Top Secret Entrustment [Rebirth]

Miami does not have obvious four seasons. Even in winter, the temperature is maintained at around 20 degrees. There are only a few cases where the low temperature below zero occurs, and snowfall is the only time since the meteorological records.

But this year is a bit abnormal. The temperature has continued to drop since mid-November, and it has dropped below minus five degrees in December.

It was the first time Xiao Yu encountered such a cold winter since she was a child, and she couldn't bear the damp and cold sea breeze at all. As soon as she finished her leave, she quickly moved with Loki back to the elevator apartment relatively far away from the coast.

The work mobility of the other three people in the group was very poor, and it took nearly a week to complete the handover and get the vacation one after another.

At 08:30 in the evening, Lu Cen's apartment, study room.

The warm air was blowing a lot, and the indoor temperature was around 30 degrees. Archimedes wore only a sports vest on his upper body, showing his strong chest muscles and arms. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He poured the brewed coffee Pour it into four mugs, and add milk and sugar according to the different preferences of several people.

"Drink it while it's hot." Archimedes took a cup with more milk and less sugar and moved to Xiao Yu's side, looked at him worriedly, and asked, "Do you want to turn the air conditioner higher?"

Xiao Yu was wearing a thicker version of Pikachu one-piece pajamas, with several alpaca wool coats on top, her two feet tucked under Loki's furry belly, nestling in the corner of the sofa like a ball, pulling her head together, looking listless The bitter look of preparing to hibernate.

Xiao Yu shook his head slowly, and was about to speak when Haqiu Haqiu sneezed several times with an itchy nose. Archimedes quickly put down the cup and gave him a tissue.

Lu Cen, who was filing the materials, looked up from the back of the notebook when he heard the sound, and couldn't help laughing: "You can't take it if Miami is a little colder. What do you plan to do when you send out the commission in two days?"

The tip of a certain nose was rubbed red, like an unhappy snowman, looked at Lu Cen resentfully, and said, "What do you mean? The destination of the commission is cold?"

After his words fell, the door of the study was opened, Luo Yifan was picked up by the turbid heat as soon as he entered the door, he opened the door directly to ventilate, frowning: "What's the situation?"

There is no geothermal heating in Miami. At this time, the temperature outside is much lower than that in the study room, and the hot and cold air are convective. Xiao Yu only felt a gust of cold wind blowing around, which directly broke through all the cold protection equipment on his body.

"Ha Qiu—!"

Lu Cen adjusted the projector, got up and walked over with three entrusted materials, raised his chin at the round thing on the sofa, and joked: "Hurry up and take a closer look, I guess in a few days, Florida will appear This is the first case of death due to abnormal weather."

Luo Yifan: "..."

Xiao Yu: "..."

Xiao Yu stretched out her right hand that was tucked in her sleeve, and gave Lu Cen a middle finger.

Lu Cen smiled indifferently, motioned for Yifan to close the door, and then distributed the materials to the three of them.

"10 minutes to read," he took a sip of his cup of sugar-free and milk-free black coffee, glanced at the three subordinates in turn, and added: "If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time."

Luo Yifan took off his trench coat and sat down next to Xiao Yu, and naturally opened his arms to let Xiao Yu lean into his arms, and the two of them read a copy.

This mission has nothing to do with theft, and is a protective entrustment. This kind of entrustment usually results in direct contact with the client, so the information will be refined to include personal information, occupation, social status and other possible content.

It stands to reason that Lu Cen's group's vacation time is not over yet, and the new commission will not be their turn. Xiao Yu felt a little strange, and habitually skipped the part about the client's information first, but was clearly seeing [the reason for the commission assignment] An instant surprise.

"Direct assignment from Party A?" Xiao Yu frowned, and said to Lu Cen, "The organization information is absolutely confidential. How could the principal know about our group?"

"It's a long story, and I'll explain it to you later," Lu Cen said, "I had a conference call with the boss before tonight, and the result of the discussion is that this commission is probably from Cornell Schuman challenge."

Luo Yifan put down the documents, a chill appeared in his dark gray eyes, and he said sharply: "So, even though he knows that this commission might be a trap by Schumann, the boss still has no intention of rejecting it?"

Lu Cen hummed hesitantly, as if he didn't fully agree with what he was going to say next, "Boss thinks Shaw can't escape forever, and a challenge between thieves often means an opportunity." After finishing speaking, he pressed the remote control The device turned the page for the projected content, and a photo of a young man in a formal suit was displayed on the screen.

