Chapter 19 I Will Pay for Your Life
Out of the island and reef chain of Luzhou Outer Harbor, the sea area suddenly opens up, the sky and the sea are vast, and at night, a new moon reclines on the sea, and the moonlight reflects on the water waves, sparkling and full of silver light.
In the cockpit of the British freighter "Cygnus", the old captain with mottled hair held a wine glass in his hand, looked at the night outside the porthole, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and sighed:
“A beautiful moo

“Yes. So beautiful,So b

The man smiled and was silent, and after a long time, he raised his head and took a long sip of wine, and said, "Yes, A beautiful gi."

“You

“Yes.” The man paused, then added, "O."
ce.”
The word he added was so soft, so light that it was almost inaudible.
There was a knock on the door, and the two paused their conversation, turning their heads to look at the officers who had come in from the door.
"The two gentlemen are so interested." Liu Jin took off his cloak and handed it to his entourage, "Do you mind if I join you?" ”
“Of cou
se. If you have some good
ews .” The captain got up and got half a glass of wine for Liu Jin, and the second half of the sentence seemed to be muttering to himself.
"Young marshal, I don't mean to offend, but can you give me a clear time to dock?" The man handed the wine glass to Liu Jin, and his words were a little eager.
The goods on the "Cygnus" have reached the delivery date, and if they are delayed, Hengguang Far East Group will face high demurrage compensation.
Liu Jin should know why the man was in a hurry, but he seemed to be deliberately going against him, took a sip of wine, and said slowly:
"Actually, I'm here today to inform you that Cygnus is ready to enter the port. But before that, let's talk about some of the undeclared cargo on board, if you can be honest about it, Mr. Li, everything will be easy to deal with. ”
"I told you that the contents of those boxes are just ordinary Western medicines, and I was negligent when I didn't declare it in advance, and I was fined or had to make up some supporting documents.
"If it's really like what you said, those boxes of goods are really ordinary medicines, and there are clear procurement details, why did you hide it and flicker at the beginning?"
"You ask me that?" The man sneered, "Isn't it you who are the culprits who don't care about the lives of patients, wantonly hoarding medicines, and making Luoyang paper expensive and hard to find overnight?" ”
"Mr. Lee, be careful with your words. It is routine for munitions to procure and stock up on medicines for emergencies, so please don't exaggerate or be alarmist. ”
"Am I exaggerating? Do you know how difficult it is to buy medicines now? There is turmoil, war, and evil diseases everywhere, and if I hadn't set out early, I was afraid that I wouldn't have been able to bring these medicines back! ”
"So that's why you didn't declare?" Liu Jin looked at him, letting him tremble with righteous indignation, and his tone was still unhurried, "So, you should also know that this season's purchases are not enough, and you also know that the loss has been declared, I will definitely buy it from you in advance, right?" ”
"Yes." The man sneered, "Don't say that buying at a low price is a sky-high price to buy, and I won't sell a gram!" ”
"What if I want to confiscate it?"
"You dare?!"
"Why wouldn't I?" Liu Jin didn't laugh angrily, and even had some smugness in his leisurely tone, "If you don't declare it, it's smuggling, and the smuggled goods have always been confiscated." ”
"If you dare to touch a gram of medicine in this box, don't blame me for not thinking about compatriot affection, asking for exemption from foreign affairs, and embarrassing each other!"
The man seemed to be unbearable, and took out a crystal box from the inner bag excitedly, with a silver paper enamel medal on the blue velvet, a blue ring, a white Maltese cross, a familiar style, but it was extremely dazzling in Liu Jin's eyes at the moment, and he did not shy away from coldly sarcastic:
"Oh, that's great, another lord."
He said "again", another Lin Wanjing who naturally refers to it, the same medal, Lin Wanjing also has one. The man should have understood what he said, but it was okay for him not to mention Lin Wanjing, and when he said it at the moment, he was even more angry:
"Young Marshal, it's good that you recognize this medal, if Wanjing delays her treatment because of this batch of medicines, neither I nor the British Empire will give up!"
When Liu Jin heard this, his expression turned grim: "What did you say?" ”
"I said, at this moment, your fiancée's life hangs by a thread, waiting for these medicines to save her life! If you delay her treatment because you abuse your private power, I will definitely pay for your life! ”
Silver light swept in front of his eyes, and in the next second, the dark muzzle of the gun was already pointed at the man's eyebrows. But the man was not afraid of him, and his teeth creaked:
"Shoot? If you kill me, you can send the medicine to the hospital to save her, I don't care if I die, otherwise I bet you will regret it for the rest of your life! ”
Seeing the tense posture of the two, the captain finally stopped watching the play, put down the wine glass, got up and took out a stack of telegrams from under the paperweight on the bridge and handed it to Liu Jin:
“Calm dow
,please,
ead them fi
st.”
Liu Jin put away the gun, and his eyes quickly swept over the paper:
The earliest telegram was sent half a month ago, Lin Wanjing was suspected of being infected with influenza and was admitted to the hospital, because of the special symptoms, the attending physician specially sent a report to the Cygnus on the way home, and consulted Li Lingrui remotely, after all, he had first-hand clinical information from the United Kingdom, and the hospital that sent the report was the one that Lin Wanjing named before - St. Michael's Puji Hospital.
"Isolation treatment, intensive care, a drug is hard to find, and three critical illness notices have been issued in half a month, do you know what this means?!" The man took out his notebook and pointed out the medical records and pathological analysis to him one by one, his hands trembling with excitement, and his tone was stern and almost questioning.
