Chapter 63: Troubles

Half a month later, Qi Yiming's Xuefeng arrived at the border star system of the Pan-Universe Business Alliance.

After completing the customs clearance procedures and paying a considerable fee, Qi Yiming obtained a detailed star map of the Business Alliance.

As expected of a business alliance, money is needed to pave the way for everything.

In order to pay the toll, Qi Yiming had to sell a small half of the war energy blocks on the Xuefeng to make up the money.

Qi Yiming found the nearest free port on the star map and prepared to meet with the fleet that arrived first.

The free port of the Business Alliance is obviously different from the free port of the Wanluo Empire.

Outside the free port of the Business Alliance are various types of cargo ships waiting to enter the port, and private spacecraft are rarely seen entering and leaving the airport.

Accompanying the cargo ships are escort warships of various types.

Although this is only a small port in the border star system, the team waiting to enter the port circles around the planetary orbit where the airport is anchored.

Qi Yiming queued for several hours before entering the airport.

During this time, Qi Yiming contacted Wang Shuhua at the frequency he and Wang Shuhua agreed on, but the other party didn't respond, so Qi Yiming didn't take it seriously.

When they arrived at the airport berth, the crew members were given a holiday as usual, and Qi Yiming, who was left on duty, also got off the ship, ready to find out if there was any news about Wang Shuhua and the others.

But Qi Yiming felt something was wrong as he walked, because the people passing by were discussing the same topic.

"Have you heard about it? Some time ago, a group of nouveau riche came and transported a whole ship of energy blocks, but Boss Mao took away both the people and the ship."

"I heard about it. I also heard that there are a lot of valuable things on the remaining two cargo ships. That fleet doesn't look like a business, but a fleet preparing for a long journey."

"I heard that a captain of that fleet threatened Boss Mao at the time, saying that when their boss comes, he must make Boss Mao and his people pay the price..."

"Is there such a fool? Boss Mao has people on board, otherwise how could he be so successful in this area?"

"Who said it wasn't..."

As the two gradually walked away, Qi Yiming didn't hear their subsequent conversation, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Damn... Could it be Wang Shuhua and his people who were kidnapped?" Qi Yiming scratched his head and thought carefully.

The more he thought about it, the worse it felt. He quickly notified Wang Sen, who was on duty on the ship, and asked him to send everyone out to find out the news about Wang Shuhua and his people.

The result was the same as Qi Yiming guessed. It was indeed the fleet led by Wang Shuhua that was hijacked.

No need to ask, it must be Xu Ruifeng who caused the trouble.

Among the three people, Xu Ruifeng had the most eccentric personality. He could be regarded as a person who adjusted the atmosphere during the long interstellar voyage, but he was also very clear when he caused trouble.

"Have you found out the information about this cat boss?" Qi Yiming asked Wang Sen with a frustrated face.

"Then why do we need to find out? Just ask anyone at the airport and you will know!" Wang Sen said and was about to grab a passerby who passed by them.

Qi Yiming quickly stopped Wang Sen: "What are you doing? Isn't it embarrassing enough? People think you are a bumpkin... Just say you found out!"

The whole thing happened very suddenly.

Wang Shuhua and his friends arrived here half a month ago. At the beginning, everyone was very careful. After all, it was their first time to go out.

The problem was Xu Ruifeng.

In the first few days after arriving, Xu Ruifeng was still very honest and basically stayed on his warship.

After a long time, he thought of having some fun in the airport.

The airport is full of businessmen, what fun can he find?

Apart from drinking, there is only gambling left.

At first, Xu Ruifeng knew to restrain himself, but just a week ago, Xu Ruifeng drank a lot in the bar, and did not return to his warship, but went straight to a famous casino in the airport.

Then he lost everything as expected.

The casino security guard saw that a drunkard had lost everything but his pants and was ready to throw him out, but Xu Ruifeng was of course not convinced.

In excitement, he told others that there was a cargo ship in the fleet full of energy sectors.

The news spread quickly and soon reached Boss Cat.

At first, Boss Cat could not believe that someone would be so stupid as to expose such a large amount of wealth.

In the end, Boss Cat had Xu Ruifeng tied up with the idea of ​​trying his luck.

As a result, this guy not only did not back down, but actually threatened Boss Cat on the spot, saying that when his boss came, he would make Boss Cat and his men pay for it.

Who could tolerate this?

Boss Cat simply went all out and took his men to hijack the entire fleet from the airport.

Unexpectedly, he actually found a warehouse full of energy blocks on a cargo ship.

As for the background of this Boss Cat? The fact that he could hijack people and ships from the airport without alerting the official personnel is already very telling.

"Didn't Boss Cat leave any message?" Qi Yiming asked Wang Sen after listening to the whole process.

Wang Sen looked at Qi Yiming in confusion: "What message?"

"Like ransom?" Qi Yiming had never dealt with this kind of people, so he stereotyped that Boss Cat would definitely leave a message to pay the ransom.

"What ransom do you want? How much money do you plan to use to redeem the energy block of that ship?" Wang Sen looked at Qi Yiming with an idiotic look: "Even if you can come up with so much money, the problem is that they have energy blocks in their hands. Why do they want a ransom?"

Qi Yiming was stunned: "If they don't want a ransom, how can I catch the thief first?"

Looking at Qi Yiming's embarrassment, Wang Sen directly threw him an information storage device: "This is the location of Boss Cat's nest. It depends on whether we can get in."

Qi Yiming looked at Wang Sen in surprise: "How did you get this location?"

"Don't look at me. Boss Cat's hiding place in this star field is no secret. As long as you are a businessman in this area, you have to go to Boss Cat's hiding place to pay protection fees." Wang Sen said helplessly to Qi Yiming.

"Fuck... so arrogant?" This was the first time Qi Yiming had seen such pirates openly collecting protection fees.

"Who said it wasn't? I was also surprised when I first heard about it, but the problem is that everyone said it with details, so you can't help but not believe it." Wang Sen shrugged his shoulders to indicate that no matter whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

Qi Yiming thought for a while before saying to Wang Sen: "Don't rush to do it. After all, we are unfamiliar with the place. It's best to solve it peacefully. Let's find a local to talk to that cat boss."

Of course, the whole process inevitably received a lot of idiotic looks.

But at least the person entrusted agreed to make a trip for the sake of money, but there was no guarantee that there would be any good results.

Of course, Qi Yiming didn't expect any good results. He sent people to talk mainly to find out if his people were okay, and secondly, the problem of the energy sector.

After that, everyone who had nothing to do could only waste time in the airport.

Qi Yiming really couldn't stand the way people in the airport looked at them, so he asked Wang Sen to wait for news alone in the airport, and he returned to the Xuefeng alone to study the space conditions around the Cat Boss's hiding place, to see if there were any abnormalities, etc.
