Chapter 533: Chapter 533 Major Accident

The assistant knew that Song Yunuan was kept in the dark, as young master intended it to be a surprise.

He immediately said, "Actually, the young master had arranged everything long ago. He was at the harbor when you two spoke on the phone, and all the paperwork had been completed. The young master said this trade must succeed, even if we have to make some concessions.

"He mentioned you are his good friend, and Dragon Kingdom is currently experiencing a food shortage. He hopes to smoothly transport the food to Miss Song before winter arrives. Our chairman also agrees with and supports the young master’s decision, so a cargo ship loaded with ten thousand tons of food set off right after your phone call."

The assistant was unaware that Song Yunuan wanted to terminate this barter trade.

Thinking that Song Yunuan was anxious, he told her everything in earnest.

Song Yunuan had no choice but to tell him the truth.

The other party was so scared they almost couldn’t hold the phone receiver.

This had to be reported, and turning back would be best.

The voice of the other party was trembling.

This time, the trade delegation to Dragon Kingdom was twice the size of the last one. For future development, he had even pushed his brother into joining the group.

There was also Kurt Gymm’s cousin, who wanted to visit Dragon Kingdom, so she went along.

And Venom Fang, known as a ruthless person—yet they had always stayed out of each other’s way. Why did Venom Fang have his eyes on the grain this time?

Shocked, he rushed to find the chairman.

Song Yunuan and Gu Huai’an sent Lin Haoze back with a package of meatballs.

Gu Huai’an urged Song Yunuan to focus on her studies, communicating that they were already making efforts to resolve the issue on their side.

They would have an update soon.

The next day at noon, considering the time difference, the assistant must have called Song Yunuan overnight.

The assistant urgently informed Song Yunuan that they had been unable to contact the young master and would only be able to reach him after crossing the Sanjia Strait. However, once they had crossed the Sanjia Strait and sailed for some time, they would be in Venom Fang’s territory.

Kurt Gymm had chosen the nearest port, and the timing was picked because the recent half-month had been tranquil, estimating almost half a month to arrive.

He told Song Yunuan the chairman had tried reaching out to Venom Fang, but there had been no response; they could only wait.

Clutching the phone receiver, Song Yunuan thought to herself that it would take her a week to meet up with them if she went in person.

And that’s if nothing went wrong on the way.

Song Yunuan was in Principal Xu’s office when she took the call.

Such conversations needed to be held with transparency.

Besides, there was nothing to hide; due to the special circumstances, Principal Xu had gradually become involved in many matters.

However, upon hearing the conversation, Principal Xu’s heart also pounded.

This was far too dangerous.

The slightest misstep could lead to a severe accident.

Terminating the trade was the right choice, but now the problem was the other party had already set sail, and 26 hours had passed based on the current time.

Song Yunuan said, "Principal Xu, I need to take a half-month leave."

Principal Xu had only met Song Yunuan a few times and should have felt quite unfamiliar with her, but Principal Xu was very fond of this young girl.

Don’t think that just because she ranked first in the province, she is purely at the top of the province. If you consider it broadly, her achievement is first in the nation.

Think about it, missing full marks by just one point—what else could that be but first in the nation?

Little Nuan’s identity was somewhat special, which was why there was no widespread publicity about it in school. Otherwise, both the students and teachers would have known about her.

Now, in hindsight, it was the right decision.

Upon hearing that Song Yunuan wanted to take leave, Principal Xu knew this girl might be planning to provide support?

That was utterly nonsensical.

You, a young girl, I understand how you feel, but wouldn’t your presence only cause more chaos?

Therefore, Principal Xu became very serious and said to Song Yunuan, "You are young and still a student. You shouldn’t have to take on such burdens. It’s good if you can help, but even if you can’t, you’ve already tried your best. You should focus on your studies now and complete your education. As for the food and Kurt Gymm’s situation, just wait patiently. The negotiations between the parties will proceed. The Gymm family is not insignificant; with their notable strength, they have many connections to mobilize. Venom Fang wouldn’t dare to harm them."

Song Yunuan knew Principal Xu was speaking from his heart, considering her well-being. She thanked him and then said crisply, "I need to apply to the higher authorities to see if I can go out to sea."

This statement shocked Principal Xu, "Go out to sea? You, a young girl who has barely started her freshman year, what are you going to do at sea?

The sea is turbulent and fraught with danger, not a peaceful place at all. No one can control it, nor can anyone find those pirates. Even if they want to, they can’t catch them.

What do you think would happen if you, a young girl, ended up in the hands of these pirates?"

Principal Xu’s expression soured as he slapped the desk, "I’m your principal now, and I will not approve your leave request."

He then emphasized, "Little Nuan, I understand how you feel, but that’s the high seas, unlike land. On land, if you encounter danger, you can run away even if you have no car. But at sea, there’s nowhere to escape to if you’re in danger. Besides, your family would definitely not allow you to go."

Song Yunuan didn’t make a sound, but she was already figuring out how to proceed in her mind.

Gu Huai’an reminded her not to act rashly; Venom Fang wouldn’t recklessly offend our side or the Gymm family, he must have some demands, and perhaps he would contact the Gymm family.

She had been told to wait, as people from our side had already been dispatched to assist.

Seeing that Song Yunuan didn’t respond, Principal Xu breathed a sigh of relief. The girl was talented and always played by the rules, taking leave from the counselor or notifying him every time she went out.

He said, "I know you’re concerned about Kurt Gymm’s safety, but this isn’t something you can handle alone. The authorities will have their arrangements. Just focus on your classes and wait."

Principal Xu would not grant her leave.

Song Yunuan was quite surprised; her initial impression of Principal Xu was only so-so, especially with the malicious woman, Shangguan Yunqi, working as a director here.

She did her job well, and Song Yunuan hadn’t expected Principal Xu to be such a person.

Little did she know that Principal Xu had also received instructions from higher authorities to keep an eye on Song Yunuan at specific times.

It wasn’t about surveilling her, but because the girl was highly capable and had great potential; who knows, she might create some miracle in the future.

She had to be protected at all costs.

There was no way he would grant her this leave.

And Kurt Gymm, how did Venom Fang manage to set his sights on him?

If only they had delayed their departure, how much better it would have been.

Indeed, Hans was filled with deep regret, his eyes bloodshot, as his wife had already been admitted to the hospital.

At that time, he also told his son to make sure everything was set before leaving and to not follow the food because it could be dangerous. Instead, they could take a plane or even ask the Dragon Kingdom for their family’s private jet to fly into their airspace.

That would have been much safer.

Yet the child said that such exchange conditions would definitely not be an issue. He explained that October 1 was the Dragon Kingdom’s celebration day, a day when Beidu would be bustling, with drums and gongs, lanterns and streamers, and he wanted to see it. Hearing this, his younger brother’s family member, Bransia, also wanted to go along. Thus, they departed.

Venom Fang!!!

Damn it, he dared to oppose the Gymm family!
