Top Secret Entrustment [Rebirth]

"You don't look surprised at all?"

The young man's beautiful lips pressed against the rim of the goblet, and his eyelashes were raised. Kevin stared at his half-brother sitting at the other end of the gaming table without turning around. He was still the same as every time he met. , always indifferent, there is no trace of emotional change on his cold face, it seems that there is nothing in this world that can shake that man's composure.

Like a cold and condescending god, weak and humble people will never be able to see those eyes, and in front of this brother, he is not even the most basic opponent——

The smile on Kevin's lips froze, and a strong sense of disgust filled his heart. This guy broke into his life without warning, broke the original balance, and took away his father's love and attention. Don't even look at him in the end!

What can he do to affect his frozen world?

This is a weird feeling that has been gradually distorted over the long years. It is a bit like predators fighting for territory and status as adults. Compared with the status of heir, Kevin cares more about the slightly childish sense of conquest.

What can I do to make you look up to me? !

When his innate advantages are trampled to pieces by the opponent, and the instigator has no interest in what is being crushed under his feet, Kevin has never felt so annoyed-even this meeting on the cruise ship. , as a person involved in the layout, he is more like a weak prey guarding the gambling table.

Why no surprise?

How much he wanted to see the panicked look on that face.

"Hello, Kevin—"

Luo Yifan's voice was very calm, his dark gray eyes were clear and dull, like a sharp knife, it seemed to be attached to his neck unintentionally, and his lifeblood was sealed with a single strike.Kevin made a very inconspicuous swallowing movement, looking a little uncomfortable. Being watched by such a pair of eyes can easily give people the illusion of being swallowed alive.

Luo Yifan's next sentence was more relaxed, as if it was really a chat between the brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time, but Kevin fell into a passive state in an instant.

He said: "You are not surprised that I came back from the dead. It seems that someone has indeed told you about my current situation. Kevin, you chose a partner that you can't control, and you are more sure that you don't have to be an opponent. Opponent, are you—tired of work?"

Kevin put down his wine glass pretending to be calm, holding Gao Jiao's fingers trembling because of the other party's unreserved sarcasm, "This is my business, Luo Yifan, do you really think of yourself as your brother?"

"But having said that, I'm really surprised that you would intervene in this matter."

Yifan completely ignored Kevin's provocation, and said the word 'surprise' in a flat tone.

If he hadn't seen Kevin Garcia in the bottom warehouse surveillance, Luo Yifan would probably have been troubled by Shaw's behavior of stealing huge amounts of cash and blowing up the casino building in his previous life for a while.

At that time, he didn't know that there was a Cornell Schumann lurking in the shadow of Shaw's opposite, let alone that Kevin would be used by Schumann.

According to the normal timeline, the casino incident occurred in the fourth year after the theft of the "Mona Lisa", a full ten months before the robbery. From the perspective of the FBI, this cunning thief had very low activity frequency in the early stage, but every time Every shot has a strong purpose, and the impact is getting worse.

The biggest difference between the two worlds is the "Aurora" that everyone is currently on. Luo Yifan has a vague impression of this cruise ship. The accidental shipwreck did not cause much public opinion, because the The rescue facilities are perfect, and the rescue rate of the entire cruise ship is as high as 95%, and all the tourists are rescued, and only a few crew members unfortunately died.

Polar routes, such a high survival rate can be written into the maritime textbooks, and even the critical American media has to praise the safety of Fred's company.

That day in the study room of the apartment, Yifan also inadvertently linked the two events based on Lu Cen's description of the route. As the only accident that could intersect between the prison robbery and the casino, Shaw must have experienced this accident in his previous life, and also It was because of this accident that Las Vegas ushered in the darkest day of that spring.

——He was finally forced to become a ghost.

"Anyway, you and that guy called Shaw are on this ship," Kevin's voice brought Yi Fan back to his senses, Kevin chuckled lightly and took a sip of his red wine, his gray eyes were stained by the reflection of the wine An unpredictable layer of dark red, "During this journey, I am just a guest invited by Daniel. No matter what happens to you, I am just a spectator."

After the words were lost, Kevin snapped his fingers to summon a waiter not far away, and ordered: "Take a deck of cards, and order another 2000 million chips. Hurry up."

"Yes, Mr. Garcia." The waiter bowed to Kevin, and quickly went to prepare the needed things.

"Let's take a gamble," Kevin smiled leisurely, clasped his slender fingers on the table, and dropped them one by one in regular order, "Let's see who will lose first this time."

When the waiter came back, he divided the 2000 million chips between the two, shuffled the cards, and said respectfully, "What are you two playing?"

"Texas hold'em," Kevin said.

