Chapter 47 Doing everything, serving, self-recommending, Fu Ze felt that Yuan Jianxing...

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat serious during the conversation, instantly changed.

His vision was suddenly filled with a warm, luminous white light, and Yuan Jianxing's pupils trembled involuntarily.

At the same time, the surrounding decorations, which already carried some kind of implication, finally seized the opportunity and swept in, launching an all-round attack on Yuan Jianxing.

Although Hara Mihoshi had seen even more egregious situations before, he always approached them as an executive officer, resolving disputes from a third-party perspective.

As for becoming the protagonist, this is truly the first time ever.

Yuan Jianxing was a little at a loss and immediately wanted to distance herself from Fu Ze to calm down.

But the headboard behind him blocked his way once again.

Unfortunately, with plenty of cushioning, Yuan Jianxing's rare panic didn't make a sound, and naturally, Fu Ze, who was looking down, didn't notice it.

Fu Ze, feeling helpless as the correct sensation failed to materialize on his neck, explained, "Almost everyone on the cruise ship, including Badger Tooth, knows what happened recently, but knowing and seeing are two different things. We have to go all out with this charade."

Yuan Jianxing, head held high, looked at the abstract art mural on the wall in the distance, her words full of refusal: "Can't you just pinch one yourself?"

“Sir, you don’t know what badger teeth are usually used for, do you? How could such a low-quality counterfeit escape his eyes?” Fu Zeyi said sternly. “Hurry up, the ship is about to return to port, and I still have to supervise this first test.”

Upon hearing the word "experiment," Yuan Jianxing's attention shifted slightly.

Yes, from secretly coordinating the system upgrade in Dala Port to changing his identity and appearance to infiltrate this cruise ship, his core goal has always been to investigate the truth about the so-called "key" and then resolve the issue concerning the Cumming Group.

Now, all it takes is a small, negligible act of deception to provide a safer environment for one's companions.

No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire way to make money.

But……

Yuan Jianxing recalled the scene when he first heard the words "I betrayed my interests to love you" in the corridor, and how his mind exploded like a supernova and then suddenly closed up.

Although he repeatedly told himself that it was an accident pieced together by various unrepeatable coincidences, even if the probability of it happening again was extremely small, he did not want the same situation to occur again at some crucial moment.

The prerequisite for avoiding a problem is knowing its root cause.

Alright, then let practice prove the truth.

As for the result... we'll have to wait until the results are out.

After tracing the back of Fu Ze's front teeth with the tip of his tongue, Yuan Jianxing finally made up his mind. He turned his head, slightly parted his lips, and gently leaned down to peck at the spot between the tips of Fu Ze's index and middle fingers.

To make it easier for Yuan Jianxing to perform, Fu Ze withdrew his finger used for positioning after sensing the warm breath coming from the other party's nasal cavity.

At this moment, in the ears of the two people who were so close that they could practically whisper sweet nothings to each other, there were only two long breaths and the wet, sucking sounds.

However, this delicate balance was soon broken.

"That's too light. This isn't something Alexei would do." Fu Ze was the first to remove his neck, and he pointed out Yuan Jianxing's mistake seriously. "Think about it, how could a playboy who's always flirting with women be so gentle with a one-night stand he just had a crush on?"

Hara Mihoshi: ...

Oh, not bad, very good, you know so much.

While Fu Ze was still diligently explaining the subtle connections and differences between personality and behavior to the "log" in front of him, the "log" directly grabbed Fu Ze's collar, forcing him to return to his previous posture as if in a contest.

Then he began to nibble at the skin that was slightly red from the gentle sucking.

Perhaps it was Fu Ze's guidance that worked, or perhaps it was the inexplicable anger he was suppressing, but Yuan Jianxing's actions this time were far more brutal than before.

If the previous act of leaving a trace was like a dragonfly skimming the water, then this time it's like a torrential downpour.

The tongue, which was slightly rough against the lips, repeatedly licked the same spot, as if it wanted to scrape off a layer of Fu Ze's skin.

The teeth that had been carefully concealed were now revealed, biting and pulling at the skin that was covered.

If the other party's actions hadn't remained within the limits he had set, Fu Ze would have even suspected that Yuan Jianxing intended to bite him to death.

When the sensation on his skin changed from a "subtle itch" to "obvious pain," he immediately called for a stop: "That's enough, that's enough, any more and you'll overdo it."

Yuan Jianxing stopped what he was doing the moment Fu Ze expressed his protest.

Immediately, a distinct "pop" sound of lips parting drifted into Fu Ze's ear, along with a teasing voice carrying a slight pant—

"You're quite difficult to please."

Fu Ze: ?

Who's really serving whom here?!

As if he had completed an ordinary task, Yuan Jianxing calmly returned to his original position at the head of the bed, and casually pulled the blanket that Fu Ze had previously pressed down on him to his front to use as a canvas.

"The most urgent task is to ensure the successful completion of the first transport and find the weakness of [teleportation]." He quickly sketched a topographical map of the Dala Port entertainment area. "But my position as the first mate is no longer valid, so I can't directly participate in it."

Fu Ze pointed to Alexei, who was fast asleep on the sunken sofa, and asked, "Can't he be used?"

