At the entrance, four young Chinese men and women were also crowded among the people. Looking at the sealed entrance, their originally happy moods were instantly ruined.
The four youths, two males and two females, all appeared very young, looking like students. If Zhang Fan saw them, he might be very surprised.
Because among these four people was his cousin Zhao Qingqing.
"Senior sister, what do we do now? We can only complete our assignment by going to Cape Eusby, but it's blocked now. We should have come to Cape Eusby on the first day if we had known." a man in beach shorts said with a sad face.
"What else can we do but wait? If we can't go to Cape Eusby, you won't be able to complete your final assignment this semester."
"If we don't wait, are you prepared to fail?" On the side, a woman in a blue long dress could only shake her head.
"But we have to go back home in two days. Looking at this situation, I'm afraid this blockade won't be a matter of one or two days." the man in beach shorts said again.
"I just inquired. I heard that this entrance was blocked by an Italian underground organization, and they will be holding a world-class underground organization conference here. It's likely to last for a considerable time, and we probably can't wait that long." A man in white casual pants added, his words filled with helplessness. 138 Reading Network
Zhao Qingqing stood aside, listening to their conversation. Her pretty little face furrowed tighter. She had come with great anticipation, but was she going to return disappointed?
"Let's go back to the hotel and wait. If it's still not open tomorrow, we'll fly back home the day after." The senior sister in the blue long dress could only make this decision in the face of the situation.
Everyone nodded. Although they were reluctant, they could only walk out of the crowd.
"Qingqing!"
As they walked out of the crowd, Zhao Qingqing seemed to hear someone calling her name. However, being slightly dejected, she paid no attention. How could she possibly know anyone in this foreign land? She thought she had misheard.
"Qingqing!" someone called out again. Zhao Qingqing looked up curiously, and her gaze followed the direction of the sound. She was instantly stunned.
"Zhang Fan, Yi Feicheng, Ye Jing, Guangtou Qiang, Lin Haotian..."
She never dreamed that on Elba Island, so far from China, she would see so many familiar faces.
"Brother Zhang Fan!" Her dejected mood vanished instantly. Zhao Qingqing threw her companions aside and ran excitedly in the direction of Zhang Fan and the others.
After greeting all her acquaintances, Zhao Qingqing asked with a look of joy on her delicate and pretty face, "Brother Zhang Fan, why did you all come to Elba Island..."
Halfway through her sentence, Zhao Qingqing suddenly remembered what her companions had said. Seeing Guangtou Qiang and the others, she seemed to understand and whispered, "Could it be that you're here to attend that underground organization gathering?"
"You're quite well-informed, little girl." Yi Feicheng said with a smile.
At this moment, Zhao Qingqing's other companions also walked over.
"Qingqing, are they your friends?" The senior sister in the blue long dress asked, looking at Zhang Fan and his group.
"Mm." Zhao Qingqing held Zhang Fan's arm and said happily, "This is my Brother Zhang Fan, and they are all Brother Zhang Fan's friends."
"This is our senior sister from the Fine Arts Academy, and the other two are my classmates."
Zhao Qingqing introduced them to everyone.
"Hello, my name is Li Qin. These two are my juniors, Yuan Qi and Yu Xiuyuan." Li Qin was not particularly beautiful, but her temperament was exceptionally outstanding, gentle and generous, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Li Qin introduced herself, but her gaze quickly swept over Zhang Fan's group, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Of the ten people in this group, there were only two women. One had a cool demeanor, with extremely delicate features, giving her an ethereal and transcendent aura.
The other, a Western woman, even made her, who had seen a lot, feel amazed. Even the most beautiful campus belle in their school couldn't compare to that Western woman.
And among the other eight men, there were a few whom she couldn't quite figure out. Even more puzzling to her was that Zhang Fan, who looked like a student, was about the same age as her, and his demeanor and appearance were not particularly outstanding.
Yet, it was such a young man who was implicitly the leader of this group.
"Mm." Zhang Fan nodded lightly, glanced at Li Qin and the others, and then withdrew his gaze, fixing it on Zhao Qingqing, who was hanging on his arm.
"Are you guys planning to go back?" Zhang Fan asked.
"We were supposed to go to Cape Eusby to sketch and complete our final assignment. We even brought a lot of drawing supplies, but the entrance was blocked."
"But it's fine now. With Brother Zhang Fan here, it should be no problem for you to take us a few people in, right?" Zhao Qingqing blinked at Zhang Fan.
"Mm, we were just planning to take a look. Let's go together then." Zhang Fan was also happy to see Zhao Qingqing.
After graduating from high school, Zhang Fan had been busy with his own affairs and rarely visited his aunt's family. Although Yan Qianghu and the others looked after them, Zhang Fan still felt a little ashamed.
Apart from his parents, his aunt's family was the closest relative Zhang Fan had. Even the Su family was far from comparable.
"Let's go. I've heard of Cape Eusby before, but this is my first time. I wonder if the scenery is as legendary as they say." Zhang Fan patted Zhao Qingqing's little head and said.
"Mm." Zhao Qingqing responded cheerfully. Then, she beckoned to Li Qin and the others and followed Zhang Fan's steps towards the entrance.
Li Qin exchanged glances with her two juniors, their eyes full of doubt. However, they were not familiar with Zhang Fan, so they didn't say much and could only follow.
Even if they couldn't get in, at most, it would have been a wasted trip. They had come all this way, so they didn't care about this short distance.
With the three subordinates brought by Yan Qianghu clearing the way, they easily reached the entrance despite the crowd.
Two Western men were guarding the entrance. They exuded powerful auras, and ordinary people could not get close. They were clearly two extraordinary individuals.
"Hongmen is here to attend the meeting!" Poyang walked at the front and presented an invitation letter.
"One invitation letter allows a maximum of ten people to enter." One of the tall and thin blond middle-aged men glanced at Zhang Fan's group and said.
Generally, only three people would truly participate in gang competitions. In addition, a respected elder would lead the team, and some young prodigies would be brought along to gain experience. Therefore, most participating gangs had about seven or eight people.
The quota restriction was also to prevent the venue from appearing cluttered.
Zhang Fan's group, who were exactly ten people, had Zhao Qingqing and her companions join them later, which clearly exceeded the limit.
Li Qin and the others were first startled to hear this. They had not expected this group of people to be from the legendary Hongmen. No wonder they dared to boast about bringing them in.
However, they felt a little embarrassed because the number of people exceeded the limit, and they were precisely the extra ones.
After hearing the blond man's words, everyone didn't care. Presenting the invitation letter was just to avoid trouble. If their group wanted to enter, who could stop them?
Yi Feicheng had come specifically to show off his strength. Upon hearing the blond man's words, he was about to make a move to subdue him.
At this moment, a voice came, startling him.
