Chapter 203: Are they our people, or strangers?



Song Chenghou explained, "On Brother Jiang's ship, many things were stolen by bad guys..."

Shishi saw it too; many crew members were hurt by bad guys. After Brother Jiang goes back, he must take good care of the crew and prepare the cargo again...

So, I won't be able to come over for a while..."

"how long?"

Wen Shishi tilted her little head up and asked innocently.

Jiang Xinyu patted the top of her head, "Shishi, are you reluctant to part with your brother?"

Wen Shishi nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Xinyu smiled, "Brother Jiang promises you, I will definitely come back as soon as possible..."

Song Chenghou said gently, "Don't feel pressured. When you get back, the most important thing is to arrange things..."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, feeling extremely relaxed in front of his elder brother.

It seems like there are many things I haven't figured out yet, but my older brother is already thinking ahead of me.

"When we return, we must strengthen our defenses. This sea area..."

I'm afraid things won't be peaceful anymore!

Song Chenghou gave instructions, and Jiang Xinyu nodded, "I will, brother."

My father and Uncle Qin had already mobilized their elite troops for this trip. Unexpectedly...

Such a crushing defeat could only have been caused by my eldest brother, second brother, and sixth brother...

With everyone's help, no matter what forces we encounter, we will be powerless to fight back.

If the pirates don't make an offer, the next voyage will definitely not go smoothly.

Therefore, I estimate that my father will have to pay this money, even if it's difficult. Our family has gotten involved with the government; even if it's a losing proposition, we have to keep going...

However, Father should also increase manpower. Otherwise, being too weak and easily bullied will only embolden the other side!

Song Chenghou nodded in agreement, "Before you leave this time, you can leave behind two people who are familiar with the situation."

The loss of the Moon Pearl and agarwood belonging to the Chinese people involves a handover on shore...

Rather than finding out from others and then confronting them...

It would be better to proactively disclose this information; the injuries on the crew members' bodies serve as the best evidence.

If you promise to compensate for the losses in advance, the other party will not be in a difficult position.

Most importantly, we cannot let this incident damage the reputation of Jiang Family Shipping.

Regarding the compensation details, you can consult Uncle Qin. You can also discuss the remaining personnel with him.

Jiang Xinyu stood up and bowed deeply to Song Chenghou. "Thank you for your guidance, brother. That's exactly what I was thinking, but I was worried about disturbing you."

Originally, I planned to ask the abbot for help once Uncle Qin recovered...

Since my elder brother has brought it up, I won't stand on ceremony!

Song Chenghou patted Jiang Xinyu on the shoulder, "We're all family, no need for formalities."

The crew members were injured, and although the temple had enough food for the time being, they couldn't prepare meat to nourish their bodies...

It's more convenient here; they eat whatever we eat.

Without further ado, Jiang Xinyu headed towards the large ship to find Manager Qin.

A commotion arose from one side of the shore.

Fishermen and fisherwomen were gathered together, and it seemed that someone had been pulled out of the water and the fishermen were trying to rescue him.

Song Chenghou remained where he was, while Wen Shishi, hearing the noise, scratched her head in confusion.

The fishermen and their wives sighed with regret as they turned back to look for Song Chengfeng...

Seeing that he was standing next to Song Chenghou, he quickly begged to come over.

"Young Master, Sixth Young Master, someone has fallen into the water over there. Could you please go and check it out, Sixth Young Master?"

Song Chengfeng didn't rush off. Song Chenghou spoke up, "Brother, may I ask who fell into the water..."

"Is it one of our people, or someone we don't know?"

The fisherman was taken aback. "Oh! It's someone we don't know. We just got off the boat and saw him in the water, so we rushed over..."

Seeing Song Chengfeng frown, the fisherman explained, "We all make our living from the water. If we see someone fall into the water, we'll help them out..."

Because we never know when we might end up in the water...

Song Chenghou smiled and nodded, seeking Song Chengfeng's opinion. Seeing that he had no objections...

Song Chengxi, the eighth son, followed.

Song Chenghou gestured with his eyes, signaling Song Chengxi to pay attention to the man's identity.

Song Chengxi nodded in understanding and went into the crowd with Song Chengfeng.

The fishermen and their wives stepped aside, and Song Chengxi knelt down first to check that the man had no daggers or swords...

That's how Song Chengfeng got close.

Song Chengfeng moved swiftly, turning the drowning person face down and compressing their stomach to expel the water...

He drew silver needles from his robes and swiftly inserted them into acupoints such as Yongquan, Neiguan, and Guanyuan...

The movements were so fast that onlookers couldn't keep up...

The drowning person slowly opened their eyes.

Just then, Jiang Xinyu disembarked with two crew members who had recovered well.

They were likely crew members who intended to remain ashore and inform the people in China that the cargo had been hijacked.

Following the Song family's gaze, Jiang Xinyu and the crew looked over. "Big brother, what's wrong?"

"They say someone confirmed it, and it just so happens that our fishermen discovered it..."

Song Chenghou emphasized the word "just right".

From Jiang Xinyu's direction, the drowning victim's appearance could be vaguely seen because the fishermen and their wives had pushed the area aside.

Upon seeing this, the two crew members immediately became tense!
