Chapter 602: Nuonuo Cries
“Brother Xu, what’s wrong?”
“Look over there.”
An Nuonuo followed the direction of Jiang Xu’s pointing finger and her eyes lit up instantly, “Wow, is that a hot spring?”
She hopped off the car and skipped over to it excitedly.
A fairly large hot spring was continuously gushing out hot water.
The smell of sulfur was quite strong.
The quality of this hot spring seemed very high.
It was just a pity that it was summer now. If it were winter, soaking in it would definitely be very comfortable.
“Since there’s a hot spring here, let’s build our living quarters nearby,” Jiang Xu said.
“Sure.” An Nuonuo nodded, her lively eyes twinkling, “I’m actually looking forward to winter now.
I read in a book that on islands that have recently formed, if there are hot springs, their quality is very high, with skin whitening and improvement benefits…”
As she said this, An Nuonuo gently shook Jiang Xu’s arm, “Can we get someone to set up a simple shelter now? I want to soak in it tonight.”
Jiang Xu couldn’t help but laugh.
Indeed, no girl could resist the temptation of skin whitening and improvement.
As for his fiancée’s small request, Jiang Xu naturally wouldn’t refuse it.
He made a phone call, summoning a bunch of people to come over and start building a house around the hot spring.
Materials were being transported over by ships, and there was no shortage of food or drink.
While the house was being quickly constructed, Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo for a stroll and then found a flat spot to start cooking.
The one thing you never lack at sea is a variety of seafood.
The workers brought over lots of preprocessed seafood.
For convenience, they decided to make a big pot of seafood noodles.
An Nuonuo found some stones nearby to set up a stand and placed a pot on it.
Jiang Xu lit the charcoal and poured in mineral water.
This was practically like camping out.
“Let me do it, Brother Xu, you take a break.”
An Nuonuo volunteered eagerly.
She used to do these things all the time when she was younger and was very skilled at it.
Even now that she was very rich, she hadn’t forgotten her old skills and didn’t think doing these things was beneath her.
If it weren’t for the many people on the island now, Jiang Xu would have wanted to pull An Nuonuo aside to work on practice questions.
Using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a mat, blowing in the sea breeze, doing practice questions—what a delightful thing that would be.
The water boiled, they added the noodles, starting with the seafood that took longer to cook, followed by various shrimps and squids.
A rich fragrance immediately filled the air.
The aroma of this freshly caught and cooked seafood was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.
Just add a bit of salt, no need for any other seasonings.
“Wow, it smells so good.” An Nuonuo served a bowl first for Jiang Xu, “Try it and see.”
“Hmm, it’s perfect.” Jiang Xu couldn’t stop praising it, “My wife’s cooking is so delicious, sweet, full of love.”
“Smack!”
An Nuonuo looked around, and seeing that no one was nearby, she leaned in close to Jiang Xu and kissed him on the cheek, then stood there grinning foolishly.
Jiang Xu watched the lovely woman in front of him with a face full of indulgence.
He had to make sure she stayed this happy forever.
Anyone who coveted An Nuonuo and planned to steal her from him, no matter who they were, would be dealt with harshly.
After eating their fill and taking a brief rest, Jiang Xu hopped back on the three-wheeler and took An Nuonuo around the island again.
Before they knew it, it was past six in the evening.
The island had a significant temperature difference between day and night.
During the day it was over thirty degrees, but now it was just over ten.
The temporary living quarters weren’t ready yet, so Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo stayed on one of the fishing boats docked at the shore.
A large room had been prepared in advance, cleaned up neatly, with new bed coverings, toiletries, and everything else fully supplied.
An Nuonuo longed to soak in a hot spring.
But the makeshift houses over there wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow, so she could only take a hot bath today.
In the bathroom, the sound of splashing water echoed.
An Nuonuo was taking a bath.
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, was on the phone with Liu Dahai.
Liu Dahai: “Boss, the brothers have settled in nicely in Mei Country, and we’ve already picked up a bit of information.”
Jiang Xu’s gaze flickered, “Speak!”
Liu Dahai: “That person’s son is running a company over here, valued at tens of billions.
Besides that, this person keeps a very regular schedule, seemingly just going to and from work and rarely elsewhere.
He’s also got bodyguards following him in secret, making it difficult for us to get close anytime soon.”
Jiang Xu paced back and forth in the room, various ideas flashing through his mind.
Then he said, “Take a two-pronged approach: one is to see if you can get close using a woman. The other, check out that company for any issues.”
Liu Dahai was overjoyed, “Boss, you’re brilliant, coming up with a breakthrough strategy on the fly. My admiration for you is simply…”
“Enough, enough, spare me the flattery,” Jiang Xu cut off the bootlicking man: “The mission is important, but so is your safety.
If you spot anything wrong, run first, then we can figure out the rest later.”
By now, Liu Dahai had become the head of his own intelligence agency.
Many things required his personal involvement, and Jiang Xu did not wish to lose him.
Training another would be time-consuming and laborious, and it was not a given that they would be as capable as Liu Dahai.
“I know, I certainly will,” said Liu Dahai, gratefully.
“Okay, that’s it then,” Jiang Xu thought for a moment and then added, “Tell the brothers.
If this mission is accomplished, everyone will get an extra twenty million as a reward, and you will get an additional two hundred million.”
If they could obtain some leverage over that man’s son, their odds of success would be even higher.
He was always very generous with his own people.
Liu Dahai was so excited he almost shouted out loud.
After ending the call, he gathered everyone together.
With a beaming face, he said, “I just got off the phone with the boss, and he asked me to tell you all.
If we succeed in this mission, each person will get an extra twenty million in bonuses!”
“Really?”
“Holy shit, that’s awesome!”
“For this task, I’d stake my life to complete it!”
“Working for the boss is truly bliss!”
“If the boss is willing, I’d even offer up my girlfriend to him.”
…
Everyone was energized.
A twenty million bonus, spent wisely, could generate enough interest to support a family of four for fifty years.
After all, dealing in cold, hard cash was more substantial than any words.
Not just them, even Liu Dahai at this moment couldn’t wait to directly rush to the man’s house to gather evidence.
…
The next morning.
When Jiang Xu woke up, An Nuonuo was not beside him.
Startled, he bolted upright, forgoing his clothes and ran outside.
Seeing her gazing into the distance from the deck, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He went back inside to grab a coat and draped it over her, “Why are you out here so early when it’s chilly? You didn’t even think to wear a coat.”
“Brother Xu~” An Nuonuo turned her head, making Jiang Xu’s heart tremble.
Because at that moment, the tears were streaming down the young girl’s face.
