Chapter 217 Giving Away an Earring
"Could it be this guy?"
A hint of inquiry flashed in Yan Shuo's eyes. "Is he here to entertain guests or to enjoy the scenery? Whatever his purpose, now that I've run into him, he won't be able to get away so easily."
"Alright, more work to do!" Yan Shuo stopped thinking about it, took out the beacon he had prepared in advance from his pocket, and took advantage of the darkness and the woman's busy work to quietly climb onto the edge of the yacht and quickly weld the beacon to the waterline of the yacht near the railing.
The beacon's color is almost identical to the yacht's paint; without close inspection, the difference is virtually imperceptible.
This beacon is no ordinary locator. It can report the yacht's location in real time, with an effective range of up to 100 kilometers. Moreover, it has a full battery and can work continuously for ten days, which is more than enough for his subsequent monitoring use.
More importantly, this beacon can also record surrounding sounds in real time and transmit all the sounds it hears back, allowing him to keep track of what's happening on the yacht at any time.
After welding the beacon, Yan Shuo quietly slid back into the water and swam towards the opposite bank.
After going ashore, he left two weapon dolls in a secluded spot on the shore, instructing them to keep a close watch on the two luxury yachts and to report to him immediately via receiver if there was any unusual activity.
He then got into the car and headed towards the Begonia Tavern.
Back at the Begonia Tavern, Yan Shuo had just opened the door when Liu Yan greeted him with a smile, her face full of joy. She quickly took his suit jacket, carefully hung it on the hanger, and turned back to ask with concern, "You're back! Have you eaten? You're so late, were you busy with something again?"
"Yes, you're back." Yan Shuo nodded with a smile, his tone tinged with fatigue but still gentle. "Have some food. Pour me a drink to help me relax."
"Okay!" Liu Yan replied with a smile, turned around and quickly walked into the bar, soon returning with a cup of warm coffee.
She walked over to Yan Shuo, gently sat on his lap, stretched out her arms, hugged his neck tightly, rested her head on his shoulder, and asked coquettishly, "Where did you go today? You're so late, I was so worried about you."
"I had a lot to do today, so I came back as soon as I finished."
Yan Shuo raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, asking with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you miss me so much?"
Liu Yan sniffed, her brows furrowing slightly. Looking at Yan Shuo's hair with a puzzled expression, she asked, "What's that smell? It's so fishy, and it smells like river water. Did you go to the water's edge?"
"Yes, I went into the water, in the Huangpu River," Yan Shuo said casually, without hiding anything.
"What? The Huangpu River?" Liu Yan looked at him with wide eyes in surprise. "What are you going to the Huangpu River for? Even if you're going fishing, you don't need to go into the water yourself, do you?"
"Hahaha! All you know is fishing."
Yan Shuo was amused by her adorable appearance, raised his hand and gently pinched her nose, saying mysteriously, "I'll show you something fun, I guarantee you'll like it."
As he spoke, Yan Shuo took out an exquisite magical artifact earring from his pocket. The earring was simple in design yet luxurious, gleaming softly under the light, and was quite beautiful.
He grasped Liu Yan's fingers, and with a gentle press of his nails, he made a small cut on her fingertip, from which a fine bead of blood oozed.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise, trying to pull her hand back, but Yan Shuo held it tightly.
"Don't move, look!" Yan Shuo said with a smile, carefully wiping the drop of blood from her fingertip onto the magical earring.
As soon as she finished speaking, a miraculous scene unfolded: the earring instantly absorbed the blood droplet, the bloodstains on it disappeared without a trace, and then it flew up automatically and gently landed in Liu Yan's palm.
"Wow! This earring is amazing!" Liu Yan's eyes widened as she carefully held the earring, examining it closely with delight. But she quickly frowned, flipped Yan Shuo's hand over, and asked疑惑地问道, "Why is there only one? Aren't earrings usually sold in pairs?"
"Just one." Yan Shuo nodded with a smile, his tone relaxed.
"How can I wear just one?" Liu Yan pouted, looking aggrieved. "Wearing just one looks so weird."
"Silly girl, these aren't ordinary earrings."
Yan Shuo smiled and ruffled her hair, explaining, "Once you put on this earring, no one else can see it. Only you can feel it. No one else can see or touch it, so it won't seem strange."
"Oh? Really?" Liu Yan looked surprised, then remembered something and asked疑惑地问道, "By the way, I clearly smeared some blood on it just now, how did it disappear all of a sudden? What exactly is this earring?"
"This is a magical artifact," Yan Shuo said earnestly. "Try to feel this earring, give it commands in your mind, and look inside it."
"Look inside?" Liu Yan looked blank, but still followed Yan Shuo's instructions, closed her eyes, concentrated, and silently said in her mind: Look inside the earring.
"Yes, that's it. Think about it and look inside the earring. There's a private space inside that can hold a lot of things," Yan Shuo gently guided from the side.
"Can it hold things?" Liu Yan opened her eyes, looking at the earring in her hand with surprise and disbelief.
"Yes, it can hold things."
Yan Shuo nodded and explained in detail, "This is a magical artifact I specially prepared for you. It has a space of 500 cubic meters, enough to store your clothes, money, food, and daily necessities. It can also hold confidential documents, firearms, and ammunition—basically anything you need. It's very easy to use. Whatever you touch, just think 'collect' and it will be stored inside; if you want to take it out, just think 'take,' and it will automatically appear. However, there's one thing to note: inanimate animals, such as birds, dogs, and cats, cannot be placed inside."
"Wow! This is amazing! It's incredible!"
Overjoyed, Liu Yan quickly picked up the coffee cup from the table, silently saying "take," and the coffee cup, along with the coffee inside, vanished instantly. She then silently said "take," and the coffee cup reappeared on the table, the coffee inside still warm and unspoiled.
Liu Yan played with the magical earrings in her hand, her face full of adoration. She looked up at Yan Shuo, her eyes practically drooping, and asked softly, "How did you get such magical things? You've given them all to me, what are you going to use them for?"
"I gave it to you, so naturally I have more. I have some too, it's in my hands."
Yan Shuo smiled and raised his hand, gesturing for her to look at his fingers. They were bare, but only he knew that there was a ring on his hand.
Liu Yan was completely baffled. She reached out and touched it, but there was nothing there.
"Once a magical artifact is recognized by its owner, only the owner can see and touch it; others cannot perceive it. Once recognized, it cannot be lost; it will automatically appear in your hand whenever you wish."
