"You are? Mr. Li Yunchang?"
"What? Do you know ?"
If Li Yunchang rembered correctly, this young man should be eting him for the first ti. However, the fact that he could call out his na at a glance left Li Yunchang quite surprised.
And with one sentence from Li Yunchang, Xiaofan imdiately realized he had misspoken.
Back when Xiaofan t Li Yunchang, it was at a casino in XG. Li Yunchang was there to entertain himself while discussing business with Feng Feifei.
Li Yunchang wasn't exactly a gambling addict. But since he was there, he wanted to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, he lost a large sum of money. At that ti, Li Yunchang ca to see the legal casinos here, but he lost so money and couldn't bear to leave.
After all, he's a businessman... never wanting to lose. But slowly, he got sucked in.
Because he hadn't brought a check, over ten million was lost just like that. So he borrowed so money from Feng Feifei.
Coincidentally, Xiaofan was present and helped Li Yunchang win back the money.
After winning the money back, Li Yunchang woke up like from a dream, realizing how gambling could allure people unknowingly. He wanted to sever all ties with gambling.
At that ti, Xiaofan, who was using the alias Shen Zhifan, received a valuable lighter as a token of gratitude from Li Yunchang. Speaking of which, after returning injured from XG, Li San and others collected these items and placed them in Xiaofan's residence.
And now, calling out Li Yunchang's na directly was indeed a slip of the tongue on Xiaofan's part.
"Oh, it was presumptuous of . I often see Mr. Li's distinguished self in the news and newspapers. You are a successful person, and those of us of the younger generation naturally see you as a role model. Please forgive my rashness, Mr. Li."
"Hmm? Not at all..."
Although not a Capital City accent, the Mandarin was quite standard, confirming he was indeed from Huaxia.
However, his voice felt oddly familiar, as if heard sowhere before. Yet, no matter how much Li Yunchang tried to recall, he couldn't rember where he'd t him.
The young man's conversation and deanor were both gracious and suitable. Even though it was a remote island setting, speaking properly, he ca across as quite a respectable person.
Seeing Li Yunchang not harboring suspicion, Xiaofan also breathed a sigh of relief inside.
"I wonder how I should address my young friend? Why were you and your wife in that place?" Li Yunchang continued to inquire.
"Well, Mr. Li, do you mind if I eat while chatting with you?" Xiaofan continued to nibble on his steak as he asked.
"Oh, haha, not at all, do continue eating."
Xiaofan indeed hadn't eaten anything besides seafood for a long ti. Especially rice—being a child of Huaxia, no Western food could compare to the pure fragrant scent of rice.
Plus, salt, oil, soy sauce, chili... wow, these seemingly simple things were remarkably delicious at the mont.
Being magnanimous in small matters makes a fine young man.
Li Yunchang smiled slightly, looking at Xiaofan, waiting for him to continue.
"My surna is Ye, I'm Ye Xiaofan. My wife, Leng Yue. Well, three months ago, we went on a trip to Japan, and played with so flying enthusiast friends there. We built a plane on our own, and the two of us secretly took off. Unexpectedly, we ran into a storm, lost our way, and luckily fell near that island, thus surviving."
This reason should be flawless.
Xiaofan intentionally ntioned three months ago rather than nine months ago to avoid coinciding with that explosion.
The na Ye Xiaofan is quite ordinary, there's no need to hide anything about Li Yunchang's identity. Even if soone hears his na, they might have seen him and Leng Yue's appearance, so it's unavoidable even if you want to hide it.
"What? From Japan?"
Hearing that Xiaofan started his flight from there, Li Yunchang and others were quite astonished.
It's known that this ship took over two days to travel from Taiwan to here. If it was from Japan, wouldn't the distance be even farther?
Of course, Xiaofan had also ntioned he got lost, so he didn't know the exact location, and the plane had sunk, with no one rescuing them.
"Xiaofan, you've really been extrely lucky." Li Yunchang chuckled lightly.
"Yes. I didn't expect to survive. But waiting for so many months nearly drove crazy, why didn't any ships pass by?" Xiaofan quickly asked his query.
"Hmm? I have another question I'd like to ask first."
"Okay, please go ahead." Xiaofan nodded in agreent.
"Did you really throw that stone onto the ship from such a far distance?"
"Uh..."
This question was indeed hard to explain. Even if Xiaofan claid to have natural strength, it far surpassed ordinary human capabilities.
"Actually, I used young trees on the island as support, bent the branches, tied stones, and released them, using the tree's elasticity to catapult the stones. Later, when you discovered the direction, I just mimicked the throwing action."
Alright, hopefully, this excuse will cover it.
Of course, Li Yunchang wouldn't press further. Even if he had doubts, he wouldn't ask again. Considering his stature, he was flexible in handling matters, whether Xiaofan's words were true or not. If true, great; if false, it was probably inconvenient to speak of, and as long as it didn't harm his interests or safety, Li Yunchang wouldn't forcefully pursue it.
"Oh, impressive, impressive, you're quite smart indeed."
"Well, when pushed, drastic asures must be taken. I didn't want to stay on that island for more months. Missing your ship would've ant spending my days with my wife on that small island." Xiaofan spoke worriedly, "If I missed your ship, my wife and I might have ended our days on that small island."
"Hmm, that's indeed a possibility."
"Oh?" Xiaofan looked over, sowhat surprised by Li Yunchang's words.
"Originally, our route wasn't supposed to be this way. After all, traveling along the coast, we had previously reached the Philippines' coastal area. Another boss had to load goods on board, and we stayed there for half a day, shifting our route here for another delivery near Malacca."
"Wow, really? How lucky." Xiaofan thought, feeling a chill in hindsight. The island's location usually saw no ships passing by since it wasn't on a comrcial shipping route, but a coincidence brought soone this way, thus rescuing Xiaofan.
