A hunting adventure [unlimited]

After dinner, Yu Zhen found an excuse to separate from Yan Chen. He tossed the coin up and down and walked back to the cabin.

***

Liu Min was not with her friends. It had been 24 hours since Ye Yingting disappeared. She reported to the crew and asked to call out the surveillance video of Erica's floor corridor, but yesterday's surveillance equipment on the floor was just right. During maintenance, there is no screen record.

"Did you guys quarrel? The young lovers are having conflicts..."

"He's not my boyfriend!" Liu Min argued, "We didn't quarrel...and no matter how fierce the quarrel was, he didn't dare to scare me by disappearing."

Not being able to find Ye Yingting, Liu Min was more anxious than anyone else. In addition to the panic of being young and inexperienced, there was also a sense of fear of the unknown that eroded her.

If Ye Yingting disappeared, how would she explain to the other party's parents?Those are the uncles and aunts who loved her like a daughter since she was a child. How will her parents treat her?

A certain intuition of danger in Liu Min's brain gave birth to a huge and heavy sense of oppression, as if someone was chasing her behind, forcing her to find out the whereabouts of her friend as soon as possible, otherwise she would regret the result for the rest of her life.

Feeling her anxiety, the crew comforted her and said that young people are playful, and they might be drunk in some corner. This happens often on cruise ships, so she doesn't have to worry too much.The crew also promised that they would help her keep an eye on Ye Yingting's whereabouts, and if he didn't show up tomorrow, the whole ship would call for a search.

On the way back to her room, Liu Min felt a burning pain in her stomach. She hadn't eaten all day, and her nervousness made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

In the brightly lit corridor, someone whistled and passed by her. The man was about 20 years old, wearing a sky blue coat and a peaked cap covering half of his face.

Liu Min is tired of people who are fooling around, and she doesn't want to give more eyes, but the moment she passed by, she suddenly stretched her hand and grabbed the corner of the other person's clothes!

"Huh?" The man stopped and looked back at her with an inexplicable face, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Liu Min clenched the hem of the sky-blue coat tightly, and touched the inside of the clothes with her fingers. The soft velvet lining was embroidered with rough patterns. She turned it over and saw that it was a green leaf.

——No mistake, this is the clothes Ye Yingting wore before he disappeared.

Some people like to mark their belongings. Ye Yingting's mark is a green leaf, which corresponds to his nickname "Leaf".But when she saw this familiar green leaf logo, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Who are you!?" She asked with red eyes, "Why are you wearing my friend's clothes!"

"Ah? This dress..." The man said in a panic, "I won this dress from the club!"

Yu Zhen returned to the room with the newly bought oranges, closed the door, cut the fruit, and ate three in one go.

He wiped his hands, picked up the reflective coin, and remembered the departure time reminded by Yan Chen, 2:00 am tonight.

In the end, Yan Chen did not explicitly tell him the nature of the so-called club, but only said that the venue is private, there is everything there is, and the entertainment activities held every night are very rich, which can meet all the requirements of the guests.

Did a lot of people on this ship go to the club, he asked?Yan Chen said, not many, that place is easy to bankrupt.

Yu Zhen faintly worried, what should I do if I can't pay the money?Yan Chen said that there is no need to worry about money if you go with him.

Tsk, I seem to have misunderstood something.Yu Zhen touched her face, probably not rich enough.

He added another question: Is it legal?Yan Chen smiled but did not answer.

Could it be that Ye Yingting was tricked into selling gold nests and stayed outside?

Yu Zhen has accumulated the knowledge and experience to distinguish whether a person is lying or not. After the characteristics of human behavior are classified, it is not difficult to spot lies; Yan Chen did not lie to him, but he just didn't want to tell him everything.

Whether to go or not became a problem that troubled him all night.

Intellectually, he tends to avoid risks and not get involved in events with unknown origins; emotionally, he thinks that he is not here for easy travel, and he wants to solve the confusion in his heart.

In a blink of an eye, the time quickly entered midnight.

Sleeping enough during the day and not sleepy at night, Yu Zhen was in a daze until 1:45 in the morning when the doorbell rang.

A waiter stood outside, holding the box in his hand, smiling shyly: "Hello, this is a gift prepared by Mr. Yan for you."

Yu Zhen didn't catch it immediately, but asked cautiously, "What's inside?"

It was the first time for the waiter to meet such a perplexed customer, and he said with a difficult smile, "This... I don't know, it must be something that needs to be opened by you."

Yu Zhen said thank you, took the box, and closed the door again.

Under the warm light in the living room, Yu Zhen carefully unwrapped the gift box; inside was a complete set of clothes, and the tag price was very shocking.

To be honest, his scalp is a little numb, what is there a term similar to "little white face"?Used to refer to a free appendage controlled by a man to symbolize power, it seems to be related to birds...

canary!

God, this is a big misunderstanding.

Playing every occasion, Yu Zhen comforted himself, just playing every occasion, ha ha.

On the soft paper wrapping the clothes was a small card handwritten by Yan Chen:

[I definitely don't mean to think that your clothes are not good-looking, but the club has a dress code, I hope I won't offend you]

Yu Zhenxin said that she had already offended her.

Clothes are no more than decorations and practical items. They are gifts that can only be selected after measuring the size and grasping the other party's preferences; he and Yan Chen are far from being familiar with each other's clothes.

Yu Zhen spread several clothes on the sofa, silent.

... Yan Chen has really good taste.

He touched a silver button on the chest of his shirt thoughtfully.

***

According to the agreed time, Yu Zhen came to the deck to meet Yan Chen against the midnight sea breeze.

