Old Ruan and the old man listened carefully to the movements outside the cabin with grave expressions. Fang Xiaogang could not hear anything. Just like before, there was only the sound of the engine and the sound of the waves.
The porthole at the top of the cabin was opened. Boss was back. He climbed down from the top, closed the porthole, and then went down to the bottom of the cabin.
The boss glanced at Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li and said to his accomplices,"Tie their hands and feet and seal their mouths. There's a yacht that's about to catch up to us. I don't know what it's for, but it's not the coast guard. Let's hide first and see what happens.”
Hong Kong.
The phone in the basement of the Guardian Theological Seminary suddenly remembered that it was the station master's private line. The station chief ran over to pick it up. A cold and emotionless female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hong Kong Communication Center?"
"Yes."
"The alarm has been lifted. Inform all units that have been contacted to stop the operation.”
"Alright, according to the rules, I want to confirm your identity.”the station chief said.
" War Team, Guna." She hung up after saying that.
The stationmaster was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said to the operators,""Sisters, the alarm has been lifted. Contact the units we have notified and stop the operation.”
"Alright." The operators got busy again.
Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li's hands and feet were tied up with hemp ropes, and their mouths were wrapped with three to four layers of thick tape around the back of their heads. They were thrown into a corner together. Old Man and Old Ruan stood guard in front of them, watching them. Old Five stood guard by the gangway, and Boss sat on an upside-down steel basin in the cabin.
Between the sound of the waves and the sound of the ship's motor, there was an even sharper sound that came closer from afar.
Suddenly, there were a few popping sounds. The motor of their ship suddenly stopped, and there were a few curses from the people on the deck.
Old Ruan and the old man were shocked and looked at each other. "There's a gun!" Old Ruan said to Boss.”
The sound of the motor suddenly stopped. Of course, everyone knew that something was wrong. The boss ran to the ladder and wanted to climb up. He stopped after taking two steps and turned around to make a silent gesture to everyone. He gently returned to the bottom of the cabin.
There was a thud on the deck, and the ship shook slightly. Then, there was the sound of people running.
"If we have guns, shall we surrender?" Old Fifth said nervously.”
The boss raised his eyebrows and said," Don't worry. Let's take a look at the situation. It doesn't look like the coast guard."”
The footsteps on the deck could no longer be heard. Everyone was guessing when the porthole was suddenly pulled open and a person jumped out.
The person was wearing a black hood that revealed his mouth and eyes, the standard for bank robberies. He also wore a single-eye infrared night vision device outside the hood, and he was wearing a special forces combat uniform with camouflage patterns. Wearing all kinds of equipment, he held the gun and somersaulted forward. The muzzle was already aimed at the boss wearing the black mask.
"Don't move." It was a woman's voice.
After she landed, she slowly stood up. The muzzle was still pointed at her boss, and her other hand reached for the other pistol at her waist.
The tall and thin old man grabbed the harpoon with both hands and stabbed it at her from behind.
With a loud bang, the female special forces soldier pulled out her gun and shot the old man in the right shoulder. In the enclosed environment, the gunshot made everyone's eardrums buzz. They did not expect the sound of a real gun being fired to be so loud. The recoil from the single-handed shot made the female special forces soldier take half a step back. The old man who was shot fell to the ground with his right shoulder tilted, and the harpoon fell to the ground.
She held a gun with a silencer in her other hand and pointed it at Boss. After shooting the old man, she aimed her other gun at Old Ruan.
"Stand with them." She said to Old Ruan,"Drag the people on the ground over as well."”He pointed his pistol in the direction.
Old Ruan walked over to the old man. The old man was trembling in pain as he covered his right shoulder with his left hand. He did not dare to pull him up.
The soldier pointed his gun at Old Ruan and shouted,"Quick, I'll count to three." 1!……”
Old Ruan had no choice but to drag the old man to the other two.
She pointed the gun with a silencer at them and put the other gun back in place. With a swoosh, she pulled out a dagger from her left leg and retreated to Fang Xiaogang's side.
The dagger was very sharp. It cut through the hemp rope that bound Fang Xiaogang's hands with two slashes. Then, she handed the dagger to Fang Xiaogang.
He took the dagger, removed the tape from his mouth, thanked her, and went to cut the hemp rope on Shirley's hand.
Shirley took off the tape from her mouth and closed her clothes. Then, she smiled at Xiao Gang.
"You can still laugh?" Fang Xiaogang couldn't help but say.
"Danger shows one's heart." Xue Li said.
"Shirley, bring him up to our ship first.”the female special forces soldier said.
