Tang Yue gestured with her chin at him, "Didn't you see those people searching the shore? Duanqi isn't allowing anyone to leave now. If you go in, you won't be able to get out within the allotted time."

Moreover, they might never be able to return to China.

Gu Yanxi saw the Japanese who came to patrol. Gu Yanxi was already sitting on the boat, but he was still nervous. He himself was not afraid, but he was afraid that the little girl was in danger.

However, he felt that those people's eyesight seemed to be poor; it was as if they hadn't seen them at all on the sea. Gu Yanxi looked around; their small boat was the only one on the sea, and given the distance, it was impossible for them not to see them.

So what exactly happened?

"Why can't you say it?"

Driven by her profession, Gu Yanxi instinctively sought out information, and Tang Yue, of course, was not stingy; she would always help her compatriots.

"I heard that a ship approached the Nakajima-Kuchi dock yesterday, and many Japanese government officials and members of prominent families went to pick them up. As a result, everyone on board died. People who were close to the ship were nauseated by the stench emanating from it."

Those who smelled the odor subsequently developed symptoms, which appeared very quickly. Later, Dumchi issued a ban, forbidding anyone from approaching the port.

"It's probably to ensure the safety of the people here that Dumchi needs to be under martial law recently."

Is the news reliable?

"Yes, absolutely!"

Gu Yanxi sensed that this matter was not simple. He felt that he was about to find a breakthrough, so he quickly looked for oars in the boat.

What are you looking for?

"Where are the oars?" Gu Yanxi looked up in shock. "You don't have any oars in your boat? Do you even know how dangerous this is?"

Gu Yanxi's voice rose involuntarily. How could this child act so recklessly? It's utterly absurd.

"You want to go back?"

Tang Yue frowned, thinking that if this person had something very important to do, she couldn't stop them from doing their mission.

Seeing how calm the little girl was, Gu Yanxi felt as if he were younger than her. "Yes, I have something important to investigate. So, can you come back with me?"

I promise I'll find a way to send you away as soon as I'm done with things here.

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. "I don't need you to take me. I'm not going back to China for now. If you have something to do, you can swim back. We're not far from the shore right now."

Gu Yanxi...

He didn't jump into the sea. "Aren't you going back to China? How did you get here?" Gu Yanxi wondered if he was a little oxygen-deprived because he had been swimming in the sea for too long.
