"I'm sorry I got you all involved in this. I didn't intend to, but since it's happened, I can only say you're not very lucky." Although Qiao Ya sounded somewhat helpless, Qin Jia faithfully translated this for him.
Gu Fan simply asked: "What are you guys here for and what is your relationship with the pirates?"
Qiao Ya could only respond with a cryptic smile; it was obvious that he was not going to reveal anything.
Dong Ni also came over, looking very alert and even slightly gleeful, "Hey, don't be scared, gorgeous. I'll think of a way to rescue you and prove that I can be more dependable than your boyfriend."
Qin Jia merely snorted in response, her disdain for Dong Ni all too clear.
Lin Xi ventured a guess: "We ran into Qiao Ya and his group earlier and their boat had capsized. They claimed they were attempting a daring crossover of the ocean, but it now seems that they were here to find the pirates. They chose to sail themselves in order to avoid detection."
