"That's enough! Don't you see that she's already feeling very uncomfortable?! Why do you want to add fuel to the fire?!" Ye Misheng couldn't stand it anymore and shouted towards K.
K gave him an indifferent look, "This is what she wants. Now it's your turn."
Lin Xiangwan walked over expressionlessly and whispered a name in his ear.
K left with satisfaction, and Lin Xiangwan stood on the deck without moving.
At first, Ye Misheng thought she was watching K go away, but when K's speedboat had disappeared in the snow and wind, and Lin Xiangwan still didn't move, he realized that something was wrong.
Turning to Lin Xiangwan, Ye Yasheng saw that the tears on Lin Xiangwan's face had turned into ice beads and were hanging on her chin. They rose and fell with her breathing, like crystal clear crystals.
"Xiao Wan..." Ye Misheng reached out and touched her gently. Her look made him very worried, anxious and powerless.
He didn't expect that the relationship between Lin Xiangwan and Chu Di would be so deep. They were obviously divorced and completely separated, but as soon as she heard that something was wrong with him, she immediately became confused.
It turned out that he had never left her heart, he was just well hidden by her, hidden in a corner that only she could find.
She could smile at him, cry at him, and show him the best and worst sides of herself. He was such a special existence to her.
It's so special that it can't tolerate others.
"I'm fine." Lin Xiangwan felt the coldness on her face and sniffed, "Let's go back, it's so cold outside, I'm almost frozen into a popsicle."
After saying that, she smiled reassuringly at Ye Misheng.
Look, she was smiling to herself, but she gave her tears to another man.
Ye Misheng looked at Lin Xiangwan's back, clenched his fists, and after a moment, slowly released them.
Keynes has already prepared fine wines and delicacies, and he is very satisfied with tonight's talks.
The Locke family controls the shipping lifeline of nearly three oceans. Since the colonial period, their family name has been associated with the vast sea. The Locke family's mast and torch emblems have appeared on large-scale shipping all over the world.
On the ships, almost every corner where the Locke merchant ships stopped would become the most prosperous and wealthy place in the area within a few years.
This was an unparalleled honor until five years ago.
Five years ago, a group of pirates hijacked the Locke family's merchant ship. They were not like ordinary pirates. They only wanted goods, money, and jewelry. In addition to these, they also wanted human lives.
The merchant ships that were supposed to arrive at the port in October were not pushed to the port by ocean currents until mid-November.
People saw the ship from a distance, and were surprised to find that countless seabirds were following it, and flocks of black birds were flying around the hull, so that when viewed from a distance, the ship looked like
As if shrouded in dark clouds.
When the ship floated closer, people realized something was wrong. In the past, when merchant ships docked, sailors would always gather on the deck and cheer enthusiastically.
But the deck of this late-arriving merchant ship was empty. Not to mention the cheers of the sailors, there were no voices, and it was as quiet as death.
This was a very unusual scene, and the port staff immediately sent people aboard the merchant ship.
Those who were the first to board the ship could never see it for themselves. Many people went to see a psychiatrist because of this, and what happened on the ship became a lifelong nightmare for them.
The deck of the merchant ship was dyed dark red with blood, and the corpses of the crew were strewn across the deck. Because of the hot weather, all the corpses were highly decomposed. Seabirds were eating the carrion like crazy, and their beaks were covered with flesh and blood.
Like a messenger from hell.
No one among the one hundred and forty-three crew members on the ship was spared. Everyone was dead. Some were killed by knife attacks, some were killed by gunshots, and some simply had their necks broken.
This merchant ship, which was supposed to carry wealth and dreams, became a feast of devil's slaughter.
This incident not only caused a sensation in the entire shipping industry, but because of its atrocious nature, it also alarmed the international community. For a time, everyone in the streets was discussing this tragic massacre at sea.
However, the murderers of these crew members have never been caught.
The Locke family suffered a lot because of this incident. Not only did they have to spend money to provide rewards for the whereabouts of the pirates, compensate and appease the families of the injured crew members, but they also had to save their own image in the news media. The Locke family fired five people within a month.
PR manager.
Although a lot of work has been done, these efforts have not prevented Locke's stock price from falling to the limit for several consecutive working days.
The top brass of the Locke family are extremely busy, but they don't know that this is just the beginning of a nightmare...
In five years, the Locke family lost a total of six ships, and no crew members on each ship survived.
The image of the Locke family has plummeted, from originally representing wealth and glory to now representing bad luck and death.
