Chapter 562 -331: Using Your Brain

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Chu was momentarily taken aback, then couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle.

‘He gets it.’

‘Knows what’s good for him.’

‘No wonder this guy has shoulder insignias… Look at how cleanly and decisively he handled that. His path in life must be a smooth one.’

Han Xingmin felt his stomach churn. After the initial shock and bewilderment, he quickly grasped the situation.

The cruise ship’s staff clearly wasn’t going to side with him.

Not from any angle.

Wealth, status, and the fact that he was the one secretly taking photos.

His biggest mistake had been getting careless. He had wanted to learn more, so he had followed them.

But now, there was no way to salvage the situation.

“I have something to say, Mr. Shuangmu! It’s very important information, but I can only tell you.”

At this moment, his thoughts raced as he spoke, his eyes fixed on Lin Chu. Even when he had accused them of being “murderers,” he hadn’t exposed Lin Chu’s true identity.

Without a doubt, *that* was the more important piece of information.

‘In this situation, the cruise ship staff definitely won’t protect me,’ he thought. ‘My only option is Lin Chu.’

Hearing this, Liu Chenhui’s interest was piqued. He had already tried pressuring the kid, but he hadn’t said a thing. Now that the ship’s security had arrived and laid him out with two solid punches, he naturally knew he couldn’t hold out any longer… ‘He’s a sharp one, at least.’

Liu Chenhui immediately translated this for Lin Chu.

Lin Chu calmly glanced at Han Xingmin, seeing the pleading and expectant look in his eyes—a gaze overflowing with the will to survive. He shrugged but ignored him for the moment, turning instead to the head of security and extending his hand with a smile.

Seeing this friendly gesture, Leon Vincent couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. He grasped Lin Chu’s hand and shook it twice, firmly and warmly.

‘If all goes well…’

‘This little storm has been settled, for now.’

The cruise ship no longer faced the risk of having to dock and deal with police involvement.

…

What happened next was simple.

The “interrogation” of Han Xingmin.

Dealing with the ship’s head of security.

Reviewing the surveillance footage.

In the surveillance room, Lin Chu sipped a fragrant coffee while chatting casually with Leon Vincent through a simultaneous interpreter device.

“This has truly been an unforgettable trip. To be honest, I’ve run into some trouble, like these messy characters, but this sort of thing happens so often I’m used to it.”

“This is a wonderful ship, and your service is very professional. I liked those two punches of yours. Looked like Muay Thai or something.”

Vincent couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, sir, it is Muay Thai. I studied it before. Before I started working on the ship, I was a UFC fighter. Haha, but that was a long time ago. You know how it is—being a fighter isn’t exactly a long-term career.”

With the storm having passed without a trace, Vincent was also in a good mood now.

Although he still had a few suspicions, he was wise enough not to ask about them.

One suspicion was that this gentleman before him actually needed a translator device to have a conversation!

It was absurd.

But, considering the trouble it could cause, he chose to ignore it.

The second suspicion he chose to ignore was what the South Korean guy had said about them being murderers.

‘Murderers? Where?’

‘How could there possibly be murderers?’

‘The Ocean Harmony is the most high-end, secure luxury cruise ship in the world. How could there possibly be a murderer on board?’

“The right choice. Hmm, yes, I just picked up a wallet. It must be yours, right?”

Lin Chu casually tossed him a bulging wallet, then lit a cigarette as if it were nothing. Without giving him a chance to refuse or accept, he continued, “When does the cruise ship arrive in Dubai?”

“A Prince will be there to pick me up. I don’t want these foolish idiots making any more irrational decisions then.”

Vincent was taken aback. At a glance, the wallet looked like it contained at least tens of thousands of USD. The man’s words, moreover, made him even more cautious.

Dubai was an important stop on their route for shopping and resupplying. The news that a Prince was coming to pick someone up was a bombshell.

“Haha, this is my wallet. Thank you. Regarding the Prince, what would you like us to do?”

Vincent asked politely, a smile appearing on his face.

“There are several people in the surveillance footage. I want them all arrested and handed over to the local authorities. We won’t interrogate them on the ship. Professional matters should be left to the professionals.”

“Don’t worry, they’ll handle all the procedures. Of course, we’ll need your cooperation.”

“I’d rather not have such a wonderful voyage ruined by a few idiots.”

Lin Chu had a very clear grasp of the other man’s core motivation; he’d known it the moment Vincent threw those two punches.

‘Who I am doesn’t matter to the cruise company.

Who the people taking photos of me are also doesn’t matter to them.

What matters, to the vast majority of ordinary tourists and to the cruise line, is that the company’s reputation and the experience of this voyage are not affected in any way.’

Vincent sniffed and nodded with a smile.

“Of course, sir. I will do my utmost.”

‘Talking with a smart person really is a pleasant experience.’

‘This man before me, without a doubt, lacks nothing in confidence, backing, methods, or intelligence.’

“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you one thing. That idiot still lying in the infirmary has already been persuaded. He almost thought I was going to report him to the police for espionage… He’s probably weeping his eyes out right now.”
