Chapter 3 Chapter Two Turning Enemies into Friends

I heard the conversation between them very clearly, and it is conceivable that the person talking to Zheng Baoyun must be the pilot of the ship. However, after listening to their conversation, another question arose in my mind: Why did Zheng Baoyun go to Manila so quickly?If they were in a hurry, he should have taken the plane, not the boat. It can be seen that he is not thinking that he is in a hurry to reach his destination.What must arrive at the destination as soon as possible is something else, which is on this ship, and it is inconvenient to carry it by plane! I thought of this, but I was still at a loss, but at this moment, there was a sudden "click", and the door with light coming through the crack was suddenly opened!

I also immediately saw that Zheng Baoyun had walked out from the opened door!All of this happened so suddenly that I had no time to avoid it! At that moment, I had no other choice but to stick my back tightly against the bulkhead, hoping that because of the darkness and my closeness to the bulkhead, Zheng Baoyun would not pay attention to me. As soon as Zheng Baoyun came out, he closed the door, which made me feel relieved, because in this way, the cabin was very dark, and the possibility of him finding me was much reduced! I held my breath and didn't dare to move. I saw Zheng Baoyun wearing a nightgown, walking slowly to the Eight Immortals Table, and sat down on the stool next to the Eight Immortals Table.

Although his back was facing me, I kept praying in my heart, hoping that he would leave soon.Because I didn't even dare to breathe out, didn't dare to move, standing like that, even I didn't know how long I could last. And if I move a little, then I will definitely be noticed by him, and my situation will be very bad. In a fit of rage, he may throw me into the sea! But after Zheng Baoyun sat down, he didn't intend to leave at all. He propped his head on his hands and sat motionless.From the way he sat still, it could be seen that he was lost in deep thought. What is he thinking?He's a billionaire, in a world where money can make money.What troubles does he have?

It was said that he would not have any troubles, but in fact, troubles were bothering him deeply, anyone could see this! Time passed slowly, and for a full ten minutes, he was still sitting motionless! He can sit motionless, but I can't hold it anymore, maybe it's because I came to this cabin suddenly from the wind and rain, or maybe it's because I held my breath for too long. I gradually felt itchy in my throat. At the beginning, the itching was bearable, but it got worse, and it was in the throat again, which was beyond my reach.I started to shake my head and neck from side to side, but it didn't help. I put my hand on my throat again, but it got worse.

When I really had no way to bear it, I had no choice but to make a few "clucks" in my throat. I also hoped that the sound of the wind and rain outside would cover up these slight sounds, and I also hoped that the person who was thinking Zheng Baoyun couldn't hear those sounds. However, just when my throat made those few noises, Zheng Baoyun turned around suddenly and fixed his eyes on me! In that situation, I had no choice but to stand still. When I saw Zheng Baoyun's body, I was shocked, and then I heard him suck in a breath. Normally, people would only take such a deep breath when they were extremely terrified, but when Zheng Baoyun saw me, I should be the one who was surprised, why should he be afraid?So I think, he probably didn't expect to see someone suddenly, that's why he was like this.

And Zheng Baoyun's panic continued, he had already stood up, one of his hands was pressed on the Eight Immortals table, his body was shaking! I really can't figure out why Zheng Baoyun was so scared when he saw me. This boat belongs to him. On the sea, his words are equal to the law. In fact, if he calls out, at least two people are Can come to help him in seconds.His situation was so favorable, so why should he be so surprised when he found a shadow? Of course, I didn't raise the question in my heart to him, because I was as surprised as he was in my heart. I'm not a quick-witted person, but in such an embarrassing situation, I don't know what to do?Although it is in the dark, I can never see Zheng Baoyun's face (of course Zheng Baoyun can't see my face), but I can feel that he is staring at me (I believe he can also feel that I am staring at him) ).

The two of us confronted each other like this. I don't know how long it took, but I just felt numbness on my back. I know there is no way to go on like that. I have to break this deadlock, or I can keep him from being furious. Everyone has a sense of intimacy with their native dialect. So I said, "Please forgive me—" But I only said four words, and then stopped.Because as soon as I opened my mouth, I found that my throat was dry due to excessive fear, so the voice I made was very dry and unpleasant, and I couldn't hear what I was saying at all, but I could hear the kind of country It's just the heavy ending of the words.

