Dong Biao immediately trotted over and said humbly: "Sir, are you calling me?"

Curry took the cigarette from his mouth and said with a suffocation: "Don't you understand what it means? I want to smoke, but there are no matches."

Dong Biao smiled and took out a match from his pocket and lit a fire for Curry.

Curry lit the fire and couldn't help but look at Dong Biao. The light was not bright. Dong Biao's face was wiped with two handfuls of coal black. Curry didn't see any clues. "Have you noticed anything unusual?" Curry asked casually, both of which was a subconscious question and a intentional act to show the other party that his employer's noble identity.

Dong Biao nodded and replied, "All instruments are displayed normally, and no abnormal data is seen."

Curry was stunned by this kind of answer that was irresponsible, then waved his hand and said, "It's fine if everything is normal, you go back to work!"

When Dong Biao returned to Luo Lie, Curry and four subordinates had already walked out of the engine room.

Luo Lie patted his chest and said, "But I was scared. Brother Biao, you don't carry a gun on your body, and you are so far away from me, how dangerous!"

Dong Biao lit a cigarette and said as if nothing had happened: "They didn't know that we had already boarded the ship and came to search, but were just following the orders of the Hans, so we were not at all dangerous."

Luo Lie said: "That Hans seems to be their head. Brother Biao, if we can capture that Hans alive, we might be able to get the jade seal."

Dong Biao gave Luo Lie a thumbs up and praised: "Heroes see each other."

But after a while, the fire in the boiler became weaker again. This time, Dong Biao did not please him anymore, but wrapped two boilers with Luo Lie and added coal. "Brother Biao, when will we act?" The boiler consumed coal like a glutton, greedy and endless. Luo Lie had long been impatient with this boring coal shoveling exercise.

Dong Biao said: "The crew members who burn boilers on the ship usually change shifts in four hours, and we have only been on duty for an hour. I think we have to hold on for at least three hours before we have a chance."

Luo Lie frowned and said suspiciously: "Why? Why do you have to wait until the next boiler will take over?"

Dong Biao said: "Just because the next boiler crew came to take over, the freighter had entered the night navigation mode. At that time, the speed of the ship would drop to half of the current speed. The slower the boat speed, the more conducive it would be for us to row our lifeboat to escape."

Luo Lie lamented: "Okay, you're right! But you have to wait for three hours. I really don't want to wait anymore. Brother Biao, according to me, we might as well blow up the ship directly!"

Dong Biao replied with a smile: "We worked so hard to get on the boat and survived it until now, but we just bombed the boat. Wouldn't that be a big loss? If we talk about bombing the boat, how good is it to blow it up when we just climbed onto the boat at the harbor? At that time, we bombed the boat. Isn't we sure of escaping?"

Luo Lie said a little unhappy: "Is that jade seal so important?"

Dong Biao stopped the iron shovel, inserted it on the coal pile, leaned on the iron shovel, and said, "Brother Biao does not believe in superstition, but Brother Biao knows how powerful the power of faith is. For those superstitious people, the saying of the dragon vein in the country is the belief in their hearts. If the founding jade seal can be destroyed in front of the world, it will definitely make many superstitious people lose their thoughts and hopes for the Qing Dynasty. Luo Lie, think about it, this will not only help Mr. Sun's career, but also allow our country to shed less blood and die less lives!"

Luo Lie was stunned for a moment and replied, "Okay, I admit that I was convinced by you, so let's continue to burn our boiler."

Diane Ryan obeyed Hans' order and took nearly twenty subordinates to inspect the entire cargo ship, but naturally nothing was found. This result was reported to Hans, but still did not dispel Hans' concerns. "Tonight is crucial. Diane ordered all the employees of the company to cheer up and patrol all night, and could not leave any chance for Wuying."

Diane Ryan was very unhappy and said, "Wuying, Wuying, how can there be no one in this world who doesn't even have a shadow? I have already overturned the cargo ship with my men. Even if there is no place to hide, how can I hide someone?"

