Chapter 1944: Cautious Action

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Facing Fang Shihong’s firm determination, Qiu Yuluo remained unmoved.

As a leader of the Central Guards Brigade, her heart was already as hard as steel.

“We took the C-class serum back from Fosse. Black Snake has a life-and-death grudge with us. This doesn’t seem to have much to do with you.” Qiu Yuluo mocked.

“You even handle this for them. Your after-sales service is too good.

“It’s already so late. It’s not appropriate for us to talk about such meaningless things. Let’s get to the point like you said.”

Through a simple exchange, Fang Shihong realized that Qiu Yuluo was not someone he could deal with with with just a few words.

Since that was the case, he might as well get down to business as soon as possible.

“If you’re willing to make a deal with us, you can start now,” Fang Shihong said.

“If you’re unwilling, we’ll let you off the ship and guarantee your safety. Please choose, Ms. Qiu.”

Qiu Yuluo stopped talking. The other party had no intention of continuing the stalemate and insisted on their next steps.

Moreover, it was clear that they did not really want to be enemies with the Central Guards Brigade. They just wanted to take back the C-class serum.

“I want to see the hostage.”

“Of course.”

Harris, who was standing at the side, was operating the computer. The scene quickly changed to Ji Qingyan’s room.

Qiu Yuluo realized that just like her, she was sitting on the sofa and wasn’t abused by her captors.

“Miss Qiu, we have met your demands, and we hope you will make a decision soon,” Chen Canrong said.

Qiu Yuluo did not insist on speaking with Fang Shihong, knowing he was more resolute and unyielding than the man in front of her.

To gather more clues, the middle-aged man in front of her seemed the better choice.

Unfortunately, Harris switched the screen back, thwarting Qiu Yuluo’s plans.

“If you have any more demands, feel free to state them. We are here with sincerity,” Fang Shihong said.

“We can exchange the hostage for other things, but not the C-class serum.”

“We don’t need anything else,” Fang Shihong said.

“And there are no other options for compromise in this matter. I’ll give you another half minute. If you can’t decide by then, I’ll have you taken off the ship, and our negotiations will end here.”

Qiu Yuluo’s face darkened, her expression extremely grim.

The situation was gradually slipping out of her control.

“I came here with sincerity, but you know better than I the importance of the C-class serum. I didn’t bring it with me. Your people will need to come with me to retrieve it.”

“Miss Qiu, you are not charming at all behaving like this. It’s quite a mismatch with your appearance and figure,” Fang Shihong said with a smile.

“I won’t send anyone over, giving you the chance to pick us off one by one. The Victoria will arrive at the island port at 3:28 PM tomorrow, and that is the final chance for the exchange. If you truly want to take that woman away, bring the C-class serum. We won’t come to you.”

“I’m just being cautious.”

“I know the Central Guard Brigade, so I won’t agree to your request,” Fang Shihong said.

“Now, your half minute is up. You don’t seem to want to trade with us. Escort her out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen abruptly went blank. Fang Shihong had cut off the connection.

Chen Canrong stood up and made a gesture for her to leave, no longer wasting words with Qiu Yuluo.

Qiu Yuluo knew she was in an extremely passive situation, being completely led by the nose.

The meticulousness of their opponents’ planning was terrifying.

With no other choice, Qiu Yuluo stood up and left the room.

But just then, a thought seemed to occur to her, and a strange gleam appeared in her eyes.

After walking out of the room, Chen Canrong did not follow Qiu Yuluo. Instead, the six people from before sent her away.

Qiu Yuluo did not panic and took out her phone.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Canrong’s subordinate immediately said,

“Ms. Qiu, this is the Victoria. No communication devices allowed.”

“Aren’t you being too nosy?” Qiu Yuluo said coldly.

“This is my phone. Can’t I use it? There are more than 1,300 people on the ship now. Can you restrict everyone from using their phones?”

“We won’t restrict the tourists on the ship, but you have a special identity. Your phone is not allowed to be used until you leave the Victoria,” the man in sunglasses said.

“From the beginning, we have already shown our utmost sincerity and trust in you by not confiscating your phone. Therefore, we hope that you can repay us in kind. This will be beneficial to both of us.”

“No one in the Central Guards Brigade dares to speak to me in such a tone. Who do you think you are?”

“Miss Qiu, since things have come to this, I hope you won’t cause any more trouble.” Chen Canrong said.

“Although we respect the Central Guards Brigade very much, you’ve only made it difficult for us. If we have no choice, we don’t mind using unconventional methods. Of course, if his tone just now made you feel unhappy, I apologize to you here.”

Qiu Yuluo didn’t say anything else when she heard Chen Canrong say this.

“Our negotiations are over. Can I remove this thing from my phone?”

“We’ll remove it when we disembark, but not now,” Chen Canrong said.

“And don’t make any unnecessary struggles. We can’t agree to that.”

Qiu Yuluo shrugged and didn’t say anything else.

Chen Canrong’s prudence made her feel like she couldn’t exert her strength.

Soon, Qiu Yuluo was brought to the place where she had been dressed.

At the same time, the man in sunglasses helped her remove the shielding device on her phone.

Qiu Yuluo took back her phone, turned it on, checked it, and put it back in her pocket.

However, when she put it back into her pocket, Qiu Yu turned on the recording function.

However, this small action was not noticed by anyone.

Qiu Yuluo did not waste any more time. She climbed down the ladder and prepared to disembark.

Halfway down, she realized that the people on the boat were still looking down, but it was a safe distance for her.

Qiu Yuluo deliberately slowed down her climbing pace as she spoke eloquently, as if she was saying something.

A few minutes later, Qiu Yuluo climbed to the side of the speedboat.

At the same time, the man in sunglasses who was in charge of escorting Qiu Yuluo left. He met up with Chen Canrong, but the remaining five people remained.

“Mr. Chen,” the man in sunglasses said.

“She has already left, but we realized that halfway down, the other party couldn’t wait to contact the Central Guards Brigade.”
