The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 279 - Lifeboat

Chapter 279 - Lifeboat

"Miss Mo Li, the young master told me to come to protect you. He was afraid that you might not be able to sleep well without protection. Which is why I'm dressed like this." Ah Si spoke seriously but it was very hard to take him seriously in a dress.
"But what about him?" After all, a number of people targeted Quan Yu. If Ah Si was with Mo Li, who would protect Quan Yu?
"Ah Zhong and the other people are with the young master. We also have our people disguised as staff." The woman before him might be his future female boss so Ah Si didn't hide anything.
"Speaking of, why are you people on the cruise?" Mo Li asked after she sighed in relief. Quan Yu didn't strike her as a man who would attend this kind of event.
"We have a batch of goods that was intercepted. Our investigation revealed that it was the Han family who was behind it. The young master has made several requests to meet with the master of the Han Family but they didn't give the young master face. So young master decided to come to meet him directly. The master of the Han Family was on the guest list but strangely enough, we have not seen anyone from the Han Family on the cruise."
Ah Si told Mo Li half of the truth. Things like how the Han Family had intercepted the goods, he didn't say, after all, this involved the Quan Family's private matter and Mo Li shouldn't need to know that.
With regards to why Mo Li was on the cruise, Ah Si already knew. He was impressed by her guts. If their young master was physically sound, they would make a good pair. "Miss Mo Li, don't worry. The young master has already sent people to check out the 8th and 9th floors. We'll do our best to save your brother." Ah Si said when he saw how worried Mo Li was.
Mo Li nodded but she had to take a deep breath when she saw Ah Si's painted face and the dress he was wearing. "I'm taking the bed and you're taking the sofa." Mo Li turned to the toilet because she couldn't look at Ah Si's face anymore.
...
The next day, Mo Li noticed there were conspicuously fewer models on the cruises.
Ah Si provided Mo Li with some men's clothes. She pulled her hair back and she looked like a young man.
Ah Si was facing the biggest challenge of his career. He sat cautiously on the couch. Ah Si waited outside Mo Li's room while she changed. Suddenly he was dragged by a large man into one of the rooms. Ah Si was forced into the chair and was invited to join a tea party.
"Little sister, nice to meet you. I'm Ting Ting, that's Xue Xue, Duo Duo, and Tang Tang. We're good sisters. We are not interested in the party on the cruise but we were invited to provide entertainment, mind you, the actual kind! But I'm so glad to run into another like-minded spirit. I like your muscles, they're so beautiful." The large man called Ting Ting pulled Ah Si over. "We need to take a selfie!"
To hide his identity... Ah Si forced himself to play along with the drag queens.
"This is so annoying! The app that the host told us to download blocks all video and photo functions on our phones. Or else I'll be uploading the pictures on the internet right now."
"Huh? What app?" Ah Si frowned. That is a strange request.
"Excuse me, girls. Here are some afternoon tea and snacks." Mo Li lowered her voice and pushed in a cart of cakes.
"This is the app! You weren't told to download it?" Ting Ting grabbed a cup of coffee and drank it. He showed the app to Ah Si.
"Oh, the cakes are so cute!" The other drag queens gasped at the cakes. They all took a bite.
Ah Si silently nudged towards Mo Li and reached for one of the cakes. "Thankfully you're here, or else..."
"Don't eat." Mo Li warned.
Soon the drag queens fainted.
"Miss Mo Li... You..."
"Don't worry, it's just common sedative. They will wake up in 2 hours."
"Then we need to leave now." Ah Si removed the dress and put on the waiter's outfit that he had prepared beforehand.
They raced towards the lifeboat. Since they had no signal, Mo Li had no idea if Mo Yun had received her messages or not.
Just as they stepped into the boat, a man shouted, "Hey, what are you two doing on the lifeboat?"
