Chapter 1946: Biased

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“With the influence of the Mitsui family in Sunrise Land, it’s not a problem for us to do this,” Caie Mitsui said.

“However, according to common sense, cruise ships are inspected at the port when they enter. There’s almost no need to mobilize the coast guard.”

“Tell your people to think of a way to do this. In short, just find a reason.”

Lin Yi hadn’t thought about this problem yet, so Caie Mitsui had to handle it herself.

“No problem. I’ll arrange it. Don’t worry, Mr. Lin.” Caie Mitsui said,

“What’s our mission after we board the ship?”

“I’m on the ship. You can send someone to contact me. I’ll arrange for them to do the next steps.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now.”

After hanging up on Caie Mitsui, Lin Yi fiddled with his phone and dialed Liu Hong’s number.

“How’s the situation? Have you boarded the ship?” Liu Hong asked in a low voice.

“I’m already on board, so don’t worry. I’ve thought of a solution, but I need you to create a diversion,” Lin Yi said.

“Tell us what to do, and we’ll follow your lead,” Liu Hong replied earnestly.

“Increase the frequency of contact with them, express a strong desire to make the trade, and agree to hand over the C-class serum,” Lin Yi said.

“But don’t be too eager; they’re very sharp and will suspect anything that seems out of the ordinary.”

“I understand. I’ll handle the follow-up,” Liu Hong said.

“Is there anything else you need me to do?”

“That’s all for now. If you can do this, I’ll take care of the rest.”

“This matter has been hard on you, involving your family like this.”

“From the day I joined the Central Guard Brigade, I was prepared for this. No need to apologize, we’re all just doing our jobs.”

“It’s good to hear you think that way. I’ll arrange the next steps. Stay in touch.”

“Will do.”

After hanging up with Liu Hong, Lin Yi didn’t plan to stay hidden any longer.

There were other tasks to complete, and time was tight.

Although it was already past five in the morning, there weren’t many people on the ship.

Those on a cruise were there to relax.

No one would choose to wake up early in such a leisurely time, as office workers might.

Adjusting his clothes, Lin Yi walked out confidently, blending in as just another tourist.

Even if some tourists or staff passed by, no one doubted his identity.

Soon, Lin Yi reached the helipad on the top deck and saw a helicopter parked there.

Seeing this confirmed his suspicions.

Ji Qingyan had been kidnapped the night before.

Judging by the Victoria’s sailing speed, they must have set sail the night before.

Therefore, after kidnapping Ji Qingyan, they must have used the helicopter to get here.

Lin Yi took a closer look and saw that the helicopter was commercial, seating up to eight people, including the pilot.

In other words, there were no more than eight people who arrived on the ship the night before, one of whom was Ji Qingyan.

This meant the main force of the opponents was at most around seven people.

Although that didn’t seem like much, in this situation, the number of people couldn’t determine the balance of power.

Most likely, these people were skilled in the technique of exerting force in their dantians.

Additionally, considering they were after the C-class serum, they might have other preparations.

They might have made additional arrangements before boarding.

Because of these factors, other people on the ship could possess firearms, posing a threat to him.

Thus, he needed to be cautious.

After confirming the details of the helipad, Lin Yi decided not to waste any more time and began his next step.

“What are you doing here sneaking around?”

Just when Lin Yi was about to take action, he suddenly heard a shout from the side.

He turned around and saw that the person who spoke was wearing a blue uniform and speaking in accented Huaxian, looking at him seriously.

“I bought a ticket to be on this ship. I can be wherever I want,” Lin Yi replied calmly, showing no signs of panic.

“This is the helipad for the wealthy. No one is allowed here. Didn’t you see the signs?” the man said.

Lin Yi glanced around and saw a sign prohibiting entry. It seemed he had indeed chosen a bad spot to hide.

“Fine, if it’s off-limits, I’ll leave now.”

Lin Yi didn’t argue further, intending to get back to his main task.

But just then, the man stopped him.

“Don’t move!”

Lin Yi looked back at the young man.

“What do you want?”

“I’m suspecting you of doing something inappropriate here, so I need to search you!”

“There’s nothing here, just an old helicopter. What inappropriate things could I possibly be doing? Do you think I’m here to steal fuel?”

Lin Yi pointed to the stairs behind him.

“This area isn’t sealed off; other tourists can come up here. If it’s truly restricted, you should block the entrance. That’s your oversight, not mine.”

“Others may come up, but you’re Huaxian, so I need to check you.”

“What kind of nonsense is that? Just because I’m Huaxian, you need to search me?” Lin Yi said, expressionless.

“Mainland Huaxian is poor and backward. Only super-rich people can come on such cruises. Someone like you doesn’t belong here, so I’m suspicious of you,” the young man said.

“Moreover, many tourists have reported their wallets missing recently. I suspect that you’re behind this, so I need to see your ID, ticket, and travel permit. Hand them over for inspection.”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young sailor. “From your words, you seem to have a deep prejudice against the mainland.”

“I don’t think so.” The sailor’s expression was abnormally arrogant. He didn’t take Lin Yi seriously at all.

In reality, he wasn’t targeting Lin Yi. He didn’t care about all the people from the mainland on the ship.

In his eyes, people from the mainland were lowly. They were not worthy of being on this ship.

“I’m afraid that won’t do. You don’t have the right to ask me to do this.”

Firstly, Lin Yi didn’t have a pass or ticket at all. Secondly, even if he did, he wouldn’t take it out.

Because the fate of this young sailor in front of him had basically been decided.

The sailor took out his baton from his back and turned it on, pointing it at Lin Yi.

“Mainlander, I hope you know your place. It’s already God’s mercy that he let you board the ship. I hope you can cooperate with the inspection. Otherwise, I’ll be forced to act.”
