The departure time was in the early morning. Zihao arranged for someone to wait at the dock. It was a cargo ship. It looked a little old, but it was very sturdy. There were several old crew members on it, and their faces were full of weather. They must have been at sea.
Crew members who have been drifting for decades.
Yi's people moved several boxes of goods to the cargo ship. When the captain saw that everyone was on board, he ordered the ship to sail.
"Joy, I'm sorry, I called you here temporarily." Zihao smiled at the captain. The captain looked to be in his early forties, which should be considered relatively young for the captain's position.
"Master, that's too polite to say that." Joey laughed heartily, with a boldness unique to sailors.
Strictly speaking, Joey's job was also given to him by Zihao. If he hadn't been given this job back then, he, his wife and children would have probably starved to death long ago, and there would be no chance of him escaping from the Middle East and coming here.
Athens.
"Are you okay, sister-in-law?" Zihao took the cigarette from Joey and started smoking casually. He rarely smoked, and only smoked a few when he was with friends who were heavy smokers.
"She is very good. She asked me to call you, Master, to thank you. If it hadn't been for the doctor recommended by Master, my son probably wouldn't have survived." Speaking of his lost and found son, he was very grateful to Zihao for being like them.
People like this would never have the chance to meet any famous doctors. When they fled from the Middle East to Athens, they wanted to treat their son. Who knew that none of those doctors would treat their son? Fortunately, Zihao arranged for his son to be treated.
There is hope for the disease.
For people like them, a drop of kindness must be repaid by a spring, let alone saving his son, so Joey made up his mind to repay Zihao well.
"It's just a simple effort." Zihao smiled. In fact, it was just a simple effort for him. He was from a noble family, but he was not a young master who didn't know the sufferings of the world. Many times he could do things just by moving his fingers.
For these poor people, they may not be able to achieve it even if they work hard for a lifetime.
He is not a person who is overflowing with sympathy, but he is not a hard-hearted person either. He will try his best to help anyone who can.
"Master, is that girl just now your girlfriend? She's so beautiful." Joey praised happily.
"How long will it take for us to arrive in Syria?" Zihao changed the subject. At least for the time being, he didn't want to mention Die Ning.
"If the weather is good, it will take about five days." Joey thought for a while and answered briefly, "But it may be a little more troublesome when it comes to Syria. The martial law is very severe in the Middle East recently. We have arranged people to deal with it, but we can't.
Know what the situation is."
Zihao nodded. If it weren't for the martial law issue in the Middle East, he would have taken the helicopter long ago. The current situation is that taking a boat is more covert, and the target of the helicopter is too big. He might be stopped as soon as he arrives in the Middle East.
"I have given Ling Yi the specific arrangements, and he will tell you in detail." Zihao rarely travels by boat. Although he has several shipping routes, he usually travels by helicopter or private plane.
Although their actions were very secretive, he believed that the North American side would get the news soon. Fortunately, due to the tense relationship between the Middle East and the United States, North American agents would not enter the Middle East in a big way and could only disguise themselves as cargo ships like them.
Joey nodded and went down to do his own business.
At this time, Ling Yi came over and approached Zi Hao, "Master, I have already checked it. There is nothing wrong with the cargo ship, but..." He frowned slightly, not knowing how to explain the strangeness he noticed.
"What's wrong?" Zihao asked.
"Young master, have you noticed it too? Captain Joey is a little strange. Zero Two and I have very tight schedules. It makes no sense that when we get here, the cargo ship is already ready and all the people are there. It's like..."
Zero Yi frowned and did not continue.
Zihao curled his lips coldly, "It's like it was prepared for us."
People like them are always particularly sensitive to danger. Without any scientific basis, they can clearly sense the hostility or goodwill of others hidden deep in their eyes by relying on keen observation and years of experience accumulation.
"Are there any of our people on board?" Zihao asked.
"Well, half of them are our people." Zero One just walked around and roughly estimated that there are about a dozen crew members on the entire cargo ship. About six or seven of them are their people. The rest were brought by Joey later.
people.
Zihao's heart sank. In this vast sea, it was not his advantageous area, and he was actually not sure.
"Arrange for someone to take Yi Si back to Athens in the boat, and ask Zero Two to send someone to take them to Syria again." Zihao narrowed his eyes, "If I were them, they would definitely think that I brought the goods with me and would not hand over the goods.
Give it to Yi."
Since he has waded into this muddy water, he will not give up halfway. There will never be a record of failure on Zihao's transportation line. Since the other party's goal is him, he will generously stay on the boat as bait, allowing Yi and the others to
The goods are sent out as soon as possible.
"Also, send Die Ning away as well." Zihao thought for a moment and added.
Ling Yi was startled for a moment, then nodded again, "What should we do with Joey's people?"
"Stay still for now. I want to see who the people behind him are?" He had a feeling that maybe they were the third group of people, intending to provoke conflicts between him and the North American secret service organization. But who the other party was, he still couldn't tell.
There is no answer.
"Yes." Zero nodded, walked to the cabin, and used the handheld computer he carried to contact Zero Two. This is direct communication with satellites, so it can be used even on the sea without any communication equipment.
Zihao stood alone on the deck, his fingers clasping the railing. He always felt as if he had walked into someone else's trap step by step. He had always been a hunter, and this time he didn't feel like being stared at.
It feels good, but he is still very confident, and he can only be the winner in the end.
Turning her head slightly, she saw Die Ning standing on the lower deck. The sea breeze blew her long hair away, making her look like a delicate woman, which had never existed in her before.
Her toughness and stubbornness always gave Zihao a headache.
Looking from the side, her expression was very serious, with a bit of confusion and sadness. He secretly cursed himself for being hopeless. Before, he kept saying that he hated her for her ruthlessness, but now he saw her everywhere.
Coincidentally, Die Ning seemed to feel someone looking at him. She turned around and looked up, and her eyes met with Zihao's. She frowned slightly, while Zihao's face was expressionless. The look in their eyes was very strange.
Die Ning seemed to want to say something, but Zihao's indifferent look prevented her from speaking.
After looking at each other indifferently, Zihao turned and left. He no longer expected to see any tenderness in her eyes. This woman's heart was made of ice. No matter how affectionate he was, she would not feel anything at all.
Die Ning, who stayed on the deck, saw Zihao's indifference when he left, and her heart stung slightly. She didn't know what was going on, and her chest felt tight, as if something important had been lost.
