The restaurant on the President cruise ship is also divided into three levels. More than 200 first-class passengers have an exclusive restaurant built on the fourth floor. The beautifully decorated restaurant is also connected to a terrace of more than 200 square meters. Going out from the terrace is a crystal clear swimming pool.
On a sunny day, you can sit on the terrace with a wide view and enjoy delicious food while admiring the magnificent sea. If there is a graceful blonde sunbathing by the swimming pool, the scene is really undesirable. Couldn't be more beautiful.
Zhou Wen, who was wearing a light yellow suit and polished leather shoes, was sitting at the dining table on the terrace.
I saw him putting the last piece of steak on the plate into his mouth with a fork, a little bored, but his eyes were looking towards the door of the restaurant from time to time.
Everyone may have guessed before that the handsome Zhou Gongzi mentioned by Oda Junichiro and Aida Nami was Zhou Wen who arrived in Manila, Philippines in advance to board the President cruise ship through Qichang Yangxing's relationship.
Long before Mr. Situ set off, Zhou Wen and Adjutant Wang also studied several defense plans.
They also guessed that the possibility of the Japanese taking action at sea was very high, so naturally they would not wait foolishly at home. We must find a way to get on the boat first to meet Mr. Situ and take defensive measures.
So, where will the Japanese choose to take action? And where would it be safer for Zhou Wen and the others to meet up with Mr. Situ? This became the focus of careful consideration by Zhou Wen and Adjutant Wang.
According to the voyage analysis of the President cruise ship, it is not very likely that the Japanese will take action at the two nodes of Hawaii and Manila.
You know, Hawaii and Manila are currently territories owned by the United States. Not only do they have troops stationed there, but they also have relatively strict local control. Although the Japanese have many intelligence personnel in these two places, they do not have many operational personnel with strong tactical capabilities.
Because the Japanese spies in these two places mainly focus on spying for intelligence, and rarely involve the use of swords and guns. If operational experts are temporarily deployed to board the ship in these two places, it will be difficult to be thorough in the first place, and it is easy to expose flaws.
Next is Hong Kong. Since the faces of East Asians are similar, it is difficult to tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese in appearance. This may become a place for Japanese agents to board the ship.
When we arrived at the Port of Kobe, Japan, there were more Japanese boarding the ship. It was possible to get dozens of them, not to mention a few action masters.
Therefore, Zhou Wen guessed that the best time for the Japanese to take action at sea would be during the six days when the President cruise ship left Kobe and arrived in Shanghai.
Of course, this is just a probability theory guess. Who knows whether the little devil will take the risk earlier.
Therefore, Zhou Wen believed that the sooner he could meet Mr. Situ, the better. It was best to board the cruise ship before it arrived in Hong Kong.
Hawaii is too far away, time is difficult to control, and the identity issue cannot be solved, so Manila became the best choice.
In fact, with the current international diplomatic capabilities of the Republic of China government, there is no way to solve the identity problem of Zhou Wen and the others even in Manila, let alone buy first-class tickets.
But Zhou Wen thought of Qichang Yangxing and James.
We are all businessmen, and as long as we have enough interests, we can talk about anything.
Therefore, after Zhou Wen paid 50,000 US dollars in activity funds, James readily agreed to do this small favor.
As a result, Qichang Yangxing, headquartered in Manila, came forward to guarantee that a series of procedures and identification certificates for a wealthy man from Southeast Asia to board the President cruise ship and check into the first class cabin were completed within a few days.
Zhou Wen, Zhao Xiaojin, Zhang Xiaoping and Ti Jing, who arrived in Manila a week in advance on the Qichang Yangxing freighter, successfully boarded the 10,000-ton ship and met Mr. Situ.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Xiaojin is the steward who takes wealthy young men on trips to gain insights. With such a burly and sturdy figure like Ti Jing, he is naturally the personal bodyguard of a rich man. Zhang Xiaoping, who is fair-looking and younger, is of course the young master's servant.
This is also the most people Zhou Wen can bring on board. Any more will be a bit fake.
But with Zhou Wen and his four masters here, as long as the Japanese don't send troops to attack, the dozen or twenty Japanese agents really don't care about Zhou Wen.
The reason why Mr. Zhou had to dress up in a coquettish manner was not only to conceal his identity, but more importantly, to fish.
With Zhou Wen's temper, there was no way he could just wait for the Japanese to come to his door. There was only a thousand days to be a thief, but there was no such thing as a thousand days to guard against thieves.
So he just wanted to use his disguised identity to identify all the mice and cockroaches hiding in the dark, and then get rid of them in one pot to save trouble later.
It was already noon, and it was meal time. Most of the customers in the restaurant were foreigners in suits and leather shoes. The waiters in the restaurant were carrying wine and dishes, shuttling between the tables, which seemed lively for a while.
Due to the strong wind, there were not many customers on the terrace.
Since the amount of food consumed is so large, in order not to attract attention, the waiter usually delivers large portions of food directly to the cabin. So the only people sitting next to Zhou Wen at this time were Zhao Xiaojin and Zhang Xiaoping.
"Sir, Mr. Situ and the others are here." Zhao Xiaojin reminded in a low voice.
In fact, Zhou Wen had already seen Mr. Situ and his group, but he was just acting now. How could an overly drunken rich man have such good eyesight?
Zhou Wen had a look of joy on his face, quickly stood up and walked to the restaurant.
But I saw several Chinese people coming from the door of the restaurant. First, a tall, 60-year-old man with a ruddy complexion, a long beard, and a long gown came slowly over.
This person is none other than Mr. Situ.
Next to Mr. Situ is his old brother Lei Wanchang, a sturdy middle-aged man in his forties.
Behind them were three young men in suits, but they were Mr. Situ's two nephews, Situ Hai and Situ Jiang, and Lei Wanchang's son Lei Bao.
Just when Zhou Wen greeted Mr. Situ with a smile on his face, he didn't seem to notice that a young woman with fair skin and quite a bit of beauty stood up at a table near the terrace of the restaurant, wearing a cheongsam.
The woman's eyes were also looking at the door of the restaurant, but what she was looking at was not Mr. Situ and his group, but behind them, a young man who was entering the restaurant.
She didn't seem to notice the young man who was about to pass by, but focused all her attention on the man who came in, just like a wife welcoming the arrival of her husband.
As a result, the two bodies bumped into each other by chance.