Hans sneered, "Dian, I know why you complain. I just hope you can sacrifice a night. If you can spend it safely, then from tomorrow, you can have fun with Curry."

Diane Ryan's mouth twitched for a moment, but then calmed down, "Hans, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Hans sighed and replied, "Whether you understand or don't understand, I want to say, I don't want to deprive you of the right to pursue happiness. I just want everyone to cheer up tonight, and you and Curry are the two most capable employees in the company. I have to rely on you, so I don't want you to affect the overall situation because of other things."

Diane Ryan's lips raised lightly, showing a contemptuous expression to cover up his panic. "Hans, in fact, I think the overall situation is settled, and you are just a mediocre person who disturbs himself."

Hans smiled faintly and said, "I hope your evaluation is correct. Diane, I also hope to prove that my prudence is unnecessary, but I cannot relax with this reason. Perhaps, after sunrise tomorrow, all this will change. I can let go of my prudence and enjoy the sunshine and the charming smile. But not only I can't, none of you can!"

Diane Ryan shrugged her shoulders and smiled and replied, "Hans, you are the head, you have the final say. I promise you that I will follow your instructions tonight, cheer up, and take all the employees to patrol every important place all night."

Hans nodded with relief and sighed: "This ship of opium is as much as 2,000 tons. Based on the market price of opium in the Qing Dynasty, it will reach a value of 120 million silver dollars. If we can get rid of it smoothly, your father, Mr. Bill Lane, will become the richest gentleman in the United States of America, and we will become millionaires and will no longer have to work hard for a livelihood. Diane, how can I take it lightly in the face of such an important matter? Even a 99% sure is not enough!"

Diane Ryan said with a shame, "I understand, Hans, I really understand, I promise you that I will definitely take out 100% of my attention tonight."

Hans said: "I believe you, Diane, you have this ability. As long as you can spend tonight safely, I will definitely reward you, you can do whatever you want. But now, you have to act."

Mobilizing Diane Ryan's enthusiasm, Hans returned to his cabin, gently closed the door, locked it from the inside, then stepped on the bed and knocked on a ventilation board on the top of the cabin, took out a wooden box from the hole. Hans opened the wooden box quietly, but it was empty inside. Hans was not panicked, picked up a teacup on the table, threw away the residual water inside, put it into the wooden box, then closed the wooden box, then took a backpack from the head of the bed, and put it into the backpack.

After tidying up his backpack, Hans dragged out a suitcase from under the bed and opened it. There seemed to be nothing else in it except for a few items to change laundry. But after taking the several items to change laundry, a mezzanine appeared in the suitcase. In the mezzanine, there were twelve flying knives and two knife sets neatly placed. Coincidentally, Hans' way of hiding the knife was exactly the same as Luo Lie, and he tied the knife set to his two forearms.

Although it was midsummer, the night deep in the ocean was quite cool. Hans took a windbreaker from the hanger behind the hatch and put it on his body, then carried a backpack, opened the lock of the hatch door, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Diane Ryan, who was mobilized for enthusiasm, changed into flat-heeled leather shoes and tights, divided the nineteen subordinates into nine groups, and two members of the first eight groups guarded eight important parts on the deck and under the deck. The remaining three were led by her personally and patrolled around along irregular routes.

After one lap, the cargo ship was no different. After two lapes, the whole ship was as quiet as before. After two hours of patrol, everyone, including Diane Ryan, became tired.

This seems to be Hans' miscalculation.

The employees assigned to him by the company have been strictly trained. If the energy and physical strength are just about it, this intensity of patrol lasts all night is not a big deal. However, Hans passed his tension to Diane Ryan, and Diane Ryan unconsciously forcibly brought this tension to the nineteen subordinates. It would be fine if he was really facing the threat of a strong enemy. The problem is that everyone subconsciously does not agree with Hans, so this tension caused by the effect of language stimulation cannot help but disappear in a long period of quiet and steady state, and then it is full of slackness.

Hans, who was hiding in the dark and observing all this silently, couldn't help but smile.

