Weng! *

Xu Taiping was awakened by the sound of the whistle.

He abruptly sat up from the bed, then panted rapidly.

After a few seconds, Xu Taiping seemed to realize something. He lowered his head and looked at his chest.

A robe appeared on his body that he had never seen before. This was a slightly tight blue shirt. The clothes were very long, but it looked very clean.

As a result of his job habit, Xu Taiping quickly looked around.

He was in a small room, about seven or eight square meters, with a desk next to his bed and several books and notebooks on it.

Xu Taiping had done many jobs before, so he immediately knew that he was somewhere in the cabin.

Xu Taiping quickly got up from the bed. As he moved, he suddenly felt an unprecedented feeling of weakness. As soon as he stepped on the floor, his knees went weak and he fell to his knees.

Just then, the cabin door was opened by someone. A brown skinned person stood at the door, looking at Xu Taiping in surprise.

Xu Taiping also looked at him in surprise.

"You … Why do you have to be so courteous to me? We saved you, but. There's no need to do this, right? " the man asked.

"Who are you? "Where is this place?" As Xu Taiping spoke, he struggled to stand up, only to find out that he was extremely weak. His hands and feet didn't have much strength, and his breathing didn't have much strength, as if he was seriously injured.

"My name is Gel. This is my real name. You're on our ship and I'm on my way home." the man called Gel said.

"Gel?" Xu Taiping stared blankly for a moment. He had never heard of anyone using that name before.

"This is a transliteration. I'm not from China, I'm from Sinia." Gel explained.

Siniya was an island nation in Southeast Asia, not far from China.

"You said you wanted to go home. You mean, we're going to Sinia now?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Of course, we have to go home. Our ship is carrying a ship from Hong Kong, so we can make a lot of money. Ah, yes, you haven't told me your name yet, Waterman." the gel asked.

"My name is Xu Liu." Xu Taiping looked at the gel.

"Stay? Oh, so your name is Xu Liu! " The gel nodded.

"Where did you find me?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Us? We found you floating on the surface of the water outside the city. We thought that you were dead, but we didn't expect that after pulling you aboard the ship, we discovered that you weren't dead. It's strange that you weren't injured either, you just fainted! " said the gel.

"Not injured?" Xu Taiping's pupils shrank, then he opened his collar and looked inside.

The wound from before, where his chest had been, was gone.

Xu Taiping raised his hand and touched his chest.

He could clearly feel that there was a heart beating inside, but it was very weak. It was also because of this weakness that Xu Taiping's body was very weak.

Xu Taiping tried clenching his fists, but found that he didn't have any strength left in his hands.

"Hurry up and get up. Stop kneeling down. I'm not your parents." The gel spoke as it helped Xu Taiping up.

Xu Taiping was helped to his feet and sat on the bed.

With such a simple action, Xu Taiping was already panting like a cow. He felt like he couldn't lift it up in one breath, that he was about to suffocate.

"Why did you fall into the sea? Was it thrown in by someone? Or did he accidentally fall down? " the gel asked.

"Me?" Xu Taiping furrowed his brows, trying his best to look as if he was deep in thought.

"What's wrong?" the gel asked.

"I can't remember." Xu Taiping shook his head, "I don't remember what happened. I only know that my name is Xu Liu, but I can't remember anything else."

"Ah?!" Gel was stunned, he said in surprise, "Did you lose your memory?"

"I think so, you bastard. Damn it, why can't I remember anything other than my own name?!" Xu Taiping shouted in excitement.

"Don't be so excited, wait a moment, I'll go call our captain!" He turned and walked away.

Seeing that the gel had left, Xu Taiping's excited expression instantly disappeared. Of course, he couldn't really lose his memory, but he had to pretend to lose it because Xu Taiping realized something in such a short period of time.

The first thing Xu Taiping realized was that he was currently very weak, the type that was like a thief or a chicken. Let alone being tall, he couldn't even walk normally, so he had to conceal his identity. That was why he gave himself a fake name.

