Chapter 32: A Ship Full of Gold Returns

The sea breeze blows against the clouds, setting off undulating waves from the edge of the distant skyline. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The outline of the city not far away has slowly become clear, piercing the steel forest in the sky, making the worry in Li Yan's heart gradually relax.

After the fierce battle that night, according to Ruan Yumei's strategy, Li Yan lied that Lawrence had the flu and needed to recuperate. And the crew members who didn't know each other only had a few polite greetings, and no one thought about him anymore.

"It's finally time to go ashore! It's still a reassuring feeling of being down-to-earth! ”

On deck, the crew had already begun to prepare for the docking. Cables, anchors, gangways, and all kinds of professional facilities are gradually stretched out in the operation of the crew.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here!" Ruan Yumei, who was in a hurry, got out of the cabin, walked quickly to Li Yan's side, and said, "The transportation company has sent a car to the dock, and the warehouse has also been contacted, just wait for us to dock!" ”

"What about the salvage charter company? Has it been communicated? ”

"Well, I've already called their person in charge, saying that they will have to go through an on-site test before they can get the final amount of compensation."

William's gang, in order to rob the gold, demolished a wall in the salvage garage. This loss naturally has to be counted on Li Yan's head.

Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, Li Yan patted the railing and said to Ruan Yumei: "When the people they assessed come, don't worry too much about the specific amount, just give it according to their requirements, I don't want to make any more extraneous branches." ”

"Okay, I got it!"

"Toot ~"

With the sound of the whistle, the salvage ship slowly approached the dock. After the navigator's busyness, it stopped steadily on the shore.

As soon as the transfer of gold, the dismissal of crews, and the appraisers who dealt with the chartering company came ashore, these things were like a tidal wave, drowning Li Yan and Ruan Yumei.

After being busy for a long time without touching the ground, Li Yan was finally able to take a break after reaching a compensation agreement with the chartering company.

Ruan Yumei had already escorted the gold to the treasury with the transportation company. Pulling out her phone, Leah dialed hers.

"Hey, it's me, how's that? Is it still going well? ”

"Well, everything has been counted and put into storage. What about you? Is it over? ”

"I just sent those people away, except for being blackmailed, everything else is fine!"

"Who told you to pretend to be wronged, don't bargain with others, and people are not stupid, if they don't kill you, who will they slaughter!"

"What I call it, let's take it as hush money! Those traces, a discerning person can know at a glance that they have been violently demolished, and those people are experts in this area, and they must have seen it. If you don't give some sweetness, how can you gag their mouths? ”

"Humph! It's just thoughtful! ”

Grinning, Li Yan said: "Okay, you must be tired after being busy for so many days, you should go back and rest early!" I'm going to contact the buyer, and I'll get back to you when there's news. ”

"Well, okay."

Hanging up the phone, Li Yan pulled Sasha over on the side, pinched her little face and said, "Are you tired?" I'm going to run some errands, so if you're tired, go back to the hotel and rest! ”

Shaking his head, Sasha replied, "It's okay, I'm not tired, I want to go with you." ”

The expected answer made Li Yan smile silently. After reaching out to stop a taxi, he pulled Sasha into it.

"Squeak!"

After more than ten minutes of driving, the taxi finally arrived at the purpose of the trip.

"Chinatown?" Sasha looked at the gorgeous torii in front of him and wondered.

"Yes, Chinatown!" Pulling Sasha, Li Yan turned in familiarly, "There are a lot of our Huaxia gadgets here, you can see first, what is in the picture, I will buy it for you when I am done." ”

Nodding obediently, Sasha followed behind Li Yan, curiously looking at the goods in the shops and stalls.

In order to take care of Sasha, Li Yan deliberately slowed down. After walking around for more than ten minutes, I walked under the familiar signboard.

"Jingle Bells"

Pushing the door in, the familiar wind chimes are still pleasant, as if returning to the first day of entering the store, and the memories of the past instantly poured into Li Yan's mind.

"Huh? Li Yan, why are you? Former colleagues quickly recognized him, and greeted him with surprise and a little doubt.

