Chapter 1943: Pa.s.sive Negotiations

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You won’t have a good ending if you go against Huaxia!”

“We didn’t want to do this either. If we had the choice, who would want to go against Huaxia?”

“But I want to tell you that your boyfriend is very powerful. If it were anyone else, the Central Guards Brigade wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble if they were dead. However, I also hope that you cooperate well. Otherwise, things won’t be good for you.”

After saying that, Chen Canrong tidied his clothes and walked out of the room with Harris.

At the same time, Qiu Yuluo and the man in sungla.s.ses arrived at the 14th floor of the cruise.

At this moment, Qiu Yuluo displayed her powerful intelligence-gathering ability.

She took in everything in front of him.

On the 14th floor were 64 rooms.

But only rooms 1406 and 1408 had dim lights seeping out from under the door.

Qiu Yuluo thought to herself. Ji Qingyan was their hostage, so one could imagine how she was being treated.

Although she could sleep at night, there would definitely be people guarding her.

In that case, there was a high probability that these two rooms belonged to Ji Qingyan!

Other than that, Qiu Yuluo also saw that there were a total of six rooms with someone watching the door.

Rooms 1406 and 1408 had two people standing at the door. The remaining rooms 1407, 1409, 1410, and 1411 only had one person standing guard at the door.

In terms of security, the rooms 1406 and 1408 were especially important.

“Miss Qiu, can you walk quickly?” The man in sungla.s.ses said.

“With your status, you shouldn’t be afraid even if you’re here, right?”

The man’s tone was teasing.

In his eyes, Qiu Yuluo’s actions were due to fear, as if she was intimidated.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Qiu Yuluo had already taken in the situation here and a.n.a.lyzed it in detail.

This was the difference between a genuine combat unit and a ragtag army.

Perhaps there was not much difference in their combat strength, but in terms of attention to detail, the latter were far inferior.

There was another important problem here.

Compared to a regular army like the Central Guards Brigade, these people would all have a sense of blind confidence. They might even be arrogant and lacking humility. This was their main flaw.

“You are not qualified to order me around. Remember your ident.i.ty.”

The man in sungla.s.ses shrugged. “Alright, I won’t have a conflict with you. This is our territory anyway.”

After observing the situation, Qiu Yuluo subconsciously quickened her pace to avoid arousing suspicion.

Soon, Qiu Yuluo was brought to Room 1406.

The layout of the room was the same as the room Chen Canrong was in previously.

She could even smell a faint fragrance.

Qiu Yuluo was arranged to sit on the sofa. The six people who brought her over stood in every corner of the room.

Ever since she came in, they had not said anything to her. They were like mutes.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The electronic door lock in the room emitted an electric sound. Shortly after, the door was opened, and Chen Canrong walked in with Harris.

“h.e.l.lo, Miss Qiu.”

Qiu Yuluo looked at Chen Canrong and realized that he was wearing a mask. The white hair at his temples was dyed black. This cast a shadow over Qiu Yuluo’s heart.

She wasn’t sure if she could bring Ji Qingyan back on her own.

Therefore, at the beginning of the operation, she had a deeper plan.

After figuring out the leader of this operation, he would bring the news back and slowly investigate.

However, the other party clearly did not give her this chance and seemed to have expected this.

“Are you the mastermind of this operation?” Qiu Yuluo asked in a low voice.

“That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with this transaction.” Chen Canrong smiled and said.

“Hand over what we want and you can take her away.”

Qiu Yuluo was unmoved. Even though she was on the enemy’s ship, she remained very calm.

“If you weren’t the mastermind of this operation, there is no need for us to talk.”

“I don’t think you have the right to negotiate with me. I have the hostage.”

“Then go and kill her. I’ll leave first.” Qiu Yuluo stood up calmly and said calmly.

“I’m from the Central Guards Brigade. You should know our way of doing things. Lin Yi is already dead. Saving that woman is just a favor, not a duty. You should know your priorities.”

Chen Canrong’s expression darkened. Qiu Yuluo’s att.i.tude was something he had not expected.

As expected of a captain-level figure, she was even harder to deal with than he had imagined.

“I understand what you mean, but the way you speak makes me feel like you’re threatening me,” Chen Canrong said.

“Even though this is the Victoria, our people have taken control of the ship. Even if you don’t consider the safety of the hostages, you should consider your own safety.”

“My safety?” The corners of Qiu Yuluo’s mouth curled up into a disdainful smile. “If I die, the Central Guards Brigade will deal with all of you before you get off the ship. You can underestimate me, but don’t underestimate the Central Guards Brigade.”

“Alright, I can fulfill your request.”

After saying that, Chen Canrong raised his head. Harris, who was standing beside him, picked up the laptop phone next to him and connected it to the television on the wall.

A few minutes later, a person with his back facing him appeared on the television.

Qiu Yuluo frowned. She could only see that the other party was very thin and didn’t seem to be very old.

The only useful information she gathered was that he had black hair and seemed to be Terran.

Around him was nothing but white walls.

However, the thing that made Qiu Yu the most surprised was that she could not even be sure if the man in the video was really on the ship!

This was very important information. If she did not grasp it well, it might lead to huge problems.

“h.e.l.lo, Ms. Qi. Welcome to the Victoria.”

The man in the video said. He was Fang Dezong’s son, Fang Shihong!

Surprisingly, he spoke in English with a normal Lundun accent, as if he had previously lived abroad.

However, this didn’t mean anything, because there were many Terrans who were born and settled overseas.

“There’s no need to welcome me. Let’s be honest and get down to business,” Qiu Yuluo said in Chinese.

“Don’t make the atmosphere so tense. It’s not good for the negotiations,” Fang Shihong said slowly. “We should relax a little, what do you think, Team Leader Qiu?”

“Then I wish you the best of luck in staying relaxed. Because your actions are provocative. You should know what you’re doing.”

“Of course I understand, but we had no choice. The serum is very important to us. You took our things, so we naturally have to take them back.” Fang Shihong said.

“At all costs!”
