Chapter 279: Lifeboat
âMiss Mo Li, the young master told me to come to protect you. He was afraid that you might not be able to sleep well without protection. Which is why Iâm dressed like this.â Ah Si spoke seriously but it was very hard to take him seriously in a dress.
âBut what about him?â After all, a number of people targeted Quan Yu. If Ah Si was with Mo Li, who would protect Quan Yu?
âAh Zhong and the other people are with the young master. We also have our people disguised as staff.â The woman before him might be his future female boss so Ah Si didnât hide anything.
âSpeaking of, why are you people on the cruise?â Mo Li asked after she sighed in relief. Quan Yu didnât strike her as a man who would attend this kind of event.
âWe have a batch of goods that was intercepted. Our investigation revealed that it was the Han family who was behind it. The young master has made several requests to meet with the master of the Han Family but they didnât give the young master face. So young master decided to come to meet him directly. The master of the Han Family was on the guest list but strangely enough, we have not seen anyone from the Han Family on the cruise.â
Ah Si told Mo Li half of the truth. Things like how the Han Family had intercepted the goods, he didnât say, after all, this involved the Quan Familyâs private matter and Mo Li shouldnât need to know that.
With regards to why Mo Li was on the cruise, Ah Si already knew. He was impressed by her guts. If their young master was physically sound, they would make a good pair. âMiss Mo Li, donât worry. The young master has already sent people to check out the 8th and 9th floors. Weâll do our best to save your brother.â Ah Si said when he saw how worried Mo Li was.
Mo Li nodded but she had to take a deep breath when she saw Ah Siâs painted face and the dress he was wearing. âIâm taking the bed and youâre taking the sofa.â Mo Li turned to the toilet because she couldnât look at Ah Siâs face anymore.
â¦
The next day, Mo Li noticed there were conspicuously fewer models on the cruises.
Ah Si provided Mo Li with some menâs clothes. She pulled her hair back and she looked like a young man.
Ah Si was facing the biggest challenge of his career. He sat cautiously on the couch. Ah Si waited outside Mo Liâs room while she changed. Suddenly he was dragged by a large man into one of the rooms. Ah Si was forced into the chair and was invited to join a tea party.
âLittle sister, nice to meet you. Iâm Ting Ting, thatâs Xue Xue, Duo Duo, and Tang Tang. Weâre good sisters. We are not interested in the party on the cruise but we were invited to provide entertainment, mind you, the actual kind! But Iâm so glad to run into another like-minded spirit. I like your muscles, theyâre so beautiful.â The large man called Ting Ting pulled Ah Si over. âWe need to take a selfie!â
To hide his identity⦠Ah Si forced himself to play along with the drag queens.
âThis is so annoying! The app that the host told us to download blocks all video and photo functions on our phones. Or else Iâll be uploading the pictures on the internet right now.â
âHuh? What app?â Ah Si frowned. That is a strange request.
âExcuse me, girls. Here are some afternoon tea and snacks.â Mo Li lowered her voice and pushed in a cart of cakes.
âThis is the app! You werenât told to download it?â Ting Ting grabbed a cup of coffee and drank it. He showed the app to Ah Si.
âOh, the cakes are so cute!â The other drag queens gasped at the cakes. They all took a bite.
Ah Si silently nudged towards Mo Li and reached for one of the cakes. âThankfully youâre here, or elseâ¦â
âDonât eat.â Mo Li warned.
Soon the drag queens fainted.
âMiss Mo Li⦠Youâ¦â
âDonât worry, itâs just common sedative. They will wake up in 2 hours.â
âThen we need to leave now.â Ah Si removed the dress and put on the waiterâs outfit that he had prepared beforehand.
They raced towards the lifeboat. Since they had no signal, Mo Li had no idea if Mo Yun had received her messages or not.
Just as they stepped into the boat, a man shouted, âHey, what are you two doing on the lifeboat?â
