"Yo, Young Master Zheng, your female companion is finally back."
Around him were sons of various high-ranking officials. Their eyes immediately fell on Ming Zheng, their tone laced with mockery.
Their gazes meticulously scrutinized Ming Zheng, as if wanting to glean some suggestive traces from her.
Ming Zheng, half-draped on Mo Qingchuan's arm, wrapped one hand around his wrist.
At an angle no one else could see,
Her slender fingers lightly tapped the watch on Mo Qingchuan's wrist.
"Young Master Zheng, I was almost bullied just now," Ming Zheng said, her voice artificially sweet, fully embodying the role of a provocative temptress.
The sons of high-ranking officials nearby had their eyes light up with excitement.
Mo Qingchuan's brows furrowed: "Who?"
"Your nemesis," Ming Zheng said, producing the valuables she had taken from Young Master Wang and stuffing them into Mo Qingchuan's hand.
The sons of high-ranking officials beside them were stunned.
This companion of Young Master Zheng was rather extraordinary.
Ming Zheng curved her fiery red lips into a charming smile, extending her slender, fair hands towards Mo Qingchuan, revealing her palms: "I know he's your nemesis, Young Master Zheng, so... I gave him a good lesson for you."
She blinked her enchantingly lined eyes: "Young Master Zheng, shouldn't you reward me?"
"Young Master Zheng's nemesis? Could it be... Young Master Wang?"
"No way, little beauty, you taught Young Master Wang a lesson?"
"It's been half an hour since we last saw Young Master Wang."
"Tsk, Young Master Zheng, I didn't expect your companion to be such a firecracker."
The sons of high-ranking officials couldn't help but click their tongues, their eyes unreservedly fixated on Ming Zheng.
Mo Qingchuan pulled her behind him, his gaze displeased: "My woman, is she someone that dog can bully?"
He then turned to Ming Zheng, raised his hand, and removed the diamond-encrusted wristwatch from his wrist, dropping it into Ming Zheng's hand as if bestowing a favor: "Darling, you did a beautiful job. This is your reward."
Ming Zheng's eyes seemed to be blinded by the sparkling brilliance of the diamonds embedded in the watch.
She quickly clasped her hands together, her face alight with excitement.
"Thank you, Young Master Zheng~"
She winked at Mo Qingchuan: "Then I won't disturb Young Master Zheng any further. I'll go to the restroom to freshen up my makeup first~"
After speaking, Ming Zheng waved her hand.
Clutching the diamond-encrusted watch, she skipped her way towards the restroom.
From behind, she could faintly hear the voices of the sons of high-ranking officials discussing.
"Young Master Zheng, your companion is quite interesting, but... if Young Master Wang finds out she stole his things, and that she's your companion, won't that..."
Mo Qingchuan let out a cold snort: "Am I afraid of him?"

Inside the restroom.
Ming Zheng surveyed her surroundings.
Confirming there were no hidden cameras,
She immediately let go of her excited expression, her pair of dark, starlike eyes becoming placid and unfathomable.
She casually entered a stall.
Then, her fingertips lightly pressed the diamond-encrusted watch.
The watch sprang open.
A miniature notebook was revealed inside the watch.
Entry onto the cruise ship involved multiple checks.
Personal mobile phones and computers were impossible to bring aboard.
Although everyone was issued a phone to communicate with their companions,
The phones' operating systems had been modified by international high-ranking officials. Any carelessness could easily alert them.
The only way was to utilize Mo Qingchuan's wristwatch.
While activating the watch's notebook, Ming Zheng also modified a string of data, masking her online activities.
Her slender fingers tapped rapidly on the watch.
She transmitted all the routes she had taken and the data she had recorded.
She also noted down the identities of the high-ranking officials she had seen on the eighth floor, who they were internationally.
As the data was being entered,
It would also be directly synchronized to the glasses Mo Qingchuan was wearing.
After Ming Zheng finished typing,
She intended to try and hack into the cruise ship's system to investigate matters concerning the auction.
Before she could make a move,
A sharp voice came from outside the restroom: "Young Master Wang, it's here! I just saw that woman go in!"
The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Ming Zheng raised an eyebrow.
She silently exited the program,
And then put the watch on her wrist.
Soon, she heard the sound of many footsteps rushing into the restroom.
From the sound of the footsteps, she could tell they were all tall, strong men.
Ming Zheng: "..."
This was the women's restroom.
What was wrong with people these days?
They barged into the women's restroom too?
"Bitch! Get out here!"
Young Master Wang yelled furiously: "Don't think you can escape!"
As he cursed, he kicked the restroom door: "Search! Drag her out!"
Inside the restroom, there was a cacophony of crashing sounds.
"Young Master Wang wants to see me, why the need for such a grand spectacle?"
A languid, seductive voice, amidst the violent commotion, was particularly captivating.
Ming Zheng adjusted her long dress, stepped out in her high heels, and pushed open the door.
The restroom lights were warm-toned.
They fell upon Ming Zheng.
Her fair, jade-like skin seemed to be coated with a soft fluorescence, her shoulders snow-white.
Adorned with fine, scattered light.
She was illuminated like a mermaid.
Young Master Wang's original fury, the moment he saw Ming Zheng,
His eyes widened instantly.
He couldn't help but curse Mo Qingchuan internally for snagging such a stunning beauty for himself.
Thinking this,
Young Master Wang's eyes gleamed with even more wicked intent.
"Little slut, I wanted to be gentle and intimate with you, but you schemed against me!"
Young Master Wang signaled to the others, then rubbed his hands together and walked towards Ming Zheng step by step: "Now, I'll let you know the consequences of offending me!"
Young Master Wang had brought seven bodyguards from America.
These bodyguards were all over 1.9 meters tall, exuding an imposing aura.
They were quite intimidating.
And standing at the restroom entrance,
Was a woman dressed in a striking, deep-V, revealing evening gown.
That woman, dressed with an air of worldly experience.
That face...
Wasn't it Lu Manqin?
The Lu family.
They had barely managed to qualify as a second-tier family, relying on an old patriarch Lu.
They didn't even rank in the Xia Capital.
And she could actually board this cruise ship?
Was this for real?
But...
It truly was a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
She had just taught Lu Manqin a lesson,
And now Lu Manqin was tipping off Young Master Wang, disrupting her mission.
Truly troublesome.
Young Master Wang saw Ming Zheng standing there dumbfounded, making no attempt to flee. He assumed she was simply terrified by the American bodyguards.
He chuckled: "Today, I'm going to take care of you right here! In front of all of them! After I'm done with you, I'll let the others join in..."
As he spoke, he lunged at Ming Zheng.
His face was contorted with a sinister grin: "I really want to see what kind of expression Zheng Dahua will have when he finds out his woman has been defiled by me!"
He spread his arms, ready to embrace Ming Zheng.
"Bang—"
