Chapter 219: A Turn on the Mountain Path

ld be so severe, just thinking about them is terrifying. 。Tuesday 。Upon receiving Xia Meng's notification, Xiang Tian rushed to the funeral home early that morning to attend the memorial service for C...As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, their words are usually wise. He didn't believe that Middle Easterner would lie even as he was dying, but where was the San Diego ship he spoke ofAfter much deliberation, Xiang Tian couldn't just give up. He continued searching with Fang Xin among the nearly hundred ships docked at the deep sea port. 。However, another hour passed and they were still empty-handed. 。And after all this trouble, it's almost two in the morning now. He's fine, but Fang Xin is exhausted. 。Heavens know, it can't go on like this any longer. Fangxin is still breastfeeding, for Little Guoguo's sake, she needs to get plenty of rest. 。Just as they were about to leave the harbor, a roar of engines suddenly echoed from above them, seeming to come from the surface of the sea. 。His hearing was good, and the wind was blowing in from the sea, so he could hear very clearly. It sounded like the engine of a small fishing boat, getting closer to the harbor. 。He called Fang Xin over and stood at the edge of the bank, looking out for a while. After about ten minutes, a faint light appeared on the surface of the sea, and the sound of the engine grew clearer and clearer. Even Fang Xin could hear it. 。The fishing boat pulled up to the shore shortly after, and Xiang Tian quietly followed along with Fang Xin, hiding on the bank. 。A few people came up from the fishing boats, both men and women. Their fashionable attire indicated that they were either rich or noble. 。After they got ashore, they were still talking and laughing loudly. Judging from their conversation, these people should be gamblers who had just finished a game. 。They came back from the sea, and had just participated in a gambling game. He thought something was fishy about this. Could they have come from the legendary gambling shipAfter those people left, he jumped onto that small fishing boat 。There were two other people on board, one in his forties and the other eighteen or nineteen years old. They were shirtless, their skin tanned by the sun, clearly fishermen who made a living from the sea. 。"You want to go on the gambling boat too" The man in his forties, sitting on deck smoking, looked up at Tian and Fang Xin, not surprised at all. He said calmly: "Everyone's ten thousand" 。"So expensive" Fang Xin exclaimed as she just stepped onto the deck. 。He stopped her in the air and asked, “Can you swipe your card” The young man quickly took out a small POS machine from the cabin and placed it before him. 。He let out a wry smile, realizing his words had been said in jest. He hadn't expected the other person to take them seriously. 。He had just pulled out his card when Fang Xin tugged at his clothes from behind, signaling him not to swipe it. 。She turned her head and smiled, swiped her card, and asked the captain, "Master, let me ask you something. Is this gambling boat called the Saint Diego" The captain tossed his cigarette butt away and walked towards the stern, saying, "Don't blame me for not warning you, some things are best left unasked." 。The sound of the engine roared again, and the small fishing boat soon left the deepwater port, heading out into the open sea. 。No matter how much they questioned the captain, he wouldn't say another word. 。Having no choice, he gave up his thoughts and sat down with Fang Xin at the bow of the boat. 。“Do you think the gambling ship will be the San Diego” Fang Xin whispered. 。Maybe, maybe not. It's always good to go and see for yourself. 。"The other day, when Tian was listening to Yu Ding Shan and Lin Ling chat, he heard them talking about gambling boats on the high seas. He never expected to actually run into one." 。He wasn't sure either, he didn't know if the gambling boat was the San Diego. But he couldn't just let it go without checking it out. 。The small fishing boat looked unremarkable, but it had surprisingly strong horsepower and was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the coastline disappeared behind them. 。After about an hour, the speed gradually slowed down. At that time, Xiangtian saw a huge cruise ship docked on the sea level ahead. 。The cruise ship was three stories high, incredibly large. It was brightly lit from top to bottom, and you could faintly see people bustling about. It looked very lively on the upper decks. 。The boat captain skillfully maneuvered the fishing vessel closer to the cruise ship's port side and shouted a few times upwards. A basket large enough to carry four or five people slowly descended. 。After Xiang Tian and Fang Xin got into the cradle, the boat captain pulled on the rope above. A crisp bell rang from overhead, and the cradle slowly began to rise. 。After the basket was raised to the deck, five men appeared before them. They were all yellow-skinned and black-eyed, but each one looked fierce and menacing, with assault rifles in their hands. The black muzzles of their guns were pointed directly at them. 。Fang Xin, seeing this lineup, was so frightened that she huddled tightly behind Xiang Tian. 。"Miss, rest assured, once you are on board you are guests, and here you are absolutely safe. 。A man of about thirty-five or six said, as he came out of the cradle, he still came over to help. 。Towards the man he smiled and nodded, then helped Fang Xin out of the cradle, and under this man's guidance, they walked towards the hold. 。On the way, he briefly inquired about the gambling boat, learning that it not only offered gambling but also had a variety of entertainment facilities, including saunas, baths, bars, and guest rooms... You could say that anything you could think of was available there. 。"Do you know what this ship is called, Paradise This is the dream paradise of all the rich people!" The man laughed heartily. 。He escorted Xiangtian and Fangxin to the first-floor lobby. After they exchanged their cards for tens of thousands of chips, he teased the cashier girl again, then chuckled and returned to the deck. 。He and Fang Xin took the chips, strolling around the first-floor lobby. It truly had everything, almost identical to the casinos in Macau. Sitting around gambling tables were Chinese people of all ages - men, women, old and young - enjoying themselves immensely. 。This was Xiang Tian's first time entering a casino. He was quite curious about everything here, so he grabbed a few chips and played some slot machines. 。While Fang Xin was not as relaxed, she always wore a worried expression. 。He stood up and shoved a handful of chips into her hand, smiling. "Don't worry about it, just go with the flow. Have some fun first, I'll cover you if you lose." 。"There's a slight smile on Fang Xin's face, but she sighs and says, "What if Sally and Dr. Lin aren't here" "Don't worry, just stay here and play. I'll go take a look around and see what's going on." 。"Tian pointed Fangxin to sit down and let her play freely, while he continued to wander around." 。The casino was huge and packed with people. Spinning around like that wouldn't attract anyone's attention, he found an opening and slipped up the stairs to the second floor. 。The second floor is slightly smaller than the first, lacking those peculiar gambling machines. There are only a dozen or so tables, but they are surrounded by quite a crowd. 。

After circling around, I didn't find anything special in the sky.

Just as I was about to reach the third floor, I suddenly saw someone coming up and down the stairs. 。This person is wearing a white shirt and white pants, with a cigar in his mouth. Looking at his face, he resembles Raman a bit, also in his forties. 。He stood at the top of the stairs, took in the casino layout with a glance, then flirted with some sexy waitresses, put his arm around one, and sat down at a gambling table with her. 。He wasn't very lucky, he didn't win a single game after playing several rounds. He shoved the remaining chips into the woman's cleavage and then stood up with a smirk, swaggering towards the restroom. 。Then, quietly, Xiang Tian followed behind him. 。There was no one else in the restroom. He gently closed the door behind him, then grabbed the man from behind, squeezing his neck against the wall. In a low voice, he said in English, "Tell me where Sally is if you don't want to die." 。"herwise, he might dampen this guy's enthusiasm. 。The two people made an appointment to meet at a teahouse. Half an hour later, they saw Du De-biao pointing at the sky. 。This fellow still has his backp...
