Only Lü Wei, Xu Hang, and Ye Yuan remained on deck.
At that moment, Ye Yuan sat alone in a corner.
His senses constantly monitored the conditions on the sea, and he had no intention of continuing the conversation.
Xu Hang stood by the rail with a cigarette between his lips, gazing sorrowfully at the sea.
Lü Wei moved over to Xu Hang's side.
"My sister's just a little girl. Don't take what she said to heart."
Xu Hang shook his head and spoke slowly.
"She wasn't wrong.
No matter how unreasonable those people are,
as long as they are citizens of Huaxia Nation, as long as their lives are in danger,
even if it costs us our lives, we must spare no effort to rescue them.
That is our mission. I have nothing to complain about.
I only lost my composure because I thought of my former comrades. It has nothing to do with your sister."
Lü Wei felt the same way.
In his work, there were often things he disliked as well, but because of the job, he still had to carry them out resolutely.
So he and Xu Hang could very much relate to one another.
But to Ye Yuan, those words sounded entirely different. He suddenly found himself filled with respect for Xu Hang.
For the rest of the journey, the atmosphere aboard the boat remained oppressive.
Only Xu Hang made and received calls from time to time, while Ye Yuan watched the changing waves intently throughout.
Amid that tense and anxious atmosphere, the fishing boat sailed for three hours.
Just when everyone thought it had been a false alarm, Xu Hang suddenly sprang to his feet after receiving a call.
"Prepare the rescue assault teams!
Issue weather warnings to every vessel still at sea!
