“Well…” Li Wenjing thought for a moment, “My family is in the arms business, so wouldn’t that count as a mechanical profession? As for myself… I’m a businessman, and my side job is gambling. Is that explanation clear enough?”
As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and drew a large "R" on the wall next to him. Then he drew a circle on top of it.
The captain's expression immediately softened: "You are... a member of the Rothschild family?"
"To be precise, they are business partners, allies of the Rothschild family." Li Wenjing smiled slightly. "Please, I'm Chinese. Do you think the Rothschild family could possibly have members with yellow skin and black hair?"
The captain lowered his gun and sighed, "Sorry, I guess I was a little nervous."
“Let’s do as you say for now and try to gather a group of sailors… I believe the other side doesn’t have enough manpower to control the entire ship, otherwise they wouldn’t have stopped the elevator and locked the tourists in the cabins. We need to find some manpower and then go to the armory to get weapons. As for what to do after that… you’re the captain.”
Li Wenjing said calmly, "Moreover, we have a very favorable condition."
"What?"
“My identity,” Li Wenjing said slowly, “I don’t even know my identity, Captain, and I believe these people certainly don’t know either. And coincidentally, I originally planned that a helicopter would come to the ship to pick me up in an hour. An hour later, when the helicopter arrives, if these hijackers on the ship do not allow the helicopter to land… then my family will know that I am in danger on this ship… and then… hehe.”
“So, if we play it safe, we just need to find a place to hide for an hour, and someone will come to rescue us.” Chen Xiao suddenly smiled faintly.
"You could say that... However, it seems that neither you, a young man, nor I... are particularly fond of being conservative. We both prefer to take the initiative, don't we?"
"How could you tell?" Chen Xiao looked into Li Wenjing's eyes.
“You’re a lot like a guy I know… a lot like him back then.” Li Wenjing muttered, “Young, impulsive, and arrogant. And… he seems to be very popular with girls. Ugh… it’s really unbelievable.”
Chen Xiao shut his mouth. Suddenly, he frowned and quietly turned to look at the front of the ship... Even though there was a wall behind him, Chen Xiao seemed to be staring into his mind's eye.
A few seconds later, he took a deep breath: "Whatever you're planning to do, you'd better hurry!"
"Over there," Chen Xiao pointed to the distance behind him, "what's that place about 150 meters away?"
Nie Feng's expression changed, turning grim: "The drainage tank at the bow of the ship!!"
Chen Xiao gave a wry smile and looked at Li Wenjing: "It seems... although you're not the leader of these people, they don't seem to be much dumber than you. The ideas you came up with, they seem to have thought of as well."
Chapter 145 [Acquaintances]
Li Wenjing stared at Chen Xiao, frowned, and pointed in that direction: "How did you know there were people there?"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "I just know."
Li Wenjing remained silent for a moment, staring at Chen Xiao for a while, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. But then, suddenly, the calm and composed man's expression changed!
"Oh no!" For the first time, Li Wenjing finally showed signs of losing his composure.
"What?" Chen Xiao and Nie Feng asked at the same time.
Li Wenjing's smile gradually turned bitter. His eyes flickered, but he uttered each word as if it were coming out from between his teeth: "They didn't think of my idea, but... I'm afraid they really want to breach the hull and sink this ship!"
Chen Xiao wasn't stupid either; a thought quickly made him realize the key point!
If they're really after Prince Sato... these guys have control of the ship but aren't in a hurry to attack the first class... so sinking the ship does seem to be the most energy-efficient way!
In the first-class cabin, there are probably over a hundred Japanese entourage, bodyguards, and samurai. It would be no easy task to break through them head-on and take Prince Sato's life.
But if we sink this ship, it seems much simpler!
The vast ocean first occupied the ship's communications room, making telegrams and similar communication impossible. Then, by simply installing a signal jamming device, other means of communication on board were blocked. So…
If the ship is sunk and there's no rescue available, on the vast ocean, the only outcome will truly be drowning and becoming fish food!
The three men dared not delay any longer. Nie Feng led the two men straight down the passageway to the sailors' lounge. This lounge was originally a place for the lower-ranking sailors on the ship to rest and relax. It provided some crude, low-grade alcoholic beverages and also served as a place for the sailors to eat. As for other entertainment, there was nothing else.
According to Nie Feng's explanation, generally speaking, in accordance with the sailors' watch shifts, there are usually at least seven or eight sailors resting in the lounge who are not on duty.
When the three arrived at the sailors' lounge, they saw two men in white crew uniforms standing in the corridor outside the door, smoking and looking around.
Nie Feng glanced at them, but suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute! These two guys aren't from my ship!"
Are you sure?
Nie Feng answered confidently, "I recognize every single person on my ship!"
Three men hid in the corner of the wall... Sure enough, they soon discovered that the two men dressed as sailors had bulging clothes around their waists, as if they were hiding some kind of weapon.
Chen Xiao suddenly revealed a strange smile and looked at Captain Nie Feng: "Captain, are you brave?"
"Huh?" Nie Feng was taken aback, but seemed to see a hint of malicious mockery in Chen Xiao's strange smile.
Before he could react, he suddenly felt Chen Xiao kick him hard in the thigh!
How powerful was Chen Xiao? Even though Nie Feng was also quite skilled, he was still kicked by Chen Xiao and fell straight out of the corner of the wall.
With that fall, he landed face-first on the ground, and the two men standing at the entrance of the lounge immediately spotted him. Seeing someone suddenly tumble out from behind the wall, they snapped to attention. Their first reaction was to draw their guns and point them at Nie Feng on the ground.
When the two of them saw Nie Feng's appearance clearly, they both froze in shock!
Clearly, they recognized Nie Feng!
A glint of delight flashed in the eyes of the two men, and they were about to come over and grab Nie Feng...
Just then, Li Wenjing, who was hiding behind, saw the air behind the two guys suddenly flicker, and then the figure of the young man named Chen Xiao suddenly appeared out of the air without a sound!
Li Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look behind him—sure enough, Chen Xiao, who had been standing behind him just now, had disappeared!
The two guys who were about to grab Nie Feng were completely unaware that Chen Xiao had already teleported behind them, and their fate was predictable...
Two simple heavy punches were enough to take down the two guys, one of whom was so badly blasted into the wall by Chen Xiao's punch.
