Chapter 1778: Chapter 1779: You Women Are So Troublesome
Rong Yan finally heard her familiar language and immediately focused her attention.
"No way, we left breathing holes for her."
The woman who had just spoken cursed irritably, "What do you know? Oriental girls are as fragile as chicks; a slight touch and they’ll fall apart. Those breathing holes are fine for us, but for her... it’s hard to say."
"I left seven or eight breathing holes, enough for three or four people to breathe."
"Stop yapping and open the box quickly, let me see."
Footsteps gradually surrounded them.
Rong Yan heard a man speaking with impatience in broken Hua Country language, "You women are so troublesome!"
"What did you say?" The female voice seemed to ignite, like an erupting volcano.
The man didn’t dare provoke her and mumbled as he changed the subject, "It’s open, look for yourself. The little chick will be fine, definitely still alive."
When the light came flooding in, Rong Yan held her breath and closed her eyes.
Unable to see, a person’s hearing becomes exceptionally keen, and she heard the few people above her talking.
"Look, her stomach is still moving, I told you, it’s not that easy to suffocate."
Someone pinched her chin and placed a hand on her neck to check her pulse, then withdrew it, saying, "Her body temperature is very low, don’t leave her in the container, find a room for her instead."
"Hey, are you serious, Meixi?"
"Anyway, we’ve cleared customs and are out of Hua Country’s maritime jurisdiction, what’s there to be afraid of."
"I’m not afraid, I just think it’s unnecessary. She’s just a hostage, ensuring she’s alive is enough. It doesn’t matter if her body temperature is high or low, as long as she’s breathing and can be used to threaten Mr. Li from Hua Country for ransom, she’s useless afterwards."
That cold hand touched her forehead again, and Rong Yan heard a young female voice say worriedly, "She seems to have a slight fever. There are no doctors at sea, so let’s move her to a room first. I’ll see if I can find someone with fever-reducing medicine to give her a pill."
"...Don’t you want the ransom? That big shot in Hua Country isn’t stupid. He’ll definitely demand a video confirmation of his wife’s safety before paying. If he sees the little chick looking sickly and barely hanging on, he’d definitely go crazy on us. We just want the money; there’s no need to provoke such a tough character."
She had already said this much, and the others seemed at a loss for words.
After a while, the man who had been arguing with her croaked, "We disguised ourselves as workers on this yacht to pass security. We’re all bunking in the same room; where are we to find her a separate room?"
Every luxury cruise ship has countless service staff, with the cheapest labor being seamen.
They could be refugees fleeing from war-torn countries, or illegal stowaways... they ask for half the wage of normal laborers, just lacking legal documentation photos. These workers are usually hidden in the cargo hold, and they sleep in the big shared rooms in the warehouse. It’s crowded and chaotic there, definitely unsuitable for bringing Rong Yan.
The woman called Meixi stared at Rong Yan’s striking appearance for a long time, "I share a room with three others, and her Oriental appearance is too conspicuous. It’s inconvenient for me to bring her over; others would get suspicious."
"You suggested taking her out, and now there’s no room, what do you propose?"
She supported her chin with one hand, pondering, then suddenly suggested, "How about letting her sleep in the boss’s room for a while?"
