Although I had met the captain several times in the past few days, I had not had a detailed conversation with him.
Today, the other party took the initiative to contact him, and Ye Chen couldn't help but be a little more vigilant.
"Well... does the captain have something to do with us brothers?"
"Just call me Smith, haha! Chinese people, Chinese people are always very cautious."
Regarding Ye Chen's cautious attitude, the man in the vest still just smiled.
"That's why I like Chinese people. Although Chinese people don't talk much, they are always the ones who can accomplish things best."
Smith turned around and leaned against the railing, looking at the two of them.
"I guess you two will be a little confused if I come over unexpectedly."
"I'll just say it bluntly, I'm very interested in you!"
"us?"
Ye Chen gently winked at Zhao Hailong.
Zhao Hailong nodded slightly, his muscles bulging slightly, obviously entering a state of alert.
"Haha! Don't be nervous."
As a martial arts practitioner, Smith could naturally tell at a glance that Zhao Hailong was getting ready for battle.
"I'm not here to cause trouble, but I heard from the sailors that you are related to Zhao Hailong, the boss of the Hailong Gang?"
"Yes... is there any problem with this?"
Ye Chen relaxed slightly when he heard the other party mention Zhao Hailong's name.
But then he asked his question.
To be honest, Ye Chen had also considered whether using Zhao Hailong's name would cause any trouble during the stowaway trip.
But the name Zhao Hailong was of great help to Ye Chen after concealing his identity, so Ye Chen decided to use this identity.
But now it seems...
Ye Chen sighed softly in his heart. Sure enough, he shouldn't use the name Zhao Hailong...
"No, it's not a bad thing. It's just that Zhao Hailong and I have some friendship. I wonder if he has ever mentioned me to you..."
Smith said suddenly.
Ye Chen glanced back at Zhao Hailong, obviously to confirm the authenticity of what the white man in front of him said.
But Zhao Hailong had no impression of this person in his mind.
So he shook his head slightly.
And Smith, who was standing in front of Ye Chen and the two, could naturally see their little moves clearly.
"Are you...really from the Hailong Gang?"
Smith gently knocked the pipe in his hand, and his tone gradually became colder.
"Captain Smith, this is your territory. If you want to cause trouble for us two brothers, you don't have to be so roundabout, right?"
At this moment, Ye Chen finally realized that the person in front of him was probably not here for the purpose of getting along well with him.
"Causing trouble for you?
I’m not that bored yet.”
Smith raised his hand and made a gentle circle.
The stowaways who were sightseeing on the deck were all driven back to the cabin by the sailors.
"I know all the information about all the stowaways on the ship! But there are only two of you..."
"The information is quite ambiguous."
Seeing that the deck was clear, Smith raised his hand and made a backhand circle.
The sailors who were originally scattered around the deck centered on Ye Chen and Zhao Hailong, and formed a circle to surround them.
"To be honest, if you were originally from the Hailong Gang, you would have saved me a lot of trouble."
"It's a pity that although the Hailong Gang is the largest gang in Ning Province, it has a lot of 'white' in it!"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.
To be able to actually know his relationship with Zhao Hailong, it seems that this Smith also has some tricks.
but……
why?
Ye Chen looked back at Zhao Hailong again.
I saw the face of the man behind him was full of anxiety, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Although it is certain that there is an insider within the Hailong Gang, Zhao Hailong may be a suitable gang leader but not necessarily a suitable organizational leader, so Ye Chen does not intend to blame him too much for this.
"If we are not members of the Hailong Gang, what are you going to do to us?"
"No! You should be Zhao Hailong's subordinates."
But Smith's next words were somewhat beyond Ye Chen's expectations.
"After all, I really don't know Zhao Hailong, so it's normal that you haven't heard of my name."
Smith shrugged slightly.
"What I want to know is, who are you!"
"Yu Haolong, Yu Haoze, these shouldn't be your real names, right?"
Smith asked with a slight smile.
"Is this question important?"
Ye Chen stared at the man and asked this question.
"Of course, I will decide whether to throw you into the sea tonight or stay on the deck based on your next answer."
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, then sighed.
"To tell you the truth, we brothers did lie to you."
"oh?"
Hearing Ye Chen's answer, Smith raised his eyebrows, and then winked at the sailors standing behind Ye Chen and the others.
Everyone slowly took a few steps back.
"We two brothers are indeed members of the Hailong Gang..."
"But that's a thing of the past..."
Ye Chen sighed and came to Smith's side, looking at the sea that was dyed blood red by the setting sun.
The sea breeze blowing in his face raised his bangs.
"Thing of the past?"
Smith looked sideways at Ye Chen, obviously interested.
"Because of our industry, our brothers had a feud with the Black Panther Gang, the largest gang in Shen City at that time."
"As time went by, the conflict between the two gangs became more and more intensified."
"Finally, one night, the war broke out."
"But the Black Panther Gang at that time was far stronger than our Hailong Gang. In order to win over the Black Panther Gang, Zhao Hailong found Ye Chen, the president of Hongfeng Group in Shen City at the time, and asked for his help."
"There is nothing wrong with this. As the leader of the gang, the brothers all think this is a necessary contribution."
"With Ye Chen's help, we successfully defeated the Black Panther Gang, and the Black Panther Gang's stronghold was burned to the ground overnight."
"Since then, the Hailong Gang has also owed favors to the Red Maple Group. We originally thought that Zhao Hailong would find an opportunity to repay Ye Chen's favor, and then the Hailong Gang would be able to return to its previous appearance."
"But……"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered, as if a fire was burning.
"I wonder what agreement Ye Chen reached with Zhao Hailong, but Zhao Hailong was actually completely tamed by Ye Chen."
"We are gangsters! We are people who make a living by relying on drugs, prostitution, gambling and other hugely profitable industries!"
"If it weren't for the fact that he could make a lot of money, who among the brothers would be willing to follow Zhao Hailong?
!”
"I thought, if Zhao Hailong doesn't do it, why don't I, my brother, do it! At worst, the money will be split 50-50."
"But on that day..."
Ye Chen gently clenched his fists and spoke through gritted teeth, as if he had really returned to that day.
