Daily life with the ship girl

"Mr. Bai, you're too polite. I can talk to Sister Ye myself." Li Ran quickly stood up and sent Bai Kuang out of the room.

Ye Qing heard that Bai Kuang valued Li Ran so much, and she also knew that this emergency contact might not be simple. She kept staring at the screen, then looked at Li Ran in front of the screen, and immediately asked:

"Little brother, you can talk to Sister Ye in detail. Maybe I can mobilize my connections here to help you find it."

Li Ran nodded, and then briefly told what he had learned about Tirpitz from Nuremberg. When he mentioned that the bartender at the Shipgirl Tavern was a heavy cruiser named D265, Ye Hong interrupted him and said:

"Are you sure it's D265?"

"Yes."

"Then wait for me a moment." Ye Hong thought for a moment, then left the screen. Then Li Ran heard the sound of someone searching for something, and a nice-sounding girl seemed to be talking to Ye Hong outside the screen. He waited for a few minutes, and finally saw Ye Hong coming back, and then he asked:

"Who was Sister Ye talking to just now?"

"Oh, a strange ship girl. She doesn't look like an unknown ship girl. She must be some powerful ship girl. By the way, I just contacted D265. She will be back in a few minutes."

"Oh, should we interrupt the video?"

"No, this device can only send from your side. Sister Ye can only passively receive. If it is cut off, how can I contact you?"

"That's right." Li Ran nodded, and then felt that there was nothing to do, so he asked about some things about Ye Qingnuangang.

Chapter 165: Turning Point (Part 2)

Ye Qing also heard something different from Bai Kuang's tone just now. It seemed that this young man held a very important position in her boss's mind. She did not hide it, and since it was not a big deal, she told Li Ran the cause of the [Barrier] operation.

After hearing this, Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart tightened again. Warm Harbor had blocked the North Sea and the Upper Corridor a week ago, which meant that Tirpitz most likely did not have time to get in, but it was also possible that Tirpitz had already entered the North Sea.

Li Ran was extremely anxious when he thought of this, and then he said quickly:

"Sister Ye, wait for me for a moment. I want to confirm something."

"Okay, I'm just going to go out and tell the ship girl sitting in the store that I'm closing early today. I guess you'll have almost finished your instructions by the time D265 comes back."

"Well, I'll see you later."

Li Ran nodded, then left the screen and walked to the balcony of the Baiyunjian Hotel. He felt the breeze and looked at the blue ocean not far away. He felt a little anxious and quickly contacted Bismarck through the admiral's personal network.

However, perhaps because of the distance, or because there were too many admirals in Qiyun Port, he felt that the connection was intermittent. However, after a few minutes of trying, Bismarck finally sensed Li Ran's exchange, and she hurriedly said to Nuremberg and the others:

"The admiral summoned me. It seems to be urgent."

Li Ran was almost dying of anxiety, but he hadn't been able to contact Bismarck in the past few minutes. Finally, he got in touch with Bismarck. Without waiting for Bismarck to ask any questions, he immediately got straight to the point and said:

"Hurry up and ask Nuremberg to estimate whether Tirpitz could have arrived at the warm harbor a week ago?"

Bismarck saw Li Ran was so anxious, she immediately said:

"I see. I'll ask right away."

"What's wrong?" Nuremberg saw Bismarck's mood had finally improved during the shopping trip, but now he had returned to his slightly grim look. She asked quickly:

"Does the Admiral have any news?"

"Nuremberg, the Admiral wants me to ask you to estimate whether my sister Tirpitz arrived at the warm harbor a week ago if the voyage went smoothly?"

"A week ago? That's unlikely. I estimate it would take at least five days to arrive."

"you sure?"

"Yes, sure. I know the speed of Tirpitz. If she is going at full speed, it is indeed not slow. But it is impossible for her to reach Warm Harbor a week ago, because if she is going at full speed, she will definitely need to refuel during the journey. So, I think it would be ideal for her to arrive at least five days ago."

"Okay, I'll report back to the admiral right away." Seeing Nuremberg's firm tone, Bismarck nodded, and then reported the matter to Li Ran.

Li Ran finally heard Nuremberg's estimate in the intermittent communication. It was impossible for them to arrive seven days ago, at most five days ago. In that case, it would be easier for Tirpitz to launch the "Barrier" operation. In other words, things really took a turn for the better?

