584: Chapter 52: Continuation 584: Chapter 52: Continuation What happened later?

Of course, we safely overcame the crisis, thanks to everyone’s efforts.

Sitting by the window of a restaurant with a great view on the Baiyu Cruise, Subeditor Ren was tapping on her laptop, typing intermittently for quite a while.

Lizi brought over a plate of sumptuous food and sat across from Ren Ziling. “Sister Ren, are you writing that strange stories notebook again to tell your future grandchildren?”

Ren Ziling shook her head and just watched the seascape outside.

The Baiyu Cruise had resumed its voyage, but the number of visible tourists had noticeably declined once more since setting sail again.

Ren Ziling suddenly pulled out a document and placed it in front of Lizi. “Sign it.” “What is this?” “A confidentiality agreement from the Fox Spirit,” Ren Ziling said indifferently. “Sign it, or there won’t be a place in this country where you can stay if you start blabbering.

I doubt your small frame would even last a day on the run.” “Just one agreement is enough?” Lizi blinked. “What else can we do?” Ren Ziling rolled her eyes. “What, are we going to get us all, including Old Ma, arrested?

Though she’s a Fox Spirit, at least she has a bit of love involved… wouldn’t bear to.”

Lizi curiously asked, “Sister Ren, are you actually good friends with that Ali lady?” “Bah!” Ren Ziling spat with a look of disdain.

Lizi giggled, then also glanced out the window…

Evening was approaching, and after tonight, the Baiyu Cruise would probably arrive around six or seven in the morning.

Lizi suddenly propped her chin up, her eyes darting around. “Hmm… this holiday really is nice, spies, treasures, black boxes, murder cases, treasure hunters, ah… such fun.

But I wonder what will happen to the old captain, I really hope he’s okay.” “The Fox Spirit has been keeping Mu Enli in custody, probably the investigative spirit has kicked in,” Ren Ziling shook her head. “Still haven’t seen him come out.

Old Ma said it’s best not to ask too much about the murder… never mind, let’s not ask.

After all, there are plenty of unclear things in this world… let’s just play dumb!” “That’s so unlike you, Sister Ren,” Lizi said in surprise.

Ren Ziling looked at the busy figures of the crew on the deck and said softly, “Probably, they don’t want to know either.” “What are they doing?”

Ren Ziling said, “Isn’t the Baiyu Cruise about to retire?

They’re probably preparing for the last celebration or something.

But for this ship to make it through, perhaps there’s something mysteriously protecting it, right?” “Luo Qiu and You Ye are here!” Lizi said, looking at the entrance of the restaurant.

Ren Ziling was startled, quickly tidied up her things, stood up suddenly, pumped her fist for encouragement, and then marched towards the beverage area like a warrior going to battle. “Sigh, here she goes again, so persistent…” Lizi shook her head.

Before long, Boss Luo and You Ye arrived.

Lizi glanced at the two of them, marveling at how relaxed they always seemed to be… perhaps they were the most comfortable ones throughout the entire incident?

Maybe, as Ren Ziling said, sometimes it’s better not to know?

Lizi smiled slightly. “Miss Lizi.” You Ye greeted softly. “Have a seat, everyone,” Lizi gestured with her hand. “But I’m going to start eating first!”

Luo Qiu gave a simple smile, pulled out a chair for You Ye, and then sat down himself. “You guys are here too!”

Miss Ren came over with a tray, bringing three drinks. “Perfect timing!

Have some drinks to refresh yourselves!

You Ye, this is yours!

Kid, this is yours!”

Looking at the yellow-orange liquid in front of him, Luo Qiu asked calmly, “What is this?” “Mango juice!

Can’t you tell?” Ren Ziling rolled her eyes. “Why do you look so disgusted?

Afraid I poisoned it?

Look how well-behaved You Ye is… she even thanked me!”

Boss Luo nodded, simply reached for the drink… this time.

And then. “Wow!

Mango juice!

This is great!

I love it!!”

It was a voice everyone was familiar with.

Next, a big hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the cup, and drank it in one gulp without a word, finishing with a satisfied burp…

Officer Ma! “Hmm!

Tastes pretty good, Ziling, is it over there?

I’ll have another!” Officer Ma exclaimed. “I’ve been busy all day, I’m really thirsty…

Ziling?

Ziling?

What’s wrong?

You look a bit off?” “Ma!

Hou!

De!!” Ren Ziling grabbed Officer Ma’s shoulders and raised her head like a ghost, “You’re… dead meat!” “Wha… what’s wrong now?”

Officer Ma shivered instinctively… feeling something really bad was coming?

It was a dinner that made Officer Ma feel chilly down his spine the whole time. … …

After closing the notebook and turning off the recording setup on the table, in the old captain’s room, Ali stood up and pulled open the curtain slightly. “We’ll continue to follow up on these matters later,” Ali said calmly. “But you must behave yourself.”

Apart from the old captain, Mu Qinghai was also present.

Ali turned around, leaned against the window, and looked at them. “There’s no need to act like this.