After I stopped, I was about to swallow a mouthful of saliva and talk about it again.However, before I could speak for the second time, I saw Zheng Baoyun's body softening down suddenly. The way he softened was very strange, as if all the bones in his body suddenly disappeared! The body suddenly went limp like that, the only possibility is that this person has passed out.I also heard him groan at the same time, which made me even more surprised. My panic disappeared because Zheng Baoyun passed out! Zheng Baoyun's sudden fainting was too sudden for me. When I rushed to his side, he bumped into a chair and made a loud bang.

I put my hands under his side and lifted him up.Just then, the hatch was opened. Of course, it was the sound of the chair falling, which alarmed the two people in the cockpit. As soon as the door opened, a person walked out, and the person stepped out of the door and shouted loudly: "Who are you, where are you?" for what?" I turned around and glared at him: "Don't worry about who I am, Zheng Baoyun has passed out, do you have any brandy?" The man was even more panic-stricken: "There is... there is whiskey..." I have already lifted Zheng Baoyun onto the Eight Immortals table, made him lie flat on the table, and said: "Same, turn on the light, bring the wine quickly."

The man frantically turned on the lights, yelled a few times into the cockpit, ran in again, and took out a bottle of whiskey. And in this short half minute, I had already taken the opportunity to look at Zheng Baoyun, yes, the one lying on the table of the Eight Immortals is the vicious Zheng Baoyun who seems to be driving me into the sea. At this time, he still hadn't woken up, and his face was pale. I dare say that I have never seen a living person with such an ugly face. I patted his cheek hard.His head, with my flapping, turned left and right.I uncorked the cork, raised his chin, and poured the whiskey into his mouth.

