"Who's there?! Who's making that noise?!" Upon hearing the metallic clash, the crew member bellowed loudly, directing the light in his hand towards the source of the sound. At the same moment, the crew member inspecting on the other side of the cargo hold and the three kitchen helpers all dropped what they were doing and rushed to the side of the crew member who had shouted. Yungo, after Grace's left hand hit the shelf, quickly pulled her behind a nearby fully automatic forklift.

Seeing that the crew member who had shouted towards Yungo and Grace received no response, one of the kitchen helpers coldly said, "Hum! Don't hide! We've already spotted you! Come out now! Otherwise, we won't be polite!"

As soon as the kitchen helper finished speaking, two crew members holding flashlights each took out their sidearms and aimed them at the area where Yungo and Grace were hiding. Then, the five of them slowly encircled the area illuminated by the flashlights.

Grace, who had taken cover behind the forklift, winced and shook her left hand as she said in frustration, "Damn it! I didn't notice that the shelf was a bit wider than the others! What do we do now?"

"Don't worry! As long as they don't find out we've been in the cold storage, we shouldn't get into too much trouble!" Yungo said. He was confident in this because he was certain that he and Grace had well concealed their traces when they left the cold storage.

"But how do we explain why we're here?" Grace asked anxiously again, judging from the sounds coming from the other side of the forklift, the five crew members were now very close to the two.

"Uh -, right! I have an idea! But it's going to be a bit tough on you!" Yungo said after thinking quickly.

"What idea?" Grace asked with a frown when she saw Yungo looking at her chest while speaking.

Yungo made a gesture of please don't misunderstand, then quickly replied, "Anyway, I'm doing this to help us get out of danger! You just need to cooperate with me!"

Without waiting for Grace to react, Yungo reached out and opened her uniform, then tore apart a part of the shirt she was wearing underneath to ensure that Grace's impressive chest could be vaguely displayed. Grace was startled by Yungo's sudden action and immediately wanted to slap him. Yungo made a wry smile, indicating that he had no choice and hoped Grace would not be angry. Then he quickly took off his shirt and meticulously undid his belt, letting his pants hang loosely around his waist.

Seeing Yungo's bold actions, Grace naturally blushed with anger and shyness. However, she soon understood Yungo's idea and realized that his approach seemed to be the best way to get out of the predicament at the moment. So, while silently scolding Yungo, Grace took off her coat, removed her hairpin, and tousled her hair, making sure she looked as if she had just been through an indescribable battle.

"Humph! If you don't come out, don't blame us for being rude!" Just as Yungo and Grace were hastily dressing up, the impatient shout came from the other side of the forklift. And after the shout, the two heard the sound of weapons being cocked.

"Don't! Everyone, don't be impulsive! It's us! We're coming out!" Seeing the situation was about to go badly, Yungo quickly raised his hands holding his coat, pleading a little panicked, and cautiously poked his head out from behind the forklift.

"Who are you people?!" The crew member who first spotted Yungo and Grace asked in a very serious tone after Yungo poked his head out.

"Hehehe! Everyone, don't be nervous! It's me! I'm Yungo from the spaceship command center!" Yungo waved his hands in fear, indicating that he would not pose a threat to the crew members, and said awkwardly.

Although there are more than two hundred permanent crew members on the Express Vanguard, they all know each other well because they work together all year round. The reason why the five crew members didn't recognize Yungo at first was because they were in a state of high tension. Moreover, it was because Yungo was under the illumination of two strong lights, which made it difficult for the crew members to recognize his identity at first.

However, after Yungo spoke, and the two crew members moved the flashlights a little, they immediately recognized the person in front of them. So, the two armed crew members slowly lowered their guns and let out a breath. The kitchen helper continued to ask with a vigilant tone, "So it's you! What are you doing here?"

"Oh! We, actually -, well -, we -" Yungo scratched his head awkwardly, then laughed. Then, he reached out and pulled Grace, who had already gotten into the role, from behind the forklift.

After being forcibly pulled out from behind the forklift, Grace saw several people standing outside and hurriedly hid behind Yungo, then said in a panicked tone, "We, we just -, we are not what you think!"

Seeing Yungo and Grace in disarray and trying to explain in a logically inconsistent language, the five crew members immediately understood what was going on. So, the five people who were serious a second ago immediately laughed. Judging from the gossipy faces of the five people, they might exaggerate this romantic news when they return to the kitchen later!

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Of course, everyone laughed, but the things that needed to be figured out still needed to be asked. So, the kitchen helper spoke again, "You came here to do the couple's thing?"

"Of course!" Yungo answered without hesitation. As soon as his words came out, his head was knocked hard by Grace hiding behind him.

Then, Grace defended in a panic, "Don't! Don't listen to his nonsense! We are not a couple! It's not what you think!"

