C2654 Debating(1)
And Li Changting was not a pedantic man. He understood the gist of the situation after hearing Yuan Yue's words, and nodded his head quickly.
"Alright, we understand. I..."
"What is this? You... you dare to bring the sea monsters up here? And... and you actually managed to get so much treasure from the bottom of the sea? Could it be... that this siren asked you to bring her up and gave you so much wealth as a reward?"
Zhang Ao, who was originally in the driver's seat, naturally heard that Faang Cheng and the others had returned. He did not follow Li Changting and the others, but only hid in the driver's seat and peeked outside! Only when he saw the treasures and Zhou Zhiqing, did he turn his eyes and rush out!
"This is a sea monster, it can kill! Although she looks sickly, if she recovers to her original state, she will take our lives! You... you can't disregard our lives for the sake of this treasure! "
Zhang Ao shouted loudly in an exaggerated manner!
"What siren? She's not a siren at all, she's just an ordinary girl! We rescued her from the bottom of the sea..."
But before Yuan Yue could even finish her explanation, Zhang Ao had already started shouting!
"Captain Han! Captain Han, these people brought a sea monster from the seabed for the sake of money. We... we're going to lose our lives!"
He turned around and shouted in the direction of the cockpit, making everyone present speechless! Especially Li Changting and the others. They had just parted on bad terms because of their differing opinions. Now that they saw Zhang Ao like this, they felt even more disgusted and disdainful!
"What is wrong with this Zhang Ao? I see. He has seen so many ignorant and incompetent profligate sons renting our boat. Why can't I see him being so indignant? Isn't this young lord Fang much better than those guys? Why does he have so many things to do?"
Wang Chunsheng helplessly looked at Zhang Ao's back and whispered in Li Changting's ear!
"Shh, don't speak anymore!"
Li Changting signaled Wang Chunsheng not to speak carelessly, in case trouble came from his mouth.
"This Zhang Ao does seem to have some problems, as if he's targeting Young Master Fang and the others. After this, I'll go and remind Young Master Fang. Regardless of whether this Zhang Ao has any other problems, it's good to be prepared! "
Li Changting nodded his head and whispered to Wang Chunsheng.
However, the whispers of Li Changting and the others were nothing to Faang Cheng and the others. They could clearly hear the conversation between the sailors! Hearing them mention Zhang Ao, Faang Cheng could not help but narrow his eyes and turn his head to pay attention to the noisy Zhang Ao!
"What sea monster? What do you mean? Zhang Ao, what are you saying?"
Captain Han was so disturbed by Zhang Ao's shout that he hurriedly ran out of the cockpit, followed by the other four slightly older sailors. Since the boat was still in a state of stagnation, the sailors had nothing else to do. They stayed in the driver's seat, and when they heard Zhang Ao's cry, they followed him out!
"Captain Han, look! These people brought a sea monster! This sea monster must have bribed them with money, that's why they brought this sea monster on board, she's trying to take our lives! "
Hearing Zhang Ao's nonsensical explanation, Faang Cheng and the others gritted their teeth, wanting nothing more than to sew his mouth shut so that she wouldn't be able to continue blabbering!
"This... this..."
And when Captain Han saw Zhou Zhiqing sitting on the chair, he was taken aback. He took a slight step back and turned around to look at Faang Cheng and the others.
"Young Master Fang, this... What's going on? As the captain... I still have to worry about the safety of my ship! If there is a factor that might affect the safety of the ship, I have the responsibility and the right to eliminate it!"
Since the other party was Faang Cheng, Captain Han spoke to him very politely.
"I can only tell Captain Han that there is nothing here that will jeopardize the safety of the ship, so you can rest assured!"
Faang Cheng smiled at Captain Han and pointed at Zhou Zhiqing behind him.
"First of all, she is a normal girl. However, due to some changes in her body, she looks like a siren. However, she is not a normal person. She is a normal person! Miss Zhou..."
After saying that, Faang Cheng called out to Zhou Zhiqing softly.
"Yes! I'm a normal person, I have the mind and brain of a normal person, and I never hurt anyone, I'm just a little changed because I've been in the water for a long time! You don't have to worry too much!"
Zhou Zhiqing's sudden words gave Captain Han and the four veteran sailors a fright. After listening to Zhou Zhiqing's clear and quick thinking, they completely believed that Zhou Zhiqing was not a sea monster, but a normal person!2
"So that's the case..."
Captain Han relaxed a bit, and then... his gaze fell on the pile of treasure not far away, and the surprise in his eyes became even more intense!
"Then these..."
He was a little hesitant!
Actually, it was not like they had never encountered such a thing like going out to sea to excavate treasures. Previously, there were people who rented their ships to go out to the sea in order to dig out treasures at the bottom of the sea. But because the sea was too deep, and because the equipment of their time was not so good, the treasure-digging operation was very likely to fail, and the only person who succeeded was only able to find a few small objects! This time, the number of people who managed to dig up so many treasures was simply unprecedented, and there would be no one who could do so in the future!
"It was indeed dug out from the bottom of the sea! But... these are not ours, but this Miss Zhou's. She found them in her own buried house. They are her personal effects, and we are just helping her to get them out, and then we have to return them to the original owner!"
Faang Cheng's words were watertight and flawless, and no one else could find out whether or not it was true or false. Moreover, they were the ones who helped Zhou Zhiqing bring this item up, and in the end, they had to hand it over to Zhou Zhiqing and let her deal with the money herself! Whether she wanted to take revenge or live on, that was her own business!
"Ah? So that's the case!"
Captain Han came to a sudden realization. Then he turned around to look at the treasures again, his gaze filled with reluctance.
In fact, this was a normal behavior. It was very normal for an ordinary person to look at so many treasures with envy and even a bit of greed!
