Xue An smiled after a moment of stunned silence: “No need, thank you. We’re also on the 13th floor.”
Zhushi Jiu pretended to be surprised: “What a coincidence?”
To avoid misunderstandings, Xue An thought for a moment and explained: “It’s actually quite normal. You should be like us, just getting on the boat not long ago, right? When the inspectors handed out room cards, except for those who specifically booked rooms in advance, the other guests’ rooms were arranged in order, and the probability of being assigned to the same floor is still quite high on the 13th floor.”
Zhushi Jiu laughed after hearing Xue An’s explanation: “I really didn’t know that.”
Xue An didn’t think that his casual explanation would serve as a cover for Zhushi Jiu.
He was worried that they would be mistaken for following Zhushi Jiu, although the possibility was low, but it was still better to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Liu Jing smiled and chimed in from the side: “You’re making a big fuss about it. Why bring two bodyguards with you when going out?”
“Haha, it’s still better to be safe than sorry. My two bodyguards are retired soldiers, and they’re quite skilled.”
Retired soldiers? Liu Jing’s eyes showed a hint of disdain.
Zhushi Jiu interrupted their conversation, asking: “Are you people a family traveling together?”

“Yes, we’re a couple, both university professors who research social theories. We have plenty of free time, so we accepted the invitation to bring our family members for a trip.”
“Originally, that was the case.” Zhushi Jiu smiled.
The few of them didn’t chat much because the elevator arrived.
The elevator stopped at the 13th floor.
Each floor’s residential area was rectangular, with corridors leading to the left and right after exiting the elevator. The rooms were distributed on both sides of the corridors, with a total of 200 rooms.
After exiting the elevator, Zhushi Jiu slowed down slightly, walked to the left corridor, and walked towards the left.
Xue An and the others recalled the ship’s layout they had studied the day before. Coincidentally, their room was also on the left side.
So, everyone intentionally slowed down and followed Zhushi Jiu from behind.
During this time, Zhushi Jiu frequently looked back with suspicious eyes, always seeing Xue An’s awkward smile.
Jingxin secretly kicked Xue An’s foot: “Stop smiling so stiffly, Captain! He’s already paying attention to us!”
“What can I do? Who would have thought it would be so coincidental that he’s also living on the 13th floor, and his room is in the same direction as ours?”
Everyone was speechless.
To be honest, they didn’t want to attract attention so soon after boarding, but it was coincidental that this young man was also living on the 13th floor and had the same room direction.
Now that Zhushi Jiu had looked back several times, they were all feeling a bit awkward, as if they were following him.
Zhushi Jiu stopped in front of a room door, took out his room card, and deliberately looked back at Xue An’s stiff smile.
“You’re…?”
Zhushi Jiu’s face showed a clear warning sign.
Xue An looked up at Zhushi Jiu’s room number, took out his own room card, and compared it. After looking at Zhushi Jiu’s adjacent room, he was stunned.
After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: “What a coincidence, our rooms are right across from each other.”
Zhushi Jiu forced a laugh, and Xue An’s smile was stiff.

Who would have thought it would be so coincidental?!
If they didn’t know it was impossible for anyone to predict their room numbers in advance, they would almost think Zhushi Jiu was ambushing them!
But now, the problem wasn’t that they suspected this young man, but that this young man was suspecting them!
To prove their innocence, Xue An hurriedly took out the room card for room 13030, swiped it open, and opened the door to Zhushi Jiu’s adjacent room.
Zhushi Jiu let out a long sigh, jokingly saying: “What a coincidence! I almost thought you guys were following me.”
Xue An and the others stiffly smiled: “This is really a huge misunderstanding.”
Later, Zhushi Jiu also opened his own door, and Xue An confirmed that Zhushi Jiu was indeed living across from them. Both parties entered their respective rooms.
……
“I’m scared to death!” Xue An cursed as soon as he entered the room.
“Shh!”
Jingxin glared at Xue An, opened her laptop, and quickly launched the detection program. After searching for a while, she confirmed that there were no online monitoring devices in the room, and then sat down beside the sofa.
This program would continue to run while they were in the room. If any monitoring devices were online, the program would alert them and quickly lock onto the unknown network, automatically invading and deleting the data.
Liu Jing patted her chest, relieved: “This is also too coincidental. Jingjing, do you think there’s a problem?”
Jingxin didn’t even lift her head, continuing to type on the keyboard: “What kind of silly talk are you saying? Our actions were decided yesterday, the queue was random, and even taking the elevator was because the other party pressed the floor button first. How could they possibly have a problem? Maybe in that person’s eyes, we’re the ones with the problem.”
“That’s true.”
Everyone didn’t bother, treating it as a coincidence, although it was really quite coincidental.
“Captain, Vice Captain, don’t forget our mission this time. If possible, let’s not attract too much attention.”
Liu Jing nodded: “I know. It’s not like we’re searching for people who meet the organization’s standards on the ship. I know that.”
“At the same time, we must be cautious. Most elite talents have been recruited by that organization, and if we’re not careful, we might accidentally recruit the wrong person. We’re looking for those who haven’t been ‘blessed’ by the Black Troop Organization.”
Xue An couldn’t help but curse: “Damn! Do we have to always pick up the leftovers of the Black Troop Organization? Those crazy people are too overbearing!”
“Ahh, it’s not like this is a one-day or two-day thing. Get used to it.”
Get used to it? It’s not that easy!
Xue An had a worried expression, then suddenly remembered something: “By the way, what about that newcomer from two days ago?”
“You mean the one surnamed Wang?”
Fanjing Xian slightly furrowed her brows, her typing hands pausing.
“His computer skills are terrible. According to his statement, he was completely utilized as a pawn during the incident two days ago.”
“We got nothing but useless information, and the real information related to the people behind the scenes was all deleted by the Black Troop Organization.”
“I don’t understand why we let someone who only knows how to sell useless things on the internet join our organization. I think he doesn’t have the talent to become a top-notch hacker.”
Xue An thought for a moment, then defended the newcomer: “At least the stuff he sells is of high quality.”

“……”
The three women looked at Xue An with disdain, and Xue An awkwardly turned his head.
“It’s like we were all fooled by the Black Troop Organization. The person who used Wang Ruo as a pawn might be very strong, but Wang Ruo himself doesn’t have any valuable information, and is just a complete waste.”
“Ahh, let’s just make do with it.”
……
【Ahh, let’s just make do with it.】
Outside, in the corridor.
The Black Soldier quickly wrote down the line on paper.
After Xue An and the others entered their room and locked the door, Zhushi Jiu and the two Black Soldiers walked out and started eavesdropping.
They didn’t use any high-tech equipment for eavesdropping, but humans.
To be exact, it was a Black Soldier!
The Black Soldier’s entire body was like a large suction cup, sticking closely to the door, especially with their ears pressed tightly against the door, listening to all the conversations inside.
Black Soldiers represented the human physiological limit, including hearing. Any slight vibration in their ears was like being amplified several dozen times. Day-to-day training allowed Black Soldiers to have powerful and sensitive eardrums, with their brain’s sound processing region being further enhanced.
In other words, most soundproofing equipment in the world couldn’t block the Black Soldier’s hearing. As long as they were willing, they were biological eavesdropping devices.
At this moment, Zhushi Jiu looked at the conversation written on paper by the Black Soldier, falling into silence.
His gaze was fixed on a name.
——Wang Ruochen.
