Chapter 1942: You Are An Important Bargaining Chip
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qiu Yuluo’s knocking got Lin Yi’s response.
The salty sea breeze blew past her face, making her shudder unconsciously.
An unknown mission was about to begin. Neither of them knew what they were going to face next.
To them, everything was unknown.
Life and death might change in an instant.
The roar of the cruise ship grew louder and louder, deafening them all.
Behind the thin fog, a huge black shadow appeared.
It was as if a monster had torn apart the curtain of the night and descended from an unknown void to this world.
Slowly, the cruise ship stopped in the distance.
Qiu Yuluo took a deep breath and muttered to herself,
“Hold on tight. Let’s get ready to move.”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Hearing the knocking sound, Qiu Yuluo started to adjust the angle of the speedboat and approached the cruise ship.
At the same time, a huge searchlight was aimed at Qiu Yuluo’s speedboat.
There was also a long ladder that descended from the ship.
Qiu Yuluo tugged at the rope. After confirming that there was no problem, she said,
“I’ll try to get as much information as I can. You have to hold on.”
A knocking sound came from under the boat. It was Lin Yi’s response.
Everything was ready. Qiu Yuluo began to climb up.
As for Lin Yi, who was hiding under the boat, Qiu Yuluo didn’t bother about him anymore.
At this point, many things had to be accomplished by tacit understanding.
She believed that he could handle that part of the mission himself.
Ten minutes later, Qiu Yuluo climbed onto the deck.
It was late at night, and there were no tourists on the deck. Qiu Yuluo saw six people standing beside her, but all of them seemed to be of a high level.
“You must be Miss Qiu.”
The person who spoke wore black sunglasses and had short hair.
Although he had a Terran face, he wasn’t a Huaxian because his Huaxian language skills were unusual. He seemed to be from Rania.
“That’s me.”
“Ms. Qiu, we need to check your phone. I hope you’ll cooperate.”
“Check my phone?”
“Yeah, that’s what we do.”
Qiu Yuluo did not say anything else. This request was within her expectations.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yuluo took out her phone and handed it to the man in sunglasses.
Unexpectedly, the man in sunglasses did not confiscate Qiu Yuluo’s phone.
He only turned off her phone and took out a suction film about three centimeters in diameter from his pocket, sticking it to the phone.
“That’s it?”
“We treat you as a guest and do this on an equal footing, so we won’t confiscate your phone.”
“Okay.”
Qiu Yuluo nodded and put her phone back into her pocket.
The man in sunglasses gestured for them to enter. The six of them surrounded her and walked into the cabin.
Facing the scene before her, Qiu Yuluo was very surprised that it had gone so smoothly.
Other than that, she also discovered a small detail.
After seeing her, other than checking her phone, the man in sunglasses didn’t check her identity.
This was a very suspicious point. Lin Yi might have guessed correctly.
They had radar on their ship and had locked onto their position in advance.
Whoosh!
These guys in front of him seemed to be even more difficult to deal with than the Black Gold Corporation they had dealt with previously.
At the same time, there were more than ten people scattered throughout the luxurious guest rooms on the top floor of the cruise ship.
Meanwhile, Ji Qingyan was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Surprisingly, Ji Qingyan was not bound, nor did anyone restrict her freedom.
It was as if they were on a normal cruise ship.
On the other side was a man in his fifties sat in an armchair. He wore a simple casual outfit as he sat there without saying a word.
However, the middle-aged man did not reveal his face. Instead, he wore a mask that covered most of his face.
The man’s name was Chen Canrong, and he was the assistant of Hongmen’s president, Fang Dezong.
However, this operation was not led by Chen Canrong, but by Fang Dezong’s son, Fang Shihong.
In front of Chen Canrong was a laptop.
On it was an image of a radar that was constantly scanning the surroundings.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, the phone on the table rang.
Looking at the phone number, Chen Canrong gave his subordinate a look, and his subordinate picked up the phone.
“Target is aboard.”
“She’s alone, I guess.”
Chen Canrong held his head with one hand and spoke calmly without taking his eyes off the computer screen.
“Yes, it’s a woman. She seems to be the leader of Team 1 of the Central Guards Brigade.”
“Alright, I understand.”
After Chen Canrong finished speaking, the subordinate standing at the side hung up the phone.
Qiu Yuluo!
Hearing this name, Ji Qingyan’s heartbeat quickened.
When she went to Yanjing, she had heard this person’s name.
She was Lin Yi’s colleague!
And just like Lin Yi, she had a unique identity!
But why was this matter related to her?
All of a sudden, she seemed to have thought of something.
The night before, Qin Han called Lin Yi. He said that he had a mission and couldn’t expose his identity for the time being. He said that they might all be implicated.
Did something like this happen because she insisted on meeting him?
It was terrifying to think about it.
Ji Qingyan’s body trembled. She felt that her willfulness had ruined many things.
“The Central Guards Brigade is indeed trustworthy. It will be much easier to make deals with such people.”
“I think the Central Guards Brigade should have already guessed the seriousness of this matter. They naturally won’t dare to act rashly,” a black man said.
The black man’s name was Harris. He was an expert nurtured by Hongmen and his level had reached C-class.
On this cruise ship, there were four more people like Harris. Although their strength was still a little lacking, they were all C-class.
Such combat strength was considered top-notch even in the Central Guards Brigade.
“Let’s go. Follow me to take a look,” Chen Canrong said. “I hope they won’t cause any trouble.”
“Who are you? What are you doing?!”
Just as Chen Canrong was about to leave with his men, Ji Qingyan suddenly spoke up.
“Someone took our stuff. I’m going to get it back. You’re just a bargaining chip in our deal.”
Chen Canrong spoke to Ji Qingyan unhurriedly like an old gentleman.
“But why did you kidnap me? Or do you think that with my identity, I’m enough to be a bargaining chip for this transaction?”
“Of course, you’re the most perfect chip for us.” Chen Canrong shrugged and said.
“Your man died in Panem while on a mission. As his family member, you would naturally receive special treatment from the Central Guards Brigade. In order to save you, they will definitely send someone over. Our plan has succeeded. They have indeed sent someone over.”
