Shen Yu and Yu Tang exchanged a glance and threw out smoke grenades, filling the narrow passageway with white smoke.
"It's them! It must be them! They're there! Open fire!"
The group was speaking an English language, which Shen Yu understood. He grabbed Yu Tang and pulled him around the corner, his pistol pressed against the wall.
Bullets flew past the two of them. Shen Yu's lips moved slightly as he silently counted something.
When the count reached zero, he quickly extended his pistol and fired five shots in quick succession.
As his gunshot rang out, it was followed by gasps and screams.
Shen Yu waved to his men behind him: "Charge! Open fire!"
Having received their orders, the group went ahead, and Shen Yu nodded to Yu Tang as they rushed out together.
However, he would still subconsciously guard Yu Tang's right side to avoid being attacked as much as possible.
Chapter 30
The villain is resurrected for the second time (30)
Shen Yu's keen observation skills, calculation abilities, and intuition honed through years of living on the edge were fully demonstrated in his search for Vasily.
About half an hour later, Liu Zi brought back news from the five people who had gone to the cockpit: the plan was going smoothly and the cruise ship had stopped.
The cruise ship is anchored in the territorial waters of Country L.
What's happening here now is enough to sentence Vasily and Shen Yu to death.
At the same time, Yu Tang's phone also received a message from Yuan Chi confirming the location with him, saying that the explosives at the drug factory had been removed, and evidence of Vasily's crimes had been found there. He said that a helicopter had been requested and would arrive over the ship soon.
Yu Tang responded: Send people to protect the safety of the people on the cruise ship deck, and do not let innocent people get hurt.
If you encounter any of Vasily's men who dare to use weapons, shoot them on the spot.
Yuan Chi acknowledged receipt.
He also instructed Yu Tang to wait until the reinforcements arrived before searching for Vasily.
Yu Tang and Shen Yu hid around the corner, watching the two sides fight, and responded to Yuan Chi: "No, there's a hostage in his hands."
"When he finds out you're coming, he'll go berserk, and the hostages will be in extreme danger."
Yuan Chi paused for two seconds, then said, "Then be careful."
After Yu Tang hung up the phone, Shen Yu told him, "The corridor has been cleaned. There are three suites in front, and Vasily is in one of them."
"We don't know if Gu Ze is at the door or inside the room. So we can't use grenades, and we can't just open the door and start shooting."
Yu Tang frowned, then saw the grappling hook hanging beside him that he had just used to climb the boat. A thought struck him: "Hook this onto the doorknob and pull the rope."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it that way."
Yu Tang's method is excellent, as it minimizes the risk of injury.
Apart from him and Shen Yu, everyone else who made it this far was injured.
Shen Yu told his subordinate, who had been shot in the leg, to hide in a corner, and then pulled on the door again, just like before.
Bang bang bang—
Unlike the previous two doors which remained completely still, this time, as soon as the grappling hook was turned, a burst of bullets was fired from inside.
The terrifying force shattered the entire door panel and created a ring of bullet holes in the outer wall.
"Tsk..." Vasily fired the bullet but saw no blood, his expression revealing undisguised regret.
"You guys are something else." He said this, got up and hid behind the bed, the chains tightened, forcing Gu Ze to lean back and face the door.
“I brought a mirror.” Yu Tang squatted five meters away from Shen Yu’s door, took out a small round mirror from his pocket. The back was made of plastic and it was only about the size of a palm. Then he said to Shen Yu, “I remember you’re very good with knives.”
"Can we use a throwing knife to pin the mirror to the door frame?"
Shen Yu understood what he meant; they needed to see Vasily and Gu Ze's situation clearly, and they had to rely on the mirror.
He drew a throwing knife from its sheath, its tip sharp and its body slender.
It pierced through the gap in the mirror, shining through from behind.
Yu Tang then took out a smoke bomb in preparation.
He pried open the bracelet, threw it out, and sure enough, another burst of bullets sent fragments of plaster flying everywhere.
Shen Yu waited until the bullets stopped and the smoke hadn't cleared before throwing the throwing knife.
It landed firmly on the high part of the door frame!
"Amazing!" Yu Tang exclaimed excitedly. Shen Yu looked at him, moved his fingers, and laughed as well.
The two could vaguely see the interior furnishings through the mirror.
There's a short entryway, followed by a sofa, carpet, wine cabinet, wardrobe, and at the far end is the bed, separated from the wallpapered bulkhead by a person's distance. A window is opened in the bulkhead, offering a view of the brightening sea and the rising red sun.
