Afternoon.
A coastal city.
After alighting from the plane, Dong Xuebing boarded a long-distance bus and drove towards the coastal port.
Dong Xuebing read the messages but did not receive any replies. He had said that if he could not find his daughter, he would be too ashamed to return home. What he needs to do now is to bring Qu Qianan back safely. Even if it costs him his life, he will not hesitate!
After that, Dong Xuebing started to make calls.
"Hello, Old Qian. I am in C City now. Do you know anyone at the port? No? It's fine. Never mind. "
"Hello, Mr. Mu. Do you know any captains at the port? Oh, it's fine. I am just asking. "
"Brother Zhou, are you familiar with C City's port? I want to take a boat. Do you have any way to get there? Oh, it's fine. I will ask someone else. "
"Hello, Chief Liu. I am Xiao Dong …"
Dong Xuebing made seven to eight calls but got nothing.
But one of Dong Xuebing's former subordinates in Yan Tai County's Public Security Bureau told him to ask Hui Tian Village Station Chief Liu Dahai. Old Liu has a relative there. Dong Xuebing is very familiar with Liu Dahai. Dong Xuebing had saved him before, and they had gone through thick and thin together. That's why Dong Xuebing called Liu Dahai and told him about his boat.
Liu Dahai heard this and asked. "Where are you going?"
"I will take a boat to F State. I don't mind if I take a cargo ship."
"There are no documents. Even if you go there, you …"
"I only want to take a boat to relax and have some fun. I don't want to go on land."
"If that's the case, alright. Since you've asked, I can't refuse. I won't ask any more questions. I do have a relative who is the captain of a cargo ship, but he doesn't go to F State. Let me ask around for you and ask him to help you find someone."
"Alright, thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Wait for my news."
Dong Xuebing has many enemies, but after staying in Fen Zhou City for so many years, he has many friends and finally found a way to get along.
Twenty minutes later, the coach stopped near the port.
Dong Xuebing walked towards the port, but he saw security personnel and security personnel. They are very strict with the people entering the port. Dong Xuebing saw all the people entering the port need an entry pass, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Even someone who wanted to enter the port to take photos was stopped outside. But this is not a problem for Dong Xuebing. He looked around to make sure no one is looking at him and found a place to hide.
Time stood still!
Dong Xuebing swaggered into the port!
Time returned to normal after Feng Yu shouted STOP!
At the same time, Dong Xuebing's phone rang. It was Liu Dahai.
"Chief Dong, I had contacted someone and will give you a location. You can go there and look for someone called Niu Dazhao. He is the captain of a cargo ship that goes to F State and is about to set sail. He is very close to my relative, and there are no problems. But he said you must pass the port's security first. If not, he will not be able to help you."
"I am already at the port."
Liu Dahai thought to himself. If Chief Xiao Dong cannot even enter the port, then he should not be called Chief Xiao Dong. This should be a piece of cake for him.
Actually, Dong Xuebing can use STOP to sneak into a ship. But he thought for a while and decided against it. Firstly, Dong Xuebing does not know when the cargo ship will set sail to F State. Secondly, Dong Xuebing does not have much time left. He only has a few minutes left, and he must use it wisely. Lastly, even if Dong Xuebing sneaked onto a cargo ship, he will be discovered.
Dong Xuebing followed the location given to him by Liu Dahai and found District 3. There was an ocean in the distance, and the sky and sea were not very clean. There was a small cargo ship docked by the shore, and the crew was busy moving the cargo. It seems like the cargo ship is about to set sail.
Dong Xuebing switched off his phone and looked at the people on the ship.
"You are?" A bearded man in his 40s or 50s looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing replied: "You are Captain Niu? I am Xiao Dong. "
Niu Dazhao looked at him. "The person Old Liu introduced?" Niu Dazhao was talking about Old Liu, and it should be Liu Dahai's relative. "How did you enter the port?"
"I walked in."
Niu Dazhao laughed. "Alright. Come on up first!"
Dong Xuebing boarded the ship, and many crew members looked at him.
Niu Dazhao did not say anything and brought Dong Xuebing into the cabin. He pushed open the door and entered a cabin. "Xiao Dong, I heard you want to go out to see the world? You want to relax? "
"Yes." Dong Xuebing replied.
Niu Dazhao shook his head. "I think you should go back now."
Dong Xuebing looked at him and asked: "Why?"
