Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 410: I Surrender, Don’t Shoot

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: I Surrender, Don’t Shoot

On the balcony of the room, Lu Xiao, still steady as an old dog, had begun to consider whether or not to go rescue Yan Yun.

Although they had only known each other for less than a morning, she was... after all, an acquaintance.

And previously on the deck, Yan Yun also helped her out with a little trouble.

It was like, repaying a favor.

"Wow, you little stinker, having tea without me," Liuli Hong’s voice came through, followed by his shadow landing on Lu Xiao’s balcony.

Watching Liuli Hong jump down, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

How old is he, still jumping around like that.

"Finished it?" Liuli Hong picked up the teapot and found it completely empty.

"Yep, that’s why I didn’t call you."

Liuli Hong: ???

Liuli Hong sat down somewhat huffily. Lu Xiao, this little stinker, sure had a deep knack for annoying people.

Finished the tea, so didn’t call me...

Couldn’t you have called me before drinking it?

Bang bang bang bang... the gunfire on the deck continued, even more intense than it had been at the start.

Although the number of enemies was unknown, it was confirmed that their firepower outstripped that of the cruise ship’s security team.

You have to know, there are security checks before boarding a cruise.

So, smuggling so many weapons and bullets as tourists is impossible; it’s more likely there’s an issue with the cruise’s internal management.

Even the possibility of a traitor within the security team, because according to protocol, all weapons are managed by the security team.

"Lu Xiao, aren’t you going to save your new girlfriend?" Liuli Hong suddenly asked.

Lu Xiao’s eyelids twitched. "What new girlfriend! Old Luli, getting on in years isn’t an excuse to spout nonsense."

"I’m not talking nonsense. Didn’t Yan Yun give you her room card up on the ring?"

"Here here here, this one."

"Lu Xiao, you lucky dog! That girl’s not bad at all!"

Liuli Hong began to howl as he pointed at the black room card on the table.

Lu Xiao was full of exasperation: "I just didn’t have time to return it to her!"

"Explaining means there’s something to hide, hiding means it’s the truth. Go on, go after new love. Young people should find the right person through trial and error."

After saying that, Liuli Hong seemed to remember something, "Hey, maybe not, you could probably live to a hundred and seventy-eight years old, no one can accompany you ’til the end of your days. Like me, my old partner passed away early."

Lu Xiao was getting tired of listening; he actually knew what Liuli Hong was doing—he simply wanted him to emotionally detach himself.

Perhaps in Liuli Hong’s view, clinging to Chen Fei would prevent him from progressing in the future.

"To me, every emotion and every conflict in a relationship is a natural part of the process."

"Maybe, as you say, Chen Fei and I will eventually go our separate ways."

"But at the very least, shouldn’t that be determined after I’ve made the effort to catch up?"

"So, stop talking about this," Lu Xiao said, stern and serious.

Liuli Hong took in a deep breath and then sighed heavily.

Lu Xiao’s words, how familiar they felt.

It seemed, just like back then, he had said the same.

But the result, in the end, wasn’t good.

Despite seeming open-minded, full of hope, and determined to pursue the other, in reality, such attitudes only hinder.

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you." Liuli Hong nodded. He’d slowly persuade Lu Xiao later; such matters indeed can’t be rushed.

"But, are you really not going to save Yan Yun?" Liuli Hong pointed to the deck.

On the deck, the guards led by Yan Yun were already at their limit.

The opposing force’s firepower was too strong, and Yan Yun’s team had already been through a skirmish with pirates and didn’t have many bullets left.

"Wasn’t it you who said not to intervene? Wasn’t it you who said to keep a low profile?"

"Just cover your face, isn’t that enough?" Liuli Hong snorted.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes; what’s the difference between saving someone with a covered face and moving in stealth at night.

"Forget it, let’s wait and see. Anyway, Yan Yun won’t die just yet," Lu Xiao shrugged.

Lu Xiao also didn’t say much more. His words were not wrong; the opposition’s gunfire seemed fierce but was mostly for suppression, seemingly intent on capturing alive.

As for the purpose of capturing alive, it was for the women, presumably.

After all, Yan Yun is quite the looker, right?

Just then, there was a violent kick at Lu Xiao’s door.

And two armed and burly men burst in from outside.

On the balcony, after Lu Xiao and Liuli Hong exchanged looks, they raised their hands at the same time.

"Don’t shoot, don’t shoot!" Liuli Hong even shouted twice with a burst of acting skill.

Of course, the other side did not shoot; after all, each tourist was money.

"Move!"

Soon, Lu Xiao and Liuli Hong were taken out of the room.

In the corridor, there was already a long line of tourists being guarded by armed criminals.

Obviously, these people planned to gather all the tourists together and then most likely demand a unified ransom.

As for taking lives, it probably wouldn’t come to that.

After all, there were no grudges, and moreover, killing people would invite a whole lot of trouble.

About thirty minutes later, everyone was taken to the second-floor hall of the cruise ship.

This place used to be a dance hall, used for dance parties at night and such.

Now, it was filled with tourists.

Not only that, but the criminals had also separated the tourists on each floor, probably because the asking price for each level was different.

After all, you can’t expect everyone to fork out millions or tens of millions, can you?

"Quite humane," Lu Xiao muttered to himself.

"Shut up!" Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s murmur, someone immediately scolded him and pointed a gun at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao pursed his lips, then obediently bowed his head.

Forget it, better not stir up trouble.

If he took action and killed all the criminals, he would become a cruise ship hero.

Then certainly someone would take photos and post them on social networks.

In that case, his position would be revealed outright.

Once uncovered, the crackdown from High Court would definitely ensue.

"The deck is secured, all the people have been brought back," At this moment, the door to the hall was pushed open again.

Seven or eight criminals arrived, bringing with them Yan Yun and others.

Yan Yun’s security team was reduced to only five people by now, each one of them bearing injuries.

"Tie them up, place in the center." On the stage at the front of the Dance Hall, a middle-aged man walked out slowly, his tone somber.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Yan Yun immediately got a bit agitated.

"Hel! What are you doing!" Yan Yun bellowed.

The middle-aged man took a puff from the cigar in his mouth, then chuckled as he picked up a chair to sit down, crossing his legs at the knee.

"What am I doing? Obviously trying to make a fortune," he said.

"How much does a security guard make in a year?"

"Robbing this one time, one could live without worries for the rest of their life," Hel said, the corner of his mouth lifting.

To tell the truth, he had been planning the cruise ship hijacking for almost two years.

It was only carried out today, and so far, everything was going smoothly, which filled him with a great sense of achievement.

"In the vast sea, so many sheep ready for slaughter, who wouldn’t be tempted?" Hel shook his head, even beginning to look forward to the future.

According to his estimates, the ransom from this time could bring in at least one hundred million US Dollars.

A hundred million!

Take out twenty million, and he could pocket eighty million.

A whopping eighty million, he could live as lavishly as he wanted for the rest of his life, play with any kind of woman he desired.

Of course, for today, he would start with Yan Yun.
