Chapter 450 Her Reputation is Huge
Chen Yang only then realized the benefits of following Lin Xichen.
Lin Xichen was clearly well-known, so much so that many staff members on the "Sleepless Night" cruise ship knew her name.
It was likely that the ship's captain had specifically instructed the crew to treat Lin Xichen well. Everyone knew she was a walking treasure trove, and by serving her properly, she would spend at least hundreds of millions on the ship.
The ship's rooms were divided into three tiers: low, middle, and high. The low-tier rooms were on the deck, with six people per room. The mid-tier rooms were on the middle levels, and the highest-tier rooms were on the uppermost deck. Although small, each of these rooms housed only one person.
Lin Xichen, with Chen Yang and the other three, headed straight for the most luxurious rooms.
One room per person.
Chen Yang stayed in the room next to Lin Xichen's.
After putting down his luggage, he immediately left his cabin, pretending to be admiring the scenery. However, his eyes scanned the entire cruise ship, paying particular attention to the new tourists who had boarded at the Shanghai port.
To Chen Yang's surprise, while more than twenty people had boarded the cruise ship at the dock, they were all Chinese.
The three members of the Black Ice organization Chen Yang was looking for were of Persian descent, with clear differences from Chinese people. Even if they were disguised, they wouldn't be able to pass as Chinese.
Furthermore, the names used by those three were Reno, Kage, and Titan, which were obviously not Chinese names!
Chen Yang frowned slightly. He walked around the ship with his hands behind his back.
Soon, Chen Yang's gaze locked onto a room next to the captain's control room. Files were kept there, and Chen Yang saw the list of all boarding passengers.
Chen Yang dared not be careless.
The cruise ship had already left the shore and sailed into the ocean. The three members of the Black Ice organization must be on board, and perhaps they were also observing the ship, guarding against any potential danger.
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment and then walked directly towards the room next to the captain's.
Before he could get close, he was stopped by two guards holding guns.
Chen Yang frowned and said, "Our young lady sent me. She asked me to inquire if a person named Du Ziqi boarded the ship at the Shanghai dock. If so, where is this scoundrel staying? Our young lady has some urgent business with him."
The two guards were foreigners. After hearing Chen Yang's words, they exchanged glances and then waved him away impatiently.
Chen Yang immediately raised his voice, "Our young lady is Lin Xichen. You had better follow her instructions, otherwise, your cruise ship will never be allowed to dock at Shanghai port again."
The two guards became even more aggressive towards Chen Yang and were about to drive him away.
At this moment, the door to the captain's control room opened, and a bearded Englishman walked out. He chuckled and said to Chen Yang, "You say your young lady is Miss Lin?"
Chen Yang nodded and replied, "Yes, it was Miss Lin Xichen who sent me. I must complete any task before I can return."
The bearded man immediately said, "Alright, alright, I'll help you check right away. I'm quite familiar with Miss Lin. Her father is a very important figure, and her father has a good relationship with our 'Sleepless Night' cruise ship."
Hearing this, Chen Yang understood why Lin Xichen could arrogantly bring four people onto the ship.
On this ship, most people would at most bring a bodyguard, and even then, they would have to buy an extra ticket.
But Lin Xichen brought four people by herself.
Moreover, many crew members on the ship had heard of Lin Xichen's fame. It turned out that Lin Xichen's father had some connections with this cruise ship.
The bearded man was the second mate of the ship.
He opened the door to the adjacent registration room, and Chen Yang followed him in.
The bearded man found a list and looked through it. He then scratched his nose in frustration and said, "Ah, these characters are all in Chinese, and I can't read them all perfectly. Sir, you can look for yourself!"
Chen Yang immediately took the list and quickly scanned it. On the boarding list, Chen Yang did not see the names Reno, Kage, or Titan.
This meant that even though Bai Leitian had obtained fake identity cards for the three Black Ice members for them to board the ship, Chen Yang did not see their names on the list.
Could it be that those three didn't board the ship?
That was impossible. They would never give up such a golden opportunity to escape to international waters.
Chen Yang's eyes scanned rapidly.
Suddenly, he understood: Reno and the other two did not board as tourists.
The three of them must have used the identities of crew members!
This meant that before this, there must have been three crew members named Reno, Kage, and Titan on this ship.
After docking at Huangpu Port, those three crew members were replaced by the three members of the Black Ice organization.
Chen Yang realized this and said to the second mate, "Sir, I've finished looking. It seems that our young lady's enemy is not on this list."
"Also, our young lady wants to inquire about a crew member named Reno. She wishes to reward Mr. Reno with a golden key. May I ask where this crew member Reno is staying?"
The second mate looked at Chen Yang strangely, wondering how Lin Xichen knew the crew members, as even he couldn't recognize all of them.
The second mate shook his head and pointed to a folder below, saying, "Here is the information of all the crew members, their positions, and their accommodations. You can check it yourself!"
Chen Yang opened the file binder. Everything was registered in English, but this was no challenge for Chen Yang, the Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Doctor Hall.
Chen Yang quickly scanned the document and soon found the names Reno, Kage, and Titan. Chen Yang looked further back. All three were responsible for procurement, meaning they were in charge of loading supplies and water onto the ship at each port.
All three lived in the crew quarters on the lowest deck.
Chen Yang was relieved to see this information.
As expected, Bai Leitian had arranged for these three to replace the crew members and live in the crew dormitory.
The Black Ice organization was too cautious. There was definitely something suspicious going on.
Chen Yang closed the file and smiled at the second mate, saying, "Thank you, sir. I will thank you on behalf of our young lady. When I return, I will tell our young lady everything that happened here. I believe our young lady will certainly reward you."
Upon hearing this, the second mate excitedly smiled and said, "It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure. By the way, my name is Harden, and I am the second mate of this ship. When you tell your young lady, please remember to mention my name."
Chen Yang nodded and turned to leave.
He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It seemed that Lin Xichen's reputation was incredibly useful.
Many of the managers on this cruise ship knew Lin Xichen's name, knew her father was influential, and knew Lin Xichen was a spendthrift and very generous.
Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh. It was hard to say whether raising such a daughter brought joy or sorrow!