Zheng Baoyun immediately coughed violently, and his body also twitched with his coughing. A minute later, he sat up, his hands were still on the table, his eyes were wide open, but I still wondered if he could see what was in front of him clearly, because his eyes were so scattered. The expression on his face was extremely horrified. First, his throat made a "cuckoo" sound. Finally, he opened his mouth and spit out a sentence from his mouth. He shouted: "God, He... he can talk, he... walked out!" Not only did I not understand this sentence, but even the person beside me was also puzzled, because after I heard what Zheng Baoyun said, I immediately turned my head to look at that person, and saw that person's face, It was also a blank look. Before I said anything, I heard the man say: "Mr. Zheng, what's wrong with you? Why did you faint?" Zheng Baoyun panted heavily, raised his head, tightly grasped the man's shoulders, and said out of breath, "You, have you ever seen anything?" The man asked back, "What did you see? No, Mr. Zheng, what did you see?" Zheng Baoyun's body trembled again, I wanted to laugh, but I was afraid of angering Zheng Baoyun, because Zheng Baoyun was afraid of being like that, it was just seeing me! At this time, I can be more sure that Zheng Baoyun's nerves are indeed abnormal, at least he is suffering from extreme neurasthenia.And I also felt that I had to speak out, because only by saying that it was me that he had seen just now would allay his fear. So I said: "Mr. Zheng, it was me who was in the dark just now!" Zheng Baoyun didn't seem to know that I was on the side at all, so when I opened my mouth, he was shocked again, and immediately turned around, facing me with his pale face.At first, there was only panic on that face, but gradually, the panic turned into anger. He pointed at me, but after a while, he stopped pointing at me, and clenched his fists tightly, rushing towards me. come over. I am not going to fight back, because I have already seen that his punch, even if it hits me, will not have much strength, but he can get a lot of benefits, let him hit me a few times, not only his anger , can be disappeared, and maybe his fear will also dissipate. Zheng Baoyun rushed in front of me, fists raining down like rain, I just turned my head to avoid his attack on my face, but didn't dodge his fists on my body, he punched me seventeen or eight times, Just stopped, gasping for breath. I smiled at him: "Mr. Zheng, I heard that you have won several doctorate titles. Your knowledge may be very high, but beating people is obviously not your specialty!" Zheng Baoyun was still looking at me fiercely, and I spread my hands.He said calmly, "Mr. Zheng, if we are all knowledgeable people, then the dispute between us should be over." Zheng Baoyun yelled again: "You rascal, get off my boat, I will beat you to death!" He raised his fist again, of course, his fist is absolutely impossible to kill me, I reached out and grabbed his wrist. I have let him punch him seventeen or eight times, but he still doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Although he didn't hurt me, my anger was aroused by him. As soon as I grabbed his wrist, I raised my left hand He got up, and with a "beep", crisp and exquisite, he slapped him on the face! This may be the first time Zheng Baoyun has been slapped in his life, so when I slapped him, loosened my right hand, and pushed him away a few steps, he was completely stunned! He stood there dazedly, looking at me.That palm of mine was really hard, leaving five fingerprints on his pale face. The other person was also petrified and opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.I took another step forward, pointed at Zheng Baoyun's nose and shouted loudly: "I tell you, I must stay on this ship until the wind and rain pass. stuff, I must stay on board!" Zheng Baoyun's face turned livid, his hands were trembling, I only saw his hand suddenly stretched into his pocket, and then his hand stretched out, I could clearly see a small handle in his hand The pistol is aimed at me! I took a sharp breath and looked at the muzzle of the small pistol, which glared at me like a poisonous snake. That was something I didn't expect at all. I stepped back a little, and Zheng Baoyun made a strange sound from his throat, as if he was roaring. I tried my best to calm down: "Zheng Baoyun, you dare not shoot. If you shoot, you cannot escape the punishment of the law!" The strange noise in Zheng Baoyun's throat became worse. I saw his fingers gradually clenched, and my body suddenly squatted down, ready to roll and rush forward. But the movement of my whole body was naturally not as fast as his one finger movement. Just as I squatted down, I saw that he had pulled the trigger back! At that moment, my whole body became stiff, and I squatted on the ground, unable to move.However, no bullets came out of the gun, and I immediately realized that Zheng Baoyun forgot to pull the safety switch! He is obviously not used to using guns, otherwise, he would never have made such a mistake under the current situation, and that is naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. I jumped up and rushed towards him, but I only took one step, Zheng Baoyun hurriedly retreated, his body hit a table of eight immortals, causing him to fall down, I was about to rush forward again , when he snatched the pistol from his hand, he heard a person shout: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Wesley, why are you here?" I heard someone calling me, but I couldn't see who was calling me, because Zheng Baoyun's gun was still pointed at me, so I took a step forward and kicked Zheng Baoyun's right wrist. That kick loosened Zheng Baoyun's fingers, and the gun in his hand slipped two or three yards away. I rushed over and grabbed the gun in my hand, then raised my head and looked forward. The person who called me stood at the door of the cockpit. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a half-bald head. You could tell from his rough hands that he was a mechanic.I think he looks very familiar, but I can't remember where I saw him! The expression on the middle-aged man's face was indescribable, both happy and surprised, he shook his hands: "Don't fight, Mr. Wei, don't fight, this is my captain, Mr. Zheng Baoyun!" I glanced coldly at Zheng Baoyun, only to see that he had already stood up.I said, "I already knew who he was." The middle-aged man wondered: "Really? Then why did you have a conflict? Mr. Zheng was still asking me a few days ago, because he heard that I knew you, and he said that he had a very difficult matter, and he wanted to ask you Come to help and solve it together, why are you fighting?" After hearing what the middle-aged man said, I just felt it was funny: "Is that so? He wants to find me? But I want to get on his boat to shelter from the wind and rain, but he wants to drive me into the sea!" I heard Zheng Baoyun panting, and his voice became very strange: "That's, that's... I didn't know you were Wesley!" The middle-aged man was stunned: "Mr. Zheng, so you don't know who he is? He is Wesley, my cousin Lao