three days later.

The high seas of the Pacific Ocean.

Dark as ink.

The waves crashed against the ship's hull, producing a dull roar.

A huge white cruise ship, like a brightly lit floating city, floats quietly on the sea.

The neon lights dyed the surrounding seawater in a variety of colors.

The huge "POSEIDON" lettering gleamed in gold on the ship's side.

on the deck.

The music was deafening.

Men and women dressed in expensive formal attire, holding champagne glasses, chatted and laughed loudly in the sea breeze.

The air was filled with the scents of cigars, perfume, and sea salt, and an unmistakable stench of money.

A black private helicopter roared through the clouds.

It landed smoothly on the top-floor helipad.

The hatch opened.

Several men who looked like bodyguards jumped down first.

The red carpet was quickly laid out.

then.

A man wearing a white tailored suit and sunglasses walked down.

Shen Wansan.

The world's richest person.

His identity today is that of a mysterious and wealthy guest from the East.

"Is this the Poseidon?"

Shen Wansan took off his sunglasses and glanced around with disdain.

"It's just so-so."

"It's not even as big as my backyard."

Behind him.

He was followed by two "bodyguards" dressed in black suits.

A tall man with cold eyes, exuding an aura that keeps strangers at bay.

Qin Xiao.

The other one was slightly thinner, with sharp, eagle-like eyes, constantly scanning his surroundings warily.

Lao Liu (the head of the criminal investigation team).

And those who came last.

They are two adorable little dolls.

Sui Sui was wearing a pink tutu.

Lace trim, bows, crystal shoes.

Her hair was permed into doll-like curls, and she wore a small diamond-encrusted crown.

She looks like an innocent little princess.

but.

If you look closely.

You'll then notice that this "little princess" looks like she's swallowed a fly.

As she walked, she subtly tugged at the hem of her skirt.

It's so painful.

The skirt is made of mesh underneath, which makes my legs itchy.

Moreover, although these crystal shoes are beautiful, the soles are too hard.

It's not fast at all.

If a fight breaks out, this will be a burden.

"Bear with it."

Gu Bei, who was standing next to him, said something in a low voice.

Gu Bei was wearing a black tuxedo with a bow tie, and his hair was neatly combed.

Like an elegant little gentleman.

But his hands, which were tucked into his pockets, were still tightly gripping the modified Rubik's Cube.

That was a new toy Chu Kuang gave him.

It contained a miniature bomb.

"I know."

Sui Sui gritted her teeth and forced a fake smile.

"For my sister."

"Don't mention wearing a skirt."

"I would have endured it even if you made me wear a burlap sack."

The group had just stepped off the tarmac.

Several security personnel in uniform came to greet them.

He was holding a metal detector.

"Sir, routine check."

The security captain was a bald foreigner with fierce eyes; he was clearly a former mercenary.

He stopped Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan raised an eyebrow.

He pulled a black invitation card out of his pocket.

That was a top-tier VIP card issued by the "Eternal Life Society".

There are only one hundred copies in the world.

"examine?"

Shen Wansan gave a cold laugh.

Do you know who I am?

"You can afford to compensate me for the hundreds of millions of dollars in business that I missed for just one minute?"

The security captain glanced at the invitation.

His expression changed.

But he insisted, "Sorry, these are the rules. No one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to bring weapons onto the ship."

talking.

He took the detector and was about to scan Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao stood there expressionless.

He had a specially made ceramic gun tucked into his waistband.

That was Third Father Chu Kuang's latest invention.

It won't pass an X-ray, but it will pass a metal detector.

"drop--"

The detector swept across Qin Xiao's waist.

There was no sound.

The security captain frowned.

I scanned it again.

Still no sound.

"Let it go."

The security captain waved his hand.

It was Sui Sui and Gu Bei's turn.

The security captain looked at the two little kids who weren't even as tall as his thigh.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

But he still held the detector and waved it over Sui Sui's body.

"Beep beep beep—"

The alarm suddenly went off.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Several security guards instinctively reached for the stun batons at their waists.

Qin Xiao's muscles tensed instantly.

As long as these people dare to make a move.

He could snap that bald man's neck in a second.

Sui Sui, however, remained calm.

She blinked her innocent-looking big eyes.

From the pocket of the tutu.

He pulled out that pink Transformer.

"uncle."

"Sui Sui said in a childish voice."

"This is my toy."

"It will make a sound."

talking.

She pressed a button on the Transformer.

"Autobots! Transform! Roll out!"

That broken, gong-like electronic sound was unusually loud in the quiet checkpoint.

The security captain was taken aback.

Looking at that silly-looking toy.

His lips twitched slightly.

"Alright, alright, go in."

He waved his hand.

I feel like I'm arguing with a three-year-old; it's a complete waste of time.

He hugs a Transformer every year.

She winked at Qin Xiao.

The group passed through security smoothly.

We entered the ship's main hall.

Upon entering.

The visual impact of extreme luxury is overwhelming.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs down from the three-story-high dome.

The floor was covered with thick Persian carpets.

An original Picasso painting hangs on the wall.

The gambling table was piled high with chips, like a small mountain.

Each chip represents a lifetime's savings for an ordinary person.

This is paradise.

It's also hell.

Sui Sui's gaze was not drawn to those magnificent decorations.

He didn't even look at the scantily clad beauties.

Her eyes.

It's like a sophisticated radar.

Quickly scan through the crowd.

Find that goal.

That figure that has appeared countless times in my dreams.

"Let's split up and act separately."

Qin Xiao lowered his voice and spoke into the headset.

"Fifth brother, go and attract attention."

"Old Six went to find out the security routes."

"My children and I are going to find the server room."

"receive."

Shen Wansan straightened his tie.

He instantly switched into his extravagant spendthrift mode.

He swaggered over to the largest gambling table.

"Come on! Give me a hundred million in chips!"

"Today, I'm going to dominate the battlefield!"

With Shen Wansan's high-profile entrance.

All eyes in the hall were drawn to it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Xiao led Sui Sui and Gu Bei into a nearby corridor.

This is the passageway to the VIP lounge.

There are few people.

Quiet.

But it's also more dangerous.

Because every waiter here has a bulging waist.

That's a gun.

"The server is at the bottom layer."

Gu Bei looked at the Rubik's Cube in his hand.

There's a tiny display screen on it.

This is displaying a 3D structural diagram of the ship.

That was obtained by Fourth Uncle by hacking into the shipping system before he set off.

"We need to get access to that elevator that goes directly to the ground floor."

Gu Bei pointed to a golden elevator at the end of the corridor.

Two burly men stood at the entrance.

"I'll distract them."

Qin Xiao was about to move.

Sui Sui grabbed his hand.

"Need not."

Sui Sui shook her head.

Her gaze went past Qin Xiao's shoulder.

I looked towards a terrace on the second floor of the hall.

There.

There was a person standing there.

He was wearing a black tuxedo.

He was holding a glass of red wine.

With their backs to the noise of the hall.

I'm staring blankly at the sea.

That silhouette.

That standing posture.

Even if it turns to ashes.

I recognize it every year.

That was the last silhouette she saw through her blurry, tear-filled eyes on the operating table.

That was the back view of the person holding a scalpel, tearing her sister apart piece by piece.

"Godfather".

Sui Sui's voice was very soft.

It was as light as a dream.

But Qin Xiao sensed it.

Sui Sui held his little hand.

It turned icy cold instantly.

It was still trembling violently.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Xiao followed her gaze.

"that……"

Raise your hand every year.

Pointing to the black figure on the second floor.

"That's it..."

"doctor."