This is not Hans' missed calculation, but his intentional work. With this little manpower alone, Wuying cannot force Wuying out of his hiding place. This can be concluded by simply avoiding multiple inspections. Wuying is much more terrifying than Wuying who appears. Therefore, he must create flaws before he can lead to Wuying's appearance.

As his subordinates became lazy, Diane Ryan could no longer cheer up. As Bill Ryan's daughter, Diane Ryan was not a spoiled girl. Since she was ten years old, she was sent to a special institution to practice killing skills such as fighting firearms and other murders. She has participated in various tasks of the company since she was sixteen. In five years, she has made countless contributions.

But this mission is completely different from the ones that Diane Ryan performed before. Overall, it can be described as weird. In addition to easily taking down the Qing Dynasty envoy in New York half a year ago by pretending to be a policeman, the next time, under Hans' various arrangements, it was like a game with a ghost. Even though he lost the fake jade seal in the Wien Hotel, it still failed to arouse Diane Ryan's vigilance, because after getting on the ship, seeing Hans who was always calm, Diane Ryan had an illusion that he thought that Hans stole the jade seal at the Wien Hotel in order to prove his wisdom.

Diane Ryan, who also felt lazy, finally thought of Curry. If you can't find a way to refresh yourself, that kind of torment is really unbearable.

"You three should be very tired, right?" Diane Ryan, who had a different purpose, took care of his subordinates rarely.

The three men did not understand Diane Ryan's intentions, so they quickly cheered up and replied: "We have no problem, we will definitely complete the task assigned by Miss Diane."

Diane Ryan smiled and said gently and concerned: "It is normal to be tired. Don't talk about you, even me, I feel a little tired. This way, you three change with the brothers on the fixed post and let them wait for me here. I will patrol the cabin under the deck first, and come back in an hour to meet."

Diane Ryan is the boss's daughter, and no one dares to refuse her orders. So the three subordinates went to find colleagues at the fixed post to change jobs, and Diane Ryan slipped into the engine room alone.

Curry, who was guarding the engine compartment, was relatively relaxed. The engine compartment was located at the bottom of the cargo ship, with only one entrance and exit, so guarding the cabin was equivalent to guarding the engine compartment. Curry took two subordinates to sit or lie at the cabin door of the engine compartment, and felt Diane Ryan coming from a distance, and hurriedly stood up. "Ms. Diane? What instructions does Miss Diane have?" Curry pretended to be serious, but the flowers in his heart were already flooding.

Diane Ryan said: "It was Hans's order. He said that he had something to discuss with Curry, so why are he still standing there? Please, Curry."

Curry understood and was overjoyed, but on the surface he was calm and calm, shrugged his shoulders, and then told his two subordinates to cheer up and not let a fly fly into the engine compartment at will. Then he followed the direction Diane Ryan was coming.

Half an hour later, two boiler workers who changed shifts came to the door of the engine room. The two guards who stayed checked the IDs of the boiler crew and put them into the engine room. They didn't know whether they were lucky or unlucky. Before they noticed something strange, they were heavily handed by Dong Biao and Luo Lie, and the fate of the two colleagues in front of them was tied into rice dumplings, blocked their mouths, and threw them into the coal bin.

Luo Lie sighed softly: "Brother Biao, are we a little unkind? After all, these crew members are innocent."

Dong Biao replied: "We are already kind enough and did not directly take their lives. If we fail, the four of them will naturally survive. If we achieve our goal, then the four of them will be less frightened when the cargo ship explodes and sinks to the sea. Besides, everyone on this ship knows that the goods transported are great opium that harms people a lot, but they still have to participate in it. Can they still say they are innocent?"

Dong Biao solved Luo Lie's heart disease in a few words. The two brothers took out the canvas bags containing various short guns and bullets from the coal pile. After being fully armed, they buried the canvas bags in the coal pile again. "There will be guards outside the cabin door. We will decide according to the situation. If there are few people, they will be put down. If there are many people, they will be let go."

