The battle is over!

The cabin burst out in great cheers, wild with the joy of escaping from death.

No one died, no one even got hurt, and they actually got out of this nightmare! And it was all because of this thin young man before them who did not appear very strong!

Whether it was a passenger or a member of the starship's crew, they were all indescribably grateful to Yuan Xi.

[Even] in such a warm atmosphere, Yuan Xi's expression did not relax at all. He helped the fallen middle-aged woman up from the ground, and handed her over to her husband.

Yuan Xi knew that it wasn't over yet.

As if to prove him right, the starship that as already struck twice was struck once again with a lethal blow. The aftershock from this blow was twice as violent as the previous hits.

The faces of the passengers on board changed, and the captain quickly explained: "It must be the federal patrol ship. They don't know what's going on inside the ship. When I get through to headquarters and explain [the situation] clearly, we'll be able to land [and everyone will be able to disembark] safely!"

Some of the nervous passengers were relieved as soon as he said this

Only Yuan Xi, from beginning to end, did not relax. [In fact, he felt the situation] looked even more serious than before.

The middle-aged woman caught her breath*, she noticed Yuan Xi's expression and asked in concern: "Child, do you know anything?"

Yuan Xi looked at her with hesitation in his eyes. He didn't know whether or not he should tell her what he witnessed. Rescue wasn't outside at all. They might have managed those criminals, but they were most likely going to die by their own side.

Seeing Yuan Xi's hesitation, the middle-aged woman said: "My child, my name is Lin Suyun. You can call me Aunt Lin. If you can, you might as well tell me first."

Yuan Xi looked at Lin Suyun. Lin Suyun looked about 40-years-old, but [her looks] were well-maintained. Only the small details of her appearance and clothing revealed her age.

Lin Suyun was very beautiful with very white skin, black hair, and black eyes but her eyebrows were not any less solemn than a man's. In fact, as can be seen from her previous attempt at looking weapons, this woman's character is both strong and rational.

Yuan Xi needed someone to help him think [and plan]. Thus, he lowered his voice and talked about how Feng Yun listened to the thugs' [threats and demands], how Feng Yun was indifferent [to their threats], and how the negotiation finally collapsed.

Hearing this, Lin Suyun narrowed her eyes slightly, then said to Yuan Xi: "Not all of them can be informed. It would cause riots, and then everything really will be out of control."

Yuan Xi agreed, but they couldn't be so naive as to believe that they will be rescued. They needed to save themselves, and they needed to work together to escape from this [new] crisis.

Finally, Yuan Xi said: "Everybody, quiet. Just now, I overheard the conversation between the two criminals and the federal patrol." After a pause, he added: "The negotiations were unsuccessful. The criminals finally forcibly cut off all contact with the outside world, so we can't send any information out."

Yuan Xi explained the situation clearly, but he was also vague about the whole incident at the same time, pushing all the blame onto the two dead thugs. It's not that Yuan Xi wanted to save General Feng Yun's reputation, but that he really didn't want to discourage these people.
