Chapter 23.2 Three People, One Bathtub

Chapter 23.2 Three People, One Bathtub

Zhang Haiyan wanted to carry the assassins corpse, grab He Jianxis hand, and go to the third-class cabin.

Zhang Haiyan was very sensitive to people's microexpressions, so if he did something unexpected while in the same space as the hidden killers, then he should be able to find them. This was because sudden actions made peoples minute emotions immediately appear on their faces.

He was thinking that the killers definitely wouldnt expect him to carry the body and show up alone in the third-class cabin after their failed assassination attempt.

But he couldnt carry the corpse himself. He had to hide among the crowd; otherwise, he would suffer a lot since the corpse would get in the way if there were any conflicts. Moreover, there would be blind spots if he carried the corpse on his back. Zhang Haiyan was coming up with specific strategies while also making up lies to tell He Jianxi.

There are a lot of pirates here. Were going to the third-class cabin to expose them.

But the police werent on par with them at all. We should find more police officers right now.

Its too late. Theyll get rid of the evidence soon. But dont worry, there are too many people in the third-class cabin, so they wont dare do anything. We can go to the third-class cabin and intercept them. That way, they wont have the opportunity to throw the evidence into the sea.

He Jianxi was noncommittal. He felt that what Zhang Haiyan said seemed to make sense, but he also felt like something was wrong.

There were two parts to the third-class cabin area: one was the steerage (1) area and the other was the private cabin area. There were four people to a private cabin, while the steerage area was actually the cargo hold.

Many people slept on big beds in the cargo hold because it created more space to accommodate as many people as possible.

When they first arrived at the steerage area, Zhang Haiyan looked around and saw that there were shoddily-dressed civilians and vendors. He pulled the corpse from his back and directly passed it to the startled He Jianxi.

As He Jianxi started to struggle, Zhang Haiyan held him still and said, Now, just walk in. Dont worry. Those pirates dont know the real situation, so they wont act rashly. Itll keep them from destroying the evidence.

Whwhy? New novel chapters are published on

Because they don't know who you are. Theyll definitely think this is a provocation. If I stay in the dark, they wont dare do anything for fear of being discovered. Theyll only observe you.

And I will observe them, Zhang Haiyan thought to himself. He patted He Jianxis ass and then pinched it. Just as He Jianxi screamed and stepped forward to dodge, Zhang Haiyan moved to blend into the crowd.

Everyone in the steerage area heard He Jianxis scream and looked at him. He stared back at them and then reflexively walked into the crowd in a daze.

Someone immediately discovered that the person he was carrying was dead. Everyone exclaimed and started retreating when they saw that the corpses throat had been crushed.

Zhang Haiyans tongue pressed against the blades in his mouth as he hid amongst the crowd. He observed He Jianxis surroundings with a swift gaze, scanning as many faces as possible.

The most conspicuous person in the crowd was Hudson. Not only was he an American with a long beard, but he was also a member of Miss Dongs weapons team. Zhang Haiyan had met him when he was on the ship before.

Based on the look on his face, Zhang Haiyan knew he was looking for prostitutes in the third-class cabin.

There was a girl with long hair beside him, who seemed to be having a conversation with him. There was another girl with short hair standing close to them with her arms crossed in front of her chest and looking around warily.

When He Jianxi walked over, the two women were taken aback. Their reactions were obviously different compared to everyone else.

Zhang Haiyan narrowed his eyes. He tried to carefully recall the gestures and movements of the two opponents hed fought just now.

The two women had almost completely erased their femininity when they fought him. These two girls in front of him had obvious feminine characteristics, so it was hard to associate them with the killers. But peoples postures and habits couldnt be changed.

It was them.

Zhang Haiyan looked around, but couldnt see anyone else who was suspicious. Is it possible that there are only two people?

If there were only two people, then he could directly take care of them. But there were still too many blind spots that kept him from seeing things clearly.

Zhang Haiyan kept his distance from He Jianxi and slowly approached the two girls by wading through the distracted crowd. While one of the young women wasnt looking, he passed by and stole a handkerchief from her waist.

He Jianxi looked at Bai Zhu, got a whiff of her scent, and immediately said, Thats her. She was the one who fought you. She smells the same as the killer.

Zhang Haiyan turned to look at He Jianxi. Do you know how embarrassing it is right now? With that said, he patted the corpse on He Jianxis back. When the corpse fell to the ground, they noticed all the killers gathering around them.

Zhang Haiyan counted the number of people and knew he couldnt defeat them. Moreover, there were too many of them. As long as they surrounded the two of them and said it was a brawl, those on the outside wouldnt even be able to see what was going on inside.

Without an ounce of hesitation, Zhang Haiyan grabbed He Jianxi and started running wildly towards the cargo holds exit.

Since he wasnt far away from it, he managed to rush out in an instant and make it to the corridor. It was really dark, and there werent any people around. There was a ladder there that would lead to the upper deck, but at almost the exact same moment he jumped onto it, he saw Bai Zhu appear out of the corner of his eye.

Bai Zhu had spikes in each hand, and used them to pierce Zhang Haiyan right on the ass. Zhang Haiyan immediately released his hold on He Jianxi, who lost his balance and landed directly on the girls face. With her vision blocked by He Jianxis ass, the spikes pierced the ladder, causing sparks to fly.

The girl felt embarrassed and immediately became furious. Zhang Haiyan grabbed He Jianxis neck and pulled him back, but the girl started stabbing at whatever was in front of her. When the spikes pierced He Jianxis pants, the girl immediately twisted them and hooked the pants directly.

Zhang Haiyan was up there pulling He Jianxis neck while the girl was down there pulling his pants. He Jianxs whole body was stretched straight as an arrow.

Desperate, Zhang Haiyan unfastened He Jianxis belt, and the pants were immediately ripped off.

Zhang Haiyan saw that the belt was about to be pulled off along with the pants, so he immediately stepped forward, grabbed it, and hauled He Jianxi up.

As Bai Zhu fell over, more people came out and chased them. Zhang Haiyan pulled the now pantless He Jianxi onto his back and leaped onto the deck as if he were flying. Without looking back, he jumped directly onto the outer wall of the first-class cabin and climbed up level by level like a monkey.

There were balconies on both sides.

His room number was 345, which should have been on the third floor. But wheres the third floor? Screw it!

Zhang Haiyan picked a random balcony that looked pleasing to the eye and then jumped to it directly.

The balcony lights were still on, so he rolled into the room. That was when he saw a naked Steven coming out of the bathroom while shaving his beard.

What a coincidence! Zhang Haiyan looked around. Its Stevens room. No wonder the balcony looks so familiar.

He had unexpectedly come back again.

The two men were stunned. Steven looked at the topless man carrying a pantless man while standing in front of his naked body.

Its you!

Zhang Haiyan didnt give Steven a chance to yell and immediately threw He Jianxi at him. Although He Jianxi wasnt heavy, this throwing method still managed to knock Steven back into the bathtub.

Steven was very strong. Although he looked like a gentleman, he had a surprising amount of strength and was able to stand back up almost immediately.

Zhang Haiyan charged at him without warning and pressed him back into the bathtub. As all three of them fell into the tub, Zhang Haiyan headbutted Steven and knocked him out.

Everything happened so fast.

He Jianxi seemed to come to his senses a little and saw that he and two other men were squeezed into a bathtub full of foam.

He didnt speak, but looked as if he was on the verge of tears.
