Guo Xuyang fell asleep listlessly.
The next morning, Xiao Yun ran over and knocked on his door.
“Lazy pig, wake up.”
Guo Xuyang was not yet awake and didn’t want to pay attention to her.
“Lazy pig, wake up. If you don’t get up, we’ll all leave.”
There was no choice, so he got up and opened the door.
“What time is it? It’s not even six o’clock yet. What’s wrong with you? Why are you getting into my bed? Get down quickly. I want to sleep a bit more. I’m not awake yet.”
Guo Xuyang grabbed Xiao Yun’s clothes and tried to pull her out, but the clothes came off, and she was still in bed.
“Come on, master. This humble woman will help you change.”
This little vixen…
After a lot of fuss, and with the phone ringing several times, Xiao Yun reluctantly let him go.
“Why the rush? So annoying.” She turned off the phone angrily.
“Hurry up and get up, or Brother Liang will laugh at us again.”
“Let him worry, humph.”
“Alright, alright, get up quickly. My waist is about to break.”
When the two of them got downstairs, Lu Liang and Ilena were already waiting in the car.
“Days are not lived one at a time. You two should also take it easy. Today’s schedule is quite tight. We’ll go to the diamond exploration site first, then to the gold mine. Chik is waiting for our signatures there,” Lu Liang said.
“After today’s itinerary is finished, we’ll take the ship north tomorrow. The crystals have already been loaded. I got a call this morning.”
When Guo Xuyang got into the car, Lu Liang started it.
Xiao Yun ran to Ilena’s car to keep her company.
As expected, there were no diamonds at the diamond exploration site, but there was a lot of gold underneath.
“Brother Liang, arrange for them to continue drilling here. I feel the chance of finding gold is quite high. Forget the diamonds,” Guo Xuyang said after looking.
“Really? It’s okay if there’s no diamond but gold. At least the initial investment won’t be wasted,” Lu Liang said happily. “Li Xinglong and the others can be brought here.”
“Brother Liang, we haven’t seen Li Xinglong and the others since we got off the ship. Where did you put them?”
“The boss’s intention was for them to survive or perish on this land. They won’t be able to leave here in this lifetime,” Lu Liang said.
Guo Xuyang saw that he didn’t want to talk about this topic and didn’t ask further.
By the time they reached the gold mine, it was already past three in the afternoon. Chik, Vahats, and Hera were all there, and this time there were more armed guards.
“Mr. Guo, we’ve been waiting for you,” Chik said, handing him a contract. “This contract has been drafted. Please take a look, and if there are no issues, sign your name.”
Guo Xuyang took it and handed it to Lu Liang, who then passed it to Ilena after reading it.
“No problem,” Ilena said after carefully reviewing it.
Guo Xuyang took the contract, signed it, and then handed it back to Chik.
Chik took out a bottle of red wine, poured several glasses, and offered them to everyone present, saying, “Here’s to our successful cooperation and getting rich soon!”
Everyone drank it down.
Guo Xuyang transferred the money directly to the account designated by Chik.
“Boss Chik, we discovered a good gold deposit at my diamond mine. I wonder if you gentlemen are interested?” Lu Liang asked after they had finished their business.
“Is that so? Congratulations,” Chik said. “What are your plans?”
“We’ll all make money together. I want seventy percent of the shares, and the remaining thirty percent can be divided among those present. However, my price is twenty million per share. If you are interested, we can draft a contract when we return,” Lu Liang said.
He was purely selling a blank check. Guo Xuyang had only said there was gold underneath, but not how much.
Chik glanced at the others and said, “I want one share.”
Vahats said, “I want one share. But I can only afford ten million. I’ll be responsible for the security of the gold mine.”
Hera, seeing that both had invested, also asked for a share.
Everything went perfectly. Lu Liang took advantage of the occasion to easily delegate the task of future gold mine exploitation.
“Come, I’ll borrow Boss Chik’s wine to toast everyone. Here’s to our cooperation! I will arrange for someone to deliver the contract to you all when we return.”
With the task completed, everyone was very happy, and they parted ways.
The group of four arrived at the dock very late.
“Goodbye, you two! It was a pleasure meeting you, my friends,” Ilena said, bidding farewell to Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun.
“Thank you for your company these past few days, thank you very much! If you ever visit my country, please contact me. I will be honored to host you,” Guo Xuyang said.
“Thank you!”
“Ilena, weren’t you helping Lu Liang? Why don’t you come back with us?”
“I still have a mission here. I can’t go back yet. I believe we will meet again,”
Ilena said and drove away.
“Let’s go. Don’t be reluctant. Let’s find a place to stay. We’ll set off tomorrow,” Lu Liang said.
“Let’s go, find a place to eat well. We won’t be able to eat so many delicious things on the ship tomorrow,” Xiao Yun said.
She was quite optimistic, and it was indeed the case.
She had come on the ship just to have fun.
She just didn’t expect so many things to happen.
The ship set sail smoothly the next morning, loaded with crystals and heading for the Americas.
After a period of time together, Lu Liang and Guo Xuyang became closer. Several times Lu Liang wanted to ask about the supernatural abilities, but he never did.
The ship sailed north, and when passing through the Gulf of Guinea, they encountered a group of pirates.
Pirates in the Gulf of Guinea were very famous in the world.
These pirates were hired out of necessity.
As long as someone paid, they would board ships and go out to rob.
The kidnappings by fragmented pirate groups were often a significant part of the funding for large armed criminal organizations.
To avoid being targeted by pirates, Lu Liang had specifically arranged for the captain to take a detour, but they were still intercepted by pirates.
This incident was a bit dramatic.
The ship loaded with crystals had taken a curved detour, adding more than fifty nautical miles, precisely to avoid being targeted by pirates. Ironically, they ran headfirst into the pirates.
This group of pirates had just hijacked a giant oil tanker and were happily returning when they bumped into Lu Liang’s cargo ship.
Guo Xuyang knew nothing about the pirates in this area. He and Xiao Yun were sleeping soundly in the cabin, never expecting such things to happen.
By the time the pirates had hijacked the cargo ship to the shore, he had just woken up.
Unfortunately, the ship and the oil tanker had already been taken to a dock in the port of Cameroon.
Lu Liang had been hit on the head with a rifle butt by a pirate, and blood was flowing out.
He hadn’t thought about waking Guo Xuyang up. He reasoned that Guo Xuyang was just an ordinary person, and even if he woke him up, he might not be able to help. Furthermore, Jiang Qixin had specifically instructed him to take good care of Guo Xuyang.
In this dangerous situation, he certainly wouldn’t wake Guo Xuyang up.
The more than twenty people on the ship were all tied up by the pirates.
