C316 The Crisis of the Royal

The sea below midnight was shrouded in boundless darkness. Looking around, it was impossible to tell where the sky and the sea were. The only thing that could be seen was the dazzling lights that sparkled on the surface of the ship. Under the cover of the pitch black night, it was exceptionally beautiful.

This extremely luxurious cruise ship could be said to be a moving Nightless City. Even though it was the latter half of the night, the amusement district was still bustling with activity as figures flashed past. Most of the rooms in the lounge area were dark. Except for the people who slept, most of the visitors were concentrated in the entertainment area.

In the first class cabin, the guest room where Ye Cheng's group of three was located was completely silent. A depressing aura was being emitted from the air, and the three naked bodies on the large bed were entwined together.

"Click, click!" A faint sound suddenly came from the door, as if someone was unlocking it from the outside, or as if a rat was nibbling on the wood.

Ye Cheng, who was still in a half-asleep state, suddenly opened her eyes. She quietly pushed aside the white arms and beautiful legs that were pressing down on him, then turned around and vigilantly looked towards the door. Just as she sent Ning Xiang out of the room and locked the door, he purposely made a move on the door's lock.

Ever since he had met that scarred man, Ye Cheng had always felt that that guy had ill intentions. Furthermore, he had won more than 150 million in front of so many people, and there were many people who were jealous. Therefore, he purposely kept an eye out, just in case. This was a good habit that had been developed over the years as a special forces soldier. He had to predict the danger and prevent the unforeseen from happening.

"There really is someone who wants to sneak in!" When Ye Cheng woke up from his stupor and listened carefully, the sound coming from the room became even clearer. He got out of bed and pulled the towel around his waist.

The room was completely dark. Ye Cheng relied on his senses and quietly hid behind the door, holding his breath as he listened to the sounds coming from outside.

It was not long before the lock was broken and the door opened a crack and bright light from the corridor came into the room.

"Damn it, it's even called a five-star luxurious cruise! What kind of broken door is installed on it, it's actually useless!" As they cursed in extremely low voices, two figures entered in a flash.

After entering the room, the person behind carefully closed the door. The two of them did not realize that there was someone behind the door, who was staring at them with a cold gaze, like a ferocious beast hiding in the darkness, waiting to hunt.

Just when the light from the corridor shone into the room for two to three seconds, Ye Cheng noticed that the two people were holding guns with silencers in their hands. He was secretly shocked, "They're not ordinary criminals. They even got their weapons on board!"

Ye Cheng suddenly moved. With lightning speed, he extended his hands and grabbed towards the two people's heads.

"Pa!" The two tough heads collided with each other. The duo had yet to react to what was going on as their minds buzzed, golden stars flashed wildly, and their vision turned dark. Suddenly, they slumped onto the ground, unconscious.

"It is fortunate that I have foresight. Otherwise, it is really possible that these two fellows would have gotten their hands on me!" Ye Cheng picked up the gun on the floor and put it on his waist. Then, he picked up one gun with each hand and dragged the two into the bathroom.

He turned on the light and took a closer look. One of them was the man with the scar on his face, and both of them wore headphones.

"They're pretty professional!" Ye Cheng took off their earphones and the infinite call box on their waists. He quickly tapped on their bodies a few times to prevent them from shouting out loud after waking up.

He found something to block the toilet's drain and slowed down the water inside. Then, he carried the two of them to the toilet and fiercely pushed their heads into the water. There was no need to be courteous to those people with ill intentions.

Under the stimulation of both cold water and choking water, the two of them slowly woke up after only a few times. They kept coughing and drooling from their mouths and noses. The two of them clearly understood what was going on. They must have suffered some backlash, but when they tried to struggle, they realized that their bodies could not move at all.

"Who are you? Let go of me if you know what's good for you... "Sob, sob …" Before the scarred man could finish his arrogant words, his entire head was once again pushed into the water.

"If you don't want to drown in the toilet, then behave yourself!" Ye Cheng pressed his hand on the man's head for half a minute before he finally pulled his head out of the water.

This fellow almost suffocated to death. After leaving the water, he started to breathe fresh air hurriedly in big gulps. For the time being, he didn't dare to act so arrogantly. The other guy was very tactful. He remained silent as he sized up Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng casually threw the two of them onto the ground. The two of them had their acupoints pierced, so if they did not understand, they would not be able to move freely. Even if the door was opened, the two of them would not be able to escape.

"Tell me, where did you two come from? What do you want to sneak in here in the middle of the night?" Ye Cheng asked casually, as if he was a chatterbox. He did not seem angry at all.

"Humph!" The man with the scar snorted and said, "This ship has been completely controlled by our people. You won't be able to escape even if you have wings. If you still want to live, then obediently let us go. I can even plead for you."

"Motherf * cker, you still dare to threaten me as a prisoner!" Ye Cheng's expression immediately turned cold. He raised his hands, pulled out his two guns, and pointed them at the two men's heads. He said coldly, "I'll give you three seconds to answer. Whoever is slower gets their head shot off."

"One!"

