Chapter 212
In the next few days, news was spread throughout the spaceship that Louis had a very different attitude towards the hostage prince Cyril.
At first, the subordinate who was responsible for changing the aquarium’s water said that Louis would come personally and take Xi Ning to the bathroom to let him take a bath. But in the end, the news became that Louis would break into Xi Ning’s bathroom every day when he was taking a bath and took a long time inside with Xi Ning before coming out.
The pirates felt this was unbelievable. Except for a few henchmen, they had never seen anyone get so close with Louis.
Not to mention that Xi Ning was a hostage that would be exchanged for ransom. It seemed that even Louis, who had never liked beauty, couldn’t resist the charm of the sea merman.
Xi Ning didn’t know what was going on outside, but he did feel that Louis’ attitude was much better than when he first met him.
Langdon brought him to a new room, which should have been arranged by Louis. Louis also asked someone to change the water for himself, and he personally came to take him to the bathroom every day.
He still didn’t understand why Louis would carry him into the bathroom to take a shower every day……it felt weird.
Xi Ning told the system about this, but the system was very speechless, “Of course he doesn’t want others to touch master. I already told you last time, he already fell in love with you.”
Xi Ning did not refute. He slightly swayed his fish tail that was floating in the water and decided to test it out.
In the afternoon, Louis came over and took him to take a bath as usual. After changing the water, Xi Ning leaned on the edge of the aquarium, reached out and touched Louis’s hand and smiled at him. “Thank you.”
Louis stared at his smiling face and his half closed his eyes. He then bent down and said, “You are a very expensive fish. Even a strand of hair is worth tens of thousands of dollars. I’d be regretful if anything happened to you while in my care.”
When Xi Ning heard the words, he slowly put away his smile and glared at him. He turned his head and dived into the water and turned his back to Louis. He flapped his fish tail and water splashed at Louis’s face and shirt.
Louis laughed instead of being angry, leaning back in the chair and watching Xi Ning for a while before getting up and leaving the room.
On his way back, a subordinate saw his clothes were wet, and was shocked. “Boss, who i=was so bold to get your clothes wet……”
Louis was in a good mood, and said casually, “No one. Go back to work.”
When he returned to his room, Langdon was waiting outside his door and when he saw Louis come back. He squatted down with his head in his arms, “Boss, I am sorry……”
Langdon has been busy deciphering the signals of the Federation in these past few days. But the one-day deadline he promised Louis could never be fulfilled. Fortunately, Louis didn’t remember to check on him, so he safely deciphered the code before leaving the communication room.
He has been ignorant from the news that was spread in these past few days. He only heard from Fat Di that Louis had been to Xi Ning’s room, and he also ordered people to change the water in the aquarium.
Louis asked him to take care of the fifty million, but he was still negligent. Louis even had to take care of it personally. Langdon felt that his days were coming to an end.
Louis ignored him, opened the door and walked in. Langdon stood up and followed behind him. “Boss, I am really sorry, I will take care of your fifty million in the future, isn’t it just changing the water? I’ll……”
“There’s no need for you to, anymore.” Louis took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, unconsciously touching the place on the back of his hand that Xi Ning had just touched. “I’ve already arranged all of it.”
Seeing that he didn’t get mad at him, Langdon felt a little uncomfortable and was also surprised. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, boss, that fish won’t have any problems in our hands. Besides, the signal to negotiate with the Federation has already been sent, It won’t take long to get our hands on the fifty million……”
“It’s already sent?” Louis turned his head, his expression not looking good. “When did you send it? Why has no one informed me?”
Langdon was shocked, “But, but……”
It was Louis who urged him before, and he took a lot of effort and finally managed to decipher it. Of course, he sent the signal immediately after he finished deciphering it. The location of the Federation was far away from here, but the signal was estimated to arrive very soon.
“Withdraw it immediately,” Louis said with a sullen face, “if you can’t withdraw it, you are the one that will be sent to the Federation.”
Langdon ran away as fast as he could, rushed back to the communication room to check the transmission status of the signal and madly clicked the withdraw button. Luckily the signal demanding a ransom to the Federation was successfully withdrawn.
Langdon breathed a sigh of relief in front of the screen. He collapsed on the chair, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
