Chapter 851: Someone Escaped! Imbalance
Just before Xiao He could proceed with his plan, a commotion broke out outside.
"Knock, knock—"
Immediately after, someone knocked on the door.
"Sorry, President Bao, something happened outside. We might need your decision—"
"Knock, knock—"
The cabin door knocked with a dull thud. The soundproofing wasn't great, so the voice outside could be heard clearly enough.
Xiao He quickly scanned the room, fell silent for a moment, then picked up the mask placed on the sofa and walked to the door to open it.
In front of the door, the attendant stepped back upon seeing the door open and bowed slightly to the person in front of him. However, when he looked up again, he realized that the person in front of him seemed a bit off...
It should be right, right?
The attendant blinked, feeling that the President Bao in front of him seemed a bit taller and his physique was better, but at first glance, it didn't seem like there was any change; he was still the same as before.
It was just that his temper was as bad as ever—
"What is it? Spit it out, don't disturb my rest."
The person behind the door scolded impatiently in a cold voice.
"Ah, sorry, President Bao, it's like this. Just now, a guest said that a cargo was missing from their room. It might have been an accident, and someone escaped. Now, the entire lower level has been locked down and searched, but we haven't found the person yet. I don't know if you need to report this to the people upstairs to come down and help search?"
Most of the people maintaining operations on the lower level were President Bao's own people. To distance himself and ensure his own safety, Bao Xingsheng did not send anyone down to take over or intervene, so this part of the personnel still needed to be managed and controlled by President Bao.
Another main reason, naturally, was because this was the Cruise Ship.
Being on his own ship, doing his own business, Bao Wenyin felt quite relaxed deep down.
After all, no matter how powerful someone was, they couldn't just run onto his ship and run wild, right?
Were they not afraid of being thrown directly into the High Seas to feed the fish?
Therefore, compared to the strictness and caution of other high-end criminal venues, their illegal business on the ship was not as tense.
This led to someone actually seizing the opportunity and the gap to run out.
But what was the use of her running out?
On the massive Cruise Ship, there would simply be no place for her to hide.
Sooner or later, she would be found.
Hearing about this sudden unexpected situation, Xiao He was also quite shocked.
But he quickly reacted and scolded sternly: "Then you go continue looking! And haven't you already locked down the lower level? There is only one entrance and exit here. No matter how blind you are, it's impossible for her to have run to the upper level, right? This matter must absolutely not reach the people above! Hurry up and continue looking for the person for me."
"And what about the surveillance? Even if there isn't any in the corridor, there is always surveillance at the entrance and exit, right? Can't you go check the surveillance yourselves? What's the use of coming to me? Do you expect me to ask a master to calculate where the person went for you?"
Afterward, he couldn't help but curse a few more times, directly scolding the attendant until he couldn't lift his head, bowing and backing away as he left.
After the person had walked far away, Xiao He frowned again.
Just as he said, they had only left one entrance and exit for this lower cabin.
However, this did not mean that there was only one door to the cabin.
After all, the lower cabin itself was well-connected. Its original purpose wasn't to host this kind of shady underground Feng Shui gathering. So, although these guys only opened one door because of the event and locked all the other entrances and exits, there were still many actual access doors.
The situation now is, where did that girl who escaped go? And where is she hiding?
If she is caught, I fear the outcome will be tragic...
Xiao He couldn't help but feel worried.
He had already roughly looked through the information of these people on the ship just now.
These victims, who were forcibly brought here to serve as fortune-turning beads, were mostly decent people. Their lives before were the same as countless ordinary people living in China. They rarely came into contact with these dark sides of crime, let alone having the ability to protect themselves and escape after experiencing this series of tortures.
This was already an incredibly impressive feat!
However, it was also clear that her current act of escaping had also, to a certain extent, broken the balance and tranquility currently on the ship.
Now that a huge change had occurred, he should act sooner rather than later in everything he did.
Otherwise, Xiao He was very worried that the girl's safety could not be guaranteed!
So, after thinking for a moment, Xiao He immediately picked up the mobile phone belonging to Bao Wenyin on the table, quickly hacked into his account, and sent a message to the relevant people.
【Bao Wenyin: Someone is missing on the ship. Find someone else and send them on board. Soothe the customers' emotions in time. Also, prepare the second batch for me immediately. Today's feedback is very good, and I plan to hold the second half directly together.】
The message he sent was quickly responded to: 【Understood, but has Master Wensa's ritual been completed? If the two rounds are held together, he might be too busy.】
Ritual?
Xiao He looked down at Wensa by his feet, as well as the mess of ghost symbols drawn on the floor with blood over there, and couldn't help but let out a cold sneer from his nose.
【Bao Wenyin: The master is still busy. Why? Are you worried about whether he's tired when it comes to making money?】
Based on Xiao He's observation of their chat, the other party's attitude towards this Bao Wenyin was still quite respectful, while Bao Wenyin spoke much less politely. After all, he was a wealthy big client; who would go against money?
Therefore, his mocking counter-question did not arouse the other party's suspicion. The other party even immediately stated that they would send a new person over immediately and guaranteed that they would satisfy 'Bao Wenyin'.
Xiao He gave a Hehe laugh again, then couldn't help but kick the two people on the floor again.
One kick each, absolutely fair.
Bao Wenyin, this fragile person, didn't even hum, fainting completely dead. However, the master let out a muffled groan, his brows knitting tightly, and he actually showed signs of waking up again.
Xiao He took a look and kicked the back of the other person's neck again.
Immediately, the person's body went limp, and he fell unconscious again.
Xiao He didn't bother with him, but instead stared at the message from the person in charge on his phone while conceiving a map in his mind.
The room from which the girl escaped was at the other end of the corridor.
According to his exploration of this lower level just now, it was highly probable that the other party would...
Xiao He closed his eyes, his brain racing, and finally locked onto one route.
So, when he opened his eyes again, he immediately used Bao Wenyin's phone to contact a series of people, arranged for them all to disperse, and conducted a forced search of several customers' rooms.
As for the conflicts and chaos caused during the search, what did that have to do with him?
He just needed to delay the pace of these people's search.
Now, he only hoped that the person who escaped was hiding in the location he guessed—
