The captain was a middle-aged man with wrinkles all over his face. He was squatting in the middle of the crowd smoking a pipe. After a while, he stood up and looked at everyone and said calmly, "It's not certain yet that those people are pirates. Let's wait and see."
"Captain, if we don't run now, we will be caught by the pirates and won't be able to escape..." Someone was in a hurry, mainly because he was afraid, and didn't have time to finish his words.
The captain glanced at him fiercely and shouted angrily: "How about I give you my position and you take command!"
The person who spoke shrank his neck and shut his mouth tactfully.
The captain now noticed the two people coming in through the door.
Seeing that both of them were wearing dock workers' clothes, he frowned and said impatiently, "What are you doing here? Get out now."
The rough man dragged Zhai Xicheng in and said, "Captain, this guy is a little weird."
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhai Xicheng, wanting to see what was going on.
Zhai Xicheng tightened his lips, clenched his fists, and in his heart he wanted to kill the person who pulled him over a thousand times. If such a small person was in Continent M, he would not even look at him.
I didn't expect that he would capsize in a ditch one day.
And the reason why the boat capsized was to shake off the pursuers... I was so happy.
"He was acting strangely on the deck. Later, when he saw a speedboat approaching us, he hurriedly ran into the cabin. I don't know what he wanted to do."
Zhai Xicheng gritted his teeth: "I'm just scared..."
The captain also thought it was just a small matter, too trivial compared to the possibility that they might be surrounded by pirates.
He was waving his hands, ready to ask the two to leave and stop arguing.
Just then, the person in charge of lookout outside trotted in.
"Ship, Captain."
The captain was serious, and immediately forgot about Zhai Xicheng and the others. He immediately went up to the man and held his shoulder: "Speak."
"People outside said they were from the Red Alliance. They were not pirates... They blocked our ship and were looking for someone."
Everyone in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the people surrounding them outside were not pirates, and the tension dissipated.
The captain looked much better, but he just couldn't figure out: "Who are the people from the Red Alliance looking for when they blocked our ship?" There are many forces in the illegal area.
Hongyun Company can only be regarded as the smallest and most insignificant force among them. It usually does some wild seafood business and can't even reach the heels of those top bosses even if it jumps.
As an even more insignificant little character in Hongyun Company, he really couldn't understand why a force like the Red Alliance would come after them.
The captain knew what was happening, and without even waiting for his crew to respond, he immediately ordered, "Stop the ship and let their crew members come aboard."
In a corner where no one notices.
When Zhai Xicheng heard this, his expression changed again and again, and he even wanted to turn around and leave.
However, he soon discovered that the rough man was still holding him tightly, grabbing his wrist and not giving him any chance to escape.
Even the man immediately looked at him vigilantly the moment he moved.
The look was as if he was looking at a thief.
Zhai Xicheng always hid behind others' backs and plotted against them, so he was rarely treated like that by others, especially when he was caught as... a thief.
He felt a dull pain in his chest and was almost angry to death.
But none of these can compare to the time passing by and the sense of urgency Qiao Nian feels as she is about to board the ship...
**
On deck.
The white cargo ship stopped on its own initiative.
It was much easier for Qiao Nian and his group to go up.
Huabi was the first to board the boat and stretched out his hand to the girl: "Sun, I'll pull you up."
The girl had already climbed onto the boat nimbly and quickly. After getting on board, she turned her wrist and pulled down her baseball cap.