Yungo rubbed his head with a wry smile and said awkwardly, "Well! Actually, we are really bored being in the rest cabin every day, so -"

The crew member who first spotted them saw Yungo didn't know how to describe it, so he put away his sidearm and said, "Hahaha! Don't say it! Brother understands what you mean! Oh! But people can't judge a book by its cover! I really can't believe you two guys are playing so much behind closed doors! Hahaha!"

"Yes! The younger couples nowadays have more and more tricks!"

"That's right! I said why these two guys don't want to eat with everyone in the canteen? It turns out they want to sneak out to play exciting when everyone is not paying attention! Hahaha!"

"Ah? You can't say that! The two of them have just established a lover relationship, and they are in the period of passionate burning, so they naturally enjoy the beauty of life very much!"

Although Yungo and Grace did not have a relationship, and until now, they have only held hands just now in that terrifying situation. However, the five crew members teased them so bluntly that they were so shy that they wanted to find a crack to get in. But to put it another way, they were also relieved that they had successfully resolved this crisis without arousing the suspicion of the five crew members.

At the same time, the two also reminded themselves again that the reason why these five crew members were so serious just now and even took out their sidearms to aim at themselves was enough to show that they had a guilty conscience. Or, the reason why these five crew members were so defensive was that they had already become puppets controlled by Virus X.

The five crew members teased Yungo and Grace for a while, and the kitchen helper finally put away his gossipy look and said, "Alright! Since it's a false alarm, we won't blame you! But since Captain Tim previously ordered that during this special period, no one is allowed to move around in areas that are not within their scope of work without his command. So, since you two seriously violated Captain Tim's order, we need to report this and take you to the captain, and then see how the captain will punish you!"

Hearing this kitchen helper say so, Yungo and Grace were both delighted in their hearts. Because this meant that the two people's acting skills had successfully deceived the five crew members, and the five crew members would not further suspect the other motives of the two people appearing here. As for the crew members sending themselves to Captain Tim, Yungo and Grace were not too nervous. After all, the different status of the two people in Captain Tim's heart, so even if they would be punished by Captain Tim, the punishment would definitely not be too severe. So, the two pretended to be dejected and hung their heads in resignation, standing there obediently waiting to be taken by the crew members to Captain Tim for processing.

"Let's go! Let's go see Captain Tim right away! After sending you to see the captain, we still have to come back to continue working! You know, with the successful holding of the first Food Festival, everyone's appetite has become better and better. So now, we have to prepare more ingredients in advance, otherwise we can't keep up with everyone's eating speed!" The kitchen helper said and signaled the other two kitchen helpers to take the lead, and then he and the two armed crew members escorted Yungo and Grace to walk out of the cargo hold together.

Yungo and Grace obviously didn't expect that these five crew members would escort them to Captain Tim's office together, and they were escorted in such a very tight formation. This made the two people vaguely realize that the seriousness of this matter might be much greater than they imagined.

Could it be that these five crew members saw that the two were just pretending to be intimate again? Could it be that the crew members have suspected that the two had entered the cold storage behind? If these five crew members are deliberately showing a very relaxed appearance in order to beat the grass to startle the snake, does it mean that when they arrive at Captain Tim's office later, and find out the real purpose of the two entering the cargo hold, they will show their fangs and attack the two? Thinking of this, Yungo and Grace's mood became more nervous.

On the way to the captain's office, although the seven people occasionally chatted a few non-essential topics, Yungo and Grace could feel that under the five crew members' pleasant expressions, there was a high level of vigilance against the two people. This made the seemingly harmonious atmosphere between the seven people look very awkward, and the more everyone tried to use small talk to enliven the atmosphere, the more the atmosphere became awkward and serious. So in the end, the seven people tacitly stopped chatting and instead sped up a bit, walking silently towards the captain's office.

"Captain, this is roughly the process of the matter. We have also inspected the scene and found no evidence that the two of them stole any goods in the cargo hold." The kitchen helper who seemed to be the leader introduced the situation in detail.

Captain Tim, who was leaning against the table, didn't speak for a while after listening to the whole story. Instead, he stared at Yungo and Grace sitting in front of him with a sharp look like an eagle. After a while, Captain Tim asked seriously, "Are you really just going there for thrills? Did you really not touch anything in the cargo hold? You know, what's placed there is the customer's valuables! If you accidentally damaged an item, we would have to pay a huge compensation, and our reputation in the industry would be seriously damaged!"

"Re, report to the captain, Grace and I really just went there for thrills, we really didn't touch anything in the cargo hold. We are really bored in the rest cabin every day, so we thought of finding a spacious place -" Yungo replied with great embarrassment.

Although what Yungo said was a lie, this topic was too sensitive for girls. Therefore, Grace couldn't say a word at this time because she became the heroine of the taboo topic, and could only bury her head deeply. However, Grace's reaction made Captain Tim and the five crew members more certain that the purpose of these two restless young people sneaking into the cargo hold was indeed to do some shy things.

Therefore, Captain Tim didn't wait for Yungo to finish speaking, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said, "Alright! We don't need to know the specific details! I ask you again! Did you two guys really not walk around and touch anything in the cargo hold?!"
