Dead Soul Island: The scheming childhood sweetheart seduces the aloof beauty

1200 Survival Coins! Even the usually composed Jiang Lin was surprised by the sheer generosity of Dead Soul Island this time!

"What do you mean by low mortality rate?" Jiang Lin asked, puzzled. How could a large-scale dungeon with 40 players have a low mortality rate?

"Simply put, as long as one person in the team survives to clear the dungeon, all the dead teammates will automatically revive when the dungeon ends!" Liu Yangyang answered Jiang Lin's question, but his eyes were glued to Ji Xingyi: "It's like we have four lives!"

Jiang Lin took out his phone and opened Dead Soul Island. He hadn't even checked his points yet after leaving the witch's world.

30 Survival Coins are more than enough!

If only one person survives to clear this dungeon, and a team of four splits 1200 points, that would be awesome!

Jiang Lin looked up and answered Yi Jing, "I'm willing to participate."

Liu Yangyang looked at Ji Xingyi with great interest.

Ji Xingyi: "If Jiang Lin participates, I will participate too."

Yi Jing nodded.

Jiang Lin glanced at Liu Yangyang: "Who's the other teammate?"

The blond youth tilted his head to the left and nodded: "Zhiwei."

Jiang Lin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"What do you mean! You look down on me?" An Zhiwei was already dissatisfied with Jiang Lin because of Ruan Qing's death. Now, feeling slighted by the young man, she stood up angrily and said arrogantly like a fighting rooster, "I have cleared the dungeon three times. What, am I not qualified to be your teammate?"

"It's an honor." Jiang Lin wasn't angry at all; he smiled, even though he had just killed one of his teammates.

"Then it's settled! The dungeon will officially start at 8 PM tonight!" Liu Yangyang made the final decision.

Ji Xingyi hadn't expected such a rush. Seeing that Jiang Lin had no objections, she nodded. Just as she was about to get up, Liu Yangyang reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Koichi, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"

The red-haired youth's overly familiar manner made Ji Xingyi feel very uncomfortable, especially since the guy kept touching his knee with his knee from time to time. This feeling reminded Ji Xingyi of Chen Jiangqiao, who was controlled by the witch.

"No need, thanks." Ji Xingyi stood up with a cold face and tried to take Jiang Lin's hand, but Jiang Lin refused.

“Young Master Yi rarely treats people, so we should at least give him face,” Jiang Lin said, looking at Yi Jing.

The blond boy smiled with interest: "Of course."

Upon seeing the exchange of glances between the two, Ji Xing got up and left the private room, heading towards the restroom. He needed to calm down immediately; if he waited another second, he would have kicked the tea table away.

The distance from the private room to the restroom was quite far. Ji Xingyi had just lit a cigarette when he heard someone calling him.

"Young Master Ji!"

A group of business people walked towards us down the corridor.

"Mr. Wang, what a coincidence." Ji Xingyi shook hands with the middle-aged man with a receding hairline who was leading the group.

This man, named Wang Yaojun, was the second-in-command at Mingyao Real Estate. He held a high position in Hangzhou, comparable to the Lin family. The address "Young Master Ji" wasn't actually meant for Ji Xingyi, who was thirty years younger, but rather for Old Master Ji.

“Young Master Ji, these are the domestic heads of ST International Security Company.” Wang Yaojun stepped aside to introduce the man and woman behind him.

The blonde woman with a long ponytail reached out her hand to Ji Xingyi, inadvertently revealing a mole on the back of her hand: "Hello, Mr. Ji. You can call me Alice, or you can call me by my Chinese name, Zou Wenjing."

"Hello," Ji Xingyi politely returned the handshake.

The young man next to Zou Wenjing also extended his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Ji, my name is Li Yu."

Ji Xing nodded and returned the handshake, it was just a polite gesture, but the other party suddenly tightened his grip. Ji Xing looked down in confusion and met Li Yu's deep eyes.

"Mr. Ji, please feel free to contact me if you need anything. This is my business card." Li Yu released his hand and handed over his business card with a smile.

Ji Xingyi vaguely felt that Li Yu's gaze was a bit strange, as if he recognized her, but Ji Xingyi was certain that she had not seen Li Yu.

Li Yu wasn't particularly handsome, but he had a professional air about him, making him much more recognizable than Chen Jiangqiao.

"Okay." After taking the business card, Ji Xingyi walked aside to chat privately with Wang Yaojun: "Mr. Wang, I remember that Mingyao Real Estate's security company used to be Zhuoyue, right? Why did it change to ST?"

For people of their level, both personal and company assets require some level of security. Excellence Security has always had a good reputation in China, so Mingyao Real Estate's sudden change of security company is somewhat strange. The Ji family also has dealings with Mingyao Real Estate, so Ji Xingyi asked a few more questions.

Wang Yaojun leaned close to Ji Xingyi and whispered, "Young Master Ji, you saw the news about the explosion at Yuejiang Times a couple of days ago, right?"

Ji Xingyi nodded. The next day, the news reported the cause of the explosion: the company on the 86th floor was laying off employees. A 45-year-old employee lost his job in middle age and could not afford the high mortgage. He chose to take revenge and used a homemade bomb to blow up the entire company.

If it weren't for Jiang Lin's mysterious letter, Ji Xingyi would have believed the police investigation results. But there's no such thing as a coincidence in the world, and he didn't believe that anyone could predict the future.

“But none of that matters,” Wang Yaojun continued, making a startling statement: “The important thing is that on the night of that incident, the private vault of Zhuoyue on the fifth basement level of Yuejiang Times was robbed!”

For a security company to have its own private vault burglarized is a disgrace in the industry and a devastating blow to its reputation. Although Excellence tried its best to cover it up, word eventually leaked out. It was only after hearing about this that Mingyao Real Estate considered changing its security company.

The Ji family has no cooperation with Zhuoyue, so Ji Xingyi has not yet received this news.

"What's missing? Why didn't Zhuoyue call the police?" Ji Xingyi suddenly felt like he had grasped an important clue.

Wang Yaojun looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then whispered, "It's strange how the thief stole a diamond necklace worth 70 million. There's something wrong with the way he got it, so the owner couldn't report it to the police. And Zhuoyue wanted to settle things quietly, so they paid for it themselves!"

(70 million Chinese Yuan = 10 million US Dollars.)

Ji Xingyi's pupils contracted sharply. A diamond necklace?

The discomfort of the sapphire necklace constricting my neck resurfaced.
