As soon as the words fell, the sailors looked at each other.

"Don't be sad, she will be fine." Lao Du is the one who understands Gu Tingchen's thoughts the best, and is also the calmest in his actions and words.

Gu Tingchen cast a grateful look at Lao Du and nodded half-believingly.

"I think she must think I'm dead now. I'm worried that she will do something stupid..." Gu Tingchen didn't know why, but he trusted this group of people very much and was willing to tell them his true situation, including his inner thoughts.

Seeing Gu Tingchen confide his feelings, Lao Du also sighed, "You should be thankful that the feelings you have are very pure."

"You can also have such feelings." Gu Tingchen raised his eyes and said this. He noticed from Lao Du's face that what he had just said was a bit too naive and childish.

Lao Du only smiled bitterly, "You really don't know how to appreciate your good fortune. We are on the boat every year, how could any woman be willing to be with us?"

"I still haven't found a wife yet!" Arong always talks the most and is the most tactless.

Gu Tingchen looked at him. He was a very strong young man, tall, but with dark skin and a somewhat unsteady way of speaking.

Old Du rolled his eyes at Ah Rong and said with a hint of admonition, "If you behave like an adult, maybe after you get off the boat and get your salary, there will be women willing to be with you. If you keep being so reckless, I think you'll be in trouble."

Frightened by Lao Du, Arong quickly shut up.

The remaining Dazhuang and Qiangzi couldn't help laughing and were smiling secretly.

"It is precisely because I have a lover like this that I can't wait to get ashore and tell her that I am fine now." Gu Tingchen looked embarrassed. His mind was now full of Jiang Ranran and there was no room for anything else.

Upon hearing this, Lao Du nodded thoughtfully.

"If you want to confirm the date of docking, you must ask the captain in person." Lao Du pointed out a clear way to Gu Tingchen.

Gu Tingchen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He grabbed Lao Du and asked, "Captain? Take me to see him!"

"Wait until you recover from your injury, otherwise, will the people who come ashore to chase you let you go?" Old Du was indeed the oldest and thought the most. His words had to make Gu Tingchen think carefully.

Who knows if Shen Fei will be lying in ambush around here?

Besides, Gu Tingchen has no idea about the situation on the shore. Will he be in danger once he goes ashore?

"I've made up my mind. Once I get ashore, I will contact my assistant to protect me first. I don't think it will be a big problem." Gu Tingchen made up his mind. He didn't care about so many things anymore. He had to see Jiang Ranran as soon as possible.

Seeing that Gu Tingchen had made up his mind, Lao Du had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I can take you to see the captain, but I don't think your request to dock early will be allowed, because the captain is a difficult person to talk to..."

"Besides, we have a fishing mission, and the surrounding countries do not allow us to dock. Even if the captain agrees to your request, it will take some time for us to go back to the country." Lao Du patiently explained the situation to Gu Tingchen.

After hearing what Lao Du said, Gu Tingchen realized that it would be very difficult for him to reach the shore.

But you have to try your best in everything before you give up.

Gu Tingchen's face showed a trace of determination. He pursed his lips and told Lao Du: "Please take me to see the captain. I really need to go ashore as soon as possible. I need to talk to the captain."

Lao Du nodded when he heard this.

"Since you have difficulty moving around, I will personally ask the captain to come and see you." Lao Du is always thoughtful.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingchen looked at Lao Du with gratitude.

Lao Du was very efficient. A few hours later, a middle-aged man with a beard walked into Gu Tingchen's room.

"Are you the boss they rescued? I heard you wanted to see me?" The captain asked a series of questions as soon as he entered the door.

His attitude was obviously not as polite as the sailors', and was even a little humble.

Gu Tingchen nodded as if nothing had happened. "Yes, please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Gu Tingchen, the president of Gu Group. I was being chased and fell into the sea. It was your sailors who saved me."

"I have an urgent matter now and need to go ashore immediately, but they can't make the decision, so I have to ask you in person."

Gu Tingchen explained his situation clearly, hoping to get the captain's help.

But the captain listened to the whole thing with a look of indifference on his face.

"You said you are Gu Tingchen? What evidence do you have?" The captain's first reaction was to question Gu Tingchen's identity.

Gu Tingchen was penniless and had no ID, so he had no way of proving his identity. So he spread his hands and said helplessly, "There are photos of me on the Internet. You can check them out."

"This is the high seas, there's not even a cell phone signal, and you want me to go online?" the captain said rudely.

Then, he looked Gu Tingchen up and down and said coldly, "I want to see your ID."

"I don't have any ID." Gu Tingchen told the truth.

He had already seen that this captain was not as easy to get along with as the sailors. He was arrogant and unkind. These two characteristics were simply engraved on the captain's face.

Gu Tingchen is not afraid of dealing with such people because he knows that these people only care about their own interests.

It seems rational, but in fact it is so realistic that it is inhumane.

"Without ID, I won't believe you." The captain's face showed a hint of sarcasm, and he had obviously concluded that Gu Tingchen was a liar.

Gu Tingchen didn't feel angry or strange at all. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I'm in your hands. As long as you take me to shore, I can give you a lot of money. You can name your price."

Gu Tingchen's heroic speech finally attracted the captain.

"How much can you give me? You have to know that if I take you ashore, my sailing and fishing plans will be completely disrupted, and I will be punished. The money you give me must be enough to make up for this."

The captain really cared about profit the most; he was much more indifferent than the sailors.

"Ten million, is that enough?" Gu Tingchen stretched out a finger and directly offered the price.

The captain was obviously impressed by this number. A gleam flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared because he was a very shrewd and rational man.

"This number is acceptable, but how can I be sure that you can come up with 10 million?" The captain narrowed his eyes, obviously still not quite believing Gu Tingchen.

Gu Tingchen said seriously, "I'm in your hands. If I can't get myself out, I can stay on your ship forever and be your sailor for free."

"Is that a sure thing?" The captain thought this was a good deal.

"That's right." Gu Tingchen said with certainty.
