Chapter 1525 - The European Emperor and the non-emirates (4000 + monthly pass for the second watch)

Gu Nianzhi was delighted to see the possibility of Bai Shuang and Zhao Liangze falling in love again.

She smiled and joked a little before agreeing. “Is there any formal event for me to attend on the cruise tonight? If not, I won’t dress up.”

What she meant was that there was no need to pick out evening gowns.

Bai Shuang quickly said, “That cruise ship has a lot of entertainment facilities. You can watch shows, but there are no formal events. You should be able to handle it with a dress.”

Gu Nianzhi, on the other hand, felt that a dress wasn’t very convenient. Moreover, she had made up her mind to hide behind the scenes. Even if there were formal events, she would avoid them.

“Okay, I get it. What cruise ship is it? Where is it? When do we leave?” Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It wasn’t even eight o’clock in the morning. She still had a whole day to prepare and get a clear picture of the situation on the cruise ship.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Bai Shuang looked at her invitation and ticket. “I’ll send you the invitation and ticket later. You’ll have all the information you need there.”

“That’s great. Thank you, Bai Shuang.” Gu Nianzhi got out of bed happily and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Half an hour later, Bai Shuang knocked on Gu Nianzhi’s hotel door.

Gu Nianzhi saw from the video that it was Bai Shuang, so she quickly opened the door to let her in.

Bai Shuang handed her an envelope. “I won’t be going in. I still have a meeting with Mr. Dresden and Director Zhao at Lawyer He’s. It should be about tonight. Do you want to come with us?”

Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. “I’m just there to make up the numbers. Don’t mind me. You guys go ahead. Just take me out to sea with you tonight.”

Bai Shuang was very regretful, but she had the excitement and enthusiasm of participating in a major event. She placed her hand on Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder, and she whispered, “Thank you, Lawyer Gu. My luck hasn’t been very good, but ever since I met you, my luck has been getting better.”

Gu Nianzhi smiled with her eyes full of mirth. She proudly waved her fist in the air and said, “Of course! Look who I am! I’m someone who has the luck of a European King!”

Bai Shuang smiled and hugged her. “Then I’ll have to suck in your aura as thee hapless one!”

Gu Nianzhi laughed at her words and was in a great mood.

After Bai Shuang left, Gu Nianzhi called for breakfast.

While she was waiting for breakfast, she studied the cruise ship’s invitation and tickets.

The cruise ship was called the Victoria Princess, but it wasn’t an British cruise ship. It was a cruise ship that belonged to M City’s Venetian casino.

It was ten stories tall and had more than a thousand rooms. It could carry three thousand tourists out to sea at the same time.

Although it couldn’t compare to the world’s largest cruise ship, it was still of the upper middle level.

Moreover, it was as luxurious as the world’s largest cruise ship. In terms of unit size, it was even more luxurious than the world’s largest cruise ship.

As soon as Gu Nianzhi found out that the cruise ship belonged to the Venetian casino, her parent company, she immediately speculated that the Princess Victoria cruise ship was a gambling ship.

M City was the “Las Vegas of the east”.

What was Las Vegas?

It was the famous gambling city in the United States.

One could imagine what M City’s main business was.

Then the Victoria cruise, which belonged to the Venetian casino in M City, was most likely a gambling ship.

Gambling was legal in M City, but not in H City.

Therefore, the cruise ship had to sail to the open sea, to an area outside H city that was beyond the jurisdiction of the law, before people could start gambling.

Before that, as Bai Shuang said, people would probably be watching shows.

There were all kinds of large-scale performances, as well as some small entertainment programs.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the introduction of the entertainment facilities on the cruise ship, and it was clear that there were some places for gambling.

She suddenly had some interest.

When she was in the other world, she hadn’t been able to enter the casino because she wasn’t yet 18 years old. Although she had stayed in the United States for half a year, she hadn’t gone to Las Vegas to see the world.

Now that she was 20 years old, there was definitely no problem.

She looked at the poster on the cruise ship’s invitation card.

It was obviously a place for gambling, and those people were probably playing the famous blackjack game.

This method of playing was more suitable for her because it was a gambling method that tested her memory the most.

She wanted to test her photographic memory, and her mental arithmetic ability, which was as fast as a computer, to see if she could make a small profit from this method of playing.

She studied it for a while, and breakfast was delivered.

After eating breakfast in a hurry, Gu Nianzhi spent the whole morning investigating the situation on the cruise ship.

It was a regular cruise ship with a strong police force and security.

In the afternoon, Gu Nianzhi called Lu Yuan again and asked with a smile, “President Lu, are you still in H City?”

Lu Yuan looked at the information in his hands and frowned. He nodded. “I have a party to attend tonight. What’s wrong? You haven’t gone back yet?”

“I’m still staying for two more days. The plane ticket has just been changed.” Gu Nianzhi made the call while quickly catching up on the 21 o’clock strategy.

Lu Yuan thought that Gu Nianzhi wanted to go back as soon as possible, so he quickly said, “Do you want me to call someone? Actually, I still have a private jet here that can be dispatched. Do you want them to send you back?”

Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. “Huh? President Lu, if you have a private jet, why would you buy a commercial plane ticket? Wouldn’t it be better to take a private jet?”

Lu Yuan was at a loss for words. He thought to himself, why would I tell you that Lu Jin wanted to get close to you?

