They were running in the wrong direction.

Ye Kong thought so in his heart as he quickly slipped into a room hand in hand with Wen Can.

They should run downstairs to the first floor.

Even if the exit is blocked, you can still try your best to rush out and mingle with the other guests.

With so many mobile phones around, we can record audio and video even without any signal. The Qin family will not cause a death in public.

She really wanted to slap herself on the forehead, but she didn't want to make it known and make Wen Can worry.

Glancing at Wen Can opposite him.

In the extremely dim light, one could vaguely see the man's profile as he tilted his head to listen to the noise outside the door.

——Although it is not very clear yet, she hopes that her image in this person's mind can be more powerful, taller, and more in control of everything.

It would be best if you could charm him to death and make him throw himself into your arms ten thousand times.

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I was awakened by the sound of footsteps approaching from outside the door.

At the same time, there was the sound of the door being violently pushed open.

——There is more than one person, they have to search the middle from both ends of the corridor at the same time.

Ye Kong immediately held Wen Can's hand tightly, and the other party obviously understood his intention and turned around and pulled her into the room.

The rooms on the cruise ship are all suites, with bedrooms, dressing rooms and bathrooms.

But most of these places are in plain sight, and it seems that the only places where people can hide are in the closet and under the bed.

But it is obvious that these places are not safe.

They looked around the room and the sound of a door being pushed open in the corridor began to get closer.

Ye Kong took Wen Can's hand and pointed to the terrace outside the bedroom.

The faint light from the sea shone through the gauze curtains, illuminating the shadows of two people standing there. They looked at each other, tiptoed to open the floor-to-ceiling window, and walked out.

The cold wind howled.

There was a loud sound of a door being pushed open not far away. Ye Kong suddenly pulled the person down, and they both lowered their heads and squatted on the ground.

On the terrace a few rooms away, a bodyguard in a black suit and carrying a walkie-talkie walked out of the door, his shiny leather shoes stepping on the concrete floor.

He walked around the terrace and looked left and right. All he saw was the empty terrace standing in the night, with some gauze curtains fluttering out of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

After a while, the footsteps returned to the house and the night became quiet again.

Ye Kong breathed a sigh of relief silently, took out his phone and typed something for Wen Can to see.

After reading it, Wen Can frowned slightly, but still nodded.

Ye Kong then leaned his head out to look at the direction where the sound had just come from. After confirming that it was about three or four rooms away, he immediately pushed Wen Can to signal him to hurry up. However, before he could get up, he heard the sound of a floor-to-ceiling window being opened again.

This time it was from behind.

The two men lowered their heads and squatted again.

In the dim light, they both saw serious signals of impending doom in each other's eyes.

But even so, he still acted quickly the moment the footsteps disappeared.

Ye Kong originally wanted to ask Wen Can to go over first, but Wen Can picked him up sideways without any warning, carried him over the railing to the terrace of the room in front.

Ye Kong was startled.

The terraces of the two rooms are not far apart but not close enough to touch each other either. The distance is such that one could fall directly from the gap if one is not careful.

But Wencan's hands were steady.

Even the hand that had just been injured was using all its strength.

There was clearly no sound, but Ye Kong felt as if he heard the sound of a wound bursting.

My heart felt like it was suddenly bitten by an ant.

But she landed quickly without saying a word and squatted down, turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and tried to open it as silently as possible.

When I looked over again, Wen Can had already turned over.

They entered the room noiselessly.

The next second after the two figures disappeared, footsteps were heard on the terrace two rooms away.

The bodyguard stayed for a few seconds and then turned around and went back in.

Inside the door, Ye Kong couldn't help but hold Wen Can's hand tightly again.

They listened together as footsteps came from the other side and disappeared before they quickly went out the door again and moved to another room in front.

This time the floor-to-ceiling window was already open, so the two of them went straight in and repeated the previous steps.

The bodyguards moved closer.

There is only one room in between.

If I flip over again this time, I might get hit directly if I’m not careful.

The girl's short nails dug into the man's palm.

Wen Can lowered his eyes to look at her, then shook her hand back with a little more force.

Ye Kong raised his head and looked at him.

