As Liu Kangbai fainted, Liu Yun's explosive performance also came to an end on the screen in the hall. The screen turned black again.
However, the hundreds of guests in the venue could not remain quiet. News that the cruise ship had been targeted by a destroyer began to spread in all directions.
At this moment, regardless of whether they were men or women, young or old, they couldn't care less about the wedding. They all ignored the Liu family's security and rushed out of the banquet hall, arriving at the top deck of the cruise ship.
At this moment, the pale sunlight shone on the vast ocean. The cold wind was raging, and the waves were surging.
The Liu family's cruise ship had already slowed down and was moving forward slowly. Behind it, there was indeed a smaller warship following it.
On the silver-grey guided missile destroyer, there was an eye-catching flag that was fluttering in the wind. From afar, it could be seen that it was actually a flag with a skull on it!
Some people might not even see such an ancient flag even once in their lives. However, even if they hadn't seen it before, they knew what it represented — pirates!!!
Pirates had also kept up with the times. They actually came to rob with an advanced guided missile destroyer!
The guests looked at the main cannons, warheads, and various missile launchers on the ship. Most of their faces turned pale, and their legs trembled. If any of the cannons were to hit the ship, a large number of people would die!
What's worse was that their ship was a cruise ship. It didn't have any defensive measures or means of counterattack. What was even more depressing was that!
The freaking ship stopped!!
The guests started fleeing in all directions. The scene was extremely chaotic. Some people even started to consider whether they should run to the lifeboats and escape from the cruise ship.
At this moment, Liu Kangbai, who was saved by his personal doctor, walked out of the cabin and onto the deck. He took a megaphone and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet! Don't panic! "
Liu Kangbai's face turned green. He was extremely furious. This was obviously a trap set up by someone, and it wasn't an ordinary person.
To be able to capture Liu Yun without a sound, arrange everything in such a way that it was impossible to defend against, and even threaten a pirate ship at this moment, this was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, Liu Kangbai was also someone who had experienced many things. After thinking for a long time, he knew that he had to calm down. Otherwise, if he was in a mess, the guests would definitely be running around like headless flies.
As for Anxin, she was pulled to a corner by her father, An Zaihuan. An Zaihuan nervously looked at the destroyer behind them, then at Liu Kangbai. His face was covered in dirt, and he didn't know what to do.
Anxin had already taken off her wedding dress. She put on a coat and walked out of the cabin. She was not nervous at all. She was just curious. How did Yang Cheng bring a warship here? This was too exaggerated!
"Everyone, listen to me! There is no need to be afraid! Even if it was a pirate ship, there was only one! I've already sent someone to contact the Japanese Self-Defense Forces at Ishikari Bay. As soon as they receive the news, they will immediately come to support! We are in their territorial waters, they will definitely come to rescue us! At that time, the pirates will be doomed! "Liu Kangbai shouted.
After hearing Liu Kangbai's words, the guests finally quietened down. They whispered to each other and nodded. They felt that what Liu Kangbai said made sense. Japan couldn't possibly allow pirates to wreak havoc in their territorial waters, right?
At this moment, a male assistant that Liu Kangbai sent to contact the Japanese Self-Defense Forces ran over. Liu Kangbai laughed and said, "Look, everyone, there is a reply so quickly!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Kangbai finished laughing, the man cried and shouted, "Chairman! Chairman! Bad news! I don't know what happened to our ship, but it has already left Ishikari Bay and entered the international waters! The Japanese Self-Defense Forces scanned the area with their radar and said that this place isn't under their jurisdiction! "
"Boom!"
The scene turned chaotic again. The guests were shocked. The glimmer of hope that just rose was shattered again!
According to international law, around 22 kilometers away from the mainland belonged to the non-territorial waters. For an island country like Japan, it was indeed a matter of a blink of an eye for a cruise ship to enter the international waters.
Once it entered the international waters, it would be unclear whether the law was illegal or not.
Liu Kangbai scolded angrily, "Don't they care about humanitarianism?! We've run into pirates! Pirates! There are hundreds of people on our ship under the threat of gunfire!! "
The man said with a crying face, "Chairman, you know that Japan's military is restricted by the US. Without the US's approval, they wouldn't dare to send their troops into the international waters … Plus … Plus, we aren't Japanese, we are all Hua Xia people … Japan asked us to contact the Hua Xia Navy …"
"Son of a b * tch Japanese …" Liu Kangbai cursed. Then, he thought of something and asked, "Where's the captain?! Where's the captain? Why did he drive the ship into the international waters?! "
The male assistant said helplessly, "Chairman … I forgot to tell you. I just received news that the captain and the crew members … are all gone. We can't contact them at all …"
"What?!" Liu Kangbai's legs softened. He only didn't fall down because of the support from the two bodyguards behind him. He said with a trembling voice, "That … that means …"
"Yes, our ship can't move now …" The male assistant's expression was distorted.
Liu Kangbai widened his eyes. He felt the world was spinning around him, and he couldn't say a single word anymore.
As for the other guests, many women started crying and shouting that they didn't want to die after hearing the news. The situation was far more chaotic than one could imagine.
At this moment, the destroyer that had been silent all this while sent a voice signal …
The cruise ship's broadcast system was suddenly switched on automatically. A man's deep voice could be heard. He was speaking in English, but it wasn't very authentic.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Don't feel surprised when you hear this voice. I'm the commander of the missile destroyer Hatakaze behind you. I'm Balbert Hussain Makedon. You can call me Captain Makedon.