"The name of the client is Daniel Fred. His father is an American tourism tycoon. Mr. Daniel will hold an engagement ceremony with his fiancée, Miss Maggie, on Christmas Eve. For this reason, the old Fred specially bought a diamond weighing 37.6 pounds from South Africa. [-]-carat pink diamond rough, and invited jewelers to create a unique Josephine tiara in the world."

The projection switched, and the frame was fixed as a close-up of the black card. At the same time, Lu Cen took out the original card and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying, "Do you recognize this handwriting?"

It was beautifully handwritten in cursive English, and it was not machine-typed. Only the top thieves would not mind leaving such ink marks on the real thing that might reveal their identity. Xiao Yu took the card and nodded slowly, pointing to the card. After lightly tracing the slightly sunken handwriting, the front of the card reads—[On the night of the ceremony, the queen will lose her crown. 】Lu Cen reminded: "The content that can answer your questions is on the back."

Xiao Yu was startled, and turned the card to the back.

There is also a line written on it——

[Dear Mr. Fred, for the safety of you and your family, I kindly suggest that you do not inform the police of this matter, and do not modify your itinerary plan. You can contact an organization called org and specify mr.shaw and its team at your service.

Of course, you have reasons to question the credibility of this advice, so in order to express my sincerity, I provide a verification method, you can try to contact your most trusted account manager, and my last reminder is - Doubt must be paid cost.

Signed: Sincerely, Thief Who Stole the Crown]

Xiao Yu returned the card to Lu Cen, and said helplessly, "Did Fred do it directly?"

"No," Lu Cen said, "He contacted the account manager."

Xiao Yu pressed his forehead with a headache and did not speak, Luo Yifan said calmly: "How many died?"

"If you have followed the news during this time, you will have noticed that a villa explosion occurred in downtown New York last week, killing a couple and their three children," Lu Cen said, "The police's investigation found that the natural gas used Improper, and finally dealt with as an accident.”

"When the explosion happened, Mr. Fred was on the phone with the account manager, so...he believed the content of the card, contacted the organization, and specified that you should complete the commission."

"Didn't notify the police?" Luo Yifan asked.

Lu Cen: "Fred was worried about something happening at home, so he didn't dare to do other things."

"Go on, Lulu," Xiao Yu waved his hand, "It says in the information that the ceremony will be held on the cruise ship?"

Lu Cen switched the screen again, and what replaced the black card was a route map.

"This is the latest cruise line launched by Fred's company. On the one hand, this engagement is also a promotion for the company's project—" The laser point landed somewhere in the northern part of the European continent, Lu Cen said: "The cruise ship will depart from Helsinki, the capital of Finland. , passing through Murmansk and Franz Josef Land, all the way north, and finally arrived at the North Pole on the evening of the 25th.”

Xiao Yu: "..."

A dog that had already been frozen into a dog growled in its heart, "Damn", and finally understood the meaning of Lu Cen's sentence "What are you going to do with the entrustment in two days", and suddenly the whole person was in a bad mood!

Lu Cen said in a deep voice: "This time there are 316 invited guests and staff on board, and the whole journey is expected to take 15 days. Shaw, if you were Schumann, when would you choose to board the ship?"

Xiao Yu thought about it for a while, and replied: "Cruise ships actually have many limitations as destinations, so in most cases, we will replace existing passengers and board the ship with everyone, but we are not sure that the teacher will go there in person. ..."

"Why?" Lu Cen was puzzled, "He didn't go to the challenge he issued?"

Xiao Yu shook his head hesitantly, and said: "Actually, I don't know, I just feel... Let's put it this way, I am just a teacher-student relationship with him in terms of seniority, and it doesn't make sense for a teacher to challenge a student, let alone Teacher Schumann. Look down on me..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu felt the hand on his shoulder clenched unnaturally, he raised his head in doubt, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

There was no expression on Luo Yifan's stern face, he ignored Xiao Yu, but asked Lu Cen, "Is the cruise ship that Fred's company is in charge of for the North Pole voyage the 'Aurora' icebreaker?"

Lu Cen was stunned by the question, frowned slightly, and said, "As I said just now, this engagement will be a publicity for the new project of the travel company, so the model of the icebreaker is a commercial secret for the time being and will be announced on the day of departure. Why do you ask this? "

"It's nothing," Luo Yifan said lightly, "I think what Xiao Yu said is reasonable, this commission is probably not a challenge from Schumann."

Lu Cen was quiet for a few seconds, and said, "What do you think?"

"At least for now, the first goal he achieved was to get us on board," Luo Yifan said, "Notify the boss to deploy reinforcements at the pole to avoid accidents."

