Chapter 172: He Came to Country Z Again

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: He Came to Country Z Again

Feng Ye raised an eyebrow, he was quite eager to meet the Other Shore Flower, rumored to be a very beautiful woman.

The harvest of the Golden Web.

Even Charming Fox wasn’t as attractive as her, ranked number one in the assassin world.

"My safety depends on you. Double the price for Wuxin’s head," Mr. Zhai declared with full confidence, feeling absolutely secure with Other Shore Flower around.

Cang Leng glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "Reimburse the cost of the boat ticket."

Mr. Zhai was startled, his flamboyantly handsome face displaying surprise, "What?"

Cang Leng arched an eyebrow, paused, and then spoke, "For this mission, we spent 500,000 buying boat tickets. The boss said we should ask you for reimbursement."

"..."

There was a sudden awkwardness in the air.

Mr. Zhai hadn’t expected Other Shore Flower to be so miserly. This deal was worth at least 10 billion, yet here they were quibbling over 500,000 for boat tickets.

"Aren’t there four of you?" he raised an eyebrow, recalling that yesterday he had been told that besides the two of them, Other Shore Flower and Charming Fox were also coming.

"Cough cough, the boss said our strategist wanted to come for fun. If it weren’t for your mission, we wouldn’t be here, and neither would our strategist, so you should reimburse us all..."

"Mr. Zhai wouldn’t quibble with us over these 500,000, would he?" Cang Leng said nonchalantly after a long spiel.

Xiao Bai stealthily glanced at him, impressed by his nerve; what a dialogue he had concocted!

No wonder the boss made you the financial manager of Golden Web; your reasoning leaves no room for argument.

Feng Ye almost spat out the tea he was drinking because of his words.

Golden Web Other Shore Flower, truly a miser!

Having someone else come to ask for such a trivial amount of money!

Yet, when he thought about how their jobs under Golden Web’s orders were always marked up tenfold, he suddenly fell silent.

So she was a money-lover, regarding Master Chen as a major gold source!

Luckily, Master Chen was wealthy, otherwise, he would have turned his back long ago.

Xiao Chen gave Feng Ye a sidelong glance, his noble brows furrowing; no wonder he had been extorted for so much money.

Love of money.

"Mr. Zhai, that’s where you’re wrong. They came all this way to protect you, and you won’t even reimburse them for their boat tickets," Feng Ye teased, arching an eyebrow.

Mr. Zhai huffed, not wanting to lose face, and reached out his hand, "Here, if I survive, I’ll give 500,000 to each when I return. Pass that along to Other Shore Flower."

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhai," Cang Leng smiled, having earned an additional 450,000. The boss should commend him.

At 6:30, Beiyang began to set sail.

The entire cruise ship was 550 feet long; a commercial vessel designed for large auctions, capable of accommodating 250 people, highly practical.

The ship was exceptionally understated and luxurious, smoothly sailing across the sea.

This ship had five decks; the auction was going to be held on the third deck.

The entire ship was brightly lit, the multicolored neon lights beautifully reflecting off the sea surface.

On deck, all the figures coming and going were major players.

Dressed as waiters, she and Mo Fan moved effortlessly among the crowd, trays in hand.

Their sharp eyes captured every movement of all present.

Many harbored ulterior motives, but none were their targets.

Suddenly, all the lights on the yacht went out, leaving only one light, plunging the people on the deck into panic and unease.

"What happened, why did the lights go out all of a sudden?"

"I don’t know!"

"Everyone, stay where you are and don’t move, it’s an electrical issue, the backup circuit will kick in after one minute."

A voice from the announcement system reached everyone’s ears.

Yun Yue tapped the headset near her ear and whispered, "Xiao Bai, how are things on your side?"

Xiao Bai whispered back, "We’re still in the lounge, with a person named Master Chen. Zhai Quan seems quite familiar with him, and somewhat afraid and eager to please."

"That’s fine, just be careful with Xiao Chen, and absolutely don’t look into his eyes."

Xiao Bai, somewhat surprised, stole a glance at Xiao Chen, realizing he had guessed right.

"Okay."

Their headsets were all connected, and Cang Leng also heard Yun Yue’s words. He hadn’t expected him to be Xiao Chen, so they really needed to be cautious.

Two men hurried in next to Zhai Quan, their faces looking grim, "Mr. Zhai, two auction items are missing."

"Which two?" Zhai Quan’s face darkened, the auction items had already been announced, and missing any item would be problematic.

"The Blood Pearl and the Jade Pendant."

Of all things, the most valuable and rare items were missing, the thief really knew what to target!

"Blood Pearl?" Xiao Chen’s face turned cold, his voice frosty and his eyes slightly icy.

"Yes, that Blood Pearl is perfectly round, almost completely spherical! I’ve never seen such a perfectly round pearl before, and it’s blood-colored too," Zhai Quan said, somewhat excited.

He had been shocked himself when he saw the Blood Pearl and had intended to keep it, but then thought it was of no use so he had decided to auction it off.

A pair of sharp, cold, and deep black eyes stared at Zhai Quan, the voice chilling to the bone, "What are you standing around for, go and find it."

"Right away." Zhai Quan stood up, that gaze was truly terrifying. It was his items that were lost, why was he so anxious, and it’s not like he was using the Blood Pearl to gift to a girlfriend.

He had thought it was Wuxin starting to make a move, but it turned out the auction items were stolen.

Those auction items were stored in a password-protected box, very discretely, with five men guarding it, who could have the skills to steal them?

Xiao Bai and Cang Leng followed him.

"Is there surveillance?" Zhai Quan asked as they walked, the lights had already come back on, and from blackout to now was just the span of a minute, those five men were well-trained, how could they be overcome in just a minute.

"There is..." his subordinate behind him started, but it was too dark to see anything clearly except that the person was a rather tall man.

When they arrived at the scene, five men were lying on the ground.

Zhai Quan’s face turned even uglier, these five hadn’t been knocked out, they had been sedated, that’s why there was no disturbance.

A subordinate, taking a hint, woke the five men, who realizing something was wrong, immediately got up from the ground, their heads hung in fear, "Mr. Zhai."

"What happened?" His voice was cold and stiff as he stared at them.

The larger items in the safe were still there, only those two smaller, easier to carry items were gone. The thief was smart.

Master Chen attending his auction and such an incident occurring, his face had been sharp as ice earlier, he felt if he couldn’t recover those two missing items, he’d likely face his wrath.

Being stared at by his chilling, deep gaze made them feel rigid all over, one of them stammered, "We, we only know it was a person in black."

Zhai Quan’s face was ominously dark. Though this was at sea and the person couldn’t escape, there was still an hour left until the auction, this yacht had only his people and other guests, he hadn’t realized such a capable person was amongst them.

Xiao Bai looked over the crime scene, his expression subtly changed, the method was very familiar, it seemed like Pino’s usual style.

Had he come to the country again?
