rebirth of evil

Nanxiang in November can be regarded as entering the late autumn, which is not only the harvest period, but also the fishing period.After all, Huo Jin still bears the title of "township head". After returning to Nanxiang, he sat down and chatted with the village officials here.

There is not much arable land in Nanxiang, and there is not even a large-scale pasture. Every family’s cattle, sheep and horses are free-range. The land is remote, and there are few people. Naturally, there are not many disputes. The arrival of the fishing season is already the biggest event in Nanxiang. up.In fact, this is nothing wrong with Huo Jin, he just needs to emphasize the safety of fishermen going out to sea.

When Mo Fan came back, Nanxiang was already in full swing.Regarding the fact that he stayed in Mohai for a few more days due to illness, old man Lai didn't say anything, because this very gregarious old man was about to roll up his sleeves and go out to sea with the fishing boat.

Watching the old man Lai climbing up and down the house to pack up the things he needed to go to sea, Mo Fan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked tangledly: "Since you can still go to the sea to play, why did you rush so hard a while ago... ?”

Old man Lai glanced at him, with a look of course on his face: "Isn't that why you are in a hurry? You have been around me for two or three years, and I can't satisfy you if I don't give you some hard work."

Mo Fan: "..."

Seeing that Mo Fan was about to jump, the old man Lai put the big net on his shoulder, turned his wrist and looked at his watch, and his tone instantly changed to that of the harsh old man: "I'll give you half an hour to go back and prepare your things."

Hey, he's going too?Mo Fan immediately turned from anger to joy, it's good to go to sea!He was worried that Huo Jin would "settle the ledger" so he came directly to old man Lai and surrendered himself. It is better to be exhausted decently than to be exhausted "irregularly".

So Mo Fan hurried home to get some clothes.

At this time, the scenery of the seaside is that the sky connects to the water, the water connects to the sky, and the sky is blue. The only difference is that the sea is deeper and the sky is farther away.Compared with the southeast coast where there are many scenic spots, Nanxiang looks a bit primitive. The wharf is the only artificial building on the seaside, and fishing boats of all sizes are docked here and there.Their destination is a small island in the distance that has been turned into a point.

This small island is called Sand Island, and its area is about the same size as Nanxiang. The vegetation on it is sparse, and bare rocks can be seen everywhere, so no one settles.However, the people of Nanxiang in the past dynasties have been accustomed to fishing and living with Shadao as the center, and they have a deep affection for Shadao.

As the mayor of Meiyan Town, Su Guangnan is naturally as "leisure" as Huo Jin. It is rare to encounter such a big event as the fishing season. He took a few friends to Nanxiang to invite Huo Jin to go to Shadao. Strolling—no, no, no, it’s to inspect.Originally, he wanted to call Mo Fan, but as soon as he arrived, he heard that Mo Fan didn't show his face, so he rushed to go to sea with Old Man Lai.

Huo Jin was going to catch the guy who absconded in fear of crime, so of course he would not refuse Su Guangnan's invitation.

Su Guangnan went out from Nanxiang, and soon found a boat that could take them out to sea, and the group went to Shadao talking and laughing.

When he was about to approach Shadao, Su Guangnan suddenly stood up, pointed to the east and said, "There is a situation!"

Huo Jin also saw the "situation" that Su Guangnan said: there was a large cruise ship parked in the east of Shadao.

Just when they looked at each other and were about to discuss it, Su Guangnan's cell phone rang suddenly—it turned out to be the special number for the Southwest District Administration, corresponding to the landline of the Southwest District Mayor!

Su Guangnan quickly connected: "I'm Meiyan Su Guangnan."

The other side of the phone said straight to the point: "I'm Mo Jiandong. Mayor Su, a cruise ship accidentally crossed the border, and the power system broke down. It was forced to come to your Meiyan Sand Island. You should go there immediately to deal with it. There are many international friends on the cruise ship. , be careful! As long as it doesn’t involve issues of principle, try to satisfy the other party’s request.”

Su Guangnan immediately realized the importance of this matter.

Of course, Mo Jiandong said this not because he has a soft temper, but because the current domestic attitude towards foreign-related issues is the same. We must be tolerant and careful to avoid unnecessary disputes.Not only can this kind of cruise ship cross-border incident not be blamed, but people, money and effort must be generously donated to help!

Su Guangnan told Huo Jin about the situation.

cruise ship!Huo Jin frowned.Although it is rare for a cruise ship to cross the border, it is definitely not rare. The key is that this accident happened a bit subtle.He recalled that there had been such accidents before the leak of the "Future" Starfish Project, which occurred between Japan and the Northeast Sea of ​​China. During the investigation, a lot of evidence pointed to the cruise ship, but the people on the cruise ship were too complicated and involved Too wide and it's really hard to lock on to the target.

But he remembered that Xu Tao from the Xu family was on the "future" cruise ship!If Xu Tao is also involved in this cruise ship accident, can he be officially included as a suspect?

The same reasoning applies to everyone else on the cruise ship.

Although it is impossible to find out all the criminals, it is not difficult to find some of them by following the vine.

But of course Huo Jin would not tell Su Guangnan about this kind of thing. He suggested: "It's better for Mayor Su to go back to the town government and I will negotiate with them. In this way, Mayor Su can take action as soon as there is any progress. .”

Su Guangnan nodded.

