“Luo Feng, it’s fine, you may go. I’m feeling a bit weary and need to rest.”
Li Shishi’s words were genuine. She wanted Luo Feng to go, but not because she wanted him away from her. Her primary intention was to create opportunities for him.
After all, a content woman does not cling to her lover unduly.
As for men, they might have multiple partners, but the key is whether they can attend to all of them and keep them fully satisfied,
Indeed, relationships among these women can be quite harmonious.
What do women truly want?
Love, perhaps initially.
But as time passes, what they often seek is money and companionship, with money being the foundation.
Companionship doesn’t mean spending every moment with her; it’s about pleasing her in specific ways. If you can’t do that, being with her all day is no better than a brief, joyful hour.
“I have some things to do,” Luo Feng replied, surprising both Great Beauty Lin and Li Shishi with his refusal. He had almost always agreed to Lin Yueting’s requests in the past.
“Well, alright then,” Lin Yueting said, not pressing the matter, and soon left.
At that moment, Luo Feng had quietly boarded his ship and arranged to meet some associates.
“Have the things I ordered been brought here?” Luo Feng asked a man on the ship.
“Mr. Luo, everything you requested has arrived. We can help load them onto the ship,” the man replied, referring to the assortment of bows, crossbows, flying knives, long sticks, and other cold weapons that Luo Feng had requested.
Though Luo Feng was prepared to pay cash to avoid any trouble, he wouldn’t readily surrender money if he encountered pirates. It would depend on their firepower and strength. If they were formidable, he would yield; if they were ordinary, he might resist.
What if they sought not just money, but to kidnap or harm him, or worse, if they fancied Li Shishi or another woman and planned to abduct her? Luo Feng would risk everything to protect his women.
The next morning, the ship quickly departed Singapore. Luo Feng and Li Shishi had played until past 1 a.m., enjoying themselves in an environment far superior to the ship’s bedroom. They had quite a wild time.
The next day, Luo Feng delayed the departure by two hours. Many wealthy youngsters assumed that perhaps Luo Feng and Li Shishi had simply played too hard. They were accustomed to such behavior.
A day later, they arrived at the Malacca Strait, an area notorious for pirate activity. Every crew member, even the wealthy passengers, was on edge that day, but none left the ship, signifying their absolute trust in Luo Feng.
Internet users, aware of the unrest in the area, began to express concern:
“Old Luo, don’t go through there. There are pirates now!”
“Pirates still exist? Forgive my ignorance! ”
“Of course, they do!”
“If pirates come, just give them some money, and that’ll be it!”
“You’re so rich; no problem that money can’t solve. If it doesn’t, just add more!”
“Unlikely, Old Luo is live streaming!”
“Hahaha, do you think they fear exposure? The greater their notoriety, the more proud they feel!”
“That’s right, pirates aren’t scared of these things!”
Time ticked away as Luo Feng stayed on deck, holding Li Shishi’s tender hand, continually reassuring her.
Not a sign of suspicious activity was detected until late at night.
The captain finally relaxed, saying, “It seems these pirates are leery of our boss’s reputation. They don’t dare to act!”
He suspected that Luo Feng’s live streaming, showcasing his skills and wealth, might have deterred the pirates. Perhaps they feared he had acquired formidable weapons and did not dare approach.
After all, robbery is about assessing the victim’s strength and the consequences of the act.
Some victims, even if weak, might retaliate.
And those people’s connections were often too formidable for the pirates to provoke.
Indeed, many of these pirates were ordinary folk from neighboring countries, with robbery as a sideline. Their main occupation was regular work. Robbing someone as prominent as Luo Feng, who was also respected by Chinese officials, carried significant risk.
They were not emotionless, professional pirates; they had families at home that needed them.
The next few days passed without incident, and everyone gradually relaxed.
But along the way, they encountered various cargo ships, both large and small.
Five days later, they left the Malacca Strait and arrived at the Grait StraitO.
Ten days after that, they entered the Indian Ocean…
