【Chapter 297】Shipwrecked

Teacher Zhao Lirong once played Cixi in a sketch, and she said such a line: "Others sit and I stand, others eat and I watch-then this Cixi is too miserable." ”

But for bodyguards, this kind of scene is not only common, but also doesn't feel anything, at least they don't feel miserable.

After the concert, the bodyguards escorted Mrs. Heloise to dinner tea. In order not to disturb her conversation with Mr. Horsen, this time they were standing a little far away from Madame.

Madame and Mr. Horsen had a leisurely conversation over sweet refreshments. The maid serves dutifully on the left and right, and does not leave her.

Ji Haihong was not interested in the conversation between them, and what made him a little concerned was that during the conversation, the two did not communicate for a while, just quietly tasted refreshments.

This quiet atmosphere came very suddenly, and Mrs. Heloise and Mr. Horsen seemed to be talking, and suddenly they were silent in agreement, and were only interested in the snacks in front of them.

Amy's sensitive sense of smell had already recognized the unusual smell, and he had never let his guard down, he didn't believe they would spend so much time leisurely. There is no such thing as a free lunch, whether it is the high employment fee or the sudden appearance of old friends, this lunch is destined to be less complicated.

Before they knew it, the conversation between the two was over. Mr. Fox left alone after taking his leave, while Ji Haihong and Amy escorted his wife back to the guest room.

It was late, but none of the members of the God of War team rested. Captain Ethan held a small meeting in the cabin next to the duplex suite, and Ji Haihong and Amy listened on the radio in the guest room.

"Just received the news that a freighter lost power due to engine problems, and their fresh water and food on board were damaged, and now the nearest big ship to them is the Oasis of the Seas, so the cruise ship will send speedboats to deliver supplies to them before help arrives." Captain Ethan said.

"Will the cruise ship slow down?" Jim, who is good at driving vehicles, asked.

"It's definitely going to slow down, after all, the dinghy has to go and go."

Jim continued, "A few dinghys will be sent." ”

"It should be two, a small boat can't hold much supplies, and the technical experts on the cruise ship will also go to the freighter to check the situation."

"No matter how much the cruise ship helps the freighter, what we have to do is protect Mrs. Heloise during this time," Pate said. ”

"That's right, Pate, you know what to do when the ship's dinghy departs." Captain Ethan said.

Ji Haihong asked: "Why didn't you hear the announcement of the cruise ship?" ”

"This news has just been received, it is late, although many tourists on the cruise ship have not rested, but this kind of news is better to wait for the cruise ship to be ready to be released."

Amy said, "Then we have to be ready for this period. ”

At the end of the meeting, Ji Haihong found the maid and told her about the freighter, and asked her to tell her wife not to worry.

The team members deployed the area around the guest room, and Ji Haihong walked out of the guest room and found that only Pate was missing.

"That kid is going to do his old job again?" Ji Haihong asked.

Dave replied, "Yes, it's pitch black outside now, and the cruise ship has to modify its course slightly to approach the freighter." ”

Ji Haihong came to the outside of the deck and found that although night had fallen, it was not as exaggerated as Dave said. When the moon is in the sky, the stars are shining, the water is rippling, and the shadow of the bright moon is reflected on the sea. The sea breeze blew across the deck, making Ji Haihong can't help but tighten his coat.

From a ship's point of view, the weather tonight was quite good, with very good visibility. What's more, now both luxury cruise ships and small cargo ships are equipped with radar devices, even in the dense fog that you can't see your fingers, it is almost impossible to hit an iceberg like the Titanic.

A clear cue sounded, the cruise ship turned on all the searchlights on board, and the announcer's beautiful voice came out of the radio.

Now, all the tourists know that the cruise ship has to support the freighter.

The searchlights were concentrated in one direction, and the freighter loomed in the silhouette of the halo. Soon, the freighter also responded to the light signal of the cruise ship.

Many onlookers were cheering, and the savior-like feeling made them enjoy.

Ji Haihong stood on the deck and looked down, he turned around and left with disdain.

What does the support freighter have to do with these tourists? The cruise ship will send staff to set off in a small boat, and it has nothing to do with these people watching the excitement. Maybe these tourists can really help in addition to watching the excitement.

However, seeing these tourists happily discussing and scrambling to pick up their cameras to take pictures, no one will believe that they are really sympathetic.

Maybe the next day's news headline is "Oasis of the Seas Support Freighter with Engine Failure," and then these tourists will come back with newspapers and show off to people: Look, I was on this ship at the time.

After the cruise ship slowed down, two fully prepared dinghys set off. White dinghys set off white waves on the pitch-black sea, and tourists shouted and whistled with flashing lights and even glow sticks for performances.