There were only two guards at the cabin door. Dong Biao used one look, and the two brothers took action at the same time. Luo Lie shook out a flying knife and stabbed directly into the heart of a guard close to him. Dong Biao slapped the other guard's back neck, and then twisted the guy's head suddenly. With a click, the guy's neck was obviously broken.

"Brother Biao, are we a little impulsive? Shouldn't we leave a living mouth to ask where the cabin where Hans lives?" Luo Lie pulled out the flying knife, wiped the guy's body clean, and put it back into the knife cover.

Dong Biao said: "It's useless to ask. Hans will definitely not stay in the cabin." He dragged the two bodies back to the engine compartment and found a hidden place to hide. Dong Biao continued: "There is only one way to force Hans to show up. He hijacked the cockpit and drove the cargo ship back to the port."

Luo Lie asked: "We are only two of us, hijacking the cockpit. Even if Hans is forced to appear, how should we get the jade seal next?"

Dong Biao replied: "You are in the light and I am in the dark. As long as Hans appears, I can control him. At that time, whether to kill him or the jade seal depends on how he chooses it."

Luo Lie said: "No wonder Wu Houdun said that you were not stealing on the boat but trying to fight for your life. I have learned it."

Dong Biao rolled his eyelids and said, "What? Are you scared?"

Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm not afraid of it, I just feel a little nervous and very exciting."

The two brothers walked out of the engine compartment again and came to the gangway leading to the deck. Dong Biao didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he could only tell Luo Lie that there would inevitably be guards at the exit of the gangway. Luo Lie nodded and pointed to the crew uniform he was wearing. The two brothers understood it. Dong Biao was ahead, and Luo Lie then climbed along the gangway to the exit of the deck.

There were indeed two guards guarding there at the exit. When they heard the noise, they immediately took it out and snatched it. At the same time, they asked, "Who is it?"

Dong Biao responded calmly: "Crew, the crew member, who is the boiler in the engine room, has just changed shifts and comes up to get some air."

At the same time, Curry hummed a song that was inexplicably famous and returned to the door of the engine room. Unexpectedly, the two subordinates disappeared. "James? Don Reed!" Curry shouted twice at the top of his throat, but no one answered. Curry immediately became nervous, put his body on the side of the hatch door, and reached out to pull out the pistol from behind his butt.

The company's rules are so strict that the two of them dared not leave their posts after Curry's special instructions. Even if they urgently need to go to the toilet, they should not leave at the same time. There is only one reasonable reason to explain, James and Don Reed must have been plotted by the enemy.

Curry was shocked and immediately judged that the enemy's target of attacking James and Don Reed must be the engine room. At this moment, Curry couldn't help but re-worship about Hans. As Hans was worried, the enemy was indeed hidden on the ship, and the enemy's purpose was clearly to blow up the engine room.

Admiration is worship, but Curry does not want to be a hero. Without knowing the facts of the enemy, he would never dare to rush into the engine room alone. However, the situation was urgent, Curry could not think about his personal pros and cons, so he fired three shots at the hatch door of the engine room, sending a warning signal to Hans with gunfire.

The gunshots broke through the roar of the engine compartment and reached the deck. Hans, who was hiding in the dark, was suddenly shocked. Just a gunshot, maybe a brother left the fire, but three gunshots must have had something wrong. Hans immediately appeared and quickly arrived at the gangway entrance to the deck, passing by Dong Biaoluo Lie who had just stepped onto the deck.

When Dong Biao heard the gunshots, his heart trembled.

The gunshot meant that an accident occurred. Such an accident was nothing more than the guards discovered the enemy situation. On this ship, he and Luo Lie were the only enemies on the ship. Therefore, Dong Biao judged that it must have been revealed because of the two people killed in the engine room. Dong Biao immediately felt a little regretful, but it only gave up this regret in an instant. Although the engine room was really important to his entire plan, it was already here, and no matter how much regret it was, it would be futile.

