184: Xiao Yuhong's mission in the capital

"I've investigated. This is a commercial cruise ship from Jiangcheng. The person using the sniper rifle in the video is named Zhang Yu, a newly emerging wealthy individual in Jiangcheng. Do we really need to send warships to escort it?"

"Since you investigated, didn't you find out that this ship is also under his name? Since it's an order from above, just follow the instructions. Which warship is the closest?"

"Reporting to officer, the closest warship is 30 nautical miles away, it's the Jingchu. The captain is Xiao..."

"Then quickly send a message to the Jingchu, tell them to pay close attention to the movements of the heavenly river!"

The Ministry of National Defense quickly contacted the Navy.

Protecting this ship had already become a mission.

Meanwhile.

In The Capital.

Xiao Yuhong was also at home, watching the video about Zhang Yu.

In the footage, his marksmanship was excellent, and he consecutively killed several pirates, making thousands of people on the ship cheer.

"Strange, Zhang Yu's marksmanship is also so impressive? I'll have to spar with him sometime."

Xiao Yuhong couldn't help but think to herself.

"Yuhong, what are you looking at?"

An aged voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Grandpa?" Xiao Yuhong turned around, seeing it was Elder Xiao, and quickly hid her phone behind her back, her face showing a hint of panic, "Nothing."

Elder Xiao glanced at Xiao Yuhong, merely smiling faintly, as if he already knew everything.

"By the way, what do you think of that Zhang Yu?"

He asked.

"Ah? Grandpa, I don't know what you mean by that."

Xiao Yuhong was momentarily stunned, then said.

"Yuhong, don't be nervous." Elder Xiao smiled, "I was just asking casually."

"He's very good, he even cured your illness..." Xiao Yuhong evaded the question.

"That's true." Elder Xiao stroked his beard, "I do feel much better recently. I still don't know how to thank him. How about this."

Elder Xiao said, signaling to a servant nearby to bring out a black box.

"Give this box to Zhang Yu. You must deliver it to him personally; no mailing, no proxy delivery or collection."

He said, handing the box to Xiao Yuhong.

He was also thinking that this would give her a good reason to go to Jiangcheng again.

And she could see him in person.

As for what would happen between the two of them later, he couldn't manage too much.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

Xiao Yuhong weighed the black box in her hand; it was antique and seemed to carry a heavy sense of history.

It felt like it was almost 100 years old.

"You don't need to worry about it, just give it to him," Elder Xiao said.

"But, he doesn't seem to be in Jiangcheng..."

Xiao Yuhong listened to her grandpa's words, deciding not to probe the secret of the box.

However, that sentence exposed what she had just been doing.

Wouldn't Grandpa know that she was paying attention to Zhang Yu's movements?

She glanced at Elder Xiao; fortunately, he didn't say anything, leaving her some leeway.

"En, contact him and find out when it's convenient to deliver it to him." He nodded, "I should go to sleep."

"Good night, Grandpa."

Xiao Yuhong watched her grandpa leave, then lowered her head to look at the box, held quietly in her arms.

It seemed a bit mysterious... Meanwhile.

The cruise ship sailed on the sea, returning to its previous calm.

Most people had already fallen asleep.

Su Mei and Lu Hanxiao, two best friends, reunited on the cruise ship and had endless things to talk about.

The lights were on in the room, and they discussed everything from work to personal matters.

Lu Hanxiao was also very happy and in good spirits.

Chatting in the room.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed, revealing a somewhat pained expression.

"Hanxiao, what's wrong?"

A string in Su Mei's heart immediately tightened.

Her gaze towards her best friend was full of concern.
