Chapter 406: Chapter 26 Arriving at Dream Island

Under the watchful eyes of over a dozen security guards, Gu Xiaoxi slept peacefully through the night.

The next morning, when she woke up, the two assassins she had captured had also come to.

After a round of interrogation by Ai Xiang, nothing was revealed. The other party only followed orders, knowing nothing about the mastermind.

Gu Xiaoxi had already expected such an outcome, and was too lazy to attend the interrogation.

In the end, Ai Xiang could only hand over the two assassins to the police of Dream Island.

Gu Xiaoxi stayed in her room and continued to sleep.

When she woke up, it was already noon, by which time they had reached the boundary of Dream Island.

Standing on the gangway, Gu Xiaoxi stretched and looked out at the azure sea water in front of her, unable to help but laugh and say, "The water here really is excellent."

In Golden City, it wasn’t just Gold that was abundant, but also the beautiful environment and the unique architecture in the world.

Soon, Gu Xiaoxi saw ten towering skyscrapers rising from the sea.

Under the sunlight, the sparkling glass shimmered with light, standing in the water like Diamonds, presenting an immense visual feast.

Behind the skyscrapers, there was an island of enormous size.

The island was home to a population of twenty million, with every building spaciously and neatly planned. There was not a speck of garbage to be seen on the streets, and even the houses alongside the streets were immaculately clean.

The most famous feature of Dream Island, of course, was the underwater hotel.

It was those ten skyscrapers that Gu Xiaoxi saw, all built from foundations laid under the water, then rising up from hundreds of meters in the deep sea.

The sheer scale of the engineering was indeed admirable.

"I’ve already booked the hotel. But for temporary safety, I think we should book a temporary one as well. Let’s not stay at the one we reserved before," Ai Xiang instructed from behind her.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, her face relaxed with an easy smile.

Ai Xiang looked at her speechlessly, knowing that someone wanted to kill her, she was probably the calmest person in the whole world.

Just as the boat was about to dock, a murder occurred on board, leaving everyone feeling greatly disturbed.

"I heard that this morning, someone saw a young girl dead in the restroom."

"No, it’s said to be an assassin. Serves her right for dying, who knows what unspeakable purpose she had for coming on board."

On hearing this, Ai Xiang instinctively thought of Mu Feiyan and immediately rushed to the scene to take a look.

Without a doubt, it was indeed Mu Feiyan.

Ai Xiang suddenly felt a heavy weight on her heart. Could it be because she had confessed about the assassination last night, breaking the organization’s rules, and was killed by her own organization?

However, Mu Feiyan’s death made her wonder if there was an even more formidable assassin on board, just as Gu Xiaoxi had speculated; they were indeed being followed.

And they had been tracked all the way.

As they were about to disembark, Ai Xiang stayed close to Gu Xiaoxi and whispered into her ear, "Be careful. The assassin who died this morning had come to me last night. She was the one who told me someone had put a two-hundred-million price on your life. She’s dead this morning, don’t you find that strange?"

"It seems that the person following us all this way is no simple character," Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, her gaze no longer indifferent but instead deep and cold. Those who wanted her dead would have to see if they really had what it takes.

The temporarily booked hotel was on a floor above the twentieth, naturally lacking the novel and special experience of the underwater hotel.

However, Gu Xiaoxi was here on business, not for enjoyment, so naturally, she didn’t care too much about that.

After arriving at the hotel, she and Ai Xiang immediately assessed the security of the place.

Once they confirmed there were no hidden dangers, Gu Xiaoxi quickly took out her computer and put it into her backpack.

As a hacking expert, she naturally had to hack into the auction scene first to look for evidence about the Jade Watermelon.

This was also the purpose of her trip.

No matter who it was, anyone who harmed her people or her possessions would have to pay the price.

Outside the black market auction venue on Dream Island, although it wasn’t yet time to officially start auctioning off the priceless treasures, they would auction off some rare and precious items brought by tourists in advance.

At the hotel, Ai Xiang had already disguised Gu Xiaoxi.

Afterward, the two of them arrived at the outskirts of the black market together.

Though referred to as a black market, it was more luxurious than the formal International Trade Tower in City A.

It had everything one could want for leisure and entertainment.

"I’ve inquired, the auction house is on the seventeenth floor," Ai Xiang explained, looking at the skyscraper in front of them.

"Then let’s find a coffee shop to sit for a bit," Gu Xiaoxi said, carrying a backpack with her computer inside.

She needed to locate the precise ID, so it was crucial to find the exact location of the auction house; the closer she was, the easier it would be to control the intrusion.

In the café, Ai Xiang ordered two cups of coffee and sat by herself.

Gu Xiaoxi had already snuck over to the restroom, sitting on the toilet, taking out her computer, and preparing to first probe the surveillance and main host computers on the seventeenth floor.

*

At the same time, on the 27th floor of the hotel where Gu Xiaoxi was staying.

A group of people were also residing there.

A man stood in front of the window, overlooking the glittering sea in the afternoon, his voice as cold as ice, "They’ve gone to the black market?"

"Yes, and the woman has disguised herself," a subordinate immediately reported respectfully.

Clasping his fingers tightly, the man chuckled coldly, "I didn’t expect that she would be so difficult to deal with."

After his words fell, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Keep following them, and report back immediately if anything happens," the man said with an indifferent tone.

"Yes, boss!" the subordinate replied respectfully and quickly withdrew.

The man, with his arms crossed and standing at the window ledge, had a silhouette that grew increasingly cold and grim.
