In the captain's lounge.
Only the rough man and Zhai Xicheng were still inside, everyone else went to the deck with the captain.
It seemed that there was no one inside.
Zhai Xicheng tried hard to control the twitching muscles in his cheeks, and with a forced friendly expression, he turned his head and said to the man who was holding him tightly, "Brother, let me go first."
"Hehe, you want to run?"
The dark-skinned elder brother tightened his grip with his fingers and said with a disdainful expression, "You're dreaming!"
Zhai Xicheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to kill. He stopped pretending and stared coldly at the man who held him tightly. "Do you know who I am? Do you know my identity? I tell you, I can crush you to death as easily as killing an ant. Not only you, but also your family, your relatives and friends will pay the price of their lives because of you. You still want to hold on to me?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Although the rough guy didn't immediately believe what he said, he was still shocked by the look in Zhai Xicheng's eyes as if he was looking at a dead person.
He was puzzled in his heart, vaguely feeling that the other party was not just trying to scare him.
"You're acting weird, what if you steal something..."
"I didn't steal!"
Zhai Xicheng interrupted him with a pale face, gritting his teeth and staring at the man's face: "Is there anything on your boat worth stealing? Should I steal fish or crabs?"
"But what are you doing on the deck, grinning like a fool?" The rough man loosened his grip a little and looked at him as if he were a fool. "If you don't act weird first, I won't hold you back."
Zhai Xicheng sensed his momentary hesitation and immediately struggled to break free from the man's grip, while at the same time quickly distancing himself from the rough man.
The rough man didn't expect that he broke free from his hand so quickly and was about to grab it.
Zhai Xicheng immediately threatened: "Think it over carefully, and don't be afraid of implicating your family."
The man's movements of chasing him froze, and he looked him up and down. For a moment he was not sure whether Zhai Xicheng's words about revenge on him were just a scare tactic.
It only took a moment.
Zhai Xicheng rubbed his painful wrist and started searching the cabin for diving equipment.
"What are you doing!" The rough man saw him blatantly 'stealing' and shouted. "..." Zhai Xicheng pretended not to hear and hurriedly looked for something he could use.
If it weren't for this idiot who insisted on holding on to him and wasting his precious time, he might have hidden underwater by now.
He completely ignored the fact that his behavior angered the big man who brought him here, and the big man was hesitating whether to meddle in other people's business.
There was a sound of messy footsteps outside.
He looked back at the cabin where no one had arrived, then looked at the young man who was rummaging around in the lounge, and whispered, "Someone's coming."
"It must be the captain and his men who have returned."
"It's not too late for you to stop and admit your mistake..."
Zhai Xicheng pursed his lips, quickened his hands, and looked extremely serious, as if he was facing a life-or-death situation...
The footsteps are getting closer.
Getting closer.
Da da da.
Every step was like a death-beat on his beating heart.
faster.
Faster.
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhai Xicheng's forehead, and his complexion turned visibly paler. His hands moved faster, searching everywhere for something he could use.
But God seemed to be against him.
He searched the captain's lounge for a long time but couldn't find a usable diving suit or respirator.
