Gu Jingheng didn't know how to operate a ship, so he didn't interfere at the moment. He went into the cabin as the captain asked.
The ship was rocking so violently that Gu Jingheng staggered. Using the direction of the ship's tilt, he pushed open the cabin doors one by one. Finally, in a room in the middle, he saw a group of people crying with their heads in their hands in fear!