Niu Dazhao sighed. "Young man, going out to sea is not as easy as you think. From your looks, you should not have the relevant documents. If you board this ship, it will be considered illegal immigration. If you don't have the necessary documents, you will not be able to get off the ship. "
"I will not get off the ship, and I will not cause you all any trouble."
"I am not afraid of trouble. In the past, some people in my hometown wanted to go out to sea, and I had brought them out. As long as they stay in the cabin and don't come out, it will be fine. But it is different now. I believe you have heard about the pirates in the F state, right? We are only a small cargo ship, and we cannot afford to hire the military's frigates. If not, we will not even be able to recoup the cost of this trip. Without the frigates, we might be attacked by the pirates anytime. Although the probability is not high, have you considered the risks? "
"It's fine."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Yes. Thank you, Captain Niu."
Niu Dazhao looked at Dong Xuebing and nodded. "Alright. I will not say much. Just make sure you have thought it through. Don't blame me for not reminding you if anything happens."
Pirates?
Dong Xuebing is going after these bastards!
Dong Xuebing expressed that he will bear all the risks.
Niu Dazhao nodded. "It will take a few more days to reach F state. You can stay here for these few days."
This cabin was a simple single room with a bed and a table. Although it could not be compared to the environmental conditions of other ships, for a small cargo ship, this was already good treatment. Niu Dazhao had arranged for Dong Xuebing to stay here because of his old friend. Old Liu had recommended Dong Xuebing, and Niu Dazhao does not want to give Dong Xuebing a bad place. Secondly, Niu Dazhao felt Dong Xuebing's arms and legs are too skinny. If Dong Xuebing was to share a room with the crew, he might not be able to stand it.
"Thank you." Dong Xuebing thanked Niu Dazhao.
Niu Dazhao waved his hand and went out to do his own things.
Dong Xuebing is now an unregistered resident, and it's not convenient for him to go out. He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. All he could think of was his daughter's cute figure.
Half an hour later.
A series of noises could be heard from outside. Soon after, the ship shook slightly and set sail.
Dong Xuebing waited for a while and walked out of the cabin anxiously. The cold sea breeze felt like needles stabbing into his skin. He is surrounded by the ocean, and he can vaguely see the land in the distance. The crew members were busy moving things, collecting ropes, and chatting. Niu Dazhao had gone to the captain's room or somewhere else, as he is not on the deck. Dong Xuebing did not see him.
"Sigh … I hope this voyage will be smooth sailing."
"Before my wife left, she had asked me for a protective talisman. I wonder if it will work."
"These pirates are getting more and more arrogant, and they seem to be targeting our Chinese ships."
"That's right. Old Li was kidnapped by pirates last year, and he had told us about it when he returned. At that time, there were many countries' cargo ships in that area, and Old Li's ship was not far from them. After the pirates rushed over, they didn't even look at the ship. They brushed past us and went around to find our ship. It was as if they were coming for us, and they started shooting at our people! "
"What? Why are they targeting us? "
"It's because we will pay the ransom. Some countries don't even care about ransoms."
"Damn! Are these people addicted to bullying us? "
"That's right. Didn't the news report yesterday? Another Chinese cargo ship was hijacked, and many people died. Those pirates are demanding ransom from us again! "
"We shouldn't have paid them!"
"What about the hostages if they don't pay?"
"Sooner or later, we will kill all these pirates!"
"A warship can't even sink a small pirate boat? But those pirates are vengeful. It's easy to kill one or two of them, but what about in the future? If they encounter a Chinese ship again, they will start a massacre. Just like us. We don't have money to hire a warship. What should we do? "
"Did they not start a massacre? Only six people died this time, right? "
"Sigh … those pirates deserve to die!"
The few crew members were furious when they mentioned pirates. Dong Xuebing's eyes turned cold.
Dong Xuebing's eyes turned cold. The situation is as what everyone said. Their ships had been hijacked by pirates again and again, and they had to compromise again and again. Because they are worried about the safety of the hostages, they had to pay the pirates ransom. This caused these pirates to become more and more unscrupulous. They knew the Chinese will not dare to hurt them, and that's why they became more arrogant. Whenever they see a Chinese ship, they would ignore other countries' ships and attack them. They stole their goods, killed their people, and captured their ships. In the end, they are still waiting for the Chinese to give them the ransom.
What kind of attitude is this?!
