The previous duty officer, who was already impatient, now spoke with even more sarcasm. After all, the person in charge of the keys had already gone off duty, and the person in front of him couldn’t open the lock! How dare he threaten him… Hmph! He’ll have to obediently do as he says!
Yan Qing slightly pinched his chin and thought for two seconds, took out a spring knife from his file bag, and walked out… Then, a harsh sound like a knife scraping across an iron surface was heard.
After more than ten minutes, the captain couldn’t help but rush out…
The scene before him left him stunned.
Oh my… Is this really human? Manually opening the iron chain with a spring knife?!!!
However, this result made the captain more certain that there were still people on the island… And that would be his responsibility.
Yan Qing put away the spring knife and inserted his hands into his trouser pocket.
Of course, he wouldn’t let the captain see that his hand was slightly trembling from excessive force, lacking strength, and the surface was red.
He was tough, but still human. He just didn’t like letting others see his “vulnerable side”… And now, the primary task was to go to that island and confirm if An Xi was there.
“Can we go out to sea now?”
Yan Qing directly boarded the ship, standing on it and looking at the captain, his voice crisp.
The captain looked at the person standing in the rain…
Although his shoulder was wet and his hair was no longer as smooth, and he didn’t know if his glasses were fogged up… He could still clearly see the brilliant light in those pitch-black eyes.
“…Yes, let’s set off!”
The captain withdrew his gaze, slightly lowering his head and adjusting his hat.
Yes… He recognized that brilliant light.
When he was once a novice, wanting to conquer this sea for the first time, he had also possessed such a brilliant light… It was the radiance that appeared when he was determined to overcome the difficulties before him.
How long had this light been absent? How long had this feeling been gone?
The captain raised the corner of his mouth, walking towards the person in the rain… Let him, now in middle age, find this feeling once again!