It is said that the waiter removes the big and small kings from a deck of cards and shuffles the remaining 52 cards. The fingers of this kind of dealer are very flexible, but because they don't pay such exaggerated attention to maintenance, compared with the thief Much inferior.

Luo Yifan stared at his movements for a while, and a strange look flashed across his eyes. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell the specifics. In the end, he just looked away after confirming that the other party was not cheating.

"Kevin, how many people do you think this gaming table can hold?" Luo Yifan looked meaningfully at the opposite Kevin, who was still a little youthful, like a young lion showing his sharpness, with claws and canines They are not sharp enough, but they are eager to express themselves.

Kevin said coldly: "What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush with me!"

"Do you think Cornell Schuman would have sat next to you if he had been there?"

The croupier split the cards, Luo Yifan turned over the cards and glanced at the suit, his lip line slightly raised, Kevin was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he saw a smile on this man's face since he was a child.

"He'll just sit where you're sitting—"

"The god who really dominates everything can never have an accomplice. You are just a pawn. How can you dream of being with Cornell Schuman? Kevin, you are really impatient."

Kevin's brows were tightened, and a complex look of doubt and fear appeared in his eyes.

"Please bet." After the first round of card splitting, the croupier made a gesture of please and reminded.

"And you should be a little worried." Luo Yifan said.

Kevin said, "What?"

Luo Yifan bowed and directly pushed 1000 million chips to the center of the gaming table. Kevin opened his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that the other party chose to put all his eggs in one basket as soon as he came up.

Yifan leaned back on the sofa, lighted a cigarette unhurriedly, and said indifferently: "For you, you only have one chance in this gamble. If you miss, you will face irreversible failure, and Schumann doesn't mind giving up your child." .”

"Mr. Garcia," said the croupier, "please place your bet."

Kevin took a deep breath, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be covered with ice. He didn't touch the chips in front of him, but said one word stiffly, "Follow up."

At the same time, the top cabin of the cruise ship, the Crystal Hall.

Under the dim lighting of the candles, the masquerade party became ambiguous. After the waltz, the rhythm of the next dance music was very soothing. Many chatting men and women entered the dance floor, hugging each other and dancing slowly.

The man's palm against his back seemed to have some kind of indescribable burning sensation. Xiao Yu lowered his head uncomfortably, staring at the second button of the other's shirt, and even his breathing rate dropped to inaudible. The degree is not because of fear, but just because it feels awkward.

Yu Xicheng wore a black metal mask, revealing thin lips and a handsome jaw. Behind the mask, the man's dark eyes were slightly narrowed, and his soft eyes fell on the tip of a certain red ear.

At that moment, he had an irresistible selfishness, wanted to hug him into his arms, wanted to lower his head to make some kind of intimacy, but Xicheng could feel some kind of resistance, just like the hand on his shoulder He quietly maintains the dancer's ambiguous but unsurpassed distance.

Xiao Yu glanced around secretly, "Where is Miss Maggie?"

"A Yuan took it away," Xi Cheng said, "Don't worry."

"Oh," Xiao Yu continued to look at the buttons, and asked in a voice that only each other could hear: "Why are you here? The teacher asked you to come?"

Xicheng quietly looked at a guy who was unwilling to look up at him, sighed in his heart, and said after a while: "How did the teacher teach you?"

Xiao Yu was startled, before he had time to comprehend the meaning of this sentence, he felt that the hand on his back slowly moved up to the back of his head, and his five fingers clasped the hair with a little force. Xiao Yu couldn't resist and could only raise his head obediently.

"When communicating with strangers, you should look into their eyes and not look at other places," Xicheng said patiently, "Besides, the dancers here are familiar with each other. Your behavior just now will make people feel unreasonable, Xiaoqi. , because you rejected me, have you even forgotten the most basic tricks?"

"Brother..." Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, you don't need to explain to me." The dance stopped abruptly, Yu Xicheng took his hand and left the hall, and walked down the stairs, "The teacher didn't ask me to come," Xicheng said simply: "I replaced An invited guest, you haven't found out yet?"

"Lulu is in charge of the verification work, and the results may not come out yet." Speaking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly realized something, "You acted without telling the teacher, and you still interfered with his plan, aren't you afraid—?"

Footsteps sounded at the end of the corridor, Xiao Yu hurriedly silenced, Yu Xicheng reacted faster, pulled Xiao Yu to hide in the equipment room, the footsteps sounded from far to near, judging from the sound should be three people, these people walked steadily, and It's very neat, and it sounds like a professionally trained guy.

