Cheng Fei returned their belongings, looking sincere. "I'm sorry, it was all a misunderstanding."

"It's okay, so what exactly do you do?" The young woman waved her hand.

"Is it safe here? Could someone be eavesdropping?" Ye Shuang glanced around the room, her face full of vigilance.

"Don't worry, we've already thoroughly checked everything before you came," the young woman said.

“We are investigators from Lin’s International Bank. Lin’s is one of the victims of the Kanghe Pharmaceutical Group’s loan fraud case.” Ye Shuang showed a prepared document.

After reading it, the young woman looked enlightened. "So it was someone the bank hired themselves. We're from the Financial Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Division, and we're investigating the same case as you."

"You guys are so unprofessional, this kind of operation..."

"Stop talking."

"Senior sister..."

The young man next to him looked displeased, and was stopped behind him by the young woman halfway through his sentence.

Next, the four people, having revealed their identities, simply had a conversation on the spot.

"You mean you came first, found the door open and no one was there, came in and searched the place, and just as you were about to leave, you bumped into us?" Cheng Fei asked, somewhat surprised.

The young woman, whose name was Fu Qian on her ID, looked helpless and shrugged.

"Did you find anything?" Ye Shuang asked quickly.

“There’s nothing here. He probably never even came.” The young man named Wan Haoran shook his head.

Cheng Fei thought for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Master Ye, could it be that the boat tickets are just a smokescreen, and Ding Sheng didn't even board the ship?"

“He boarded the ship.” Fu Qian said firmly, “I saw him complete the boarding procedures and go through security with my own eyes.”

"Then why didn't you just arrest him?" Cheng Fei asked in surprise.

“There were too many people at the time, and by the time I caught up, it was too late. I even had to walk between the two of you, remember? Besides, we have to follow the rules and can’t use violence arbitrarily.” Fu Qian looked at the boy and girl.

"I remember now, you're the one who borrowed from me." Cheng Fei nodded to indicate understanding, then pondered for a moment, "He didn't come to his room after boarding the ship, maybe he sensed danger. What do you think, Master Ye?"

"Once he gets on the ship, he can't escape. We just need to find him." Ye Shuang narrowed her eyes and clenched her small fist.

"That's it, are we really going to have to search for a needle in a haystack?" Cheng Fei wondered if his 3 points of luck were working its magic.

Fu Qian sized up the boy and girl. "We plan to continue monitoring this room, but now that we're leaving, what will you do?"

Cheng Fei looked at Ye Shuang and shrugged. "Shall we go too?"

……

The four exchanged information and contact details, returned everything in the room to its original state, and then left separately.

Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang walked side by side toward their suite.

The boy put his hands behind his head, tilted his head to look at the girl who was deep in thought, and asked, "Master Ye, do you have any clues?"

Ye Shuang frowned and shook her head.

The boy clapped his hands and said, "Since things have come to this, I suggest we have lunch first. Those two are lying in wait in the room, and they might catch them when we go back after we finish eating."

476. Ye Shuang couldn't understand Cheng Fei.

Ye Shuang glared at Cheng Fei, "Why are you still thinking about food at a time like this?"

"My question is, Master Ye, what are your plans?" The young man met her gaze, his expression hardening.

Ye Shuang turned her face away, her eyes flickering, and after a moment of silence, said, "Not for now."

The air became quiet.

"Shall we go eat?"

"Go ahead," the girl with twin ponytails sighed.

……

The two-person luxury suite offered 24-hour room service, but Cheng Fei thought they might run into Ding Sheng at the restaurant, so they headed to the most popular seaside buffet restaurant instead.

The two of them took their favorite foods separately and met up at a seat with a good view, carrying their trays.

"Master Ye, this is for you." Cheng Fei placed a plate containing two pieces of coconut-flavored glutinous rice balls in front of Ye Shuang.

The girl with pigtails frowned slightly, looking at the dessert and then at him, seemingly displeased. "I don't want it."