"I say …" The other man, regardless of whether Ye Cheng's words were true or not, tried to first talk to Ye Cheng to stabilize him, then think of a way to escape or to report his actions.

The moment he opened his mouth, Ye Cheng did not hesitate to pull the trigger. With a light sound, the bullet instantly shot into the scarred man's head.

Blood splattered as it landed on the face of another man. He could clearly feel the temperature of the blood. In an instant, his face turned as pale as paper and his heart trembled. Damn it, he's even more ruthless than us! Killing people without blinking, you can tell from the scars on his body that he isn't a good person!

The scarred man had a look of disbelief on his face. His eyes were wide open as he died with grievances. He decided that Ye Cheng did not dare to shoot because he was just trying to scare people. The result was completely out of his expectations. Of course, it was too late to think about it now.

Previously, Ye Cheng had looked kind and amiable, but in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a cold-blooded and merciless killer. It was as if he was a completely different person. It was easier for him to irritate the other man.

Ye Cheng raised his right hand and blew at the muzzle of his gun. I gave you the chance to cherish it, but you can't blame me for that! " Soon after, he looked towards the man that was scared witless. Speak, if you dare to lie, you will end up like him. He hasn't gone far on the Road to River Styx. If you want to go down and chase after him, I don't mind sending you two along as companions! "

"Don't... Don't shoot, I said. I will tell you everything! " Having learned his lesson, how could this fellow dare to challenge Ye Cheng's bottom line? He fiercely swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said, "We are from the Fox Hunt Squad. We came here to kidnap you and take away all the money you won in the casino."

"The Fox Mercenary Group?" Ye Cheng's expression darkened, "What is your final destination? How many of your people are on the ship?"

He had just exchanged blows with a fox hunter mercenary a while ago and knew that this group of people were all extremely vicious and desperate for money. They would commit all sorts of crimes and were notorious for their evil deeds. Qiao RuBing's father had died in the hands of these mercenaries. Ye Cheng had even personally crippled one of the mercenary leaders, the Ghost Fox.

The man did not dare to hesitate and replied, "Abducting all the people on the ship, stealing the money, using it to force the family of the hostage to take the money away, and using it to force the Chinese side to hand over the Ghost Fox! Almost all the sailors below the first mate are ours, and some are even dressed up as tourists to board the ship. I really don't know how many of them actually have come, but there are about forty to fifty of them, maybe more! "

He did everything he could to explain himself. He was afraid that if any of these things displeased Ye Cheng, he would be killed with a single shot. Having seen Ye Cheng's vicious and thunderous methods, he thought to himself that he should save his own life before saying anything. He could not care about anything else.

Ye Cheng asked in detail and felt that the matter was extremely troublesome to handle. These fox hunters were well-prepared and large in number. They were equipped with weapons, internal communication walkie-talkies, and hundreds of hostages. Plus, they were on the high seas. It was unrealistic to think that he alone could turn the tide.

"One last question. Has the ship's owner, Tao Youlan, been controlled by you?" Ye Cheng asked in a low voice. He immediately thought of Tao Youlan and had to inform her of this matter.

"I'm not sure, but someone has already gone!" The man immediately replied.

"Since you've told me so much, I'll tell you something as well!" Ye Cheng smiled and said, "I caught the Ghost Fox with my own hands!"

After saying that, he laughed and pulled the trigger. Without holding back, he shot this guy to death. A fox hunting mercenary was not worth being merciful towards.

This room was not safe. If the other mercenaries noticed that the two fellows had not come out yet, they would definitely come to check it out. Bringing Jiajia and Xiao Xiao along was also not safe and was inconvenient. Ye Cheng could only point out their sleeping spots and hide them in the closet, covering them with his clothes.

After hiding Xiaoxiao and Jiajia, Ye Cheng quickly changed into a new set of clothes, then skillfully placed the Infinite Calling Box on his waist, put on his headphones and went to the window.

The entrance to the first class corridor was already under the control of the fox hunters. If Ye Cheng were to venture out, he would definitely cause a conflict. Right now was not the time to engage with the fox hunters, the most important thing was to see how Tao Yilan was doing. Without the help of Tao Youlan, she would be trapped on the ship and die.

It was already late in the night, and it was dark outside. He couldn't see the magnificent view of the sea outside the window.

Ye Cheng unlocked the sliding window, pushed open the window and stuck his head out. He saw that the window was only four to five centimeters wide with a metal outer edge. There was no place for him to set his feet. Looking down, he could vaguely see the lowest deck by the light of the lantern. It was over ten meters high, and if he fell down and did not die, he would end up as a cripple. Looking up, about three meters was the upper level. Putting down the curtains, there were faint lights shining through.

Ye Cheng heard Ning Xiang say that the room upstairs was Tao Youlan's residence. Fortunately, he had casually asked about it, otherwise, he would have been blinded.

"It's really difficult to sneak in through the window!" Ye Cheng sighed. No matter how difficult it was, he still had to bite the bullet and go up. He jumped up to the window, leaned out, and began to move.