Second, if Xu Taiping hadn't lost his memories and clearly remembered where he came from, then he would have to return to Sinia. However, the current Xu Taiping didn't dare to return to China, because the person who had heavily injured him at the dock was not someone he could deal with.

Even if he hadn't become weaker, he still wouldn't have been able to deal with that person, not to mention right now, if that guy knew that he had returned back home, then he, Xu Taiping, would most likely face a second assassination attempt. At that time, that guy might not have been able to kill him.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Xu Taiping had just killed so many shareholders of the KBX company. Even if the KBX company did not find any clues, but with the KBX company's overbearing style of doing things, if they decided that he had killed those shareholders, then they would definitely come looking for him. If he was in his prime, then they would naturally not be afraid to come looking for him, and at that time, a few of them would come looking for him.

So, no matter what, Xu Taiping couldn't go back. At least he couldn't go back at this time, he couldn't even contact the people in the country, because with the KBX Corporation's power, once they contacted the people in the country, they might be able to detect it.

For Xu Taiping, pretending to be stupid was the only way to survive!

Just as Xu Taiping was thinking about the way out for the future, he heard footsteps coming from outside the cabin.

Following which, Xu Taiping saw a group of people appear in front of the cabin door.

The person in the lead was actually a woman, and a super beauty at that!

When Xu Taiping saw this woman, he had an unreal feeling. Such a beautiful woman shouldn't have appeared on this freighter.

The woman standing in front of Xu Taiping was around thirty years old, her skin was brown, and through the exposure of the sun and the wind, her brown skin emitted a healthy glow. Her hair was golden, and it was a bright gold, and it was obvious that she had a Western blood in it.

This woman's facial features were very stereoscopic. It was likely due to her Western bloodline, but there was also a hint of Oriental charm to her.

His whole body gave off a very nice feeling, and he smelled like sunlight.

"I heard from the gel that you lost your memory?" the woman asked.

"Yes, I can't recall the past. I only remember my name. You are?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I'm the captain of this ship. You can call me Luo Juan, or you can call me Sister Jun." The woman said.

"Luo Juan? How can it be China's name! " Xu Taiping asked.

"A lot of us in Sinia have the surname of Huaxia. My father is a Sinanian and my mother is European." Luo Juan explained.

"Oh, I see!" Xu Taiping was enlightened.

We found you in the sea outside Hong Kong, so we didn't know why you were in the sea. At that time, because we had to rush back to China, we didn't send you back to Hong Kong, so we decided to wait until you arrived in our country to see where you came from. Now, you say that you've forgotten who you are. Luo Juan said with a frown.

"I really can't remember anything else about me." Xu Taiping furrowed his brows, clutching his head, trying his best to show an angry and dispirited look on his face.

"It's fine, there's no need to be anxious. You can stay with us for now. We'll be able to return home tomorrow night. I'll take you to the hospital then." Luo Juan said.

"Thank you, you really are good people." Xu Taiping said gratefully.

"Everyone that walks on the sea is like that." A bright smile appeared on Luo Juan's face, then she said, "Rest well, I heard from Gel that you can't even stand properly right now, that won't do, the sea won't pity the weak. In the sea, you can only survive better if you're strong yourself!"

"Yeah, I know." Xu Taiping nodded, and then said, "Can I go out for a walk?"

"Whatever, but remember, don't go to the ship's railing. You're too weak, and if you fall into the sea, you might drown." Luo Juan said.

"En, alright!" Xu Taiping nodded.

"I'm going to the captain's quarters. If you need anything, come find me." As she spoke, she led her men away, leaving behind only a gel.

"Is our captain good-looking?" The gel sat beside Xu Taiping and asked with a smile.

"Beautiful, such a beautiful woman, how did she become a captain just like that?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because our former captain was her man." Gel explained.

"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow and asked, "And then?"

"Then one time, we went out to sea and encountered a storm. The captain was hit by the waves and was thrown into the sea, and disappeared. Then, Sister Juan became our captain, and this ship belonged to Sister Juan." said the gel.

"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping was suddenly enlightened. According to the gel, Luo Juan was a widow.
