Chapter 1369: Overseas Investigation

Although Wu Fan has never been on the sea, he also knows that there are pirates on some sea routes. Those pirates make a living by robbing passing merchant ships. In order for merchant ships to safely pass through some sea areas where pirates are infested, they often Travel together, and even hire security forces to protect you.

Generally speaking, pirates will not take action when encountering such a large fleet with security protection, unless they are very strong, but obviously there are not many pirate organizations with such strong strength, and this is not the first time for long ocean trade. Gu Ming also knew the situation on that route. Since there had been no incidents before, it meant that the strength of the pirate organization on that route was not as good as that of the fleet.

However, an accident happened this time, which made people a little confused.

Could it be that those pirates had a headache and chose to take a risk?

Or was there a new pirate force on that route, but Gu Ming didn't know it?

The information Wu Fan knew was limited and it was difficult to judge the specific situation.

"Wu Fan, will something happen to those employees? If something happens to them, how should I explain to their families." Zhao Yanan said with worry on his face.

"Don't worry, maybe things are not that bad." Wu Fan said, "I'll contact Gu Ming first to see if he has any latest news."

"Yeah." Zhao Yanan nodded.

Later, Wu Fan called Gu Ming. On the phone, Gu Ming's voice was a little hoarse and his mood was a little irritable. Wu Fan could completely understand Gu Ming's mood at this time. Such a big thing happened to the company and it was replaced by someone else. , I was so anxious that I lost my temper. The loss of some goods was secondary. The key point was that many people disappeared along with the goods. This was a big deal.

"Boss Wu, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect this to be the case. My intention was just to complete this transaction better. Who knew that such an accident would happen midway?" Gu Ming said on the phone. Wu Fan apologized.

"Boss Gu, let's not apologize for now. No one would imagine this kind of thing, and no one would want it to happen." Wu Fan said, "The top priority now is to find and save people first."

"That's what Boss Wu said." Gu Ming said, "However, I have used many connections, but I can't find the person. They seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Boss Gu, do you think they have been killed?" Wu Fan asked.

Zhao Yanan heard Wu Fan's words and looked at Wu Fan nervously.

"Probably not." Gu Ming said: "Pirates hijack ships mostly to seek money. They may kill the security personnel, but for the crew and accompanying personnel, they will most likely demand ransom. Of course, this is also Not absolutely, but mostly.”

Wu Fan nodded and said, "Boss Gu, are you sure that pirates did this?"

Gu Ming seemed slightly stunned, and then said: "What does Boss Wu mean?"

"I'm just guessing." Wu Fan said: "There has been nothing happening on that route so far. Now that something like this happened suddenly, it is somewhat unexpected. Maybe, this incident was not caused by pirates."

"It wasn't pirates? Who could it be?" Gu Ming asked.

"I don't know about this. I'm just guessing. There is no evidence." Wu Fan said: "Maybe it's a new pirate. It's not necessarily the case. The information we have now is too limited. We can't make any judgments." It’s also extremely limited.”

"I will continue to find ways to find out more information." Gu Ming said.

"Well, if there is any news, I hope Boss Gu can inform us in time." Wu Fan said.

"Definitely." Gu Ming said.

"What did Gu Ming say?" Seeing Wu Fan hang up the phone, Zhao Yanan asked quickly.

"There is no new useful news." Wu Fan said.

Zhao Yanan was immediately disappointed.

"You go back and have a good rest first." Wu Fan said: "There is no point in rushing this matter. Gu Ming has more connections overseas than we do, so it is more useful for him to inquire about information than us."

"I'm still worried." Zhao Yanan said: "Can we do anything?"

"Leave this matter to me. You need to recuperate first. If you fail, our furniture factory will really panic." Wu Fan said.

Zhao Yanan nodded. Ever since the merchant ship's accident, there had been some rumors in the furniture factory. If she arrived at this time, I'm afraid the other employees of the furniture factory would be even more panicked.

Zhao Yanan left with worry at Wu Fan's urging.

Wu Fan was not idle. He first comforted the employees of the furniture factory as the boss. Then, he immediately left the furniture factory and bought a plane ticket to fly overseas.

Regarding the disappearance of the staff, Wu Fan was obviously not prepared to rely entirely on Gu Ming and put his hope entirely on others. This was not in line with Wu Fan's habit and he wanted to take the initiative to do something.

About an hour later, Wu Fan was already on a plane flying overseas. Of course, before getting on the plane, Wu Fan called Liu Yan'er and said that he had some things to deal with.

Liu Yan'er was already accustomed to Wu Fan being so busy, so she didn't ask any more questions, she just told him to be careful.

"Don't worry, I won't get into trouble that easily." Wu Fan smiled.

"Don't be careless. You have been in danger frequently during this period, so it's better to be careful." Liu Yan'er said.

"Um."

Naturally, Wu Fan would not refute Liu Yan'er's concern.

On the plane, Wu Fan did not encounter overly "enthusiastic" stewardesses or vicious bandits this time. This trip was very smooth.

A few hours later, Wu Fan appeared in Kamalay City, a coastal city in Europe. The city is not big, but because it is close to the sea, many ships pass through it, and trade is developed. Therefore, there are many people here and it is very prosperous, but under the surface of prosperity, it is also very dangerous. After all, it gathers people from all over the world, and these people are not necessarily good people.

Wu Fan came here not to travel or to do business. The reason why he came here is that this city is the closest city to the place where Gu Ming said the ship disappeared. Wu Fan wanted to investigate the news of the ship. Obviously, it is most appropriate to come here.

However, Wu Fan was soon dumbfounded because he forgot one thing, a very important thing.

He couldn't understand the language here!

Although Wu Fan can sign language, he can't speak other languages. The only good news is that Wu Fan can speak a little English, and there are many people who use English here. However, Wu Fan's English level is only a little bit, and there is still a long way to go before he can communicate fluently with others.

How can we investigate things if we can't speak the language?
