After the auction, it was still Chen Yuan who took the money to meet with the small leader. This time, the small leader did not say much to Chen Yuan. He directly handed the slave to Chen Yuan. After counting the money, he left with his men.
Chen Yuan looked at the three slaves who were brought back from the auction, not knowing what to do with them. Seeing that one of the female slaves was seriously injured and the other two were also haggard, he could only arrange for someone to take the three of them away for resettlement. He first asked a doctor to check their bodies and then ordered the chef to prepare food for them.
After settling the three people, he went to Su Nuan's room to find Su Su Nuan to find out about Su Nuan's arrangements for the three people.
After Shen Yuan knocked on the door and entered, he started asking questions directly.
"Comrade Su Nuan, the people you auctioned have been brought here. One of the women looks seriously injured, and the other two are very weak and haggard. I've arranged for a doctor to examine them. What are your plans for these people?"
"I'll go see them first. Where are they? Take me to see them."
Shen Yuan led Su Nuan to a cabin lounge. After knocking on the door and entering, they found that it was arranged like a small infirmary. There were people lying on three beds. Although the other two were weak, they were still conscious. The other one was in a deep coma and the doctor was trying to save him.
After Su Nuan and Shen Yuan went in, they watched the doctor busy with the rescue, but did not disturb him and stood aside waiting.
Half an hour later, the doctor stopped rescuing things and began to treat the wounds. The unconscious woman on the bed had not only two gunshot wounds but also several knife wounds. The deepest one was on the shoulder blade, where the wound was so deep that the bone was visible. After the doctor finished treating her, Su Nuan hurried forward to ask.
"Doctor, how is she? Is her life in danger?"
"She's fine. She's lucky that none of her injuries were serious. However, due to excessive blood loss and lack of timely treatment, her wounds became infected. She was very weak and probably went into shock due to lack of nutrition because she hadn't eaten. Fortunately, she was rescued in time. If she had been a few hours later, she would have died."
"Then she should rest well now. Will there be any other sequelae after her injury heals?"
"If you take good care of it, you'll be fine."
"That's good. There are two more doctors. Please give them a detailed examination."
The doctor nodded and went to check on the other two.
The other two people were already in despair after being taken on board the ship. They had finally managed to smuggle themselves out of Country A and were preparing to return to their country to serve, but they encountered pirates and were now sold as slaves. They knew the fate of being bought and sold as slaves, so they had boarded the ship with the determination to die.
After the pirates handed them over, they were shocked to hear Shen Yuan speaking Chinese, but some hope arose in their hearts.
The two men were relieved when they were taken to the infirmary and watched the doctor doing his best to rescue the injured slaves. This group of people should be Chinese. Although their purpose was unclear, they seemed to have no ill intentions towards them. When the doctor came to examine the two men, they cooperated very well with the doctor's examination.
After the doctor finished the examination, he told Su Nuan and Shen Yuan.
"They must have been frightened for a long time and haven't eaten anything good. They are very weak and severely malnourished. The woman has a low-grade fever, but otherwise there are no problems. They will recover soon after proper treatment."
"Okay, thank you doctor. What can I do to wake up another unconscious woman?"
"She probably won't wake up until tomorrow morning. She's lost too much blood. It would have been best to give her a blood transfusion, but we don't have any blood bags. We can only give her nutrient solution and wait and see how she does after we get ashore."
"Okay, doctor, go ahead and do your thing. I'll talk to the other two."
After the doctor left, Su Nuan sent Shen Yuan out again. Su Nuan stood in front of the two scientists' beds and explained her purpose.
"Hello, Dr. Qian Peng, Dr. Li Yuan."
When they heard Su Nuan call out their names accurately, the two were shocked. Although Su Nuan was very friendly to them, she openly bought them at the high seas auction and knew their identities well. They had no idea whether they were enemies or friends.
Even the pirates only held them hostage as stowaways. They were very confused about how this young woman knew their identities. The two of them remained silent, waiting for Su Nuan to speak.
"You must be surprised how I know your true identities. What I can tell you is that you are safe for now. I will not harm you. On the contrary, after the auction is over, I can take you back to China."
Qian Peng couldn't help but ask.
"You are Chinese? What do you want?"
"Yes, I am Chinese. I don't want to gain anything from you. On the contrary, I can help you. As for your identities, I have my sources. Only those on this ship know your true identities, but please rest assured that I will not reveal them to anyone. After the auction, I will arrange for your safe return to China, and we will not have any other interactions after that. I sincerely hope that with scientists like you, our country will become stronger and stronger."
The two felt Su Nuan's kindness from her sincere words, and felt relieved. How many bad intentions could such a patriotic young person have?
Moreover, Su Nuan knew their identities clearly, and believed that Su Nuan was also well aware of the research results they carried with them. These research results were leading technologies in any country, and their important value was self-evident. If Su Nuan wanted to snatch their scientific research results, he would have started to do it long ago, and would not have treated them with such courtesy.
Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Su Nuan said a few more comforting words. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Su Nuan went forward to open the door.
Shen Yuan and the chef were standing outside the door, both holding trays. Su Nuan asked them to come in. The chef put the food on the tray on the bedside table and went out with the empty tray.
The two of them looked at the hot food for a long time without touching it, so Su Nuan reminded them.
"Don't just stand there, eat something quickly. You haven't had anything good to eat these days. Come on and eat."
The two of them then started to eat. Perhaps because they had been hungry for too long, they ate faster and faster. Although they were fast, it was obvious that they were well-educated, and their eating movements were still elegant.
After the two of them finished their meal, Su Nuan asked them to rest in peace, and she and Shen Yuan left the ward without disturbing them.
"Teacher Xiao Yuan, arrange for two people to guard this place at night. If there is any unusual movement from the pirates at night, they can provide timely protection. If there is no unusual movement, they can also help with any needs they have."
"Okay, Comrade Su Nuan, do you value these people?"
"Teacher Ohara, I can't say much else, but please believe me, I won't do anything that will harm the country. That couple will be of great use to you in the future, so take good care of them."
After hearing what Su Nuan said, Shen Yuan didn't bother to investigate further and did as Su Nuan arranged.
After Su Nuan returned to her room, the defenses around the ship were strengthened at night. However, as Su Nuan expected, the sea was calm that night and the pirates did not come to trouble them.
