On the vast high seas, heavy rain is like injection, turbidity waves are surging, the luxury cruise ship with a displacement of 20,000 tons is moored in the distance like a floating island on the sea with bright lights, the bandits on the speedboat wipe the rain on their faces, showing a greedy smile, the driver turned off most of the motives, leaving only one running, and the lower degree was slowly pasted up, and gradually you can see the name of the ship painted on the white hull, the Empress of the East, what a noble and mysterious name, it won't be long before this empress will become a prisoner of the bandits.

On the cruise ship, the prosperity is still the same, due to the rain, there are no tourists on the deck, in the cockpit, the captain and a few senior crew members sit on high chairs and chat, the weather is bad tonight, some small yachts are urgently returning to the port, but for a 20,000-ton giant ship, this sea condition is really nothing, and the cruise ship goes to sea once The cost is as high as 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, if it is because of the rain and wind, the loss is too great.

The gambling ship named the Queen of the East is registered in Cyprus, registered by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, is an international cruise ship, purchased by Mr. Cheng Guoju three years ago, since then fixed dock at Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, every night from five to seven o'clock to start boarding, settled on the ship, after eating a sumptuous buffet, set sail for the high seas at nine o'clock, do a destinationless port voyage, gambling ships strictly abide by the law and discipline, never gamble in Hong Kong's territorial waters, after about an hour of sailing, arrive on the high seas before opening the gambling hall for business, at the same time on board the restaurant, kTV, Sauna massage, cinemas, etc. are all open, but they are all ancillary industries of gambling halls, which are actually operating at a loss, and they are open until five or six o'clock in the morning to return to the ship, and arrive at the dock at about seven o'clock, and the white-collar workers among the gamblers do not delay work.

There are 50 crew members on board, 150 service personnel, including managers, security guards, dealers, cooks, waiters, massage girls, dancers, etc., these people come from all over the world, there are mainland employees, Hong Kong employees, Malays, Indonesians, Europeans, everyone is rushing for money, when the business is good, the dealer's tip can be tens of thousands a day, and the shipowner makes more money.

Usually the shipowner does not participate in the operation, only charges rent, sometimes a little commission, but the Oriental Empress is Cheng Guoju personally in the operation, the income of the gambling ship in Cheng's industrial structure, is an indispensable and important part, over the years Hong Kong people's income has decreased, the customer base of the gambling ship has gradually changed, mainly to receive guests from the mainland, these people are wealthy, spend a lot of money, much stronger than the shabby Hong Kong people, but also take this opportunity to meet some mainland heavyweights, Cheng Guoju in the mainland investment real estate partners, It's a friend he met on a gambling boat.

The rain is pouring outside, the cabin is warm and comfortable, the raindrops hit the round porthole, and the outside is jet black, which gives people a sense of security, this is the hottest moment of the gambling hall business, the guests are endless, the dealers wearing tight white shirts and colorful vests are skillful in playing cards, the baccarat table, the gamblers are boldly betting, and the people who can come here to play are high-rollers who are worth a lot of money, sometimes winning or losing tens of millions of dollars in one night, and they do not blink.

Brother Hao walked over surrounded by four bodyguards, during this time the police always came to find trouble, Cheng Guoju simply sent Ah Hao to the ship to do things, in fact, there was no work to do on the ship, he didn't understand the ship sailing, and he didn't understand the operation of the gambling hall, just to help see the field.

When the waiters who shuttled back and forth saw Cheng Guohao, they all respectfully shouted Brother Hao, Brother Hao just nodded carelessly, although the gambling boat was fun, it was a little boring for him.

"Bang" Brother Hao snapped his fingers, and immediately a waiter sent a glass of martini, Brother Hao took it up and drank it, and walked into the general monitoring room, where there is a camera screen that monitors the whole ship, you can see the movement of each gambling table, it is the most confidential place on the ship, only a few people can be allowed to enter, even Brother Hao's bodyguards can not enter.

The staff in the "Brother Hao" monitoring room saw the big boss's younger brother come in and hurriedly got up to say hello.

Brother Hao found a chair and sat down, lit a cigar and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Everything works." As soon as the staff finished speaking, the internal phone rang.

The staff answered the phone, and after a few sounds, he said, "Brother Hao, there is something wrong with the housekeeping department, and a dance lady has an argument with the guest." ”

"!" Brother Hao snuffed out the cigar on the console, and immediately rushed to the housekeeping department, in the boring night, it is not a bad thing to have something to do, at least it can add a little fun to the journey.

The guest rooms of the gambling ship are luxuriously decorated and well-equipped, and the accident is a high-rise luxury suite, a short and fat middle-aged man stood in the corridor with an annoyed face, scolding unrelentingly, there were several service staff standing next to him, and a slender woman smoking a cigarette indifferently.

"Don't play, don't play, return the money, what kind of service attitude, it's rubbish!" The middle-aged man roared menacingly, and Brother Hao, who walked out of the elevator door, couldn't help frowning, but when he saw the man's face clearly, his expression changed.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Brother Hao knows that this short and fat guy is from the tobacco bureau of a city in the mainland, and he is a wealthy character, and he wins or loses about one million every time, and this kind of money owner can never afford to offend.