The last telegram was just yesterday, informing him that Lin Wanjing's condition had deteriorated again, with a high fever and slow reaction, which was probably her last chance. And then there was no follow-up, but it was precisely because of this that there was no news, but the best news.
That is, yesterday, the lead ship of the offshore patrol formation received dozens of urgent calls from Cygnus to apply for docking, but without exception, he personally rejected them - "I haven't been confirmed for the goods yet" is just a reasonable excuse, Liu Jin doesn't want Li Lingrui to come back from the heart, especially after seeing the carved glass ring on the middle finger of his right hand, the ring, the pattern and color are exactly the same as the glass bracelet that Lin Wanjing smashed in the port alley that day.
"I don't know how much torture she endured, I don't know if she can wait for the medicine to arrive, or even if I can save her, but if you are willing to let go of that stupid pride for a moment, she has a chance to live!"
"Why didn't you say it earlier?!"
"She won't let you know!" The man sighed and handed him a separate letter: "She knows that you are hoarding medicines, and she also knows that as long as you say a word, no medicine is a problem, but she doesn't want you to make it difficult!" ”
Seeing that Liu Jin was silent, the man said again:
"I know you're fighting me, and I know that you won't believe any promises you've made. But I ask you, let me go back and save her, and then how you want to play with me, I will accompany you to the end! ”
Hearing this, Liu Jin suddenly clutched the paper tightly and ordered the adjutant who followed him: "Pass the order, clear the route immediately, and give priority to arranging the British freighter Cygnus to enter the port." ”
After a few roars, the engine finally continued to operate, the whistle echoed on the otherwise silent sea, a bright light pierced the night, and the lead ship not far away also lit up its navigation lights, giving a pilot direction to Cygnus.
"Young marshal, do you want to go back?" The attendant asked.
"No, I'll go with the ship." Liu Jin replied.
Lin Wanjing was critically ill, and he was afraid that he would miss any news if he turned around.
At dawn, "Cygnus" finally arrived at the port after being stranded outside the port for a week, and the landing was so sudden that Hengguang Far East Group did not even have time to arrange for the unloading workers to come to meet it. Li Lingrui got off the boat alone with his suitcase, and after explaining to the attendant to send the other salutes home, he hurriedly got into the car and left. Liu Jin watched Li Lingrui's car leave at the port, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the Lu family's car coming towards him, stopped in front of him, and Lu Canghan opened the car door and signaled him to get in the car.
"Why did you come back early? Heard? ”
As soon as he got into the car, Liu Jin heard Lu Canghan ask him.
"Hmm." He replied, absent-mindedly.
"I received the news for half a month, I thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true."
"You got the news and didn't tell me?!"
"How can I tell you? Such a big scandal made the communications officer telegraph to you, I'm afraid that you haven't seen the telegram yet, and the whole Luzhou City knows about it! ”
"Scandal?" Liu Jin was stunned, "What scandal?" Are we talking about the same thing? ”
There was a moment of silence in the car.
"Wanjing is sick."
"Pei Yue is pregnant."
In unison, followed by a long silence.
Pei Yue is a singer that Liu Jin met by chance at the end of last autumn.
In fact, it is said that the singer has wronged her, her father was a fierce general under Liu Daolin, and her mother is the top girl in the largest nightclub in Luzhou, but it is a pity that her father died violently before admitting the mother and daughter, and her name as the "general's daughter" has become an eternal story.
The first to break the silence was Lu Canghan, but he asked an extremely unnutritious question:
"What now?"
"Pei Yue doesn't care about her, go to the hospital first." Liu Jin said.
The driver was ordered to start the car and leave the port.
"I suggest that you better go and see Pei Yue first, if you don't go, she will make trouble in your office. When the city is full of wind and rain, it will be too late for you to coax her. ”
"Find her and hide it, in short, you must not let Wanjing know about this." Liu Jin was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Do you say that the child is really mine?" Just one time, I was so lucky? ”
"It's hard to say." Lu Canghan replied, and the words changed, "Do you plan to hide her for the rest of your life?" ”
"Let's do it first."
Lu Canghan could hear it, and Liu Jin didn't have the heart to think about it at this moment.
"Have you ever thought that Pei Yue might be waiting for you in the hospital now?" Lu Canghan asked again.
“…… Stop the car. ”
The driver slammed the brakes, and the black sedan came to a halt.
"She knows that Wan Jing is hospitalized?" Liu Jin frowned and looked at Lu Canghan, and then asked a very difficult question: "How do I think that Wanjing is sick, everyone knows about it, except me." ”
And Lu Canghan selectively avoided answering the latter question: "That little aunt and grandmother are not fuel-efficient lamps. In this way, you go home first, anyway, you came back early, and I told the public that you were still at sea and didn't come back. Pei Yue's side, I went to look for it, and I found it, hide it first as you said, and I'll help you take a look at it on Wanjing's side, and I'll tell you when there is a situation. Okay, right? ”
Liu Jin was silent, he wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, if it was really as Lu Canghan expected, Pei Yue was waiting for him in the hospital at the moment, and if he made trouble outside the ward, he was afraid that it would not be good for Lin Wanjing.
Seeing Liu Jin hesitate, Lu Canghan simply made a decision for him and patted the driver's shoulder:
"Turn around and go to the Imperial Kuntai."
