Chapter 1278 Are you repaying me or harming me?
The roar of engines echoed from the sky as two helicopters approached. Khedira directed the landing. The Luna touched down simultaneously on both helipads. It must be said that Kasin and Hua Chong's piloting skills were quite impressive.
"Brother Xiao, you're getting lazier!" Chen Zetao walked in and said, "You're too lazy to even go out and pick us up?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "I'm really too lazy to go out. It's too cold. Shanhe, are you moving quickly?"
Zhao Shanhe and a girl came with Chen Zetao. Zhao Shanhe returned to China to deliver clothes for the crew on Xiao Peng's ship.
Zhao Shanhe said with a smile, "How can I not be quick? Wouldn't it be a sin for me to delay your shipwreck salvage? Let me introduce you..." He pointed at the girl behind him and was about to introduce her, but Xiao Peng interrupted him and said to Chen Zetao, "Brother Chen, if you keep saying that I spend all my time in debauchery, I'll really get angry with you! I'm far inferior to Shanhe! Look at him, he always brings a different girl with him. Compared to him, I'm really loyal. Look at him, he always brings a different girl with him!"
After he finished speaking, he found that Zhao Shanhe and Chen Zetao were looking at him with strange eyes, and the girl's expression when she looked at Xiao Peng was also very strange.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Peng was confused.
Zhao Shanhe pointed at the girl and asked Xiao Peng, "You really don't know her?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I don't have any impression! Is this a domestic film and television star? Quite young! A newcomer?"
Chen Zetao suddenly laughed: "Brother Xiao, I'm convinced by you!"
Xiao Peng asked in confusion: "What on earth are you guys talking to me about? Walter!"
"Boss, what's wrong?" Walter asked puzzledly.
Xiao Peng pointed at Chen Zetao and Zhao Shanhe and said, "If they keep being secretive to me, tell Old Liu that he won't feed them!"
"Don't worry!" Chen Zetao said, "If you don't take care of our food out here at sea, won't we starve to death?"
"Then why are you beating around the bush with me?" Xiao Peng looked the girl up and down: "I really don't know her!"
Chen Zetao laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, you saved her, but don't you know what she is like?"
Zhao Shanhe gave the answer: "Brother, this is Zeng Yaya, whom you rescued from the snowy mountains!"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng jumped up from the sofa after hearing this. He looked at the girl carefully. To be honest, although he rescued Zeng Yaya that day, he really didn't take a close look at her appearance. In order to keep her warm, Xiao Peng immediately wrapped his mask and other things around Zeng Yaya. Although she opened her eyes once in the middle, she closed them again in just a moment. It would be strange if he could recognize her.
"Are you Zeng Yaya? Are you discharged from the hospital? Are you okay?" Xiao Peng asked quickly.
Zeng Yaya nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Xiao. I came to thank you for saving my life. I heard everything that happened that day. You risked your own life and rushed up the snowy mountain to save mine..."
Xiao Peng felt a little embarrassed: "Stop, that's enough! In that situation, any man would lend a hand. In fact, it was Shanhe who wanted to save you that day, and I just stole the limelight."
Zhao Shanhe said from the side: "Come on, it's a good thing you went up that day. If I had gone up, I would have only saved one life."
Chen Zetao asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, why are you suddenly so rude? You don't even let the girl finish her words?"
Zhao Shanhe coughed dryly twice and said, "I know why. He's afraid Zeng Yaya will tell him she'll be his slave in her next life to repay him."
"Is there any problem with this?" Chen Zetao was confused.
Zhao Shanhe then explained to Chen Zetao the difference between "working like a slave in the next life" and "please devote yourself to me." Chen Zetao laughed, "I'm old now, I don't understand your witty remarks."
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at Zhao Shanhe and said, "You're the only one who talks too much! Zeng Yaya, right? Don't take this matter to heart. Those who survive a great disaster will surely be blessed in the future. Cherish your life from now on."
Zeng Yaya nodded after hearing this.
"Tsk tsk, brother, why are you still shy?" Zhao Shanhe teased.
Xiao Peng gave him a middle finger and said, "Shanhe, I remember Zeng Yaya was supposed to be in Germany for treatment, right? Did you go to Germany again?"
Chen Zetao, who was standing nearby, responded, "I did go to Germany! And I want to pass on a message from the German ambassador: Don't go to Germany anymore!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this, then he said angrily, "Why? If I don't go to Germany, what will happen to the Tri-State Salvage Alliance? Why won't they let me go?"
Chen Zetao laughed and said, "He was just saying it out of anger. You just left your job there and ran away, leaving him with a lot of trouble. This is a case of intentional homicide, after all. He's been running around all day. Should we take care of them? They did violate domestic laws. If we ignore them, we'll have to face domestic public pressure."
"Public pressure?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "What public pressure?"
Zhao Shanhe responded to this question: "A bunch of people are talking nonsense, saying it wasn't intentional and the person wasn't dead, so why should it be sentenced as premeditated murder? Then a group of public intellectuals are trying to drum up support for this, saying it's a sign of diplomatic weakness."
"Tsk." Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "Saudi public intellectual Jamal Khashoggi died, but our domestic public intellectuals didn't say anything; the US formed an alliance with seven Islamic monarchies and a military junta, but the public intellectuals didn't say anything; the US bombed an Iranian general, but the public intellectuals said it was a good killing because Iran was so evil... and now they're stirring up this kind of rhetoric again?"
Chen Zetao said, "They're not the most troublesome ones. The most troublesome one is Miss Zeng Yaya!"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng looked at Zeng Yaya.
Chen Zetao said, "Zeng Yaya should be assisting the German police with their case, but she's on a hunger strike and insists on seeing you to thank you in person. This little girl is incredibly stubborn, so I went to Germany first and brought her here. I'll fulfill her wish and then send her back."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Zeng Yaya, your first priority should be cooperating with the German police to handle your case, not running here!"
Zeng Yaya said, "Mr. Xiao, you are so noble that you saved people without asking for anything in return. However, as the one you saved, I can't remain silent. So no matter what, I must thank you in person."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Okay, you're right. How are you going to thank me then? Don't say anything like 'give me your body' or 'work like a slave in your next life' or anything like that. I can't handle that! But don't even think about buying me any gifts. I don't need anything, so I really don't need anything in return."
Chen Zetao and Zhao Shanhe laughed: "Brother Xiao is shy, how rare!"
Xiao Peng gave the two of them the middle finger.
After hearing this, Zeng Yaya said without hesitation: "Mr. Xiao, I want to work for you!"
"...Are you planning on repaying me or harming me?"
