Chapter 337 The Spy is Captured
The night was as dark as ink, enveloping the sea, with only the warships' lanterns casting blurry, hazy light spots on the waves.
Xu Yiyi and A Yue lay on the small boat in the cabin, chatting idly.
"Do you think the child can sleep tonight without you in Wuyuan? He'll probably cry his voice until he's hoarse."
A-Yue glanced sideways and noticed that Xu Yiyi showed no worry on her face, but was thinking about much more things in her mind.
"Of course! Just let out a couple of cries and you'll be fine." Xu Yi stretched out her legs and leaned against the blankets. She had been standing all day, and her legs were sore and weak.
Ironically, I'm quite energetic right now and can't fall asleep.
The sound of Lao Lu snoring came from the next cabin; it sounded like thunder.
She finally understood why Afu wanted to move out after sleeping with him for just one night.
A-Yue clicked her tongue, turned over, and was about to speak.
Suddenly, they heard three short and one long horn sounds coming from the warships behind them—a warning signal.
"what happened?"
Xu Yi saw A Yue sit up abruptly, her expression becoming tense.
He quickly sat up.
"Something's up! Let's go check it out."
Ah Yue hurriedly put on her shoes, threw on her clothes, and ran out.
Xu Yiyi followed closely behind, and when she came out, she woke up Lao Lu.
……
"grown ups!"
The messenger rushed to the command platform: "The stern ship has spotted something underwater following the convoy, and it has been going on for half an hour!"
Lin Ke frowned, but before he could speak, Zhao Cheng beside him had already quietly placed his hand on the hilt of his knife, his eyes wary.
Immediately afterwards, the faint sound of oars breaking the water could be heard from the rear of the fleet, indicating that reconnaissance boats had been dispatched.
Under the cover of darkness, a small boat darted like an arrow towards the suspicious waters.
The sailor at the bow held a long-handled searchlight, its beam boldly piercing the dark seawater.
Suddenly, the surface of the water burst open with a splash.
"It's a sea turtle!" The sailor at the bow of the ship breathed a sigh of relief, his tone relaxed.
The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.
As soon as Xu Yiyi and A Yue stepped out of the cabin, the night wind, carrying moisture, rushed towards them.
My hair got all tangled up instantly from the wind.
Torches flickered on the deck, casting long shadows. Several sailors were dragging something with ropes, the metal hooks clanging as they pulled.
Lin Ke glanced at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Do you know her?"
Ah Yue leaned against the ship's railing with her arms crossed, and chuckled as she heard this: "She keeps a sea turtle in the sea, and it follows her every time she goes out to sea. Just now, when she was taking her younger siblings back to the island, she was probably spotted by the sea turtle, which is why it followed her."
Xu Yiyi walked quickly to the side of the boat and leaned down to look down.
The sailors on the reconnaissance boat originally intended to use a fishing net to scoop up the sea turtle, but the sea turtle was unwilling.
They swam all the way to the command ship.
"It really is you."
Xu Yi leaned out halfway to look, and the sea turtle stretched its neck and poked its head out when it heard the sound. Its black bean-sized eyes stared at her, and suddenly it bumped against the hull.
The surrounding sailors burst into laughter: "This turtle has become a spirit!"
Is it going to come up?
Zhao Cheng watched the sea turtle stretch its neck, its eyes filled with longing.
"Go back! I'm not going fishing this time, there's nothing to eat."
Xu Yi called out, but the sea turtle lingered by the boat, refusing to leave.
After a brief standoff between the person and the tortoise, Xu Yiyi said helplessly, "Could you help me pull it up? I don't think it's going to go back."
She suddenly stood up, and Lin Ke, understanding, raised his hand to indicate that she should do so.
The sailor tentatively approached, expecting the sea turtle to dodge as it had done before.
Unexpectedly, it remained still and was dragged onto the boat.
"There's water and food in the hold, so we can send the turtles there first."
As Lin Ke spoke, he choked on a gust of wind and then coughed violently.
After being pulled onto the command ship, the sea turtle became surprisingly quiet, lying in a corner of the deck, its black bean-like eyes gleaming in the night.
The sailors initially teased it, but seeing that it didn't react, they lost interest and dispersed.
