Chapter 748: Chapter 459: This clever one is outsmarted by his own intelligence! _2

That way, after waking up, I would have a chance to find Sean Knight and thank him, wouldn’t that be a good way to establish some connections?

But I didn’t expect that Sean would just leave me here like this and simply check out.

What does that mean?

Did I expose myself, or are they too cautious?

Fortunately, I have a backup plan.

Ignoring the bewildered look of the waiter who entered, Beckett Drake stood up and took his belongings with him.

After reaching the Port Service Area, he rented an electric vehicle and quickly drove away.

On the road, he took out an earphone from his bag and put it on with one hand, waiting to hear the sound from it.

But the sound he expected never came through; instead, there were a lot of noises in his ears.

What’s going on? Is there a problem with the eavesdropping device?

He could already see Sean’s car not far away, so Beckett slowed down, fearing suspicion.

Indeed, he had secretly attached an eavesdropping device to Elijah Hastings’ body when pouring drinks for Sean and his friends.

The reason he didn’t stick it on Sean directly was that Sean seemed too cautious.

In addition, Sean was protected by others and obviously the most noticeable target.

So, the eavesdropping device would be the easiest to be discovered.

But why is there no sound now?

At this moment, they had already removed the eavesdropping device from Elijah on the car.

However, none of them spoke, and Lincoln Harrington turned on the car’s radio, playing only the sound of static.

Sean took the eavesdropping device, pinched it gently, and easily crushed it.

Meanwhile, Beckett’s earphone let out a loud noise, and then there was no sound at all.

He didn’t know what had happened, as he didn’t hear anything.

Looking at the car ahead, he hesitated: should he follow or not?

At this point, Sean finally spoke:

"This device was planted by that Beckett Drake. He had ulterior motives when he invited us to dinner."

"Boss, has he already figured out your identity?" Douglas Cooper, who was quick-witted, immediately asked.

"I guess so." Sean nodded, "Didn’t you notice at the dinner table, he kept directing the topic to the deceased, trying to see if we knew the specifics or not."

"So, what should we do?" Elijah turned his head to look back and sneered:

"Does he still dare to follow? Should we just capture him directly?"

"Not so fast." Sean looked at the oncoming car and said:

"Capturing him now would be too obvious and could easily cause misunderstandings among the tourists. Let’s head to the Living Area. If he continues following us, we can deal with him then. If not, we’ll take action tonight."

Seeing that Sean had decided to capture the man, the others didn’t say anything more.

They were going to capture him either way. They’d figure out what to do after that.

So the matter was settled.

So Lincoln drove the electric motor car casually towards the Living Area.

As they were about to reach the Living Area, Beckett’s car turned into the Service Area when they passed by.

Noting the location of the Service Area, Sean and his companions went straight to the Living Area.

Back in the Living Area, Elijah and the others unloaded Sean’s purchases, such as hawksbill and tridacna, into the villa and then discussed the action plan.

Sean told Elijah:

"Go tell Miss Brown so she can investigate Beckett’s specific information, as well as his location."

Elijah nodded to show he understood.

Sean went into the villa, put away the hawksbill and tridacna, and took out the red coral.

It was obvious that the red coral had been simply cleaned after being salvaged from the sea, and the impurities on it were gone.

The large coral pieces were basically taken directly from the coral reef, with limestone still at the base.

The smaller coral branches were probably taken from the larger ones, with the red color visible at the broken ends.

Sean thought about it and placed the corals in different categories.

He thought of the girl named Xi Yi.

Taking out his mobile phone, he found that Xi Yi had also sent him a message.

"What’s your name? Why do you want my address?"

"Thank you for the reminder," Sean thought for a moment and replied, "If I go back to my country, I’ll send you a gift."

"No need. Reminding you is the least I could do. By the way, where are you staying now? We’re having a bonfire party tonight, can you come?

We are planning to go fishing tomorrow morning. I heard that you can pick up a lot of nice stuff here!"

From the tone of the text, Sean could feel the girl’s mood. After thinking for a moment, he replied:

"No, you guys go. I still have some affairs to take care of. Be careful when fishing—best to go in a group, and don’t get too close to the sea. If you encounter something unfamiliar, try not to touch it with your hands."

Xi Yi sent a gloomy expression and Sean didn’t reply.

Sitting in the Dining Hall, Xi Yi didn’t see Sean’s reply for a long time and became a little unhappy.

However, as a young girl, her mood was soon influenced by other people’s conversations.

Lana Brown had returned and, seeing Sean, happily sat down next to him after changing her clothes, asking:

"How did you like today’s outing?"

"Not great." Sean shook his head and said:

"Our island is rather big and has abundant resources. Given the number of tourists we have now, our security forces on land are basically sufficient, but we have almost nothing in the Sea."
