“Fuck, he’s really strong!”
Soaked to the bone, Xue An climbed back onto the deck, cursing the Black Soldier before pressing the communication device to contact his teammates.
“Quiet, gentle, how’s it going on your end?”
“—Achoo!”
The sound of gentle’s sneeze came from the communication device.
Quiet’s calm voice responded, “We’ve also boarded the ship. It’s a pity that the captain didn’t die.”
Xue An’s face turned pitch black: “Do you think I’d sacrifice myself like in the movies to buy time? Don’t be ridiculous! When things can’t be done, I escape – that’s my life principle!”
Quiet remained silent for a moment before asking, “If you escape when things can’t be done, then why are you boarding the ship now?”
Xue An shook off the water on his body, squeezing out the excess water from his clothes. “Aren’t you guys doing the same?”
“We’re here to rescue the vice-captain.”
Xue An sneered, “Heh, can the two of you little girls do anything? I’m here to rescue her too. That woman may be troublesome, but she’s reliable when it comes to completing tasks. If she dies on this ship, I’ll lose a useful partner.”
Listening to the captain’s roundabout explanation, Quiet couldn’t help but coldly laugh.
“Cough.” Xue An changed the subject. “In any case, let’s find a place to regroup first. My clothes are all wet, and it’s uncomfortable. What’s your suggestion?”
Quiet thought for a moment before responding, “My suggestion is to go to that man’s place.”
That man, undoubtedly, referred to Zhushi Jiu.
Zhushi Jiu could accurately predict that the Black Soldiers would attack them tonight and possessed powerful information protection abilities. He could likely protect them from the Black Soldiers.
Their interests didn’t entirely align, but as the saying goes, “an enemy of an enemy is a friend.” In the face of the Black Troop Organization, Zhushi Jiu would become their “friend.”
Moreover, at the banquet, Zhushi Jiu had expressed his willingness to cooperate, choosing to conceal their identities despite already seeing through them. This demonstrated the greatest kindness of a stranger.
Xue An thought for a moment. “Alright, let’s do it.”
Quiet’s efficiency was high, and she said, “Although I was crushed in the online battle earlier, I still managed to collect a lot of useful information, such as the location of the room he’s in on this ship.”
Xue An randomly found a hiding spot on the deck, leaning against the wall as the cold night wind hit his body.
“If he’s sneaked onto the ship, then he shouldn’t have any accommodation information, right?”
“That’s correct.” Quiet replied, “But there’s surveillance. My AI crawler program searches the entire Jiang City network. As long as the surveillance is online, I can automatically identify everyone’s facial features through the crawler program and filter out the trajectories of the people we’re interested in.”
“Which room is it? Let’s hurry up and regroup, I’m freezing to death.”
Quiet advised, “Don’t be impatient. If we don’t have anything valuable to offer, why would he choose to protect us?”
“Huh…”
“Captain, you need to remember that we’re currently in a state of escape, equivalent to being the Black Soldiers’ defeated underlings! If we appear before him like this, would he protect us or treat us as burdens?”
“…But we do have information about him, don’t we?”
“Ah, Captain, are you planning to threaten him? First, we have no idea how strong his combat power is. What if our verbal threats don’t work, and he directly attacks us? We might not be able to take him down.”
“Second, we don’t need to resort to threats to seek cooperation. Can’t we just negotiate peacefully?”
Xue An immediately surrendered, “Alright, alright, you’re right, as usual, our team’s strategist!”
Quiet didn’t know what to say, seeing her captain’s casual attitude, but forcibly changed the topic: “In any case, I think we should summarize all the information we have about him and try to take the lead in the negotiations. Otherwise, we’ll be very passive.”
“So, what information did you find?”
Quiet said, “The surveillance data from yesterday on the ship was all deleted, but I managed to find backup data from today’s surveillance.”
“This is normal, given his level of information protection. It wouldn’t be surprising if he didn’t do this.”
Xue An wasn’t surprised, but rather delighted. The stronger the other party was, the stronger their future ally would be.
“I found a related clip in today’s surveillance backup, including scenes of him eating with Ji Hui, Qian Ze Le, and Ma Qun Bo, as well as exercising and chatting with them on the deck.”
Xue An thought for a moment before saying, “This is barely normal, proving that he has the qualifications to interact with those rich kids on an equal footing, and has already infiltrated their inner circle within a short day. This guy’s abilities are impressive.”
“…Not only that, but I also saw that Wang Chong and those rich kids basically revolved around him, treating him as the central figure!”
Xue An was stunned, “Awesome, how did he do it?”
“Furthermore, what I find even more incredible is that he somehow got Ji Hui, Qian Ze Le, and Ma Qun Bo to transfer a total of 9 million yuan to him within a short period, and Sun Hao Ran even transferred 1 million yuan to him! His bank balance increased from a three-digit number to an eight-digit number within ten minutes.”
“……”
Xue An was left speechless.
He couldn’t say “this is normal” anymore. The other party’s abilities had exceeded his imagination. At the very least, he couldn’t fathom how they had managed to acquire funding so quickly.
No wonder they enjoyed such high-level information protection – their abilities were worthy of such treatment.
“Fuck!” Xue An suddenly thought of something.
He whispered, his expression turning ugly. “According to his words, Wang Chong should be an external member of the Black Troop Organization, which means……”
“Don’t think too much.”
Quiet denied.
“If he’s from the Black Troop Organization, why would he choose to cooperate with us? Remember how the Black Troop Organization has treated us in our previous encounters.”
Xue An finally let out a sigh of relief. “That’s right, the Black Troop Organization has always been brutal, killing anyone in their way. They wouldn’t set traps for us like this.”
“Besides, if you think being friends with Wang Chong means being part of the Black Troop Organization, then doesn’t that imply his other friends are also suspicious?”
“……That’s true.”
“I also noticed that his body doesn’t seem like a normal person’s body.”
“What do you mean?”
“I saw him exercising in the gym, doing 20km/h on the treadmill for 15 minutes, and repeating it ten times! A normal person wouldn’t have such endurance.”
