Chapter 1480: The Most Lovable People

"Stop!"

The Class Monitor suddenly called a halt; there was a situation.

He ran into the equipment room and quickly announced an emergency order to everyone: a vicious robbery had occurred in the nearby waters, and Pirates had hijacked a cruise ship from Jiangzhou!

The Pirates looted all the valuables on the cruise ship and then greedily drove the ship to a deserted island, holding everyone on board hostage.

The Pirates forced the hostages to call their families and have them prepare ransoms to be wired to an account, or else they should wait for the hostages to be killed.

Among the families of the hijacked hostages, someone had called the police!

This matter was quite complicated; the hijacked hostages were currently not on Jiangzhou territory, so the Jiangzhou police could not handle this alone and had to seek help from the military!

Litian's location was the closest to where the hostages were being held.

The soldiers put on their bulletproof vests, gripped their weapons, and stood ready in full battle array!

They could not complete this task on their own and had to wait for the armed police to arrive so they could set out together.

The high seas.

Another nameless small island.

In a crude house on the island, a dense crowd of people was being held captive.

Armed thugs stood guard around the house, and the sound of stifled sobbing inside was constant.

"Sob, sob, sob, Mommy, I'm scared."

A seven or eight-year-old girl clung tightly to her mother's bosom, trembling with fear, unable to stop herself from crying softly.

Her mother was also very scared and trembling just the same, but she held her daughter tightly in her arms, using her own not-so-sturdy shoulders to give her daughter the greatest sense of security.

"Be good, don't cry. It's okay, we will definitely be okay."

Lu Feifei crouched beside this mother and daughter, holding her head in her hands; she was also very scared, but she still couldn't help but sneak a glance at the pair.

She envied them; she envied that the girl could have a mother who protected and loved her with all her heart.

The girl's crying disturbed the guarding thug, who pointed his gun at the girl and cursed: "Stop crying, damn it, shut up! Your wailing is making my head ache. Are you mourning the dead? Cry again and I'll shoot you."

"No, don't!"

The mother hugged her daughter tightly, begging in terror: "Don't hurt my daughter, please, I beg you, don't hurt her. She's just too scared, she didn't mean to..."

"Scared?"

The armed thug was provoked, glaring as he roared: "I'm a good person, damn it, what are you afraid of? As long as your family members obediently wire the money to the account, we'll release you immediately. If there's no money..."

He scanned the room, his gaze icy: "Then don't blame me for throwing you into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Waa—"

The girl had already stopped crying, but upon hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but wail again: "I don't want to feed the fish, I don't want to be thrown into the sea, sob, sob, sob..."

The girl's mother was also streaming with tears, crying as she begged for mercy: "Please let my daughter go, she's still so small, she's just a child. If one of us must be killed, kill me instead. Please, I beg you, keep my daughter..."

Their family couldn't afford the ransom for two people; even if they went bankrupt, only one person could survive.

The thugs were not moved, but Lu Feifei was.

When she was the little girl's age, she also possessed a mother's complete love, but later... there was no later!

The past was too painful to look back on, but seeing this scene, she was deeply touched.

Just as the thug prepared to pull the mother and daughter apart, Lu Feifei stood out without hesitation and blocked his way: "You cannot hurt them!"

Although she was also very scared, she spoke articulately and with a clear train of thought: "They are hostages, and you are after money. If the hostages' lives are threatened or harmed before the money is in your hands, which family would still dare to send the money over?"

The thug hesitated.

That was right; this woman had spoken to his heart.

They walked on the edge of a knife; the whole point of being Pirates was for the money, so they couldn't act on impulse.

The mother and daughter were temporarily safe, but the thug's gaze began to scan Lu Feifei lecherously!

She was wearing a cruise ship attendant's uniform, which displayed Lu Feifei's exquisite figure very well; the thug couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his eyes became lewd.

It was winter break, and while students from other schools had almost all gone home to reunite with their families, more than half of the students from her school did not go home for the holidays but went out to work to earn living expenses, and Lu Feifei was among them.

She had no home to return to.

A classmate found her on the eve of the break and said the cruise ship was hiring temporary workers for the holidays to serve as attendants.

It included room and board, a monthly salary of eight thousand, plus tips; they asked if she wanted to do it.

Lu Feifei was very cautious; although the salary was tempting, she didn't agree immediately, but first checked the company behind the cruise ship and its qualifications online.

Only after confirming it was a legitimate company's cruise ship and that the attendant work was standard did she feel relieved and agree.

After boarding the ship, she learned the reason for the high salary.

Although the company for this cruise ship was abroad, most of the guests were from Jiangzhou.

In recent years, people from Jiangzhou liked to travel during the Spring Festival, so the ship was packed with tourists during the New Year!

Hiring Jiangzhou locals as attendants was more convenient in terms of both service and language, but Jiangzhou had a custom of reuniting with family during the Spring Festival, so even with a generous salary, very few people would come out.

Thus, the company's human resources department set their sights on the university students at the Normal University—they had good appearances, good temperaments, and understood English, making them the most suitable for holiday attendants.

It was under these circumstances that Lu Feifei's classmate heard the news and found her, hoping she would go along.

Lu Feifei worked on the cruise ship with her classmate; she wouldn't have to worry about where to go for the Spring Festival, and on the ship, she had room, board, a salary, and people to spend the Spring Festival with, so she wouldn't be lonely.

Everything was fine, but she never expected the cruise ship to be hijacked by Pirates.

The thug wore a malicious smile on his face and walked toward her step by step.

Lu Feifei was vigilant: "You, what are you doing?"

She wanted to step back.

Behind her were all hostages; there was simply nowhere to retreat.

"What am I doing? What do you think? You're so pretty, don't waste it; come and play with me..."

"What are you doing?"

This sentence was asked by the thug.

Lu Feifei pulled a fruit knife from her person and pressed it against her own carotid artery!

Her face was pale, but she was not afraid in the slightest: "Get away, if you dare to touch me, I will stab myself to death immediately!"

"Hahahaha..."

The thug laughed for a while and mocked, "Who are you trying to scare? I don't believe you're willing to die. Stab, go ahead and stab."

Lu Feifei said, "You're betting that I don't dare, right? Of course I dare. Anyway, if I die, I won't die in vain. Even if you don't end up buried with me, you won't have it easy. You wicked people will be taken by Heaven!"

After saying this, she closed her eyes, intending to commit suicide.

This was her third time attempting suicide, but it was the only one she did not regret.

"Stop! He was just joking with you, please don't commit suicide!" a woman urged anxiously.

Lu Feifei opened her eyes, and that thug had already been kicked hard several times by that woman.