"Master Ye, you thanked me last time I brought you this, why are you so cold this time?" Cheng Fei took a bite of the Lamington cake he had given him, a small sponge cake covered in chocolate sauce, which was said to be a local traditional dessert.

"I think it's better if I'm indifferent to you." Ye Shuang lowered her head and ate her broccoli salad, not touching the dessert the boy had given her.

"Why?" the boy asked, observing her cold expression.

"For no reason," the girl said coldly, not even glancing at him.

"Master Ye, I thought we had talked about how our relationship had improved, so why are you still like this?" The boy's face showed a serious expression of confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense and pay more attention to your surroundings." Ye Shuang said while eating, scanning the people coming in and out of the restaurant.

"Okay." The boy picked up a meat pie to taste, and glanced around in front of him.

Because the two were sitting opposite each other, the boy's gaze would intentionally or unintentionally meet the girl's, and the girl would immediately look away each time.

This continued for a moment, then Cheng Fei took out a booklet from his pocket and began reading it while eating.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Shuang asked suspiciously.

"Introduction brochure? I found it on the way." The boy quickly finished flipping through it, then looked up into the girl's eyes. "Master Ye, this cruise ship trip is actually ten days and nine nights long?"

“The route is from Australia to New Zealand and back. As long as we catch the person quickly, we can get off the ship halfway through the journey.” Ye Shuang stared at the food.

What if we can't catch them?

“Then I’ll sit the whole way.” The girl said without hesitation.

"Isn't this really like coming on vacation?" the boy muttered.

"You're crazy. We're here to arrest people, not for a vacation."

"Master Ye, what I mean is, if we can't find him, how about we just have a good time for ten days?" the boy said seriously.

Ye Shuang took a deep breath and pinched her brow. "Cheng Fei, I really want to punch you."

"Isn't it great? This book also says there's a chance of encountering the aurora borealis and glaciers. Have you ever seen them? I certainly haven't, and I'd love to see them with my own eyes." The boy looked like he was seriously studying the manual.

"Cheng Fei, if you keep going like this, I'm really starting to doubt whether I should let you be with Miss."

“Master Ye, you’ve overstepped your bounds as a maid.”

"I am not a maid!"

"Master Ye, I think you've been reading too many romance comics and are just imagining things. I just want to enjoy the benefits of my business trip. Don't make it sound like we're going to have a date."

"Cheng Fei! What nonsense are you spouting?" Ye Shuang looked away as if she had been pricked by a needle, then glared at him angrily. "I think you have no sense of responsibility at all. We're here to work, and all you think about is playing."

"Don't get agitated." The boy looked around and lowered his voice. "If we really can't find him, there's nothing we can do. Are you going to stay cooped up in your room for ten days?"

"I can read comics," Ye Shuang said with a soft hum, turning her face away.

To the diners at the restaurant, the teenagers looked like a young couple arguing.

"Your reading of comics is the real sign of shirking your duties, Master Ye. Who's really the one lacking a sense of responsibility?" The boy shrugged.

"You're crazy. I'm only saying that I can't find him, as you said." Ye Shuang glared at her.

"Just because we can't find him doesn't mean we can give up so easily, right?"

"You're the one who said we should go have fun, and you're also the one who said we can't give up easily. It's so annoying! What do you mean by this?" The girl with pigtails became annoyed.

“Master Ye, your stubbornness is sometimes quite endearing.” The young man looked her over.

"Cheng Fei, I told you not to say such ambiguous things to me!" Ye Shuang threw down her cutlery.

"Actually, what I mean is, suppose he's hiding on the ship and doesn't go back to his room, what do you think we should do?" the boy coaxed patiently.

"If you can't figure it out, please just say what you mean and don't beat around the bush." ​​Ye Shuang crossed her arms in front of her chest and leaned back in her chair.

"Master Ye, I've noticed that your IQ seems to drop when you're angry. You'd better learn to control your emotions," the young man said with concern.

"I get angry just looking at you!" Ye Shuang glared at him hatefully.

