Fortunately, the ship hadn't started yet, so Baishi Hui's rescue was very easy.
When he dragged Xiao Wu onto the lifeboat, the latter's face was pale.
The crew on the lifeboat quickly started the engine to return to the cruise ship and sent the two onto the deck.
Xiao Wu's legs went weak after only two steps, and he almost fell.
Fortunately, the crew member next to him was quick-witted and supported him.
"Mr. Qiben, are you alright?" The arriving crew members asked with some concern.
"I... I'm fine, it's just... my leg cramped when I fell into the water!" Xiao Wu forced a smile and said, "You don't need to worry, I'll be fine after resting for a while!"
Baishi Hui refused the support of the other crew members, walked onto the deck, took off his jacket, wrung it out, and asked, "Mr. Qiben, what happened? Did someone push you into the sea?"
As soon as he said this, the other crew members also looked at Xiao Wu.
If such a terrible thing really happened, they probably wouldn't be able to set sail.
"No... no." Xiao Wu shook his head to deny it, scratching his head awkwardly and saying, "I got too carried away, so I accidentally fell down."
Saying that, he bowed to Baishi Hui and said, "Thank you so much this time, Mr. Yamada."
"It's nothing, just be careful next time." Baishi Hui didn't press the matter.
He was just a little puzzled, how was the situation different from the original story again?
Forget it... if it's different, then it's different!
As long as it doesn't delay me from doing serious business.
At this time, RanRan down from the second deck. She came to Baishi Hui's side, panting, and asked worriedly, "Hui, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just a little tired... Didn't you notify anyone else?" Baishi Hui said, glancing at Xiao Wu. Seeing that the other party didn't notice the problem with the address, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The situation was urgent, so I just told the crew and immediately Ran down." Ran took the wet jacket for Baishi Hui.
When Xiao Wu heard this, he quickly said, "Um... can you keep this a secret for me? If people know I fell into the water... I'll probably be laughed at, after all, tomorrow is my wedding."
"Okay." Baishi Hui agreed without thinking.
Of course, Ran's opinion was consistent with Baishi Hui's.
As for the other crew members, they looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu said again, "Don't worry, I'll explain the situation to the captain!"
The other crew members then nodded in agreement.
Xiao Wu said "thank you" to Baishi Hui again, and asked a crew member to help him back to his room.
Looking at his retreating back, Ran's expression was inexplicably uneasy, saying, "I always feel... something bad is going to happen."
"Yeah." Baishi Hui could also feel that this trip wouldn't be so smooth.
He said, "Let's go back to the room... I also need to change clothes."
Ran nodded and asked, "Do you need me to help you?"
"No need." Baishi Hui refused and walked two steps forward, suddenly his "legs went weak."
Ran caught the other party immediately and couldn't help but laugh, "Hui, stop trying to be strong!! Let me help you!"
"Sigh... I still wanted to maintain my cool image." Baishi Hui sighed and said gloomily.
"It's fine if that's gone." Ran chuckled and put Baishi Hui's arm on her shoulder, letting half of his body lean on her.
Baishi Hui said awkwardly, "I got your clothes wet..."
"It's fine, just wash them when we get back." Ran said while helping the other party and walking towards the room.
Just as Baishi Hui was about to say something, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.
But he didn't look around, pretending not to notice, and continued to follow Ran back to the room.
After returning to the room, the feeling of being watched immediately disappeared.
Baishi Hui temporarily put this matter aside and said, "Please help me into the bathroom."
"Okay." Ran nodded without hesitation.
She helped Baishi Hui into the bathroom and thoughtfully placed the other party under the shower!
But what she never expected was that Baishi Hui suddenly turned on the shower, and warm water poured down with a splash.
"Ah!!" Ran exclaimed, and quickly said, "Wait... wait! I haven't gone out yet!"
"Aren't you going to wash? Let's wash together!" Baishi Hui grabbed Ran's waist and pulled her closer, saying, "This way we can also save water resources!"
"This..." Ran saw Baishi Hui's fiery eyes, and her heart trembled. Before she could say anything, her mouth was blocked.
At this moment, Ran felt as if all the strength in her body was sucked away, and she didn't even have the strength to push him away.
Baishi Hui turned the shower to the maximum.
The rising white steam quickly enveloped the bathroom, making it impossible to see anything, only the sound of rapid breathing.
——————————————————————————————
Xiao Wu returned to his room, thanked the crew member who helped him, and then closed the door.
The next second, his expression became quite ugly.
He didn't expect Flagship Shoji and Qiben Longnan to be so bold.
They actually teamed up and pushed him off the ship!
Xiao Wu understood very well that since they didn't succeed this time, there would definitely be a next time.
As for the idea of calling the police, he didn't even think about it.
Not to mention that he had no evidence, if he called the police, his wedding with Natsue would have to be postponed.
This was something he couldn't accept!
What's more, what if his identity was exposed...
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu made up his mind.
After changing into clean clothes, he walked straight towards the bar.
Upon reaching the bar, he looked around and walked up to a middle-aged bartender, saying, "I'll have a Vermouth."
The middle-aged bartender nodded and said, "I understand, please wait a moment."
After the middle-aged bartender left, a plain-looking female bartender soon came over with a glass of foreign wine and said, "Mr. Qiben, here's the Vermouth you wanted."
"...I agree to cooperate with you." Xiao Wu took the glass of wine, drank more than half of it in one gulp, and then showed a pained expression on his face.
Vermouth said in surprise, "You agreed so quickly? I thought you would need some time to think!"
"I don't have time to think! I was almost killed just now!!" Xiao Wu said angrily, gripping the wine glass after recovering.
Vermouth wiped the countertop while asking, "What happened?"
Xiao Wu then told the other party what had just happened.
"Tsk tsk tsk, these people from big families are really dirty... they really stop at nothing to get the inheritance." Vermouth sighed and said, "But there's nothing that can be done, who can resist the temptation of such a large amount of assets?"
"What's more... you're marrying into the family."
Xiao Wu clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "As long as you can guarantee that my wedding with Natsue will proceed as scheduled, I will agree to your terms!"
"Then just be your groom in peace, we will help you solve the rest of the matters." As Vermouth spoke, a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.
After getting the promise, Xiao Wu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and left.
Vermouth picked up the wine glass and began to wash it. A female waitress walked over and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did he believe it?"
"He believed it." A hint of a smile appeared on Vermouth's lips, and she said, "He didn't even question those two people, and just assumed they did it... He didn't suspect us at all."
"It seems he also knows that others are hostile towards him." The waitress said, and sighed, "Transfiguration is really useful. It was so easy for you to stir up conflict between them."
"Do you want to learn? Kir, I can teach you." Vermouth said with a playful look.
"Forget it, I'm not suited for such delicate things." Kir, disguised as a waitress, refused without thinking. She didn't believe Vermouth would be so kind.
She hesitated and said, "That man who jumped down before me... he's a Detective, I've seen him in the news. If he's on the ship, he might mess things up!"
"Don't worry about that, I'll handle it." Vermouth instructed, "You just keep an eye on the groom."
"I understand." Kir ended the conversation and left.
After Vermouth put the washed wine glass back, she turned and left. After a while, the middle-aged bartender reappeared, slowly wiping the wine cabinet.
