Almost instantly, Gu Momo and the chief investigator rushed towards the dark figure!
The dark figure swiftly leaped over several railings, its agile movements resembling those of a cat demon!
Moreover, the shadowy figure seemed to be particularly familiar with the situation on the giant ship, and was able to successfully escape the encirclement of the intelligence agents every time.
Suddenly, the dark figure darted into the VIP area and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Gu Momo and the chief investigator stopped at the same time.
"VIP area? Chief Investigator, immediately send men to block all exits of the VIP area. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will! Everyone else, conduct a thorough search of all rooms and all personnel. Remember! Anyone who appears in a room, regardless of their identity, must be investigated!"
"Yes, Miss Momo!"
The chief investigator immediately waved his hand and led his men to conduct a thorough search.
Just then, Gu Momo suddenly heard a familiar scream coming from the VIP room:
"ah!"
Gu Momo froze, startled. Qingluan?!
She quickly strode towards the top-tier room, only to be met by Li Zhanting, who was chasing after her, just as she reached the door.
"Li Zhanting, what brings you here too?"
"I rushed over as soon as I got the news!"
Gu Momo barely hesitated before pushing open the door to the VIP room. She first heard a loud splash from the sea, then turned around and saw Qingluan curled up in the corner, trembling as she covered her ears.
"Qingluan! Are you alright? What happened here?"
Gu Momo rushed over and hugged Qingluan tightly. Qingluan felt the warmth of Gu Momo's body and buried her head in Gu Momo's chest in fear, saying, "Momo, there was someone... there was someone!"
"Okay, don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid of anything." Gu Momo could only gently soothe her emotions again and again.
Li Zhanting strode to the bedside, his sharp gaze carefully sweeping across the window and the seabed: "It seems the person has already jumped into the sea and escaped. This person is so familiar with the situation on the giant ship, the mastermind behind it is probably not a simple person."
"That's alright. As long as they have a motive, they'll definitely come back next time if they don't succeed this time. We're not worried about them not showing up!"
Li Zhanting nodded slightly, his slender fingers slipping into his pockets, his deep eyes gathering into dark vortexes.
Just then, the chief investigator's urgent voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Ting, Miss Gu! We've found the files on those who were just arrested! Mr. Ting and Miss Gu, should we come over immediately? Also, Miss Fu seems to be in some trouble?"
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting exchanged a glance. She quickly and gently patted Qingluan's back: "Qingluan, be good. The assassin has escaped. You can sleep in the VIP room for a while. I'll come find you later."
"Mmm." Qingluan blinked her bright, clear eyes obediently, nodding her head in a way that was heartbreaking.
Gu Momo couldn't help but chuckle. She patted Qingluan's head again before leaving the VIP room with Li Zhanting.
As soon as the two entered the lobby, they heard a stern questioning voice from the Special Affairs Bureau: "Miss Fu, we are just doing our job. Please cooperate and answer our questions."
"We have verified the identities of everyone on the giant ship, and we discovered that all of Miss Fu's bodyguards have disappeared, and their numbers match the number of assassins. Miss Fu, where are your bodyguards now?"
Seated, Fu Yunxin wore an expensive rose-colored evening gown, exuding innate nobility and luxury. The exquisite belt accentuated her slender waist, making her even more charming and sophisticated.
Even when faced with stern questioning from the Secret Service, her stunningly beautiful face remained calm and serene, her ethereal gaze seemingly detached from everything else.
"What if I told you that the bodyguards were just temporarily replaced, and I don't know the truth either? What can you do to me?"
The intelligence officers were clearly displeased with Fu Yunxin's attitude: "Ms. Fu, please watch your attitude! If you do not cooperate with our work, the intelligence agency has the right to take you inside for rigorous interrogation!"
"Whatever! You won't get anything out of them no matter how much you interrogate them!"
"Ms. Fu, we just want to ask you to answer seriously..."
Just as the intelligence officers were about to continue questioning, Li Zhanting's cold, sharp voice suddenly came from not far away: "This was not done by Miss Fu. It's just that someone is trying to use this opportunity to slander Miss Fu. You should all leave now."
When everyone looked up and saw Li Zhanting, they were briefly stunned before realizing what he meant: "Yes, Master Ting!"
Fu Yunxin then looked at Li Zhanting with a smile in her eyes: "Oh, Xiao Ting, you've already made up your mind so quickly before you've even started investigating?"
Li Zhanting stood tall and straight, his slender figure casting a long shadow on the ground, his deep eyes filled with a deep smile:
“I have reviewed the information of those dozens of assassins. They are all very ordinary people, from the bottom of society, and they don’t even have relatives or friends. Normally, the Fu family would never hire people with no background as bodyguards. So these people were actually temporarily assigned to Miss Fu by someone, just to frame her for this.”
"So Miss Fu, please think carefully: is there anyone around you who is opposing you, or do you have any enemies?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunxin's exquisite eyes curved into a meaningful smile: "Xiao Ting is indeed smart! It's Momo's good fortune to be able to entrust her to you."
Gu Momo's lips twitched. Why was she being dragged into this again?
Just then, Gu Momo's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Gu Wanrou calling.
Gu Momo's pupils narrowed slightly. She had previously entrusted Gu Wanrou with the investigation of Lan Yiren's DNA. Could it be that the results of Lan Yiren's DNA test have already come out?
She quickly walked to a corner and answered the phone: "Hello, Wanrou? How's the investigation going on your end?"
"Sister Momo, the DNA test results for Lan Yiren are in. You and Lan Yiren are not biologically related, which means you are not sisters at all!"
A chilling glint flashed in Gu Momo's dark eyes. Just as I thought!
She said that the information in the keepsake her mother left her could not be wrong, so how could Lan Yiren be her sister?
But now the question is, why does Lan Yiren consider them to be sisters, and why does she regard her and her mother as enemies?
Who instilled this idea in her, or is there some other reason?
"Wanrou, I've almost finished taking care of things here. I'm going back to see Lan Yiren right away!"