Hans and Dong Biaoluo Lie passed by each other, without any suspicion at first, but when half of his body was just down the gangway, he suddenly realized the problem. The two crew members who had just passed by were covered in coal black on their faces and must have just come out of the engine room. The gunshots were under the deck, and although the direction could not be determined immediately, the engine room was so important that they must not be taken lightly.

"Stop! Mr. Crew." Hans retreated to the deck, pulled out his gun from his arms, and pointed at Dong Biao Luo Lie and the other two: "Rise your hands above your head and squat down slowly! Mr. Crew, please cooperate with my instructions and don't force me to shoot." The two guards on the guardrail raised their guns at the same time and pointed them at Dong Biao Luo Lie respectively.

Dong Biao immediately raised his hands and shouted, "Don't shoot! We are just crew members who burn the boiler, we are good people!" Dong Biao told Luo Lie with practical actions that although the situation was critical, it was not advisable to fight back rashly before figuring out the facts of the other party. Luo Lie naturally understood Dong Biao's intention and then raised his hands.

Hans replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, two sirs crew, I certainly won't shoot at will, but you must prove to me that you are really good people."

One of the guards inadvertently exposed Hans' identity, and he said diligently: "Hans, do you want to go up and search for them?"

What Dong Biao and Luo Lie were waiting for was someone to come forward to search. As long as the man approached, Dong Biao and Luo Lie could make a quick move, take down the person who came forward and use this person as a flesh shield. No matter how accurate Hans's marksmanship was, he would definitely lose.

"No, you can't go forward and stay on the spot to watch. As long as these two crew members are a little unsuccessful, they will shoot and kill them immediately." Hans gloomyly rejected the guard's attentiveness and then said to Dong Biaoluo: "Two gentlemen, please hold your heads with both hands and squat down slowly."

As long as you squat down, it will be difficult to do any counterattack. At least the speed will not be as fast as standing. Squatting down and holding your head with both hands is tantamount to completely surrendering, and it can only be turned into fish and slaughtered under the opponent's knife and chopping. But it is not realistic to directly counterattack. There are three people on the other side, while there are only two of them on the side, and the two of them are still facing each other. Although they can tell the other's direction by listening to the sound, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not move.

In a dilemma, Dong Biao called out: "Sir, we are really crew members..." For ordinary opponents, this kind of quibbling procrastination may achieve the desired effect. The opponent is either angry or impatient. As long as there is a slight fluctuation in his emotions, it is a good opportunity for Dong Biao Luo Lie to attack.

Unfortunately, they were facing Hans.

"Shut up! Follow my orders, hold your head in your hands, and squat slowly!" Hans interrupted Dong Biao's tangle and shouted: "I count three times. If I don't follow the instructions, no matter who you are, I will definitely shoot, one, two..."

Dong Biao had no choice but to hold his head with both hands and squat slowly. Luo Lie on the side had no choice but to squat down.

At this moment, a slight sound of breaking through the air came. Hans reacted very quickly, and flew up sideways and barely avoided the hidden weapon that was shooting. However, a guard beside him became a target, suddenly covered his chest, widened his eyes in surprise, and half opened his mouth but before he could make a sound, he fell to the ground.

Dong Biao Luo Lie seized the opportunity and rolled away to both sides at the same time. When he turned over, Dong Biao had already taken it out and snatched it, and fired three shots at Hans. Luo Lie's movements were no less fast than Dong Biao. When Dong Biao's gun fired, he had already taken action with a flying knife. The other guard didn't know what was going on. He felt a chill on his neck and could no longer breathe.

Hans flipped over and avoided the hidden weapon and the bullets shot by Dong Biao. However, in a blink of an eye, the strengths and weaknesses reversed, and he had become a situation of one against two. There was a hidden weapon master who was secretly surging. Hans did not dare to fight, so he turned over and jumped into the mouth of the gangway, and disappeared.

Dong Biao naturally knew the reason why the enemy did not pursue him, so he dragged Luo Lie to a hidden place and shouted loudly: "Mr. Wu, show up!"
To be continued...
