"The general lifespan of a seagoing vessel is 35 years, and that of a riverboat is 39 years. How old is your ship?"
Captain: "This... thirty-eight years."
I turned around and stared coldly at the captain, who didn't dare to meet my gaze at all.
"Thirty-eight years! How much money are you willing to invest in repairing it?"
"Fix... fix it until it's fixed!"
"You mean you'll scrap it once it's fixed?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I slapped him across the face, sending him crashing into the wall.
"I'll give you one more chance."
The captain was so frightened that he crawled to me and cried out, "Mr. Zheng! Please spare me! I was forced into this!"
"It's Kaman from the US. He forced me to bring the ship over so they could pretend to be there for maintenance and see the condition of your oil wells."
I suspect they're not just looking; they probably want to cause some damage.
I kept my eyes on the captain and didn't look at Lu Qianning.
Actually, I went to all this trouble just to show Lu Qianning why I wasn't giving her face.
I suddenly reached out and grabbed Craig: "It's your turn."
This time, Lu Qianning didn't get involved and didn't say a word.
"Wh-what?"
"Whose idea was it for you to communicate with Qian Ning on their behalf and have this wrecked ship docked here?"
"I didn't! I just saw that they were all from the United States, so I said something to help them out."
I also want to foster greater harmony between British and American businessmen and Gaim Island, and between them and Qian Ning.
Damn it! My name is Qian Ning, and so is his.
"I'll give you one more chance. I'll hold off on hitting you for now, since you're Qian Ning's friend."
"Slap!" Before I could hit him, Lu Qianning stepped forward and slapped him.
"Speak! Who sent you here? What is your purpose in getting close to me?"
I was finally relieved; Lu Qianning understood my intention.
Craig was a little dazed from the blow, but then he grabbed my arm:
"Let me go!"
He certainly couldn't break free; my hand was still on his collar, completely still.
"You! Lu Qianning! Even if you don't acknowledge our friendship, I'm here on Gaim Island for tourism, a tourist, and this is how you treat me?"
I am from the United States, and you are trying to make enemies of the United States.
After he finished speaking, the British businessmen actually surrounded him:
"Release them."
“We have the right to appeal the way you treat our fellow citizens.”
"We are going to sue you in the International Court of Justice."
"Shut up!" I shouted, and with a force field, all the British merchants were pinned to the ground.
"I've given you the time of day. International Court of Justice, my foot! After I've finished my trial, we'll settle this score at the International Court of Justice."
