He wanted to hang up, but Mei Jie kept staring at him. Mei Jie must have thought that it was about Xiangxiang running away with the money. He had no choice but to look at her and say, "Sister Mei, don't worry too much." As he said that, he pressed the answer button. Situ Lan's voice came through. "Why is your phone off for so long?"
"It's Sister Lan. I just got off the plane. I'm on a business trip to Hainan. What's the matter, Sister Lan? " Ma Yingjie tried to make his voice sound polite. He was actually hinting to Situ Lan that he wasn't alone and it wasn't convenient for him to answer the phone, so she shouldn't say anything out of line.
What kind of person was Situ Lan? She could tell from Ma Yingjie's tone that he wasn't on a business trip alone. But why would he need to go to Hainan? So she asked, "Why are you going to Hainan?"
"I came to Hainan with Chief Mei to look for someone." Ma Yingjie had to use Mei Jie. He was worried that Situ Lan would continue to ask.
"What happened?" Situ Lan still wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Where are you?" Ma Yingjie asked back.
"What the hell happened?" Situ Lan asked again. These few days, Ma Yingjie hadn't called her or sent her a message. She didn't know why, but she felt empty in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was. She couldn't help but call Ma Yingjie's phone. But after calling many times, it was turned off. She finally got through, but he was actually in Hainan. That proved that something had happened. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for him to go to Hainan at this time.
Mei Jie was beside him. How should Ma Yingjie answer? If he didn't say it, Situ Lan wouldn't be able to fool him. If he said it, it would easily arouse Mei Jie's suspicion. Ma Yingjie realized that whenever Situ Lan appeared, she would always put him in a dilemma.
"Director Mei and I are here to see the situation of the investment." Ma Yingjie thought for a long time and still made up a reason. If he told Situ Lan that Xiangxiang ran away with the money, she would be surprised for a long time and would have to ask in detail for a long time. In that case, it would be easy for Mei Jie to guess.
"Just you and her?" Situ Lan asked deliberately.
"Yes." Ma Yingjie replied and wanted to hang up.
Situ Lan seemed to feel that Ma Yingjie was trying to deal with her, so she said sensibly, "Go ahead." After that, she hung up.
Ma Yingjie heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Mei Jie had been listening to him wholeheartedly, so he smiled and explained, "Mayor Luo's sister-in-law."
"Oh, it's her. I heard that he's very powerful. " Mei Jie replied casually, but this sentence stunned Ma Yingjie. Could it be that all the officials in Wu Du's government knew about Situ Lan's background? However, Ma Yingjie didn't say much. Instead, he chuckled and turned his face to the taxi driver. He looked at him and asked, "Sir, how long until we reach the beach?"
"Ten minutes," the taxi driver replied.
"That's good." Ma Yingjie seemed to be responding to the taxi driver, but also seemed to be talking to himself. However, Mei Jie's expression was a little nervous. She turned her face and pretended to look at the sea outside. Although it wasn't her first time coming to Hainan, her mood was extremely heavy. She was the one who guided Xiangxiang. She was so innocent in the beginning, but she always instilled in her that women must have money, and only with money could they feel safe. She guided Xiangxiang to seduce officials, obtained evidence one after another, and told Xiangxiang how to use the evidence to generate money. In the past few years, she had relied on this method to earn a lot of money with Xiangxiang. She thought that she could use Professor Liu's power to transfer to Wu Du, but in the end, she was disrupted by Ma Yingjie. For a time, she hated Ma Yingjie to the core. But now, she had no choice but to rely on this young man to find Xiangxiang and let them go.
They finally arrived at the beach. Ten minutes was both short and long for Mei Jie. She didn't dare to face this reality. Xiangxiang had always been following her. It could be said that Xiangxiang was her shadow. Now that this shadow had suddenly caused such a big commotion, Mei Jie didn't have any confidence at all. She even wondered if she had misjudged Xiangxiang, or if Xiangxiang had always been hiding her ambitions? However, she didn't dare to tell Ma Yingjie her real worries. Now, she and Ma Yingjie had both arrived at the beach. They were about to face a hope or a blow. It was really difficult for Mei Jie to calm down. Even if Mei Jie had thousands of thoughts, when Ma Yingjie said, "Sister Mei, come down. We're here." Mei Jie couldn't help but get out of the taxi. The sound of the waves reached her ears. At this moment, she actually felt a little dizzy. Fortunately, Ma Yingjie quickly supported her and asked carefully, "Sister Mei, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Maybe I'm carsick." Mei Jie tried her best to suppress her emotions and led Ma Yingjie to the beach.
