When the sun rose the next day, the cruise ship was once again bustling with noise and excitement.
Last night's thunder and rainstorm did not cause any trouble to the guests. Instead, it cured the insomnia of several passengers, and everyone seemed to have had a good dream.
Even the most serious and demanding people couldn't help but smile when they woke up.
When this beautiful night was over, no one noticed that something was wrong, except for Andre, who was stuffed into the closet by his daughter in a panic last night …
By the way, Angelina had completely forgotten about it after she came back.
She slept until twelve o 'clock at noon. When she got up, she heard the sound from the closet.
Unfortunately, it was not an invitation from Narnia, but the roar of her father.
For a whole day Andrey was trying to find out why he had gone to sleep in the cupboard and locked it from the inside.
In this regard, Miss Lina of course … said that she didn't know anything.
She also tried to attribute the reason to sleepwalking.
However, looking at his daughter's evasive manner, Andre already had a rough idea in his heart.
But what else could he do …
As long as he could see his daughter smile again, he would rather live in the closet every day.
This small episode could not affect Mr. Andre's happy mood.
Even during this leisurely vacation, he still made use of the opportunity to reach preliminary cooperation with several new friends in the Roman bathroom and the Opera Hall box.
His daughter was also much more lively than before, no longer lingering between mobile phone screens and pieces of paper.
Even the shotgun he bought online was delivered to him in an urgent manner!
His career, family, and personal strength had all improved!
As a middle-aged man, was there anything more pleasant than this?
The answer was yes.
For example, in the following journey, he finally confirmed who the little bastard who dared to seduce his daughter was!
"… Huai Shi!"
Behind the fence, Andre, who had changed into a large flowery shirt and wore sunglasses, pretending to be a passer-by. He quietly poked his head out and looked at the young man who was chatting happily with Lina on the front deck.
His shotgun was already thirsty for blood!
Her gnashing of teeth successfully scared the little kid who was blowing bubbles next to her, causing everyone to look at her in astonishment.
After the initial anger and doubt, Andre felt an unprecedented sense of defeat.
That little bastard really did have a face that made people feel ashamed of themselves …
No wonder Lina fell for him.
For a moment, he actually had a feeling that it wasn't too bad.
Apart from Lina, he didn't have any other children, nor did he have any intention of remarrying. The money and assets he had earned over the years were enough for her to live a carefree life after his death.
This gigolo was not bad looking and had a sweet mouth. He seemed to know how to play the cello. It was not bad to be able to make her daughter happy every day.
As for his character …
Reality wasn't a soap opera, and he wasn't an incompetent old father who only knew how to rage when the two of them couldn't be together. As long as they were in the Russian Federation, she had plenty of ways to make him a good husband.
Even if it was fake?
Wouldn't it be real if she pretended for a lifetime?
Unfortunately, he realized that he was overthinking things.
His daughter, on the other hand, had such intentions.
However, the other party seemed to have … maintained a polite distance.
How could a musician from a wandering circus not be interested in a rich young lady who was ignorant of worldly affairs?
Either he was an ignorant liar who relied on his face to make a living.
Or, there was a problem somewhere!
Andre's heart gradually sank.
As a decent middle-aged man with good morals and education, although he was extremely worried about this, he still didn't easily intervene.
On the one hand, he hoped to leave a good memory for his daughter.
On the other hand, he also hoped to find out more.
Even though he was wandering around the cruise ship every day, through his secretary, private detective, and many partners, the investigation of Mr. Huai Shi had already begun in full swing.
Then, he welcomed the results.
Nothing was found.
Huai Shi, male, 20 years old, from Dongxia, a registered ABRSM professional cellist. He could be said to be young and promising. After rejecting the invitation of the Dongxia Philharmonic Orchestra, he worked in the performance department of Kitten Paradise and was engaged in touring performance work.
Then there was nothing.
Even the resume was not enough. The two lines above were already the limit of what he could investigate.
Background? Family? Financial situation? Medical history? Bank credit rating? When it came to the details of the individual, everything was hidden in the fog.
During this process, what made him feel even more horrified was the 'Kitten Paradise' that he originally thought of as a wandering gypsy group.
What was the experience of fishing and catching Godzilla?
This was the experience!
If he didn't investigate, he wouldn't know.
It was funded by two banks with deep backgrounds in Dongxia and America. It was registered in Las Vegas, America. It had an inextricable relationship and cooperation with the Ancient Travel Group.
In less than a year since it was born, it had prepared, built, and opened super large amusement park facilities in Jingdu in Yingzhou, Las Vegas in America, Yingtian Prefecture in Dongxia, Paris in Rome, and other places. Its influence had spanned several fields, from the entertainment industry to the manufacturing industry …
And the actual controller behind it was actually an investment department that had just been established by an unknown independent university?
What kind of f * cking group was this!
