Chapter 781 Just One Second Away



A foul-smelling yellow liquid slowly seeped out from beneath the man without his awareness. Ye Yun couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and kick Angus's body to make sure he was completely unconscious.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Iron tools are still the most effective.

The two foreigners were still drinking merrily.

The sound of rushing water drowned out the sound of Angus falling, and since it was in their blind spot, they hadn't noticed anything amiss.

It wasn't until Ye Yun appeared in their line of sight carrying the iron rod that the young foreigner looked up casually and suddenly saw her. His face froze, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The bearded foreigner turned around immediately afterward.

"No shit!"

"Fuck!"

As two exclamations rang out, the two foreigners instantly stood up, drew their long knives, and prepared to attack Ye Yun.

Suddenly something was thrown at them.

With a thud, a glittering gold necklace was tossed at their feet.

The two foreigners stopped in their tracks instantly.

"I know you're angry, but don't be angry yet. Let's talk after you've seen that thing," Ye Yun said calmly, pointing to the ground.

The bearded foreigner frowned, looking wary.

"What do you mean?"

However, his focus was quite novel. He looked Ye Yun up and down, squinted, and said, "You can actually speak our country's language?"

"Your focus shouldn't be on this."

Ye Yun remained calm and pointed again to the gold necklace she had thrown onto the deck.

The slightly younger foreigner looked suspicious, picked up the necklace and squeezed it hard, then exclaimed with delight, "Boss, it's real, gold!"

The bearded man's guarded expression became even more pronounced.

The plan was to smuggle Angus back to their country, but the prisoners Angus kidnapped knocked him unconscious and threw gold at them. What should they do now?

As if hearing the commotion on the deck, the people in the cabin all rushed out.

There were nearly ten people.

Seeing their bearded leader confronting Ye Yun, they immediately surrounded Ye Yun, looking fierce and menacing. This made Qin Zheng and the others, who witnessed this scene, dare not make any further moves.

But they could tell that these foreigners were not with Angus.

Gu Jin shouted to them.

"Those on the ship! Don't hurt them! We can talk about anything you want! Just don't hurt them!"

Unfortunately, his voice was completely drowned out.

The sound of the wind and waves was too loud, and the buzzing of the oars drowned out all the other sounds coming from the river.

Time was of the essence, and Ye Yun knew she couldn't waste any more words arguing with these foreigners. Angus was so stubborn; she didn't know when he might suddenly come to his senses.

"How about we make a deal?"

She stated her position directly.

"You want money, don't you? Angus probably didn't tell you that the lady locked in the cage is the daughter of the richest man in Huaicheng, and her family is rolling in money. If you release us, we can offer ten times more than Angus!"

ten times?

It has to be said that the price is very tempting, but the bearded foreigner suddenly sneered and said disdainfully, "What a joke, it's only ten times, it won't ruin our reputation."

What is your reputation?

Tang Shu then sat up as well.

Although she was locked in a cage, she sat on the ground with her back straight and her gaze toward the foreigners was extremely calm.

“You only accepted the job of smuggling Angus, and you only said you would bring him. He brought two more people on his own. You didn’t promise that you had to smuggle us over as well, did you?”

The bearded man paused for a moment.

He glanced at his assistant, who scratched the back of his head and said, "Boss, what this woman said seems to make some sense."

Tang Shu continued, "Now that Angus has fainted, you just need to pretend you don't see him and let our people come and pick us up. Wouldn't it be better to get ten times the price for nothing?"

Ye Yun pointed to the gold necklace in the young foreigner's hand and added, "You should have seen that gold necklace too. It's just my personal jewelry. It can prove our financial strength. I'm not lying to you about giving you ten times the price!"

Tang Shu: "I am the daughter of the richest man in Huaicheng. This is the only path you can take!"

“If you can run a human smuggling business, you must have a protector. If you release us, my family won’t pursue the matter, and your human smuggling business can continue. Otherwise, you’ve offended the richest man in Huaicheng and alerted the higher-ups. Once your protector falls, your business will be shut down!”

Angus, a mere customer.

On one side is the entire business chain.

Even a fool knows which option to choose.

The foreigners looked at each other, and silently they all understood.

"Okay, I believe you!"

The bearded foreigner waved his hand.

The foreigners surrounding Ye Yun immediately dispersed, and Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly ran to the wooden cage to try and rescue Tang Shu.

The wooden cage was nailed shut securely, and the door was locked with an iron chain.

"The key should be with Angus."

Tang Shu whispered to her.

Ye Yun ran towards Angus without hesitation.

As soon as she got close, she smelled a foul, fishy odor of urine. Angus's pants were still hanging messily on his buttocks, with the pockets tucked under his body.

Ye Yun suppressed her disgust and went to find the key.

The bearded foreigner walked over at that moment.

With a powerful kick, Angus's body was knocked over, revealing the keychain hanging from Angus's waist. The bearded man tore off the key with a large hand and handed it to Ye Yun expressionlessly.
