Chapter 707: Three Not-So-Simple Individuals
Qiao Ya didn’t answer the question, instead he blocked Gu Fan from the three scientists behind him. This move heightened the suspicion around him.
Lin Xi said mockingly, "The pirate’s hostages, entrusted to your care, and you guys took it so seriously. Now that the pirates are having difficulty saving themselves, you still want to protect these hostages. Can you really be this kind?"
"We have no choice, we’re just loyal to our duties." Dong Ni tried to justify, but the doubting gaze of everyone made Lu Yi add another point, "You care so much about these hostages, they must be important people, right?"
Qiao Ya shook his head, "Not at all, they’re just ordinary people. We don’t look after them that well, it’s mainly because they have always followed us."
"Is that so?" Everyone looked at the three people, completely unlike the expression of being protected.
Gu Fan seemed troubled, "Actually, I once encountered a cargo ship. The crew on it were all killed by pirates, and some surveillance footage was wiped out. I always found it strange. Why do pirates do such things? If the pirates don’t use hostages for ransom, why kill the crew and destroy the footage? Maybe the crew saw something they shouldn’t have."
Qiao Ya frowned, "Maybe?"
However, Gu Fan shook his head again, "Later, I thought it was wrong. What could the crew have seen that would make the pirates want to kill them to keep them quiet? There must be some secret of the pirates." After saying this, Gu Fan stared at Qiao Ya and his group as if trying to see into their hearts.
Qiao Ya clenched his fist imperceptibly, it seemed that he knew he had been exposed and was ready for a fight.
