"It can't be without news!" Jiang Haitao searched the Internet like crazy, but the reality disappointed him again and again. Seeing that it was completely dark, the hungry Jiang Haitao had to leave the room and go to a small restaurant near the motel to eat.

It's a typical American diner, with a long counter on one side and a row of modest tables and chairs by the window on the other. A waitress in her forties is busy in the restaurant, while the owner-chef is busy at the counter, preparing a variety of food for the few customers.

A television set hangs above the counter and is playing local news from Channel Seven. The guests sat at the table in twos and threes, eating their food, unconcerned about what was being broadcast on the TV.

When Jiang Haitao was in the National Security Bureau, he often went to foreign countries to work in the field, and such an environment was not unfamiliar to him. He sat down at an empty table, ordered a burger and a Coke from the waitress in fluent English, and waited for his dinner.

"What's going on, it shouldn't be like this. Jiang Haitao habitually watched the news, and all kinds of thoughts in his mind kept turning: "The gun is dumb fired? Impossible, one of the three bullets will always go off! Shooting will be postponed? No, all the personnel are already in place, unless the studio is on fire, it is impossible to postpone." Otherwise, I'd have been caught red-handed. What is that for?"

Just when Jiang Haitao was puzzled, an entertainment news began to play on the TV in the restaurant, and the well-dressed news anchor reported to the audience: "Everyone, the following is news from Fox Films. As we all know, the great director Cameron is currently working on his next film, which is currently being filmed intensively at the Fox Film studio. An unfortunate incident occurred at noon today on the filming site......"

"It's coming. This moment has finally been waited for by me!" Jiang Haitao stared intently at the TV, excitedly waiting for the anchor to continue.

But in addition to the excitement. Jiang Haitao also vaguely felt that something was wrong. If it's really news like "the actress was killed by a prop gun on the set", the anchor should also appear very excited. Or at least a little sadness. And now the anchor is so calm that it doesn't look like he's broadcasting an explosive piece of news at all.

Just when Jiang Haitao was worried, the anchor had already continued: "There was an accident at the filming site, which caused the filming progress to be blocked. Fortunately, except for the injury of one of the crew members in charge of the props, the accident did not cause any other casualties. The staff member is currently in stable condition and doctors believe that he is not in life-threatening condition. Fox announced the suspension of filming, rechecked the crew's safety measures, and will continue to ......"

Jiang Haitao didn't listen to what was going on at all, and he stood up in despair. Sweeping the food in front of him to the ground and angrily yelling, "This can't be!

Jiang Haitao's crazy behavior immediately attracted the other customers to look at him, and the restaurant owner also poked his head out of the counter and asked loudly, "What's the matter?!"

Facing the unscrupulous gaze of the restaurant owner and the waiter, Jiang Haitao hurriedly took out a dollar and put it on the table, and said in a panic: "I'm sorry, my hand slipped a little!"

Seeing that the dollar was in a denomination of fifty dollars, the visiting boss's face looked a little better, and he retracted his head and said no more. Jiang Haitao didn't even bother to eat, and ran back to the room as fast as he could. He began to search the Internet for various news related to this "shooting accident".

At first, Jiang Haitao still held on to the last hope, hoping that this was Fox blocking the news in order to reduce the impact. Naturally, this kind of thing is not difficult for Jiang Haitao, he easily hacked into the local hospital and the police's intranet, and began to look for news that the young woman had been shot.

However, the more Jiang Haitao investigated, the more cold he became. He couldn't find any news related to Hu Mei at the police station or hospital. All kinds of clues show that Hu Mei is indeed not injured, and the content of that news report is basically correct!

Such an ingenious arrangement actually failed. This made Jiang Haitao about to go crazy. However, he used to be an agent after all, and his psychological quality is still very strong. It didn't take long for Jiang Haitao to calm down. Hands darting on the computer keyboard, soon hacked into the Beverly Hills Hotel's internal network.

"Let's take a look. What are you going to do these days......" Jiang Haitao muttered to himself as he checked the content on the screen, and finally found the information he wanted.

The computer screen clearly showed that Song Lei, a guest staying in room 1205, had rented a yacht called "Mary Rose" through the hotel just an hour earlier. The yacht will set sail at noon tomorrow, and Song Lei has not hired any crew, it seems that Hu Mei plans to sail the boat himself.

Seeing this information, a sneer appeared on Jiang Haitao's gloomy face, and he said substantially: "The sea...... It's a good place to bury, and since you love the sea so much, then I'll fulfill you!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Haitao quickly dialed the phone and said to the other party in a deep voice: "It's me, I want a set of diving equipment and a pair of underwater propulsion." Yes, the sooner the better, I'll pick up the goods from you at midnight today, okay!"

Jiang Haitao, who finished making the call, slowly lit a cigarette, his eyes flashed with murderous intent in the smoke, and he was determined to get rid of Hu Mei on the sea.

At noon the next day, Xiao Ping, Hu Mei and Song Lei boarded the Mary Rose. The Mary Rose is a 20-metre yacht with all the amenities you need to stay safe even when you're deep into the ocean. On such a calm day, it is the dream of many Americans to spend a few days at sea on such a boat.

After a brief training, Xiao Ping was already able to fly the Mary Rose relatively proficiently. After driving the yacht out of port, he slowly drove out into the wide sea outside the port.

In this weather, there are quite a few ships in this area. Most of them are small boats, and there are even kayakers paddling their dinghy in front of the sea, making the sea look very lively.

Xiao Ping steered the boat carefully away from this crowded sea area and unhurriedly headed towards the wider open sea. It was farther from the coast and there were far fewer boats.

After more than an hour's journey, the Mary Rose was surrounded by the sea, and there was no trace of land on the horizon, and not a single ship was in sight nearby.

But just a few nautical miles away from the Mary Rose, a motorboat kept following it. The only passenger on the dinghy was Jiang Haitao, who looked gloomy. (To be continued......)
