Chapter 2483: Chapter 2484: Congratulations, You’ve Been Kidnapped by Me

“I, I understand.”

It took a good while before Liu Donghai and his three companions regained their senses, feeling as if their legs were no longer their own, shaking uncontrollably.

The four of them first wrapped the western man in a blanket, then heaved him through the window into the sea without anyone noticing.

“Young Master Lin, everything, everything has been taken care of.”

Liu Donghai stammered out.

Although he had been involved in cases of homicide himself, the nature of his crimes was completely different from Lin Yi’s.

It felt to him as if killing someone was as simple for Lin Yi as crushing an ant.

How did Qin Han come to know such a person!

And moreover, does such an impressive person really need my protection?

“Go and attend to your tasks, keep monitoring the movements on the ship, any request can be accommodated, only the one to disembark is not allowed.”

“Understood, understood.”

After Liu Donghai and the others left, they needed a good long time outside to calm their nerves.

Their attitude towards Lin Yi had undergone a drastic change.

Even when speaking about him, they were filled with reverence.

Unknowingly, more than ten days had passed.

Luckily, the ship remained calm and quiet throughout.

Even though there were those who wanted to leave, they were persuaded to stay after some discussion.

Everyone was lost in the intoxication of the luxury on the cruise ship, as if they were floating in a realm outside the law.

As long as you have money here, you can do anything you want; except for taking a life, money can buy everything.

For them, this place was like heaven on earth.

But the people did not lose their rationality completely.

They knew very well that this happiness was only temporary, and they didn’t indulge too much in it.

And this is one of the characteristics of the middle class.

During dinner time, Lin Yi and Kenji Nakada were dining together.

“Mr. Lin Yi, everything is ready. I check every day, there’s no issue with any of our arrangements.”

Lin Yi glanced at the time, “We’re approaching China soon, aren’t we?”

“In about an hour, we will be close, but the cruise ship doesn’t have the qualifications to approach.”

“Then we’ll take action in an hour. Everyone get ready, don’t show your faces, make sure to hide yourselves well.”

“Understood!”

Kenji Nakada raised his glass, “A toast to the success of Mr. Lin’s plan.”

Lin Yi also smiled as he raised his glass, “I’ll take your good words.”

After draining the cup, Kenji Nakada left.

He knew the importance of the plan and now that it was about to be implemented, he naturally didn’t dare waste any time.

After Kenji Nakada left, Lin Yi didn’t linger much longer and summoned Liu Donghai and the others to his room.

The tales of Lin Yi had already spread among them, and at this moment, each of them straightened their spines, not even daring to breathe loudly.

They resembled elementary school students waiting to be scolded by the teacher.

“We’ve completed two-thirds of the voyage; now it’s time to start working,” Lin Yi said calmly, with an exceptionally even-tempered voice.

Liu Donghai and the others exchanged glances. Up until now, they thought their mission was to protect Lin Yi.

But after witnessing Lin Yi commit a murder ten days ago, they changed their viewpoint.

Such a man doesn’t need their protection, there must be another task, otherwise, they wouldn’t be paid so much money.

Now, it was their turn to be useful.

“Young Master Lin, just give the word, we definitely won’t let you down.”

“That’s all I needed to hear.”

Lin Yi took out his checkbook and started writing a long string of zeros.

“I don’t know how much Qin Han has paid you, but as long as you get this done, I’ll give each of you an additional 500,000. This is a bank check for 10 million; take it and divide it among yourselves.”

“10 million!”

The eyes of the crowd gleamed greedily, thinking that the 5 million Qin Han offered them was already quite a sum; none expected that Young Master Lin would casually offer 10 million, indicating his immense wealth.

“Young Master Lin, what do you need us to do?”

“Let’s go, I’ll show you a few things.”

Lin Yi led Liu Donghai and the others into his bedroom.

Inside were several large wooden crates, crudely crafted. Lin Yi stood before them and began opening them one by one.

“Do you know how to use these things?”

Seeing the contents of the crates, everyone except Liu Donghai and a few others were startled, their faces turning pale.

Although all of them came from the criminal underworld, their activities had been limited to burglary and robbery, nowhere near playing with the likes of what was before them.

“Whether you want to co-work with me, it’s your decision,” Lin Yi said, looking at them:

“Those who think they can’t handle it, leave now. Those who want to make money, come and pick up your weapon.”

“Young Master Lin…”

Liu Donghai’s expression was troubled.

“Even though none of us are good people, we still yearn for a normal life. If we really get involved in this business, we’ll probably have to live on the run from now on.”

Lin Yi smiled.

“I understand your worries, but things aren’t as you imagine.”

Everyone listened quietly, as this concerned their very lives.

“You all know what kind of person Qin Han is; there’s no need for me to elaborate. If he had you come to me, it means that the job I’m planning doesn’t cross the legal or moral line, so don’t worry, I assure you no harm will come to you.”

“That’s all I have to say. Those who are in, stay; those who are out, leave. No hard feelings.”

Liu Donghai and the rest wore serious expressions, remaining silent for several minutes, before he took the lead and said:

“Young Master Lin, I don’t care about the others, but as for myself, I’m with you all the way.”

Lin Yi nodded, then turned his gaze to the others.

“What about you?”

“We’re in too!”

“Then pick up your weapons,” Lin Yi instructed:

“There are also clothes and masks on the side. Put them on, and throughout the whole process, there’s no need to speak. Just follow my commands.”

“Understood!”

The crew sprang into action and were all ready in about half an hour.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi also took out the mask he had meticulously prepared.

It was a clown’s face with an exaggerated smile, virtually identical to the mask worn by the man in black.

Looking at the mask in his hands, Lin Yi felt amused himself.

Even he didn’t know why he had made such a mask.

Finally, Lin Yi put on the clown mask and headed outside the room.

Ding-ding-ding–

Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Kenji Nakada.

“Mr. Lin, all is ready.”

“Proceed. I’ll be there shortly.”

“Okay!”

After hanging up, Lin Yi walked out with Liu Donghai and the others.

Just as they were leaving, a series of crisp sounds rang out, startling Liu Donghai and the others.

After all, this was their first time experiencing such a thing; they had no experience to draw upon.

This was soon followed by shouts and yelling, but they were drowned out by the continuous noises.

Shortly after, the group arrived on deck.

Nearly 5,000 people were gathered there, each clutching their heads and trembling as they crouched on the ground, forming a dense crowd.

There were also several corpses lying in pools of blood nearby.

Lin Yi walked up to the people and spoke in a calm voice:

“Congratulations, you’ve all been kidnapped by me.”
