NovelEnglishChapter 2068: Escape
Bang!
Chi Lu hit the car door with his fist. With his long legs stretched out, he hugged the rifle and closed his eyes. He had a look of anger on his face and did not want the conversation to continue.
He was furious, but he had no choice.
He knew that his comrades would be in danger, but he could only watch.
“I’m just thinking about the worst-case scenario. It doesn’t mean that something will really happen. Haven’t similar things happened before? In the end, everyone still returned safely.” The equally helpless Pigeon enlightened his comrades. “Look on the bright side and think about the skills of the three of them. Think about the good possibilities and don’t give yourself too much pressure.”
They didn’t see Ye Jian and the other two until they boarded the plane. The car arranged by the embassy was still parked at the brightly lit port. No one drove it away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe port was not quiet at four o’clock in the morning. There was a constant stream of people driving motorcycles from one side of the pier to the other. There were also people climbing onto freighters full of containers and walking back and forth.
There were still people on top of the lighthouse with binoculars looking out to sea from time to time as if looking for something.
The men all held knives. Some of them had bulges in their chests that showed the outline of guns. They kept coming and going around the port.
There was a gentle breeze on the surface of the sea. The incoming breeze smelled of salt and oil. The puttering sounds of the speedboat drifted faintly from the dark sea, gradually drawing closer until they could clearly see the people from where they stood in the port.
It didn’t come to the port. After making a 180-degree turn, it sailed back out to sea.
There was not just one speedboat on the sea but ten. They circled the area, advancing and converging. From time to time, the people on the boats would shout at the top of their lungs.
They were all looking for a certain speedboat and the people on it.
“Expand, expand! Expand farther!”
“It’s too dark to see!”
“What the hell?! Where the hell have they gone?!”
As the speedboats dispersed, some cursing could be heard.
In less than five minutes, the people on one of the speedboats contacted their companions loudly. Immediately, all the speedboats rushed over in a direction.
There were three figures who dived under a ship. Not long after, someone emerged out of the water and grabbed a rope to release the lifeboat.
Soon, the figure took advantage of the fact that the strong light of the ship was not sweeping over and grabbed the rope tightly with both hands. She was as agile as a monkey climbing a tree. Her feet pushed against the hull as she climbed to the deck in no time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSomeone walked over with a light on the deck. Ye Jian’s eyes darkened. She suddenly lowered her body and hid under the lifeboat.
As she was drenched, she couldn’t roll straight across the deck. The water left behind would tell these guys with knives that someone had walked through here.
When the footsteps passed, Ye Jian immediately climbed onto the deck. Her feet hooked onto the railing of the deck, and her hands were agile as she quickly untied the rope and placed it in the sea.
Earlier, she had felt that the rope was not released into the sea. Now, she had to release the rope so that her comrades could successfully board the ship.
In order to prevent the water droplets from dripping onto the deck and attracting attention, Ye Jian quickly took off her clothes in the night and wrung out the water. She couldn’t take off her pants and wring them dry. She could only grab a corner and wring it.
Water was running down the hull. Not a drop fell on the deck.
Soon, White Crane and Azalea came up and did the same with their clothes.
When a few men with knives walked over, the three of them were already long gone.
