"I really don't want to deal with you." Now, Wang Zheng couldn’t be sure if this Jimmy was intentionally saying such things. If she wasn’t thinking about it deliberately, that would be fine, but if she were being purposeful, then he would have to be on guard against her.

Being able to say something like this proves that the woman is either extremely foolish or incredibly cunning and calculating.

Over the next few days, Wang Zheng didn't encounter Chen Anshi again. He did go down to the cargo hold at night; there was a batch of gold inconspicuously placed in one spot with a few people who appeared to be workers resting beside it, but they were actually on guard duty.

The journey had covered most of its distance and coincidentally encountered high-pressure weather conditions, resulting in calm seas without any large waves. This was indeed quite rare.

These past few days, Wang Zheng would run into Jimmy each time he went out; it seemed that this girl was determined to challenge him, sticking around for hours every time. However, given she was a beautiful woman, Wang Zheng's mood wasn't too bad. If it were an untidy old man, Wang Zheng probably would have already pummeled him.

Jimmy must also be someone who doesn’t back down easily; even when Wang Zheng ate his meals, she followed him around, leaving the latter quite exasperated.

"Where are you going" Jimmy stopped Wang Zheng on deck and asked.

She was wearing a thin black body-hugging halter top as usual today, her snow-white belly peeking out slightly. White sports shorts revealed her elastic legs and curves without reservation.

Facing such a beautiful woman, anyone would likely have the inclination to tease her a little; Wang Zheng had been sparring with her in words for days now, so they were quite familiar by then.

"I'm going back to my room to sleep. Do you intend to follow" Wang Zheng deliberately glanced at Jimmy’s seemingly elastic chest and said: "With your outfit so revealing, wouldn't it be inappropriate if you came back with me to the room"

"Are you afraid I might eat you" Jimmy said with a smile, "You should actually be worried about whether you'll end up getting eaten by me!"

"If you want to follow, go ahead. I'm going back to bed anyway." Wang Zheng walked ahead on his own, while Jimmy jogged to keep up behind him. The men on the deck were all looking at Wang Zheng with envious and resentful eyes.

"What a luxury, having an entire room to oneself, though it's very tidy," Jimmy commented as he looked around, completely oblivious that his撅著的屁股 (protruding butt) was exposed in front of Wang Zheng. It seems this girl is naturally carefree; after several days of interaction and playful bickering, Wang Zheng has noticed that the girl isn't as unpleasant as she seemed at first, though her openness sometimes can be too much to handle.

Wang Zheng lay on his bed with his hands behind his head: "Go ahead then. I'm sleepy so I'll go to sleep."

Jimmy pouted and sat by the side of the bed: "Hey, you really are a guy who doesn't know how to appreciate someone's kindness. She’s been making all the effort and you act like it doesn’t matter at all. That’s just not gentlemanly."

Wang Zheng laughed heartily: "Gentlemanly How much is that worth then If there's a shop selling it, please buy me two catties of it."

"Hmph, so boring," Jimmy sat by Wang Zheng’s bed and swung her legs aimlessly.

She was naturally playful; on this ship she hadn't seen many people to her liking except for Wang Zheng. But he always seemed indifferent towards her.

Wang Zheng was meditating with his eyes closed, and the two of them were unusually quiet.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, suddenly a sharp alarm rang out, piercing through the air painfully!

Wang Zheng and Jimmy both clearly felt that the cruise ship was abruptly slowing down!

"Pirates! Everyone hide in your cabins and don't come out!" The captain had already started broadcasting: "No panic, no panic!"

"Pirates We're in the Pacific Ocean, not off the coast of Somalia. How could there be pirates here" Wang Zheng was quite puzzled as he opened the cabin door and saw passengers on deck with their heads down, fleeing in a panic. Not far from them, four large speedboats were slowly approaching the ship, each flying a skull flag – the emblem of pirates!

Due to the distance, Wang Zheng couldn't yet make out the faces of these pirates, but judging by their skin colors, they seemed to come from all over the world.

The pirates were audacious indeed; one black man had already started shooting at the cargo ship with an assault rifle even from such a distance!

Bullets hit the hull of the ship and sparks flew everywhere. This only added to the passengers' panic, as they never imagined they would actually encounter real pirates.

"Everyone stay calm, quickly hide in your cabins, nothing bad will happen!" The captain shouted.

Even without being told, these timid passengers knew to run into their cabins and lock themselves inside.

Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and kept looking up when a crew member ran over and shouted at him: "What are you staring at Hurry up and hide in your cabin!"

Wang Zheng didn't immediately comply but pondered for a moment, then said: "Tell your captain not to resist under any circumstances."

"Hmph, coward. It's none of your business," the crew member sneered with disdain and said, "Don’t worry, we are equipped with firepower; these ragtag pirates can't do anything to us!"

“You'd better listen to me.” Wang Zheng stared at the crew member.

"You'd better hurry up and get in here." The crewmember pulled the door shut forcefully and locked it.

"What an idiot," Wang Zheng said angrily.

"You don't seem like someone who's easily intimidated." In front of the pirates, Jimmy was not panicked at all but rather felt excited. Wang Zheng really couldn't tell if she was cunning or just too naive.

He took out his phone and checked it, only to find no signal on the vast sea.

Although Wang Zheng wasn't certain whether these pirates were sent by the Dark Military Academy or Qiang Dongsong, one thing was clear: they must have come for the cargo on board. And those three meals of gold cleverly disguised as food were undoubtedly the most valuable items.

Furthermore, Wang Zheng thought of a terrifying possibility: If these pirates were sent by the Dark Military Academy to test the firepower of this ship, then any resistance would expose them and confirm to the Dark Military Academy that there was someone from the Chinese state security apparatus on board!

When they reached the South American port, what kind of reception awaited them Would it be a barrage of gunfire

Yet, he couldn't let these pirates take all the gold either; otherwise, there would be no leverage to negotiate for Chen Maidong's release!

Wang Zheng quickly typed out several characters on his phone and switched to another frequency band before sending a message.

He needed to inform the state security personnel that they mustn't act rashly unless absolutely necessary.

However, he wasn't sure if the state security people had revealed their identities; while some agents had assumed roles such as chief mate or sailor, it was uncertain whether the captain and other crew members knew about this!out the dirt that filled up his ears.His ears had been stuffed with the mud and soil from the explosion!