Seeing that Lu Yuan was silent, Gu Nianzhi felt even more assured. She smiled and asked, “President Lu, where’s your brother, Mr. Lu Jin? I haven’t seen him since the banquet the day before yesterday.”

The corners of Lu Yuan’s eyes twitched. This little girl was here to get information from him.

Did she think he didn’t know that Lu Jin had spent the whole day with her at Disneyland yesterday?

Of course, even if he did know, Lu Yuan wouldn’t tell her.

He chuckled and said, “There’s something he needs to take care of in C City. He left last night.”

“Oh.” Gu Nianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that Lu Jin had already left H City and was no longer in this unpredictable place. “That’s too bad. Mr. Lu Jin is approachable, warm-hearted, and thoughtful. He’s such a rare good person.”

Lu Yuan: “...”

Miss, do you have a misunderstanding about the word “good person”?

Lu Yuan smiled but didn’t say anything.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t expect Lu Yuan to reveal anything extraordinary. She smiled and continued, “Bai Shuang invited me to go on the Princess Victoria Cruise tonight. Director Zhao is also coming with us.”

She didn’t mention Dresden because she wasn’t sure how much Lu Yuan knew about Dresden.

Lu Yuan’s smile faded as he stood up from behind his desk. He frowned and said, “You’re going to the Princess Victoria cruise? That’s a gambling ship. You know about it, right?”

“You know about it too?” Gu Nianzhi’s eyebrows twitched. “Are you going to the Princess Victoria cruise tonight as well?”

“No, the party I’m going to tonight is at Senator He’s house,” Lu Yuan said calmly. He remembered that Zhao Liangze would be going with him, and that He Zhichu and He Chengjian had arranged so many bodyguards for Gu Nianzhi, so he wasn’t worried about Gu Nianzhi’s safety.

“Really? No wonder Lawyer He couldn’t find time to spend with Mr. Dresden today. He still needs a newbie like me to help him solve his legal problems.” Gu Nianzhi laughed. “I’m a little worried about the safety of international waters, so I wanted to ask if President Lu is going.”

“Why? Are you still worried?” Lu Yuan laughed and joked with her. “Don’t worry. Although it’s international waters, if someone sells you on international waters, I’ll definitely buy you back!”

“You’re too kind, President Lu. I eat a lot. If you want to buy me back, I’m afraid you’ll have to spend a lot of money.” Gu Nianzhi laughed for a while before hanging up.

If Lu Yuan wasn’t going and Lawyer He wasn’t going, then which international media outlet was Dresden going to meet on the Princess Victoria cruise?

Gu Nianzhi’s hands were itchy. She hacked into the ticket system of the Princess Victoria cruise and got the list of tourists who had bought tickets.

This was only the list of tourists who had bought tickets. If they wanted to transfer the tickets before boarding the ship, they could change the name. In general, it wasn’t as strict as the plane ticket’s rules.

Gu Nianzhi skimmed through it and found that the Princess Victoria cruise had sold more than 2,000 tickets this time. It wasn’t full, but judging from the time of the voyage, which was only one day and one night, these 2,000 tickets were enough.

Gu Nianzhi downloaded the names, addresses, and ID numbers of more than 2,000 people but found nothing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because she didn’t have a database like Huo Shaoheng’s, even if she got the names, addresses, and ID numbers of these people, she wouldn’t be able to quickly find out their occupations.

She struggled for two hours and finally gave up.

No matter what, these people who had bought the tickets all looked very normal, like ordinary tourists anyway.

Therefore, Gu Nianzhi wanted to know which international media outlet was meeting with Dresden, and what other juicy information Dresden had yet to reveal.

...

At six o’clock in the evening, Bai Shuang called Gu Nianzhi. “Lawyer Gu, the car is waiting for you at the entrance of the hotel. Get down quickly.”

Gu Nianzhi grabbed a Phillip Lim dark green mini satchel from the sofa and slung it around her neck.

She was wearing a crisp and simple white Chanel silk blouse with an open collar and a Hermes Square scarf with a dark green and gold sunflower pattern around her neck. The lower hem of the silk shirt was tucked into the waistband of her Yves Saint Laurent’s low-waisted jeans.

She was originally wearing white Bourbon shoes, but when she looked in the mirror before leaving the house, she felt that it was better to change into high heels, which would make her legs look longer.

She found her Manolo Blahnik nude high heels, which matched perfectly with her light wash pencil blue jeans.

This brand of high heels was the most comfortable, so she wouldn’t feel tired no matter how long she stood in them. The protection of her arches was very ergonomic.

Gu Nianzhi was already 1.7 meters tall, so she looked even taller in these eight-centimeter high heels.

She strolled out of the hotel lobby, and the people around her couldn’t help but be attracted to her.

Her long, straight legs were wrapped in extremely close-fitting jeans, and were very eye-catching.

She saw a stretch Cadillac limousine parked in front of the hotel, and her eyes curled up in a smile.

Bai Shuang waved at her from the window. “Lawyer Gu! This way!”

Gu Nianzhi walked over quickly.

The driver quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her.

Gu Nianzhi went in and sat next to Bai Shuang. She smiled and said, “Whose car is this?”

“It’s Lawyer He’s. He lent it to us keep up appearances.”

Zhao Liangze sat opposite Gu Nianzhi and Bai Shuang. He stretched his long legs and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He said teasingly, “Lawyer Gu, you’re dressed really differently today. With two wings on your back, you’ll be like a Victoria’s Secret supermodel on the runway.”