"Wait a minute, I'll get my phone back." Shirley walked over to the leader of the kidnappers wearing a black mask and reached out for the phone.
Boss took her phone out of his pocket and returned it to her.
When Shirley took the phone, Old Ruan suddenly pounced on her, and her body blocked the bullet.
Cher threw her phone behind her and threw a punch at Old Ruan. Old Ruan didn't expect this little girl to fight with him. He only wanted to get close to her and take her as a hostage. In a hurry, he could only block her while grabbing her fist.
Cher took advantage of the situation and dashed into his chest. She grabbed his shirt with her other hand, pushed him with her shoulder, twisted her waist, and threw Old Ruan to the ground with a beautiful shoulder throw. He lay in front of the special forces soldier.
Xue Li stepped forward and stepped on his crotch. He let out a scream, but Shirley had already stepped over his body, picked up her phone, and left.
"Your skills are really good." Fang Xiaogang nodded.
"Let's go." Xue Li let Fang Xiaogang climb up first.
On the deck, there were two people lying next to the cockpit of the fishing boat. Beside the boat was a tall, multi-story luxury yacht with a black coating. A word was written on the bow of the yacht in silver: Skuld。There was also a man in a special forces uniform on the side of the black yacht, waving at Shirley.
The yacht was taller than the fishing boat. A rope ladder was thrown over, and Fang Xiaogang carefully climbed onto the yacht. This yacht was much bigger and more luxurious than the previous Antars 9. The black-clothed special forces soldier on the yacht brought them to the second floor. When he opened his mouth, he realized that she was also a female soldier.
"Shirley, you guys rest here. There are clothes in the closet.”She brought them to the second floor, which was even more luxurious and beautiful than the JW Hotel. There was a sofa, a bed, a bathroom, a TV, and a panoramic skylight that could see the starry sky. The window was several times larger than the one on Antars 9.
"How do they know you? Who saved us?”Fang Xiaogang asked.
"Go wash up first, we'll talk later." Shirley smiled.”
"Aren't you going to shower together?" He looked at her dirty clothes and body.
"He's watching. Are you afraid that others don't know about our relationship?”She said angrily.
The water in the bathroom was hot and comfortable. Just as she was applying the shampoo, the boat moved and she almost slipped. The yacht started moving. He had not felt it when he was nervous just now, but now that he had relaxed, the cut from his right knee to his thigh hurt badly. With the hot water, a lot of blood flowed down again.
After washing up and coming out with a towel, Shirley handed him a new set of clothes.
"Will I be seen if I change now?”Fang Xiaogang asked.
"Who wants to see you? Change into it."
"Then wouldn't our relationship be exposed again?”
"So be it if you're exposed. You won't lose out.”She said angrily.
Fang Xiaogang had to throw away the towel and put on his clothes first. Then he sat on the sofa and carefully put on his beach shorts, afraid of touching the wound.
"Wait a minute." Shirley picked up the towel and covered his vital parts. She found a first aid kit from somewhere and knelt by the sofa to apply disinfectant on his thigh.
He frowned and inhaled a breath of cold air as he said,"You should go take a shower first. I'll do this myself.”
"Got it. Don't move!" Shirley said as she helped him apply the medicine and bandaged his right leg before going to take a shower.
Fang Xiaogang looked around the room and opened the door to look outside. The yacht was decorated like a villa. It was spacious and had a spiral staircase. However, other than this room, the space downstairs was relatively simple. There were a few guns and combat suits hanging on the wall downstairs, as well as some unknown communication equipment. It was obvious that they were very expensive.
Outside the window, the yacht was cruising at a speed similar to the speed of the Antares9 when it went to the place where the accident happened. He could see the lights of the land in the distance.
Xue Li changed into plain linen clothes and came out, holding Fang Xiaogang's hand as they went downstairs. Two women in special forces uniforms greeted them at the bottom of the stairs and invited them to sit on the sofa on the first floor.
"Mr. Fang, my name is Gus and this is Guna.”One of them shook hands with Fang Xiaogang. The two of them looked exactly the same. They were of European descent, with a little square chin of a Northern European woman. They were fluent in Chinese.
"Thank you very much. May I ask why you came to save us?”He wasn't sure if they could understand him.
Their muscles were thicker than his, and they were more than 1.7 meters tall. It felt like any one of them could beat Fang Xiaogang up. They couldn't tell who was on the boat to save them or who was on the boat to receive them.
Gus said," We work for the same company and received Shirley's distress signal. We happened to be nearby, so of course we rushed over. Our department in the company is specially responsible for dealing with such incidents.”