Under the huge pressure of public opinion, except for the Arctic Ocean business, the Locke family's shipping industry in other places has almost ceased. The reason why the Arctic Ocean can be preserved is entirely because the Locke family has icebreakers that no one else has, and the cost of building icebreakers is quite high.
, ordinary shipping companies are completely unable to afford it.
Keynes is one of the contenders to be the next heir to the Locke family. He will never forget the sight of his father taking him to sail in the sea on his family's merchant ship when he was young.
He is a man destined to become the king of ships, and no one can stop him.
Just when most of the top brass in the Locke family decided to eliminate the shipping industry from the Locke family's business, Keynes was secretly conducting investigations.
It took him five years and countless money to finally find the mastermind who had been chasing the Locke merchant ships on the sea all these years.
Not only did he know who the man was, he also knew where he was hiding.
But with his own strength, he couldn't eradicate that person.
That kind of person is like a poisonous weed. Unless you uproot him and burn him to ashes with fire, he can be truly eliminated. Otherwise, as long as there is a slight chance, he will come back.
Keynes must completely destroy the opponent with one blow, and he will never give the opponent a chance to start over again!
Keynes has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Until recently, his friend in the Maritime Safety Administration told him that some international forces are currently preparing to join forces to fight against pirates in Japan, and K is one of the executors.
Keynes tried his best to contact K. He didn't expect that he was so lucky. He also met Lin Xiangwan, who had some friendship with K, on Greenland.
"Mr Keynes seems to be in a good mood?"
The dinner was very sumptuous, but there were only two of them at the table, and Ye Misheng was not there for some unknown reason.
Sitting opposite Keynes, separated by such a big table, Lin Xiangwan could still feel Keynes' joy. If there were no other people here, he would be so beautiful that he could hum a song.
But compared to his happiness, Lin Xiangwan's mood was not that good.
"Of course, countless sailors from the Locke family have died because of those damn pirates. Now as long as I hear that the Locke family is recruiting sailors, no one will apply. Now that I have the opportunity to get rid of those murderous demons, I am naturally very happy. But
Miss Lin, you don't seem so happy."
Keynes pointed out Lin Xiangwan's situation mercilessly. Lin Xiangwan smiled bitterly, "You're right, I'm really annoyed now. My husband, oh, it's my ex-husband, he's dying, but I can't
Helping him makes me feel useless."
"I advise Miss Lin not to take it too seriously. Since you are already your ex-husband, his life and death really have nothing to do with you. Don't give up the entire forest just because of a tree. Am I right, Miss Lin?" Cairns raised the question.
He picked up the wine glass and looked at Lin Xiangwan through the rose-red wine.
It was already dark at this time, and the crystal chandelier was lit in the restaurant. Lin Xiangwan sat across from him. She was wearing the most ordinary clothes, no makeup, and no jewelry. She was no better than the celebrities and supermodels who were always surrounding him.
Dressing herself up, she gave him a wonderful feeling.
A woman like her, who is both strong and fragile, can arouse a man's protective desire, but at the same time, you must also know clearly that you are not his savior.
She may be attached to you, but as soon as her wings are full or she gets what she wants, she will leave immediately.
She is so ruthless and unintentional, but she touches your heart all the time. Perhaps it is because of this restlessness that makes men find it particularly challenging and always want to conquer her, or simply break her wings and put her away.
She is imprisoned in her own castle.
"My heart is not as big as Mr. Keynes's. All I need is a tree." Lin Xiangwan smiled, and the silver knife in her hand scratched emptyly on the plate with graceful and charming movements. "Actually, I still have
I’d like to ask Mr. Keynes for something.”
"You said, I am happy to provide services to beautiful ladies, all kinds of services." Keynes's attitude was very ambiguous, and the last few words were almost breathed out.
Lin Xiangwan ignored his teasing and continued calmly, "I would like to ask Mr. Keynes to help me check if there is anyone who can get in touch with the rebels in South Africa."
With a crisp sound, Keynes placed the knife and fork heavily on the white porcelain dinner plate, "You are crazy. Those people are murderous demons. If you go to them, you are seeking death! Chu Di is their enemy. You are for the enemy."
Please, do you think they will let you go?! I won't do this kind of thing! Even if I can find a middleman, I will never tell you!"
"I'm willing to pay any price, as long as I can afford it." Lin Xiangwan said softly, with an unusually firm tone.
Lin Xiangwan's words made Keynes pause. After a moment, he sneered, "In that case, let me see your sincerity. Come to my bedroom tonight, alone, don't bring a knife."
