Chapter 285: Sneaky
At this time, a tall man walked in. I looked up and saw that he was about forty years old, close to 1.90 meters tall, with a tall and thin figure, a high nose, and deep eyes—with the typical handsomeness of a Frenchman.
"This is Second Officer Thom, who is in charge of all the technical aspects of the ship, and he is in charge of the engineers." York hurriedly introduced.
Haysom also took me by the hand and talked to Thom.
The tall Thom looked at me in a friendly manner, exchanged a few pleasantries, and went to work. Although his attitude is still very friendly, I can see something different in his eyes, maybe he has a lot of secrets hidden in his heart.
Suddenly, I remembered what Hayson had just said, that he dared to break with tradition, not to believe in those fallacies, and to take female staff with him every time he sailed—a matter which, though well reasoned, was always inappropriate, and which I could not say.
Such a tradition, which has lasted for thousands of years, often comes to you inadvertently - I suddenly have a sense of foreboding!
Don't worry about it for now...... I just hope to complete this journey as soon as possible, go to that hellish place in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and catch that bastard Qin Lingjin.
After looking around for a while, Haysen instructed York to show me around the ship's recreation and fitness facilities, and then graciously escorted me to the door.
Walking down the stairs, I told York that I didn't need him to take me with me, I wanted to walk around myself and let him go to work first.
"The task given to me by the captain is work! I would be remiss not to show you now......" York said with a laugh.
"Alright then......" I smiled and followed him forward.
York took me to the living quarters, where I had a look at the movie projection, billiards, gym, library, and laundry, and then the mechanical room in the work area...... Everywhere but those boring containers, I looked carefully and remembered the important entrances and exits.
"I was a little sleepy and wanted to go back to my room to rest. Thank you, York...... Oh yes, that second mate, Thom, isn't that your biggest rival? I asked with a smile.
"Brother Qian, you are really a god! Alas...... Don't mention it. York looked frustrated.
Saying goodbye to York, I hurried back to my room.
Lying on the bed, I took out the satellite phone and saw two messages in it.
One was sent by Dr. Liu:
"Brother Gao, everything is going well, right? Hope for revenge. Liu. ”
The other is an unfamiliar number:
"Brother Qian, I'm Han Bing, why don't you say goodbye! What's going on now? Please reply immediately if you receive it. I miss it so much! ”
I quickly replied to Dr. Liu with a few words, explained the general situation, and asked him and Mr. Tang to rest assured and keep in touch.
Opening Han Bing's message, I hesitated, not knowing what to say.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to reply:
"Stinky girl, I'm sorry, I left in too much of a hurry to say goodbye to you. Now everything is fine, rest assured! Don't read it. ”
I sent it out, and within a while, Han Bing immediately replied: Great! Brother Qian, I'm so worried about you! You have to take care and take care of yourself! When you're bored on the boat, just look for me!
I smiled, stupid girl...... I must wish it was coming to me right now.
I looked at the time, and it was half past ten in the morning. I got out of bed, walked to the door, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.
From the current situation, everything is going well, much better than I expected...... However, the experience and lessons of the past tell yourself that the more comfortable you are, the more hidden the crisis, and when you don't know it, the crisis has crept in!
I didn't dare to be careless, and I took a very careful look at all the facilities on the ship...... In the next two days, I will study the overall structure of the ship and some more detailed conditions, just in case.
After the fireworks went out, I felt a little sleepy, so I went back to bed and lay down. However, I couldn't sleep. The sound of the ship breaking through the waves rang in my ears - the low, powerful sound of the engine, repeated back and forth......
After lying down for about half an hour, I couldn't sleep, so I got up.
Walking out of the room, I wanted to see the sea.
In fact, although the facilities on the freighter are not as luxurious as the cruise ship, the scenery of the sea is not inferior. At this time, the crew was all doing their job, there was no one on deck, I was the only passenger, and it felt like the whole ship had been chartered, heading forward, with only towering containers behind it, and everything was quiet.
After standing on the deck for a while, I began to walk along the side of the ship to the bow, climbed the pole steps and leaned on the parapet, grabbing the steel plate next to it, looking out at the deep sea in front of me. Suddenly, I straightened up, stretched out my arms, and felt the sensation of flying on the surface of the sea, when I felt the low rumble of the engines of the oversized freighter suddenly disappear, replaced by the sound of wind and sea blowing across the bow of the ship. I looked up and saw in the distance the lines of airplanes, a clear blue sky, and the occasional white cloud...... Everything was quiet.
The bottomless blue of the sea tempts people to jump in and merge with it, but the waves pushed away by the bow of this big ship remind me that there is a danger of being swallowed up in an instant.
At this time, the sea is completely mine—at this moment, I finally have the most intimate contact with the vast sea in front of me.
I slowly closed my eyes.
The sea breeze is blowing on my face...... My heart was in the sea, and it suddenly opened...... All the hardships and hardships of the past are insignificant in the face of this vast sea!
I opened my eyes and let the waves from the bow of the ship cleave on my head and body...... The taste of the sea, a familiar and unfamiliar taste...... Suddenly, I remembered what Han Bing said: If you can, come to the ship with me and do that classic Titanic action at the bow of the ship...... Alas, Han Bing, Han Bing, what are you doing now? I'm right at the bow of the boat, right where you think I'm imagining......
……
The sea in front of you is endless, and this incomparably deep blue constitutes the most beautiful color of our planet...... I felt like I was at the forefront, riding the waves, circling the planet, rushing to the other side of her!
Suddenly, I saw a tall figure come up from below and go straight to a mechanical room in front of me. I recognized it as the second mate, Tom, the 1.90-meter handsome French guy. His steps are a little sneaky, and he looks around, which is completely out of step with his whole temperament - could it be that he is going to do something bad?
I suddenly remembered that the first time I saw him just now, I always felt a little wrong in that deep eye...... I don't know why, I feel that this person is the most problematic person on the entire ship.
However, something that happened next proved how correct my hunch was.
