Chapter 83: The Unlucky Villain's Good Fortune Courtesy of the Little Companion Player (9)

The corridor was eerily quiet, with only Duan Tianhe's voice breaking the silence.

After waiting for two minutes, and still receiving neither an opening door nor a response, Duan Tianhe sighed and turned to head towards the stairwell.

Without the little companion player by his side, he didn’t dare take the elevator at this critical moment.

At 7:59, Duan Tianhe arrived at the port, with only one minute left before the cruise ship set sail.

He took the stairs two at a time and boarded the ship expressionlessly, heading towards the room number the Shady Broker had told him about.

As he passed by the deck, he saw a slim figure crouched on the deck, seemingly inspecting something.

A strange sense of familiarity welled up in him, and he was about to go over for a look when someone grabbed his arm.

"Is this Mr. Duan Tianhe?"

Duan Tianhe had no choice but to turn around and reply softly, "Yes."

"Please follow me," the person said.

Duan Tianhe responded and couldn't help but look back again, but the slim figure had already disappeared.

Was it just an illusion? He asked himself.

How could the little companion player be on this cruise ship?

It must have been his illusion.

Duan Tianhe shook his head and followed the Shady Broker's associate to the room to prepare for the next steps of the plan.

Meanwhile, Song Chuyi took the opportunity to thoroughly inspect the entire cruise while everyone was busy.

Nothing wrong!

According to the planned route, the ship shouldn't sink.

This should have been a ship that would safely reach its destination without sinking, yet it was going to sink.

Duan Tianhe's unlucky influence was even more powerful than Song Chuyi had anticipated.

The only option now was to prevent the ship from sinking.

Song Chuyi stood on the deck, looking at the vast expanse of the sea, his long lashes fluttering.

The cruise sailed slowly, with five hours left until it reached Laguna Bay.

In room 2202, Duan Tianhe looked at the Shady Broker in surprise, "Wen Wu, you're here too?"

"Is this Changhe No.1 that important?"

Wen Wu pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded seriously, "Extremely important."

"Tsk," Duan Tianhe clicked his tongue, "Then extra payment."

Wen Wu: ???

He sized Duan Tianhe up and repeated, "Extra payment?"

"Yes, extra payment," Duan Tianhe emphasized with a heavier tone, "Another ten million."

Wen Wu's mouth twitched, "What do you need so much money for? You can't buy a car or a house."

"For the little companion player," Duan Tianhe said, his arms crossed, his expression noticeably softening when he mentioned the little companion player, "He likes money."

Wen Wu couldn't help but suspect, "Aren't you being scammed by a companion player?"

"No," Duan Tianhe said firmly, "He wouldn't scam me."

"Even if he did, it would be my fault, not his."

Wen Wu was completely speechless.

"Another ten million, and I'll do it," Duan Tianhe looked at Wen Wu, "Add or not?"

"Add," Wen Wu's glasses glinted, "As long as you succeed, twenty million will be transferred to your account immediately."

Duan Tianhe was satisfied.

"Have you already drafted the plan?"

Wen Wu nodded and handed the plan to Duan Tianhe.

"We can only speculate that Changhe No.1 will sink in Laguna Bay, but we can't pinpoint the exact location."

"So we need you to leverage your unlucky constitution once we enter Laguna Bay."

"Remember, you only have one hour."

"One hour later, the cruise will leave Laguna Bay, and we'll miss our chance."

Duan Tianhe flipped through the plan, "I understand."

"I won't leave the room until we enter Laguna Bay."

"Have you prepared the rescue operations for after the ship sinks?"

Wen Wu nodded, "Don't worry about that, the cruise is equipped with many lifeboats, and our carrier is patrolling nearby. If anything happens here, they'll rush over immediately."

"It’ll only take ten minutes to get there, and I guarantee we can save people."

"But just in case, I need to remind you of something."

"Our people can’t save you; you can only save yourself."

Duan Tianhe responded lightly with a soft "Hmm."

He was already used to this.

Those who got close to him would end up unlucky. If the Shady Broker’s people tried to save him, even an aircraft carrier might sink.

Wen Wu observed Duan Tianhe’s expression and, seeing no resentment on his face, couldn’t help but ask, "Don’t you think we’re cold and heartless?"

Duan Tianhe: ?

"What stupid thing are you saying?"

"You paid, didn’t you? What? Do you think two million isn’t worth the risk I’m taking? Three million is fine too."

"That’s not what I meant." Wen Wu sighed. After so many years, he had never really understood Duan Tianhe. "But if it were someone else, they’d probably have complaints."

"We’re just using your hand to achieve our goals, and we can’t even save you."

Duan Tianhe returned the plan to Wen Wu and shrugged.

"It doesn’t matter, I don’t care."

He really didn’t care. It was dangerous everywhere anyway, so he might as well earn some money for little companion player to spend.

Seeing this, Wen Wu could only sigh.

"I’ve left you two lifeboats, along with some life jackets and lifebuoys."

His tone gradually turned serious. "You need to survive."

Duan Tianhe looked up at Wen Wu, frowned, and said, "Why are you being so fussy today?"

"Even if you die, I won’t. Don’t worry."

"Little companion player is still waiting for me to earn money for him to spend."

Wen Wu: ...

He really shouldn’t have said those extra words.

Wen Wu left quickly, leaving Duan Tianhe alone in room 2202.

He took out his phone, opened the chat with Song Chuyi, and after thinking for a moment, couldn’t help but send a message.

"A'Chu Chu, don’t be mad, okay?"

"I’ll earn twenty million soon, and I’ll give it all to you."

...

At that moment, Song Chuyi wasn’t paying attention to his phone. He was searching the cruise ship for Duan Tianhe.

To stop the cruise from sinking, he had to find Duan Tianhe first and prevent him from being unlucky.

But Song Chuyi had no idea that Duan Tianhe, not wanting to delay the plan, had stayed inside the cruise all day and had no intention of coming out.

After searching several times without finding Duan Tianhe, Song Chuyi had to try another approach.

He asked around and, during the conversations, happened to find someone who knew Duan Tianhe.

Song Chuyi was delighted; now he could find Duan Tianhe.

He called Wen Wu "big brother" repeatedly, and after making him happy, casually asked, "Brother Wen, can you take me to find Duan Tianhe?"

Wen Wu, who had been in a good mood, immediately refused him.

"No."

"Not now."

Song Chuyi asked, "When will it be possible?"

Wen Wu didn’t answer him.

The sea was calm, and the time quietly approached three o’clock.

The cruise slowly sailed into Luoxia Bay.

The door to room 2202 opened, and Duan Tianhe walked out.

As soon as he reached the deck, he looked ahead absentmindedly.

The next second, his pupils shrank dramatically.
