Watching the stowaway boat disappear into the night, the village chief standing on the dock smiled, and returned to the house with his hands behind his back and humming a traditional Guert song. He cleaned up the things on the table, then took out a bottle of wine from the innermost part of the cupboard, took down one of the dried salted fish hanging under the eaves of the house, put it in a pot and steamed it for a while, spread it with dry sauce and sprinkled with celery leaves, and drank the liquor while eating the fish.

After a sip of strong wine, his body quickly became warm, and the thought that these guests had already boarded the ship could not help but feel a trace of guilt, and of course, more joy.

He knew this boss from three years ago.

Three years ago, his wife had a serious illness and was in dire need of money, so he borrowed money from many people in the local community, but in the end he could not scrape together enough money for the operation. When he was on the verge of giving up in despair, a gentleman appeared to him and not only helped him pay for his wife's medical expenses, but also sponsored an additional fee for him to buy a fishing boat to go to sea. He was very grateful to this gentleman, and although he had never met him, his gratitude was definitely not false. This gentleman saved him from despair at the time and gave him the courage and hope to continue living.

Later, his wife died, and even if there were enough medical expenses, it was useless, and less than half a year after the successful operation, he died in the hospital bed. The doctor told him that although the operation was very successful, the cancer cells spread too quickly, coupled with a series of complex reasons such as old age and physical decline, and finally he could not survive and died of organ failure.

After his wife's death, he was depressed for a while, but fortunately they had a child, and the child became the sustenance and motivation for the rest of his life, and everything he did was to give the child better living conditions. In recent years, the entire federal society has flourished, business has flourished, and all walks of life have been greatly improved. Although he will not make a fortune by fishing, it is enough to support the family, and he has some spare money.

When his child finished his studies last year and didn't know how to choose a job, he approached the middleman who had helped the gentleman and asked if he could let his child work for him. After a few days of waiting, the request was refused, but he was given a completely new option to have his child join the Atlantic Group. That's the Atlantic Group, and no one in the entire Federation knows that the Atlantic Group is an emerging big conglomerate, and even the head of the company, Mr. Albert, has become a member of the Parliament, which shows that the future of the Atlantic Group is limitless.

The child successfully became a member of the Atlantic Group of Companies, the success at work was not mentioned for the time being, and he also gained love, everything seemed to start to develop for the best, and his life became leisurely, of course, a little lonely.

If there are no accidents, he may continue to live an ordinary life, sell everything when he can't do anything, move in with his children, and then watch his children get married and have children, and enjoy the joy of family. I will grow old quietly in the years until I face death, let the dust return to dust, and the earth to the earth. I may not have done anything great or vigorous in my life, but isn't this the life of an ordinary person?

The sudden outbreak of the financial market during this period has brought too many changes to the society of the Federation, and even a fisherman living by the sea knows that as long as he puts money into the financial market, he can definitely make money. Of course, he's just a fisherman, and even if he's told it's a 100 percent profitable deal, he doesn't necessarily know how to do it. It wasn't until one day that his son suggested that he also invest in financial commodities that he learned that this was just the case.

His son works in the Atlantic Group Company, which is currently the most promising consortium, and with more than a year of hard work, he has more or less entered the sight of middle management, and has been reused to a certain extent, and naturally knows some "inside information" that is not clear to outsiders. After two rounds of trading, the kid decided to share his secret with his lonely father, so that he could live in his old age instead of going out to sea all day fishing.

The old man has worked hard all his life, and he should enjoy the rest of his life.

Under the persuasion of his son, he invested all his savings in the financial market, and with the help of his son, he also mortgaged his fishing boat to the bank. The unprecedented prosperity of the financial market has brought quite rich returns, and watching the money in his account increase significantly every day makes him happy to close his mouth, he never knew that there is such an easy job in this world that can make money.

Just as he was about to move out, the financial tsunami struck. All his and his son's savings were swept away by the tide in an instant, and what was even more troublesome was that his son not only mortgaged all his assets to the bank, but also used his position to embezzle some of the company's funds. In fact, this kind of thing has not happened before, large companies have a lot of names in terms of capital flow, and at the same time, they also have a settlement date like banks, and it is only on the settlement date that it is possible to find some problems. The Atlantic Consortium's settlement cycle is quarterly, with settlements every three months. As long as you fill in the gaps before the settlement date, there will be no problem.

