After looking around his room, Qi Ming Wei took a quick shower before he came out again.
Just because the President told him that he should take a break, it doesn't mean that he could lower his guard.
They were on the sea and they needed to prepare for all sorts of danger.
Qi Ming Wei locked his door and started to look around the cruise. He met the captain of the ship and was taken for a tour around. As the president was on the board, no one dared to be negligent on the safety.
When everything was done, Qi Ming Wei realized that soon, it will be time for the President and his family to have dinner.
He exchanged a few words with the captain before going to look for the President.
"You're here." President Liang nodded when he saw Qi Ming Wei approaching. "I'm a little tired today. My wife and I will be having our meal in the room." He gestured to his sons and spoke. "They wanted to go to the hall to have their meal. You go and follow them around to ensure their safety. Other than you, I won't be at ease with my children's safety."
Qi Ming Wei glanced at the two teenage boys at the side. Then, he turned to the President again and nodded. "Yes, President Liang."
The president smiled. "You too should go and eat something."
After making some arrangements, Qi Ming Wei left with a few of his men to accompany those boys to the restaurant.
The president's elder son, Liang Si shot Qi Ming Wei a look before he lowered his head and focused on his phone. While the second one, Liang Ge continued to stare at Qi Ming Wei for a long time.
It was not hard for Qi Ming Wei to figure out what was going on in Liang Ge's mind. The boy seemed to be interested in knowing whether he would be carrying a gun with him.
Qi Ming Wei ignored the curious boy and instead, try to focus on his task. He needed to keep the boys out of trouble while ensuring their safety.
As they walked along the corridor, Qi Ming Wei noticed a familiar silhouette heading to the President's room.
His eyes narrowed, but Qi Ming Wei decided to pretend as if he did not notice anything.
Huang Wen Zhou was going to meet his friend, and the President was insistent to send him away.
It was not hard to conclude that the friends had something to discuss without his presence. Qi Ming Wei was very curious to know the details of their conversation, but he knew that he had to be patient.
Qi Ming Wei arrived at the restaurant along with a few of his men.
He instructed his men to monitor the room before following the boys around the room.
Initially, Liang Si was still focusing on his phone, but upon seeing the pretty girls around the place, his attention was finally diverted.
Qi Ming Wei followed Liang Si's gaze and saw a group of women in their sexy outfits. Just as he was about to retract his gaze, his eyes caught the sight of a familiar figure in a red dress.
He did a double take, but the woman seemed to have disappeared before he could take a look properly.
That woman's figure and the way she walked...
Yang Ran?
The light in his eyes flickered.
Qi Ming Wei wondered if he had seen things wrongly. However, after Yang Ran had escaped right under his eyes, Qi Ming Wei has been working hard to look for her again.
He spent a lot of time watching the recording of how Yang Ran had escaped.
He had watched her so much that he began to memorize her silhouette as well as the way she walked.
His eyes narrowed as he recalled the report that Yang Ran was seen entering the country not too long ago. His men could not locate Yang Ran's location.
Then... would it be possible that the woman had appeared on this cruise?
The corner of his lips tilted up.
Qi Ming Wei was not in a hurry to look for Yang Ran.
If the person he saw was really that woman, then, he would have a week to find her again. Qi Ming Wei did not believe that Yang Ran would be able to escape him this time.
"Commander Qi, do you think that the ladies on this cruise are especially pretty too?"
The teenage's voice snapped him out of his trance.
Qi Ming Wei turned to Liang Si and scoffed.
"Then, how about the two of us go and have fun together?" Liang Si suggested. "I won't say a word to my father if you don't."
"You are still a kid. Go and eat your dinner properly and grow up before you can start thinking of chasing after women," Qi Ming Wei spoke.
Liang Si clicked his tongue.
Qi Ming Wei watched as the boys ate their meals.
The phone in his pocket buzzed. Qi Ming Wei glanced at the name on the screen before he stood up. "Excuse me, I'll have to answer this call."
After signaling his men to continue and keep their eyes on the boys, Qi Ming Wei headed out and found a quiet corner. Then, he slid his finger on the screen to answer the phone.
"I heard that you were enjoying your time on a luxury cruise. How was it? Did you enjoy the vacation?"
"Vacation my ass. Right now, I'm babysitting two teenage boys."
Zhang Yu Han laughed when he heard his words. He could tell that Qi Ming Wei was annoyed that he had to be on the cruise instead of training with his men in the camp.
"If you are not happy, you can always tell me," Zhang Yu Han said. "I may not know anything about politics, but I know some people who could help your situation."
Zhang Yu Han might be a businessman, but he was well acquainted with a few people from powerful families. The Song and the Long family had powerful figures in politics and media. Then, his best friend, Lin Xiao Feng had his influence as well.
No matter how powerful the president might be, he wouldn't be able to withstand their pressure.
"No need." Qi Ming Wei fumbled into his pocket and took out a packet of cigarettes. He played with one cigarette but did not try to light it up. "I know that you are worried about me, but Grandfather is right. If I stay around, I might learn more. The President wanted me to stay by his side just to stop me from investigating that case. That person seemed to be hiding something and I wanted to know what it is."
The corner of his lips tilted up as he thought of the chance of encountering Yang Ran again on this cruise.
