Chapter 615: Chapter 634 I’m Suffocating

"Hello!" Li Yifei greeted Lin Wanqing as she approached.

With an easy grace, Lin Wanqing said, "Hello, long time no see."

Li Yifei winked at Zheng Mingrui and smiled, "Yeah, but I really didn’t expect to see you with Mingrui this time."

Zheng Mingrui immediately gave an awkward laugh, while Lin Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Mingrui mentioned there was a ferry here, so I followed him to have a look. I had nothing else going on these past few days, and it’s not bad to hang out with such a bodyguard, right?"

At that moment, Xu Yingying walked up to Li Yifei, who quickly said, "Mingrui, let me introduce you, this is your sister-in-law Xu Yingying."

Zheng Mingrui had been paying attention to Xu Yingying ever since she walked over, and now excitedly said, "Sister-in-law, hello. I’m Yifei’s good brother. Heh, it’s my first time meeting you, and I didn’t bring a gift, I’m really embarrassed." Zheng Mingrui hadn’t expected to encounter Li Yifei on the cruise, nor had he expected to meet Li Yifei’s wife here, so he hadn’t prepared a gift like he had the last time.

Xu Yingying graciously shook hands with Zheng Mingrui, saying, "Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Grinning, Zheng Mingrui said, "Sister-in-law, you’re really beautiful. Our boss is indeed fortunate."

Xu Yingying let out a light laugh, "Your girlfriend is also very beautiful."

Zheng Mingrui glanced at Lin Wanqing, feeling suddenly sheepish, while Lin Wanqing smiled and said, "We’re not in that kind of relationship yet."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei felt reassured. Lin Wanqing may not be Zheng Mingrui’s girlfriend yet, but it was clear she harbored some affection for him, otherwise, she wouldn’t have said that.

Xu Yingying and Lin Wanqing also introduced themselves to each other, and Lin Wanqing laughed, "Now that’s settled, I have company, so I won’t need you to accompany me."

Zheng Mingrui giggled, "Alright, then please, Sister Yingying, take good care of Wanqing for me."

Zheng Mingrui took a couple of steps away with Li Yifei and winked at him, whispering, "Boss, she’s the real deal, isn’t she?"

Li Yifei nodded, "Absolutely the real deal."

"That’s good to hear. I was afraid of making another mistake. Eh, why are there so many beautiful women?" Zheng Mingrui glanced over at Xu Yingying and noticed three girls standing with her, all greeting Lin Wanqing.

Li Yifei laughed, "Those are friends of Yingying and me."

"Oh, all these beautiful girlfriends... I have to say, boss, sister-in-law is really trusting."

Li Yifei didn’t want to dwell on the topic and shifted the conversation, "Just be extra alert. I’m worried someone here might take an interest."

The mention of security concerns sobered Zheng Mingrui up instantly, "I’ve felt it too. Holding an event like this in such a place is truly dangerous. I don’t know what the organizers were thinking."

"Hopefully, nothing of the sort happens. I’m here on vacation, and I just want to enjoy a couple of relaxed days."

"Same here, damn it. If anyone ruins my beautiful vacation, I’ll make sure to take care of them."

The two didn’t say much more. As the most formidable members of the Flying Hawk Squad, their coordination was impeccable. They didn’t need to spell out their actions; they would know how to work together when the time came.

Zheng Mingrui laughed, "Let’s go, and introduce me to those friends of you and sister-in-law."

Approaching the group, Li Yifei introduced each one to Zheng Mingrui. Introducing Michelle and He Fangqing was one thing, but as soon as Su Mengxin was mentioned, Zheng Mingrui’s eyes narrowed a bit, and a look of extreme surprise flashed across his face.

The people here couldn’t recognize Su Mengxin with her makeup on, but Zheng Mingrui had excellent eyesight. Even though he hadn’t experienced the kind of thrilling events with Su Mengxin like Li Yifei had, he had seen her several times during missions. As a man, he couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at such a beauty like Su Mengxin, so his impression of her was quite strong. Plus, with Li Yifei mentioning her name, he instantly recognized her as Huaxia’s number one beauty.

However, he didn’t show any overt reaction. Since Su Mengxin had disguised herself, she obviously didn’t want to be recognized, and he wasn’t foolish enough to give her away.

Lin Wanqing had seen Su Mengxin a few times but had never interacted with her, so she didn’t recognize Su Mengxin as the famously renowned figure in Capital City and across Huaxia.

After chatting briefly, Zheng Mingrui and Li Yifei walked to a display and spoke in hushed tones, "Boss, why is she here?"

"She has a company in Mile City, and I work at her company. She happened to be in Mile City these days."