"Am I really that hateful? No way." The boy touched his chin, looking genuinely worried.

"Can you stop going off-topic!" the girl gritted her teeth.

“Okay, I think if those two still can’t get anything by tomorrow, we should take the initiative and go looking for Ding Sheng while we’re on the ship. What do you think?” Cheng Fei said seriously.

Ye Shuang and he made eye contact briefly, then she looked away and remained silent for a second before saying, "Then let's split up."

"Master Ye, are you really trying to avoid me? What are you afraid of?" The young man stared at her pretty face.

"Splitting up is more efficient!" Ye Shuang declared confidently.

The boy looked at her and shook his head. "No, I want to be with you. What if something happens to you if we're separated? Strictly speaking, your mission is to catch people, and my mission is to protect you."

"How could I possibly need your protection?" Ye Shuang raised her chin.

"Anyway, this is Xuanqi's order, and I trust Xuanqi's judgment," the boy said righteously.

Under his gaze, the girl fell silent, lowered her head to eat broccoli, and after a moment sighed, her tone listless, "Fine, I can't argue with you."

"Master Ye, that's what I like about you. Let's eat." The young man smiled victoriously.

The two finished their lunch, but did not see Ding Sheng during the meal.

Incidentally, under Cheng Fei's incessant chatter, Ye Shuang ate the two coconut-flavored glutinous rice balls, still unaware of the connection between this dessert and herself.

Back in the suite, Cheng Fei found the ship's tour map and began to plan their cruise vacation in advance. Of course, according to him, he was looking for the places where he was most likely to run into Ding Sheng and stake them out.

Ye Shuang remained reserved about the matter, her face expressionless as she focused on reading the comics, as if this would allow her to escape something.

This situation continued until early the next morning. When Ye Shuang walked out of the room wearing a light pink tracksuit, Cheng Fei was in the living room talking to two Interpol officers on the ship's phone.

"Okay, I understand. I'll contact you again if anything comes up." The boy said and hung up the phone.

"How is it?" The girl with pigtails stared at him.

"As expected, we didn't find him. Ding Sheng didn't show up all night. I don't think he'll ever go back to his room." The boy shrugged.

477. The two who started fighting

"Then we'll just have to try our luck," Ye Shuang said, pouting.

"Okay, let's begin our vacation date." Cheng Fei stood up.

"What nonsense are you spouting now!" The girl with pigtails raised an eyebrow.

"Master Ye, please stop overthinking this. You're really too obsessed with romance comics. Everyone knows that friends can go on dates too, thank you." The boy looked at her seriously.

"Cheng Fei! Do you think it's funny to say things like that to me on purpose?" Ye Shuang narrowed her eyes.

"You actually found out, Master Ye. I just think it's kind of cute when you're angry but can't do anything about it." The young man said with great interest.

Thanks to Zhou Han's addition, Ye Shuang was able to shake off her position as the shortest girl in the Corridor Research Department. Putting aside her terrifying skills, the twin-tailed girl was a delicate and pretty young lady, and even her angry expression was pleasing to the eye.

Ye Shuang lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. "I can't do anything with you? Cheng Fei, I understand. I shouldn't have tolerated you for Miss's sake. You actually think I'm easy to bully."

"It's not that you're easy to bully. You're my master, and I still respect you a lot..."

"Cheng Fei, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

The cold-faced girl interrupted the boy's speech and rushed at him, throwing a jab.

The boy activated his Zero Strike and deftly dodged to the side.

Ye Shuang pursued him with sharp eyes, unleashing a series of hook punches and straight punches, all of which the boy dodged perfectly. Under the girl's lightning-fast attacks, the boy was like a small boat in a storm, swaying left and right.

"Master Ye, I'm sorry, I'm not the same person I used to be." The young man said with no small amount of pride.

Ye Shuang narrowed her eyes, and after a wide swing punch, she spun around on one leg, executing her signature high back kick with a spinning motion that sent the air blasting.
