Xu Fei said with some pride: "I was born as a poor child. I used to cook for my mother every day at home. Sometimes she works a lot and has no time to cook. If I don't know how to cook, I will definitely starve." The reporters following her took pictures of Xu Fei cooking from time to time, she believed that Xu Fei would definitely become popular, and everything she recorded might become an exclusive revelation in the future.
Lu Jingcheng watched the rising smoke not far away, a vague smile flitted across the corner of his mouth.
Apart from Lu Jingcheng, there were also several bearded men in camouflage uniforms who were also staring at the smoke. They were slowly approaching the island in a speedboat.
"The money owner has told you that you must not hurt anyone, so you hold on to me. This job is worth a lot of money. If anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me for not saving face for him!" A man who looked like a leader The bearded man sternly said to his five companions.
Several people nodded one after another and drove the speedboat towards the island.
"Feifei, come with me to the forest to pick some mushrooms. I heard that there is a wild mushroom on this island that is very delicious. We usually have no chance to eat it on land." Lu Jingcheng walked to Xu Fei and said.
Xu Fei glanced at Lu Jingcheng in surprise. Asked suspiciously: "Really? There are still mushrooms on this island?"
"Of course, although the island is not big, the forest coverage rate is very high. Where there are trees, there will naturally be mushrooms. Do you want to try it with me?"
While Lu Jingcheng was talking, he glanced at the reporter intentionally or unintentionally, and the female reporter also gave Lu Jingcheng a knowing look. This was planned between them in advance, Xu Fei and Lu Jingcheng went to the forest to pick mushrooms, and the reporter took a few intimate photos of them together from a distance, so that there would be topics of scandal.
"Okay then, I'll make mushroom soup for you when I get the mushrooms!" Xu Fei put down the things in her hands, got up and said to the two interns.
The two interns had long seen the ambiguity between the two of them, so they naturally knew to avoid suspicion, so they gave Xu Fei an encouraging smile, and said something ambiguous: "Sister Feifei, you have to work hard!"
Xu Fei's face turned red, she smiled and rolled her eyes at the two of them, and followed Lu Jingcheng into the woods. After the two walked away, the reporter picked up the camera and took a few photos of their backs.
Since the few people camped on the beach, they had to walk uphill to the woods, and because of the dense reefs, Xu Fei had no choice but to hold Lu Jingcheng's hand, and was pulled forward by Lu Jingcheng.
The picture of the two holding hands was immediately captured by the reporter's camera and recorded with the camera.
Xu Fei was completely unaware that her actions were being photographed by reporters, and she didn't even think there was anything wrong with it, just holding hands was normal.
After entering the woods, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and a cool breath rushed over.
Xu Fei took a breath with some enjoyment, "Wow, the air here is really good. If you can build a log cabin here, it will be great to live here for a long time!"
Lu Jingcheng chuckled and said, "You are really naive. Are you sure you can stand the life without electricity and internet? If you live here, you have to learn to plow the fields, grow your own vegetables and learn to go fishing. To face the typhoon storm—"
"Hey—" Xu Fei stomped her feet, pouted her mouth and complained, "You're really boring, I'm just fantasizing about it, why are you trying so hard to hit my pure dream?"
"I'm not attacking you, I'm just giving you a piece of advice," Lu Jingcheng continued to laugh, "If you really have such thoughts, I can actually satisfy you."
"Really?" Xu Fei asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's true," Lu Jingcheng said sternly, "I can hold a meeting with the company's executives to study it when I go back, and build a resort on this island. While earning tourism income, it can also be used as our film and television base. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"It's a good idea, but this island is a disputed island. I'm afraid it will be difficult to build a resort here."
"It doesn't matter, I believe that one day this island will be legitimately planted with our national flag, and then we can start construction!" Lu Jingcheng said confidently.
"I really can't see that you are a patriotic and angry youth!" Xu Fei joked with a smile.
"I'm patriotic, but I'm not an angry youth," Lu Jingcheng said with a smile, "I'm very rational and know what to do and what not to do."
The two walked deep into the woods while talking. Suddenly there was a loud bang, which startled the birds in the woods into flight.
Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, she immediately recognized that the sound was a gunshot!
The gunshots came from behind the two of them, Xu Fei subconsciously turned her head and was about to walk back, but was stopped by Lu Jingcheng.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Jingcheng said in a low voice.
