583: Chapter 51: Willing for You 583: Chapter 51: Willing for You “Could you…
could you stop eating?”
Flying Eagle looked at Lizi.
Honestly, he admired this petite girl immensely, and even more so, her bag—it seemed like a bottomless pit that could hold so many snacks.
“Because being held hostage by you is really boring,” Lizi said frankly.
“Aren’t you scared at all?” Flying Eagle was stunned for a while before instinctively asking.
Lizi blinked and said, “You’re not really going to hurt me, are you?
You’re using the back of that blade, it’s not sharp at all, so why should I be afraid?”
Flying Eagle chuckled and let go of Lizi, then looked around at the surroundings.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already reached the engine room at the bottom of the ship’s cabin.
Flying Eagle shook his head and looked at Lizi, “Sigh, young lady, it’s a shame you’re too young, not my type, otherwise I might chase you.”
“But I don’t like the older man type,” Lizi replied.
“I’m…
I’m only twenty-seven!!” Flying Eagle protested.
Lizi blinked again, “But didn’t the United Nations announce earlier that this age is already considered middle-aged?”
“I’m not arguing with you!” Flying Eagle glared fiercely at Lizi and then suddenly pushed her and said, “You can leave!
I’m safe anyway!
I’m passionate, at least!”
With that, Flying Eagle flipped over and jumped down from the iron mesh passage, agilely landing on another iron mesh passage below.
“You’re not holding me hostage anymore?” Lizi leaned over to look down.
“You should drink more milk!” Flying Eagle waved flamboyantly and, with a flourish of his hand, revealed a true-taste strawberry-flavored lollipop with an expression of pride, “You should eat less of this stuff, it stunts your growth!
Maybe I’ll hold you hostage again when you grow up!”
“When…” Lizi was stunned and instinctively rummaged through her bag hanging on her body, quickly moving through it, “Give it back!”
Flying Eagle burst into laughter, unwrapped the lollipop, and popped it into his mouth, making a funny face before bolting away.
Cool as ever.
However, at this moment, Lizi lowered her head, her hair spreading slightly with no wind, a chill slowly enveloping her body, “That was supposed to be for last…
I never wanted to eat it…
Damn it!!
Go die, go die!!”
Above Flying Eagle’s head, a massive cubic ice block measuring 1m x 1m x 1m appeared out of thin air!
Having just tasted the candy, Flying Eagle pondered how to escape, feeling something amiss, suddenly shivering and glancing around in confusion, and finally looking up.
“Holy crap!!
This defies science!!!”
The gigantic ice block came crashing down toward Flying Eagle!
This was when the solid foundation of the Gentleman on the beam’s years of training truly shone!
Flying Eagle didn’t hesitate, jumping down from the iron mesh passage again purely based on instinct!
Bang—!!
The massive ice block directly shattered the iron mesh passage and continued its crashing descent!
This time, Flying Eagle couldn’t land gracefully, crashing hard onto the floor, severely injuring his left leg, and triggering a previously injured area, instinctively letting out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered!
The gigantic ice block descended upon him!
Flying Eagle didn’t even have time to feel despair, instinctively closing his eyes…
still defying science!!!
But he didn’t feel that immense pain, just a chill so intense he felt he might freeze to death—he was soaked to the skin!
The ice block vanished, replaced by icy cold water on the ground.
Soaked by the icy water, Flying Eagle’s entire body trembled, curling up in response, too cold to utter a word!
“Lizi!!
Lizi!!!”
Above, the voices of the crowd echoed from the iron mesh passage, “What happened!
The loud noise just now…
Lizi!!”
“Sister Ren, I’m here!” Lizi waved and greeted.
Officer Ma, Ren Ziling, and others hurriedly entered the narrow passage, quickly reaching Lizi’s side, and instinctively looked down…
seeing Flying Eagle trembling on the ground.
“What…
what happened?” Ren Ziling asked in shock.
Lizi’s eyes welled up with tears, “I don’t know, this guy just pushed me, then jumped down.
Then the passage collapsed, and he fell down.”
“But…
but why is there so much water?” Officer Ma asked curiously.
Lizi suddenly shed a couple of tears and threw herself into Ren Ziling’s arms, sobbing, “Sister Ren!
I was so scared!!
I was afraid I wouldn’t see you!
Boohoohoo…”
“There, there, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Ren Ziling forted Lizi by patting her back…
weren’t you acting all carefree just now?
“Yes, it’s okay!
Don’t be afraid, Lizi!” Officer Ma nodded and then ordered, “You guys get down there, cuff this guy with every handcuff and anything you can find!
I want him hung on the deck railing to dry like salted fish!!”
When several police officers climbed down, they were extra cautious, but seeing Flying Eagle nearly frozen stiff, he had no resistance, easily capturing this Gentleman on the beam.
