The captain is very clear about his position in this society, which is to make more money.

A salary that is several times higher than my previous salary is indeed a big temptation for many people with single skills.

Moreover, it is not too difficult to get a ship driving license now. In addition, in order to survive, many people can drive a ship, which will inevitably intensify the industry's involution.

It's no wonder that this captain used to engage in the business of helping people illegally cross the border. It was mainly a serious business, which made little money and came slowly.

But doing this kind of illegal business is exactly the opposite.

You can make a lot of money, and it comes quickly. Working for one year may be worth working for four or five years before.

Therefore, many people take risks and join criminal gangs.

I want to earn more money during my lifetime, and then go ashore to do business and live a stable life.

This is actually what most criminals really think.

If they had the ability to make a lot of money, many people would not take this road of no return.

But they have no ability and want to make money quickly. In fact, these people have no other choice but to take risks.

"How many people are there in your family?" Seeing that the captain was willing to chat with him, Gu Chen started to play the emotional card.

In Furong Branch, Zhao Guozhi once taught Gu Chen that when interrogating prisoners or communicating with prisoners, it is often difficult to dig out useful clues from the other party's mouth.

Because at this time, criminals often feel resistant.

But if you change your perspective, start with warmth and play the family card, most people are actually willing to accept it.

Many people spend their whole lives working hard to make money just to make their families live a good life.

Unless they are crazy prisoners, normal people are willing to talk to you about family matters.

"The four elderly people are still alive, and my wife is at home with her two children. The youngest can't walk yet, and the eldest has already started school."

"Then your family is quite happy, and you can be considered the mainstay of the family." Gu Chen also casually agreed.

The captain grinned: "For people like us, whether we can see the sun tomorrow depends on luck."

"My biggest hope is to work for a few more years, then go back to my hometown with my savings, build a new house, and do some small business."

"Don't you want to make a lot of money?" Gu Chen also asked with raised eyebrows.

The captain shook his head: "If I hadn't been fond of gambling, lost all my family's savings, owed a lot of debt, and was blocked at home by creditors with nowhere to escape, I really wouldn't be doing this business."

"This thing is very harmful to people, but I couldn't protect myself at the time, and there was nothing I could do."

"Later, I learned from a friend that Brother Kun needed an experienced captain and the price was very high, so I thought of giving it a try."

"Although I knew what kind of business Brother Kun was in, I had no other choice at the time. I had to bite the bullet and borrow money from Brother Kun."

"What did Brother Kun say?" Gu Chen asked him.

The captain sighed and said helplessly: "Brother Kun was quite cheerful. When he heard that I was a captain, he immediately lent me the money and asked me to pay off the debt first, so as to avoid those creditors from causing trouble to my family."

"Then, Brother Kun told me that I had to sail for him for at least three years to pay off the debt."

"After three years, Brother Kun will give me a lump sum of money. If I continue to work with him, he will give me a higher salary than before."

"And if I choose to go home to retire, he will not stop me and will give me a sum of money, but the premise is that I must keep his secret."

"Three years?" Gu Chen thought about the time and suddenly asked: "So, you have been following Brother Kun for more than two years, and the three-year period is almost over, right?"

"Yes." The captain nodded silently.

At this time, the first mate who was sleeping in the corner suddenly woke up.

Seeing that the captain was still chatting with He Wenjun here, he muttered to himself: "I'm going to use the toilet."

"Go ahead." The captain didn't seem to pay any attention.

Seeing this, Gu Chen asked him: "Is this the first mate the person you brought here?"

"No." The captain shook his head and denied, "This is Brother Kun's own person and a close confidant."

"I'm thinking of sending him here to be my assistant, so that he can help me when I need help."

"But this guy is slow-minded. He hasn't made much progress even after following me for two years. He's also very lazy."

"I really don't know if this guy can shoulder the heavy responsibility after I leave."

"Wait a minute." Just as the captain finished speaking, Gu Chen asked him: "If the first mate is like this, will Brother Kun be happy when you leave?"

"What can we do?" said the captain.

