Chapter 55
On the spacious highway, a silver Bentley sped through the night, weaving through the traffic flow.
Sheng Jinyu had not arrived yet, but the people he arranged had already arrived at the port in advance. The address Lin Jing sent was cunning, only giving the port location, and he would not tell him which cruise ship it was until he met him in person.
A group of bodyguards spread out to check the cruise ships docked near the port. There were not many cruise ships about to set sail at this time, so in order not to cause panic, they did not dare to make any big moves.
Soon, news came from the technician who had previously hacked the virus software for Sheng Jin and Reverse.
He located Su He's phone and pinpointed the location to a room on a cruise ship.
The bodyguard on the other side who received the signal quickly started looking for someone.
The silver Bentley was only five minutes away from the port, but Sheng Jinyu received a message from Su He's cell phone.
There is no beginning or end, only a few words——
Don't come over here, you're in danger.
He suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, as if being gripped by a huge force. His hand holding the phone slowly tightened, and he couldn't relax at all. Su He must have known something, so he took the risk of sending a message to remind him.
Now Sheng Jinyu was extremely certain that the other party was coming for him, and Su He was just affected by him and became his scapegoat.
At this moment, the car body shook violently. The driver braked hard and steered the front of the car away, barely avoiding the vehicle that blocked the way in front.
The sharp sound of brakes...
Sheng Jinyu got out of the car with a cold expression. Several people got out of the black car that had stopped the other way. The man in black at the head stopped in front of Sheng Jinyu and said respectfully, "Young Master, Mr. Sheng asks you to return."
"What if I don't go back?" Sheng Jin said coldly.
"Then we have no choice but to offend you." The man in black said bluntly.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people behind him quickly came up, with a clear goal of restricting Sheng Jinyu's movements. Before they could even get ready, Sheng Jinyu seized the flaw of one of them, punched him to remove the opponent's strength, and kicked the remaining person to knock him down.
"equation!"
Sheng Jin shouted coldly, and Special Assistant Fang immediately surrounded them with bodyguards and dragged down all the men in black.
Without even looking, he got into the cab, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
In the distance, tiny lights were swaying on the sea level, getting closer and closer in sight. It took Sheng Jinyu only two minutes to reach the destination, which was a five-minute journey.
At this moment, a cell phone rang. Sheng Jin picked up the phone. It was a search officer on the cruise ship. Just as the person on the other end said a few words, a huge ball of fire suddenly exploded from the tail of a cruise ship not far away!
Then there was a loud bang!
Like a huge thunder exploding in the sky, the violent explosion startled everyone on the shore, and the orange-red flames danced in Sheng Jinyu's dark pupils.
There was silence all around for a moment, and then there were sudden cries of surprise, accompanied by sporadic explosions and alarms.
"That boat's on fire!"
"It exploded! It exploded! Call the police!"
The entire port was in chaos in an instant, and there was no sound on the phone. A ghostly fear filled Sheng Jinyu's heart.
He knew that Su He was on top.
Assistant Fang, who had arrived late, ran over with his bodyguards, only to see Sheng Jinyu running towards the burning cruise ship. Fang Cheng's heart sank, and he quickly led his men to chase after him, shouting, "Master, you can't go! We'll go and rescue him, and we'll definitely get Assistant Su out!"
Meanwhile, on the deck of the cruise ship, Lin Jing yelled furiously, "Fuck! What the hell are you looking at me with! Go down and find me! If we can't find them, we'll all be in trouble!"
Just now, Su He actually pushed the guard away and escaped.
Originally, Lin Jing saw Su He's thin arms and legs and had a young master's figure. He knew that he was a weakling with no resistance at all, so he didn't care about him at all, and he didn't expect under what circumstances Su He would escape.
When he led his men to chase after him, they chased him all the way to the side deck of the ship. They were surrounded on both sides and Su He had no way to escape.
However, a sudden huge explosion at the stern knocked everyone to the ground. When he looked up again, Su He jumped into the dark and cold sea.
This was a serious matter. Su He was their only bargaining chip. If they let him escape now, how could they force Sheng Jin and Xiaoguai to submit? A group of people jumped down like dumplings, searching for the thin figure.
The autumn sea water was already freezing, and Su He watched the fire on the water surface getting farther and farther away from him.
He had choked on the water and could only struggle a few times. His whole body felt as cold as if he were being pricked by needles, and the surroundings were dim and dark.
Much colder than last time, he thought.
At least that time I could still see the shore and the sun.
At least, that time, I could still feel Sheng Jin's warm body temperature and burning hands...
It's so cold that I can't even think...
He felt scared in his daze. If he didn't run, he would also be killed by the inexplicable explosion. Wouldn't that death be more painful than the current one? At least now, Sheng Jinyu would no longer be controlled by Lin Jing, and no one would die because of him.
When people are near death, they always look back on the past. From the moment they came into this world, their lives have been bound to Sheng Jin, the person who had the greatest influence on them, the person who changed the course of their lives...
They are all Sheng Jinyu.
