Chapter 465: The Dog-Headed Military Advisor

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

The Military Advisor gave a gloomy laugh: "We can't just lose so many brothers for nothing; make them pay compensation, negotiate."

The captain hesitated, unable to believe it: "They clearly have the upper hand, will they agree to give money?"

The Military Advisor said: "Give it a try, how can we know if we don't try?"

"Fine, we'll do as you say."

The captain ordered a ceasefire, then used a megaphone to call out to the cruise ship, telling them to pay for safety, otherwise they would have to endure another round of fierce attacks.

"Go, bring all the cash and gold bars from the safe." Wang Yong sent people to empty the safe, packed it into bags, and threw them to the Pirates, using money to buy safety.

The Pirate captain was overjoyed and immediately ordered a retreat!

At this moment, the Military Advisor stood up again to object: "We can't retreat. Being able to produce so much money so readily shows there is more Treasure on the ship. Boss, if we retreat now, we will miss out on something better, wealth that we might not be able to earn in a lifetime."

The captain also hesitated upon hearing him say this: "But I have already promised them; going back on one's word is not good, right? If this gets out, how will I continue to operate in these waters?"

A cold, sinister smile appeared on the Military Advisor's face: "Don't worry, our own people won't spread it. If we wipe out everyone on the other side, the dead naturally won't spread it either."

On the cruise ship.

Feeling the ceasefire in the cabin, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Youxuan stroked her belly to comfort it: "Don't be afraid, son, they are setting off firecrackers outside; they are welcoming us to the sea."

The butler, Lao Qi:...

Regarding this kind of optimism and mysterious self-confidence that the Eldest Young Mistress could display at any time, the two were so impressed they were speechless.

On the deck.

Everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief when they were hit by a second, more violent wave of attacks from the Pirates.

Wang Yong was furious.

He had walked the world for so many years, and what he hated most was a lack of integrity and going back on one's word.

Now that the Pirates had taken his money but were still attacking them, Wang Yong ordered them to be hit hard, hit until they were afraid!

The two sides exchanged fire more fiercely, and gradually the firepower on Wang Yong's side weakened.

"Boss, we are out of bullets." A subordinate said with a mournful face.

Wang Yong had never felt fear, but now he was afraid.

"Brothers, if I die, you must protect my sister-in-law well; no matter what, do not let her fall into the hands of the Pirates."

He was going to fight the Pirates to the death.

Wang Yong's subordinates were all loyal; since their boss held a determination to die, they would not live alone either.

If the Pirates launched one more wave of attacks, they would be completely wiped out.

At the critical moment, a megaphone sound suddenly came from afar: "A military exercise is about to take place in these waters; all unrelated vessels must retreat immediately, retreat immediately..."

The Pirate captain's expression changed immediately upon hearing the call, and he ordered the ship to leave at once.

The Military Advisor's expression was even uglier, but he had no choice.

One must retreat from a military exercise zone; there was no room for negotiation.

Having survived the disaster, Wang Yong immediately ordered the first mate to sail the ship in the opposite direction of the Pirates.

The military exercise had saved their lives, but they could not stay in these waters either; staying here was no less dangerous than what the Pirates brought.

The first mate did not execute the order, but instead began to negotiate terms with him: "Captain, you must make that pregnant woman get off the ship immediately, otherwise I will leave."

"What did you say? Say it again?" Wang Yong did not expect that at a time like this, his first mate would actually make such a request.

The first mate then repeated it again: "I said let that pregnant woman get off the ship; this disaster was brought by her, that woman is unlucky..."

"Slap!"

Before he could finish speaking, he received a slap on the face from Wang Yong.

"Shameless, you actually make such a request at a time like this? Get out, get out immediately. See if I can sail the cruise ship without you."

Wang Yong never feared threats from others; he feared no one's threats.

The first mate on the cruise ship was dumbfounded.

The threat didn't work, and the captain didn't agree.

But he didn't want to leave either; where could he go now? A military exercise was imminent, the speedboat on the yacht couldn't be taken by him, and he couldn't leave by rowing a life raft, could he?

With no other choice, he could only lower his head to apologize and retract what he had just said.

Wang Yong didn't pursue the matter further and told him to go sail the yacht quickly so everyone could leave this place.

After a moment's delay, the "warship" that had been calling out arrived nearby.

But it wasn't a warship at all, just a fishing boat.

"Ano Hao? Ano Hao!"

Wang Yong was jumping up and down on the deck in excitement, so excited he didn't know what to do.

"Quick, quick, go notify the sister-in-law."

In his excitement, he didn't forget to have someone notify Shi Youxuan, but after saying it, he realized something was wrong; having others go wouldn't do, he had to go himself.

He instructed his subordinates to keep watch and make sure they didn't pass by.

Then he hurried to the cabin to tell Shi Youxuan the good news.

When the few of them hurried back up to the deck, the crew from the "Ano" Hao had already come up; they were helping to take care of the wounded and treat their wounds.

A beautiful woman stood on the deck, and Shi Youxuan recognized her at a glance—the woman wiping sweat for Sheng Hanyu in the photo!

She suppressed her surging emotions and didn't start by asking for someone, but instead said very politely to the woman: "Thank you for saving us, how should we thank you?"

The woman smiled beautifully and kindly: "Let's talk about thanks later; let's work together to help the wounded."

Minor injuries could be treated with simple bandaging, but the seriously wounded had to be sent to a hospital for treatment, and it was urgent.

There are speedboats on the cruise ship, but there isn't enough manpower, and there is no money left either.

All the money was just given to the Pirates, yet it still didn't buy safety.

The woman introduced herself: "My name is Yafei, and I am the logistics manager on the Ano Hao. If you trust me, I can have our sailors take your people to the hospital on land, and I can also pay the money upfront; you can pay me back later when you have the funds."

This was like sending charcoal in snowy weather; naturally, Wang Yong had no reason to refuse.

In fact, Shi Youxuan also had money, enough to send the wounded to the hospital, but since Yafei offered to lend them the money, she let Wang Yong accept it.

Borrowing implies repayment.

With borrowing and repaying, there would be more contact.

Shi Youxuan invited Yafei to the cabin, wrote out an IOU earnestly, and then handed it to Yafei: "Miss Ya, may I ask you something?"

Yafei smiled brightly: "I know what you want to ask me; you have it posted all over your ship's railings."

"You want to ask me about Yano, right? I came here this time precisely because of Yano's affairs."

Yafei smiled and said to Shi Youxuan: "I don't understand why you would post my brother's photo on the ship's railings; can you tell me why?"

Shi Youxuan did not hide anything; she told Yafei that the person on the ship's railings was her husband, named Sheng Hanyu.

They have a six-year-old daughter, and the son in her belly will be born in four months.

Her husband was lost at sea, and there has been no news of him at all.

This cruise ship belongs to her husband's brother, and they have been drifting at sea for five months just to find him.

Sympathy appeared on Yafei's face, but she shook her head and told Shi Youxuan very firmly: "I sympathize with you, but I must tell you something that will disappoint you: my brother only looks like your husband, but he is not your husband."

"My brother and I grew up in the Small Fishing Village since we were children; he has never been anywhere else, and it is impossible for him to be the person you are looking for."
