That afternoon.
A coastal-city.
After getting off the plane, Dong Xuebin got on a long-distance bus and drove to the coastal port.
On the way, Dong Xuebin turned on his mobile phone for the first time after leaving home in the morning. Didi, didi, didi, and many short messages came in. The numbers were from his family members, including Qu Yunxuan's, Xie Huilan's, and People with Luan Xiaoping were asking where Dong Xuebin was and asking him to go home immediately. Dong Xuebin read them one by one but received no reply. He said that if he could not find his daughter, he would not be able to go back in this life. What he has to do now is to bring Qu Qian back safely, even if it costs him his life. No matter what!
Then, Dong Xuebin started to call one by one.
"Hey, old Qian, where are City C and I? Do you know anyone at the port here? No? It's okay, okay, forget it."
"Hey, Boss Mu, do you know any captain at the port? Oh, it's okay, just ask."
"Brother Zhou, are you familiar with the port in City C? I want to take a boat. Do you think there is a way? Oh, it doesn't matter. I'll ask others then."
"Hey, Director Liu, I'm Xiao Dong..."
Seven or eight calls were made, but nothing was gained.
However, a subordinate of Dong Xuebin when he was working in the Yantai County Public Security Bureau told Dong Xuebin to ask Liu Dahai, the director of Huitian Township Police Station, saying that Old Liu seemed to have relatives there. Liu Dahai was very familiar with Dong Xuebin. Dong Xuebin had saved him and the two of them had a life-long relationship, so he called him immediately and told him about the situation of using a boat to go to sea.
When Liu Dahai heard this, he said, "Where are you going?"
"The ship to Continent F is fine, and the cargo ship doesn't matter."
"There are no formal documents, even if you go..."
"I just want to take a boat ride to relax and have some fun without going to land."
"That's it, okay. Since Director Dong has spoken, I have to help. I won't ask any unnecessary questions. I do have a relative who is the captain of a cargo ship, but he doesn't go to F continent. , let me ask you first and let him find someone for you."
"Okay, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, just wait for my news."
There are many people and many paths, and Dong Xuebin has many enemies, but after so many years with Fenzhou City, Dong Xuebin also has many friends, and he finally found a way to contact him.
Twenty minutes later, the long-distance bus arrived near the port and stopped.
Dong Xuebin strode towards the port, but what he saw was some security and security personnel, who checked the people entering the port very strictly. Dong Xuebin saw that all people entering the port required entry and exit passes, and other outsiders could not enter at all. One thought Those who went in to take pictures were also blocked from outside. However, this obviously did not trouble Dong Xuebin. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he found a hidden place and silently said stop.
Time has stopped!
Dong Xuebin swaggered into the port!
A stop is released and time resumes again!
At the same time, Dong Xuebin’s cell phone rang—it was a call from Liu Dahai.
"Director Dong, I have made contact and will give you a position. Just go there and find a man named Niu Dazhao. He is the captain of a cargo ship running on the F continent line. He is about to set sail. He has a close relationship with my relative. There’s no problem, but he said you have to go through port security first, otherwise he can’t help.”
"I'm already in the port."
Liu Dahai was stunned and thought to himself, if Director Xiao Dong couldn't even enter a port, then he wouldn't be called Director Xiao Dong. This kind of thing would definitely be a piece of cake for him.
In fact, Dong Xuebin could use stop to sneak into a ship and secretly go to sea, but then he thought about it and rejected it. Firstly, Dong Xuebin didn't know when the ship would sail to F Continent, and secondly, Dong Xuebin's body There is not much time left, only a few minutes. He must save some time. Finally, Dong Xuebin will inevitably be discovered even if he sneaks onto the cargo ship. He doesn't want to be in trouble.
According to the location given to him by Liu Dahai, Dong Xuebin found the third area. In the distance was a vast ocean, gray, and neither the sky nor the sea looked very clean. There was a small cargo ship docked on the shore, and the crew on board was busy moving things. It looked like it was about to set off.
Dong Xuebin turned off his cell phone and walked up, looking up at the people on the boat.
"Who are you?" On the boat, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with a beard looked down at him.
Dong Xuebin said: "You are Captain Niu, right? I am Xiao Dong."
Niu Dazhao looked at him, "The one introduced by Old Liu?" The Old Liu he mentioned was probably Liu Dahai's relative, "How did you get into the port?"
"...walked in."
Niu Dazhao was happy, "Okay, come up first!"
Dong Xuebin got on the ship, and many crew members looked askance at his uninvited guest.
Niu Dazhao didn't say anything, and took Dong Xuebin into the cabin, pushed the door and walked into a cabin, "Xiao Dong, I heard that you want to go out to sea to see the world? To relax?"
"Yes." Dong Xuebin replied.
