Skimming the Surface(6)

The day has not yet broken, the sea surface is covered with a hazy mist, the waves bring up light white waves, repeatedly patting the hull of the ship, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.The sea breeze wrapped in the salty rusty smell coming, the distant sea and sky, a touch of dark and elusive blue, like water rendering open the deep, low-hanging curtain of the night, slightly haloed a little light.

Dawn sea breeze with damp coolness, rolled up a trace of mist.Hua Ting leaned against the railing, wrapped in a light camel-colored cashmere shawl, the soft fabric loosely resting on the shoulders, the neckline slightly open, inside is a small French-style floral dress, soft beige background dotted with fine light pink and lavender flowers, the hem of the dress with the sea breeze gently swaying.Her sleepiness has not disappeared, the hair on her temples is ruffled by the morning breeze, she holds a cigarette and lighter in her hand, after lighting the cigarette with her closed hand, she puts it in her mouth and takes a puff.

Lin An walked next to her from behind with a cigarette in his mouth, "Lend me a light."Hua Ting gave him the lighter and his good mood was interrupted with a few moments of dissatisfaction."Something wrong?""Nothing, just blowing off some steam."Lin An smiled with a contented and somewhat heartbroken smile.Hua Ting turned his head in silence and went to look at the sea.Everyone knew that Lin An's most important person had left, not long ago, and that was his family's former nominally adopted daughter, who was actually just a puppet being used by his family.That girl is three years younger than Hua Ting, but the two eyebrows are more similar, especially Hua Ting to give up the past style to go comfortable wind, Lin An found this everyone also know by heart, that girl is very understanding, precocious, a small age to bear too much with the age does not match the pressure and tribulations.Lin An had a guilty conscience in his heart, he wanted to see his sister's shadow from Hua Ting's body, looking at it again this morning, he didn't say anything on his lips but his heart was still despondent, Hua Ting and his sister's character were completely different.

"Ruan Zhining."You Zhou called Hua Ting's name from behind, she turned her head to see You Zhou approaching."Did something happen recently?"Hua Ting stared at the cigarette in his hand and shook his head as he snuffed it out and threw it into the sea, "Upset, am I a terrible manager?"

Hua Ting usually seldom smoked, wine was not less, unless the recent days were not good she would smoke, but instead did not drink much.Last night Hua Ting rarely asked for alcohol, just asked the waiter to send a glass of sparkling water.

The evening of the second day of the gathering, Jiang Xia received a new anonymous text message: I am among you."This guy is shady, why is he so boring!"Jiang Xia frowned impatiently, "Could it be a prank?Someone doing it deliberately?"

"If it's just a prank, there's no need to make trouble at a time like this."Changan's tone was icy, "The person who sent the message must be on the ship, he's giving us clues to lead us to find him."

Guangzhou nodded, "Analyzing from a technical point of view, the text message is anonymous, and the sender used special means to conceal the number.If it was an ordinary person, this kind of technology would be impossible to do."

"In other words-" You Zhou took over, "This person either has extremely powerful hacking skills, or there is someone behind them providing support.Just like we provided them with help."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Hua Ting gently nodded the table, "But this also shows one thing, he doesn't intend to hide.He wants us to know he exists."

"So what does he want?"Advent frowned, "To plot against us?"

"I don't think so."Jinghai said indifferently, "If he wanted to plot against us, he could have just killed us, he didn't need to send this text message at all, it's rather like a provocation or revenge."

Luo Yang looked around the crowd and looked strange, "Have you guys ever thought ... about what if this is just a pawn, not a real ghost?"The crowd was all stunned.

Jin Ling slowly said, "What if this person is just trying to impersonate a ghost, or that he was already in the organization, zhishiguyiyi just deliberately guiding us to the ghost, rather than actually doing anything to us?"

"That is to say-" Luo Yang's eyes changed slightly, "This might not be a provocation from the ghost, but a test from someone?"

The atmosphere on the yacht was getting tighter and tighter, everyone was guessing who the "ghost" was, or who was posing as a ghost.

"There aren't many people who can hide a text message from us by hiding the number," Yuuji calmly stated his opinion, "and even fewer who can do it without all of us realizing it."

Chang'an's gaze took a sullenly skeptical round of the people present before she suddenly asked, "President, how many staff members do you have on your ship?"

Luo Yang glanced at her and answered absently, "Seventeen staff members."

Chang'an's fingers tapped the tabletop, "What if someone planted a pawn in the crew?"
