Lisa shook her head. “We won’t.”


  The corpses of the pirates had not been all thrown into the sea. One of them had been left hanging from the railing to serve as a warning to other pirates. If they dared to get in the way, they would definitely die.

  Just as Little Yichen was feeling somewhat lost, he suddenly heard a sound. Upon hearing this sound, Lisa sat up and threw herself in front of the screen. She took a look and exclaimed in surprise, “Someone responded to my radio message! There’s a ship nearby!”


  Inle

  “Did you send a radio message earlier on to seek help?”


  “Uh huh.”


  “However, with our fuel reserves, as well as food and drinking water, we should have enough until we reach our destination.”


  Lisa turned around and suddenly asked in return, “Then, have you ever considered whether there would be sufficient emergency equipment on such a small yacht like ours, if we encountered a storm at sea?”


  Little Yichen was stumped.

  “Moreover, there are only two of us, so our abilities are limited. Even though we have sufficient fuel and food and water reserves, we may run out of fuel very quickly, if we were to encounter another storm. Furthermore, the speed of the yacht is limited.”


  The boy nodded. “Okay, I understand. I’ll do whatever you say.”


  “Uh huh.” Lisa immediately sent a distress signal to the passing ship.

  vere

  The other party replied that they were willing to help.

  Feeling much more confident, Lisa determined the location of the radar before steering the yacht closer to the ship. For the past few hours, they had been on high alert and did not relax at all. Hence, they were now feeling rather exhausted. This was especially so for Mu Yichen.

  Lisa immediately urged, “Go and take a nap. I’ll keep watch.”


  He asked worriedly, “Aren’t you tired?”


  “I’m tired, but I can hold on.” Lisa smiled. “Don’t worry, I can handle it. You, on the other hand, should hurry and get some rest. Who knows, I might need you to take over sooner than you think.”


  “Okay.”


  Little Yichen did not waste any time. However, he did not return to his room. Instead, he lay down in the cockpit with his back against the wall, curled up and fell asleep quickly.

  When the boy woke up again, it was from Lisa’s rough shaking.

  “Mu Yichen, wake up!”


  He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Lisa’s nervous expression. “What’s the matter?”


  He sat up warily, thinking that something terrible had happened.

  Lisa said to him, “Do you remember the ship we sent the distress signal to?”


  “Uh huh?”


  “Right now, it’s about a kilometer away from us. However…” She hesitated, looking a little worried. Her cold expression made him anxious as well.

  He asked, “What’s wrong?! Is there a problem?”


  “That’s… the Gu family’s cargo ship.”


  “…” Little Yichen was stunned!

  There was no bad blood between the Mu family and the Gu family. Except where Lisa was concerned. Previously, her underlings had killed all the men that Gu Jinglian had brought to North Africa. Now, they were enemies meeting on a narrow path! At this thought, she became a little afraid to board the ship!

  Mu Yichen took the binoculars from her and glanced in the direction she indicated. Sure enough, it was a giant freighter. The ship’s bow bore a huge ‘Wirth’ logo. It was the Gu family’s factory in North Africa.

  Little Yichen hesitated as well.
