At noon the next day, Xiao Tian and his group of nine arrived at the port and planned to take a ship directly to Shanghai. In the morning, Xiao Tian sent Xiao Hu to the port to check on the situation. Xiao Hu reported that there were tickets for direct flights to Shanghai. The departure time was 12:10 p. m. Xiao Tian considered for a long time and decided to go directly to Shanghai. He gave up the plan to detour to Weihai. This would save a lot of time, so he asked Xiao Hu to buy nine tickets to Shanghai.
Before they left, Liu Zihu did some simple makeup for everyone to avoid the police's eyes and ears. Among the nine people, Xiao Tian, Feng 'er, and Liu Zihu did not need to put on makeup at all. As the three King Kong had been in prison for a long time, their appearances had changed greatly from before they were in prison, so they only needed to be simplified. Liu Zihu thought for a long time and turned the three of them into businessmen who looked to be in their fifties. After the makeup was done, she believed that as long as the police did not stick their noses to the person in front of them, they would not be able to tell that the person in front of them was a wanted fugitive. The only troublesome ones were Li Dong, Zhang Gang, and Liu Zilong. Their appearances had not changed much since they were imprisoned, so it took a long time. After about an hour, their appearances after makeup gradually appeared. Xiao Hu had made the three of them look like middle-aged men in their mid-thirties.
Xiao Tian and his group of nine were in Shanghai to discuss business. Xiao Tian was the boss of the company, Feng 'er was the secretary, and the others were the managers of various departments. As for the name of the company, Xiao Tian gave it: Southern Sky Industry Group Co., Ltd. was the first name Xiao Tian's brothers had mentioned to them. On one hand, it was to give everyone a goal to strive for and form a cohesive force so that they would not become a pure underworld organization that fought and killed. Even if he really became a member of the underworld in the future, he had to give himself a layer of legal clothing. On the other hand, it was also to commemorate the death of Dao Baonan in the prison in the north of the city. He felt that he had taken care of him in prison, so he chose the word "Nan" in his name and the word "Tian" in his own name to form his own enterprise group name to commemorate him. In fact, there was another very important factor that the starting capital of this Southern Sky Enterprise Group needed the capital that Dao Baonan had left in Shen Zhen. Although Xiao Tian did not know how much money he had, he believed that no matter how much money he had, he had to build the company.
The maxim that one would be beaten if they fell behind was not only applicable to countries on the battlefield, but also to companies in the business world. Xiao Tian relied on this belief to successfully make the Southern Sky Group into the top ten companies in China in just three years and the top 500 companies in the world five years later. In the end, when the country decided to take back Taiwan by force, they even considered using Xiao Tian's Southern Sky Logistics to build a huge logistics network in the mainland and Taiwan to transport equipment and materials. They had made outstanding contributions to the great cause of the country's unification.
When Xiao Tian announced that he was going to establish Southern Sky Industry and told his brothers about the original intention of setting up the company and the long-term plan for the future, all of them were excited. Xiao Tian painted a picture that they never dared to imagine, making everyone think that their future was no longer a castle in the air. After all, no one wanted to be in the underworld for the rest of their lives.
Thanks to Liu Zihu's superb makeup skills, Xiao Tian and the others boarded the passenger ship to Shanghai without any mishaps. The passenger ship was divided into three floors above ground and two floors below ground. The two floors below ground were guest rooms, while the three floors above ground were restaurants, entertainment rooms, swimming pools, and other entertainment facilities. The passenger ship itself was a luxurious amusement park.
Xiao Tian observed that the people who boarded the ship looked like people with a certain status in society. He could tell from their clothes and arrogant expressions. Fortunately, Xiao Tian asked Xiao Long to buy a set of branded clothes for everyone. As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Xiao Tian and the others looked like a high-level inspection team of a certain group after dressing up. Xiao Tian was wearing a black Boss suit with a black t-shirt underneath. He looked like a black cloud. Not only did it make you look majestic, but it also made people feel that you were very noble. Coupled with Xiao Tian's knife-like resolute face, people did not dare to underestimate him. Now Xiao Tian knew why the gangsters in the movies liked black clothes. Black could give people an oppressive aura. Because of this, when Xiao Tian and the others boarded the ship, a waiter immediately came forward to welcome them one by one and brought them to the rooms on the second floor of the passenger ship. His attitude was very respectful.
Xiao Tian booked a total of three standard rooms and a suite. Xiao Tian, Li Dong, and Feng 'er stayed in the suite. The others stayed in three standard rooms in groups of two. Zhang Gang and Zhang Qiang were in a group, the Xiaolong brothers were in a group, and Yang Ming and Pei Yong were in a group. The four rooms were close together so that they could look out for each other if anything happened.
