The soldier in camouflage nodded to the woman, silently took a step back, and put away his gun...
It wasn't until she reached the deck that Xia Yanxin recognized the woman as Ling Yaowei. Thinking back carefully, it had been six or seven years since they last met. Her style hadn't changed much; she still wore heavy makeup, her perfume was strong, and her eyeliner was long, giving her a somewhat seductive look.
"What, can't sleep in the depth of the night, worried your man is cheating with another woman?" Ling Yaowei laughed.
"Not at all, I have complete confidence in my man! I want to go in and see if I can be of any help..." Xia Yanxin looked at the tightly closed cabin door.
At the door stood two soldiers in camouflage uniforms, each holding a gun. These people didn't look like bodyguards or sailors; they seemed more like well-trained professional soldiers or perhaps mercenaries.