I'm solemnly announcing the reason why missiles were aimed at the cruise ship that you're on today. The reason is actually very simple. There's only one reason — the father and son from the Liu family did something that made one of my respected friends feel dissatisfied.
Now, I'll give my friends on the cruise five minutes to make two choices. The first choice, you can think of a way to let Mr. Liu Kangbai from the Liu family leave the cruise ship immediately. That way, the missiles that were aimed at him won't hit the cruise ship.
As for the second choice, you can be brave and accompany Mr. Liu … to die in the sea together …
Oh, right. This is the international waters where tiger sharks frequently appear. That kind of shark only needs two bites to eat an adult. Perhaps you can see it if you have the chance … Hehe … Alright, I've finished my speech. Five minutes, countdown starts now … "
Although Makedon's English wasn't very good, more than half of the people on the cruise could understand him. Many of them revealed a terrified expression after hearing what he said, and stared at Liu Kangbai with hatred in their eyes.
Even the subordinates and bodyguards of the Liu family looked at Liu Kangbai with a strange gaze.
As for those who didn't understand English, once they heard the translation, they started crying and cursing. However, the target of their cursing wasn't Makedon, but Liu Kangbai, who brought them such misfortune!
Liu Kangbai swallowed his saliva. Looking at the strange gazes of the hundreds of people on the deck, he started to feel guilty. He didn't know who Makedon was at all, nor did he know who his friend was. However, it was obvious that everything was targeted at the Liu father and son!
"Everyone, calm down! They're trying to sow discord between us! I'm the owner of this ship! I definitely won't abandon everyone and let everyone fall into danger! You have to believe me! I'll immediately send someone to contact the navy of our Hua Xia! They definitely won't dare to launch missiles! They're just scaring us! "Liu Kangbai shouted loudly.
However, the guests on the deck obviously didn't trust him. In fact, the ruthlessness in their eyes became more and more obvious.
At this moment, Anxin, who had been staying in the corner silently, cleared her throat and suddenly said loudly, "It's not about whether you'll abandon us or not. It's about how we should treat you … Should we all die for you, or should you sacrifice yourself for us all to live?"
Liu Kangbai's nerves tightened. He turned around and pointed at Anxin, scolding, "Stupid girl! How can you talk to your elders like this?! An Zaihuan! Take care of your daughter! We're going to be in-laws! How can you speak so coldly?! "
Unfortunately, at this time, An Zaihuan had already understood the reality of the situation. Although he wanted to marry into the Liu Clan, he was about to lose his life. How could he care about these things?
Therefore, when he heard Liu Kangbai talking to him, An Zaihuan immediately turned his head away, closed his eyes, and pretended that he didn't hear anything!
Liu Kangbai's heart turned cold. He knew that the situation was urgent, so he hurriedly ordered the bodyguards beside him, "Quickly command all the staff to hide in the lower floors of the ship. It'll be safer there for now. We'll wait for the rescue army to arrive!"
However, after he finished speaking, the bodyguards and the management staff all revealed awkward expressions. They didn't move an inch and didn't react at all, as if they were intentionally unwilling to look at Liu Kangbai.
Liu Kangbai's face was as pale as ash. He finally realized that in the face of life and death, no matter how much money he spent to buy people's hearts, it was all starting to crumble!
Suddenly, Makedon's voice sounded from the broadcast again, "Dear guests, there's only three minutes left. Our missile has already been sent into the launcher. Oh, I forgot to remind you that this is a missile with a nuclear warhead. It's powerful enough to destroy five passenger ships. Therefore, when you bid farewell to this world, you shouldn't feel any pain, hehehe … "
Once this voice was heard, the deck was instantly filled with commotion. Many guests, especially the young and strong men, directly pounced on Liu Kangbai without caring about anything else!
"You old man! Are you trying to get all of us killed?! "
"You've offended your enemy, yet you're here to hold a wedding! Go to hell! "
"Everyone, quickly throw him into the sea!"
"Don't throw him into the sea! What if we throw him into the sea? The people there won't be able to see him! Throw him into the lifeboat and let them see him! "
The group of men shouted one after another, completely ignoring Liu Kangbai's desperate resistance. They lifted Liu Kangbai up and dashed towards the nearest lifeboat!
A few bodyguards and servants of the Liu family didn't stop them, tacitly allowing the guests to do so. When they saw Liu Kangbai shouting 'help' at them, they subconsciously turned their backs. Many of them even tore off their uniforms and mixed into the crowd, afraid that they would be hated by the other guests as well.
Liu Kangbai watched himself being thrown into the lifeboat. When the rope of the lifeboat was lowered, Liu Kangbai felt as if he was being thrown into hell …
"No! Don't leave me behind … "
Finally, Liu Kangbai couldn't care about his face anymore. He cried with tears and snot running down his face. Due to fear, his pants were soaked with his tears …
The lifeboat eventually fell into the sea. Liu Kangbai laid on the bow of the lifeboat and shouted for people to pull him up. However, no one cared about him at all.
Suddenly! The cruise ship let out a "woo woo" sound of steam whistle. It had actually started moving!
"Damn it! Didn't they say that the captain is missing?! "
Liu Kangbai cursed, but his curses were covered by the whistle.
As the cruise ship moved, huge waves were stirred up.
Liu Kangbai's small lifeboat was hit by the waves and was instantly pushed far away from the cruise ship. It was getting harder and harder to reach!