Cai, the old housekeeper of their family, so I have met him!" I smiled at him and said, "So you are Lao Cai's cousin!" The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly: "Yes, my surname is Deng, and my mother's cousin is Lao Sanshu's aunt." I couldn't help laughing, what kind of relatives this is, I'm afraid I have to use a computer to figure it out.I said: "That's good. I will go back to see Lao Cai, and I must say that I saw you here." He turned to Zheng Baoyun again: "Mr. Zheng, now that you know each other, you won't drive him into the sea again, will you?" On Zheng Baoyun's face, about five fingerprints from my slap are still there.Before answering that question, he reached out and touched his face before saying, "Of course not, Mr. Wei, I'm sorry." I never imagined that Zheng Baoyun's attitude would become so good in an instant.From the first moment I saw him, he could be said to be a complete madman, until now, he seems to be a highly educated person! I also hurriedly replied: "Where, I harassed you. This is your gun. Fortunately, you forgot to turn on the safety just now!" I returned the gun to him, and he took it with a wry smile: "Mr. Wei, please take a shower first and change into dry clothes. Then, I have something that I would like to ask for your help." Suddenly, I became the guest of honor.And this matter may be related to his secret, so I nodded and said: "Okay, please lead the way." Zheng Baoyun led me through the cockpit and came to his sleeping cabin. As soon as I stepped in, I stayed there for a while. I didn't feel like I was on a boat at all, because the cabin was too spacious. I went into the bathroom attached to his cabin, took a hot bath in it, changed into Zheng Baoyun's silk pajamas, stepped on the thick carpet, and walked out. Zheng Baoyun immediately handed a glass of wine to my hand. Just by smelling the aroma of the wine, one could tell that it was old brandy. His attitude towards me, compared to the time when he was about to drive me into the sea, is naturally not the same. I saw him hold hands and said: "Please sit down, please sit down, Mr. Wei!" I also honestly sat down on a very comfortable sofa, and I raised my feet and put them on another cushion, and then I took a sip of wine: "Mr. Zheng, thank you Your entertainment, being entertained by others, eliminating disasters with others, what is your business, just talk about it!" Zheng Baoyun smiled very embarrassedly, he must not be a very happy person, because I told him to just say it no matter what embarrassing things he has, but he still couldn't say it, he hesitated for a while, and then he spoke In a word: "This matter has something to do with my father." I was taken aback for a moment, was it related to his father?His father is dead, and he is dead, so what unfinished business should he worry about? But although I felt strange in my heart, I didn't ask him.After he said that sentence, he remained silent for a while, and I didn't rush him.Now I am very comfortable, and I will not reach the destination so soon. I have plenty of time, and he likes to haw and haw, so let him go. People who like to haw and haw when they speak have this kind of temper. The more you urge him, the slower he will speak.I looked at him, and saw him gulp down a mouthful of wine, and his face turned a little bloody because of it, and then I heard him say: "My father passed away three years ago." No matter how good my patience is, at this time, I couldn't help but give him a nod: "Mr. Zheng, your father passed away three years ago. The whole world knows about this." Zheng Baoyun smiled wryly and scratched his head: "Yes, I know that. Alas, I really don't know how to say it. I think you can only understand if you go and see for yourself." I couldn't help being stunned: "What do you want me to see?" It was Zheng Baoyun who asked me to take a look, but when I asked him what he wanted me to see, he couldn't answer. He turned his head away and didn't answer my question directly. He said: "Mr. Wei, please promise me that I will take you to see...everything you saw, no matter what the circumstances, you must not tell anyone!" This guy was really unhappy, I gave him a slap in the face: "If you think I'll meet someone and say it, then please don't take me to see it." Zheng Baoyun sighed, and said helplessly, "Okay, please come with me!" With that said, he stood up.He stood up, and of course he wanted to show me what he wanted me to see! However, what he did after he stood up surprised me more than ever.He was originally sitting on a sofa, and when he stood up, he pushed the sofa away first.Then, he lifted the carpet again, uncovering a three-foot-square piece. Then, he walked a few steps away and removed an oil painting on the bulkhead.I saw a button behind the oil painting. He put his hand on the button and pressed it, and at the place where the carpet was uncovered, the deck slid silently to the side, and a hole appeared. All of this was beyond my expectation, because it was very inconsistent with Zheng Baoyun's identity! Why is there such a secret cabin on Zheng Baoyun's ship?What is he using this secret cabin for?It goes without saying that it is an extremely secret thing! But why would he show me something so secret? My heart was full of curiosity, so I stood up immediately, at that moment, Zheng Baoyun's expression showed extreme tension again, his body was trembling, he took two steps forward: "I want you to see , right in this bilge, I'm with you..." However, when he got to this point, he suddenly changed his mind and took two steps back: "No, you'd better go down and watch it yourself, I... I really don't want to watch it anymore." I looked at him, if all of this was a trap to lure me into the hold to harm me, then Zheng Baoyun's "acting skills" can be called the best in the world. Therefore, I don't believe that it was Zheng Baoyun's conspiracy. I'm sure what Zheng Baoyun said is true. He really doesn't want to go into the hold again. The things in the hold must be very scary! When I thought of this, I glanced at the entrance of the cave. It was dark under the entrance of the cave, which made me feel a chill.I asked, "Okay, I'll go down alone." He opened a drawer, took out a key and gave it to me: "Here is the key. After you go down, you must open a door. Please come up immediately after you finish reading. I want to discuss this matter with you." My heart was full of doubts. I took the key, but his hands were cold and trembling. As soon as I took the key, I immediately walked towards the entrance of the cave.There was a ladder leading to the hold, and I went down the ladder. When I was walking down, I could hear Zheng Baoyun's crying, he was crying and murmured: "I don't want to see him again, I really don't want to see him again!" I came to the end of the ladder, and by the light from above, I found the light switch. I turned on the light, and saw a door in front of me, and the door was locked. I immediately inserted the key into the lockhole, turned it around, and with a "slap", the lock was unlocked. I pushed the door and went in, and a musty smell came to my nostrils.