"Do you think Brother Kun will really let you go back?" Gu Chen also hinted wildly.

The captain was stunned and tried to think back for a few seconds. He seemed to feel that what He Wenjun said made sense.

So Gu Chen continued to explain: "Brother Kun is a very suspicious person. To do business with my eldest brother Batu, we need to use hostages as collateral."

"And you have been with Brother Kun for almost three years. If this person from Brother Kun can take over your position and be a good captain, that would be the best."

"But once this person cannot replace you, and you decide to go back, and you have control of all Brother Kun's activities in the past few years, do you think Brother Kun will really let you go back alive?"

Gu Chen's words seemed to be enlightening.

The captain suddenly became enlightened.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense.

After following Ruan Xukun for three years, I have fully grasped Ruan Xukun's specific trends for three years.

Once he is released, can he guarantee that he will never tell anything about what happened here?

Or does Ruan Xukun trust him?

Thinking of this, the captain suddenly became nervous, his eyes filled with fear.

"He will kill you." Gu Chen reminded from the side.

"No, I... I follow Brother Kun and I am loyal. I will not tell anything about what is going on here."

The captain was also panicking at this moment. He had previously thought about finishing these three years of work quickly, then taking the money to go home, live a good life, and no longer have to be so worried.

But the reminder from He Wenjun just now made the captain realize that his status was not worth mentioning in front of people like Ruan Xukun.

He can definitely kill himself and then go to Southeast Asia to recruit a new captain.

And to Ruan Xukun, he is an outsider after all. Would he ignore so many brothers and the safety of his own foundation just for the verbal promise of an outsider?

Obviously not.

In this case, the final result is death.

"So, I will inevitably die after all?" The captain looked at Gu Chen, his eyes full of fear.

Seeing that the captain began to show fear and wavering, this was obviously a result that Gu Chen was happy to see.

After all, dividing the enemy from within is definitely a profitable business.

So Gu Chen pretended to be worried for him, nodded and said, "Maybe when you tell Brother Kun that you are ready to leave, your death will not be far away."

"What should we do?" The captain suddenly became anxious and seemed to be confused for a while.

And this kind of anxiety is exactly what Gu Chen wants to see.

So Gu Chen also pretended to be embarrassed, patted the captain's shoulder with one hand, and expressed his helplessness: "Then I can only wish you good luck, or just keep doing it for Brother Kun. This may be a good choice.

."

"But if you keep working with Brother Kun, it will be difficult for you to see your family."

After thinking about it, Gu Chen quickly asked: "By the way, I don't know yet, how long has it been since you went back to visit your relatives?"

"How long? It has been more than two years. In the past two years, I have only been able to communicate with my family through satellite phones under supervision and ask them how they are doing recently."

After sniffing, the captain also looked aggrieved and said: "Every time my family expects me to go home early, I always lie to them, saying that I am sailing abroad and my business is busy, so it is difficult to have time to come back."

"Anyway, I miss them quite a bit, but I just can't go back because this is Brother Kun's rule and you are not allowed to go home within three years."

"Then you are so pitiful." Gu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly: "When the three years are over, if you continue to work, it will be another three years, and three years after that, and three years after that, endlessly."

"But if you choose to go home after three years, that will probably be the end of your life."

After thinking about it, Gu Chen patted the captain on the shoulder and shook his head helplessly, feeling sorry for him and saying:

"Then I can only wish you good luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen handed the operating panel to the captain and turned around to leave.

He knew that at this time, the captain had already developed a strong sense of crisis under his brainwashing offensive.

At this moment, I was in a daze, and seemed to have deep doubts about my work in the past few years.

Just when Gu Chen was about to leave the cockpit, he suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, I still don't know what your name is?"

"My...my name is Luo Dong." The captain looked at Gu Chen blankly and said blankly.

"Where do you live on the island?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Room 10...Room 10." Luo Dong said with wandering eyes.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "I live in Room 6. After I go back, I can visit each other. I don't have many friends on the island. You, Luo Dong, are one of them."
