Chapter 814 - 812: Suspicion
However, upon reflection, with Master Brother’s skills, it’s indeed not difficult for him to sneak up here.
"Hehe, if I’m not mistaken, what you want is with the person you’re hiding. To be honest, many things aren’t as simple as you think. Maybe the only one you can really trust is yourself." Lin Xiaoting spoke ambiguously, hoping Chen Tianlong would understand.
Chen Tianlong was silent for a moment. What Lin Xiaoting said made sense, but after his return to the city, many of his views changed. He had some very good brothers, Yang Fan and Zhao Lei, as well as some trustworthy friends like Bingshuang; they were all honest and kind.
"Alright, wait for me outside for a while, I’ll go in and ask." After thinking for a moment, Chen Tianlong turned around and walked into the room.
However, after searching for several minutes, he found no trace of Master Brother.
Obviously, Master Brother Ming Dao had already left.
"Are you trying to say he’s hiding to not be discovered?" Lin Xiaoting saw through Chen Tianlong’s thoughts and directly said.
Chen Tianlong gave a wry smile. Although he had some doubts about Master Brother, if the information fell into his hands, it would eventually be given to Master Ye Feng, leaving no danger.
"Alright, regardless of whether he took it, as long as it didn’t fall into the hands of your Black Alliance, it’s not a big problem." Chen Tianlong considered the task completed, sighed in relief, and said, "Alright, let’s go out to have some fun. Anyway, I’ve already missed the time to leave the South Sea city waters, so no one will come to pick me up. We might as well have some fun on the ship."
"....." Lin Xiaoting was speechless. The Black Alliance’s Sixth-in-Command had gotten into trouble, and she had witnessed the scene herself. If anyone who’d seen her leaked it, she’d be in serious trouble.
"Chen Tianlong, do you think this is your home? Saying you want to play just like that? As a stranger, people will recognize you at a glance. If you’re with me, I’ll become an accomplice, and once I return to the island, there’s no way out." Lin Xiaoting laid out her predicament.
"I see." Hearing this, Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and clearly had an idea.
He walked over, whispered a method into Lin Xiaoting’s ear, and after hearing it, Lin Xiaoting nodded, evidently agreeing with the plan.
Ten minutes later, Chen Tianlong disguised himself as Mr. Songmu, came to the hall, and performed a dance in front of everyone. This was a show for everyone to keep morale, letting everyone know that Mr. Songmu was still fine.
On the other hand, it cleared Lin Xiaoting of suspicion of being an accomplice.
After all, when Mr. Songmu left the hall and went back to his room to rest, he was alone, and he hadn’t come out after entering his room. That’s a private matter, and the subordinates wouldn’t dare question it.
After handling all this, Chen Tianlong jumped out of the window and went to Lin Xiaoting’s room to rest. Soon evening came, and after dinner, Lin Xiaoting sneakily brought a portion back for Chen Tianlong.
As for Mr. Songmu’s side, everyone thought he was drunk and sleeping, and no one dared to knock and disturb him.
"I really didn’t expect you to be so capable, knowing Disguise Skill!" Lin Xiaoting never liked Songmu, his death meant nothing to her.
Anyway, the Black Alliance doesn’t lack talent. Removing a self-satisfied and arrogant person after completing a task is good fortune for the Black Alliance; otherwise, it will eventually be destroyed by such a person.
"Hehe, I have plenty of skills, you know. Now that I’m bored, how about we delve a little deeper and talk about life?" After finishing, Chen Tianlong decided to tease the beauty to relax.
"Talk about life? Who wants to talk about life with you? Dream on. I’ll bring you a mat later. You sleep on the floor, not on my bed." Lin Xiaoting pouted, but the thought of spending the night in the same room with a man made her a bit excited.
"Oh, the floor is too hard, and my back hurts!" Chen Tianlong deliberately said.
"Hmph, then go outside and sleep!"
"Alright, but if I get discovered, I’ll say you’re with me."
"You...."
Lin Xiaoting was at a loss for words. This Chen Tianlong indeed was so shameless, but this exact personality made her feel his uniqueness, making her heart race.
"Alright, we’ve had enough to eat and drink, what should we do now? Let’s sleep for a bit. After all, we’ve kissed before. Why not something more exciting?" Chen Tianlong raised his eyebrows and smirked mischievously.
"You pervert!" Lin Xiaoting rolled her eyes at Chen Tianlong, displeased.
"What did you say?" Chen Tianlong pretended not to hear, sat on the bed and lay down: "Wow, so comfortable. Cruises really are different, even the beds are so comfy. Hey Lin... What’s your name again? Come and lie down for a bit, I promise I won’t take advantage."
"Hmph, you’re hurtful, not even remembering my name, yet wanting to...."
"Oh, I wasn’t thinking of doing anything with you. It was you who forcibly kissed me earlier. I got excited and couldn’t help it, who asked you to be so pretty, with snow-white skin." Chen Tianlong seized the opportunity to tease her.
"You... jerk!" Lin Xiaoting blushed at Chen Tianlong’s teasing, and with a huff, lay on the bed, declaring dominantly: "Hmph, as you just said, don’t take advantage, or I’ll... not let you go."
"Oh my, I’m scared." Chen Tianlong chuckled, closing his eyes.
It was indeed a tiring day, battling with that Songmu guy, he really needed to rest after a day like that.
Soon, in the midst of playful banter with the beauty, Chen Tianlong slowly fell asleep. Lin Xiaoting watched him slumber, somewhat fascinated. No choice, this was their second time sharing a bed. If this wasn’t fate, even Yue Lao would secretly laugh.
By around nine the next morning, people on the ship started waking up, while Chen Tianlong gazed out of the window.
"What’s up, brat!"
"Sorry, pretty lady, I have a name, please call me Chen Tianlong, or Mr. Chen is fine!"
Chen Tianlong smiled. These leisurely carefree days made him a bit reluctant, but he knew that unexpected happenings beyond his control were on the horizon.
"Hmph, I also have a name, it’s Lin Xiaoting, remember, not Lin something, but Lin Xiaoting, next time if you can’t remember my name, I’ll...."
"You’ll give me a kiss... Ok, I promise."
"Shameless!"
"Huh? How do you know my nickname?" Chen Tianlong smiled faintly.
"....."
Lin Xiaoting was speechless, but inwardly she was delighted. Somehow, being with Chen Tianlong always made life feel more fun, feeling the throbbing between lovers.
As their banter reached a peak, suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded outside. Both of them immediately felt something was off.
"Chen Tianlong, was Mr. Songmu’s matter discovered?" Lin Xiaoting asked.
"Shh!" Chen Tianlong gestured for silence; if something happened at this point, it could only be this.
But then again, how could it be discovered so quickly so early in the morning?
Logically speaking, it’s normal for a boss to sleep till nine or ten, there shouldn’t be anyone noticing.
With doubts, Chen Tianlong instructed Lin Xiaoting: "Xiaoting, go out later and check the situation. I suspect it wasn’t discovered, but someone secretly informed."