"Oh, so she has started a company in Mile City, spreading her business everywhere. Good thing she’s wearing makeup. Otherwise, just her presence would catch more attention than those valuable antiques."

"Indeed, that’s true."

At that moment, Li Yifei’s phone started to ring. He answered the call and said, "Shanshan, what’s up?"

"Brother-in-law, you’re also coming over? We rushed here to see the performance; it’s incredibly exciting,"

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Alright, I’ll let your sister know."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei smiled, "Let’s go, we’ll go watch the performance."

"Boss, who else is there?"

"Quite a few people, your sister-in-law’s twin sister, the flight attendant you saw the other day, and also my daughter."

"Your daughter? Heh heh, boss, you’ve brought your daughter back."

"Yeah, I’ve brought her back."

"What about Ning Xin’er?" Zheng Mingrui winked at Li Yifei.

"She’s given the child to me; she’s no longer in a position to take care of the kid."

"So Sister-in-law didn’t get mad at you?"

"No, she didn’t."

Zheng Mingrui gave Li Yifei a thumbs up and said, "Boss! You amaze me. Suddenly there’s a child from nowhere, and Sister-in-law not only doesn’t mind but also helps you raise her, incredible, incredible."

Li Yifei smiled proudly, "That’s right, your sister-in-law is so virtuous."

Everyone arrived at the performance hall together and quickly found Xu Shanshan and the rest, but it wasn’t convenient to introduce everyone right there, so they just focused on the show first.

The show was thrilling, with magic acts and acrobatics, especially the acrobats who were all extremely skillful, providing both excitement and thrills, making the audience thoroughly enjoy the spectacle.

What made the deepest impression on Li Yifei was one of the Western acrobatic acts that was all about showcasing strength. A tall and burly Caucasian man stood in place while people climbed on top of him, playing ’human stacking’. In the end, there were twenty people on top of him.

These twenty people were all Westerners, none of them particularly small. Each person weighed at least sixty to seventy kilograms, so in total, that’s over a thousand kilograms, or more than a ton. With more than a ton of weight on him, he was still able to walk with the people on top, which required immense strength.

Besides that man at the bottom, the two people on the second layer also possessed great strength because, after all, there were still seventeen people above them. Even if the weight was evenly distributed between the two, they would each be bearing around five to six hundred kilograms.

There was also an acrobatic act involving throwing knives, performed by a woman in her twenties with blonde hair. Her knife-throwing skills were simply miraculous, hitting her mark from ten meters away without the slightest deviation.

There was even a person tied to a spinning wheel, and as the wheel spun, the woman threw knives one after the other. She didn’t hurt the person, but instead, the knives landed all around the body, outlining it. When they took the person down, the pattern formed by the knives resembled almost a human figure.

Li Yifei and Zheng Mingrui were sitting together, and after watching the woman’s knife-throwing act, they exchanged glances and shook their heads. They both dabbled in knife-throwing and were quite accurate, but achieving what the woman did seemed beyond them.

If this woman were a criminal, the danger she would pose was substantial. The knives weren’t just for show—if used to kill, they would be no less lethal than firearms. And on this cruise ship, where firearms were prohibited, this woman seemed even more dangerous.

The hour-long show ended quickly, and Li Yifei and his group left the theater. Chu Xiaoyao and the others were still excitedly discussing the performance.

"Oh, Brother Zheng, when did you get here?" Meng Xiaofei noticed Zheng Mingrui just then and excitedly came over to greet him.

"Xiaofei, hey, so you’re here too?" Zheng Mingrui was also impressed by the buxom flight attendant and greeted her with a warm smile.

Meng Xiaofei chuckled, "Yeah, Brother Li brought me here for fun. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to afford to come to such a fancy cruise ship. Haha, have you met Sister Yingying? This time I finally don’t need to hide it anymore."

Xu Yingying asked, puzzled, "Hide what?"

Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue, realizing she had spoken out of turn again. Li Yifei then smiled and said, "Last time Mingrui and the others came to Mile City, I went out with them to take care of some business. Just then, we bumped into Xiaofei; I asked her not to tell you that I went out with Mingrui and the others."

Meng Xiaofei nodded repeatedly and let out a relieved sigh, appearing as if a weight had been lifted, "Yeah, yeah, it almost killed me to keep it to myself so long without letting it slip."

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a reproachful look, then said to Meng Xiaofei, "Xiaofei, if there’s something like this again in the future, and you help Brother Li keep it from me, then I won’t let you come over to my place for dinner anymore."

Meng Xiaofei stuck out her tongue again, looked towards Li Yifei, and said, "Can you two not put me in a tough spot? One tells me to speak, the other tells me not to. Oh Buddha bless, I hope I never have to keep such suffocating secrets again."

The group burst into laughter at Meng Xiaofei’s antics.
