The crew members were terrified and huddled together, praying for their survival.
Suddenly, someone burst into tears, and the panic spread like wildfire. Xiao Xu, one of the crew members, screamed in horror,
[ " They must have come to kill us, they must have come to kill us. " ]
Wei Jianshe, the ship's captain, wanted to reassure everyone, but he, too, was consumed by fear. He was just an ordinary person, and the thought of death terrified him.
The room door burst open as they waited in terror, and the hijackers' leader strode in. He looked at the crew members disgustedly and said, [ " You have been rescued! The Global Shipping Group has paid a ransom of US$100 million, and you can leave immediately. " ]
The crew members were stunned. They didn't understand English, but they could sense the shift in tone. They had expected to die, but now they were being set free.