"We can't wait! They may be in danger!" Xu Fei said anxiously.
Lu Jingcheng calmly analyzed: "Even if they are in danger, do you think the two of us can solve the problem? Besides, we still don't know what's going on outside. It's okay if it's the navy of that small country. After all, they dare not Hurt someone, but what if it is a pirate?"
"Pirates?" Xu Fei turned pale with shock, "How could there be pirates here?"
"Of course there will be pirates. Pirates like to appear in sea areas where sovereignty is disputed, because the navies of the disputed countries do not patrol the sea area very frequently in order to avoid conflicts, so they have a lot of room for movement. Maybe we Unlucky, I ran into them!"
"Then what should we do! Why don't we call for help quickly! Let our navy rescue us!"
Lu Jingcheng took out his phone and glanced at it, sighed and handed it to Xu Fei, "There is no signal coverage here, and we don't bring satellite phones, so calling for help is impossible!"
Xu Fei was so anxious that she almost burst into tears, "What can I do, I heard that pirates are inhuman, they can do anything!"
Lu Jingcheng put his arm around Xu Fei's shoulder to comfort him: "Feifei, don't worry, we are still not sure what happened over there, let's go back quietly and see what happened from a distance, and then we can't think of a way out. Late!"
At this time, Xu Fei no longer cared whether Lu Jingcheng's actions were ambiguous or not. She had already regarded Lu Jingcheng as the backbone and the head of the family. In her eyes, Lu Jingcheng was the only hope for this group of people to escape!
Following the route they came from, the two walked back to the edge of the woods, hid behind a rock and looked out.
After just one glance, Xu Fei's face turned pale. Five or six men in camouflage, turbans and rifles tied the three girls back to back and were looking through their tents and packages.
"It's a pirate!" Lu Jingcheng whispered.
"They are wearing camouflage uniforms. Could it be the navy of that rogue country?"
"No, their camouflage uniforms are not the same standard, and their rifles are also different. Besides, how can there be any turbans in the navy? I can be sure that they are definitely pirates!"
Xu Fei was about to cry anxiously, "What should I do? Will they take them away?"
"According to the usual style of pirates, they will definitely do this. After all, the ransom is a very important income for them."
"Then what should we do? They are girls, if they are taken away by pirates, the consequences—"
Xu Fei didn't dare to say anything, she didn't even dare to think about it.
Lu Jingcheng pondered for a while, then said to Xu Fei: "We have made an agreement with the captain, they will pick us up in 48 hours, there are satellite phones on board, and armed (harmonious) security guards, as long as we stop the pirates before they arrive Don't let them go, and our people will be saved!"
"Stop them? How can you hold them back? There are so many of them, with guns in their hands, how can we hold them back?"
Lu Jingcheng looked at the speedboat parked on the beach, and whispered in Xu Fei's ear: "I'll go around and destroy the engine of their speedboat, so they can't leave, but I need you to go back to the woods and raise a pile of Fire, they will definitely search the mountains when they see the smoke, so I have a chance!"
Xu Fei hesitated for a moment. She felt that Lu Jingcheng's plan was good, but if he said that the pirates would search the mountains, they might find her. I took it in by myself.
Lu Jingcheng seemed to have seen what Xu Fei was thinking, so he said softly, "If you can damage the engine of the speedboat, we can take it easy and I'll set it on fire."
"This—I don't know how to do it!" Xu Fei was in a dilemma.
After thinking for a while, Lu Jingcheng took out a lighter from his body, "That's good, you find an open place in the forest, then pick up some dead branches and set it up, light the lighter and put it in the woodpile. It won't burn too fast, and by the time they search the mountain, you will have already run away."
"That's it..." Xu Fei began to consider the feasibility of the matter.
"Let's go, let's agree on a meeting point. After you set the fire, go to the meeting point and wait for me. I will find you as soon as possible. Even if they find us, I will never let them hurt you!"
Seeing the firm gaze in Lu Jingcheng's eyes, Xu Fei felt a sense of security, and nodded involuntarily, "Thank you, Jingcheng."
Lu Jingcheng smiled slightly, "For you, it's worth it."
Xu Fei's heart trembled, these words were infinitely close to a confession
