My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 255: Two hundred fifty-four, dare not investigate. Chapter 255: Two hundred fifty-four, dare not investigate. The dark sea was heaving with massive waves that kept a cruise ship bobbing up and down, adrift and alone.

People huddled together in fear. They didn’t know how to control the cruise ship and could only let it drift aimlessly at sea.

“If I’d known, I would have left with them on the lifeboat,” someone lamented. It was somewhat bearable during the day, but at night, the expanse was pitch-black and terrifying—nothing but sea as far as the eye could see.

“Maybe those people have already been engulfed by the sea.”

“Exactly, with such huge waves out there, it’s a wonder that tiny lifeboat didn’t capsize.”

“Did you all hear something?”

“It sounds like a helicopter.”

After listening intently, they did indeed hear the sound of a helicopter. Everyone got up and left the cabin, only to see a helicopter circling above the cruise ship.

“They’re here to rescue us, right?” someone said, delighted.

“There are boats too, look!” someone else noticed three boats were heading their way.

On one of the boats, a dark-haired man peered through binoculars at the situation on the cruise ship, “It’s impossible that it’s only these women.” He didn’t believe that these ladies could have wiped out a branch of the Black Group, yet this was indeed the ship that had left from the branch area, and satellite photos showed that only this ship had left.

As the boat neared the cruise ship, the dark-haired man boarded with several subordinates.

Once onboard, the subordinates surrounded everyone on the ship.

The dark-haired man swept his gaze over the crowd; his eyes fell on a woman, “Tell me how you got off the island, and who wiped out the island’s people.”

The woman shook her head fearfully, “I don’t know.” Her memory was foggy; she felt like she had an impression, but when she tried to remember, she couldn’t recall anything.

The man’s expression darkened, and he pulled the trigger of the weapon in his hand.

“Bang!” The woman fell to the ground.

“Ah!” Everyone on the scene screamed in horror.

“Shut up!” the dark-haired man yelled coldly.

Everyone was trembling with fear, crying softly with their heads down, but they dared not make a sound.

“I’ll give you a minute to think. If no one answers my question, I’ll toss you all into the sea to feed the sharks,” the dark-haired man threatened in a deep voice, his bloodthirsty gaze sweeping over the people.

“All I know is that, after our ship left the island, some people got off,” someone stammered, filled with regret for not having disembarked with them.

“How many?” the dark-haired man asked coldly.

The other person thought carefully and said uncertainly, “About twelve, I think.” She couldn’t really remember.

The dark-haired man looked at the others, who quickly nodded in agreement.

“Where did they get off the boat?” he continued. Those who dared to disembark in the middle of this vast sea were no ordinary people; the one who wiped out the branch must be among them.

“We don’t know; after they disembarked, we stayed inside the cabin. We can’t navigate the ship and were just left to drift,” the people explained.

The dark-haired man nodded to his subordinates, who immediately stepped forward, tied everyone up, and took them into the cabin.

Pulling out a walkie-talkie, the dark-haired man said, “Search the sea with all your might. Don’t miss any boat.” He was sure those people were still on the sea.

Lu Tingxuan came to the door of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen’s room, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked. Last night he kept wondering why he felt so familiar with a young girl he had just met. But no matter how long he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out why.

He had never met Song Yan Ning and, given his character, it was impossible for him to fall in love at first sight with a young girl he had just met. He admitted that the girl was attractive, but she was only twelve or thirteen—a child. He wasn’t into anything special, so how could he like a young girl?

After knocking for a long time, there was no movement inside the room.

Lu Tingxuan frowned, thought for a moment, and released a strand of Divine Sense into the room. Finding it empty, he was slightly taken aback and immediately extended his Divine Sense to cover the entire ship, but he couldn’t find Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. When had they disembarked?

He scanned the lifeboats on the side of the ship; none were missing. Lu Tingxuan’s frown deepened. Could they be not ordinary people, but Cultivators like himself? Even if they were Cultivators, they couldn’t just vanish without a trace.

“Young Master Lu!” a crew member ran over.

“What is it?” Lu Tingxuan turned to the crew member.

“People are stopping our boat and want to search it.”

Lu Tingxuan scanned with his Divine Sense and started walking outside.

The dark-haired man was slightly taken aback when he saw Lu Tingxuan. Although the young man wasn’t old, he felt a domineering presence that commanded respect. Clearly, this young man was no ordinary person.

“You’re the ones who stopped my boat?” Lu Tingxuan looked indifferently at the dark-haired man.

“Yes, we’re chasing several fugitives; have you seen them?” the dark-haired man asked politely. He did not want to offend the young master.

“No.” Lu Tingxuan turned to the crew member beside him, “Send them down. Do not disturb my guests.” He surmised the man was pursuing Song Yan Ning and the others.

“We’d like to search your boat,” the dark-haired man stated. Having boarded the boat, it was not so simple to just leave.

“Are you sure you want to search?” Lu Tingxuan took out a card and handed it to the dark-haired man.

The dark-haired man glanced at the card and quickly bowed respectfully to Lu Tingxuan, “Sorry for the disturbance!” No wonder the young man had that aura; he turned out to be the Young Master of the K Group.

The K Group occupied the top spot on the list of the world’s 100 most influential entities, holding a crucial position worldwide. Its power spanned the globe; once, a century-old power challenged the K Group, only to disappear the very next day. And thus, the K Group was designated by their other powers as an existence not to be provoked.

Watching the dark-haired man and his subordinates swiftly depart, Lu Tingxuan’s lips curled slightly. Judging by their insignia, these men were from the Black Group. He hadn’t expected that young girl and the young man with her to be so capable as to mess with the Black Group.

He had heard a bit about the misdeeds the Black Group had done over the years and had long entertained the thought of eliminating them. Now that he was feeling a bit bored, he decided it was time for a personal visit.

The dark-haired man returned to his own boat, feeling a vague unease, as if something was about to happen. Had he known it was the K Group’s boat, he definitely wouldn’t have gone on board.
