"He's desperate to leave Hong Kong now. With the whole city on high alert these past few days, his only escape is via this cruise ship setting sail from the harbor."
It dawned on me why Boss Qian had boarded this cruise ship, it was a ploy, a ruse to ship Ning Hu off.
I reckon every ship leaving Hong Kong these days would inevitably undergo inspection.
But this cruise ship is different; it's packed with high officials and nobles—no one dares to search it, so Ning Hu must be planning his escape with this.
It just so happens that Gu Tingshen and Cheng Yu have lured the tiger into the cage, but I don't understand why on earth Cheng Yu would have me come along.
He never does anything without reason. If he brought me on board, I must have a role to play.
Boss Qian was clearly panicked, but he still feigned calm, "Director Gu, I don't know what you mean. I'm just a small fry trying to get by."
"Once we reach shore, I'll fully cooperate with your city-wide search, alright?"
