There were at least a hundred assassins invited by Gao Yao.
But the Gao family valued the renowned Mute Demon the most.
That number one assassin from Southeast Asia was mute and low-key, but his mission completion rate was one hundred percent.
Before long, the Mute Demon appeared on the cruise ship.
He was still wearing glasses, looking unremarkable.
"Please, Mr. Mute Demon, take a seat!" Gao Yao personally greeted him.
The Mute Demon nodded and calmly sat on the leather sofa.
Gao Yao brought out his prized red wine and accompanied him with Gao Jian.
"Mr. Mute Demon, this mission is rather special. Besides a young girl named Su Ning Shuang, there's also a man."
Gao Jian described Qin Ye Xuan's appearance by his side.
The Mute Demon's body trembled, and he made hand gestures: "Say that again?"
Gao Jian repeated it doubtfully, explaining: "The other party seems to be impersonating the Masked Man from sixty years ago, the God of Slaughter..."
Before he could finish, the Mute Demon stood up abruptly, sneered, and waved his hand: "Apologies, I can't take this job."
"Huh? Why? You're the number one assassin, with a hundred percent success rate!" Gao Jian was anxious.
The Mute Demon sneered again and made a gesture of contempt: "You Gao family are seeking your own death, don't drag me down with you! That gentleman, let alone me, even if the King of Assassins Yuan Tian Ci came, it would be useless."
He didn't want to stay a moment longer and turned to leave the ship.
The two Gao brothers looked at each other.
Gao Jian scratched his head and cursed: "What Southeast Asia's number one assassin, turns out he's a good-for-nothing."
Gao Yao's eyes flickered, and he slammed the table fiercely: "Don't worry, that mute said even Yuan Tian Ci would be useless. I don't believe it. Let's just invite the King of Assassins, Old Master Yuan, to take action!"
Gao Jian rubbed his chin, looking troubled: "Last time we asked Old Master Yuan to handle something, he didn't want money or profit, but instead took a fancy to Xu Xia Yuan. No matter what, Xu Xia Yuan is the daughter-in-law of the Gao family..."
Gao Yao grinned sinisterly: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your cubs. Let Xu Xia Yuan dress up and serve Old Master Yuan! Our Gao family's business is more important!"
Over there, the young master of the Gao family, Gao Tian, was unhappy.
But here, Gao Yao was king, his word was law.
Gao Tian gritted his teeth and drank in silence.
Gao Jian came over and patted his shoulder: "There are plenty of good women. I can arrange for you to have fun with the recent Miss Hong Kong contestants. It's just Xu Xia Yuan."
Gao Tian remained silent.
No matter how much of a scoundrel he was, Xu Xia Yuan was his wife.
His lawfully wedded wife!
To hand her over to accompany an old man like this, wouldn't his own head be a green grassland?
"Gao Tian, your condition can be cured, but Xu Xia Yuan definitely doesn't love you!" Gao Jian's eyes rolled: "Listen to your uncle, don't be a sissy."
Gao Tian looked up excitedly: "My condition can be cured?"
He was born incapable, relying on medication to be a man, especially when facing Xu Xia Yuan, even medication didn't work.
Gao Jian chuckled in a low voice: "Behind our Gao family's business this time, there's a super big shot pulling the strings. That big shot's abilities can be described as god-like."
Gao Tian was finally tempted.
After drinking, he drunkenly went to the side of the ship's cabin.
Xu Xia Yuan had been confined there since returning from Jiang City. She had just showered and was sitting in her cabin, lost in thought.
Gao Tian threw a black maid outfit inside: "Dress up nicely for me. A VIP is coming, you need to go out and accompany him. No matter what he wants, you must cooperate, including in bed!"
Xu Xia Yuan's eyes widened: "You, what do you mean? I have to go out and accompany a guest? Do, do that kind of thing? What do you take me for!"
Gao Tian flicked his hand and slapped her: "You already have a lover in Jiang City, and you're still pretending to be pure? Let me tell you, that guy named Qin will die by my hands sooner or later!"
He left angrily.
Ah! Could that Mr. Qin have come to Hong Kong?
Isn't this seeking death? This is the Gao family's territory.
Xu Xia Yuan trembled and pulled out a satellite phone from under the bed.
Before leaving Jiang City, she had obtained Qin Ye Xuan's number at the Chinese Medicine Hospital and had been secretly memorizing it.
At this moment, Xu Xia Yuan, risking her life, dialed the number.
On the top floor of the Shanghai Hotel, in a spacious room, Qin Ye Xuan was leisurely reading a book, with a black mask placed beside him.
"Mr. Qin, do you remember me? I'm Xu Xia Yuan."
Qin Ye Xuan grunted: "Miss Xu actually has my number... Is something wrong?"
"If you are in Hong Kong, please leave immediately. The Gao family is targeting you, it's too dangerous here."
Qin Ye Xuan smiled faintly: "I haven't even put a mere Gao family in my eyes yet."
Xu Xia Yuan sighed on the phone: "My fate is thin. The Gao family wants me to go out and accompany guests to do such things... I've made up my mind, I'd rather die than betray myself."
The call was hung up like that.
When Qin Ye Xuan tried to call back, the other side indicated the number was turned off.
He had heard the suicidal intent in Xu Xia Yuan's voice and couldn't help but shake his head.
Should he save her or not?
Just then, the hotel's private phone rang.
"Mysterious mask brother, I heard you're also at the hotel?" Su Ning Shuang's voice came through.
Qin Ye Xuan slowly put on his mask, his voice also disguised: "Yes, it's so late, haven't you rested yet? Take care of yourself. Although you're young, your schedule can't be messed up, or else..."
"What does my resting or not have to do with you? Who are you to me? Only my brother-in-law can talk to me like this!" Su Ning Shuang was very unhappy.
Qin Ye Xuan fell silent.
"Hmph, masked man, since you're here to help me, then there's something we need to do now."
"What is it?"
"I just got news that the Gao family's cruise ship casino is holding a banquet, and they've invited a mysterious big shot. Find a way to get me onto that ship!"
Qin Ye Xuan immediately said: "Half an hour later, meet in the lobby!"
