154: Chapter 154 Missing

The dazzling fireworks show lasted for over an hour.

Besides the thirty Hachishaku fireworks that lit up the sky, there were many other types of fireworks.

Although they were less breathtaking compared to the Hachishaku, they were still varieties that are rarely seen.

Even after the fireworks show ended, the students still looked like they wanted more.

"Lin Yi, our livestream room has exploded in popularity!"

Xu Dongqing waved at Lin Yi excitedly.

Lin Yi leaned over to take a look and saw that the viewer count for Xu Dongqing and Jiang Xiaowan's livestream room had surpassed one million.

Furthermore, many of them were new users.

It was obvious they had just registered.

Lin Yi hadn't expected his move to be a happy accident.

It had actually taken advantage of the momentum to boost the popularity of Whale Live Streaming and Zuimeng Island.

"Then, for the next few days, it will be up to you to find time to do some outdoor livestreams on the island."

"Let the fans enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zuimeng Island."

Because Zuimeng Island limits the number of visitors per day, many people who want to come are unable to.

Therefore, they can only see what Zuimeng Island is like through the livestreams.

Whale Live Streaming had gained over a million new users just from this one livestream tonight.

Su Ming admired Lin Yi's strategic planning even more.

"So, everything Dad said was true."

"Every move Lin Yi makes has a deep meaning behind it."

"On the surface, it looks like he just invited two close female friends to travel to Zuimeng Island together."

"And this fireworks show looks like it was done on a whim."

"But it's all interconnected, combining the opening of Zuimeng Island with an exclusive livestream on the Whale platform."

"And he spared no expense to put on such a grand fireworks show."

"Just the gimmick of thirty Hachishaku fireworks is enough to get many people to click in and watch!"

Originally, Su Ming thought she had a great talent for business.

She didn't expect that compared to Lin Yi, she was still too green.

"Lin Yi, I think we can save the recording of the fireworks show we just livestreamed and post it on the Whale homepage."

"That way, those who didn't get to watch the livestream today can click in and watch the replay after hearing about it."

Su Ming proposed her idea.

Lin Yi nodded.

"You are the General Manager of Whale Live Streaming, so you can decide these things yourself."

Feeling Lin Yi's trust, Su Ming felt sweet inside.

Meng Xueer, who was on the side, also looked at Lin Yi with newfound respect.

She had originally thought he was just wealthy.

Now it seems that Lin Yi's business acumen is far beyond what ordinary people can reach.

With Lin Yi, the backbone, present, Meng Xueer believes that the technology company he founds in the future will also make a stunning impact.

...

After the fireworks show ended, the students sat on the beach and played for a long time.

Lin Yi also specifically instructed Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru to have nearby bars send over some drinks.

The students enjoyed such good treatment and one after another began to follow Lin Yi's lead.

"I never expected we would be alumni with the Chairman of Zuimeng Group; it's such an honor."

"President Lin, honestly, I wonder if I might have the honor of working at your company after graduation?"

"Your intentions are too obvious! President Lin, I'm different from them; if I can just take a photo with you and post it on WeChat Moments, that's enough for me to show off!"

"I never expected such a tycoon to be right beside us."

"President Lin, we were blind before and didn't recognize your greatness; please don't take it to heart!"

Facing the students' apologies and flattery, Lin Yi just laughed it off.

He hadn't taken these trivial matters to heart in the first place.

He only realized now that once a person has a certain level of financial strength and social status, facing such mockery or misunderstandings from passersby doesn't cause any ripples in their heart.

No wonder those big shots always looked so composed before.

Now, Lin Yi has truly experienced it firsthand.

...

The lively atmosphere continued until past 11 PM, when the students finally dispersed and returned to the hotel one after another.

Lin Yi took off his clothes and was just about to shower and sleep when a knock on the door rang out at an inappropriate time.

"Who is it again..."

"Why are so many people coming to find me today..."

Putting on his clothes, Lin Yi sighed and went to open the door.

He saw Hu Yue standing at the door with an uneasy look on her face.

"Lin Yi, it's bad!"

"Xinxin... Liang Yuexin... has disappeared!"

Lin Yi's sleepiness immediately vanished.

"What happened?"

Hu Yue was extremely anxious, her voice tinged with tears.

"After Xinxin ran off in a huff during the bonfire party, she sent me a message."

"She said she wanted to be alone for a while."

"I originally thought she had come back to the hotel first."

"But after I came back just now, I realized she wasn't in the room at all."

"I even specifically asked the hotel front desk, and they said they hadn't seen her return."

"Now, I can't get through to her phone either; it says it's out of service area or turned off."

"I'm worried... I'm worried that something might have happened to her!"

Lin Yi also became worried.

After all, Zuimeng Island is an island surrounded by the sea.

And it's nighttime now.

Visibility in many places on the island is not high.

Liang Yuexin is unfamiliar with this place; what if she takes a wrong step and gets hurt, or falls into the sea...

"Damn it... why does everyone keep causing trouble for me..."

Lin Yi rubbed his temples.

Zuimeng Island has only just opened; such a thing must not happen...

"Hu Yue, you go back to your room and keep calling her."

"I'll go out and look for her."

"If you manage to contact her, tell her to immediately wait in a place with streetlights, or find a shop nearby to wait."

"Then send me the location, and I'll send someone to pick her up!"

Lin Yi hurriedly buttoned his clothes while dialing the phone number of Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru.

"Check the surveillance cameras and find someone for me!"

"A girl, about 1.68 meters tall, who was on the beach with us tonight and left early."

"Find out where she went."

Lin Yi ran quickly out of the hotel while on the phone.

Hu Yue watched Lin Yi's retreating figure, her hanging heart slightly relieved.

But she still held her phone tightly and prayed silently.

"Xinxin... you must not get into any trouble..."

...

...

Lin Yi ran to the beach and recalled the direction Liang Yuexin had left in.

Then he searched all along that direction.

Soon, Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru also sent over the results from checking the surveillance.

"Boss, the last place that girl appeared was at the junction of the beach area and the primitive forest area..."

"And judging by the direction she was moving... she was walking into the primitive forest area..."

"The terrain in the primitive forest area is poor, and it's impossible to install surveillance cameras, so there are no cameras inside."

"Even the signal is very poor."

"Zuimeng Island has a total of five areas; the four surrounding areas were artificially created later, while the primitive forest area in the middle is the original state of this deserted island."

"Because it's difficult to renovate, we had to preserve its original appearance."

"The terrain inside is complex and intricate, with cliffs, underground rivers, and large areas that haven't been developed."

"There are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

"If that girl really ran into the primitive forest area..."

"I'm afraid... she will be in danger..."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi cursed Liang Yuexin's love-struck brain a thousand times in his heart.

"She really knows how to cause trouble for me..."

"Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru, I'm heading over now; you also arrange some manpower to help search."

"Remember, you must be careful!"
