Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 968 The Storm is Coming (1/2)

Soon, Liu Qingshan and Jack saw a large group of hostages sitting on a piece of sand and basking in the sun.

Bathing in the summer sun, they were all getting sunburned.

"Oh, Jack, Jack!" With a hoarse voice, a fat woman rushed over.

A fat boy followed behind, shouting as he ran: "Dad, Dad!"

"Oh, Ruth, you're so thin from hunger!"

Jack and his wife hugged each other, and he wanted to swing his wife around to express his excitement, but unfortunately his strength didn't allow it.

This scene was quite touching, and even reminded Liu Qingshan of the romantic love story that had happened on the sunken ship.

But the scene in front of him made people want to laugh. Jack and Ruth looked a little miserable.

"Dad, are you here to save us?" The fat boy also joined in.

Jack nodded heavily: "Baby, we can go home!"

"Dad, you are so great, even better than Superman!"

The fat boy looked at his father with admiration, and the family of three hugged each other, the scene was very warm.

Liu Qingshan walked around the family of three, and then saw the journalist friends and the crew members.

The group of people brought from Lilan looked more relaxed; and the hired sailors and the staff on the tugboat cried with joy after seeing Liu Qingshan.

The journalist friends were even more excited, hugged Liu Qingshan tightly, and they all felt the warmth from their friends.

"Mountain, it's great that you can come!" Reporter John patted Liu Qingshan's back hard.

"Mountain, are you here to redeem us?" Another reporter asked with concern.

Liu Qingshan nodded: "I will never abandon my friends."

At this time, a large group of pirates came over, carrying various foods and mineral water, and distributed them to the hostages.

In fact, these people were not abused, but they were definitely frightened.

Everyone drank a bottle of water and felt much more energetic. As for food, they had eaten a lot in the morning, but there was no fresh water on the island, so they were a little thirsty.

"Honey, can we get on the boat first?"

Jack had already paid the money, and he led his wife in one hand and his fat son in the other, with a happy face. This guy is really a qualified man.

Liu Qingshan decided to ask Longteng Company to do more business with this guy in the future, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

And Ruth looked at the boxes of food and local barbecue, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva:

"Honey, let's eat them again and try to save some losses."

This is really an interesting couple.

Liu Qingshan also accompanied the reporters and crew to have lunch, and then returned to the cargo ship alone.

"I will try to bring the money tomorrow!" Liu Qingshan waved goodbye.

"Mountain, we are not in a hurry. The food here is good, and the pirates are also nice to us." Reporter John also waved his arms.

After learning that the ransom for each of them required 500,000 US dollars, the reporters were even more moved and recognized Liu Qingshan as their friend.

However, the amount involved was too large, and Liu Qingshan could not withdraw so much money from the bank, so he could only let the reporters suffer for another day.

When Liu Qingshan and his cargo ship left the island, they met several warships along the way.

Apparently, the Strait Guard also found out the location of the pirates, but they still would not attack rashly, and it would be a big trouble if they accidentally hurt the hostages.

Liu Qingshan and his party returned to the City Hall, and Jack's family of three finally reunited, but they did not choose to leave, and they had to ask the government for money.

Other ship owners gathered around to inquire about the situation, and Ruth, a former hostage, had the most say:

"Those pirates are quite professional and did not abuse us. The only bad thing is that they provide too little food!"

Everyone looked at her waist and was somewhat speechless.

Some people also asked Liu Qingshan, because among the victims, Liu Qingshan suffered the greatest loss, and he was also the leader of the group.

Liu Qingshan's explanation was also relatively objective: the environment on the island was a bit worse, but after the daily necessities and food were transported there, basic living security was still no problem.

As for the pirates, as long as their financial demands were met, they would not harm the hostages.

The ship owners were relieved. Some of them had originally thought of paying the ransom themselves, but now they have given up the idea: rely on the government, anyway, you have to solve the problem in the end.

In fact, Liu Qingshan did not want to ransom people. After all, the more hostages there are, the greater the pressure on the Yibao government.

Especially those reporters, they are the top priority.

But if the ransom is not paid, it will seem that Liu Qingshan is not righteous, and he will be known as a ruthless and ungrateful person, which is a loss for the greater good.

Besides, after the ransom goes around, it will definitely return to Liu Qingshan's hands, and it's a matter of handing it over from one hand to the other.