“Dry…
dry anything is fine…
can you…
first, give me a cup of…
hot, hot water…”
“Ignore him, take him away!”
It was a thrilling escape, not only rescuing the hostage but capturing Flying Eagle again, making Officer Ma feel ecstatic!
Yet no one noticed the abundant cold water seeped through the gaps between boards, gradually descending and moistening the wiring connections hidden beneath the floor.
The Baiyu Cruise, with a sailing history of thirty years and nearing retirement, had most of its parts already aged, not to mention these old-fashioned cable connectors…
…
…
“Old Ma!”
From a distance, Ren Ziling could already see Ali, and beside Ali were Mu Enli and Mu Qinghai.
The father and son were silent, seemingly burdened with heavy thoughts.
Officer Ma gave a thumbs up to Ali from afar…
finding the old captain so quickly, his ability is incredible!
“We’re done here too.” Officer Ma proudly showed off his results, then pulled Ali aside, “What’s going on with Mu Enli?
Can I continue to ask him some questions now?”
Ali shook his head and said, “Old Ma, this matter is concluded for now.
After you go back, arrest him, and I’ll take over from there.”
“What…
what happened?”
Ali just shook his head and softly said, “Just consider it a special arrangement.”
Officer Ma frowned, but eventually sighed…
too many things were involved, and he was powerless.
Moreover, facing Ali, he had no way, if it were someone else, he might still push back a bit.
“Alright, I believe you must have your reasons.” Ma Houde finally sighed.
At that moment, there was suddenly a slight tremor on the ship…
followed by a faint sound!
“What kind of trouble is this again?!”
“It seems like…
it came from the engine room!” Mu Qinghai frowned at this moment, subconsciously looking at his father, Mu Enli.
“It is indeed the engine room!” Mu Enli’s expression was solemn.
…
The engine room was already crowded with people, a large number of repair workers and crew members were swiftly carrying buckets, some had even connected the high-pressure hoses.
Mu Enli pushed through the crowd and loudly asked, “What happened?”
“No idea!
The cooling system suddenly exploded, and there’s a fire inside, we can’t assess the damage properly!
Captain…
the boiler temperature is rising insanely!
What should we do!!”
“Have the boilers been shut down?” Mu Enli calmly asked.
“No, not yet!
Right away!!
Someone, quickly shut it down!!”
“It’s too late to shut it down now.”
Mu Enli quickly assessed the situation, then ran down the stairs, “All repair workers follow me!
The rest stay here to fight the fire, and try to disconnect the cables here as much as possible!
Find the deck crew, don’t just stand there, evacuate all the passengers to the rear deck, prepare lifeboats and life jackets!”
Near the fire, the temperature was scorching, Mu Enli swiftly took off his coat, “Give it all you’ve got!”
“Captain, how can we help?” Officer Ma shouted.
“You don’t understand the equipment here!” Mu Enli said in a deep voice, “Help maintain order!
Officer Ma, you fat guy, it’s time to lose some weight!
Run as fast as you can!!
Hurry up!”
“Yes!” Ma Houde instinctively straightened up, almost saluting this old captain…
what the hell, the captain’s demeanor reminded Officer Ma of his superiors back in school!
The officers quickly ran into the ship.
Ali, however, stayed here, continuously monitoring Mu Enli and his son.
But she found that Mu Enli had no intention of escaping amidst the chaos, instead, he was at the forefront, constantly directing everyone’s work.
She saw deep fear and worry on this old man’s face…
a man who seemed so calm in the face of death was now emitting a pelling force amidst fear and struggle.
…
“Find a crowbar!
It’s glowing red from the fire…
Captain, it’s too hot, don’t!”
“Even if you have to pry it open, do it before it explodes!”
Mu Enli directly tore off his clothes, wrapped them around his hands, and grasped the valve…
even through the clothes, black smoke rose!
It was a high temperature that ordinary people dared not touch.
Mu Enli gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, emitting a loud groan of pain.
“Dad…” Mu Qinghai looked on, also gritting his teeth, and resolutely grabbed onto it with both hands, “I’ll help you!!!”
“I’ll help too!!!”
“Captain, I’ll help too!!”
“Count me in!!”
“And me!!”
Watching each crew member rushing to Mu Enli’s side, each gripping the scorching hot valve, Ali finally shelved her decision to keep monitoring him for the time being and joined in the firefighting efforts.
The old captain could make these people willingly endure such unbearable pain, and she understood where his ability to mand Officer Ma came from.
This is…
the prestige accumulated over thirty years.
…
“It’s, it’s…
it’s open!!”
“Don’t get too excited!
Start switching to seawater cooling!
Not a moment to relax!”
Mu Enli’s eyes widened, like an angry lion, “Whoever falls before me gets three months’ wages docked!!”
