I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 298: Is there humanity? Is there conscience?
Big Foot's face was full of vigilance: "Hey, why are you two hugging each other like this?"

"We just experienced a thrilling life-and-death struggle!" Shen Lang said casually without changing his expression or heartbeat, "Hui Xiang was accidentally injured by those vicious bandits."

"Yes, I was hurt by bandits!" Huixiang deliberately gritted her teeth at the word "bandits".

Le Huizhen nodded in sudden realization, hurried over to Huixiang, and asked with concern, "Huixiang, you're injured! Let me help you."

As he said this, he carefully helped her up.

Big Foot instantly said with concern: "Cousin, where are you hurt? Let me see."

Then he said to Shen Lang: "Thank you for saving my cousin!"

After talking about playing, he prepared to check where Huixiang was injured.

"It's not a big problem, you don't need to check me." Huixiang rejected his kindness.

Shen Lang changed the subject and asked, "Ya Zi, what's the situation outside now?"

Yazi shook her head. "The situation isn't optimistic. Although we've asked for help, Mengbo has been captured by the gangsters. We're preparing to go out and rescue Mengbo and the other hostages."

Having said that, she paused for a moment and then continued, "By the way, Shen Lang, do you want to prepare a few more weapons? It's better to be prepared!"

Shen Lang nodded and responded, "Good idea! One more weapon means a better chance of winning."

He pulled out the revolver from his waist, looked at it, and sighed, "There aren't many bullets left in this gun. I better prepare more."

Actually, it doesn’t matter whether I have weapons or not, I just want to find an opportunity to get along with Meiko first.

Meizi said, "Go to my room and get your weapons."

"What about us?" others asked hurriedly.

"You can find a safe place to hide first, or wait for us to come back, or go and rescue the hostages first." Shen Lang said.

Huixiang thought for a moment, took a pistol from Dajiao's hand, and said, "Then let's go rescue the hostages, cousin, let's go!"

"Okay cousin." Big Foot nodded.

The two left one after another.

"Let's go check on Meng Bo first." Imamura Kiyoko said, "Killing a few more bandits will also relieve your pressure."

Shen Lang instructed: "Be careful and don't act rashly when encountering problems."

"We'll be careful."

Several people responded and then went their separate ways.

Shen Lang and Yazi walked towards her room side by side.

Not long after walking, Yazi suddenly stopped without any warning.

She turned around abruptly, staring at Shen Lang with her eyes fixed on him, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and asked unhappily, "Shen Lang, were you crazy just now?"

Faced with her sudden question, Shen Lang couldn't help but feel confused and at a loss for a moment.

With a confused look on his face, he asked back, "What do you mean? Why am I crazy?"

A look of anger appeared on Yazi's face, and she glared at Shen Lang fiercely.

With a hint of complaint in his tone, he said, "How dare you ask! How could you kiss me in front of Ah Zhen just now? Now that's great, I don't know how to explain it to her!"

It turned out to be this.

Shen Lang said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I'll go talk to her in person later. Don't worry, I believe she won't blame us."

When Yazi heard this, although she was still dissatisfied, now was not the time to continue to dwell on this issue.

She sighed helplessly and said, "If Ah Zhen really comes to trouble me because of this, I will say that you insist on treating me like her. Forget it, let's not talk about this. The most urgent thing is to quickly get the gun and save people as soon as possible."

He took a few guns and put them on his body and just came out of the room.

Then a voice came from the speakers above my head: "Listen up everyone on the ship, you killed Colonel McDonald. If you want to save the private detective and the remaining hostages, come to the deck, otherwise we will shoot one person every five minutes!"

"These damn guys!" Yazi frowned, "We must find a way to prevent them from killing all the hostages."

"What do those hostages have to do with me?" Shen Lang glanced at her. "Don't you have any solution?"

Meizi shook her head: "There's nothing we can do for now. We don't know if the outside world has detected our distress signal. Why don't we go to the deck first and then act accordingly."

"I thought so too." Shen Lang nodded and said, "Let's go."

The two of them carefully headed to the deck.

Yazi was extremely cautious with every step she took, fearing that any noise would attract the attention of the criminals.

When she finally stepped onto the deck, the scene before her made her heart tighten.

I saw a group of ferocious bandits holding weapons and driving many hostages here.

All the hostages were squatting, but they were all tightly tied with ropes and had no power to resist.

Among this group of hostages, Meng Bo's familiar figure was prominently present.

There was a microphone in front of the gangster.

At the same time, Kiyoko Imamura, Keika and others had already quietly ambushed in a dark corner not far away, quietly observing the development of the situation and not daring to act rashly.

Le Huizhen nervously lowered her voice and counted softly: "1, 2, 3..."

