Disagree? My husband has a mouth, there was no misunderstanding at all!

Chapter 167 May I join the rescue team and go together? [Corrected]

Huo Wenji and Xie Fu were traveling in a neighboring country when they heard the news. They set off immediately and arrived earlier than Yan Zhuoyu and Xie Fu because of the proximity.

After exchanging a few brief greetings with him, Yan Zhuoyu and he waited together for the rescue team's response.

Qin Zhuyue glanced at the curly-haired police officer who had stopped them earlier, pursed her lips, and muttered with dissatisfaction, "Why do I feel that these Italian police officers are a bit perfunctory? It's been more than an hour since we arrived here, and not only have they not taken any action, but they've been chatting and laughing, and even secretly playing drinking games. They're more relaxed than the street thugs."

Yan Zhuoyu glanced at them, her feelings complicated.

Fu Zhuchen arrived just in time to hear her words. He snorted and continued, "After all, the people being held hostage aren't Italians. The only Italian passenger on the cruise ship, Will, isn't enough to make them nervous. The fact that they're here to keep us occupied is already a testament to their dedication."

Although his words were harsh, they hit the nail on the head and revealed the truth.

Soon after, the Italian rescue team and police prepared to leave, claiming they needed to go back for a meal to replenish their strength.

Their tour leader stated bluntly: "We have already located the cruise ship where the stranded people are located, and we will not participate in the subsequent rescue work. After all, this incident is not directly related to us. Since the accident occurred in our waters, we have fulfilled our responsibility by assisting in the location."

Although the leader of the Chinese rescue team had anticipated that they would make excuses, he did not expect them to abandon the rescue so decisively.

“We know nothing about the situation on the cruise ship right now. Every moment of delay for those trapped could put them in greater danger. Don’t you understand that?”

The curly-haired police officer shrugged and replied, "We're helpless too. You all know how dangerous thunderstorms are. We can't ignore the safety of our rescue workers, can we?"

Subsequently, the French rescue team and special police also stated: "Yes, helicopters cannot fly in this kind of weather. If struck by lightning, the consequences would be unimaginable; they would be reduced to ashes, and even the remains would be irretrievable. As for the cruise ship rescue, it would be even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Visibility is extremely low, and communication cannot be maintained. If it were to collide with something and cause a fuel leak, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The French side went even further, stating: "We have issued arrest warrants for the Ivan family. If you encounter Mr. Ivan and he does anything excessive, you can kill him directly. It has been authorized by higher authorities, and you have full authority to handle this matter."

The three parties were passing the buck, and neither of the two countries' rescue teams was willing to take on the dangerous task. Yan Zhuoyu and her companions were not far away and heard everything clearly.

Huo Wenji angrily cursed, "Bullshit! You're really good at shirking responsibility! Only now do you realize that those scumbags in the Ivan family are dangerous elements? Where were you all this time? Why didn't you put electronic ankle bracelets on them to restrict their movements sooner? Now you think you can just say 'we'll handle it' and call it a day?"

Fu Zhuchen maintained his polite language and rationally analyzed, "Flying a helicopter in such severe weather is indeed very dangerous. Lightning may cause communication equipment to fail. If something goes wrong, the rescuer will instantly become the one being rescued. Isn't that like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather?"

Yan Zhuoyu remained silent, her mind filled with everyone's constant worries and concerns.

But what if the weather improves tomorrow, and Pei Weijin gets into trouble?

Time ticked by, and the Chinese rescue team persisted in following the established plan.

The mercenaries hired by Huo Wenji and his team were all seasoned veterans, and they boarded the ship armed one by one, adding more security to the rescue operation. After all, there were many armed personnel on the cruise ship, and they should not be underestimated.

Even so, there aren't enough people.

Yan Zhuoyu opened the Maritime Safety Administration's website, found her certificates, and resolutely volunteered: "I hold an A1-class maritime yacht driving license and an advanced lifeguard qualification certificate, and am capable of driving a speedboat independently. I will be responsible for my own safety, and I will bear the consequences myself if an accident occurs. May I join the rescue team and go together?"

Upon hearing Yan Zhuoyu's request, the rescue team leader frowned, clearly weighing his options.

After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Miss Yan, we certainly trust your professional qualifications, but this rescue situation is complex and extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"

Yan Zhuoyu nodded without hesitation, eager to leave immediately: "Yes, he is my husband, and I am worried about him. I must check on his safety with my own eyes. Please trust my abilities and give me a chance."

She didn't want to just wait in the same place, nor did she want any unforeseen events to become a regret.

After exchanging glances, the team leader and his deputies finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, but please be sure to pay attention to safety and follow instructions in all actions."

Huo Wenji wanted to help, but Fu Zhuchen held him back.

"Come on, the few of us are enough. We don't need you to keep an eye on things here and prevent any trouble. Besides, isn't Xie Fu still waiting for you to come back?"

Qin Zhuyue is also going to board the ship.

Yan Zhuoyu quickly grabbed her: "Hey, why are you following me again? There's no mermaid brother you're looking for in this sea."

She was worried about Qin Zhuyue's safety. If something really happened to her, Qin Zhuyue's parents would probably be heartbroken.

Qin Zhuyue dashed to the speedboat and sat down as if she were greased, afraid that she would refuse: "We screenwriters, after all, an exciting life is the best seasoning for my scripts. Without further ado, let's get on board and set sail!"

Fu Zhuchen noticed Yan Zhuoyu's gaze. Before she could speak, he sat down next to Qin Zhuyue and said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm the director, for the same reason."

Qin Zhuyue rolled her eyes and moved far away from him.

Wen Yi also sent two people, and soon the group was all together.

Yan Zhuoyu solemnly thanked the group. They had no obligation to accompany her on this adventure, but whatever their reasons for boarding the ship—whether driven by profit or by their own desires—she was deeply grateful.

She sat in the driver's seat, maneuvering the speedboat, keeping up with the middle of the group, navigating the turbulent sea, and approaching the cruise ship where Pei Weijin was.

On the electronic nautical chart, the distance between the two ships gradually decreased, but the visibility around them decreased.

Yan Zhuoyu could only vaguely see the silhouettes of a few ships ahead, her ears filled with the sound of thunder, all other sounds drowned out.

A misty fog hung over the sea, and cold raindrops, carrying the saltiness and chill of the ocean, pattered against her face.

My clothes are getting wet, but my heart is burning with sincerity.