Lu Cen nodded in agreement. After returning to his desk, he began to organize the contents of the meeting into documents and send them to Leonard.

"that……"

Archimedes, who had been unable to intervene until now, saw that the people had finally calmed down, so he said weakly, "What specific tasks do I have on the ship?"

"This point has been discussed with Daniel. We will attend the boarding in different identities. I will give you the specific information of the corresponding identities in a while." Lu Cen said without raising his head.

Xiao Yu looked at Archimedes and knew that this guy was getting nervous, so he said, "Lu Lu, don't count Archimedes, this commission is too risky, after all, he is different from us, there is no need to follow the past and take risks." , just stay home and take care of my dog."

"I've considered this matter, but it didn't work," Lu Cen knew that Xiao Yu would definitely refute, so he simply raised his hand to interrupt him, and continued: "I understand your concerns, but don't forget Archimedes into the organization's identity."

Xiao Yu became silent for a moment when he heard the words.

Lu Cen said: "The best way not to be suspected is to follow us. Needless to say, I told Fred that Aki will help in the cruise ship kitchen, and he will not directly participate in the ceremony even on the night of the ceremony. It’s a pretty safe fake identity.”

"Oh," Xiao Yu said, "What about me?"

"Miss Maggie's personal bodyguard will accompany her all the time except for private time." Lu Cen glanced at someone with a half-smile, "I heard that this lady has a bad temper, so be careful."

Xiao Yu: "..."

"Yi Fan is the vice-captain, and I will accompany you as Daniel's new account manager," Lu Cen said, "So the four of us will not board the ship together. Everyone should pay attention to their new identities, and contact us anytime if you have any questions."

A week later, Finland.

All kinds of luxury cars were parked in the port. The salute exploded in the blue sky and turned into a wisp of blue smoke, floating over Helsinki. The well-dressed guests looked up at the snow-white ice-breaking cruise ship against the low temperature of minus ten degrees. , Boarded the ship one after another under the guidance of the crew.

In a stretched Lincoln on the side of the road, Xiao Yu was shivering wrapped in three down jackets. Sitting next to her was Miss Maggie, who was wearing only a small dress suit and a fox fur cape, and was applying her nail polish for the third time with her legs crossed.

"Daniel said you were a SEAL before you retired? Can you kill a cougar with one punch?"

Xiao Yu: "..."

Xiao Yu sniffed, and said with black lines all over her head, "The younger ones might be fine..."

"How small?" Maggie asked curiously.

"Have you seen The Lion King?" Xiao Yu said.

"Wow!" Maggie said excitedly, "Simba?!"

Xiao Yu touched the tip of his frozen red nose, and said, "Well... the newborn Simba."

Maggie: "..."

"Bodyguard, you're so funny." Maggie seemed to be in a good mood, blowing her nails and waiting for the nail polish to dry. Her beautiful green eyes glanced critically at Xiao Yu, and said, "Don't shake, old...cough, man My legs are only wearing silk stockings and I didn’t shake them, I agreed in advance, I’ll take them off when I get out of the car, and I can only wear a suit and sunglasses, don’t embarrass me!”

Xiao Yu howled angrily in her heart, "Take off your mother", then nodded obediently.

"Miss," the maid sitting diagonally across from her glanced at her watch and reminded, "It's time to board the ship."

Worried about scratching her nails, Maggie stretched out her arms cautiously. The maid hung her handbag on her wrist, then poked Xiao Yu with her elbow, and urged, "Don't shake, go down and open the door for me."

Xiao Yu pushed the door and was about to get out of the car, Maggie said anxiously, "Take off your clothes!"

So Xiao Yu had no choice but to come back and take off the three down jackets. As soon as the cool sea breeze from the Baltic Sea blew, she immediately turned into a dog and walked around to open the door with her tail between her legs.

Maggie got out of the car, adjusted the shawl against the car window, and made sure that the exposed collarbone was just right, then she waved in satisfaction, and walked towards the cruise ship with the maid and Xiao Yu.

In the bright morning sun, the cruise ship's snow-white hull glistened.

Xiao Yu was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes, so he had to put on sunglasses to pretend to be aggressive.

"What's its name?" Xiao Yu asked boredly.

"Aurora," Maggie said in a trance, "the goddess in charge of the aurora in Nordic mythology."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, "Is this name really announced today?"

"Of course, this is a gift from Fred. He promised to take me on a polar trip every year in the future—" Maggie sniffed emotionally, "To commemorate our love."