Because she was too anxious, she was unable to accurately count the exact number of bandits for a while.

Suddenly, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered her mouth. This sudden change made Le Huizhen tremble all over, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

The next moment, Shen Lang's voice came from behind his ear, "Hush, what are you counting?"

Hearing that it was him, Le Huizhen's tense heartstrings relaxed a little.

After Shen Lang slowly released his hand that was covering her mouth, Le Huizhen explained in a low voice: "I'm counting how many bandits there are here."

When Hui Xiang saw Shen Lang and Yazi, she hurriedly said in a very low voice: "You are finally here. What should we do next?"

Shen Lang said, "What else can we do? Running away is the best option."

After a brief thought, Qingzi said with a firm look in her eyes: "No, we must not let them kill Meng Bo like this. I must go out and save him!"

"How are you going to save him?" Huixiang looked at Qingzi in astonishment, very surprised by her decision.

But just as he finished speaking, Qingzi rushed out without hesitation and shouted at the top of her voice: "Wait!"

He ran all the way to Meng Bo, opened his arms, and stood in front of Meng Bo like a solid barrier.

Seeing this, Meng Bo immediately showed a helpless expression on his face, and groaned, "Hey, Qingzi, what are you doing here now?"

"Of course I'm here to save you." Qingzi whispered.

He then said to the bandits, "I beg you to release Meng Bo. Your purpose is to get money. My father is Hiroji Imamura, the Japanese newspaper tycoon. If you release him, I can ask him to give you a lot of money!"

One of the gangsters said coldly: "Do you think we will believe you?"

"If you don't believe me, you can telegraph my father's company right away," Qingzi said. "The telegraph number is 0252429."

The gangster nodded, turned around and said to the person next to him: "Write down the telegram number and check it over there."

Then he turned his head, staring at Qingzi with a gaze as sharp as a knife, and asked again in a cold tone: "Miss, is Mr. Meng Bo really that important to you?"

Qingzi nodded without hesitation and responded firmly, "That's right! He is absolutely the most outstanding, most graceful, and best gentleman I have ever met in my life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Bo's originally tense face instantly bloomed like a spring flower, revealing an ecstatic smile.

The gangster just sneered coldly and said viciously, "Very good, in that case, let's spread the news of our plan to kill this good man to faraway Japan as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Qingzi was immediately furious. Her beautiful eyes burned with rage, and she gritted her teeth as she shouted, "You shameless bastards! You are so cruel and despicable!"

Facing Qingzi's accusation, the bandits showed no shame and sneered: "All of you, immediately detain this young lady and demand a ransom from her father!"

"Yes Sir!"

Two ferocious-looking bandits rushed forward quickly and roughly grabbed Qingzi's slender arms.

Qingzi struggled desperately and shouted at the same time: "What on earth do you bastards want to do? Aren't you just after money? Why are you holding so many innocent hostages?"

The gangster's face became more ferocious and ferocious, and he roared viciously: "Because someone killed Colonel McDonald! If he doesn't come out, I will kill you!"

After that, he roared into the microphone in front of him: "Listen, the gentleman who killed Colonel McDonald, we now have another hostage. If you don't come to the deck within three minutes, we will start killing these hostages!"

The sound was transmitted to every corner of the ship through the microphone.

Le Huizhen asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"

"I think it's best not to go out!" Ah Ping said immediately, "If we go out, what will we do?"

Big Foot said, "If you don't go out, they might really kill the hostages. I think it's better for you to surrender. I'll burn some paper for you during the holidays..."

Before he could finish his words, Huixiang punched him hard.

"Ouch, my nose..." Big Foot quickly covered his nose.

Yazi's eyes fell on Shen Lang, "What do you think?"

Shen Lang sighed heavily and said, "Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will? If I can really save the lives of these hostages, I am willing to sacrifice myself."

He glanced at them and said, "If I ever encounter misfortune, you must burn paper money for me during festivals!"

Except for Big Foot, the others felt suddenly heavy-hearted after hearing what he said.

But for a moment I didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, Shen Lang kissed Le Huizhen on the face, then kissed Yazi on the face, and then kissed Huixiang on the face, and even kissed Aping.

All the women were stunned.

Then they said in different expressions:
"What are you doing?"

"Why did you kiss them?"

"Are you going to die? Why are you kissing me at this hour?"

"Are you looking for death?"

Their tones were either angry, reproachful, or secretly delighted.

If the occasion is not inappropriate, it will definitely happen.

Shen Lang sighed heavily again and said, "I'm about to die to save these hostages. Don't you think I can even kiss you before I die? How can you be so stingy? Do you still have any conscience or humanity?"

The women were speechless after hearing what he said, and for a moment they didn't know how to refute.