Director Zhang still shook his hand: "Don't play, go back!" ”

Brother Hao hooked his hand at the foreman next to him: "What's the matter?" ”

The foreman came over with his ears and said that the thing under Director Zhang was not good, and it didn't work out a few times, and he was ridiculed by the young lady, it was not a big deal, Brother Hao didn't speak with a dark face, looked at the casual young lady next to him, and suddenly opened the bow left and right and pumped her four big mouths, and the blood was pumped out on the spot, and the young lady was knocked to the ground and shouted for mercy, Brother Hao took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his hands, and said to the bodyguard lightly: "Throw it in the sea to feed the fish." ”

The two bodyguards put the young lady with a bloody face out, Brother Hao is not bluffing, but really wants to do this chick who doesn't know the height of the sky, it is really a common thing to disappear one or two people on the gambling boat on the high seas, pinching a young lady to death is no different from pinching an ant to death.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, come here, take 50,000 chips." Brother Hao beckoned, and someone immediately sent chips, which made Director Zhang a little embarrassed, and said, "Okay, I'll give Brother Hao face, and forget it." ”

……

The speedboat was close to the hull of the cruise ship, jolting with the undulations of the waves, the rain was falling, and the person was wet, and the driver took off his helmet and revealed his true face, it turned out that he was Liu Ziguang's colleague Zhao Hui.

Liu Ziguang took out a spear-like object from under the bridge, shot at the high side of the cruise ship, threw the cable up with a whizz, hung it on the railing of the ship's side, dragged it, strong enough, Liu Ziguang waved his hand, Chu Xiangdong pulled out a dagger from his waist and put it in his mouth, and was the first to climb up, although there would be no one on the deck in this sea condition, but Zhang Baiqiang still held an automatic rifle to cover below.

After Chu Xiangdong climbed up, he looked around vigilantly, didn't see anyone, stretched out his hand and made a safe gesture, and then pulled out his pistol and half-squatted on the ground to cover, and someone continued to climb up below.

The four bandits all climbed up, and Hu Rong was about to climb up, but was pulled by Liu Ziguang: "You stay." ”

"Why should I stay!" Hu Rong stubbornly grabbed the rope and didn't let go.

Surprisingly, this time Liu Ziguang did not scold her as before, but said calmly: "You still have a future, it's better not to get involved in this kind of thing." ”

Hu Rong was stunned, she didn't expect this conscienceless guy to care so much about herself, and she couldn't help but let go of her hand holding the cable.

"Lao Zhao, I'm going up." Liu Ziguang nodded at Zhao Hui.

"Be careful yourself." Zhao Hui stretched out his hand and made a V-shaped gesture, lit a cigarette, and smoked it tastefully.

After Liu Ziguang also climbed up, the action began, and the five people came to the hatch door alternately, and were just about to go up and flip the switch, when suddenly the hatch opened from the inside, and the light shot out, illuminating the rain and fog outside, and two big men in suits walked out with a thinly dressed woman, the woman cried and cried and begged, and only one slap was given to her.

Zhang Baiqiang, who was hiding in the dark, opened his mouth, Chu Xiangdong suddenly appeared at the door, and the bodyguard was stunned when he saw the stranger wearing a camouflage uniform and a hood, and he was stunned at this moment, a sharp dagger slashed his throat, and a stream of blood flew out and floated on the deck, which was quickly diluted by the rain.

The bodyguard clutched his throat and fell, and the bodyguard behind him hurriedly drew his gun, but was stabbed in the waist with a saber by Lu Hai, who was hiding behind the door, and stirred it again.

The two corpses were thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish, the unlucky woman was already frightened, looking at the group of masked people with pleading eyes, unable to speak with tears in her eyes, Zhang Baiqiang made a gesture, Chu Xiangdong turned the butt of the gun and knocked it on the back of the woman's head, knocking her unconscious and throwing her aside.

In the cockpit, the officers sat leisurely on high chairs, looking at the radar screen from time to time, the first mate yawned, ready to go out to smoke a cigarette, but as soon as he went out, he retreated, and everyone in the cabin looked at the door, only to see two masked men wearing camouflage uniforms and holding firearms appeared in the cockpit.

The first mate subconsciously pounced on the maritime phone, and the camouflage uniform raised his hand very casually and shot it, hitting the first mate's arm, so painful that he fell to the ground and wailed.

"Don't move, think about your family if you want to be a hero." The camouflage uniform put the gun back into his waist and said in standard Mandarin, the crew all raised their hands, and no one dared to move, and the calmness of the bandits made them creepy.

The camouflage uniform seemed to be familiar with the ship, and went directly to the bridge, smashed the high-frequency radio, whistle, light control and other instruments with the handle of the gun, and then threatened the captain with a gun and said, "Call the security guards." ”

The captain looked at him hesitantly, picked up the microphone and said, "Security room, security room, someone has invaded the cockpit, please send someone over immediately." ”

The camouflage uniform nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." ”

After a while, eight security guards in black suits came from the stern of the boat, when they walked to the corridor near the bridge, they were suddenly subjected to fierce fire, AK47 was beating happily in Zhang Baiqiang's arms, the scorching bullet casings fell on the carpet, eight security guards were killed on the spot, the corpses were lying all over the corridor, Zhang Baiqiang blew the smoke from the muzzle of the gun, turned around and left.

In the stern gambling hall, two security guards were smoking at the door, and suddenly heard a strange sound from the direction of the bow of the boat, and immediately became alert.

"What sound?"

"It's like a gun."

"Is there any mistake, which gambler came up with a gun?"

"Let's take a look."

As soon as they walked out a few steps, a person came over to them, raised his hand and shot two shots in the center of his eyebrows, and the two security guards planted them on the ground without saying a word.

The masked man rushed into the gambling, and without saying a word, he shot at the ceiling, and the shotgun was very loud, and the deterrent effect was amazing, and immediately caused a scream, and some clever gamblers immediately slipped towards the other exit, but they immediately retreated like a tide, because there were also armed bandits at the other exit, and there was a corpse in their hands.

The bloody corpse was thrown onto the baccarat table, the smashed cards and chips flew wildly, and the bandit pushed and pulled the sleeve of the shotgun and shot it at the ceiling again: "All crouch!" ”
