Chapter 611: Chapter 611: The Captain’s Doubts

"No way, we encountered him here?" Everyone was tense, not expecting to meet the big boss at this time. Any conflict could be disastrous, and Gu Fan and his group were unnecessarily involved.

Su Hui looked through the binoculars for a while and noticed there was no movement on the ship’s deck. The cargo ship was silent, like it had been abandoned.

Upon seeing the ship of Lengbing Ocean Shipping Company, Gu Fan immediately thought of its boss, and how his parents were hurt by him. Fury ignited within Gu Fan, as he clenched his fists, wishing he could dash over there immediately.

Lin Xi naturally saw what Gu Fan was thinking, and tried to reason with him: "Gu Fan, I know you want to settle scores with the big boss, but now is not the time. We need to consider everyone’s safety, especially Xiaohu. You promised to get him home."

After hearing this, Gu Fan knew he couldn’t act rashly. The accounts can be settled later. What’s more important is everyone’s safety. So Gu Fan decided to avoid conflict with the big boss and prepared to take a detour.

At this moment, Lu Yi made a guess: "What if the big boss and his crew encountered something like a mysterious mist? What if they suffered heavy casualties?"

Gu Fan’s heart tightened. He knew that the big boss was immortal. Even the dangerous things in the mist would be scared of him. But Leng Le didn’t have that ability. Perhaps Leng Le was in danger.

"Why should I worry about her? Ridiculous." Gu Fan tried hard to get rid of these irritating thoughts, but still, he couldn’t help worrying about his ex-girlfriend.

Although Gu Fan and Leng Le had broken up, Gu Fan was sincere when they were together. He had loved her, so deep inside his heart there was still a bit of affection for Leng Le, or maybe it could be called lingering attachment. Just like many people can’t forget their first love.

But after all, there was only a sliver of feeling left. Gu Fan was merely worried. He didn’t seem anxious or desperate. He never thought about boarding the ship to confirm whether Leng Le was safe. He just hoped that under the protection of the big boss, Leng Le could escape this disaster.

However, Gu Fan noticed one person whose behavior was off - Jie. He looked anxious and uneasy. He seemed to worry about the safety of the people on the cargo ship even more than Gu Fan.

Gu Fan thought of Hai, who also worked for the big boss. Hai was the big boss’s trusted aide. Since the big boss had come to the Triangle Sea Area, Hai would definitely be there as well. Therefore, it was understandable for Jie to worry about Hai.

"Wait a minute?" Gu Fan’s eyebrows furrowed, wondering if Jie already knew that Hai was the big boss’s henchman.

Gu Fan carefully observed Jie’s expression. Similarly, Su Hui also noticed it. It seemed they were on the same page. Gu Fan and Su Hui shared an understanding smile, and then it was Gu Fan who suggested that everyone should board the ship of Lengbing Ocean Company to see if there are any people on board.

Lu Yi was the first to disagree: "What? What if we run into the big boss?"

Xu Haowen was the second to object: "Exactly, we’re trying to avoid him, but you want to go seeking him out? That’s not like you, Gu Fan."

In response, Gu Fan explained: "The big boss has the original map and my father’s notes. I need those to navigate in the Triangle Sea Area. Otherwise, we’ll be like headless flies, aimlessly buzzing around."

Although Gu Fan’s argument made sense, they were still fearful. The thought of the devilish big boss was too intimidating for anyone to challenge.

Gu Fan then added, "I won’t force anyone. Jie, Su Hui and I will go to see what’s happening. You guys can wait for us here." After saying that, Gu Fan glanced at Jie, and asked, "What do you think, Jie?"

Jie didn’t expect Gu Fan to directly invite him to board the ship. He was momentarily stunned, then immediately nodded in agreement.

Lu Yi was dissatisfied: "What does this mean, Gu Fan? Are you underestimating me? Just because I disagree with your plan doesn’t mean I’m a coward. How come you only asked Jie and not me?"

Gu Fan hurriedly explained, "No, don’t overthink it. I just believe three people are enough."

"Is that really the case?" Lu Yi looked suspicious, but Gu Fan didn’t care and didn’t want to explain further. Suddenly Gu Fan felt a chilling gaze from behind. He turned around and found Lin Xi squinting at him with a doubtful expression.

"No way, is she overthinking again?" Gu Fan felt a bit scared. He looked quite embarrassed.

Sure enough, Lin Xi asked with emphasis, "You wanted to go to that ship so badly. Is there someone you particularly care about?"

"No, that’s not the case." Gu Fan didn’t know how to explain and quickly sought help from Su Hui. But Su Hui just enjoyed watching the fun, which gave Gu Fan a headache.

"Sister Su, please..." Gu Fan gestured pleadingly. Su Hui sighed and reluctantly pulled Lin Xi aside to explain.

Lin Xi instantly understood Gu Fan’s intentions and observed Jie’s expressions. And indeed, something was off.

"Wait a minute, Sister Su, you and Gu Fan actually think alike. The two of you really are in sync. No wonder, since you’ve been living under the same roof for so long." Jealousy surged within Lin Xi, and it made Su Hui feel awkward to explain, so she quickly slipped away.

Seeing Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Jie preparing to board the cargo ship, Lin Xi felt it was improper: "Just the three of you is too dangerous. Let me go with you."

"No need, you should stay and protect everyone." After finishing his sentence, Gu Fan took the guns. They had gained enough weapons and bullets from the pirates this time to defend themselves. It made him feel a bit more secure.

Lin Xi was unhappy: "You’re always asking me to stay and protect everyone. What is the point of me coming here then? What is the point of everyone coming here?"

Seeing Lin Xi insisting on going, Gu Ling interjected, "Future sister-in-law, don’t worry. I feel there isn’t much danger. Just listen to my brother and stay here."

Lin Xi muttered under her breath, "If this continues, it’s not yet certain who your future sister-in-law will be!"

Unable to hear clearly, Gu Ling asked in confusion, "What did you say, Sister Lin Xi?"

Lin Xi quickly defended herself, "Nothing, I’m just wishing for their safe return."

The captain had been watching them for a while, not understanding what these people were planning to do. In fact, from Gu Fan’s performance, the captain sensed something wrong. They reacted better than the captain and crew did in the face of crisis. Are they really just ordinary students who haven’t graduated yet?