This was the first time Ma Yingjie had faced the sea. The blue water made Ma Yingjie feel touched. This feeling didn't seem to have anything to do with life, but it was a direct experience of the power of nature. Ma Yingjie wanted to walk into the waves. He had the urge to plunge into the waves and play. However, he couldn't have such thoughts. If he couldn't find Xiangxiang, how could he have the mood to look at the sea? Although the waves of the sea surged towards the shore one after another, and they were much more majestic and magnificent than the waves of the Yangtze River; although walking on the beach by the sea, a warm and romantic feeling went straight into the heart; although, at this moment, Ma Yingjie had a side that was as warm as water. However, because he was looking for someone, and someone very important, he couldn't help but sigh.
All the warmth and all the distracting thoughts were suppressed by Ma Yingjie. This feeling was terrible. He couldn't enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was like a hungry person facing delicious food.
In the shallow waves, on the beach, couples in swimsuits showed off their beautiful bodies as if there was no one else around. Some couples even snuggled up to each other, so intimate. These scenes that couldn't be seen in the mainland could be seen everywhere in Sanya under the sunshine. For Ma Yingjie, as a young man entering such a scene for the first time, the visual stimulation was quite huge. He really had an impulse to expand his blood vessels. This impulse was always directly linked to his body. He was a little embarrassed, afraid that his body's change would be discovered by Mei Jie.
Ma Yingjie pretended to look at the sea and tried not to look at these intimate scenes. However, the more he tried not to look, the more his eyes involuntarily swept over them. This kind of sneaky excitement was so new to Ma Yingjie, and he was so curious about it. This kind of feeling made Ma Yingjie feel a very direct joy. He didn't think that he was being unreasonable. In his opinion, this kind of immoral behavior after leaving a familiar place was a little bit flirtatious. No wonder so many people liked to travel alone and like to travel alone. This kind of romantic encounter on the road was probably the most beautiful aftertaste of life.
Mei Jie saw what Ma Yingjie was looking at and asked Ma Yingjie, "Is this your first time coming to the beach?"
Ma Yingjie didn't expect Mei Jie to suddenly ask him this question. He blushed and quickly retracted his gaze from the couples. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes. This is my first time seeing the sea. It turns out to be so vast and boundless. "These words were from Ma Yingjie's heart. Standing by the sea, he really did feel very small. Compared to the vast and boundless sea, what was he? So what if Xiangxiang ran away with the money? If he just floated in the waves and didn't think about anything and didn't have to think about anything, that would be such a pleasant thing.
Just as Ma Yingjie was thinking this beautifully, Mei Jie seemed to have seen something. She was hurriedly walking towards the ends of the world. Ma Yingjie followed Mei Jie's direction and looked forward. There was a woman sitting on a rock in the distance. Her figure looked so lonely, yet so gentle and beautiful.
She was sitting, not moving at all. She was facing the sea as if she was on a pilgrimage, but also as if she was thinking of endless thoughts.
Ma Yingjie couldn't see clearly who it was, but when the woman's figure entered Ma Yingjie's eyes, she didn't move and just sat in a certain posture. Ma Yingjie thought that she had been sitting in this posture for a long time. If a person was sitting in the same posture, there must be something she was hesitating about.
Was this woman Xiangxiang? A feeling flashed across Ma Yingjie's heart. He didn't dare to confirm it. Because he hadn't seen Xiangxiang Xiang many times.
Ma Yingjie looked at Mei Jie. Ma Yingjie couldn't see Mei Hao's expression, but Mei Jie's initial daze turned into a quickened pace, followed by a kind of impatience and eagerness. This made Ma Yingjie realize that the woman sitting there without moving was Xiangxiang Xiang.
Ma Yingjie's eyes instantly widened. He didn't dare to believe that this woman, who had swept away such a huge sum of money, was really sitting alone and helpless on a rock in Hainan. What was she looking for here? To look at the sea? To seek the sea's pilgrimage? Or to find strength in the embrace of the sea, to find a rebirth or to find a way out?
Ma Yingjie really couldn't figure out Xiangxiang Xiang's sitting figure at this moment. Could it be that women really had long hair but short knowledge? If Ma Yingjie had obtained such a huge sum of money, he definitely wouldn't sit here quietly, and definitely wouldn't let himself fall into visible danger.
Could it be that Xiangxiang didn't know this simple question? But why was she sitting there quietly now?
Ma Yingjie didn't ask Mei Jie, but silently followed behind her, walking towards the rock in the Haijiao Tianya.
He could already see the words' Haijiao Tianya ', and the woman sitting there without moving was really Xiangxiang Xiang. Mei Jie suddenly became excited. She took off her shoes, threw them to Ma Yingjie, and ran on the beach. Ma Yingjie didn't follow her, but held Mei Jie's shoes and slowly moved towards the Haijiao Tianya. But his mood couldn't help but become anxious. He even thought that if Mei Jie and Xiangxiang Xiang ran away under his eyes, how would he explain to his boss?
Ma Yingjie didn't dare to blink his eyes again. He stared at Mei Jie who was running, and then at Xiangxiang Xiang who was sitting there without moving.
