Chapter 660: Chapter 452: Torrential Rain Like Pillars
Ye Liuyun didn’t say much, she simply stated, "I’ve almost finished preparing on my side, I plan to move there in the next couple of days. Gordon, you should also get ready and move over as soon as possible."
Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Yara suddenly asked with curiosity, "What’s going on? What’s the situation? What are you two up to behind our backs?"
Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes and retorted, "What do you mean ’behind your backs’? When you were secretly using your connections to get those aircraft carrier tickets, you didn’t include us. We couldn’t get aircraft carrier tickets, so we had to look for other means. We can’t just sit around waiting to die."
Seeing that Ye Liuyun seemed genuinely upset, Yara stopped probing and fell silent.
To diffuse the awkward atmosphere, Gordon intervened, "Alright, alright, each chick pees its own way, it looks like the flood will hit us soon, we should each ensure our own way out, and help out each other if possible."
Franklin chimed in at this point as well, "Exactly, that’s what we’re doing, just hanging out for a chat. What’s the rush? Today might be our last gathering for a while, after today everyone will go their separate ways. No need to hurry things; we can discuss slowly."
Reassured by the others, Ye Liuyun’s initially agitated demeanor slowly relaxed, and she then became somewhat silent.
Yara, now understanding Ye Liuyun’s intent, spoke with a hint of guilt, "I should be blamed for this too, I didn’t make it clear to you guys. I used connections to secure an aircraft carrier ticket that’s quite scarce. This ticket allows for 20 people to board.
Don’t think I hadn’t considered you. I came here today to tell you: if you haven’t found a way out, you can come aboard with me. Although the living conditions might not be the best, at least safety is guaranteed."
While everyone knew from the side that Yara had secured qualifications to board an aircraft carrier, they didn’t expect that Yara meant she could bring others aboard with her.
And attending this gathering was precisely to invite the others to join her. Once everyone understood the situation, any resentment they might have harbored towards Yara gradually dissipated.
However, at this moment, Dong Tianyu immediately realized that Yara’s actions weren’t purely out of friendship. Yara was acutely aware of the others’ worth and capabilities.
If she didn’t invite some well-connected acquaintances of equal status to board with her, and only brought her own subordinates, the supplies she had would quickly run out. Without resources, she wouldn’t be able to support those subordinates.
Without the guarantee of living supplies, who knew if the subordinates would continue to follow her instructions loyally? Rather than ending up empty-handed later, it was better to invite some friends with whom she had good relationships—there would be mutual support at least.
Although Dong Tianyu guessed Yara’s reason for inviting them, he couldn’t deny that, should they fail to find a better option, Yara’s kindness was nothing short of life-saving.
After Yara had shared her thoughts and saw that, although others’ faces showed remorse for misunderstanding her, no one expressed the desire to board with her, she instantly understood that the others had found better options. At least in their eyes, these were much better than boarding the aircraft carrier with Yara.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Franklin couldn’t help but say, "Actually, my intent for coming here is similar to Yara’s. You all know I’m planning to return to my hometown in a few days.
Besides the few in our family who will be on the aircraft carrier, the rest will board a large ocean-going ship we’ve prepared.
Since I have a few boarding spots, I came here hoping to invite you all to come with me. The safety of our family’s ship may not be as high as that of an aircraft carrier, but in terms of comfort and living conditions, I believe they’re much better than those on the carrier.
If you really haven’t found a suitable way out, why not consider coming with me?" Finished speaking, Franklin glanced over at Ye Liuyun, Dong Tianyu, and Gordon.
Once Yara mentioned having the capability to bring others onto the aircraft carrier, Franklin understood that her purpose for coming was probably the same as his. However, compared to Yara’s option with the aircraft carrier, Franklin believed his family’s privately-owned ocean liner might be more attractive to the others.
Yet, neither Yara nor Franklin expected Ye Liuyun to have the audacity to acquire a huge ship in the absence of other options. She even managed to get support from her hometown. Initially hoping for a seafaring Refuge Center, Ye Liuyun got ahold of an oceangoing cruise without much cost.
Although three of the five present knew about Ye Liuyun’s situation, when it came time for her to explain, she still instinctively hid some details from Yara and Franklin.
"I didn’t get a ticket for the aircraft carrier, you all know my situation. Although my family won’t say anything if I return now, I don’t want to go back in such a disgraceful manner, so I got a big ship.