Xu Yi stared at the sea turtle for a moment before she and A Yue carried it down to the lower deck.
……
Meanwhile, inside the Red Shark Gang's lair, a massacre was quietly brewing.
The woods were pitch black when suddenly a rustling sound came from inside. A figure in black was busy stuffing a secret letter into the leg ring of a carrier pigeon.
The darkness concealed his figure well, and just when he thought he could successfully send the secret message this time, the carrier pigeon flapped its wings to take flight.
With a "whoosh!",
A crossbow bolt pierced the air and precisely struck the carrier pigeon in the neck.
The carrier pigeon landed heavily on the ground, its feathers fluttering. The man in black turned around abruptly and saw dozens of Red Shark gang members standing not far away, led by the second-in-command, nicknamed "Bloody Hand" Jiao Tu.
He casually toyed with the blood-stained dagger in his hand, and sneered, "A dog kept by the government? It's quite capable! It actually managed to sneak up here."
The man in black's pupils contracted sharply, seemingly not expecting to be discovered so quickly. He retreated rapidly, and the hidden weapon in his sleeve shot out in an instant.
"Ding ding ding..."
Jiao Tu threw away the short knife, turned around and drew his long sword to parry, sparks flying everywhere.
Fourth-in-command Li Gan stood behind Jiao Tu, licking the blood that had splattered onto the blade, and said in a sinister tone, "Get your face off!"
Knowing that this was the case, seeing the person in front of him who looked exactly like his younger brother only fueled his anger.
Jiao Tu paced back and forth between the two with great interest; this was the first time he had ever seen Li Gan so angry.
"If you ask me, you spoil your brother too much. He doesn't practice martial arts properly, so when it really comes down to it, no one protects him. He's like a good-for-nothing, and he actually got dealt with by the government."
He shook his head helplessly: "It's shameful, truly shameful!"
Li Gan's eyes reddened, and his expression changed drastically: "If you can't speak, you don't have to."
He then stepped forward, his fingers squeezing the knife handle so hard it creaked, his eyes fixed on the people surrounded in the middle.
Seeing this face he knew so well only fueled his anger.
"Where is my brother? Hand him over."
Fifth Master Li Sha smiled coldly, raised his hand and peeled off the mask covering his face, revealing his true appearance.
This man was none other than Shen Yi, a secret agent under Lin Ke.
"What do you think? I'm not stupid, of course I'd kill him! Do you expect me to keep him around to tip you off?"
Shen Ling casually flicked the iron chain on her wrist, looking at Li Gan with a provocative gaze: "Fifth Master, huh? That good-for-nothing cried like a woman, it was giving me a real headache. I had no choice but to kill him quickly, otherwise I might have taken pity on him and kept him for a few more days so you could see him one last time."
Upon hearing this, Li Gan's face darkened, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and the veins on his neck bulged: "You dare! I'll kill you!"
Having said that, he gripped his nine-ringed broadsword and charged forward.
As Shen Yi dodged to the side, the iron chain swept out, instantly taking away two gang members who rushed at him.
His throat was shattered, and bright red blood gushed out.
Shen Ling stood in the blood mist, still sneering, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt. Ignoring Li Gan's ugly expression, she continued to provoke him: "By the way! Your good-for-nothing brother wet his pants before he died, and kept kneeling and begging me."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Even I, an outsider, feel sorry for him when I see him like that."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Gan led dozens of Red Shark Gang members, knives in hand, and charged forward.
"Jiao Tu! What are you standing there for?" Li Gan turned around and cursed.
Jiao Tu snorted coldly, gripped his long sword, and charged forward.
Unexpectedly, his taunting words angered everyone.
Shen Ling's eyes were filled with helplessness. If she survived this time, she really needed to make some serious changes.
At first, they were able to fight back and forth, but in the end, they were outnumbered and quickly forced to the brink of defeat.
His clothes were already torn, revealing deep and long wounds underneath.
Gone was his earlier composure; he was covered in blood and looked extremely disheveled.
He glanced back down; the waves were crashing against the cliff face, creating a tremendous roar, and it looked extremely dangerous, but he still jumped down without hesitation.
