"What happened to that sound just now?" asked the leader on the small fire wheel.
"Someone jumped into the river on the passenger ship..."
"I know someone jumped into the river. What I'm asking about is the cry. Don't you think the sound is a bit familiar? Think about it if it's someone you know."
"It does sound a bit familiar..." The person who spoke heard the words, responded, thought about it carefully, and said: "It sounds a bit like that guy from the Shen family..."
"Shen Wenbin? Hmm..." The leader nodded and said, "As you said, it does sound like him. Let's go... and have a look..."
After saying that, the man directed the small steamer to go in the direction where it had just fallen into the water. As soon as the boat turned around, two heads appeared on the river not far from them, and they waved at them a few times.
Swim towards the boat.
"As expected, it's this little guy who is sailing the boat. For the sake of fellow villagers, please help him!"
This boat is the one that Shen Wenbin and his wife took when they came to Hankou, and the person leading it is the former owner of the small steamer.
Not long after, Shen Wenbin and his wife were dragged onto the boat, leaning on the string of the boat and breathing heavily.
Looking at the two people's outfits, a crew member couldn't help but joked: "Why, you've made a lot of money, why are you still in such a mess?"
At this time, Shen Wenbin was dripping with water all over his body. He was holding a pair of sunglasses in one hand and hugging a coat tightly. However, he was soaked in water, so there was no trace of his temperament.
Hearing this, Shen Wenbin opened his eyes and ignored the crew. Instead, he asked the ship owner anxiously: "Brother Qian, is there any way to quietly run to the front of the passenger ship? Don't worry, I will give you enough money this time."
Hearing this, Captain Qian guessed that Shen Wenbin must have been in big trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped off the ship and wouldn't have said such things to him.
However, Captain Qian didn't pay much attention to this. He turned to face the boat and said: "Turn around, use the fastest speed and go downstream from the small water channel."
After shouting, when Captain Qian turned around and came back, he saw Shen Wenbin holding the string of the boat and heading towards the direction where the passenger ship left, watching carefully.
Captain Qian saw this and comforted him: "Don't worry, Master Shen. This place is a bend in the river. There is a small waterway in the reed marsh that you can go through directly. You are guaranteed to run in front of the big ship."
At this point, Captain Qian asked: "Master Shen, what kind of trouble have you encountered? Tell me, I still have some connections on this river, maybe I can solve it for you."
Hearing this, Shen Wenbin did not answer directly, but said: "Brother Qian, last time I saw a shotgun hidden on your ship, you'd better take it out and load it."
"What? Those people have guns?"
"Hmm..." Shen Wenbin nodded slightly, turned around and said, "There are guns, and they are all pistols. They are Brownings."
Hearing this, Captain Qian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly regretted taking the two people on board. But after looking at Shen Wenbin's outfit, Captain Qian gritted his teeth and did not throw the two people off, but instead gave them to his crew members.
Made a gesture.
Upon seeing this, the crew immediately turned around and entered the cabin, took out the shotgun from the hiding place and began to load it.
Seeing this scene, Shen Wenbin breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Brother Qian, thank you very much. When it is safe, I will tell you the whole story."
After Shen Wenbin finished speaking, the small steamer sailed from a small waterway into the reed marsh. Looking at the reeds around him that had begun to sprout green buds, Shen Wenbin felt relieved.
On the passenger ship, Liu Kuipeng found the captain in the wheelhouse and handed him two small yellow croakers, who then let go and lowered the lifeboat.
However, one ship was released, and the passenger ship didn't even stop. It just slowed down, put down the lifeboat and Liu Kuipeng's people, and then drove away.
It's not that the captain is cold-blooded and doesn't care about the lives of his passengers. The captain just doesn't want to cause trouble and wants to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
What happened on the deck had long been reported to the captain by the crew. The captain knew that the person who jumped into the river took the initiative. At the same time, the captain also knew what Shen Wenbin and his wife did after they boarded the ship.
After all, how could the battle when boarding the ship not attract the attention of the crew? What's more, Shen Wenbin and the others had booked a first-class cabin on half of the ship. There were already dedicated crew members waiting for them. Although they were blocked by Liu Kuipeng's men, they were not far away.
When the captains heard about Shen Wenbin's behavior and dress before and after boarding the ship, they felt that they could not afford to offend these people. Since they were about to get off the ship, they were naturally eager to do so.
Liu Kuipeng took the lifeboat and did not go straight to the sinking point. Instead, he reached the shore first and divided his men into several waves before starting to search.
One wave of people searched up the river bank, another wave of people took lifeboats to search on the other side of the river, and another wave of people used threats and inducements to ask the boatmen on the shore to row into the river to look for people.
In addition to these three waves, three people also separated and ran in different directions along the riverside path. They were looking for a phone to contact the city.
Liu Kuipeng took a small boat and ran to the center of the river, looking around. Unfortunately, he looked all the way to the sinking point and found nothing.
Liu Kuipeng had no choice but to change his mind and go aboard the surrounding ships, first to inquire about the situation, and secondly to see if anyone was hiding on the ship. As for whether Shen Wenbin and the others would have drowned, he simply did not believe it.