Yan Chen was very punctual and waited for him not far away with Odin by his hand; beside Yan Chen stood five or six staff members wearing headsets—because they were wearing uniform black suits.

To his surprise, Erica was also there. She was wearing a one-shoulder black dress and stiletto sandals, standing gracefully in the other group of people.

There was more than one team of people on the deck, and it could even be said that it was very lively.

Erica was surrounded by young men wearing headsets with the same dull expression. The object they surrounded was a middle-aged man with frosty temples.

Yu Zhen couldn't figure out the situation, and walked towards Yan Chen hesitantly.

Yan Chen did not comment on the effect of his new clothes, but judging from the upturned corners of his mouth, he should be in a happy mood.

Ao Ting at night was not as energetic as during the day, and looked at him obediently with his tongue out, Yu Zhen stepped forward and patted its head.

"Do you still have a dog?"

"It likes to watch the excitement." Yan Chen stared at Erica's direction and introduced him, "There is Mr. Liang who is with us all the way. If he talks to you, I suggest you ignore him."

As soon as he came, the group over there set off first, and it turned out that everyone was waiting for him.

Yu Zhen leaned over the railing and watched them leave the cruise ship and board a white three-story yacht.

He tilted his head to look at Yan Chen, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't the club on the boat?"

"Yes, it's just a boat you haven't seen before." Yan Chen stretched out his hand to him, "Let's go."

The stern of the ship dragged a broad wave like a snow-white ice layer, and the giant cruise ship gradually drifted away on the sea surface, and the faint lights were hidden in the mist, annihilated and shrunk into a starlight.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, Yu Zhen turned around——

Yan Chen served two glasses of sparkling wine, but before handing them over, he said, "I don't drink."

The other party handed it to him persistently, and said, "A little bit."

Yu Zhen took the glass and said in a low voice, "I don't want to drink, I just want to eat candy."

Yan Chen suspected that he had heard it wrong, and confirmed, "Sugar?"

Yu Zhen nodded hurriedly, "Chocolate is fine too."

"The wine was given by Mr. Liang. If you don't drink it, he will make things difficult for you." Yan Chen turned his shoulders and let him see the scene behind him——

Mr. Liang was sitting at the round table, with two tall men standing on the left and right, shaking narrow champagne glasses in their hands, and Erica was whispering in his ear.

"He didn't look at me..." Yu Zhen said in the same weak voice, he pulled Yan Chen's sleeve from an angle that no one else could see, "You help me find the candy, and I'll drink it."

When he spoke softly, his voice was soft and slightly viscous; so Yan Chen reluctantly agreed as he had expected.

As soon as Yan Chen left, Yu Zhen turned his back to face the sea and poured the wine silently.

"No sugar, only chocolate." Yan Chen's voice sounded again.

Yu Zhen turned back, put the empty wine glass into Yan Chen's hand, took two pieces of chocolate from the small tray, and smiled contentedly: "Thank you."

As soon as he loosened his fingers, the chocolate fell to his feet, and his body became unstable and fell towards the railing——

The boat is rocking?Or a tsunami?He was leaning on the cold railing, his vision was dim, the sea below was calm, and Yan Chen stood upright nearby.

Only he is unsteady.

Dizziness and powerlessness covered his limbs overwhelmingly, and his breathing was long and heavy due to the slowing of his heart rate...

how come?He obviously didn't drink that glass of wine.

Yan Chen handed the tray and cup to the people around him, approached and pinched his chin, forcing him to raise his head, "I'm sorry, but I still don't worry about keeping you awake."

Yu Zhen didn't even have the strength to grit his teeth, and his body leaning on the railing slowly slid down, Yan Chen caught him; he rubbed his thumb from the end of his eyes to the corner of his lips, and said regretfully, "Are you smart or stupid? If there is danger, follow me."

"roll."

Yu Zhen turned his face away with the last of his strength, the scene in front of him became blurred, and his consciousness drifted into the thick darkness...

***

An incoherent mournful whimper woke him from the chaotic night.

A pale face covered with tears was less than ten centimeters away from him. Her mouth was sealed with tape, but she could be vaguely recognized from the sobbing tears and nose that she was Liu Min.

"Woooooo..." Her hands and feet were tied behind her back, her eyes were wide open, she didn't know whether to cry or scream, she was a little excited to see him wake up.

Yu Zhen's headache was as if someone had smashed it open with a hammer. After a minute, he was finally able to mobilize his paralyzed limbs and sit up from the ground.

This is a closed warehouse, the walls and floor are covered with mottled rust, because the air is not circulated, it is full of sweat, rust and a slight smell of blood.

People around him are all people with their hands and feet bound and mouths sealed like Liu Min; they are leaning or lying, their eyes are numb and stiff, motionless as if they are dead.Yu Zhen glanced briefly, and caught a piece of information: The tools used to bind them are different, including nylon ropes, cloth strips, ties, adhesive tape... very few are handcuffs.

Explain that the people who bound them used local materials, and they used them for whatever they wanted.They are not from the same place, not even the same batch.

Yu Zhen moved his arms and stood up. He roughly counted the total number of people in the warehouse, about a hundred.

As the only person who has freedom, he attracts the attention of others when he moves. Those people with hope in their eyes and whose vitality has not been extinguished, wriggled their bodies and crawled towards his legs, uttering "woo hoo" for help.

Yu Zhen thought, this is all right, he has also become one of the "missing persons".

The author has something to say:

Du Yu: Oh, who is in trouble again.

Yu Zhen:? ? ?die you

Thanks u8jfgh baby grenade!
