With so many people on board, supplies were consumed very quickly. Even providing them with the minimum supply of food and fresh water would still be a huge burden for the Qianlong.
Chu Beichen was not a kind-hearted person. He did not resort to lynching to interrogate these people, but simply reduced the supply of materials to them to the minimum.
These criminals were protesting at the beginning, but Chu Beichen treated them inhumanely. By the next day, they were so hungry that they couldn't even cry out, and they all lay obediently in the bottom cabin.
The three women were also locked up. Chu Beichen was not worried at all that they would unite to resist, because the sealing effect of the Qianlong was very good. Once the bottom hatch was closed, no one could escape.
Two days later, the ship arrived safely at the next port. Chu Beichen went to the local port in person to report the case and handed over all those who attempted to hijack the Qianlong by force to the police.
The police were very surprised. They immediately took the prisoner and began to investigate. After the investigation, they soon came to a surprising conclusion.
These people are not good men and women, nor are they tourists. They are a group of pirates hovering in this sea area.
Due to their tight organization, these pirates succeeded repeatedly, but they did not expect to run into a snag in front of Chu Beichen.
As for the first mate, he was bribed by this group of pirates when he was in the country and sold his employer's information to the pirates in exchange for a generous reward.
Unfortunately, the first mate had been targeted by Sha Qilin early on, and the positioning equipment he used to contact the pirates to provide the location was also thrown into the sea near the Time Island by Sha Qilin, thus preventing the Qianlong from being targeted by the pirate organization later.
It took several days to wait for the follow-up results at the dock, and it seemed that the journey would take longer than originally planned.
This encounter at sea ended without any danger. After three days, Chu Beichen and his group continued their journey.
A day later, they arrived at York Harbor where Chu Nancheng was going to attend the award ceremony.
On the way, Chu Nancheng carefully explained to everyone what kind of award ceremony this was.
It turned out that the award Chu Nancheng won was not a writing award, but a nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film Screenplay Award at a film festival.
The film festival was naturally very lively. After Chu Beichen arrived at the dock, he found that there were many ships docked in the port.
York Harbor is relatively large and the security is relatively good. After Chu Beichen arranged the work on the ship, he went ashore with everyone as planned.
After getting ashore, Chu Beichen discovered that the person everyone was talking about the most was an actress named Josephine.
"What a shame! Josephine could have been in the running for Best Actress, but I heard something happened to her face and she couldn't even attend the awards ceremony!"
"Is it disfigured? Could it be caused by trauma?"
"I heard Josephine has a very rare disease that makes her ugly!"
"It's truly terrifying that there's such a disease. But I'm also curious, what disease could turn the beautiful Josephine into an ugly person?"
Chu Beichen and his friends were in the cafe, sipping delicious coffee while listening to people at the next table discussing Josephine.
"I've been hearing this woman's name these days, and now I'm starting to wonder what happened to her?" Sha Qilin said with a smile.
"Su Nian, is there really a disease that can make people ugly?" This is the question that Chu Beichen is most concerned about.
Su Nian smiled and nodded, "Of course there are, and some diseases have a very rapid onset, and can cause changes to a person's face in just half a month!"
Su Nian's words caused a sigh from her friends. Suddenly becoming ugly was something no one could bear.
Just at this moment, an advertisement was broadcast on the bar's LCD screen, attracting everyone's attention.