Now, the person he misses the most is Sheng Jinyu.
Su He's consciousness gradually faded, and the cold sea water almost paralyzed his mind. In a daze, he felt a force pulling him upwards. He could not tell whether the other party was a human or a ghost, an enemy or a friend.
He lost consciousness the next second.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a dazzling white and the familiar smell of disinfectant filled the air.
This is a hospital, but Su He still didn't dare to let go. He turned his head and looked around. The room was not big and the facilities looked old. It didn't look like the medical facilities in the city center, but more like a township hospital in a small county.
There was a sound of intense game fighting coming from not far away.
Su He looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a young man dressed casually and wearing a headband, sitting with his feet up and playing games.
It was obvious that he was fighting very intensely in the game. The young man's expression was angry and distorted. He seemed to want to curse several times, but he held it back because there was a wounded person lying next to him.
When the young man saw that he woke up, he pressed the bedside bell. Two nurses came in soon and examined Su He. He had no external injuries, but water in his lungs and prolonged hypothermia. He needed to be hospitalized for two days of observation.
Su He didn't have a mobile phone and could only watch the TV in the ward. The local news had been reporting on the maritime accident. The cruise ship explosion caused a small fire and some tourists were injured, but fortunately no one was killed.
He wasn't sure if this accident had anything to do with Lin Jing and the others, or with himself, or who had saved him? What was their purpose?
Su He had to be alert to all this, after all, he had just experienced a kidnapping.
While no one was around, Su He ran to the nurses' station to borrow a landline to call Sheng Jinyu.
Although he took the risk of informing the other party of the danger on the boat, he intuitively felt that Sheng Jinyu must have come. He wondered if he had been affected by the explosion. If he couldn't find him, would they think he was dead?
Thinking of this, Su He was dialing a number when his phone was suddenly snatched away.
The young man with the hairband snatched the receiver and put it back, looking at him and pretending to threaten him: "If you don't want to die, don't let anyone know you're still alive."
Su He could see that the boy was not very old and his character was not that unpredictable. His threats might be false, but his words were probably true.
Someone wants his life.
Su He bit his lower lip and asked cautiously, "Whose people are you?"
The young man raised an eyebrow, tilted the stick of his lollipop in his mouth, and chuckled pretentiously, saying, "I'm here to save your life."
Su He was speechless for a while, until he probably couldn't ask anything more, so he stopped asking and turned back to the ward.
For the next two days, no one else came, except the young man who occasionally came to bring him food. He didn't talk much to him. He would just watch him eat after the food was delivered and leave after he finished eating.
Su He tried several times to borrow various people's cell phones to contact him, and even hid in the toilet to borrow the cleaning lady's cell phone, but he was discovered without exception.
The young man frowned and sighed, then glared at him angrily: "You look like a good kid, but why are you so dishonest! I told you not to expose yourself if you want to survive, and don't contact anyone, including that guy named Sheng!"
Su He's heart sank. They indeed knew Sheng Jinyu, and this matter was indeed not over yet.
"I understand." Su He said lightly.
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the ward obediently, climbed onto the bed and began to watch TV quietly. The young man peeked at the door of the ward for a while, as if he didn't believe that he would just stop.
The next morning, Su He was discharged from the hospital.
The young man stared at him like a criminal, led him downstairs, and urged him into a black car. The bumpy ride made Su He dizzy and sleepy.
This seems to be a peninsula near Gwangju. It looks like a seaside town that is quite suitable for vacation. There are many winding half-mountain roads with rows of coconut trees on the sides. Looking into the distance, you can see the beach and the ocean.
The car turned into a commercial area and the destination turned out to be a pub.
The young man got out of the car and said as he walked, "Formally introduce myself. My name is Cui Huan, and I'm the bartender here. The person who saved you is my boss. You can stay in the house in the backyard of the tavern for the time being. Our boss said that you will not be short of food and clothing."
"I have only one request," Cui Huan turned around and pointed at Su He, saying emphatically, "You are not allowed to run away, and you are not allowed to contact the outside world without permission."
"If you can't do it, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks." Cui Huan glared at him fiercely.
Su He did not refute anymore. He could see that this boy's life was too boring, and when he was suddenly given a job, he became addicted to acting.
He followed the people into the yard. It was the off-season for tourism and it was mid-week, so there were not many people in the pub. There was nothing special about it from the outside, but the decoration inside the store was very exotic.
"Can you tell me who your boss is?" Su He asked.
Cui Huan waved his hand: "When she comes, ask her yourself."
"Oh, and I'm not letting you stay here for free. On weekends when it's busy, you have to come to the store and help out. Got it?"
Su He's doubts grew deeper and deeper, and he became more and more curious about who saved him.
Should I protect him or what should I do?
So many days have passed, his disappearance should be known to everyone. Is Sheng Jinyu looking for him?
Maybe not. He is just a handy assistant. There are many people who are more professional than him. He is not that irreplaceable.
What's more, Sheng Jin and her husband are about to get married, so they probably don't have the energy to care about his affairs...