Niu Dazhao shook his head repeatedly, "If you ask me, you'd better go back."
Dong Xuebin looked at him and said, "Why?"
Niu Dazhao sighed and said: "Young man, going to sea is not as simple as you think. Judging from your appearance, there must be no relevant formalities and documents, right? If you get on the ship and go to sea, this is already called illegal smuggling. When you get to F Continent, you will have no formalities. I can’t even get off the boat.”
"I won't cause any trouble to you if I don't get off the boat."
"I'm not afraid of trouble. I used to take people out from my hometown who wanted to go out for fun. As long as they stayed in the cabin when leaving the port and docking, they were basically fine. But it's different now. I believe you've heard this too. Are pirates rampant in the waters of continent F? We are a small cargo ship and cannot afford to hire a military frigate. Otherwise, we will not even be able to recover the cost of this trip, and it will be in vain. Without frigates, we may be attacked at any time in the waters there. Although the probability of a pirate attack is not very high, have you thought about this danger? "
"It doesn't matter."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Think it through, please, Captain Niu."
Niu Dazhao glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Okay, I won't say any more. Just think about it carefully. Don't blame me for not reminding you if something happens."
pirate
Dong Xuebin went for these bastards!
Dong Xuebin said that he bears all risks himself.
Niu Dazhao hummed, "It will take a few more days to get to F Continent. You can stay here these days."
This cabin is a simple single room with a bed and a table. Although it cannot be compared with the environmental conditions of other ships, for a small cargo ship, this is already good treatment. The reason why Niu Dazhao arranged for Dong Xuebin to be here was firstly to give face to his old friend. Lao Liu strongly recommended the person who came here, so he could not arrange it too badly. Secondly, Niu Dazhao saw Dong Xuebin's little arms and legs. , is really a bit weak. If Dong Xuebin is given to the crew room and squeezed into a room with several people, Niu Dazhao is afraid that Dong Xuebin won't be able to bear it.
"Thank you." Dong Xuebin thanked him.
Niu Dazhao shook his hand, turned around and went out to do his own business.
Dong Xuebin was a gangster at the moment and couldn't go out for a walk, so he lay down on his bed and stared at the top of his head with cold eyes without blinking. His mind was filled with the lovely figure of his daughter.
Half an hour later.
There were bursts of noisy movement outside, followed closely by the ship, which swayed slightly and set sail.
Dong Xuebin waited for a while and then walked out of the cabin irritably. A cold sea breeze suddenly hit his face, pricking his skin like a needle. There was a vast ocean all around, and the land in the distance was looming. The deck was full of busy sailors. There were some figures moving things, some collecting ropes, and some chatting. Niu Dazhao didn't know whether he went to the captain's cabin or somewhere, but he was not seen on the deck.
"Oh, I hope this voyage goes well."
"My mother-in-law asked me for a peace charm before she left, but I don't know if it will work."
"This group of pirates is becoming more and more rampant, and they seem to be specifically targeting the ships of our Republic."
"Isn't that right? Didn't Lao Li, who was kidnapped by pirates last year, come back this time to talk about it? There were cargo ships from several countries in the sea area at that time, and there was one not far from Lao Li's ship. What happened? What happened? The pirates didn't even look at the ship after they rushed over. They passed by and went straight to our ship. As if they were targeting us, they started shooting at our people! "
"No? Why are you targeting us?"
"It is our republic that will pay the ransom. Some countries ignore the ransom."
"Paralysis! Are these people addicted to bullying us?"
"Yeah, wasn't it mentioned in the news yesterday? Another Republic cargo ship was hijacked, and many people died. Those pirates are asking us for ransom again!"
"You shouldn't give it to them!"
“What will happen to the hostages if we don’t give them money?”
"Kill all these pirates sooner or later!"
"Can't a frigate capsize a small pirate boat? But those people hold a grudge. It's easy to kill one or two of them, but what about in the future? If they encounter a Republic ship again, they won't go on a killing spree? It's like We don’t have money to hire a frigate, what should we do?”
"Aren't they killing people now? Six people died this time, right?"
"Oh, these pirates deserve to die!"
At the mention of pirates, several crew members were a little angry.
After listening, Dong Xuebin's eyes turned cold. The situation was indeed as everyone said. They were hijacked by pirates again and again, and they compromised again and again, giving ransom to the pirates out of concern for the impact and the safety of the hostages. This made This group of pirates is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and they are bullied by others. They are aware that the Republic does not dare to harm them, so they become more and more arrogant. This is why the pirates will not care about the ships of other countries when they see the ships of the Republic, and swarm on the ground. Come to burn, kill, plunder, steal goods, kill people, seize ships, and finally wait happily for the Republic to give them ransom
What a face this is... RQ
