Because at this moment, right in front of him, there happened to be a large ship that was hundreds of meters long.

Smelling the fishy smell of the sea and listening to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, Chen Rui couldn't help but feel enlightened.

They actually came to the beach again, considering the distance they had to drive today.

He roughly deduced that they should have arrived at a dock on the west coast again.

And most likely, it's back to Seattle.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back, but unfortunately he could only see a vast expanse of mountains behind him.

And this harbor should be a very secret private pier.

"Ha! Didn't you expect that? Our auction this time will be on this ship."

At some point, He Xiaohe came behind him again and said to him with a smile.

Chen Rui pretended to be very surprised: "Wow, I really didn't expect that you would come up with such a big deal."

"Haha, didn't I tell you before? Let you rest assured about the safety of this auction."

"Let me tell you, no one will dare to cause trouble this time."

He Xiaohe patted his shoulder as he spoke.

"Let's go and get on the boat."

He Xiaohe said, turned around and led the way to the boat.

Chen Rui hurriedly followed, and the two of them, one behind the other, soon arrived at the side of the ship.

A large door opened on the side of the ship, and there was a large iron plate directly connecting the ship to the dock.

Several forklifts are currently driving on the deck, transporting goods into the cabin.

Chen Rui could see that there were many wooden boxes wrapped very tightly inside.

There are also many kinds of food, canned food, fresh vegetables and fruits wrapped in plastic wrap.

It seems that the ship will go to sea after the supplies are completed. Could it be that this auction is on the high seas?

He had heard people say that the high seas were the most popular place for reselling cultural relics.

Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to catch up this time.

He Xiaohe was obviously a privileged person on this ship. No one dared to stop him along the way.

Chen Rui followed him from the cabin to the deck outside.

Standing on the deck and looking into the distance, Chen Rui was finally sure that this was a private harbor near Seattle.

Because from the deck, you can see the Olympia Mountains in the distance and the city of Seattle below.

But after confirming his location, he got a headache again.

I came here this time with a mission.

I wanted to help Qiao Li and the others check out the spots, but now my phone has been taken away.

We are at sea again, how can we contact Qiao Li and the others?

Even if he discovers those stolen cultural relics, he can't notify Qiao Li?

Chen Rui's brain started to hurt when he thought of this.

"Ha, have you seen enough of the scenery? The boat hasn't sailed yet, so the scenery isn't really interesting."

"When the boat starts sailing and leaves the harbor, I will take you out to sea fishing. That will be fun."

He Xiaohe accompanied him on the deck and blew the sea breeze back, and then said to him.

Just now he saw Chen Rui looking at Seattle in the distance in a daze. He thought it was Chen Rui's first time riding such a big ship, and he was shocked.

Chen Rui, on the other hand, was very cooperative and had a look of surprise on his face.

"What? Can you still fish in the sea? That's great. When can our boat sail?"

"Well, this may have to wait until night, and we have to add fuel later, which is more time-consuming."

He Xiaohe really didn't treat him as an outsider and just told him whatever he asked.

Chen Rui nodded: "What about Xiao He, where is my phone number? Can you give it back to me? I'll let my family know that they're safe."

"Well, brother, you are already on the boat now, this is not okay..."

He Xiaohe rejected Chen Rui with an expression of embarrassment, and Chen Rui scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Ah? That's it!"

"Brother, since you are on the boat, you must abide by the rules. But don't worry, wait until the boat starts moving."

"We will naturally return the phone to you."

He Xiaohe smiled and patted Chen Rui on the shoulder, and then spoke again without waiting for his reply.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see your room."

After saying that, He Xiaohe turned around and went up to the second floor.

This ship is obviously configured as a cruise ship. Chen Rui doesn't know much about ships, but he also knows that this ship is not small.

He guessed that it was a 10,000-ton cruise ship.

Although it can't be compared with those super large cruise ships that weigh 200,000 to 300,000 tons.

But the organization behind He Xiaohe was able to mobilize such a large ship in just a few days, and that was a feat.

There are three floors of buildings on the deck of this ship. The first and second floors are guest rooms, and the third floor is the cockpit.

There is also a captain's room.

On the first floor below the deck is a comprehensive hall with a shopping mall, canteen, bar, dance floor, and cinema.

You can even see slot machines and card tables.

Chen Rui guessed that this boat must have been a gambling boat before.

At this time, the original part of the casino was probably demolished and turned into an auction venue.

He Xiaohe was considerate enough and arranged Chen Rui in a suite on the second floor.

There is a large room with an area of ​​more than 30 square meters, with an independent bathroom and a large window that can see the sea view outside.

This is definitely considered a high-end match among the boarding personnel.

After arranging Chen Rui's residence, He Xiaohe left on business.

Chen Rui walked around the boat himself and had a rough grasp of the environment.

Fortunately, the ship was full of staff coming in and out at the moment, and no one paid attention to him.

This allowed him to successfully get a thorough understanding of the ship's environment.

After he understood the general layout of the ship, it was getting late and the sun was beginning to set.

All the supplies needed on the ship have been replenished, and the side hatches have been closed.

Then several oil tankers came from a distance and began to replenish the cruise ship with fuel.

The workers on the dock have also dispersed.

All the staff on the ship were also missing.

Some of them went down to the engine room for inspection and maintenance.

More people gathered on the lower deck to prepare for dinner.

Some of them were idle and bored, so they started playing billiards and making money.

Chen Rui took a quick bite on the negative floor and returned to his room.

After he came back, he fell on the bed and began to worry.

Without a mobile phone, he could not inform Qiao Li and the others about the situation on the ship.

There is no way to pass on the information that I have detected, so isn't this trip in vain?

Do I really want to accompany He Xiao and their one-day trip to the high seas for nothing?

When he thought of this, he felt quite unwilling.

But at this moment, there was a soft sound from the glass window next to the window.

Chen Rui didn't pay attention at first, but after a while, there was another gentle knocking sound.

They sat up. Could someone be climbing through the window?

He quickly came to the window, opened the curtains and looked outside, and was stunned.
Chapter completed!