"So you're the company's security department? Then how did you find us? Did you use your phone to locate us?”he asked.
"Yes, Shirley's special mobile phone has a separate power source for the GPS system, so it can usually be found.”
Fang Xiaogang nodded." Impressive, impressive. What did you do to those people after that?"”
"Let's let them go." Guna spoke. The difference between her and Gus was her voice. Guna's voice was like a man.
"Since the matter is settled, we'll go back." Gus stood up and said. The ship will send you back to the dock of the Great Eastern Sea.”
Fang Xiaogang and Xue Li thanked them again. The ship had indeed begun to slow down and soon reached the dock.
After sending them ashore, the boat turned around and left, and the sisters returned to the cabin.
The Skuld sped up on the surface of the water. When the Gusguna sisters returned to the cabin, a woman in yellow clothes was already sitting on the sofa. It was Director Wang. She was half-sitting and half-lying there, her right elbow resting on the armrest of the sofa. Her index finger gently rubbed her plump lower lip, deep in thought.
"Wang Ma, what's the next arrangement?" the Gus sisters asked in German.”
CEO Wang looked somewhere and shook his head."I didn't expect that the precise calculations would still have to be done by Sister Xuan.”
The two sisters didn't know what was going on. They looked at each other and didn't say anything.
President Wang smiled and said to them,"Let's go to Hong Kong. I've booked a ticket to Frankfurt."”
They finally understood what he meant. They saluted and turned to leave.
On the way back to the hotel, Xue Li supported Fang Xiaogang as they walked slowly. Every time his right leg touched the ground, he would feel a slight pain in the depths of his muscles. This cut was deeper than he had imagined.
"Sigh, blame me for dragging you down when I suddenly wanted to go out to sea.”He apologized to Xue Li.
"It's okay. Don't blame yourself for other people's crimes.”
"What about that borrowed boat? Are you still floating on the sea?" he asked.
"The company will take care of it. We don't have to worry.”she said.
"The company is too powerful. If I were to be fired one day, I wouldn't be able to get used to it.”
Xue Li remained silent. After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked,"By the way, how much money did you transfer to them?”
Fang Xiaogang smiled and said,"Thank goodness they came in time. They were saved without even transferring a single sum."”
"So don't spend money recklessly. Think of a way to save more to prevent yourself from losing your job.”she said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm still very frugal. You should be able to tell. If it were me, I would at most stay in a chain hotel that costs more than 100 yuan when I come to Hainan for business.”he said.
"Yes, I'll think of a way to ask the company for more travel allowance.”she said.
"The company has already given me such a high salary. Forget about the subsidy.”he said.
"Tsk." She clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction and said,"What's the Chinese proverb? It means that when things are good, you have to think about the bad times."”
"Be vigilant in times of peace?"
"Yes! It was to be prepared for danger in times of peace! You have to save more now." Shirley said seriously.
"You seem to have a premonition that I'm about to be fired by the company.”Fang Xiaogang said.
"I didn't say that. I'd better you work in the company for the rest of your life.”she said.
"Then how long are you willing to be my secretary?”he asked.
She smiled and said,"This is not for me to decide."”
"Then how long are you willing to work?" he asked.
She looked at him and smiled, her tone turning gentle.""A long time."
When they returned to the hotel lobby, the waiter asked about the situation with concern. Star hotels wanted to create a feeling that their guests were valued and cared for, even if it was an illusion.
Fang Xiaogang said that he had fallen and injured himself, and went back to his room with Xue Li to rest.
On the balcony, enjoying the warm evening breeze of San Ya, Shirley ordered two cocktails as a bedtime drink. It was a cup of the king of cocktails, the DryVemouthMartini. The triangular cup was filled with yellow wine. After a cocktail, Margarita filled the blue-colored wine with a margarita glass dipped in salt.
"Choose a cup." Xue Li said to him.
"I don't understand." He picked up the triangular cup as he spoke.
She smiled and said,"You made the right choice if you didn't know."”
"Is that so? I just thought that cup was a little strange. It's definitely a little more expensive than mine, so I let you drink it.”he said.
She laughed out loud.
"Drink up and sleep." Xue Li said.
"It's still too early to sleep." Fang Xiaogang said.
"Then what else do you want? You're already injured." she said with a smile.
"I want to hear about your past." He raised his glass and took a sip of wine.
Shirley stopped smiling and carefully walked around the corner of the balcony. After confirming that there were no cameras on the balcony, she went to the room and drew the curtains before sitting back on the balcony.
"Then I'll explain it briefly."