When it became quiet outside again, the two of them slipped out of the room.

After climbing over the railing, the girl landed on the ground like a cat. When she turned around, she heard footsteps approaching from the suite.

She quickly turned her head to look at Wen Can.

Wen Can is climbing over the railing.

Through the bedroom door, she suddenly heard the voice of the bodyguard inside.

"No one, but I can always find it. There are people down there anyway..."

"Hello? Why aren't you talking?" The voices of other bodyguards came over the intercom.

Wen Can landed in front of me.

"...gauze curtain."

"what?"

"The gauze curtain is wrong..."

Without pressing the intercom, the bodyguard outside the bedroom muttered to himself.

Outside the terrace, Ye Kong stared at Wen Can as he walked towards her.

In my ears I could hear the bodyguard suddenly and quickly walking towards the bedroom.

The man bent down and prepared to pick her up.

The sound of the bedroom door opening was amplified in my ears——

Ye Kong took a deep breath, grabbed Wen Can by the collar, and with his other hand silently picked up the scissors used to trim branches and leaves next to the potted plants. He turned around and pulled Wen Can into the bedroom.

Just then the bodyguard pushed the door open.

The furniture was not even visible in the darkness, but the flashlight in the bodyguard's hand quickly illuminated the girl's eyes as she looked towards him.

Sharp, pointed, emitting a bright, extremely cold light.

The bodyguard's pupils shrank, and he raised his hand to press the intercom, but was stabbed hard on the back of his hand by a pair of scissors.

"what……"

Before he could even scream out in pain, his throat was suddenly grabbed by another big hand.

The bodyguard's leather shoes rubbed against the carpet and he retreated. In the blink of an eye, Wen Can had grabbed the bodyguard's neck and pressed him against the wall.

Ye Kong pulled the scissors out from the back of his hand and tried to stab them into his stomach again.

Wen Can looked down and snatched the knife away with his injured hand in time. He turned around and skillfully hit the bodyguard's neck with the back of the scissors.

The bodyguard's eyes went blank, he let out a slight groan, and soon collapsed.

Wen Can let go of him, turned around and glanced at Ye Kong silently.

The girl looked up in the darkness and blinked innocently.

Wen Can: ...

It's not a situation where you have time to talk.

Soon, Wen Can dragged the bodyguard under the bed and hid him.

Ye Kong picked up the walkie-talkie.

A red light flashed, and another bodyguard's voice came from inside.

"There isn't one on the third floor."

“Neither is there on the sixth floor.”

"You're not going to jump into the sea, are you?"

"Where's Mr. Yu?"

-

The sound of chaotic bodyguards talking to each other could be heard everywhere.

Ye Kong was just about to leave with the walkie-talkie, but when he was about to take a step, he heard a familiar voice.

"Have you really searched hard?"

The voice was gloomy, yet calm: "Don't stop looking just because you bump into each other - you need to search extensively. Even if you bump into each other, you can't stop. Keep looking for rooms that the other person has already searched. Maybe you can find a corner that the other person has overlooked."

"Don't wait until you've finished looking for it before you wait for the elevator."

"From the beginning, there must be someone guarding the elevator entrance, someone searching the room, and someone in the emergency passage."

"This way, there will be no blind spots."

"Only then can they have no escape."

·

Ye Kong recognized who it was.

She slowly raised her head and saw Wen Can's cold yet calm eyes.

Noticing her gaze, he met her eyes and smiled.

Outside the window, the sea and the sky merge into one, and the air is getting colder.

A radio station in a distant city was reporting tonight's weather - "Tonight is also a great night with heavy snow at sea. I heard that the couples' and family rooms on the Rose have been booked out long ago. It must be a beautiful night for lovers and families to enjoy the scenery hand in hand."

On the sea surface, at an unknown distance from the cruise ship, the lights illuminated the face of Secretary Fei on the deck as he looked down at his computer.

"How long will it take to get to the original location?"

he asks.

"At full speed, half an hour, but..."

The man pulled his clothes tight and looked up at the dark sky. "It's going to snow soon. I'm afraid there will be fog on the sea."

"Without a signal, we might deviate from our course."
