Those two figures were too fast, disappearing in an instant. Even Wang Chao couldn't catch where they went.
"Am I seeing things? How could they be here?" Wang Chao hurriedly rubbed his eyes, searching through the crowd.
However, he still couldn't find those two individuals again.
Wang Chao's face instantly darkened.
"What's wrong?" Shen Bing asked.
"I think I saw an old friend just now," Wang Chao said in a serious tone.
He had only caught a glimpse of a familiar friend and someone he couldn't believe.
But since it was just a fleeting glance from the corner of his eye, he wasn't certain if what he saw was real.
"You have friends in Fuzhou? Can you introduce them to me?" Shen Bing asked.
"I'm not even sure if it was him," Wang Chao said with a solemn expression.
If he hadn't made a mistake, then things would become troublesome.
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao's worried expression, and her own expression changed slightly.
It was the first time she had seen Wang Chao with such a serious and concerned look. What kind of person could make Wang Chao become like this?
She was particularly curious.
"Let's go back to the hotel first," Wang Chao said.
He quickened his pace and returned to the hotel.
Although Shen Bing didn't know why Wang Chao was so worried, she didn't ask further and simply followed behind him, quickly returning to the hotel.
Wang Chao stood on the balcony of the hotel, smoking a cigarette. He looked down from a high vantage point, his expression grave.
Shen Bing sat in the living room, brewing tea, watching Wang Chao in this state, feeling particularly curious.
"Turn on the TV."
After finishing a cigarette, Wang Chao turned on the TV and watched the news.
Indeed, all the major media outlets were in a frenzy.
Many media outlets reported on the slaying of the Zhao family members, while others continued to report on the missing Princess Karina. There were also news reports about recent happenings in the entertainment industry, such as an actress evading taxes, an actor sexually assaulting a fan, and someone involved in prostitution.
Wang Chao watched these news reports and lit another cigarette, his eyes fixed on the TV.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to a celebrity you follow?" Shen Bing curiously asked.
"I do not have time to follow these things," Wang Chao replied.
At that moment, he was certain. He hadn't been mistaken earlier. Those two figures were indeed the people he knew.
Although those two individuals were disguised, their body shapes were exactly the same as the ones Wang Chao remembered.
"Damn it, this bastard is going to make a big mess of things," Wang Chao muttered, biting his teeth.
"What's wrong?" Shen Bing asked again.
Wang Chao paused the TV and pointed to the image of Princess Karina on the screen. He said, "I just saw Princess Karina. Some ignorant guy has kidnapped her and brought her to this city."
"What?" Shen Bing was taken aback.
Princess Karina, the daughter of the influential figure from the Bear Country, was visiting Ma Port and had plans to go to Canton City for an inspection.
Her disappearance had caused a sensation recently, putting tremendous pressure on the Dragon Country in international public opinion.
Even the Canton Military Command had dispatched numerous special forces personnel to search for her, but they had found nothing.
And now she had appeared in Fuzhou City?
Shen Bing swallowed hard and asked, "Wang Chao, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Wang Chao's expression grew serious as he said, "At first, I doubted myself too, which is why I came back to watch the TV and stood at the highest point, hoping to find their trail."
"After watching the TV, I am very certain that I didn't make a mistake. That person is indeed Princess Karina."
"And the one who kidnapped Princess Karina is my old friend from before."
"So, it's a big problem!"
As he spoke, he cursed in his mind, "Zhou Xinghe, you bastard, why do you always cause trouble for me?"
And Po Jun, how did he send this troublemaker to the Dragon Country?
The two people he caught a glimpse of just now were Zhou Xinghe and Princess Karina.
With Zhou Xinghe's abilities, killing several assassins from the Gate of Hell would be a piece of cake.
However, Zhou Xinghe was unruly and mischievous, often causing trouble.
This time, kidnapping Princess Karina almost led to a war between the Bear Country and the Dragon Country. It was simply too reckless!
"Your friend kidnapped Princess Karina?" Shen Bing exclaimed, her eyes looking at Wang Chao with a completely different expression.
Someone who would dare to do such a thing was an audacious criminal!
And this person was Wang Chao's friend?
Pausing for a moment, she asked with confusion, "If he really wanted to kidnap Princess Karina, why did not he leave the Dragon Country? Why come to Fuzhou City?"
"For the fun of it!" Wang Chao said.
"What?"
"My friend is lively by nature and enjoys having fun. There must be something exciting happening in Fuzhou City this time, which is why he brought Princess Karina here."
"Something exciting?"
After hearing this, Shen Bing thought for a moment and then said, "I understand. He must be here to attend the Swan Cruise party."
"The Swan Cruise party?"
"Yes, it's a grand business gathering organized by the big shots in Fuzhou City. They have invited wealthy individuals from all over the country to discuss future business models. The party will take place on three swan-shaped cruise ships."
Shen Bing took out an invitation and placed it in front of Wang Chao. "My second purpose of coming to Fuzhou City is to attend this party and learn about various business sectors across the country."
Wang Chao looked down.
On the invitation was an image of three enormous swan-shaped cruise ships.
Black and white, exquisitely designed and elegant.
The lines were impeccable and filled with a sense of technology.
At first glance, it looked like three giant white swans floating on the water, incredibly beautiful.
It was manifest that such cruise ships would be worth a fortune.
Seemingly aware of what Wang Chao was thinking, Shen Bing explained, "These Swan Cruise ships were built by the big boss with a huge investment. Each ship is worth over 10 billion yuan."
"It's uttered that the ships are equipped with various high-tech features and even have helipads for helicopters to land."
"As the richest person in Canton, I haven't seen such a cruise ship before, so I wanted to witness it myself."
Spending 10 billion yuan to build a cruise ship?
The life of the wealthy is truly unimaginable for the poor!
Wang Chao could not help but sigh.
As a military kingpin, he controlled a fortune of trillions of US dollars through his mercenary group.
However, all his money was invested in talent, gold mines, and armories. He had never enjoyed the luxury of a cruise ship built with a budget of 10 billion yuan.
These wealthy people really know how to play!
He looked at Shen Bing and asked, "Is the party tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"What time?"
"We set sail at 10 a.m. in the morning and will be drifting at sea until the afternoon of the next day."
Wang Chao understood.
That kid Zhou Xinghe must have come for the Swan Cruise ship!
"President Shen, it's already evening, and you should be fine. Rest well and have a good night's sleep. I'll go out for a while," Wang Chao said.
After finishing his cigarette, he walked out of the hotel.
He needed to find a way to locate Zhou Xinghe to prevent that kid from causing even bigger trouble on the cruise ship tomorrow.
