In the end, Hu Kan was unable to climb into the driver's seat, but they were still rescued.
There was no other reason than that Ge Shaoting couldn't bear to look at the corpse and stripped off its burlap shirt as a surrender flag. Although it was stained with a lot of blood, anyone with eyes could see that when it was raised high, it meant surrender.
Seeing the situation ease, Ge Shaoting sighed, "My lifelong reputation has been constantly lowering its standards since leaving Hong Kong. Now I've even gone so far as to surrender."
I can't believe it myself.
Yang Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Indeed, as Ge Shaoting said, the person he knew was very different from what he had heard from others.
He thought, perhaps this is Ge Shaoting's true nature.
Seeing that the person looked genuinely depressed, I offered a few token words of comfort.
"It's alright. Nobody here knows you. Even if you embarrass yourself, your underlings won't know, and it won't damage your reputation."
Ge Shaoting chuckled twice and stopped worrying about it. Seeing that Hu Kan had already made arrangements with the people coming off the cargo ship, he quickly pulled Yang Zheng over with him.
Seeing the two approaching, Hu Kan knew their worries and didn't delay before telling them the news he had just learned.
"Not long after we left today, someone from Comrade Chu's side came looking for her. But don't worry, she's fine and even killed everyone in return. But now a new problem has arisen. The people she killed are different from those bandits we just killed who wanted to use my head to make money. She killed Black Shark's direct subordinates. Once the news spreads, a steady stream of people will come to kill her."
This was outrageous! Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting immediately panicked upon hearing this. "Quick, let's go back right now!"
"Of course, Comrade Chu is in this predicament entirely because of me. I will not shirk my responsibility. Please calm down. I have already arranged for a boat to take us back," Hu Kan said hurriedly, then couldn't help but emphasize the dangers that were about to be faced.
The two, anxious and impatient, had no time to listen to Hu Kan's words. They grabbed his collar and gritted their teeth, "Stop talking nonsense, we have to go back now, immediately!"
Getting back to help her is their most pressing matter right now; who has time to worry about dangerous things?
…………
Chu Xin was unaware of everything that had happened to them; at that moment, she and Su Zihang were dealing with the same person.
No, it should be Su Zihang dealing with him alone, because the other party was speaking a less common language that Chu Xin couldn't understand, so she just sat quietly and waited.
The man was respectfully addressed as Uncle Cang. Although his temples were gray and he had gained weight, he was dressed in a rather incongruous military uniform. Not only that, but he also wore sunglasses in the dimly lit ship's cabin to show off.
He looks like a nouveau riche with no class.
Chu Xin was bored, her gaze constantly wandering over the gemstone rings adorning his five fingers, completely oblivious to the intense stare he was giving her behind his sunglasses.
Chu Xin has a good memory. She saw Uncle Cang in the crowd when the murder happened and was certain that he had also been eyeing the gun.
In fact, she was only partially right. The reason Su Zihang looked bad was because Uncle Cang used Chu Xin as a threat to force him to hand over Hu Kan and offered to cover their escape in exchange for ownership of the gun.
When Su Zihang heard this, he thought that Uncle Cang was talking nonsense. Not to mention that he didn't know whether Chu Xin had a divine weapon, he couldn't even bring himself to hand over Hu Kan.
After the two came out, Su Zihang told Chu Xin what Uncle Cang had said: "Let's leave now since we have a boat. Although we don't know if your weapon is really that magical, the more people covet it, the less safe we will be."
