Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 558

Everyone originally had a problem with Qiao Ya and his group. We saved you out of good intentions, yet you started conflicts. This is an act of returning kindness with hostility.

However, everyone appreciated Qiao Ya’s initiative to discipline his own people and recognized his performance. Smelling the strong odor of alcohol around the house, they knew how much Dong Ni had drunk.

Alright, as matters came to a close, Qiao Ya took Dong Ni away, promising to keep a close watch on him. Once Dong Ni was sober, he would apologize to everyone.

Late at night, after the commotion, everyone one by one retired to rest. Su Hui stopped Gu Fan, wanting to hear his opinion on these three people.

Gu Fan frowned and sank into deep thought before finally saying, "Dong Ni has strong combat skills, not inferior to mine, and maybe even a bit stronger. If Qiao Ya can control Dong Ni, I feel that Qiao Ya’s strength is not inferior to Sister Su’s."

"Yes, that’s also what I’m worried about. The fighting abilities of these three men is so strong, it’s astonishing. Can ordinary people really train to such a level?" Su Hui knew best. To reach such a formidable level of combat skills, in addition to long-term training, professional guidance is also needed. Su Hui and Hai have impressive skills due to their professions, but what about Qiao Ya?

Gu Fan also started to feel a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, he felt he was overthinking. After all, there were three of them, but on his side, there were more than twenty people.

"One must always be wary of others." After saying this, Su Hui left.

Gu Fan felt a bit heavy-hearted, wondering what they might do if Qiao Ya and his group were really the bad guys. Would they rob like pirates? Or, could they pretend they were stranded at sea, provide pirates with tracking clues, and then collude with the pirates?

Gu Fan remembered that Qiao Ya and his company were all dressed in designer clothes - not cheap attire for sea voyages. Pirates don’t have such good clothes and tastes.

With a sigh, Gu Fan felt sleepy. He thought about the fact that this area was international waters, and the nearest land was still several days’ voyage away. Normally, there were no pirates, so he went to sleep confidently.

The next day, when everyone was eating breakfast together, Qiao Ya, Dong Ni, and Su Lei arrived. However, Dong Ni’s face was a mess. On seeing everyone, Dong Ni’s expression was particularly awkward.

"I’m sorry!" Dong Ni said very quietly, not even daring to make eye contact with anyone. He lowered his head and concentrated on his food.

From the sight of Dong Ni’s bruised face, it was clear that Qiao Ya had really taken him to task the night before, which tamed Dong Ni completely, not daring to air any grievances.

Although Gu Fan and his company wanted to act as if the previous night’s events had not happened, they still felt awkward, especially Du Jun and Qin Jia, who kept their distance from Dong Ni, showing their complete aversion.

In order to ease the atmosphere and to get information, Su Hui asked: "You were pretty skilled in fighting yesterday. Where did you learn it?"

Qiao Ya nodded: "All three of us served in the military before, but we’ve retired now. Our combat skills were learned during our time as soldiers."

Dong Ni also said: "What about your combat skills then? You seem young, not like us, veterans."

Now, Qiao Ya and Dong Ni stared at Gu Fan with puzzled gazes. Gu Fan gave a slight smile. Even though he didn’t understand everything they said, he got the gist of it, so he simply answered, "I received professional training at a combat club, which is why I can spar a few rounds with you."

On hearing this, Qiao Ya exclaimed: "The person who trained you must be very professional. Otherwise, they couldn’t have trained an ordinary person to such a level. I bet the person who taught you combat is definitely not weaker than myself and might even be stronger."

"Really?" Gu Fan just gave a casual smile, careful not to look at Su Hui’s expression to avoid being noticed by Qiao Ya.

On hearing this, Su Hui was secretly pleased, as this was recognition of her skills by a combat expert.

"I’m really sorry about yesterday." Dong Ni wanted to say something to Qin Jia, but her uninterested demeanor put Dong Ni in an awkward situation, so he ended up explaining: "Yesterday, I drank too much. I didn’t mean to do it, I sincerely apologize to you. You didn’t lose any flesh after all."

Hearing Dong Ni’s forceful apology made everyone once again feel negatively towards him.

Du Jun was even more dissatisfied: "We don’t need your apology. We just hope you can control yourself."

"What do you mean? I just offended you once, and you guys have completely branded me a criminal. She didn’t even lose a hair indeed, did she?" Dong Ni’s words were too much, and everyone present was very annoyed.

Even if they couldn’t fully understand what Dong Ni was saying, they could feel his defiant attitude.

"Enough!" At Qiao Ya’s roar, Dong Ni immediately shut up and the atmosphere became oppressively quiet.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own tasks. Gu Fan continued to study the map, wracking his brain for a plan while Qiao Ya, Dong Ni, and Su Lei ended up in a corner of the freighter.

Qiao Ya directly punched Dong Ni, reprimanding him: "You stupid fool, listen up. If you cause more trouble before we reach our destination and complete our mission, I will definitely throw you overboard."

"Fine fine, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have drunk. But if you continue to scold me like this, I’ll definitely retaliate." Dong Ni’s stance was very firm, implying he could only back down so far.

Seeing the standoff between Qiao Ya and Dong Ni, Su Lei stepped in to mediate: "Alright, let’s put a stop to this matter. As long as Dong Ni does not drink and cause trouble, we won’t take it further. The urgent task is to reach the Triangle Sea Area as soon as possible, find those people, and complete the mission assigned by the organization. Only then can we stay alive within the organization. Keep in mind that this matter is a matter of life and death for us. I want to stay alive, so if anyone jeopardizes this mission, don’t blame me for being rude."

Neither Dong Ni nor Qiao Ya said anything. Their standoff ended, seemingly accepting Su Lei’s point.

"Alright, let’s not quibble about this anymore and make a spectacle of ourselves," Su Lei said, and led the way to a corner while Qiao Ya and Dong Ni followed silently.

On the other side, Gu Fan hid in the shadows, covertly observing Qiao Ya, Dong Ni, and Su Lei. As he was too far away, he couldn’t hear what they were arguing about. Looking at Qiao Ya and Dong Ni, almost having a fallout made him wonder, was it still about last night’s matter?

"What are you three hiding?" Gu Fan found a point of suspicion, but he didn’t voice it. All he could do was be secretly cautious.
