Fake?
Quan Shaoteng was dumbfounded.
Cheng Zheng also sprang up from his seat instantly.
All eyes were on Houzi and they soon noticed that the smile on Houzi’s face widened. “Did all of you take Ye Lun as a fool? How can he not leave a Plan B for himself? If he’s a fool, he wouldn’t be what he is today.”
Cheng Zheng asked in astonishment, “What do you mean by that?”
Houzi sneered, “Ye Lun has already got off the boat.”
“I mean Xiang Wan.” Cheng Zheng’s voice sounded cold. “I clearly saw that it’s her.”
“Hahah!” Houzi’s eyebrows raised slightly. “The one you saw and talked to in the car was indeed her. But we had prepared a fake Xiang Wan in the trunk… You are such a fool. Ye Lun has never thought of letting Xiang Wan off. The real one has already been swapped when you came on board the boat. She was inside the car that you saw leaving earlier. Now… Mm, she should be with Ye Lun by now.”
What?!
Cheng Zheng’s face went pale.
“Ye Lun’s not leaving?”
“Even if he wanted to leave, he’ll definitely won’t leave together with you. You don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This is common sense, even I know about it. Surely you should know about this?”
“…” An uncomfortable feeling started to accumulate in Cheng Zheng’s chest and for a moment, the feeling wouldn’t go away.
Ye Lun was too cunning.
He used a fake Xiang Wan and made full use of the distance and terrain to cleverly deceive him.
After that, he sneaked off the boat and left…
“You’re playing with an eagle, how does it feel like to be pecked in the eye? It must have felt really good, right?” Houzi was feeling somewhat arrogant when Quan Shaoteng interrupted him with a sneer. “Why are you bleeping laughing? You’re just a forsaken pawn. Ye Lun basically gave you up so he could escape. Still laughing? I’ve seen fools but never one as foolish as you!”
Houzi sniggered. “He won’t give me up.”
Quan Shaoteng was surprising. “Who are you to him?”
Houzi: “I’m just a nobody to him. But Captain Cheng…”
The muzzle of his gun turned around slowly to point at Cheng Zheng’s head. “This guy is a treasure. Why would Ye Lun bear to give him up? As long as he still needs Cheng Zheng, he won’t dare to give me up…”
“…” Quan Shaoteng sneered again. “You sure know how to make up stories.”
Houzi chose to ignore Quan Shaoteng. “I want to talk to Bai Muchuan.”
Huff! D*rn!
Quan Shaoteng was fuming but as the matter involved Xiang Wan, he didn’t want to delay any further.
“Little Bai, Little Bai…” He spoke into the walkie-talkie.
Bai Muchuan’s voice was then heard from the walkie-talkie. “I’ve heard everything. Pass the walkie-talkie to him.”
“Umm, Little Bai,” added Quan Shaoteng, “There are a lot of doubts in this matter. Don’t listen to his nonsense!”
“What nonsense? It’s a fact that you guys didn’t find Ye Lun and Xiang Wan, right?” Houzi sounded proud and confident as he spoke loudly. However, he was very careful and did not immediately take the walkie-talkie from Quan Shaoteng. “Bai Muchuan, in half an hour’s time, if Ye Lun doesn’t receive any news from me, he’ll kill Xiang Wan…”
Bai Muchuan: “He won’t. Why would he want to kill off a protection charm like her?”
Houzi thought for a moment before he let out a chuckle. “Even if he doesn’t kill her off, he might rape her out of rage or do something that you wouldn’t wish to know… Anyway, Xiang Wan is in his hands, there’s nothing you can do to stop him from doing whatever he pleases.”
This time, Bai Muchuan did not answer immediately.
After a moment of silence, he asked, “So what do you want?”
“Exchange!”
“Exchange?”
“I’ll bring Cheng Zheng with me and Ye Lun will return Xiang Wan back to you.”
“Hah! Do you think Ye Lun’s a fool? Or are you taking me as a fool?” Bai Muchuan paused for a while. “There’s only one path ahead of you, and that is to cooperate with me!”
