Chapter 214 Meeting
The man next to Xia Qingluo was wearing a pure white suit, with long golden hair flowing softly. His every move revealed an aristocratic air. Under the black mask, his blue eyes were like the deep sea.
The two men are tall and have long legs. The woman holds the man's arm and they look particularly well-matched walking together.
They are a newlywed couple from Country Y, and the cruise trip is part of their honeymoon.
However, the two are not as harmonious as they seem.
Xia Qingluo pinched a small piece of flesh on Cohen's arm, rotated his wrist, and twisted it in a circle.
Cohen's face was a little stiff. He clamped Xia Qingluo's arm with his arm, trying to remove Xia Qingluo's arm, and kept moving his legs, trying to trip Xia Qingluo.
Only Yan Huan, who was standing behind the two men, could see their little movements clearly. She was terrified that they would lose their masks on the red carpet.
Deep down, Yan Huan actually hoped that she could play the role of a couple with Xia Qingluo.
But the whole world knows that he likes Xia Qingluo. If the fact that he and Xia Qingluo are playing a couple is exposed, it will be disadvantageous to Xia Qingluo.
So in the end we chose Cohen.
Naturally, this proposal was opposed by both Cohen and Xia Qingluo.
But it was impossible for Yan Huan and Cohen to play lovers. Although this kind of thing was normal in Country Y, Yan Huan always felt that something was particularly wrong.
As the cruise ship slowly left the port, the waves gently hit the hull, and the costume party on the cruise ship officially kicked off.
In the banquet hall, crystal chandeliers inlaid with countless diamonds hung from the ceiling, and famous paintings were hung on the walls.
The sounds of music and laughter were intertwined, and the guests' costumes ranged from classical aristocratic costumes to ancient mythology, and even some strange cosplay.
For example...cosplaying as a big, sleek, shiny brown cockroach.
Yan Huan also joined in, responsible for gathering intelligence and constantly communicating with other guests.
Xia Qingluo and Cohen were sitting in a corner. On the surface, they were a young couple enjoying the party, but in fact, they were alert to everyone's every move.
Cohen took a sip of orange juice and said calmly, "The database is located in the captain's office. There are many people guarding there. As tourists, it is difficult for us to sneak in."
"If anyone from Round Table Thirteen wants to enter the database, they will also need at least two representatives standing at the door at the same time to conduct identity verification. This is to prevent traitors from appearing within the Shadow Society and betraying the entire organization."
Hearing this, Xia Qingluo couldn't help but glance at Cohen, "Isn't the traitor right next to me?"
Cohen shrugged, "I'm only helping you for Yan Huan's sake."
I really don’t understand what Yan Huan likes about Xia Qingluo. Isn’t it just that she’s pretty, has some talent in design, and can play games?
If he were a woman, he might be even more charming than Xia Qingluo.
Xia Qingluo did not comment, and said leisurely: "We did not intend to unlock the door of the database in our original plan. Didn't you say that as long as the power system of the entire cruise ship fails and the generator is damaged, the door of the database will not sound the alarm?"
"When the time comes, we can just force the door open."
Another corner of the cruise ship.
Lu Chengyuan stood on the plywood on the second floor, feeling the sea breeze and looking down at every move of everyone in the banquet hall.
After looking for a while, he took out his mobile phone and opened the chat box with Xia Qingluo.
He sent Xia Qingluo several messages, but received no reply.
I don’t know if Luo Luo was attending any social events or was too busy to reply to his message.
They had only been apart for one day, but he already started missing Lolo.
Lu Chengyuan sighed lightly, and had to open the photo album and keep flipping through the old photos.
The twelve members of the Shadow Society did not gather together, but were scattered in various corners.
Their battle plan is to start in China. There are still fifteen days left before they arrive in China, which is the final stop of this cruise trip.
Therefore, during this period, they just needed to enjoy the banquet.
However, the next second, two familiar figures appeared in the center of the ball.
Xia Chengde wore a custom-made pure black dress, while Ming Ruilan wore a velvet black cheongsam and walked to the center of the dance floor.
The masks they wore only covered half of their eyes. The two of them occupied a large territory in the business world of Country Y and were very well-known. They were quickly recognized by people around them.
Many acquaintances came forward to say hello, and the identities of many wealthy businessmen were revealed.
A masquerade is just a chance for everyone to go crazy, and no one cares whether their face is exposed.
But when Xia Qingluo in the corner saw the two of them, she almost sprayed out her juice.
Why were her parents on a cruise?
Xia Qingluo's heart began to beat wildly and her face gradually turned pale.
The Moonlight Sail belongs to the Brown family. It is the territory of the Shadow Society and the most dangerous place.
Could it be that the Shadow Society had already made plans here, and even dragged her parents into the trap?
Thinking back to the time when his parents were kidnapped in his previous life, he begged Xia Wan'er desperately, even asking her not to tell her about her parents' death, and even wanted to take care of her feelings at the last moment before his death...
Cohen stared at Xia Qingluo's jade-white hands. She was holding the wine glass tightly, veins bulging on the back of her hands, and the orange juice in the glass had begun to shake.
Cohen reached out to hold the goblet and lowered his voice to tease, "Do you have Parkinson's?"
Xia Qingluo quickly looked at Cohen, his eyes suddenly turned cold, but what he met was Cohen's expression of 40% confusion and 60% ridicule.
Cohen is a member of the Shadow Society, so she naturally suspected Cohen at the first moment.
But looking at his expression, it seems that he doesn't know that Xia Chengde and Ming Ruilan are her parents.
On the Internet, Xia Qingluo's identity has never been made public. Outsiders only know that she and Lu Chengyuan are childhood sweethearts, and perhaps she has some background, but no one has found out.
In this situation, Xia Qingluo had no choice but to cooperate with Cohen.
Xia Qingluo raised his chin and said, "Xia Chengde and Ming Ruilan are my parents."
"My parents are here, which means that you, the Shadow Society, have already started to take action, but you don't know the Shadow Society's plan. What does this mean?"
Cohen was shocked for a moment, then frowned slightly, "Are you saying I'm isolated?"
"How is that possible? Our family is ranked second in the Shadow Society anyway, and besides..."
Halfway through his speech, Cohen lost his confidence.
Well, he is a traitor, and he might have been discovered long ago.
Xia Qingluo raised the corners of his lips, "So, you'd better choose a side as soon as possible. Now you can only throw the jar into the ground."
Shadow Club is a cannibalistic place. Once a crisis of trust arises, there will be absolutely no mercy between each other.
Cohen can't go back to the Shadow Club now.
Cohen rubbed his eyebrows, feeling very troubled.
Although he had that kind of feeling towards Yan Huan, he had never thought about quitting the Shadow Club.
But what Xia Qingluo said did make sense.
Cohen hesitated for a moment, raised his right hand and clenched his fist, saying, "Happy cooperation."
