Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

"Have you prepared enough money? Lai San should have told you before that we are only responsible for getting you onto the ship. As for whether you can reach the other side safely, we are not responsible."

"Of course, you can rest assured about one thing: on Master Long's ship, internal treachery is not allowed."

"Yes, we can start eating right away once we get off Master Long's boat," Ji Han automatically filled in the unspoken meaning in the young man's words.

It was Shi Shaoyu, the seemingly simple and kind but strong and robust young man, who once again stepped forward to answer.

"Don't worry, we've prepared the money. We just don't know when our ship will be able to depart."

Before seeing the ship, Ji Han and his companion couldn't possibly pay the "ship ticket fee" in advance. After all, they were unfamiliar with the place, and if the other party took the money and disappeared into the crowd, it would be incredibly difficult for the two of them to find him.

The other party had been in this business for many years and naturally knew what Ji Han and his group were worried about, so they didn't mention demanding payment now.

"Two days later, at midnight, the ship will depart on time. Lai San knows the boarding location, and he will take you there."

Lai San, standing next to him, didn't know who the big boss was, but under the young man's threatening gaze, he smiled sensibly and said...

"Yes, yes, just bring your money and come early, and I'll take you to the ship."

The young man didn't linger after speaking, turning and leaving with Lai San. Thanks to his excellent hearing, Ji Han could still hear Lai San cautiously inquiring about the ship's location from afar...

Two nights later, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, each with a shoulder bag and a rattan suitcase, followed Lai San, turning left and right in a small grove by the river, and finally stopped at a secluded corner where a small boat had been moored sometime earlier.

Although it was called a small boat, the boat was actually quite large. Ji Han and his group arrived relatively early. At that moment, cargo was still being loaded and unloaded. One after another, large, airtight wooden crates were being carried into the cabin by burly men dressed in black. On land and on both sides of the deck, there were several lookouts carrying wooden guns, vigilantly looking around.

Ji Han and his group were stopped from a distance. Lai San quickly stepped forward and identified himself. After hearing this, the people did not let them pass immediately. One of them quickly ran to the boat and returned just as fast. Then, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were carried onto the boat by two men using wooden guns.

As for Lai San, Ji Han settled the brokerage fee for him on the spot, but he was only allowed to retreat after the ship departed.

As soon as Ji Han and his group boarded the ship, they saw the young man from two days ago sitting casually at the bow. When he saw them arrive, he simply winked at a lookout, who immediately stepped forward and began checking Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's luggage.

Fortunately, most of Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's belongings were in their spatial storage. Besides some gold bars, the only other items outside were their clothes. The man thoroughly inspected the suitcase inside and out, again and again, and only after confirming there were no unusual items did he speak to the young man.

"Third Young Master, no problem."

Shi Shaoyu also took out a large portion of the gold bars that had been turned over and handed them over to the lookout. That was the boat fare for the two of them, which had been agreed upon beforehand.

The lookout took the items, counted them, and then carefully placed them on the small table in front of the young man.

"Third Young Master, the numbers match."

The young man nodded, indicating that it was okay, and Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were then led into the back cabin by the two men with the guns.

The cabin wasn't as noisy as I'd imagined. The only sounds were the footsteps of the people unloading cargo. Ji Han noticed that they communicated with eye contact or gestures, and very few people spoke directly.

Ji Han and his group didn't go far inside the cabin before being led into a small compartment. As usual, there were two guards with guns at the door of the compartment. Once inside, they found that there were already three people sitting there: two men and one woman.

Judging from their seating arrangement, the three people should be together. One of them, a man and a woman, looks older, and it's unclear whether they are a couple or siblings. The other man looks to be a young man in his twenties.

After the two groups of people in the same cubicle met, they simply nodded politely to each other without saying a word. Ji Han led Shi Shaoyu to sit on the only two small stools left in the cubicle, and then leaned against the wooden board behind them to close their eyes and rest.

The cargo outside was loaded quickly, and then the ship quietly began to leave the shore. Ji Han heard the sound of the Third Master walking into the cabin. He seemed to inspect one side of the cargo hold, open the door to look at the group of people, and then stop at the cabin door.

The sound of the boat breaking through the water was particularly clear in the quiet night. As the boat moved forward, the sound of the churning river gradually drowned out the sound of the boat moving forward.

Suddenly, Ji Han heard a brief gasp, which was then drowned out by the sound of water. Ji Han opened his eyes instantly, and he and Shi Shaoyu exchanged a glance, their muscles tensing up at the same time.

Under the cover of darkness, Ji Han secretly took out a gun from his spatial storage and tucked it into his lower back.

Long after the exclamations subsided, just as Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were about to relax their vigilance, gunshots suddenly came from an unknown direction, and the sound was directed at the cargo ship they were on!

With the first bullet fired, the ship instantly went into battle mode. "Bang bang bang!" Ji Han could clearly hear the sound of the cargo ship retaliating. As the gunfire became more and more intense, even the two people guarding the door of the small compartment were called out to join the battle.

The saying goes, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." Once this ship is really captured, Ji Han and his group will definitely not fare well either. He led Shi Shaoyu out of the compartment. The people inside the cabin didn't care about them. The Third Young Master, who was hiding behind the cabin door and shooting continuously, even threw a gun to each of them.

Once outside, Ji Han could see the current battle situation clearly. In the darkness, the cargo ship seemed to be caught in the enemy's trap, with bullets flying from all directions. Fortunately, the people on the cargo ship were quick to retaliate, and all they had to do was fight back. The enemy, in the water, not only had to attack but also had to prevent themselves from being swept away by the current.

A loud "bang" rang in their ears, followed by a muffled groan from someone on the deck who had been shot. Immediately, the only remaining bodyguard beside the Third Young Master went out to replace the wounded companion. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu took the opportunity to choose hiding spots on either side of the cabin door.

Perhaps because they had taken health-enhancing pills, their night vision was much better than that of ordinary people. This advantage was usually inconspicuous, but at this moment it was a lifesaver.