Mu Enli, strictly speaking, you haven’t really committed any major crimes.

Furthermore, back then, stopping this black box could be considered the right course of action.

And now you’ve willingly handed it over.

I’ll apply for leniency on your behalf when we return.” “Whatever,” Mu Enli shook his head slightly. “As for you, Mu Qinghai, I can’t give you a definitive answer on your situation for now,” Ali said seriously. “Others will probably continue to follow up on you.

However, as long as you don’t make any mistakes, we won’t give you a hard time.”

Mu Qinghai nodded silently and suddenly asked, “Will… will I be able to see my father again in the future?”

The old captain’s body trembled slightly.

Ali thought for a while before saying, “Don’t imagine us as being so iron-blooded.

If the application is approved, you can still meet.”

Mu Qinghai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ali looked at the time and suddenly said, “There are twelve hours until we arrive tomorrow, so you can move around freely for now…

Of course, under my sight.

Especially the captain, you mustn’t be more than five meters away from me.”

The two simultaneously looked at Ali in astonishment.

Ali suddenly smiled gently, like a caring big sister, and softly said, “Go on, those crew members are waiting for you to join them for a drink.” …

Although the tourists felt quite dissatisfied due to many issues and generally didn’t show a good attitude toward the crew… the crew didn’t care at all.

The arrival tomorrow also signifies the official retirement of the Baiyu Cruise.

For this occasion, nearly all the crew, except those who must stay at their posts, have gathered on the deck.

They brought many tables filled with sumptuous food.

Of course, there are plenty of bottles of fine wine.

For those at sea, what could be better than having a joyful gathering at this final moment?

Crew members from all over showed off their unique skills.

The old captain sat in the middle of everyone, laughing and joking with them.

His collection had been brought out long ago and was now consumed by everyone.

Mu Qinghai silently accompanied the old captain, knowing this might be the last time…

In the future, it would be hard to find such an opportunity again.

Mu Enli laughed heartily, with no trace of seriousness on his face, handing Mu Qinghai a bottle of vintage wine, but Mu Qinghai still shook his head.

The old captain didn’t mind much.

Mu Qinghai suddenly said, “Dad, back then… why did you adopt me?”

Mu Enli merely patted Mu Qinghai’s hand and looked up at the Big Dipper in the sky, “I think it was probably because you were a gift from heaven for me.” “Dad…

I really can’t pretend nothing ever happened.” Mu Qinghai clenched his fists. “Just consider me selfish.”

Seeing Mu Qinghai’s heavy expression, Mu Enli suddenly stood up, lifted the hat off Mu Qinghai’s head, and then put his own hat on him. “Dad?” “Remember,” Mu Enli said with a serious face, “you are my legacy!

Even if you’re immature, even if you’re not qualified, you are still my child!

In the future, you need to become the best captain, even if it’s not on the Baiyu Cruise, you need to be the best one!” “I understand.

I won’t let you down.”

A determined gaze. “Hey, don’t just stand there, come over!!

Show these guys who can really hold their liquor!” “Who dares to challenge me!” At this moment, Mu Enli laughed heartily and boldly walked into the crowd.

Singing and dancing, this day belongs to Mu Enli.

The final chapter of his era.

Ali leaned against the side, blowing the sea breeze, quietly watching this scene, holding a glass of fruit wine, her gaze somewhat intoxicated.

Among the crowd, the old captain grabbed a large bottle and drank from it directly.

He wrapped his arm around the doctor’s arm, and the two spun around, kicking their legs and singing.

It was something he learned at sea and later brought onto this ship.

He said this is what a sailor should be like, even if sailors are a thing of the past, he is still a sailor.

The old captain’s gaze accidentally fell on the railing of the upper deck to the boss who had granted him this time, and he laughed heartily.

Boss Luo then raised a glass in acknowledgment toward the old captain from afar and disappeared into the night.

The old captain knew his time was limited.

As for the things promised to Ali, just consider them his last bit of cunning…

As a navy officer, pirate hunter, and someone who spent thirty years on the Baiyu Cruise, as he reached the end of his life, his vision remained clear.

The woman who came with a mission was actually a really good woman. “Who else dares to challenge me!”

The old captain laughed heartily again. …

Ali had been watching Mu Enli’s actions, and now curiously looked in the direction he was gazing, but saw nothing and merely frowned slightly, not paying much attention.

She smoothed her hair and reached out for a cherry in the glass, extending her hand beyond the railing.

The little cherry spun gently.

The Flying Eagle, who had really been sun-dried by Officer Ma like a salted fish, looked up with a hungry expression, opening his mouth, like a dog begging for a treat, stretching out his tongue.

The Flying Eagle couldn’t remember how long it had been since he last ate or even drank water.

Ali twirled the cherry a few times, then suddenly opened her sensual lips and swallowed it, licking her fingers slightly.

It was like teasing a pet.

The Flying Eagle shivered.

Devil!!!

This woman is a devil!!!
