The grumpy XiXi is online and ready to kill.

"How about this," Ryan cautiously looked at Ning Yu and tentatively asked, "Miss Ning, could I hire you as my personal bodyguard temporarily?"

From the previous description, Ruian gained a certain understanding of Ning Yu's combat strength.

Anyone who can drive an assassin to the point of jumping into the sea must be something special.

So Ryan came up with this "good idea".

Everyone looked at Ning Yu.

Ning Yu: "This is bad."

“I’ll pay you, you can have as much money as you want!” Ryan said quickly.

Of course, my life is more important.

Ning Yu said, "I don't like being a bodyguard."

Ryan: "As long as you and I share a room, that's fine!"

Shi Xi: You're dreaming.

Ning Yu glanced at Rui An and said calmly, "I sleep in the room next to yours. If anything happens, I can hear you."

That was a polite way of declining.

Ryan pressed his advantage, "Then, how about I sleep in your room? I can sleep on the carpet."

Leng Qiankun's lips twitched slightly.

Is the security on his cruise ship really that bad?

It does seem to be not very good.

"I prefer to sleep alone," Ning Yu firmly disagreed.

Finally, Leng Qiankun sent four bodyguards to Rui'an.

Two stood guard at the door, while two stayed inside with Ryan.

Some unpleasant thoughts flashed through Shi Xi's mind in an instant.

Hehe, hehehe.

"The meeting's over, what are you still grinning about? Doesn't your foot hurt anymore?" Xie Yunzhou asked.

"Huh? It's nothing." Shi Xi came back to her senses and said, "Let's go back and rest too."

She shouldn't have been involved in tonight's events in the first place.

Xie Yunzhou pushed Shi Xi back.

The pants were pulled off the wheels and are now usable again.

Ning Yu looked at Shi Xi, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "If you're scared at night, you can sleep with me."

Shi Xi looked up at Ning Yu, "Really?!"

"It's best not to be afraid." Ning Yu turned her head, avoiding Shi Xi's gaze. "The assassin's target isn't you. Just close the door tightly."

"I'm not afraid," Shi Xi sighed softly.

Compared to being retaliated against by the assassin, she felt that being with Ning Yu would be far more dangerous.

Back on the sixth floor, Shi Xi encountered Tao Yuxuan, who had just returned.

Upon seeing Shi Xi wearing Xie Yunzhou's coat, Tao Yuxuan's eyes immediately lit up with gossip.

"Didn't you leave the banquet a long time ago? Where did you go on your date?" Tao Yuxuan's gaze swept over the two of them.

Xie Yunzhou neither admitted nor denied it.

"I'm going back to rest first. Don't chat with your friends for too long," Xie Yunzhou said. "I'll leave the clothes here for now."

Shi Xi obediently replied, "Okay."

Tao Yuxuan took the wheelchair. "Don't worry, President Xie, I will definitely take good care of Xixi!"

Shi Xi thought to herself, "What I worry about most is being taken care of by you."

Tao Yuxuan pushed Shi Xi into the room, "I never thought you actually got together with Xie Yunzhou!"

"Watch your words. We just ran into a little trouble, that's why we're back late." Shi Xi went to the table and poured herself a glass of water.

"What happened? Did you run into an assassin?" Tao Yuxuan joked.

Shi Xi: ...That's true.

However, only a few of them knew about the encounter with the assassin, and Leng Qiankun advised them to keep it a secret.

If everyone on the cruise ship knew there was a killer, it would only cause panic.

"What a pity you left the banquet too early and missed the exciting part," Tao Yuxuan described vividly. "Right after you left, a guy who wasn't wearing pants—"
