Protagonist:

Lin Hao

Just as he turned around preparing to walk back into the room, Lin Hao, who had been hiding in the dark all along, darted out like a ghost. Taking advantage of Lei Gong's total lack of guard, he struck out fiercely, landing a precise blow on the back of Lei Gong's neck. Lei Gong didn't even have time to let out a grunt before his vision went black and he fainted, his whole body pitching forward.

Lin Hao's eyes were sharp and hands quick; he hurriedly caught Lei Gong's body, not letting him hit the ground and make a sound. Then he scanned the surroundings, spotted the pillow on the bed, and a thought struck him. He immediately picked up the pillow and pressed it hard over Lei Gong's face.

Although Lei Gong had already passed out, his body still instinctively struggled a few times. However, under Lin Hao's powerful suppression, before long the struggling movements grew smaller and smaller, until they ceased entirely. Just like that, Lei Gong was smothered to death by Lin Hao.

Lin Hao didn't dare delay in the slightest. He swiftly stashed Lei Gong's corpse into his space, then tiptoed to the window, carefully pushed it open, and poked his head out to observe the situation outside.

Then he nimbly climbed out the window, scaled along the wall, and silently crawled back into Ding Yao's room next door.

Upon entering Ding Yao's room, Lin Hao let out a long breath. Although the plan had gone smoothly so far, he knew clearly in his heart that there were still many matters to handle next; he absolutely could not let his guard down.

On Ding Yao's side, after returning to the room and seeing Lin Hao return safely, her heart also eased slightly. But both understood that now was still not the time to relax — a hard battle lay ahead. After all, once Lei Gong's death was exposed, it would inevitably stir up a huge uproar in the jianghu.

Lin Hao stayed in Ding Yao's room continuously collecting interest. Time passed second by second. He kept an ear on the movements in Lei Gong's room next door while scheming the follow-up plan in his mind.

Unknowingly, he stayed like this until past eleven o'clock.

Right then, some noisy commotion came from Lei Gong's room next door — sounded like people walking about, and loud talking voices.

Lin Hao and Ding Yao exchanged a glance, mutually understanding each other perfectly. Ding Yao immediately hurriedly straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, put on an act of nothing having happened, and slowly walked out of the room.

The moment she stepped out the door, she saw those few bodyguards at the doorway of Lei Gong's room with anxious faces. One was raising his hand ready to knock; another was looking at his watch, muttering: "It's almost time for the appointed battle with Hong Wake. How come the Helmsman still hasn't stirred? Could something have happened?"

As he spoke, the bodyguard about to knock increased his force, knocking and shouting: "Helmsman, Helmsman, are you awake? It's about time. We have to depart for the Wharf."

But after knocking for a long while, there was still not a single response from inside. The bodyguards' faces grew increasingly ugly. After exchanging a look, one of them steeled himself, fished out the backup key, and opened the door.

Several people rushed in all at once. They first looked all around the living room, then immediately searched the bedroom, Wei Sheng Jian, and other places thoroughly. However, to their astonishment, there wasn't a single person in this room — empty and hollow. Where was Lei Gong's shadow?

The bodyguards instantly panicked, staring at each other in dismay — you look at me, I look at you — momentarily at a loss. One slightly older bodyguard frowned and said: "This... what's going on? Where did the Helmsman go? Could it be he was taken by Hong Wake's people..."

He hadn't finished speaking when the other bodyguards' faces changed one after another. Someone shouted: "Impossible. This hotel is heavily guarded. How could Hong Wake's people get in? We've been at the door the whole time. No one came in."

Everyone discussed in a babble, but no one could explain the reason. The whole scene fell into chaos and panic. Ding Yao stood to the side, her face showing just the right touch of doubt and worry, but in her heart she was secretly thinking: Where did Lei Gong's corpse go?

Seeing they couldn't find Lei Gong in the room, those bodyguards were frantic with anxiety. They didn't dare delay in the slightest. One of them hurriedly fished out his mobile phone and dialed Zhong Yong Bo's number.

The moment the call connected, that bodyguard anxiously shouted loudly: "Master Bo, it's bad! The Helmsman is gone! We came to wake the Helmsman at the usual time to prepare to go to the Wharf for the appointment. But we've searched this room inside out — not even a human shadow!"

Zhong Yong Bo, who was at an outside stronghold arranging manpower and preparing intensively for tonight's battle with Hong Wake, heard this and instantly widened his eyes. He never expected that at this critical juncture such a mishap would occur. He immediately shouted into the phone: "You few pieces of trash, search properly! How could he just disappear? Is he hiding somewhere? Search again carefully!"

The bodyguard hurriedly replied: "Master Bo, we've searched several times already! Really no one. We've searched everywhere in the room. Indeed no one. What do we do?"
