84 Captain Dongmei (1/2)

The Captain talked with one of the injured sailors already to learn what happened earlier in the docks so he knew that Dongmei jumped from the pier to catch the ship while being chased by two guys. Something must have happened so he figured out they were the same ones who chased after them now.

He didn't have any plans on asking her or Wuxing to apologize for wounding his sailors as he still wanted to live. The Captain knew Dongmei was untouchable but even Wuxing, just by being her acquaintance, was safe as he was the one protecting her earlier.

Instead of replying to his question, Dongmei changed the subject and asked, ”How many free people can you gather right now?” She wanted to follow Wuxing's advice and keep her guards away from the ship so she didn't mind to borrow some firepower from him.

She knew they would catch up any time soon but she only needed to scare them away and they would leave them alone. There wasn't a question that her father definitely made some arrangements to stop them before reaching the mainland but this much could at least buy time for Wuxing.

The Captain squinted his eyes as he couldn't guess what she planned to do but still said truthfully after a moment of thinking, ”Hmm… I can only gather ten of them as the rest are busy. The ship is not that big and this week we didn't have many Prisoners so I lowered the number.” There were more than a hundred men on the ship but most of them were busy operating it, only a few acting as guard and defenders. The more prisoners there were, the higher the number of guards required.

Dongmei didn't comment on it yet and continued asking, ”How long will that boat take to catch up to us?”

”They are two miles away from us and based on their speed, they should catch up in less than five minutes.” The Captain observed the data on the screen and quickly calculated based on his experience before asking curiously as it seemed Dongmei knew something is about to occur, ”It seems it's a small boat. Does Miss know who they are?”

It was only then that Dongmei nodded and explained while walking towards the exit, ”I can bet they are my guards. Tell your men to gather outside on the deck and call someone to take over your job. I want you to come with me as well.”

Dongmei naturally needed the Captain to lead all of his men else they wouldn't listen to her. She didn't wait for his response, not even letting him disagree to her request as she recalled one last detail, adding it to the list as she turned around at the door frame, ”Also, tell your sailors to bring their rifles with them. I don't mind using power to let them stay away.”

When she was gone, the second brown-haired beauty who was standing on the side just as the Captain told her, finally approached the Captain once again. She had an ugly expression as she looked towards the exit, not liking Dongmei one bit.

As she was already experienced in the craft, she could tell when the girl just finished her sexy time with a man. Looking at Dongmei's still messy hair, even though it looked like Dongmei tried to cover it, she knew that Dongmei wasn't as innocent as she looked based on that. The Captain wouldn't notice that as he was a man but it wasn't her first rodeo.

It was really grinding her gears so she couldn't help but comment quietly, ”Tsk, she really can act high and mighty but she is not better than us, giving herself right away—”

Slap!

The Captain didn't hesitate to give her a quick slap on the face even before she able to finish her comment which made her stagger a bit, covering her face in shock right after.

He immediately followed with a scolding, speaking quietly as he was afraid that Dongmei will hear them by accident, ”Shut your ass up! If you want to die, go ahead, but don't pull me down with you else you will be swimming with the sharks!”

The brown-haired girl obviously didn't know Dongmei's background and he wasn't an exception but he could imagine how enormous it was just based on seeing how many guards on the pier were present when he first picked Dongmei up or even Wuxing's reactions earlier. He definitely didn't want to mess with them as he still wanted to live for some years.

The girl was still dumbfounded but the Captain didn't have the nerve and will to bother with her anymore, pulling out his short-wave radio to inform his men about Dongmei's demands first. He could only follow her orders, hoping to make her satisfied.

While the Captain was worried about Dongmei, she was already walking down the stairs, heading outside. She already knew her way as she remembered it when she was carried here on Wuxing's back so there were no problems with going back.

She earlier wore a pair of sandals that the Captain prepared for her which she found in front of the cabin. They were a little too big for her and lacked good quality but it was always better than nothing. She certainly wasn't so petty to ask them for branded shoes of the right size when she was the one who lost her own.

Finally getting down, Dongmei was hit by a fresh breeze the moment she opened the metal doors. Taking a deep breath, Dongmei looked around but she didn't spot anyone on the deck until she went to the stern of the ship. There were already a few sailors already gathered there.

When they saw her, they naturally made way, fear visible on their faces. They already heard their Captain's message just now, warning them to not even look at her in a wrong way else they will end up killed which made them even more worried than they were before. Everyone knew what happened earlier and some of them were involved already. They didn't know who she is so they could only guess, thinking about the mysterious Miss' background.
