“What are they talking about?”
Xue An’s face wore a smile, but he lowered his voice to ask his deputy commander, Liu Jing, who was proficient in lip-reading.
Liu Jing’s expression was strange: “They’re still talking about how they want us to pay them money.”
As soon as they mentioned this, the two couldn’t help but tense up.

Just now, Wang Chong’s friend, Sun Haoran, had proactively approached them and said something that left them stunned – his friend claimed that he could get one hundred million yuan from them without lifting a finger.
They never thought they would encounter Wang Chong’s circle in such an absurd way before they even boarded the ship.
“Sun Haoran said that the person’s surname is ‘Zhu.’ Do you know him?”
“I don’t know him; there’s no record of him in our intel.”
The person who made the bet was a young man they had never seen before in their investigation. At the moment, he was standing with his back to them, saying something to Wang Chong.
In their observation, the young man took out a piece of paper and pen, wrote something on it, and handed it to Sun Haoran.
Xue An saw this scene and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes: “Next time, we should get our people to investigate more thoroughly. Wang Chong’s social circle is clearly not just those few rich second-generation kids. This person is suspicious.”
“Do you notice the two black-masked bodyguards standing behind him?”
“Yeah, I noticed. That’s why I think he’s suspicious. Those two bodyguards aren’t ordinary; I can feel that they’re very strong.”
This was an instinct from their biological nature.

Xue An and Liu Jing, as seasoned commanders and deputy commanders, naturally could sense the two “bodyguards”‘ strength. The two bodyguards exuded an air of danger even when just standing there.
But that was all.
Before taking action, they could only judge that the two bodyguards were very strong, but they didn’t know to what extent.
The person being protected by such bodyguards was clearly not a small fry.
And the fact that the other party dared to make a bet with them felt quite off, too. Was it just a coincidence?
The two were now somewhat tense.
Sun Haoran returned with a folded piece of paper in his hand.
“When he came over, the difference was that he was holding a folded piece of paper.”
“Mr. Xue, Ms. Liu, I’m disturbing you again.”
“What’s going on? Is it about that bet again? Ha ha, don’t worry, we’re not stupid enough to give a stranger one hundred million yuan.”
Liu Jing also laughed: “We do have money, but we’re not that spendthrift.”
“That’s good.”
Sun Haoran was initially confident, and now, after hearing their response, he was even more delighted. He handed the paper to the couple.
“My friend said that as long as you see this note, you’ll be convinced and give him the money. Ha ha, I also think it’s impossible – you’re not that foolish.”
Upon hearing this, the two felt ridiculous.
Had they really encountered such an absurd situation just by being on the ship for less than a day?
The two followed Sun Haoran’s laughter and opened the paper.
“Ha ha ha, this indeed only a fool would…… ”
Their laughter stopped abruptly.
Xue An and Liu Jing’s smiles froze, their eyes fixed on the paper as if they had seen something incomprehensible.
“Um, what’s wrong with you two?”
Sun Haoran originally thought that Zhu Shi Jiu wouldn’t be able to swindle them with just a piece of paper, so he had been smiling confidently. However, when he saw the couple’s reaction, his confidence also stagnated.
“You, you’re not reading the writing correctly, are you? It’s a bit messy.”
Xue An explained casually, but his heart was already in turmoil!
What was going on?
This was what was written on the paper: “You have a name but no name, you know but don’t recognize…”
“Ha ha ha, it’s indeed philosophical. Can we talk to your friend for a bit? We have some philosophical questions to discuss…”
Sun Haoran felt even more uneasy.
“You two, are you…… ”
Xue An and Liu Jing exchanged a glance, their smiling faces hiding a deadly serious tone in their eyes.
“We thought about it carefully; one hundred million isn’t a big deal. Let’s just consider it a gift to make friends, ha ha ha…”
“Ha? You must be kidding me!”
Sun Haoran was stunned.
What was going on?
How did it suddenly turn into giving money?
“Don’t, wait, I think I said that if you don’t give him the money, I’ll personally transfer one million yuan to you.”
Xue An shook his head generously: “If we really cared about money, we wouldn’t be so nonchalant about this one hundred million.”
Sun Haoran tried to persuade them further, but the couple seemed to have been brainwashed, suddenly becoming stubborn and insisting on giving Zhu Shi Jiu one hundred million yuan.
Xue An asked: “Is there anything else he wrote besides this sentence?”
Sun Haoran replied in a daze: “No, just this sentence.”
“Good, we’ll give him the money, then. Let’s just consider it making friends.”
Xue An said while taking out his phone, snapping a photo of the paper, and sending it to their “daughters” via message.
“????”
Upon seeing the photo, Jing Jing sent several question marks in a row.
Xue An typed quickly and concisely: “We’ve been exposed! Quick, check this card number! Extremely urgent!!”
After a few seconds, Jing Jing’s response came without any questions or unnecessary words: “Okay, give me one minute.”
