Chapter 642: Chen Xiaoyu Lures the Enemy

"Report to the captain, anchor chain recovery is normal!"

"Report to the captain, engine room everything normal, over!"

With a hint of electric static, the walkie-talkie continuously transmitted the reports of Chen Shaolong and Chen Shaohu, the two brothers, indicating that Elegant Maiden No. 1 was ready and could set sail at full speed.

Chen Xiaoyu simply replied: "Received!" He had no intention of setting sail.

Uncle Chen Dingchao had already fainted in the cockpit.

Wu Changsheng, shot in the knee, also fainted in the cockpit, his pants soaked red with blood; I don't know if this guy will kick the bucket from excessive blood loss.

Huang Duoduo looked at Wu Changsheng's wounded leg, brow furrowed: "Can you at least bandage him first?"

"He won't die anytime soon." Chen Xiaoyu gripped a high-voltage electric baton, warily eyeing Huang Duoduo, half-believing, half-doubting: "Are you really a rebellious brat?"

"I really am a rebellious brat."

After saying that, Huang Duoduo frowned again, feeling that something was off, feeling weird, as if someone had put a chamber pot on his head.

"What should we do now?" Chen Xiaoyu asked in a lowered voice.

Huang Duoduo squatted down, set the heavy sniper rifle aside, and carefully examined Wu Changsheng's leg wound: "We really didn't mean to do this; we were born not to be bandits, incapable of killing without blinking."

Worried that if the person died, we couldn't explain to the police.

Huang Duoduo then violently tore Wu Changsheng's shirt into strips and simply bandaged his leg wound.

Everything was done.

Huang Duoduo added: "We need to find a place to hide him." Saying that, he looked around, his gaze landing on a storage cabinet.

Tacitly understanding, Chen Xiaoyu helped open the cabinet.

Together they shoved the unconscious Wu Changsheng into the storage cabinet; Huang Duoduo suddenly pressed the cabinet door shut, worried: "Wait, will this suffocate him?"

"He won't die." Chen Xiaoyu quickly locked the cabinet door: "Now we need to think about how to deal with Xu Jijun."

"He has a gun; he's not easy to deal with."

Huang Duoduo slung the heavy sniper rifle over his shoulder; from head to toe he didn't look like a professional killer, and he himself was well aware of that.

Chen Xiaoyu leaned against the control panel, thinking quickly.

The radar screen's glow reflected on her face.

She appeared especially calm.

She thoughtfully suggested: "Two plans: first, lure Xu Jijun over by saying Wu Changsheng can't control his lower half and insists on dragging me to the rest cabin for actual combat, and you shot him to stop him."

Huang Duoduo slightly frowned: "This isn't deception, it's laying out the facts and telling the truth. The point is, why should we say that I fired the shot?"

"Nonsense, you just fired a shot—how could he not hear? Xu Jijun isn't deaf." Chen Xiaoyu's thoughts were still quite meticulous: "If the cockpit loses control and affects navigation, Xu Jijun will surely come over. I'm lying in ambush here; as soon as he steps through this door, I'll zap him with the electric baton—taking him down will be a piece of cake."

Huang Duoduo asked again: "What if he doesn't come? Then tell me the second plan."

"If he doesn't come, then we'll go hard." Chen Xiaoyu gripped the electric baton: "Take advantage of his unpreparedness and directly suppress him with firepower. You're holding a sniper rifle; it's more than enough to handle his pistol."

"This..."

Huang Duoduo fell silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping the cockpit.

Outside the window, waves rose and fell; in the distance, the engine room's roar faintly echoed. Suddenly recalling Lin Dongfan's admonition: "Do things with your brain; only outsmart, never brute force."

Huang Duoduo decisively made a decision: "We'll go with the first plan, happily decided." He quickly walked to the console, looking at the complex control panel, not knowing which button to press.

He again asked Chen Xiaoyu: "Does the ship have an internal communication system? How do we contact the rest cabin?"

"Just wear it and you can talk."

Chen Xiaoyu handed Huang Duoduo a headset with a microphone, simultaneously pressing a talk button on the control panel.

Huang Duoduo put on the headset.

Taking a deep breath, he composed himself and shouted: "Mr. G, something's happened in the cockpit. Wu Changsheng can't control his lower half and insists on dragging Captain Chen to the rest cabin for an injection. I really couldn't stop him, so I… hastily fired a shot, wounding his dog leg. Now Captain Chen is shaken, and there's no one to steer the ship…"

The other side remained silent for a few seconds.

Just as Huang Duoduo wanted to explain further, the headset transmitted Xu Jijun's calm voice: "Understood, you did the right thing. I have something to attend to; you come over first."

Huang Duoduo was stunned; the other party's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.

He turned to look at Chen Xiaoyu, hand over the microphone, and whispered: "He told me to come over first; what should we do now?"

"Beware of a trap." Chen Xiaoyu furrowed his brow slightly, his voice also low.

Huang Duoduo nodded in agreement, released the microphone, and continued: "Mr. G, there's no one to steer the ship right now. Why don't you come to the cockpit first? This place needs you to take charge."

"It won't make a difference either way." Xu Jijun's tone remained gentle: "I need to look after Jin Ling; I can't leave right now, so you hurry over."

"Oh."

The call ended, and the cockpit fell into dead silence.

Huang Duoduo, however, felt much more at ease, chuckling to Chen Xiaoyu: "He didn't want to come over; I thought he'd seen through our plan and got scared stiff, but it turns out he just wants to look after that woman."

"Xu Jijun is deep and scheming; being careless is a dead end—you must always guard against him." Chen Xiaoyu cautioned prudently.

Huang Duoduo's face, however, clouded with displeasure: "You little miss, how can you curse people like that?"

"Who did I insult?" Chen Xiaoyu looked bewildered.

Huang Duoduo, noncommittal, pointed out: "Just now you said, 'Your mom being careless is a dead end!' Isn't that insulting me? My mom hasn't offended you."

"……!!!"

Chen Xiaoyu, with a black line across his forehead, nearly turned to stone: "Is this normal human communication? Grandma spoke plain human words, why can't I understand?"

Seeing that the other party was genuinely developing negative emotions, which might jeopardize the whole plan.

For the sake of harmony.

Chen Xiaoyu helplessly explained: "I wasn't saying your mom is careless; I said you're careless! Do you understand careless? The 'ma' in careless, the 'bi' in careless."

"You're addicted to insulting, aren't you? Don't I know that your mom's mom is your mom's mom? Your mom's... is your mom's...? You have no quality at all!"

Huang Duoduo gave a white-eyed glare, shouldered the sniper rifle, and turned to walk away.

Chen Xiaoyu this time truly turned to stone, like a bewildered innocent in the wind, standing there, unable to help doubting whether his pronunciation was off.

After Huang Duoduo left.

Chen Xiaoyu then tried testing his accent again: "Your mom's cunt, you numbskull…… Exactly, the pronunciation is completely different, crazy, something wrong with your ears……."

After confirming that his Mandarin indeed had a few flaws, Chen Xiaoyu's mood also improved greatly.

No longer feeling innocent, nor acting foolishly.

She carefully examined the anti-wolf electric baton in her hand, confirmed the charge was sufficient, then hid behind the cockpit door, waiting for Xu Jijun to come over, intending to stun him with a single blow.