He has no losses, but other ship owners can't. Asking them to pay real money is like cutting meat.

So the mayor was besieged by the ship owner again, and the media had heard the news and intervened one after another, and the pressure from the municipal government was also very great.

But if he took the money, he was really unwilling to do so, which was really a tricky matter.

No matter how things developed, daily living supplies must be guaranteed.

The next day, Liu Qingshan followed the transport ship to the island again to prepare to redeem the people.

The amount involved was too large, and Liu Qingshan did not bring any cash. After meeting Aidid, after some negotiations, it was decided that the Rainbow City of Lilan would transfer the payment to the pirates.

The pirates agreed readily, but they did not release the hostages.

Aidid made a request: "Get us a big ship, take these hostages back to Lilan, and then release the hostages."

He also knew that only by holding the hostages firmly in his hands could he ensure his safety.

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to explain to the reporters and promised to double the remuneration for the reporters.

Those reporters almost burst into tears of gratitude when they heard that Liu Qingshan was willing to pay five times the ransom.

As for not being able to regain freedom for the time being, it was nothing. There was food and drink, and at most one month would pass.

In the afternoon, Lieutenant General Yilmaz personally went to the island to negotiate with the pirates.

After much persuasion, the ransom was reduced to 20,000 US dollars per hostage, but Liu Qingshan, who was deeply hated by the pirates, did not pay a penny less.

Liu Qingshan was also straightforward and promised the city government that he would make up the extra money.

The ransom was in place, and the negotiations finally saw hope. After two days of consultation, the matter was finally settled.

Iburg paid a total of 4.2 million US dollars in ransom to the pirates.

The pirate leader Aidid happened to be interested in Liu Qingshan's aircraft carrier and wanted to take it back to Lilan.

After discussing it, Iburg agreed. After all, they were thankful to be able to send these plague gods away.

As for the aircraft carrier crossing the strait, it was a small matter. Anyway, after such a commotion, they had a reason to explain to the mastermind behind it.

In this way, Liu Qingshan's aircraft carrier finally set sail again after more than ten days of anchoring.

With warships leading the way in front and warships escorting in the back, the Coast Guard was really scared. They were worried that these pirates would do something else, so they quickly sent them away.

All the hostages were concentrated on the aircraft carrier, which had complete facilities, enough rooms, a restaurant, and even an entertainment room.

Anyway, the hostages couldn't escape on the aircraft carrier unless they jumped into the sea.

The only problem was that the food expenses for these hundreds of people needed to be provided by Liu Qingshan, the ship owner.

Liu Qingshan complained, but he was happy in his heart: if he could get the aircraft carrier back with a little money, it would be a big profit.

This special fleet finally passed through the Bosphorus Strait smoothly and entered the Marmara Sea in the middle section. In front of it was the Dardanelles Strait. After passing through, it finally left the Black Sea, a place that was so suffocating, and entered the Mediterranean. wAp.

At this moment, Liu Qingshan's heart suddenly became clear: he had finally passed the most difficult journey.

In front of him was the sea of ​​stars, and from then on, the sea was wide and the fish could jump.

However, Liu Qingshan's good mood did not last too long. A day later, the sea suddenly changed and a storm hit.

In the vast sea, there is no temporary stop. Even a giant aircraft carrier is tossed up and down in the waves, which makes the passengers on the aircraft carrier tremble with fear.

Compared with the power of nature, even the mobile fortress built by humans is too small.

The wind is howling on the sea, and people dare not go out of the cabin. If they go out, they will be swept away by the hurricane.

Everyone can only hide in the cabin and pray devoutly.

Whether it is pirates or hostages, everyone has put down their respective positions.

At this time, different beliefs can be seen, and all kinds of gods have appeared.

"Don't worry, we will definitely get through the difficulties!"

Liu Qingshan led Chen Dongfang, Li Tie and others to wander between the cabins, constantly stabilizing people's hearts.

At this time, what is most needed is to help each other.

If someone can't hold on, has a mental breakdown, and an accident happens, Liu Qingshan may feel guilty for the rest of his life.

After all, these people are gathered together because of him.

At this time, the walkie-talkie in Chen Dongfang's hand suddenly rang. The signal was very unstable. After a long time, the sound came out.

