Chapter 4218: Chapter 4206: No One Dares to Move

"It seems like everyone is stuck here, no one dares to make a move."

"That’s pretty much it, but to be frank, they’re also waiting. This is our territory, they’re waiting for us to find out the results. Looking at the current situation, if we don’t make a move, it’s unlikely they will make a next move either. Sigh..."

Qiu Yuluo sighed, "If it weren’t for this attack incident, your plan might have continued. Now, nobody dares to do anything."

"Rain will fall, and girls will get married, these are things that can’t be helped," Lin Yi sighed and said,

"But I thought of something."

"What is it?"

"More than 20 years ago, researchers discovered a bizarre creature two meters tall at the foot of Ailao Mountain. Is it possible that this creature is someone who ventured into Ailao Mountain for exploration and never made it out, eventually transforming into this?"

"You mean they encountered the same thing as the investigators?"

"Yes," Lin Yi said,

"We can now preliminarily confirm that in Ailao Mountain, there are minerals present. The radiation emitted by the minerals caused their bodies to mutate, their bodies grew full of hair, their stature increased, and even their facial structure changed."

"This..."

Qiu Yuluo was quite interested, "Come to think of it, it’s indeed possible."

The two of them were frequent visitors to the island and were very familiar with the situation there.

The island had all kinds of minerals, many of which had miraculous properties.

Just promoting hair follicle growth and altering the body’s structure are indeed possible.

"This could indeed be a direction for our investigation."

"But for now, no one dares to go to Ailao Mountain. Let’s see what Boss Liu and the others decide after their meeting."

"Hmm."

They chatted briefly before Lin Yi hung up the phone.

He now had a clearer understanding of the situation in Ailao Mountain.

Currently, Ailao Mountain was like a giant black hole. No one knew what’s inside, no one knew what could be found inside. Everyone could only watch from afar.

If he could seize this opportunity to enter Ailao Mountain for a look, he might gain an advantage in future competitions.

But the future outcome would depend on his luck.

"What are you thinking about, spacing out like that?" Jiang Wenhui walked over and asked.

"I was thinking about how all these men at the airport keep passing by, sneaking glances at you, and wonder how to stop this from happening."

Jiang Wenhui blushed at his words.

"Don’t tease me. I’m an old woman; no one would be interested in me."

"You don’t understand. Times have changed; mature women are more appealing now."

"Actually, I’m quite puzzled. Instead of fancying all those young girls, why do they set their sights on people like us?"

"Because we know more."

"Know more?"

Jiang Wenhui was puzzled at first, unsure of what Lin Yi meant.

But after thinking for a moment, she suddenly understood, and a bashful blush appeared on her face.

"Boss, isn’t that too straightforward?"

Lin Yi smiled at Jiang Wenhui, "Look, you even admitted it, didn’t you?"

"We have more experience in such matters, so we definitely know more than those young girls."

"That’s why it’s one of the factors for the popularity," Lin Yi chuckled, saying,

"But you should be careful when finding a boyfriend in the future. Don’t go for someone too young; they might just be looking for fun."

"I know that. I’m quite rational in this regard."

"So you know everything yet pretend not to understand."

"I don’t..."

After teasing Jiang Wenhui for a bit, it was time to board the plane.

About three and a half hours later, the plane landed at Spring City’s airport.

As soon as they got off the plane, they could feel the air outside, which was noticeably fresher than in Zhong Hai.

Upon leaving the airport, they hailed a cab to their hotel.

Seeing that Lin Yi booked two presidential suites, Jiang Wenhui exclaimed in surprise,

"Aren’t these rooms a bit too extravagant? There’s no need to book such expensive ones for me; a standard room would have sufficed."

"I’m not someone who treats people differently," Lin Yi said with a smile,

"You’ve already called me boss; I can’t shortchange you."

"Well, thank you, boss, for letting me experience the life of a wealthy person."

"That’s why, when you’re free, wear some black silk skirts to reward your boss."

"I’ll try to put that on the agenda as soon as possible."

"No time like the present; why not now?"

"Now?"

"We’re heading into the mountains with you tomorrow. With my current gear, it won’t do, and it’s a bit chilly, so I need to buy a jacket."

"There’s a mall right next door; I’ll accompany you."

"Let’s go. We’ll eat first, then go shopping after."

"Mm."

After tidying up a bit, they headed to a mall across the street and found a barbecue place.

"How many kilometers from here to your home? Do we need to transfer?"

"It’s over 240 kilometers. First, we have to take a train, then a bus," Jiang Wenhui said while fixing her hair,

"But I’m just going home for a family visit, so there’s no rush. Aren’t you here for sightseeing? Let’s follow your itinerary, and I’ll be with you."

"I mainly want to see the scenery around Ailao Mountain, which happens to be near your home, so I can drop you off first."

Lin Yi said while eating,

"Over 240 kilometers is not too far. Changing transportation is a bit troublesome, so I’ll buy a car tomorrow and drive there."

"Buy a car?"

Jiang Wenhui looked at Lin Yi in astonishment.

"I’ve even bought a whole building; buying a car is nothing. Do you think that’s excessive?"

"Uh..."

Jiang Wenhui thought about it. Lin Yi seemed to have a point.

Soon, they finished their meal, paid the bill, and began walking around the mall.

Lin Yi didn’t spend much time picking, buying a jacket from Arc’teryx and a pair of sunglasses to disguise himself.

Right now, things were getting chaotic here. Who knows when he might run into someone who knows him? It wouldn’t be good to be recognized.

"Is there anything you have your eye on? Pick something; consider it an employee benefit," Lin Yi said.

"No, no, no. I’ve already got a good salary from you. I can’t let you buy me something too."

"No need to save for me, it’s just a drop in the bucket," Lin Yi said,

"Besides, if you don’t spend it, it might as well be spent on other women and it’ll be gone."

Jiang Wenhui was still a bit hesitant, "Then I’ll buy a pair of yoga pants; they’ll be more comfortable than jeans."

"Then get a softshell jacket too; it looks better with yoga pants."

"Hmm."

Then, Jiang Wenhui picked out a bright green softshell jacket but put it back immediately after seeing the price.

It almost cost as much as her monthly salary.

"This is it. Take it. I’ll go pay."
