Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Don’t Touch Her with Your Dirty Hands
Previously, Sang Qin had plotted a kidnapping case, demanding a ransom of one billion. Later, as a fugitive, he ended up on a small island, establishing dominance and specializing in hijacking passing cargo ships, becoming a notorious bandit internationally.
But unexpectedly, Sang Qin’s actions became increasingly daring. This was the Ocean Monarch, and the passengers on board were either wealthy or influential, including government dignitaries and billion-dollar entrepreneurs.
He hijacked an entire cruise ship, clearly aiming for a big score!
However, his actions were not surprising.
For a desperate outlaw like him, there was nothing he wouldn’t do.
Originally a fugitive, after today, everything was uncertain about tomorrow.
He naturally could afford to risk everything!
Li Yufei was a bit tense, clenching her hands in anxiety.
She realized that this trip was likely to end in misfortune.
Sang Qin said in a deep voice, “I don’t want to make things difficult for you, nor do I want to kill anyone, so I hope you’ll cooperate with me. My demands are simple. I give you ten minutes to hand over the tickets, room cards, and all valuables on you. Those in first class, hand over the keys to your digital accounts. Once I verify, I’ll let you go. But if you don’t cooperate, don’t blame me for being ruthless! Alright, let’s start. I hope no one wastes my time, nor their own. A word of advice: if you cooperate enough, I might let you live.”
His words were merely a reminder to everyone present that, if they wanted to survive, they had to pay for their lives!
At Sang Qin’s command, his dozen or so men immediately sealed off the entire banquet hall.
“Stand up!”
“Stand properly! Everyone line up!”
Rong Ling looked over.
A dozen armed men, each holding weapons—submachine guns, rifles.
How did they get these guns onto the ship?
Boarding requires going through security, so how could they have smuggled so many weapons on board?
Rong Ling: “Where did they get the guns?”
Li Yufei: “I think they appointed backup support early on. Now, the cruise ship should have sailed into international waters, with backup waiting at sea to board directly once the Ocean Monarch enters the open sea.”
Rong Ling: “All external communications have been cut off.”
Li Yufei: “Yes, it seems the entire captain’s cabin has been controlled.”
In the spacious banquet hall,
Everyone was forced to line up in two rows.
A few men carrying guns moved through the crowd, starting to collect valuables from people’s bodies, counting them one by one.
Amidst the extreme silence of the crowd, the suffocating atmosphere was occasionally pierced by heart-wrenching sobs and trembling pleas for mercy.
A loud “bang”!
Suddenly, a sound of a fist smashing was heard from within the crowd, followed by the man’s miserable wails: “Brother! This is all I have! I didn’t hide anything, I swear I didn’t hide anything!”
Hearing the commotion, Sang Qin immediately walked towards the man, “What’s happening!?”
A subordinate reported, “We only found 500 US Dollars on him! I asked him where the rest of the valuables were, but he refused to say.”
Sang Qin looked skeptically at the man, “You only have 500 US Dollars on you?”
The man quickly nodded.
Sang Qin said, “Give me your room card.”
The man froze, eyes wide, trembling.
Sang Qin: “I said, give me your room card.”
The man’s legs went weak, clutching the room card tightly, large droplets of cold sweat continually falling from his forehead.
Without hesitation, Sang Qin snatched the room card from his hand and handed it to a subordinate, “Search his room thoroughly.”
“Yes!”
As the subordinate left, the man collapsed to the ground, dazedly looking at Sang Qin, “I really only have that much money…”
Sang Qin: “Your country has a saying, I believe it goes, ‘Money is merely a worldly possession’.
The man couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Five minutes later.
The subordinate returned to Sang Qin’s side, whispering a few words in his ear: “Boss, we found another 50,000 US Dollars in cash and some valuable jewelry in this man’s room, hidden in a safe in his wardrobe. We pried open the safe to find them!”
The man’s face turned pale. He thought his belongings in the safe were safe, believing Sang Qin and his men were just ordinary pirates, and first-class safes were particularly hidden. Who would have known these people could uncover even such hidden places!
Sang Qin couldn’t help but sneer, “Didn’t you say, you only had 500 US Dollars on you?”
The man shivered in fear, unable to speak.
Before he could explain, Sang Qin gripped the gun in his hand, pressing it against the man’s temple.
The man screamed in shock, helplessly kneeling on the ground, shivering as he pleaded, “I was wrong, I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong, please don’t kill me, I’m begging you, don’t kill me…”
Sang Qin didn’t spare him a glance, instead, he looked at the others and spoke softly, “What did I just say? Didn’t I say, behave yourself and hand over everything valuable?”
Silence engulfed the crowd!
Sang Qin coldly stated, “Watch closely, this is the consequence of lying to me!”
With a loud “bang”!
A flash of light erupted from the gun’s muzzle.
In an instant, the man slumped lifelessly beside him, his head shot directly.
The banquet hall filled with the sound of breaths being sharply drawn in.
Some covered their mouths in fear, sobbing, eyes filled with despair!
Standing before them were ruthless desperadoes who didn’t blink at murder!
Trapped in this maritime prison with no escape, despair and helplessness were all that filled their hearts!
Rong Ling’s pupils narrowed slightly.
He had witnessed the means of these villains, killing without hesitation, treating human life as grass.
Soon—
A subordinate approached Li Yufei, carrying a bag already filled with numerous valuables, looking heavy.
Li Yufei calmly raised her hands, removed her jewelry, and placed them in the bag, simultaneously handing over her ticket, bank card, and blockchain key.
The man took out a handheld device, entered the key, and wiped out over a hundred thousand US Dollars from Li Yufei’s account.
Li Yufei didn’t store much money in her account, planning to transfer a few million more before the auction. She didn’t expect this sudden incident.
“Why only 150,000 US Dollars?”
Li Yufei coolly replied, “That’s all I have on me. If you don’t believe me, you can search.”
After speaking, she calmly spread her arms, her expression unperturbed.
The man initially eyed her, noticing her strong figure and good looks, his intentions turning malicious as he reached for her chest.
In the next second—
Rong Ling stepped forward, fiercely shoving him away, “Don’t touch her with your filthy hands.”