Gu Ze was on the outside of the bed, while Vasily was on the inside, near the window.
Using the mirror, Yu Tang and Shen Yu were able to see Jiang Qingguo lying on the ground.
A bloody, mangled mass, chilling to the bone.
“He did indeed kill someone,” Shen Yu said. “But this is Jiang Qingguo’s own doing. Cooperating with a serial killer from Country E will never end well.”
Yu Tang's face was a little pale.
I really regret eating too much for New Year's Eve dinner.
He calmed himself down and said, "Judging from Gu Ze's appearance, he has lost the ability to resist and has no chance of saving himself."
“That window…” Shen Yu thought of the window behind Vasily: “The windows in the luxury suites are relatively large. Although they are enclosed, you can escape by breaking the glass.”
"Conversely, if we can launch a sneak attack through that window, we should have a chance to kill Vasily."
“But we can imagine that he’s not stupid. If we keep hiding here without taking any action, he’ll definitely become suspicious, so we have to split up.”
Shen Yu's expression was calm: "I'll negotiate with Vasily here to distract him. You take the rope up there, remember the location, slide down, and shoot through the glass with your gun. It would be best if you could also shoot through his head. Then we can succeed."
Yu Tang frowned: "No..."
"I'll stay here, you go upstairs."
Shen Yu tapped his leg: "Don't you understand my legs? If I try to sneak up on you from above, I can't be as agile as you. We might both end up getting hurt."
He stroked Yu Tang's face and said, "Tang Tang, I didn't mean to send you away this time. I sent you to launch a sneak attack because I believed in your abilities."
"What I need to do is cover for you and ensure your safety and that of Gu Ze until you succeed."
“If this goes on for too long, Vasily will definitely become suspicious, so we must act quickly.” Shen Yu let go and pushed Yu Tang away.
"Let's go, Tangtang."
"Hurry up..."
Yu Tang clenched his fist, then relaxed it after a moment. He then stepped forward, grabbed Shen Yu's collar, and kissed his lips.
It bit down hard on the wound that Shen Yu had created himself.
Then she created some distance, her brown eyes fixed on the man's dark, almond-shaped eyes.
"Before I kill you with my own hands."
He let go and turned around, leaving Shen Yu with only his back and two words.
"Don't die..."
Shen Yu let out a soft breath and pursed his injured lips.
He loaded the pistol with bullets and walked three meters forward.
At this point, he was only two meters away from Vasily's room.
Then he deliberately covered his mouth to make the sound seem like it was coming from a distance.
"Vasily, what do I have to do for you to release Gu Ze?"
Vasily's voice rang out: "How many times have I told you, let the person you love most come and exchange them!"
"Having gone this far, I already know that we are doomed to die today."
But I want to see you kneel down and beg for mercy for him. I want you to lick my shoes! I want to see you cry!
"Let me tell you, Shen Yu, my patience is limited!"
"If you don't hand over your pond to me soon, I'll definitely kill Gu Ze!"
“But he’s injured.” Shen Yu’s voice was filled with hatred and pain. “He was shot while protecting me and is unconscious. I had my men carry him to find a doctor on the ship. Now I’m the only one outside your door.”
"I promised him, I will definitely rescue Gu Ze."
"So Vasily, I'll do anything you ask, I'm willing to help you escape, I just hope you won't hurt Gu Ze, and don't let Tangtang wake up disappointed in me..."
Yu Tang, who had just stepped out of the cabin, heard Xiao Jin vividly recount the conversation between Shen Yu and Vasily.
He twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I won't even watch the Best Actor award ceremony if he's not in it."
Chapter 31
The villain is resurrected for the second time (31)
Using a rope, Yu Tang avoided the crowd and climbed up the ship's mast. The process took less than five minutes. Standing at the highest point, he saw the tourists gathered on the deck.
They were still discussing the loud noise they had just heard.
But it seems like he wasn't hurt.
Some even took the opportunity to watch the sunrise at the beach.
After all, they're usually still fast asleep in bed at this time, so how could they possibly be facing the sea and watching the sun rise like this?
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Now, on the top of the cabin, he used his feet to measure the distance and, with Xiao Jin's guidance, successfully found the best landing point.
Tie one end of the rope around your waist.
The other end was tied to the railing, with both feet braced against the cabin and one hand gripping the rope as he fell down.