It's like watching a unique show.

After a while, the dinghy returned to the cruise ship. At this time, Ji Haihong had Jim and Christopher around him. Jim used an electronic telescope to observe the condition of the dinghy, the number of people on it had not changed, and the canvas covering the supplies was also laid out at the back of the dinghy.

"Pate, the dinghy is back, how are you doing there."

"I've found the berthing area at the tail of the cruise ship, the terrain has been scouted, and I have seen the dinghy, and the number of people has not changed." Pate responded.

"That's good, return to the team immediately."

"Yes."

Nothing was said all night.

Royal Caribbean Cruises is one of the world's leading cruise lines, with a wide variety of luxury cruises and a wide range of routes. In the days of sailing, not to mention rainy, even windy weather and cloudy days have not been encountered.

After Captain Ethan got up to wash up and inspect his weapons and ammunition, he made his rounds of the deck as usual. At this time, it was also the time for the bodyguards to change shifts, and the empathetic lady had already instructed the maid to make breakfast for them with the kitchen utensils in the suite.

"It's the same kind of fish soup, but it tastes different every morning." Captain Ethan and his team enjoyed breakfast and praised the maid's dishes.

They were joined by Mrs. Heloise. Madame picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth, and said, "That's one of the reasons why I let her stay around, this kid always surprises me." ”

The maid smiled modestly.

"By the way, J, can you go buy something with my maid, I'm not worried about her alone." Madame made a small request.

Ji Haihong said: "But I'm Madame's personal bodyguard, why don't you let the captain send someone to go with Miss Maid?" ”

"I think so too, not only J, but also the other members of the team are professional." Captain Ethan said.

Madame smiled and said, "However, most of the souvenirs I have bought in the past few days have been based on J's suggestions, and I think in this regard, the rest of your team is incomparable." ”

Well said and that makes sense...... Ethan was helpless, and it was very troublesome to let his wife go shopping with him, so he could only let Ji Haihong set off with the maid.

"Where do we go to buy things? What to buy? Ji Haihong asked.

The maid replied, "We are going to the Royal Mile to buy a special food, and Madame is going to take it back to the family to taste." ”

"That's a little too early, we still have three days."

"This is Madame's order."

So, Ji Haihong followed the maid to the Royal Avenue.

The Royal Mile is a half-hull main thoroughfare, located on the sixth deck. From here, you can see directly to the bottom of the thirteen decks. In addition to selling a variety of snacks, there are also many duty-free shops with a wide range of products. The balconies of the cabins on six floors or more are lined up on both sides of the road, and people walk on the avenue as if they were walking among the high-rise buildings of the city.

I don't know if the maid was lost or forgot where that kind of food was sold, anyway, she took Ji Haihong around the avenue a few times, and went to the toilet during the process.

I didn't expect this maid to be a road idiot.

Eventually, the maid found the shop and was able to buy the groceries.

Returning to the safe zone, Ji Haihong and the maid did not immediately go to protect Mrs. Heloise after separating, but came to Captain Ethan's room.

"When I went shopping just now, I found a problem." Ji Haihong said.

Ethan motioned for him to answer.

"On the Royal Mile, I spotted two men in black casual clothes looking at the cabin balconies on either side, and they were very interested in one of them."

Ethan unfolded the deck plan: "Can you determine the location?" ”

"It should be the balcony of the Presidential Suite on the twelfth deck." Ji Haihong easily found the location of those suspicious people from the floor plan. The balconies from the seventh to the twelfth floor are densely packed, and even if you guess from the angle, it is impossible to be so accurate, which also shows that Ji Haihong's observation ability is indeed strong.

Captain Ethan smiled and said, "Coincidentally, this room seems to be Mr. Horse's room." ”

"I haven't met them before, I've never met them before, could they be coming from a freighter?" Ji Haihong asked.

Captain Ethan touched his chin: "It's possible, but it's very difficult, judging from the fact that there has been no movement since last night, they are likely to be hiding in the canvas of the dinghy, or they are in collusion with the crew, and besides, it's not a coincidence." ”

"I know it's not a coincidence......"

"I mean," interrupted Captain Ethan, raising his hand, "this time Madame suddenly wanted to buy some food, and the maid happened to forget which shop you were in, and took you around the Royal Mile four or five times, and then you saw these people, and these people were aimed at Madame's old friend, Mr. Horse, - phew, give me water. ”

Ji Haihong pushed the kettle to the captain.

The captain took the kettle and drank it all, wiping his mouth: "Anyway, Mr. Huo Sen happened to board the Ocean Oasis from the middle of the road in a hurry, J, someone is playing a trick on us." ”
