Chapter 35: Pirate (Please Collect)

  Although he was in a elegant room, the wooden wall was very thin, and the noise from next door also came over, but it was spoken in dialect, and the language was strange. At first, Huang Li didn't pay attention to it. But he was originally a meticulous person, and when he found that Ah Lai's expression suddenly became tense, occasionally tilting his ear to listen, he also began to pay attention.

  After a while, Huang Li only heard that it was several men discussing something, but he didn't quite understand, so he turned his face aside and asked in a low voice: "A Lai, what are they talking about? Why can't I quite understand?"

  A Lai was startled and covered up the panic in his heart, shaking his head: "No, nothing, I don't understand either."

  Huang Li sneered twice, his eyes becoming sharp and stern. Ah Lai was stared at until he lowered his head in silence. After a while, he raised his head, leaned close to Huang Li's ear and whispered: "It should be the ones who eat sea food, can't afford to provoke them."

  Oh, Huang Li was taken aback for a moment and nodded slightly. Pirates? A legendary profession, unexpectedly encountered here. Never mind, it's none of my business, besides, it's not convenient to ask at this time, there are ears on the other side of the wall, so let's not stir up trouble!

  After dinner, several people walked out of the restaurant and agreed to meet at the dock at 3 pm in the afternoon before saying goodbye.

  Huang Li suddenly had a strange feeling, like a needle poking in his back. He had been through rigorous training since he was young and became a top-notch agent. In that young life, almost every minute and second were spent on the edge of life and death, which cultivated his extremely keen sense of intuition, also known as the sixth sense.

  The sixth sense is a very special feeling that can be divided into two categories: premonition and real feeling. At this time, the Yellow Calendar

  It feels like the latter, which is not a plain and empty feeling, but a real feeling that has been influenced by external forces.

  From a scientific perspective, the cell membrane of human cells has an electric potential difference between the inside and outside, known as "membrane potential". When the cell is excited, the membrane potential changes from resting potential to action potential, resulting in electrical discharge. The source of this bioelectricity is naturally negligible, but for people with particularly sensitive senses, they can rely on their sixth sense to clearly feel the radiation of this bioelectricity.

  Huang Li didn't immediately make a big show of searching for the source of the feeling, but instead slowly and naturally turned around, pretending to be curious and looking around. His eyes scanned the area and quickly locked onto an open window on the second floor of a restaurant. A large man with dark bronze skin and several scars on his face that made him look very fierce was staring at them with lustful eyes.

  That window should be the next room to where they were sitting earlier, that is, the guy who eats seafood as mentioned by Ali. Huang Li frowned, seemingly targeting either Taili or Zhen Niang, just a lecher.

  Damn it, that foreign chick looks really appetizing! Watching the backs of Huang Li and others leaving, the big man at the window felt an itch he couldn't scratch, somewhat helplessly withdrawing his gaze, picking up his wine cup, and downing it in one gulp.

  This great Han is called Hei Lao Wu, who was the leader of a gang operating in the northern coastal areas of Lijin and Zhanhua, and had once been notorious for hijacking the Shuntian Wheel.

  The western coast of the Bohai Sea, centered on the estuary of the Zhangwei River where Hebei and Shandong meet, stretches for hundreds of miles in all directions with shallow sea beaches. The sea floor is silted up with mud and sand, the water is murky yellow, and ships often run aground here. On land, there are intersecting gullies, continuous marshes, dense reeds, and sparse human habitation. This region has been a haven for outlaws and pirates since ancient times, and even in times of peace and prosperity, bandits would often appear; when war or disaster struck, the situation would become even more severe.

  And Shandong province's Lijin and Zhanhua counties were located in this "perpetual era of chaos, bandits everywhere" area. The vast expanse of reeds was the best hiding place for pirates. Among the many pirates active in this area, the most famous one was a man known as "Hei Laowu" (Black Old Five), Wu Gongchen.

  Hei Lao Wu is ruthless and cruel, unpredictable and prone to violence. Wherever he goes, he leaves a trail of destruction, killing and looting without mercy. He has committed countless atrocities and can be said to have a debt of blood that will haunt him for eternity. As soon as Hei Lao Wu sees a beautiful woman, he immediately takes her by force to satisfy his desires. Wherever he goes, he demands that women accompany him. Moreover, he treats women like beasts, showing no regard for anyone, not even sparing the wives and daughters of his own subordinates.

  Wang Lao Hu was a trusted subordinate of Hei Lao Wu, and they were also sworn brothers. One time, Hei Lao Wu invited Wang Lao Hu to a banquet, and Wang brought his young and beautiful concubine along. However, Hei Lao Wu's lecherous eyes landed on her. He and his confidant got Wang drunk, then took advantage of the opportunity when Wang's concubine went out to relieve herself, following her to the toilet and raping her.

  This time, Hei Lao Wu determined to take the action plan of robbing a merchant ship at sea in order to grab money. Before that, they had been secretly plotting for a long time, inquiring about the departure time of the passenger liner from Yantai and studying the specific implementation plan.

  Huang Li did not expect that these people who were going to take the Shun Tian boat would actually be heading towards them, and danger was quietly approaching, while he was rejoicing at being able to get on the boat.

  With a whistle, the Tianyun wheel responded with a horn, and slowly set sail. The waves hit the side of the boat, and the boat swayed slightly, making people feel like they were in a cradle.

  Tai Li and Huang Li entered the cabin, they just chatted for a few sentences, then she went back to her own cabin, or went to entangle with her boyfriend, people in love are like this.

  Shun Tian Lun belongs to British company Taikoo Sugar Refinery, with a tonnage of 1,500 tons, and runs on the Tianjin-Shanghai route, while Yantai is just an intermediate station.

  The sunset sinks to the west, and the night is like a piece of paper soaked in oil, becoming semi-transparent; it has been embracing the sun, unable to distinguish itself from it. Perhaps it was intoxicated by the sun, so the night color after the twilight glow fades also carries a reddish hue.

  Huang Li stood on the deck, admiring the scenery and occasionally glancing at Zhen Niang beside him. His heart had a faint worry, not for himself, but for Zhen Niang. So far, her adaptability might have made some progress, but it was too small, which made Huang Li worry about her and Niu Niu's future life.

  Two people, one on the left and one on the right, held Niu Niu's hands, gazing at the sunset. To outsiders, this was a happy family of three. But who knew that this time, Zhen Niang was dragged here by Huang Li.

  "Is it pretty?" Huang Li smiled and said to Zhen Niang.

  Yeah, Zhen Niang nodded, her eyes somewhat wandering, her hands constantly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, it's unclear whether she truly appreciated the scenery or felt uneasy about the people walking around.

  Hehe, Huang Li smiled helplessly and said: "I've always called you Zhen Niang, but I don't even know your real name?"
