The boat in the dark had only a dim light.

The dim light was reflected in the water, giving it an abnormal color.

Cheng Zheng was sitting by the window, looking at the sh.o.r.e as if he could see the woman that could no longer be seen. He was motionless as he looked at the dark sh.o.r.e, trying to draw her image in his mind

You cant bear to part with her? Ye Lun lifted his trouser legs and sat down beside him. If I take both of you out of the country, he said in a teasing tone, you could have her all to yourself. By then, Bai Muchuan wouldnt be able to fight with you for her.

Cheng Zheng snorted in disagreement. Whats the use when her heart is not with me?

Tch! Ye Lun couldnt take it and laughed coolly. Heart? Whats that thing?

Cheng Zheng turned for a glance but stayed all quiet as he continued to stare at the sh.o.r.e.

Ye Lun snorted coldly, After shes been with you a long time, she wont remember Bai Muchuan. You will be with her every day and she will be yours Although youre a talent in technology, I feel that youre stupid.

This fellow had a sharp tongue.

Cheng Zheng looked at him coldly. Isnt it more for your convenience to bring her along so you could control me?

Why did you have to make it sound so unpleasant? I did this all for the sake of you so that you could concentrate on developing the biochemical weapons we need. Whats wrong with that?

Cheng Zheng behaved like he didnt hear anything and kept quiet for a moment.

So is she safe?

Shes safe. Dont worry!

Cheng Zheng remained quiet.

Ye Lun took out the night vision telescope and pa.s.sed it to him. You can see it for yourself! Were leaving in a moment. She will stay there until dawn at most. Even if Bai Muchuan doesnt come, she will be found by others

Mm. Cheng Zheng took the telescope and looked at the sh.o.r.e.

He saw Xiang Wan being bound and sat on the ground in a kneeling position. She hung her head low and her hair was floating before her face in the winds. There were also two of Ye Luns underlings who stood guard beside her.

Im worried. Cheng Zheng looked at it and frowned. Let your people leave her right away and inform Bai Muchuan.

Ye Lun was irritated. Do you treat me like a fool?

Or you can dial 110, said Cheng Zheng casually, so Bai Muchuan will not come so soon. However, you must let your men go first, otherwise, how can I guarantee her safety?

Ye Lun was enraged. Cheng Zheng, you really know how to push your luck.

Cheng Zheng asked, Do you accept it?

Ye Lun gritted his teeth. I accept.

Then he turned and ordered one of his men. Call them to leave the place.

Roger!

Cheng Zheng listened as that subordinate lowered his head to talk. A glow appeared in his pair of cold eyes

The sea under the dark night seemed borderless.

Cheng Zheng was looking at the direction towards Xiang Wan through the binoculars. He saw that the men left Xiang Wan alone and left in a car But she remained motionless like a sculpture. Cheng Zheng waited quietly for another moment before putting the telescope down and stared at the reflection of the lamp in the water. We can go now!

Ye Lun grunted with displeasure and strode away, and at the same time, he spoke in a loud voice.

Houzi, I leave everything here to you! Ill go out for some fresh air This is infuriating!

There had been a long delay there. It was evident that he did not want to delay anymore and went out in a huff. The boat was all ready to go. Just a few minutes after Ye Lun left, the boat started to leave the sh.o.r.e.

There were ripples on the surface of the water as the boat started to move. Cheng Zheng was feeling uneasy, thinking about when Bai Muchuan would come.

Ye Lun did not come back in.

A burly man with a ferocious-looking face sat down at the cabin door. He was holding a gun and simply looked at Cheng Zheng.

The boat went farther and farther away. The land gradually got swallowed by the sea and Cheng Zheng was no longer able to see anything.

He slowly put down the telescope, took a look at the man whom Ye Lun called Houzi [also means Monkey] and closed his eyes quietly.

At this moment, the boat suddenly shook and someone outside gasped in shock.

NO!

After that, there was no more sound.

Houzi was startled. Whos that?

n.o.body answered him and the surroundings were strangely quiet.

He took a deep look at Cheng Zheng. Holding his gun up, he was about to open the door when the door was kicked open.

Dont move!

That voice was low and sounded hostile.

Houzi backed away slowly, raising his gun and pointed it at the man. Who are you when did you get on the boat?

Hurhur, who are you to mind your grandpas business? Quan Shaoteng was wet all over. Every footstep of his left a wet footprint on the boat. He stared at Houzi for a moment and tilted his head. Just be honest and dont bother to try any tricks.

Houzi didnt reply. The hand holding the gun was steady and motionless.

Quan Shaoteng narrowed his eyes and commanded his team members. Get his gun.

Quan Shaoteng had several members of the Operation team with him. They were as armed as he was, and also soaking wet. They had obviously got out of the seawater and had been lurking under the boat for a long time. It was no easy feat for them to hold back for so long

Where are my men? Houzis gun pointed right at Quan Shaoteng and asked carefully.

Oh, theyre dead. Quan Shaoteng answered casually.

Houzi glared at him and held his gun tightly. Impossible.

Quan Shaoteng hissed, If you dont put down your gun, youll have to go to h.e.l.l and join them.

Houzi didnt believe that at all. He raised his gun and kept walking backwards.

Cheng Zheng was also in doubt.

When he boarded the boat, he had specially noted that there were about 20 men on board.

They were not deaf or blind. They were all armed mercenaries hired by Ye Lun at a high price.

How did Quan Shaoteng sneak up at them and take them all out?

Cheng Zheng was looking on at the situation motionlessly while Houzi couldnt hold back his shock. I dont believe that you and your team have such ability

Youll believe it soon enough. Quan Shaoteng snorted coldly and looked into the cabin when he suddenly felt a little strange. Wheres Ye Lun?

He looked at Cheng Zheng.

Cheng Zheng asked in surprise, Hes not outside?

Hes not there! Quan Shaoteng immediately knew that things werent going well and pointed his gun at Houzi. Wheres Ye Lun?

Houzi sneered and took another step back. I dont know. I want to see Bai Muchuan.

Hah! Quan Shaoteng laughed. His pair of eyes was eviler than Ye Luns. What are you bleeping thinking about? Do you think Bai Muchuan is someone that you can meet whenever you want to? Erzi, what are you waiting for? Get his gun now!

You wont dare!

Oh really? Do you think that Ill be afraid when you carry a gun with you? Quan Shaoteng showed a disdainful smile. If you have guts, you can try to shoot. See if your bullet or my bullet is faster!

Houzi thought about his capability in getting on the boat and did not dare to take the gamble

He gripped his gun tightly and suddenly gave a disparaging smile. That dreadful expression was similar to a venomous snake that wanted to bite. If you dont want Xiang Wans life, you can try getting your men to take away my gun from me

Xiang Wan?

Quan Shaoteng was stunned for a moment when the walkie-talkie made a sound.

Laowu, Laowu! Do reply, over.

It was Bai Muchuan.

Quan Shaoteng took a glimpse at Monkey. I heard you! Over!

Bai Muchuan said, The Xiang Wan at the sh.o.r.e is fake!