"What, can't I come back yet?"

"How is that possible! It's just that you quit the shop without warning, and we thought something had happened to you! ”

"No, it's just that the deadline for exchange students is approaching, and I am busy writing my thesis, so I can't spare time to go to work, so I quit." made up a reason at random, Li Yan prevaricated.

"Oh, I see! Let's worry about it in vain! ”

After chatting a few words, Li Yan opened his mouth to get to the point: "What about Lin Lao?" Is he in the store? ”

"Yes, he just came to inspect the store today, and now he's in the office."

After inquiring about Lin Shaohua's whereabouts, Li Yan said goodbye to his former colleague and walked towards the office behind the store.

"Dangdang Dang"

"Please come in!" A neutral voice came from the office.

Pushing the door in, Lin Shaohua was looking down at the accounts, his eyes did not leave the documents, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lin Lao, it's me!"

Hearing that it was Li Yan's voice, Lin Shaohua's body was shocking, and he hurriedly raised his head, looking surprised: "It's really you kid!" Why did you remember to come to me? ”

"There's something I want to trouble you!" Before getting down to business, Li Yan first pulled Sasha behind him over and introduced: "Sasha, this is Lin Lao, a senior who takes good care of me. ”

"Hello, I'm Sasha."

"Hello, Lin Shaohua!"

Although Li Yan did not introduce his relationship with Sasha, Lin Shaohua, who has been experienced for a long time, still saw the affection between the two at a glance.

Looking at Li Yan with a playful look in his eyes, Lin Shaohua beckoned the two of them to sit down and asked, "Say, what's the matter with my old man." ”

"Well, I don't know if Lin Lao has heard of the 'Zhongmei' gold rush ship?"

"The 'Sino-American' gold rush ship? Is it that famous shipwreck treasure? ”

"Yes, that's it."

"Well, I've heard of it! It is said that it carried hundreds of gold prospectors back to New York, but did not want to be destroyed by a storm, and sank into the ocean with a large amount of gold. "As an expert in buying and selling cultural relics, Lin Shaohua is naturally aware of this kind of strange things." Why did you suddenly remember to ask this? ”

Looking at the puzzled Lin Shaohua, Li Yan playfully raised the corners of his mouth and said, "If I tell you that I found that batch of gold, do you believe it?" ”

"Hehehe, do you want to make fun of my old man? I'm not ...... confused" Thinking that Li Yan was joking, Lin Shaohua waved his hand with a smile and said. However, Li Yan's calm expression made his heart move, and he couldn't help asking, "What you said is true?" ”

"When have I ever cheated on you?" Tilting his head, Li Yan replied undeniably.

"Did you really find that gold?" However, Lin Shaohua quickly shook his head and denied: "No, I still don't believe it!" For hundreds of years, countless people have spent so much effort to find a treasure that has not been found, how can you find it in such a short time! ”

"Look at these things!" Li Yan took out his mobile phone, called up the album page, and handed it to Lin Shaohua, who was swaying from side to side.

The unsealed gold, the shipwreck parts salvaged from the wreckage, the seabed images sent back by the submersible, and various physical photos made Lin Shaohua's expression more and more amazing.

"These, are they true?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Yan said, "Why am I lying to you, it's no good!" ”

"Whew~ yes, even if you lied to me, it's useless to you kid." Returning Li Yan's mobile phone, Lin Shaohua asked, "Can you tell me, how did you find this shipwreck?" ”

The reason for prevaricating Ruan Yumei was explained to Lin Shaohua again, and after listening to it, the latter smiled and said: "So, can you find this batch of gold, or the clues you got from me?" ”

"Well, yes, so to speak." Li Yan, who didn't expect this relationship, scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, my old man won't be forceful and take a piece of the pie from you! This is your chance, and it is also the result of your hard work, and it is all the harvest you deserve! Waving his hand, Li Shaohua said: "Don't talk about this, you came to me, shouldn't you share this news with my old man?" Tell me, what the hell do you want to do with me? ”