It was a call from the tugboat in front: the cable towing the aircraft carrier could not withstand the huge wind and waves, and one of them had broken.

The remaining two tugboats were also in a precarious situation.

While communicating, Liu Qingshan clearly felt that the aircraft carrier suddenly paused, and then began to retreat rapidly.

No, all the cables were broken. Now the aircraft carrier has completely become a kite with a broken line. Who knows where it will be washed by the waves?

The people on the aircraft carrier were even more panicked. Some people have begun to sob. Facing the unknown fate, the fear in everyone's heart has been infinitely magnified.

Liu Qingshan had no choice. In this situation, he could only leave it to fate.

However, the atmosphere in the cabin was too depressing. Liu Qingshan still shouted loudly: "Don't worry, our aircraft carrier will definitely not sink."

"As long as you are alive, I guarantee that everyone can return to their hometown safely!"

This still played a certain role, and everyone's emotions gradually stabilized: Yes, only life is the most important.

Only at this moment, the fame and fortune that we used to pursue every day will be completely abandoned.

Aidid also found his conscience: "If we can escape safely this time, I will return all your ransoms!"

There was a cheer in the cabin. The money has been paid by the Turkish government. If the pirates return them, it will be equivalent to earning 20,000 US dollars.

Aidid snorted twice: "Don't be too happy, wait until we are out of trouble."

Liu Qingshan also stepped forward: "Mr. Aidid, what about the 500,000 each of our group? Do we also need to return it?"

"Dream." Aidid was still tough on his words, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"It's not fair. For the sake of everyone being in the same boat, it's okay to return half of it."

Liu Qingshan said pitifully, making everyone laugh. The tense atmosphere was diluted a lot.

The hurricane lasted for a full day before pouring rain from the sky.

The rain fell and the wind stopped, the aircraft carrier also stopped, and Liu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the Titanic scene did not happen.

Li Tieniu went out to check in the rain and reported back: "Our aircraft carrier has run aground. This seems to be a beach."

Judging from the slight impact I just felt, it should be a beach and will basically not cause damage to the aircraft carrier.

"We don't know which country the strong wind will blow to?" Reporter John still had a fantasy. It would be great if the wind blew directly to the British Isles. He would reach home directly.

Liu Qingshan chuckled: "As long as it's not the country of adults or the country of Lilliput."

Everyone has basically read Gulliver's Travels, so they all smiled knowingly. The aircraft carrier was stranded. At least it would not continue to float on the sea, and everyone felt at ease.

Jack yawned and pulled his wife, who was several times thicker than him, "Honey, it's time for us to go to bed."

When they said this, everyone felt that their eyelids were trembling, and a huge feeling of fatigue came over them.

So they returned to their respective cabins and soon began to snore.

I can finally have a good night's sleep.

But Liu Qingshan couldn't sleep. He, Chen Dongfang and others had been contacting the tugboat.

However, due to the wind and rain, I was unable to contact him for the time being.

It wasn't until the heavy rain outside stopped that Liu Qingshan and the others boarded the deck.

It was early morning, the dark clouds in the sky had gradually dispersed, and thousands of rays of rays of light were shooting out from the east.

Everyone involuntarily spread their arms, embraced the sunshine, and then hugged each other tightly. This feeling of surviving the disaster is simply wonderful.

After the surprise passed, I looked at the surrounding environment. The shore was indeed an endless stretch of beach, with no buildings in sight.

Everyone got together to study it and decided to send a small team to go ashore to investigate.

But before they could take action, a small fishing boat sailed up the sea. There were three or four people on the boat, who were looking at the stranded behemoth in surprise.

"Hi!"

Li Tieniu roared and waved his arms vigorously.

Perhaps because he was feeling happy in his heart, this guy even started joking and asked at the top of his lungs:

"Is this the Earth? Are we from Mars?"

Then I saw the small boat turning its bow and sailing away at speed.

"Lee, we're going to throw you into the ocean!"

John led a group of reporters and surrounded Li Tieniu.

Cheerful laughter echoed on the deck.

March, early spring.

Only blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper were left, indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck deep in the mud, full of sadness. Only an abandoned rabbit doll hung on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerieness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some residual resentment, looking lonely at the mottled rocks in front of them.

There, a figure was lying down.

This was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes were torn and covered with dirt, and he had a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