“Captain Bai, do you think I’ll believe your words? Fine, since you’re not willing to cooperate, then just kill me right now and then pray that your woman will not be raped and killed! I have nothing to lose anyway. The worst is just dying for me and I’ve lived enough. But your woman, she’s still young and pretty…”
“Fine!” Before Bai Muchuan could reply, Cheng Zheng walked over to Houzi. “I’ll go with you. Get in contact with Ye Lun now.”
“Cheng Zheng!” Bai Muchuan raised his voice. “Don’t be a fool!”
“I know what I’m doing…” He replied to the walkie-talkie and turned to Houzi. “Get in touch with Ye Lun now!”
“No problem!” Houzi replied and started whistling frivolously as he took out his phone.
Just as he was about to make the call, the phone rang. The caller was Ye Lun.
“Houzi, how’s the situation over there?”
Houzi looked at the people in the cabin as he replied, “Bad news…”
He gave a brief summary and Ye Lun could be heard laughing at the other end. “As expected! Now this is getting more interesting. Switch your phone to speaker…”
“Roger!”
With speaker mode activated, Ye Lun would be able to talk with Bai Muchuan.
The mood in the room was heavy as everyone kept quiet.
They could hear Ye Lun’s voice in a mocking tone. “Captain Bai, looks like our game has been upgraded to this level? Well, I like it… this is getting really interesting!”
Bai Muchuan said, “Ye Lun! It’s never too late for you to mend; give it up!”
“Give it up? Haha, there’s no way I can turn back now. I’m too far away from salvation…” Ye Lun continued speaking in a laughing tone, “Listen carefully, if you want Xiang Wan to stay alive, the boat has to go into the international waters… I’ll be waiting for you right there! Oh, and don’t forget, let Houzi bring Cheng Zheng along. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t feed Teacher Xiang to the sharks!”
“Ye Lun!”
“I’ll give you an hour.”
“That’s not enough time!”
“If you are late, then you can keep Cheng Zheng!”
Dduu, dduu, dduu…
He had disconnected the call.
Everybody exchanged glances with each other.
Quan Shaoteng took a deep breath before speaking. “Little Bai?”
“I’m on board the boat now.”
A moment later, Bai Muchuan came into the cabin and took a look at Houzi. “I’ll go instead of Cheng Zheng!”
“No way!” Cheng Zheng stopped him immediately. “Bai Muchuan, don’t be stubborn! I’m more useful to him.”
Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrow. “Are you sure you can do it?”
Cheng Zheng looked into his eyes deeply. “Yes, I can.”
They stared at each other. For a long time, Bai Muchuan did not say a word.
Thirty seconds probably passed before Bai Muchuan finally spoke. He glanced over at Houzi. “Head to the international waters now.”
“No problem.” Houzi laughed as he walked out of the cabin. “Put your gun down!” Bai Muchuan ordered.
Houzi was taken aback for a moment.
He stared at Bai Muchuan, put his gun down slowly and walked out of the cabin with his arms in the air.
“D*mmit!”
Quan Shaoteng let out a cuss.
He thought he could show his usefulness by storming right into the enemy’s den with his men and thought that he could wipe out the enemy completely. Never did he expect that Ye Lun would have another card up his sleeve… In the end, the display of his usefulness didn’t last more than three seconds and that made him very frustrated as well as furious.
Quan Shaoteng turned around and looked at Bai Muchuan. “Will this… work?”
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes. “Mm.”
“…”
Without any more talking, the few of them walked out of the cabin.
At that moment, Cheng Zheng saw Ye Lun’s men sitting on the deck, held captive by Quan Shaoteng’s Operation Team. They were huddled together, hands behind their heads, looking terrified and distressed.
Quan Shaoteng said, “Take them off the boat!”
“Roger!”
Quan Shaoteng and his Operation Team took over the boat.
The Red Thorn commandos were definitely formidable, even knowing how to pilot a boat.
This time, the boat moved much faster than earlier. A while later, they could see the signal light that was sent from Ye Lun.
That was a boat about two times bigger than the one they were on. It was sitting quietly in the international waters.
Bai Muchuan took a deep breath. “Attention Ye Lun, we have to see Xiang Wan first before proceeding with the exchange!”
