Chapter 666: Chapter 455: Seizing the Opportunity to Establish Authority
"I’ll find you a place to rest first, then I’ll coordinate with the folks back home. Once everything is negotiated, you can come over to pick up the people,"
Zachary had no qualms with Ye Liuyun’s arrangement and followed her to a room in the cabin. After Ye Liuyun bid farewell, Zachary lay directly on the large bed.
While the room Ye Liuyun arranged for Zachary wasn’t large, at about twenty square meters, it nonetheless had its own bathroom with a shower.
Space on the ship was incredibly precious; to describe it as worth its weight in gold would not be an exaggeration.
Especially under the current circumstances, a slightly larger space could mean saving one more life. Zachary estimated that there were not many single rooms on board larger than this one.
Lying on the bed, Zachary felt the ship rocking beneath him, and in a daze, he began to drift into a game of Go with Lord Zhou.
Between half-asleep and half-awake, he faintly heard someone knocking forcefully. The distant sound of continuous knocking eventually pulled Zachary out of his stupor.
Opening the door, he saw Ye Liuyun entering the room with a service cart. After the server carefully set the food from the cart onto the table, they left with the cart.
Once the server had closed the door upon leaving, Ye Liuyun spoke up, "Since we don’t know how long the flood disaster will last, most of the supplies I had stored on the ship are foods with a long shelf life."
After casually setting the tableware, Zachary smiled at Ye Liuyun and said, "I’m not unused to tough times. It’s good enough to have something to eat at a time like this; how could I demand more? Have a seat, let’s eat and talk."
The meal Ye Liuyun brought wasn’t too bad—a dish of rice with fried potatoes and sausage. Although there was only one dish for the two of them, the portion was not small.
Although any Martial Artist could devour it all if they really let themselves go, under normal circumstances no Martial Artist would eat that way.
The two cleared their plates in no time and, after wiping their mouths with the table napkin, Ye Liuyun revealed the reason for her visit, "I’ve just contacted the home front.
This time, in addition to picking up family members for the two of us, you’ll need to bring back six more people. I had thought about bringing more, but I rebuked that idea. After all, an aircraft isn’t like a car that just breaks down on the side of the road from being overloaded.
If I hadn’t put my foot down and refused others, who knows how many people would have ended up on that plane? You don’t have any issues with this arrangement, do you?"
"No problem," Dong Tianyu replied. "As long as everyone is safely picked up, I don’t want to worry about anything else."
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s response, Ye Liuyun’s smile grew wider. Clearly delighted, she said to Dong Tianyu, "Since you have no objections, then it’s settled. I’ll go contact them first, and once everything is confirmed, I’ll notify you to pick up the people."
As Ye Liuyun left with a happy stride, a service staff immediately entered the room and efficiently cleaned up the remaining mess on the table.
Ye Liuyun moved faster than Dong Tianyu expected. She didn’t keep him waiting long before she came to his room with a rectangular box.
Curious, Dong Tianyu asked directly upon seeing the box in Ye Liuyun’s hands, "What’s that you’re carrying?"
In response to Dong Tianyu’s inquiry, Ye Liuyun handed him the object, saying, "Your plane didn’t have a navigator, did it? I found a spare one in the storage and modified it a bit. Although it’s not as convenient as the original equipment on the plane, with this, you’ll never get lost again."
Seeing Ye Liuyun bring this thing over, although she didn’t say it outright, Dong Tianyu understood that her coordination work was already done, and she had come to make him depart as soon as possible.
Not only was Ye Liuyun anxious inside, but Dong Tianyu himself was also very concerned about the situation of his parents at the moment. Although he could confirm they were safe for now, as long as he hadn’t seen them, his heart couldn’t settle down for a moment.
Hence, upon hearing that Ye Liuyun had finished coordinating, Dong Tianyu didn’t hesitate to pull her toward the deck.
When Dong Tianyu and Ye Liuyun arrived on the deck, they were shocked to see several people gathered around Dong Tianyu’s airplane. As they approached, the conversations between the people came into earshot.
"Bro, we’re fine on the ship, why come here and try to pry open this plane? We don’t have anyone who knows how to fly it. Even if we pry open the door, we can’t fly the plane,"
But the younger brother’s attempt to reason didn’t stop the other from his task, perhaps frustrated by his inability to open the aircraft door after trying for so long.
Annoyed and embarrassed, the man prying replied, "If you don’t want to help, then just get out of my way. Don’t stand next to me rambling like Monk Tang chanting the headache sutra."
After that, he ignored his teammate and focused more intently on how to open the door.
Hearing the dialogue between the two, both Ye Liuyun and Dong Tianyu guessed what the others were thinking.
