Seeing that the vacant spot was filled, the others smartly returned to their own positions, those who should be tending the boiler continued to do so, and those who should be fishing prepared to fish.
It would still take more than 3 days to reach headquarters, and the ship couldn't be without personnel to operate it.
After everyone had left, the two people standing at the door began to talk quietly.
Lin Yuan had already hidden by the door to eavesdrop. He and Wang Xiaoxin were imprisoned separately.
I don't know if Old Wang is currently squatting by the door, just like me, listening to what they are saying.
Shaking off the杂念 (miscellaneous thoughts) in his mind, Lin Yuan focused on listening to the conversations outside to gather useful information.
The thick iron door had good soundproofing, but Lin Yuan's hearing had also been enhanced. Although far from Jiang Ziqi's ability, it was enough to barely hear what people outside were saying.
"Hoo, finally can relax a bit and not have to scoop fish on the deck," Lin Yuan heard a voice as the distance shortened.
"Heizi, you're a fish scooper, so it's better for you. I'm the one delivering coal in the boiler room! I'm tired to death."
"Alright, alright. We finally have a break, so don't talk too much nonsense. Let's lie down for a bit."
Then there was a period of silence, which made Lin Yuan a little confused. Had they really lain down? Weren't they afraid of being discovered by Carol Anna?
Perhaps it was indeed fear of Carol Anna's discovery, as the conversation resumed in less than a minute.
"Hey, Niya Si, why are you, a woman, assigned to stoke the boiler?"
"Damn it, how should I know? It must be because I wasn't devout enough when praying to God!"
"Get real."
"Enough, let's not talk about this anymore. Did you see today, that Chinese person in front of us!"
"I know. I'm also wondering, isn't this Li Wen already cleared out by the company? How can he still appear?!"
"You wouldn't know this. I heard he's a kept man in China by Minister Anna!" Niya Si's voice was very low, and Lin Yuan had to concentrate all his attention to catch this gossip.
Good heavens, Li Wen plays a risky game!
It was clear that Heizi also felt the same way, "WTF? I remember he has a wife!"
"Don't you know what kind of person our minister is? Last time, she took a liking to someone within the company, called him over, and spent a night with him.
Then the next day, his corpse was found naked in the seawater, bloated and covered with whip marks. Tsk, you can imagine."
Niya Si's words clearly frightened Heizi, who stammered, "Is that true? I even admired Minister Anna, but I didn't expect her to be like this."
Lin Yuan, who was eavesdropping in the room, was stunned at this moment.
Holy cow? This gossip is shocking!
But before he could express his feelings, he heard another female voice: "What kind of person am I?!"
Heizi was clearly startled and quickly plastered a smile on his face, "Minister Anna, we were discussing how beautiful you are, like an angel by God's side~"
"Enough, don't flatter me. Go back and read the Old Testament, and you'll know what angels are truly like."
Without paying much attention to the confused Heizi, she turned to Niya Si and said, "Open the door. I have something to ask target number 3."
"Minister, don't you want to consider it after we return to headquarters?" Niya Si's voice was clearly uncertain.
"What's the point of waiting until we get back to headquarters?! Open the door quickly!" Her tone was unquestionable.
Niya Si and Heizi exchanged glances, then casually looked at the whip in Carol Anna's hand. With a knowing smile, they took out their keys and opened the door for her.