Now Liu Kuipeng finally understood why Zhong Heqing reminded him again and again to pay attention to the two of them. It turned out that they were really two old foxes.
On the way from Wuchang to Nanjing, I don't know how many times there were opportunities like today. Let alone escape, these two people never even showed that they knew how to swim. It turned out that this was the moment they had been waiting for.
Along the way, he was testing the other party, but the other party did not miss this opportunity. He used these opportunities to constantly wear down his vigilance, until he launched the attack when he was most relaxed.
Thinking about Liu Kuipeng Wu Kui's discovery at the end, it turned out that the clown was actually himself. He beat Yan all day long, but Yan looked at him. This made Liu Kuipeng so angry that he wanted to tear out the bones of Shen Wenbin and skin him...
"Steward Liu, Steward Liu..." Hearing someone calling him, Liu Kuipeng quickly rowed over to the boatman.
The reason why his subordinates still called Liu Kuipeng Liu Guanjie was because Liu Kuipeng gave the order on the ship. Although he was angry, he had not lost his mind and must find an excuse for his actions.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as the ship approached, his subordinates immediately jumped over and reported the situation. It turned out that this subordinate asked a witness and got the whereabouts of Shen Wenbin and others.
Liu Kuipeng looked at the fishing boat next to him and saw a trembling old man. Liu Kuipeng didn't need to think about it, and he knew that his subordinates must not have asked him properly.
Although he was anxious and wanted to chase after him immediately, he still put on a friendly expression and said: "Old boatman, don't be afraid, my men are too rude, I will make amends to you."
After saying that, Liu Kuipeng made a "respectful" bow to the old man.
"No, no... I can't bear it... Master... please don't..." Upon seeing this, the old man waved his hands repeatedly and smacked his lips in refusal.
"Old man, don't worry. We are not bad people. The one who just jumped into the river is my young master. He ran away from home and it was not easy to find him. I want to take him back. Who wants to..."
At this point, Liu Kuipeng smiled bitterly and then continued: "Old man, I hope you will explain the situation to my men in detail. Don't worry, if he dares to disrespect you again, I will make him look good."
After saying that, Liu Kuipeng pretended to give a lesson to his men, gave a few instructions in a low voice, took out some oceans and gave them to him, and then headed towards the waterway with his other men who had already come over.
But at this time, there was still no time. The small steamer Shen Wenbin rode had already gone out from the other end of the waterway and ran onto the Yangtze River again.
The small steamer came out and ran for a long time, and then the passenger ship slowly came out of the bend of the river. The distance between the two was several kilometers.
"Master Shen, look, we have already run in front of the passenger ship, and my little steamer is faster than the passenger ship. The other party will definitely not be able to catch up. Now you can say it!"
Hearing this, Shen Wenbin lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qian, we... we may not be safe yet. The other party is very powerful and may stop us downstream..."
Shen Wenbin's words almost made Captain Qian vomit blood. With a black face, he angrily yelled at his crew: "Why are you standing there in silence? Throw these two guys down..."
Seeing the crew member running towards him angrily, Shen Wenbin shouted: "Brother Qian, it's too late, it's useless if you throw me away... Let me go... Brother Qian... ugh... let go... Mr. Qian
...You can't escape even if you throw me away...Wuwu..."
Looking at Shen Wenbin who was resisting wildly and not forgetting the threats in his mouth, Captain Qian waved his hands and said: "Wait a minute and let him finish his words!"
Hearing this, the crew stopped and Shen Wenbin took two long breaths and said: "Brother Qian, when I boarded your ship, many ships around me saw it. If you throw me away, they will definitely find you."
of the ship.
And I have a lot of valuable goods with me. If you throw me off the boat, I will throw some into the river. When they catch me, they will say that you took me away, and they will definitely not let you go."
After saying that, Shen Wenbin took off the gloves that he had not taken off since he got on the boat, immediately revealing what was on his hands.
There were many more things on those hands than in the hotel. There were two watches on each hand, and the fingers were full of rings, all of which were added by Shen Wenbin before putting on his gloves.
"Haha... Look, Brother Qian, the cheapest one I'm wearing here is worth hundreds of oceans..."
Seeing Shen Wenbin's triumphant introduction, Captain Qian's face turned into the bottom of a pot. There was no joy at all, only endless regret and depression.
"Then tell me! What should we do now? According to what you said, there are interceptions in front and pursuers behind, so it's not easy to escape!"
After hearing this, Shen Wenbin smiled and said: "Brother Qian, you first need to change the face of the ship. They will definitely ask for the characteristics of the ship. We can't let people recognize it easily."
"Okay, then how do you want to change it?"
Hearing this, Shen Wenbin immediately got rid of the crew's control and began to take command. After a while, the items hanging on the ship's watch were either changed to something else or dropped.
Then Shen Wenbin directed again, moving the cargo boxes on the deck and deforming them. Some of the window glass was smashed and some were pasted with newspapers. A door was torn down and thrown into the river, and the ship's chimney was also completely smashed.
After doing this, I started cleaning, wiping the boat clean, and then picking up the dirty things to make it worn. After nearly two hours of work, the boat immediately changed its appearance.