In order to prevent anyone from poisoning the food and drinking water on the ship, Xiao Tian asked Xiao Long to prepare about two days 'worth of food and drinking water for everyone before boarding the ship. Unless there was something special, Xiao Tian ordered everyone to stay in the room as little as possible. Every once in a while, Little Tiger would go up to the upper deck of the ship to check on the situation, and then come back to report to Xiao Tianzhi. Fortunately, there was a television in the room, so everyone did not feel bored. Moreover, with Feng 'er, this beautiful woman, chatting and laughing with everyone, everyone did not feel lonely. After all, it was more pleasing to the eyes to have beautiful women accompanying them on the road. However, everyone felt that Xiao Tian was being overly cautious. It had already been more than a day and there had been no movement. However, Xiao Tian knew that caution made the ship grow stronger. The more relaxed someone was, the more vigilant he had to be. From today onwards, he had to maintain a high level of concentration every day. He could not let his guard down at any time.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Everyone was resting in their rooms. Xiao Tian was the only one sitting on the sofa in the room. The passenger ship should have arrived in Shanghai at noon tomorrow. Other than a short technical stop at the port more than two hours ago, the passenger ship continued to sail towards its destination. Other than the sound of the waves outside the ship, there was no other sound. Even the footsteps of the tourists who often passed by outside the door were gone. Perhaps they had all rested. When he thought of this, Xiao Tian's heart suddenly shook, and a very bad feeling flashed through his mind. He quietly got up and opened the door. The long and narrow corridor looked so deep and long under the beige light. Xiao Tian slowly walked towards the exit. The closer he got to the exit, the more intense the bad feeling became. He did not see a single waiter along the way, including the bar counter at the exit of the second floor.
Xiao Tian slowly walked up the stairs. It seemed that the only sound on the ship was the sound of Xiao Tian's feet. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the narrow corridor. When he reached the first underground floor, Xiao Tian realized that there was no one there, just like the second floor.
'What happened? Why is there no one here?' Xiao Tian thought to himself.
Xiao Tian walked to a room near the stairs on the first floor and gently knocked on the door. After a while, other than the sound of fingers knocking on the door, there was no response from the room. Xiao Tian tried to turn the door lock, and the door opened. Xiao Tian entered the room in a flash, turned around, and slowly closed the door. The room was very messy. There were blankets on the bed, and the toiletries in the bathroom showed signs of being used. The luggage of the passengers was also placed in the cabinet. It was obvious that this room was occupied by passengers. However, Xiao Tian still didn't see anyone. Xiao Tian opened a few rooms in a row and the same thing happened. Could it be that all the people he saw when he boarded the ship were ghosts? Why was there no one now? At this moment, the uneasy premonition in Xiao Tian's heart became even stronger.
He immediately turned around and went down to his room, asking Li Dong to call everyone to his room. After a while, everyone came to the room. Everyone knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Xiao Tian would not have come to greet them so late at night. Xiao Tian immediately told everyone about his discovery, and everyone fell into deep thought. Zhang Gang got up and said that he wanted to go to the deck of the passenger ship to explore. Xiao Tian said that he wanted to go with everyone. Xiao Tian quietly opened the door of the suite and saw Feng 'er sleeping soundly on the bed, snoring evenly. He told everyone not to wake her up and let her sleep.
If she was an expert, she would not need protection at all. If she was an ordinary girl, she could only say that it was her misfortune to be with Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian told his brothers to take their weapons. Since they didn't have guns, everyone was holding machetes. The reason why he asked all his brothers to bring their weapons was because Xiao Tian felt that what happened tonight was too strange. On the deck, it was very likely that the first fierce battle on their escape would be waiting for them.
Xiao Tian and the others carefully stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck. A sea breeze mixed with mist blew against their faces, not only refreshing them. The exit of the cabin was located on the right side of the ship. Xiao Tian waved his hand and ordered everyone to move towards the bow. The closer they got to the bow, the more oppressive they felt. This was definitely not the aura of a single person. If it was not a single person, then it meant that there were many people at the bow.
Is this a party? No, how could there be no music at a party?
Was it the sea breeze? Probably not. Who would be blowing the sea breeze at the bow of the ship in the middle of the night?
Since there were so many people and no one made any noise, it meant that everyone was standing quietly. Who were they waiting for?
Other than the howling sea breeze, there was no other sound. Xiao Tian felt that the passenger ship was like a dead ship in an American movie. It was lifeless.
Was he really not angry? Of course not.
When Xiao Tian and Jiu Tian walked out of the starboard of the passenger ship and arrived at the front deck of the passenger ship, they were greeted by a group of people wearing white singlets and black breeches. They were holding knives in their hands. In the middle sat a slender man with a long face, playing with a two-inch-long silver knife in his hand.
Seeing Xiao Tian and the others come to the bow of the ship, he said without turning his head,""You must be Xiao Tian. If you don't come up, I'll send someone to invite you down. Haha!"
"We didn't dare to trouble you. We came by ourselves!”Xiao Tian replied.
"Brat, your tone is not small!" the long-faced man said.
Zhang Gang immediately saw the two-inch-long silver knife in the long-faced man's hand. Under the bright moonlight, it flashed with a sinister cold light. The Flying Dagger of the Top Ten Assassins of the Underworld!"