If Huo Jin was just a small village head, Su Guangnan would definitely not worry about such a division of labor, but who is Huo Jin?He is the prince of the Huo family, if he is not suitable to come out, then no one is suitable.

The group quickly divided into two groups, three of them went back with Su Guangnan, and the other three went to Shadao with Huo Jin.As soon as Su Guangnan yelled at the fishing boat next to him, he immediately called someone to take them around, and Huo Jin and the others still took the original boat to Shadao.

Huo Jin didn't speak any more along the way, he went through the people who had appeared on the cruise ship in his mind, and planned to confirm with Mo Fan later.In fact, what he hyped up about "starfish" was the idea of ​​luring snakes out of their holes. After all, they only have starfish near the land, so even if they were to steal it, it wouldn't be too much of a loss.

Thinking that the poisonous snake secretly spying on Huaguo is about to reveal its minions, a trace of excitement entered Huo Jin's heart.

Encountering enemies is never scary, what is scary is "unknown" enemies!

***

Mo Fan knew about the cross-border cruise ship appearing on Sand Island earlier than Huo Jin, because old man Lai chose the east side to cast his net by coincidence.Seeing the huge cruise ship approaching in a hurry, Mo Fan thought the same as Huo Jin: the opportunity they were waiting for finally came!

However, the old man Lai didn't seem to see it, he didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to open the net.

Mo Fan couldn't sit still.

When Mo Fan hesitated to speak for the tenth time, Old Man Lai finally took a look at him, and said with contempt: "Don't be ashamed and conspicuous, you still hide it from me? Isn't the matter obvious enough? It's nothing more than someone is jealous, want to come It's just a piece of cake. When you came back, I was just sure that the cruise ship would stop at Sand Island, or I wouldn't have come out."

Mo Fan: "..."

Old man Lai looked at him and said: "If you really want to go there to find out something, go there. I don't expect you to be of help anyway. It's just an eye-opener. But there are a lot of perverts in that kind of place. I don’t know if my little arms and legs can come out neatly, so be careful.”

Why does it sound so awkward when it's clearly an exhortation?Mo Fan was about to speak to Old Lai when he heard a waiter-like man running to the nearest shore and shouting, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Mo Fanmo?"

Old man Lai said: "It seems that there are your acquaintances there, now you can go upright. But this person has nothing to do with binoculars, I am afraid it is not a good thing, really be careful. I will go back soon, If you are in danger, you should find a way to call for help—you have been ill, and you haven’t forgotten how to send a signal to the host, right?”

These words really brought concern, Mo Fan nodded: "I haven't forgotten."

Old man Lai sent Mo Fan to the shore.

After talking with the waiter, Mo Fan knew who the old man Lai judged as "not a good thing" was—Xu Tao.

After confirming that Xu Tao was on the cruise ship so quickly, Mo Fan didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or a sigh.

If he could choose, Mo Fan really didn't want to find such an enemy for the Mo family.But if Xu Tao is one of the masterminds of "future", it is impossible for them not to become enemies.

After passing the basic security check, Mo Fan soon met Xu Tao.

After not seeing each other for several months, Xu Tao seems to be a little different.He was wearing a relatively casual suit with an untied tie and two loose buttons on his collar, which made him look a little less oppressive and more unrestrained.

The thirties happen to be the age of men between impulsive and mature. Men of this age seem to have a unique charm that can attract the attention of others.

Xu Tao brought this charm to the extreme.

but!Even if Mo Fan had the guts, he wouldn't be fooled by Xu Tao's appearance—let alone Huo Jin, even without Huo Jin, he wouldn't be able to provoke such a person.

It's not that I'm tired of living.

Mo Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, we meet again."

Xu Tao smiled and motioned him to take a seat: "I originally wanted to take a vacation to relax, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. But I can see you here, it doesn't feel so bad." After a pause, he asked again : "You were on a small fishing boat just now, right? What were you doing?"

Mo Fan's face was somewhat depressed: "I got into a little trouble, and my father sent me here to suffer."

Xu Tao looked interested: "What trouble can you cause?"

Mo Fan said succinctly: "I offended someone who shouldn't be offended."

Although his rhetoric is simple, anyone with a little knowledge of the inside story can understand it—in any case, Xu Tao "understands".

Xu Tao said: "Your father wants you to suffer, are you really so obedient? I have never been so honest at your age. Well, I have already come here anyway, why don't you go to cross with me?" Leave it on, let’s go back when we’ve had enough fun.”

Mo Fan looked even more depressed: "Dad was already furious when I sneaked to Mohai a few days ago, otherwise I would not obediently go out with the boat. If I follow your cruise ship again, he will kill me .”

"It's not easy." Xu Tao said, "I'll call your father, and he will definitely let you go."

Before Mo Fan nodded, Xu Tao picked up his mobile phone and approached Mo Jiandong in front of Mo Fan.After explaining the situation clearly in a few words, Xu Tao handed the phone to Mo Fan: "Your father wants to talk to you."

As soon as Mo Fan took over, Mo Jiandong asked, "Xiao Fan, do you want to follow the cruise ship?"

Xu Tao looked at Mo Fan with a smile, his gentle gaze was definitely not aggressive at all.But no matter how gentle and refined he is, it can't change the fact that he always holds the initiative in his hands.

From the very beginning, Mo Fan could only follow his will.

Sighing inwardly, Mo Fan said to Mo Jiandong, "I really want to play here."