The equipment room was narrow and dark. Xiao Yu was guarded by Xi Cheng in the narrow gap between his body and the wall. He carefully looked out from the round window. There were three men in formal suits. The upper body of the leader was very strong. With a pair of hawk-like eyes, Xiao Yu could vaguely guess that the other party was probably a bodyguard, but... who could it be?

After all, this is the cruise ship used by Daniel Fred for his engagement trip. It is really impolite to carry bodyguards from the orthodox army under such a background. Their owners must either have special identities or have a good relationship with Daniel. .

Xiao Yu's brain was spinning fast, and he asked in a low voice, "Where are they going?"

Yu Xicheng pressed against the wall and glanced in the direction where several people disappeared, "It may be a casino."

"Casino..." Xiao Yu lowered his eyes in thought, his eyebrows tightened little by little, he felt vaguely uneasy, and said, "Yifan is there, I want to go there!"

"Wait," Xicheng stopped him, "I have to tell you a few things."

Xiao Yu nodded, "Say it."

"A few months ago, intelligence gave me a piece of feedback that the teacher may have been to Las Vegas."

Xiao Yu was shocked, "Do you know his whereabouts?"

"I don't know, because the teacher seldom goes out," Yu Xicheng said, "This time I also captured the video by accident. I personally identified it. It should be the person. He went to meet someone at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. "

Xiao Yu's first reaction was to review the list of invited guests this time. Except for the crew, there were a total of about 230 guests and entourages. Among them, the people from Las Vegas... Xiao Yu did not remember the identities of the guests. Just browsing through it casually, he was impressed with that person, but not particularly impressed.

"If my investigation is correct, the person the teacher went to meet with was Kevin Garcia, the acting chairman of the Venetian Hotel. At the same time, he had a good relationship with Daniel Fred because of the tourism cooperation project, and he was also subject to the engagement ceremony. Invitation, now on this ship."

Yu Xicheng looked at Xiao Yu and continued: "I investigated Kevin's background and found out that he has a half-brother who just joined the FBI headquarters in Washington a year and a half ago, but left suddenly in March. Died in a traffic accident, his name is Luo Yifan."

Xiao Yu couldn't believe her ears, she just felt chills in her heart, raised her head, and looked at Xicheng in disbelief, "The organization's intelligence didn't find any information related to Yifan's family background, how can you be sure it's him?"

"Little Seven—"

The voice sounded a bit helpless, the two were still wearing masks, Xiao Yu stared into Xicheng's eyes in a strange way, and was suddenly stabbed by something inside.

Xicheng said softly: "Senior brother has no reason to lie to you, so why do you doubt senior brother?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, and finally took a deep breath and said, "What else?"

At this moment, there was a slight electric sound on the communication channel, and Xiao Yu hurriedly raised his hand to signal Xicheng to keep quiet. At this time, there must be something on Lu Cen's side.

Sure enough, after the signal stabilized, Lu Cen's voice sounded, and he said: "Currently, there are 317 people on the cruise ship, which is one more than the scheduled number. Now that the number of guests is confirmed to be correct, it should be someone who got into the crew. Met a guy behaving irrationally?"

"No," said Archimedes, who was very noisy, "I'm still preparing supper, and I'm already crazy busy!"

Xiao Yu pressed the headset and said, "I just came back from the top cabin, there should be—" He glanced at Xicheng in front of him, and decided to report what he just heard to Lu Cen later, "It should be fine. "

His voice fell silent, and there was a long sound of "Du-duk--" on the communication channel, the sound only produced when his fingertips brushed across the microphone, it seemed that it was inconvenient for Yifan to speak now.

But what do these two long sounds mean?

Xiao Yu's thoughts flashed, and he suddenly realized a problem.

If Cornell Schuman has already cooperated with that guy named Kevin Garcia, and Kevin is Yifan's half-brother, then the helper who got in is likely to stay by Kevin's side to support secretly .

"Lulu, Yifan should be in the casino, see who is around him!" Xiao Yu said urgently, "Send me the surveillance footage!"

There was an orderly tapping sound from the headset, and after ten seconds, Lu Cen said, "Look at your phone."

Xiao Yu hastily swiped open the screen to check. He received a total of two photos. Lu Cen worked very carefully. The first one was a floor plan of the entire casino with red dots on it, and the second one was a surveillance screenshot—that was a At the gaming table in the corner, Xiao Yu noticed that the three bodyguards who walked past each guarded an exit, and there were several suspicious-looking gamblers near the gaming table.

Xiao Yu turned off the microphone, pointed to the person opposite Yi Fan and said, "This is Kevin?"

Xicheng Pingping hummed, stretched out his hand and tapped on the other person in the screenshot, Xiao Yu followed the prompt and looked over, his expression changed immediately - it was the croupier at the gambling table.
