The Ouyang family is indeed one of the three most powerful families in the country. What is very difficult for others is extremely simple for them.
It only took Lu Fan about an hour by car to arrive at the port closest to the capital, where a speedboat was already waiting for him.
"Mr. Lu, we have investigated and found that only two cruise ships departed from here within two hours. We did some research and eliminated one of them. Now we will send you to the remaining cruise ship."
There was already someone waiting for him on the speedboat.
"Okay, how far are we from this cruise ship now?"
Lu Fan asked.
"It's about 30 nautical miles. At our speed, we can catch it within an hour."
the man replied.
In the offshore area, the speed of speedboats is still faster than that of ordinary cruise ships. The main reason is that cruise ships generally drive slower, especially when they are not far from the coast.
"That would be troublesome."
Lu Fan nodded.
In fact, if he wanted to, it would be faster to chase him directly.
However, even though he can move quickly on the sea without relying on any means of transportation, there is no way to ensure that his direction is correct.
Professional matters should still be left to professionals.
What Lu Fan needs now is to maintain his mental and physical strength to cope with what he will encounter on the cruise ship.
Because he had just learned from the Ouyang family that what they were chasing was a large cruise ship called the Freedom Ocean, which could carry thousands of passengers.
In other words, after a while, he still needs to find his eldest brother Lu Ping among the thousands of passengers, which is not necessarily an easy task.
The Ouyang family's judgment was accurate. In almost another hour, they caught up with the Free Ocean.
And it was obvious that they had contacted the people on the ship before this. After they caught up with the cruise ship, the cruise ship actually put down a boarding board to let them board.
If it were an ordinary speedboat, the people on the Free Ocean would not pay any attention to it.
But this is someone the Ouyang family has greeted, so it's naturally different.
In this world, there is never a shortage of privileged people. The Ouyang family is one of the most privileged families in China.
"Hello, sir, I am Zhang Rui, the marketing director of the Freedom Ocean. On behalf of the entire ship's staff, I welcome you."
As soon as he got on the boat, a man in his forties greeted Lu Fan very politely.
Naturally, there is no marketing department on an ordinary ship, but the Liberty Ocean is a large cruise ship with thousands of passengers. Compared with a large entertainment club, such a cruise ship is no less generous, and the marketing department is naturally the same. necessary.
"Hello, I'm Lu Fan."
Lu Fan nodded.
"I have something. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can do me a favor."
He went straight to the point without making any detours.
It would be best if we could find the eldest brother directly. Of course, this hope was not great, at least that's how Lu Fan felt.
"You are a distinguished guest introduced by the Ouyang family. It is my honor to serve you! If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zhang Rui is still humble and polite.
Under normal circumstances, he does not need to be so humble when treating guests, even more distinguished guests.
But this person is different. This guy was called by an important figure in the Ouyang family to take special care of him.
Moreover, Zhang Rui also knew very well that at least half of the ship Free Ocean belonged to the Ouyang family.
That is equivalent to being introduced by the big boss. Of course, the attitude should be as respectful as possible.
"I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to help me check whether a passenger named Lu Ping has boarded this ship."
Lu Fan said.
"Please come with me and I will check it for you."
Zhang Rui took Lu Fan directly to his office without any hesitation.
For a large cruise ship like this, every passenger's information will be recorded. This is also for safety reasons.
However, Zhang Rui checked the passenger information on the computer and could not find the name Lu Ping, not even someone named Lu.
"I'm very sorry, I didn't find the person you were looking for."
Lu Fan nodded.
Not finding it was actually something he expected.
The current situation is also very clear, either Lu Yan lied to him.
However, Lu Fan was very confident in his judgment. He believed that if Lu Yan deceived him, he would never be able to escape his eyes.
He also has great faith in the Ouyang family's analytical ability. Since the Ouyang family has analyzed the cruise ship with the greatest possibility, it is probably right.
Then, the remaining explanation is that Lu Ping, and perhaps others, boarded the cruise ship under a pseudonym.
In this way, it will be more difficult to find him.
“Where is this cruise ship going?”
Lu Fan asked.
Although he had already boarded the ship, he did not know where the cruise ship was going.
"Our Liberty Ocean is a cruise ship that travels around the world, passing through three oceans, five continents, 18 countries, and 28 ports. It takes a total of 86 days to take you to appreciate the different customs of various places around the world!"
Zhang Rui introduced.
"Okay, I'll also stay on the ship for a few days. Please arrange a place for me."
Lu Fan nodded.
It doesn't matter to him whether it's around the world or not. Anyway, he can get off the ship at any time, and it's easy to go back by plane or something.
He still needs to stay on the ship for a few days to conduct a thorough investigation and see if he can find out the whereabouts of his eldest brother.
"Okay, I have arranged a luxurious presidential suite for you. This is your room card. All your purchases on the ship can be recorded on this card."
Zhang Rui took out a card and handed it to Lu Fan.
"Do you think I should take you to your room first, or take you for entertainment?"
I have to say that the service provided by the Freedom Ocean was very attentive, and even Lu Fan was very satisfied.
"No, I'm sorry to have bothered you for so long. Just go ahead and get busy. I'll look around on my own."
He picked up the card and left Zhang Rui's office.
The Freedom Ocean is the largest cruise ship in China, with a length of more than 300 meters and a width of more than 60 meters. The passenger cabin is even as high as sixteen floors, which is really very large.
This cruise ship is so big, it will cause a lot of trouble for Lu Fan to find people.
At least for now, he has no other good solution than wandering around like a headless fly.
Lu Fan boarded the deck and came to the swimming pool sports area.
Rich people are different. They can even build swimming pools on their boats, and there are more than one.
Of course, Lu Fan didn't come here to swim or see bikini beauties. He came here just because there were the most people here.
