Chapter 569: What a Huge Surprise

Chapter 569 -334: What a Huge Surprise

By the next afternoon, a faint coastline was finally visible on the endless sea.

About an hour later, the cruise ship docked at the port.

Lin Chu stood at the bow, his hair dancing in the whipping sea wind.

“Boss, the car is ready.”

Liu Chenhui spoke softly beside him. To his right was Leon Vincent. A courtesy car had already been prepared on the ship.

Now that they had arrived, Leon Vincent inwardly breathed a small sigh of relief. He was finally about to send this big shot on his way.

A number of military police, armed with live ammunition, could already be seen at the port.

As the ship was docking, it had already radioed ahead, and it was berthed according to protocols for a visiting dignitary.

Before long, a Mercedes courtesy car drove out of the ship’s cargo bay, disembarked, and entered the port.

At that moment, many passengers preparing to disembark for some sightseeing stared, dumbfounded. A group of local military police had completely surrounded the exit with a security detail fit for a head of state.

The ones at the very front had even boarded the ship.

‘What kind of big shot is this?’

A scene like this was quite rare, and many people even took out their phones to record, speculating wildly.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Lin Chu watched the scene unfold. His expression remained unchanged, save for a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

‘Not bad.’

An Yunzhi, sitting beside him, looked at him with some surprise. “Are these… your people?”

Lin Chu just smiled nonchalantly and nodded.

She fell silent.

Lin Chu had mentioned before that he had some friends and a bit of influence in Dubai, but she never imagined it was to this extent.

‘This is insane, isn’t it?’

‘So high-profile.’

‘Then again, when you’re abroad, you can never be too high-profile.’

After they got out of the courtesy car from the cruise ship, a Gold Rolls-Royce soon came into view. It glittered under the brilliant sunlight, so bright it was almost blinding.

Two people stood at the front of the car.

One was Lu Ming, dressed in a sharp suit, his hair impeccably styled.

The other was Rashid, wearing a white robe, the local traditional attire.

‘Lu Ming had told me about this earlier. The Little Prince had insisted on coming, his attitude extremely earnest.’

‘Perhaps in his eyes, a friend was in trouble and he had to help.’

‘Honestly, he’s a true friend.’

‘After all, his status panel certified him as a friend, with an affinity level over ninety.’

He got out of the car. He shook their hands, shared a hug, and exchanged a few pleasantries and a couple of jokes. Not wanting to waste any more time, Lin Chu got into the back seat of the new car.

Once everyone was in their vehicles, the convoy of several dozen cars set off in a grand procession.

There were lead cars to clear the way, with escort vehicles on both sides and at the rear.

“Chu, how are you?”

It hadn’t been the right place to talk earlier. Now that they were in the car, Rashid immediately looked Lin Chu up and down, his eyes full of curiosity and the joy of a “long-awaited reunion.”

Frankly, what Lin Chu had gone through in Europe was the stuff of legends.

But aside from what had been revealed through public channels, he didn’t know the finer details.

He had even pulled some strings to use official intelligence channels, but still couldn’t dig up anything more.

This kind of “small matter” involving a single individual was truly insignificant compared to the major global events happening every moment. It wasn’t worth deploying more intelligence resources, especially since it had nothing to do with his own country.

But he was truly dying of curiosity.

He had pestered Lu Ming about it many times, but Lu Ming had been vague and didn’t give him a clear answer.

Now that he was with Lin Chu, he could finally ask whatever he wanted.

“As you can see, I’m in great shape right now.”

“Is the flight arranged?”

‘The itinerary was already set. I’m leaving today. I’m just making a connection here; the private jet is already on standby.’

“It’s already at the airport. You can leave whenever you’re ready.”

Rashid remained as enthusiastic as ever, bordering on rambling. “Are you sure you don’t need my help? To be honest, I want to go with you. This stuff is so exciting, so thrilling! Besides, if you stick with me, your safety is absolutely guaranteed. Chu, take me with you! Let me join in on the fun!”

Lin Chu: …

He slowly raised a middle finger at him.

‘Fun?’

‘For you, of course this is fucking fun.’

‘But for me, this is a genuine escape.’

‘I don’t know what’s going to happen next, but it definitely won’t be simple.’

Rashid, of course, understood the universal gesture perfectly. He shook his head in disappointment and cried out, “Hey, hey, hey! Rude, so rude! I’m just trying to help. I’ve even planned out an escape route for you!”

“You know I have a lot of younger sisters, and you’ve met some of them before. I’ve heard quite a few people asking about you recently. Chu, you should stay! Marry into our family… Here, I can absolutely guarantee your physical safety and the security of your assets. I swear.”

Rashid said, his tone turning exceptionally formal.

‘It’s a viable path. Why look far and wide for a solution when one is right here?’

‘Lin Chu’s charm had already been proven at their past few get-togethers. Everything else was a non-issue.’

Hearing the words “son-in-law,” Lu Ming couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He glanced back and thumped his own chest.

“Me!”

“You should consider me!”

“Hey, Rashid, we’re brothers! You never even introduce your sisters to me!”

Although he was joking, to be honest, the idea genuinely tempted Lu Ming.

‘Putting aside everything else, they were guaranteed to be pure and chaste before marriage. Plus, a man could legally have up to four wives.’
