Chapter 73 Taking Risks
The children's trust and admiration for soldiers are ingrained in their bones. The little boy looked at Huo Jinzhi with anticipation in his eyes.
But he remained silent, not knowing what to say in the face of those eyes filled with hope.
The little boy's clothes were tattered and ill-fitting. I don't know who they belonged to. He was very thin, with bones sticking out. The skin and flesh covered the bones, which looked out of place.
There were still some scars on his body that looked like they had been whipped, and they had obviously not healed completely, and his fingers were curled up as much as possible.
But with Huo Jinzhi's keenness from years of military service, he still noticed that there was something wrong with his fingers. These were their people and the people that soldiers should protect, but they still let these children get hurt.
Just now, when they went in, Huo Jinzhi took a quick look and saw dozens of little ones, not to mention some children who could not be exposed.
To put it bluntly, this place is now a den where bandits are rampant!
"We will never let you down. Not only that, I will really help you." Chen Zhu reached out and touched the little boy's hair, and gave him a few big unity notes.
This fortune made the originally silent little boy open his eyes wide in disbelief, with a hint of surprise in his black eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head to refuse.
"Don't refuse, take it first, otherwise we may not have the chance to meet again." Chen Zhuyi said softly.
Businessmen pursue profit, and these people are no exception.
The two of them quickly went upstairs and returned to Chen Zhuyi's room. Huo Jinzhi already understood her intention of giving money. At this moment, his eyes were complicated and he didn't know what to say.
"Those people are so bold that they not only catch children, but also adults." Chen Zhuyi said, pointing his finger downwards.
In addition to children who can be easily fooled, these people should have other innocent people in their hands.
Human life itself is a kind of wealth. These foreigners are so arrogant. They took the opportunity to arrest people and even wanted to take them away by using this cruise ship!
"The best solution is to start from Tom." Huo Jinzhi pointed to the house not far away.
If it is for the appearance of peace between the two countries, then these outsiders should bow their heads instead of causing so much trouble!
"They are in cahoots with each other. How can you guarantee that Tom is not part of their plan?"
Although Huo Jinzhi believed Tom, Chen Zhuyi felt that this was more like part of some plan.
This cruise ship didn't just arrive today, and these people should be aware of the cruise ship's secret missions!
"If that's the case, then he shouldn't have brought the two of us up here. No matter what... I still want to try to trust him." Huo Jinzhi looked at Chen Zhuyi's alert little face and said this with a little hesitation.
Friends may not be trustworthy, and their plan this time is equivalent to handing their lives over to someone else.
However, communication between the two countries is also a very important matter, and they cannot neglect one while focusing on the other!
"If you really think they are trustworthy, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Chen Zhu thought about it one by one and was still willing to give these foreign friends some trust. Many things cannot be done by one person alone.
If they don't want to end up in war, they must seek help from other people here.
So, Tom was called here very quickly. There was still some confusion in his blue eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't understand the current situation.
"I heard that there was something important, so I came here. Have you... encountered any trouble that is difficult to solve?" Tom asked Chen Zhuyi directly.
Regarding what happened on the cruise ship, Chen Zhu spoke calmly and tried to tell everything without bias.
However, anyone could sense the suppressed anger in his tone.
Tom, who felt he was in the wrong, frowned, his eyes growing serious. "I'll investigate this matter as soon as possible, but... I can't guarantee I'll find out."
"We're having some fights here too, so I can't help you guys, sorry."
At this moment, the only thing Tom could do was to show his sincerity and bow to them, his eyes showing a little embarrassment, as if he was forced into a desperate situation.
Chen Zhuyi pulled the corner of his lips, revealing a slightly mocking expression, and facing this scene, Huo Jinzhi could only smile bitterly.
"Please find a way to delay your departure from here so that we can do more. We will try our best not to use force to solve the problem." Huo Jinzhi looked at his embarrassed expression and spoke, and Chen Zhuyi gave a simple translation.
Although he still felt embarrassed, Tom nodded reluctantly and immediately went to discuss it with someone.
Looking at his back, Chen Zhuyi and Huo Jinzhi looked at each other in tacit understanding.
The two walked out together, and the wet and salty sea breeze blew over. Neither of them had a calm expression, but they both knew very clearly that time was running out.
If someone is really colluding in secret to set up this scheme, they won’t be left with much time!
"If we go any further, we'll alert the enemy. We..." Huo Jinzhi couldn't help but sigh in annoyance. They were temporarily trapped here by all this, unable to struggle and in a dilemma.
"Let's find something to eat first to fill our stomachs." Chen Zhu shook his head, not intending to trap himself here to death, and said with a smile.
Only when you are well fed and well-drinking can you have more energy to think about these trivial things.
As the food gradually entered his stomach, his scattered thoughts gradually became clear. Chen Zhuyi winked at Huo Jinzhi and came up with a bolder plan.
If you don't learn the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub?
If those people were really anxious, they would only think about making the inappropriate voice disappear. Now is the best time for them to take action!
"I want to take the risk and ask for help from my master. If everything goes well, we can all get out safely." Chen Zhu lowered his voice and revealed his plan. His figure was reflected in his bright black eyes.
After hearing the plan, Huo Jinzhi simply shook his head, with no disguising the resistance in his eyes, and even a hint of chilliness in his eyes.
This disapproving attitude also made Chen Zhu frown, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
No matter what, she was willing to support Huo Jinzhi's idea. Couldn't this man be more frank?
"You are a girl after all. It's easy to say that you are taking risks, but it costs human lives." Huo Jinzhi explained his reasons.