No, it was not time to be happy yet. Li Ran hung up the call with Bismarck and breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he sat back in front of the screen, his heart tightened again and he could not help but pray in a low voice:

"But even so, it may not be easy to find a ship girl in a place as big as Nuan Harbor. Sister Ye, please give me some help."

After sitting in front of the screen for a few minutes, she finally heard Ye Qing shouting to a ship girl outside the screen:

"D264, where is your sister D265?"

"Oh. She was stopped by the senior outside."

"Nonsense, what time is it now?" Ye Qing was a little angry, and a little dissatisfied with the ship girl who had been staying in her tavern all this time. She thought that the boss valued Li Ran very much, and the boss used the emergency communication equipment, which meant that solving Li Ran's problem was equivalent to solving Sihai Trading Company's problem. She felt that she was right, and she kept muttering:

"Don't ruin the boss's plan."

You know, Ye Qing was able to live until now because of the shelter of Sihai Trading Company. At that time, the company assigned her here. Bai Kuang personally explained to her the things behind the instrument, which made Ye Qing feel very touched. She regarded Sihai Trading Company as her home.

The situation at home is critical now. If I have offended someone, I will just take it easy.

Ye Qing was thinking so and was about to push open D264, but saw D265 walk in.

D265 looked at Ye Hong with an ugly and strange expression:

"Boss lady? What's wrong with you?"

"You, I'm talking to you, didn't I tell you to come back and meet me here right away? What's going on? Is it about the business..."

"Boss lady, please calm down. I asked Xiao D to have a conversation with me. I'm sorry if I have delayed anything for you, boss lady."

"Hey, guest, you don't know that I have a big thing going on here."

"That's my fault."

"It's okay. I've been relying on you to come to my shop these days so that I won't starve to death. Come on, D264, you can entertain this guest."

"Well, please, senior."

"You're welcome. I won't bother the boss lady anymore."

Ye Qing nodded, then sighed and was no longer angry. She said to D265, "Come in quickly."

"Oh. Here it comes." D265 stuck out her tongue and followed Ye Qing into the room.

Li Ran had been listening to the conversation on the other side of the screen. When Ye Hong appeared in front of the screen, he asked quickly:

"Just now?"

"Oh, it's okay. I brought D265 here. If you have anything, just talk to her directly."

"Well, it's like this..." Li Ran nodded, knowing that there was no time to lose. When D265 appeared in front of the screen, his face did not look very pretty, only more delicate than that of an ordinary girl. Moreover, the head ornaments on her head were metal ship spears and the like. Was she really an unknown ship girl?

He then felt that his thoughts had strayed a little, so he quickly turned back and briefly recounted what Nuremberg had said.

After hearing this, the nameless heavy cruiser ship girl D265 showed a surprised expression, and then seemed to ask Ye Qing if she could trust Li Ran. After getting Ye Qing's affirmative answer, she said:

"You are the Admiral, right? You are right. Senior Nuremberg did come to our tavern a few months ago. I was the one who entertained Senior Nuremberg and Senior Tirpitz at that time."

"Well, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Please speak, Admiral."

"It's like this..." Li Ran told the nameless heavy cruiser D265 about his own ship Bismarck and what he learned from Nuremberg about Tirpitz going to Warm Harbor. Then he saw D264 was silent for a while.

Li Ran took a look and realized that it was bad. This matter might not work. Was the turning point that had just appeared about to happen going to be shattered?

Ye Qing also noticed that Li Ran's expression seemed to have turned ugly. She looked at D265 for a long time without saying anything. She became anxious:

"Just tell me, this matter is really frustrating, you silly girl."

"I'm sorry, Admiral. I was a little rude. I was just checking two things you said. Well, it's like this. Senior Tirpitz..."

"What's wrong with her?" Li Ran was worried.

"Don't be impatient, Admiral. I haven't finished yet." D265 looked at Li Ran helplessly. She sighed and said:

"I meant to say that Senior Tirpitz is in our store."

"What?" Ye Hong was stunned for a moment, she waved her hand and said:

"Aren't there no customers in our store? Wait, what do you mean?"

"What is it? You two are making me anxious to death." Li Ran was almost dying of anxiety.

"Little brother, do you remember that I just told you that there was a customer who had been staying in the store for the past few days?"

"I know. Weren't you talking to her just now?"

"The guest D265 is talking about is most likely Tirpitz." Ye Qing said.

"Madam, that's not possible. She is Sister Tirpitz. She just doesn't allow us to talk about it casually."

