Chapter 84: The Unlucky Villain's Lucky Little Companion Player (10)

A familiar, slender figure in the near distance caught Duan Tianhe's eye, causing his breathing to quicken.

Without a moment to think, his feet had already moved, and within a few breaths, he was standing next to Song Chuyi, grabbing his arm and pulling him behind his back.

He then glared at Wen Wu. "Are you investigating me?"

Wen Wu: ?

"Huh?" Wen Wu looked completely confused. "Do I still need to investigate you?"

Hadn't he already laid all his cards on the table before they even started working together?

Duan Tianhe sneered. "If you weren't investigating me, how could he be here?"

Wen Wu looked past Duan Tianhe. Wasn't that the little buddy he had just taken under his wing?

Song Chuyi, smart and articulate, would be a great asset for pulling favors. He had even considered bringing him into the company.

At this moment, Song Chuyi peeked out from behind Duan Tianhe and tugged at his sleeve.

"I'm here to work as a waiter."

"And I happened to run into Brother Wen."

These words caused a pang in Duan Tianhe's heart.

The little companion player was working so hard, not only playing games but also serving as a waiter?

But he had already transferred him hundreds of thousands. He shouldn't have run out of money so soon, right? Could it be...

Numerous speculations arose in Duan Tianhe's mind, and his expression changed repeatedly.

Wen Wu cleared his throat lightly. "Alright, let's save the reminiscing for later. We have more important matters at hand."

He patted Duan Tianhe's shoulder and gave him a meaningful look.

"I have other things to attend to. Remember, focus on the task at hand."

He then looked at Song Chuyi. "Xiao Song, remember to contact me after you get back."

With that, Wen Wu turned and left, leaving Duan Tianhe and Song Chuyi looking at each other.

Duan Tianhe pressed his lips together, wanting to ask many questions but unable to voice them.

It was Song Chuyi who spoke up honestly. "Neighbor brother, are you a guest here?"

Hearing this unfamiliar address, Duan Tianhe's lips tightened.

After a moment, he managed to speak. "My name is Duan Tianhe."

Song Chuyi naturally continued, "Brother Duan."

Duan Tianhe paused for a second before slowly saying, "You..."

Was he going to say he was his boss?

Would that be too presumptuous?

As he wrestled with this, Song Chuyi spoke first.

"Brother Duan, your voice is very similar to a boss I know."

Song Chuyi took out his new phone, opened WeChat, and realized that Duan Tianhe had sent him many messages that he hadn't seen!

He cleared his throat lightly, half-covering the chat history, and pointed to the WeChat profile picture. "That boss."

Duan Tianhe's WeChat profile picture was a plain black image, not particularly eye-catching.

Duan Tianhe stared at Song Chuyi for two seconds before letting out a low chuckle.

"What a coincidence."

"I have a little companion player whose profile picture is exactly the same as yours."

He took out his phone, the screen still on the chat interface with Song Chuyi.

Scrolling up, he could see the transfer records.

Song Chuyi pretended to be shocked. "Boss, what a coincidence!"

Duan Tianhe laughed softly, a bit muffled. "Yes, very coincidental."

Even if it was a conspiracy, he would accept it.

"Why did you delete the chat history?"

He had clearly noticed that the chat records in Song Chuyi's hand only showed the messages he had sent today.

"My phone broke while chatting with you yesterday," Song Chuyi briefly explained the phone issue.

"I was busy with work today and didn't see the messages you sent."

"Busy?" Duan Tianhe repeated the word. "Busy chatting with Wen Wu?"

He knew how chatty the little companion player could be and how difficult Wen Wu was to approach. For Wen Wu to consider recruiting him, the little companion player must have talked a lot with Wen Wu.

Song Chuyi didn't blush when caught. He just coughed lightly. "Brother Wen seems quite wealthy."

"I'm also very rich." Duan Tianhe slowly gripped Song Chuyi's wrist, "After this job, I can get 20 million. I'll give all 20 million to you."

Song Chuyi: ?

How could someone so unlucky make so much money?

"How do you plan to make money?" He asked curiously, "Aren't you supposed to be very unlucky?"

"Hmm." Duan Tianhe led Song Chuyi towards the deck, "This cruise ship is going to sink soon. Let me teach you how to use the lifeboats first."

"Wait." Song Chuyi grabbed Duan Tianhe, "You mean this cruise ship is going to sink? How do you know?"

"After I came on board today, I checked the condition of the entire ship. There are no safety hazards."

Duan Tianhe's eyes were dark, his voice lowered, "I'm very unlucky."

"So?" Song Chuyi's eyes widened slowly, "So you were deliberately sent here to make the ship sink, just to create a reasonable excuse to salvage a sunken ship at Luoxia Bay?"

"Why? There are over a thousand people on this ship."

"Once it sinks, it could mean the death of over a thousand people."

"Why would they ask you to do this?"

By this time, there was no one else on the deck except the two of them.

A slightly salty sea breeze blew past them, carrying a hint of moisture.

After a brief silence, Duan Tianhe said, "There's a sunken ship at Luoxia Bay. They need a reasonable excuse to salvage it."

Song Chuyi: ?

No, something's not right.

The villain's background didn't mention anything about salvaging a sunken ship. It's very likely that even if the ship sank, they wouldn't find the sunken ship they were looking for.

This would be a futile effort.

"So you're willing to be this executioner?" Song Chuyi asked again.

"They'll take care of the people on the ship." Duan Tianhe still didn't want the little companion player to misunderstand, his speech speeding up a little, "Their aircraft carrier is nearby. Once something happens here, they'll come over."

"There are plenty of lifeboats and life vests on the ship, which can maximize the survival rate."

"What about you?" Song Chuyi pressed, "They're not planning to save you, are they?"

Duan Tianhe replied with a soft "Hmm," "I bring bad luck. If they try to save me, something will go wrong."

Not maybe, not possibly, but definitely.

In a sense, Duan Tianhe was very confident in his abilities, to the point of arrogance.

Even Song Chuyi couldn't claim a perfect success rate in his tasks, and he had the lucky card on his side.

Song Chuyi shook his head slightly, "You're really foolish."

"What if you die?"

"I won't." Duan Tianhe said firmly, "You gave me two scratch-off tickets. I haven't scratched them yet. I'll definitely make it back alive to scratch them."

Song Chuyi: ...

Duan Tianhe, saying this, pulled out a scratch-off ticket from his pocket, "I even took one out to carry with me."

"You really are..." Song Chuyi couldn't help but laugh, "A clever dog!"

Duan Tianhe put the scratch-off ticket away carefully and rubbed Song Chuyi's hair, not stopping until it was a mess, then he stopped and straightened his expression.

"So now I'm going to teach you how to properly use the lifeboats and wear a life vest."

Song Chuyi waved him off, "No need. With me here, the ship won't sink."