"Putting aside whether this person has the corresponding driver's license, even if he does, considering his status, his sudden offer of help to Badger Tooth would definitely arouse suspicion." Yuan Jianxing said, "You just told me something about 'personality determines actions,' and now that we're doing something serious, you've already forgotten?"

Fu Ze: ...

He felt that Yuan Jianxing was openly retaliating against him.

"The best solution is for you to go in my place." Yuan Jianxing didn't dwell on it much and continued with the arrangements. "How's your driving?"

Fu Ze recalled his glorious feat of driving the Demon Lizard 757 all the way from the Central Hub to the Fengyue Building without letting up, and said modestly, "Not bad. But driving a boat is quite different from driving a car, is this okay?"

“Right now, all vehicle companies are trying to integrate driving logic to make it universally applicable. So although there are some differences, they are within an acceptable range.” Yuan Jianxing nodded. “And I will tell you how to drive it, so you just need to follow the instructions.”

As he spoke, Yuan Jianxing opened his palm, on which lay a communicator small enough to be hidden in his ear canal.

Fu Ze readily took the communicator and skillfully pushed it deep into his ear canal. "I've never sailed a boat before, and I'm a little excited."

"Excitement aside, don't mess things up." Yuan Jianxing rolled off the bed and, with his back to Fu Ze, wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth that remained from his earlier actions. "It's almost time. You should get going. I'll handle things with Alexei as needed."

"Received, mission accomplished."

Fu Ze quickly changed into the executive officer's uniform, bowed to Yuan Jianxing, and then walked backwards out the door.

-

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open behind him, Badger Tooth, who was outside the driver's seat, glanced back and raised an eyebrow.

Before the other party could ask, Fu Ze explained, "He's still sleeping. I thought it was about time, so I came to check on the situation here."

Noticing the bright red mark on Fu Ze's side of his neck, Badger Tooth didn't ask any more questions.

This is exactly the effect Fu Ze was aiming for.

Standing next to Badger Tooth, Fu Ze deliberately asked with concern, "You seem quite anxious?"

Badger Tooth managed to twitch the corner of his mouth.

With such a major mishap in the mission, how could he not be anxious?

Moreover, at this time—nighttime, at this location—at sea, and with the client—Kangming Group—finding someone willing to cover for you at the last minute would be extremely difficult.

Following Badger Tooth's gaze toward the cockpit, Fu Ze suddenly realized: "You're short one person to drive the boat, right?"

Seeing that Badger Tooth didn't deny it, he immediately volunteered: "What do you think of me?"

Badger Tooth was first shocked, then overjoyed.

Having someone you know perfectly well about the mission is always better than temporarily bringing in someone from outside.

But suddenly, he realized an important problem.

"Can you sail a boat?" Badger Tooth looked at Fu Ze suspiciously.

He had only heard that Fu Ze was a good shot, but his driving skills were rather average.

Moreover, there is a significant difference between driving a car and sailing a boat, and an ordinary person would absolutely not be able to handle it without training.

"I've never formally taken any certification exams, but I've attended quite a few special selection meetings." Relying on Badger Tooth's superficial understanding of the Executive's curriculum, Fu Ze began to spout nonsense.

There are still some concerns about badger teeth.

If Fu Ze were to deliberately cause trouble during the process, I would have to point out his operational errors, and then he would probably indirectly discover the limitations of Rhinoceros Horn's [Mirror Image] ability in this way.

If Fu Ze finds out, then it won't be long before Lu Er finds out.

Although this woman had sworn an oath never to set foot in anyone else's territory unless required by Dragonspine, and had indeed done so for many years.

But the situation is different now.

Since the research institute obtained the [Key] and gradually advanced its research, enabling Dragon Spine to control the power of the [Key] and distribute some of that power to other high-ranking members, it's hard to guarantee that no one will covet the power of the others.

In short, it is very inappropriate to entrust one's safety to others.

Badger Tooth pushed up his glasses and turned his gaze to the distant, clearly visible port of Dara.

The place was brightly lit, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Hidden among these lights is a convoy of cars, led by Rhinoceros Horn himself, poised to depart.

Given the current situation, coupled with Rhinoceros Horn's determination to complete the mission... it seems he can no longer afford to make long-term plans.

Seeing that Badger Tooth didn't respond, Fu Ze took the initiative to escalate the situation: "At this point, if we want to seize the window of opportunity for the Dala Port system upgrade, we have to try anything, even if it seems hopeless."

"Besides, I don't need to joke with you about something like this. If we don't complete the mission within the time limit, we're both doomed." As he spoke, Fu Ze brushed aside a few damp strands of hair near his ear.

He then pushed the communicator that Yuan Jianxing had given him into his ear even deeper.

In terms of pressure, while Badger Tooth's superior, Rhinoceros Horn, is far away on the shore, his own superior is "right beside his ear."

Author's Note: After three drawn-out chapters, we're finally getting back to the plot we all love most! [glasses]

I lose hair every time I write a romance chapter; I need to write some plot to help me recover.

But the readers are all so silent during the parts of the story! Please comment, even just a paw print would be appreciated! [crying emoji]
