I rushed in front of the woman who was reading, ignoring my appearance, and loudly asked, "Where did you get your Cruise Ship ticket?"
The woman was startled. "It... it was a prize that the editorial department received."
I took a step back and looked up at the sky. I thought I understood what was going on.
On this luxurious cruise ship, there wasn't a single wealthy person aboard, nor anyone who had purchased their own Cruise Ship ticket. The seemingly harmonious and warm atmosphere actually concealed turbulent undercurrents.
I dashed to Xiao Zhang's door and knocked vigorously. "Open the door, hurry!"
Xiao Zhang came out from next door where Xiao Ma was. "What are you doing?" she asked with an annoyed expression. "Wu Yin, I'm telling you, don't hog the handsome guy; he's for everyone."
I trembled all over. "Open... open the door."
"I... I have a major discovery."
Seeing that I was clearly shaken, Xiao Zhang quickly let me in.
I told her that Xiao Ma was involved in a Pig Butchering Scheme, and that the Old Li couple, the real estate agent, the psychologist, the female editor, and Chen Wei and I all received our Cruise Ship tickets as gifts. I spilled everything out to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang panicked too. "How could this happen?"
"Don't you feel like we've been caught up in a conspiracy?"
"I think so too, but we haven't offended anyone."
"That's not right." I shook my head. "Someone must be targeting us."
"Xiao Zhang, think about it—who would be most likely to do this?"
Xiao Zhang pondered for a moment. "I don't know either, but we need to find out who it is as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, we might be in danger."
I nodded, "Hmm."
"By the way, what was the name of that spiritual boyfriend you mentioned before?"
"Yang Rui."
"Yang Rui?"
Xiao Zhang's face quickly turned pale, "Is it him?"
I nodded, "Do you know him?"
A complex expression appeared on Xiao Zhang's face, "I know him. How could I not know him?"
It turned out that Xiao Zhang and Yang Rui were once a couple; they started a business together right after graduation.
Later, another partner pursued Xiao Zhang, and she left Yang Rui to be with that partner.
Eventually, they broke up, and Yang Rui made a lot of money.
Yang Rui had always blamed Xiao Zhang, saying that if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have made such a fortune.
"So, have you two reconciled?"
"No."
Xiao Zhang shook her head, "I saw him on the cruise ship, but he ignored me."
This statement jolted me.
"Could it be that Yang Rui brought us onto the cruise ship to kill us?"
"Killing? That seems unlikely."
I quickly interrupted him, "This is international waters; if someone gets killed and thrown into the sea, no one would know."
Xiao Zhang's face turned ashen, "No way."
"Yang Rui is vengeful; he wouldn't let it be that simple."
"Simple?"
"Yes, with so many of us here, even if he hates us, there's no need to bring us onto the cruise ship to kill us. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
"What do you mean?"
"I think Yang Rui brought us onto the Cruise Ship for another purpose."
"Another purpose?"
I thought for a moment, "Either to scam us out of our money, or..."
"Or what?"
I shook my head, "I don't know either."
"Then let's ask other people."
"Other people?"
"Yeah, if Yang Rui's goal involves all of us, then the others must be connected to him too."
Wu Yin and Xiao Zhang left with heavy hearts and ran into Old Li.
"Old Li, can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Do you know Yang Rui?"
Upon hearing Yang Rui's name, Old Li looked as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen in place.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "You... you mean who?"
"Yang Rui."
Old Li's face turned pale, as if he was lost in a distant memory.
After a while, he snapped back to reality, "What do you want to ask about him?"
"Do you know him?"
Old Li remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding, "Yes, I know him."