What was even more unbelievable was that as a financial practitioner, he was unaware of this … This was no longer in the category of ridiculous.
No matter where it was, it could only be described as' evil '.
There was a problem!
There was definitely a f * cking problem!
It wasn't that he didn't try to sound out the cute dolls that could be seen everywhere on the ship, but other than the predetermined lines, he couldn't get anything else out of their mouths. From start to finish, not a single one of them took off their hoods to reveal their faces.
And there was only one person in charge on this ship.
So who was this person?
Wasn't this a coincidence …
It was Huai Shi!
Now, the old father looked at the little bastard with a complicated expression. He didn't even know what he should be feeling.
Finally, at the end of the journey, after an 'accidental' encounter, Mr. Andre finally chose to take the initiative to talk to him.
The piano player who played the piano on the deck every afternoon also didn't refuse the invitation to have a drink with him at the bar.
On the surface, the two could be said to be having a good conversation.
He wasn't as frivolous and incompetent as he thought, nor was he as shrewd as he thought. His bright and cheerful smile was like a spring breeze.
Even if he used the harshest filter to look at him, Andre had to admit that this was a very outstanding young man who would definitely achieve great things in the future.
But his heart sank to the bottom.
Cellist?
Who was he kidding!
If all the cellists in the world were at this level, classical music would have already ruled the world! Why would people worship gods, Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven?
Then, which big trust group's commercial spy? A secret agent with a secret mission? Or … a member of Mercury?
It couldn't be that the chairman of the Danbo Group who never appeared in public was just fishing for fun, right?
Thousands of worries gathered in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.
And next to him, a freshly mixed cocktail was silently placed in front of him.
"This drink is on me."
The cellist who stood behind the counter and replaced the bartender smiled, "With all due respect, the worry on your face is about to overflow.
If there's anything that's worth worrying about, feel free to say it.
It's not good to keep it in your heart. "
Andre picked up the glass and smelled the amazing flavor he had never tasted before. After a long time, he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile and drink it down.
"Well, as you said, I think I'd better be honest. Please forgive me for being presumptuous." He put down the glass, looked at the smiling face, and asked solemnly,
"Young man, who exactly are you?"
"That's not important, Mr. Andre."
Huai Shi shook his head and poured him another glass, "For you, I'm just a passing musician. There's no need to worry about it. Please enjoy your trip. I promise, there won't be any problems worth worrying about. "
Looking at the middle-aged man's hesitant look, Huai Shi wiped the snow pot and glass, and said calmly, "I can see that there are doubts in your heart, as well as the worries of a father. But please rest assured, this is just a small episode in the journey. There will only be beautiful memories left, and it's not worth worrying about."
The calm words echoed in his ears, but it brought an indescribable sense of relief, and the anxious middle-aged man gradually relaxed.
And finally, from the other end of the table, a business card was pushed over.
"Your daughter has some outstanding potential, so she needs to face some troubles that others won't face. But after the situation stabilizes, there shouldn't be similar problems in the future. "
Before leaving, the musician told him, "If one day, you feel confused and want to ask for help, you can contact this number."
Andre, who was gradually drunk, couldn't remember what happened next.
He leaned on the bar and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, the port in the distance was already in sight.
Two tugboats equipped with fire cannons sprayed out four gorgeous water curtains in front of the cruise ship, welcoming the upcoming guests.
But the Turquoise didn't stop.
This was not their scheduled docking location.
Only one cargo ship slowly approached, and with the help of a crane, it took a container from the warehouse. Another ship without any logo sent another performance team up and took away the team from the Kitten Paradise.
Together with the musician.
Just as he said, this was just an episode in Andre's trip. It might be beautiful, but it would eventually be far away.
Just before stepping on the ship, the young man seemed to have noticed the gaze behind him. He turned back with a smile and held the brim of his hat.
This was the final farewell.
On the edge of the ship, Andre, who watched him leave, couldn't help but sigh.
It was like watching a free bird disappear at the end of his sight.
A sense of disappointment and envy arose in his heart, as he wondered why he couldn't fly.
"What is that?"
Lina looked at the business card in his hand and seemed to be curious, "Contact information?"
"No."
Andre shook his head and looked down at the White Tower logo on the business card, as well as the line of numbers. His expression was complicated, "I guess … this is a university?"
"It sounds worth the effort." Lina smiled.
"It's still early!"
Andre ruffled her hair in annoyance. "No matter who it is, don't even think about taking my little cutie away from me! Wait, child, the next time I see him, I must let him know the power of the Russian Federation boxing! "
"Forget it, Dad."
The girl shook her head helplessly and glanced at her father, "Wait until you can take a monster dozens of meters tall as a toy for a little girl who has never seen the world …"
"Monster?"
Andre was confused, "What monster?"
Under the bright light of the setting sun, the girl smiled and blinked.
"Well, it's a secret ~"
