Chapter 219 Wait for the Big Fish
He chuckled, his tone tinged with disdain, "Besides, if we only receive guests around five or six in the afternoon, once they board the ship and see so many beautiful women on board, their minds will be elsewhere. They'll clearly be there to enjoy themselves, not to discuss business."
While he was thinking, Xiaomi quietly walked over carrying a food box, gently placed the food box on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Sir, breakfast is here. There's soup and water, all bought locally, and it's hot."
Yan Shuo nodded, bent down and opened the food box, inside were a few simple breakfast items and a bowl of warm soup.
He casually picked up a flat wooden plank from the shore, placed it on the ground as a stool, sat down, and put his food box on the plank, pretending to be a person who had come to fish.
Holding a fishing rod, he seemed focused on the river, but his eyes were actually glancing at the yacht a few hundred meters away. He ate something while continuing to ponder.
"It's already past ten o'clock, and neither have any guests arrived nor has Prince Haruhito himself shown up. It seems we'll have to wait a little longer."
He took a bite of the bun, his eyes gradually becoming sharp: "Wait a little longer, until 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, or at the latest 2 o'clock in the afternoon. If by 2 o'clock no one has come and we haven't seen the figure of Shinohara Haruhito, then we can conclude that these two yachts are not for discussing serious business at all, but are just a pretext for Shinohara Haruhito to enjoy himself and squander money under the guise of entertaining guests."
The steam rising from the soup bowl blurred his features, but the murderous intent in his eyes remained undiminished. He gently stirred the soup, secretly calculating in his mind: No matter what Xianyuan Gong Chunren is up to, as long as he dares to go to sea, as long as he dares to appear in my sight, I dare to kill him, I will not give him any chance, and it will also be a way to seek some justice for those dead people.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the fishy smell of the river. Yan Shuo remained seated under the tree, leisurely eating his breakfast while discreetly monitoring the yacht's movements. The fishing rod in his hand was merely an ornament; his attention was entirely focused on the luxury yacht, quietly awaiting the appearance of Xianyuan Gong Chunren and for his prediction to be confirmed.
A river breeze blew, carrying a hint of weariness. Yan Shuo leaned against a tree trunk, holding a fishing rod, pretending to be focused on fishing, but in reality, his eyelids were practically glued shut.
He waited from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., a full four hours, but there was not a sound from the yacht. He was about to doze off.
Just then, Xiaomi suddenly leaned down slightly, close to his ear, and whispered a reminder that only the two of them could hear: "Sir, someone's coming!"
"Huh?" Yan Shuo jolted awake, instantly dispelling his drowsiness. He rubbed his eyes, slowly raised his head, but dared not look directly at the dock. He only glanced at it discreetly from the corner of his eye, asking in a low voice, "Where? Oh right, is it Xianyuan Gong Chunren?"
He was extremely cautious, muttering to himself: Who knows if there are any strange experts on the other side? What if some idiot is scanning around with binoculars? It would be troublesome if he were spotted. He had worked so hard to disguise himself until now, he couldn't let it all go to waste.
Xiaomi remained standing, her back to the dock, and replied calmly but clearly: "Six observers with binoculars have been spotted over there, each looking in a different direction. One of them is looking this way right now."
Yan Shuo raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly surprised, yet still casual: "Oh? You can see that clearly?"
"Yes, sir, I am a creation of cutting-edge technology, and I inherently possess the ability to observe from afar."
Xiaomi responded casually, adding, "Besides, I'm currently observing them with my back to them, using a hidden probe on the back of my neck. They won't notice."
"Heh, it comes with its own telescope, not bad, not bad, kudos system!" Yan Shuo chuckled, then asked, "How many are still watching me now?"
"Currently, only one is still watching you; the other has turned in another direction, but he keeps scanning back and forth, so there's a high probability he'll see you again."
"Well, as long as it doesn't affect anything, it's fine." Yan Shuo waved his hand, his tone nonchalant. "I'm just an ordinary fisherman, staying here quietly. I'm not affecting what they're doing. Let him watch if he wants. If he dares to come looking for me, then we'll talk about other things."
"Yes, sir." Xiaomi responded and said no more, continuing to monitor the dock with the probe, remaining vigilant and ready to report any new developments at any time.
A brief silence fell over the surroundings once again, with only the sound of the river wind lapping against the shore. Yan Shuo held his fishing rod, still pretending to be focused on fishing, but his eyes never left the yacht at the dock.
Not long after, Xiaomi's voice rang out again, this time with a more serious tone: "They're here, sir. More than 50 soldiers have arrived first, all of them privates, sergeants, and lieutenants. They all look elite, and the defenses are very tight."
"Hmm." Yan Shuo nodded slightly, his expression still calm, but he had already begun to calculate in his mind. These elites should be Xianyuan Gong Chunren's personal guards. It seems that this guy is quite afraid of his life.
Then, Xiaomi added, "Sir, another person dressed as an aristocrat has arrived. He is dressed in gorgeous and high-class attire, wearing a royal stand-up collar robe. There are also gold chrysanthemum patterns embroidered in different places on his clothes. He should be the person you are looking for."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shuo finally raised his eyes, quickly glanced in the direction of the dock, then looked away and called out in his mind, "Xiao Zhi, who is that? Confirm their identity."
Xiao Zhi's voice, with a touch of playfulness, quickly echoed in his mind: "Host, it's confirmed, it's Prince Haruhito Kan'in, a member of the Japanese Imperial Family."
"Prince level?" Yan Shuo asked casually.
"No, host, he's just a member of a collateral branch of the royal family, kind of like the Emperor's cousin. He's not a particularly important figure."
Yan Shuo's eyes lit up, his tone tinged with amusement: "Oh? A member of the collateral branch, huh? So it's alright if he dies, right? Won't it cause too much of a stir?"
"Death still has some impact, after all, he is of royal blood."
Xiao Zhi's tone became more serious. "I estimate that some high-ranking Japanese officers will be killed along with them, such as committing seppuku to atone for their sins. That will save you a lot of trouble."
"Hmm, that works too. If one member of the royal family dies, a few high-ranking officials will be dragged down with him. It's not a bad deal."
Yan Shuo said calmly, his tone completely unwavering, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"Shall we blow them up now?" Xiao Zhi immediately suggested, his tone tinged with excitement. "I'm ready anytime."
"No rush." Yan Shuo waved his hand and said patiently, "Let's see how things go first. Blowing it up would certainly allow us to escape, but what if he still has customers who haven't arrived yet? Wouldn't we miss out on a big catch? Let's wait a bit longer."