The madness of the financial market some time ago was enough for them to safely use this money to make more money for themselves.

In other words, their father and son are now penniless, and they are also suspected of embezzlement, which is a crime!

If it had been in the past, a small amount of misappropriation would not have been noticed, and there would have been plenty of time for them to raise money. The problem was that the Atlantic Consortium was suddenly exposed as a hoax, and the FBI and the Financial Regulatory Commission began to investigate the Atlantic Consortium in full, which was quite troublesome because his son had to fill all the gaps before he could find out that he had embezzled the money. There are many other issues that need to be solved.

In such a desperate time, the gentleman who had contacted him hoped that he would find a boat to carry an important friend out of here, as long as he reached the high seas, and for this gentleman was willing to pay 10,000 federal guilders as a cheikin for his help in matchmaking.

People who eat by the sea by the sea have a little connection with those who eat another bowl of rice at sea, and many times stowaway boats will send those people to places where there are no patrols at the request of customers, and this small fishing village is one of them.

He contacted the stowaway boat and told him about the matter, 10,000 federal guilders was just a drop in the bucket for his current situation, but even so, 10,000 yuan was better than no 10,000 yuan. It's just that he doesn't know that the contagion brought about by the financial frenzy of the whole people is definitely not an ordinary thing that can be compared, and the captain of the stowaway boat owes a sum of money because of this, and he also needs money. After inquiring about the matter, the captain suddenly had an unexpected idea - kidnapping.

Since this gentleman is rich, it must not be too difficult to solve their current predicament, so why not let this rich gentleman continue to use his generous nature and help them put an end to their financial troubles?

They didn't need much, they just wanted a lot of money enough for them to enjoy their lives, and they didn't intend to hurt this gentleman, as long as he cooperated.

At first he disagreed, feeling that it was against his conscience, but under the persuasion of the captain, he gradually wavered in the face of his son's predicament. Yes, just a little money, and it won't ask for a lot, and with this gentleman's wealth and generosity, he must not mind. Maybe some of the methods they use are not so bright, but isn't there no way? Without this money, his life would be very dark, he would become one of the homeless people on the street, and his children could go to jail for embezzling money from the company.

With the gloomy second half of his life on the one hand, and the condemnation of his conscience on the other hand, he was able to live out his old age in peace, and after thinking about it all night, he agreed with the captain's idea, and made a very rudimentary but effective plan.

They intend to pull these people closer to the open sea, and then a "pirate ship" will appear, and they will all become captives. The captain and the others will be "killed" by the cruel pirates because they have no money to redeem themselves, and the rich gentleman will definitely take out the money happily for the sake of his own life. As soon as they had the money, they left at once, and as for the gentleman and his entourage, they could be left to the patrol. They will definitely take care of this rich gentleman, after all, in the Federation, money is the only eternity!

Glancing up at the time, he didn't know how things were going, he frowned and took another sip of wine, according to the time, he should be about to run into the pirate ship now, right?

When he thought of this, he felt a little guilty, others helped him, but he repaid others in this way, which was indeed in conflict with his beliefs and his inner morality.

If it weren't for the way of the world...... Alas!

Durin couldn't have imagined that such a thing would happen by chance, but what he didn't expect was even more that he escaped it.

Immediately after his disappearance, Mr. Sail demanded that the army and navy completely freeze the borders, and now in the waters of the Federation, patrol ships are patrolling almost non-stop, and if they really hit their heads, they can only break their heads and bleed.

It was at this moment that Durin suddenly understood that something was wrong, and he looked up at the light bulb on the roof of the cockpit - light!

Savi was able to see the people on board without having to board the boat, and at night he turned on all the lights, and there was no second meaning other than to tell people that there was a boat here. It is impossible for any stowaway boat to turn on all the lights at night, and even turn off the engines and remain silent when necessary.

Who are they signaling to?

Durin's gaze fell back on the captain, and a smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Captain, can you tell me who you are waiting for?"