"Little Brother Li, what do you think?"

"Wait, let me think about it. This is such an exciting development. It's really a piece of cake. So, don't tell anyone about this. I'll ask Bismarck to come back right away."

Ye Qing looked at the strange purple liquid inside the deep-sea energy crystal and saw that more than half of it had disappeared. She smiled bitterly and said:

"Little brother, hurry up, I only have this one energy crystal, and it can only last for ten minutes."

"Ten minutes, then we will cut off contact first to save resources. When Bismarck arrives, I will contact Sister Ye immediately."

"Row."

Li Ran nodded, then cut off the communication with the instrument. Watching the screen dim, he took off the crystal. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally give Bismarck an explanation. However, it was too early to be happy. Li Ran glanced at the instrument, then walked out to the balcony. He had been trying to contact Bismarck through the admiral's personal network, but he had not been able to get in touch. Ten minutes passed, and Li Ran was extremely anxious.

Bismarck returned to the ninth floor of the Baiyunjian Hotel more than ten minutes later. Because Bai Nuoyan was responsible for the location selection of the branch, he asked Hipper to bring him back, and Nuremberg was responsible for temporarily protecting Bai Nuoyan's safety for Hipper.

As soon as she entered the room, she found Bai Kuang busy writing something, but she didn't see Li Ran, so she asked quickly:

"Mr. Bai. Where is my admiral?"

"Brother Li, he might be in there."

Bai Kuang pointed to the room where the instruments were placed, and then continued to work.

Bismarck and Hipper looked at each other. Bismarck knew that Hipper was worried about Bai Nuoyan, so she smiled and said:

"Go ahead. I'm already here. It looks like we won't be able to go shopping today. I'll go shopping with you guys tomorrow."

"It's a deal then. I'll go back first. Mr. Bai's safety is in your hands." Hipper nodded and said after a moment of silence.

"No problem." Bismarck answered briefly.

Hipper closed the door. Bismarck watched the door being closed and then she entered the room that Bai Kuang had been mentioning, but she saw no one there.

"Admiral?" Bismarck was a little anxious. She was about to shout. But she saw someone behind the curtain in front of the balcony lift the curtain and stick his head out. Bismarck looked at Li Ran's face, which was covered with sweat and anxious, and said to herself happily:

"Bismarck, your sister has been found."

In an instant, Bismarck felt that no love words in the world could compare to the destructive power of Li Ran's words. She was suddenly a little confused, and was stunned for a long time before she could react.

Li Ran thought Bismarck was overjoyed. He pulled Bismarck's hand and quickly inserted the energy crystal into the groove. He then said while operating:

"This should be done like this. Wait a minute. You will be able to see your sister soon. Wait a minute. How do I do this? Don't worry. I'll go ask Mr. Bai. Give me a minute. Right away."

As Li Ran spoke, he let go of Bismarck's hand, then hurriedly ran to the next room and pulled Bai Kuang over.

"Brother Li, please slow down. It's just a few steps. I have old bones."

Li Ran also knew that he was anxious, but he lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry for being rude today, but I want Bismarck to meet her sister as soon as possible."

"Okay, young man, you just lack patience. This makes you happy. Hey, I have a hard life." Bai Kuang cursed with a smile, then followed Li Ran back to the instrument. After fiddling with it for a while, he felt a little strange:

"There's nothing wrong with us, right? Why haven't you responded yet?"

"Did something happen?" Li Ran's heart suddenly tightened.

"Admiral, it doesn't matter if we can't get in touch with you for the time being." Bismarck thought Li Ran wanted to comfort her. She couldn't help feeling disappointed, but then she revealed a somewhat ugly smile.

"No, I really found it. Mr. Bai, please don't let your instrument fail at the critical moment."

"Got it, got it, let's take a look, let's take a look." Bai Kuang was also a little puzzled, but just when they were at a loss, the other side finally appeared in front of the screen.

"Little brother, I just went out for a while, what? So fast?"

"Sister Ye, stop talking. Can you please invite that guest over?"

"Oh, I'll try."

"Sister Ye, please don't try. You must do it. I beg you."

"Okay, okay, you keep calling me Sister Ye. I can't let you suffer any loss. Wait for me for a moment. Don't be so impetuous, young man."

Li Ran was ecstatic:

"Hey, thank you Sister Ye for your help."

"Okay, wait." Ye Qing nodded with satisfaction, then left the screen.
