Chapter 211: Preparations

Luo Ying and Jin Shi exchanged glances.
This latest operation by Lu Wen should have been well-thought-out and well-planned.
Luo Ying was confused. A legitimate economic conflict would have allowed for more civilized tactics. For what reason was it necessary to do this?
He even planned to include bystanders.
Nancy seemed to read the suspicion in Luo Ying’s eyes. With a wide smile, she reassured them. “Don’t worry. We simply wished to extend an invitation to have fun with you guys. Mr. Lu is a great business partner.”
Nancy’s grin was demure and professional, but it was frightening all the same.
“So, if we don’t cooperate, we won’t really have fun?” Jin Shi asked coldly. There was nothing inherently dangerous about what he said, yet the threat he conveyed ran deep.
The cruise ship was about to sail out into the vast ocean. They would have nowhere else to go. If Lu Wen wanted to torment them, he could employ whatever manner he liked without worrying about repercussions.
“There is no doubt in Mister Lu Wen’s mind that you will accept his terms.” Nancy grinned. “I promise that you won’t have to come back here again. You and your companion have two rooms reserved here. I pray that you two have a wonderful time on the ship.”
Each of them also received a black card from Nancy. They had access to the entirety of the ship with this black card.
Luo Ying started assessing the place after Nancy departed.
They had been provided with the two most expensive suites on the penthouse level. Three sides of the rooms had a clear view of the sea, and they had access to modern conveniences.
The size of their accommodation rivaled that of a hotel’s presidential suite.
“Lu Wen is quite intriguing. I thought he was going to discuss something with me today,” Luo Ying said.
Jin Shi sat off to the side and looked at the cruise itinerary booklet to see what new attractions the ship offered.
“He won’t approach you so soon, but that could change.” Jin Shi indicated the red-circled date on the sheet.
Luo Ying read it. The cruise ship had just arrived at Lan City’s harbor.
Luo Ying stared fearfully at Jin Shi, her eyes narrowed. “That’s not gonna happen. Lu Wen assured me that he would not involve Lu Zhao. And I’ve made this point previously. If he includes Lu Zhao, I’m not going to…”
“He will not include Lu Zhao. He will only let Lu Zhao fall into this trap by himself.” Jin Shi raised his head.
It dawned upon Luo Ying. How could Lu Wen waste such an opportunity? He would not use Su Su to trap Luo Ying alone, would he?
Sirius would be caught up in it as well.
And how could Lu Zhao allow his brother to dive into the danger on his own?
A shiver ran up and down Luo Ying’s spine. She had never imagined such a cruel tactic.
“He’s young, but he’s as dangerous as the old man.” Jin Shi sighed. “We have to take this opportunity to socialize. Let’s lighten up for a change.”
The tone of Jin Shi’s voice mellowed somewhat.
He did not like the look of things. Lu Wen was not likely to threaten Lu Zhao or force Lu Zhao to hand up the company.
He suspected that Lu Wen would not settle for such low ambitions. He was likely out to take Lu Zhao’s life.
Luo Ying met Jin Shi’s serious gaze and nodded. “Yes. We must make what we can of this situation.
They returned to their cabins to change into their cruise-standard garb and don face masks.
The majority of the passengers on the cruise ship were wealthy or aristocratic individuals who had little interest in famous people. But to avoid any trouble, the two of them agreed to hide their identities by donning masks.
They started their evening in the basement casino.
In another room on the third level, a certain screen was flashing. Lu Wen sat on a chair in front of the screen and observed what was going on.
Someone pushed open the door. A lady in a black, gold-trimmed suit with well-set hair stood at the entrance. Lu Wen beckoned her to come in.
Nancy stepped in.
When Lu Wen stroked Nancy’s leg, she promptly sat on his lap. She reached out and slung her arm over the guy’s neck.
“How did it go? What did you think?” Lu Wen questioned.
“He did not recognize me. I don’t know why.” Nancy’s sounded a little saddened.
“What a heartless man.” Lu Wen chuckled. “Just stay by my side, and all will be well..”
