Chapter 501 Losing the Battlefield, But Not the Spirit



"Xue Sang, no matter what, I've already invited the people. Now go and arrange the sea trip for tonight!"

After spending more than half a month in China, Koichi Kujii's Chinese has improved significantly.

Xue Qing frowned as he looked at Kujiro Kouichi's expression, and he suddenly didn't know where to vent his frustration.

"I'll go check on them!"

After saying that, he left without looking back. Fu Wan and Fu Ming hurriedly found a stool to sit down. Sure enough, less than half a minute later, Xue Qing pushed open the door on their side.

"Comrade Xiao Fu, you rejected me this morning, but aren't you still with me now?"

"Coming here to seek attention?" Fu Wan sneered. "Xue Qing, that's enough. Don't you know why I'm here?"

It's as if she came here voluntarily because she had nothing better to do.

Xue Qing wasn't angry after hearing this; instead, he grinned. He already had a somewhat gloomy appearance, and this smile made him look even uglier than when others were crying.

"In any case, now that you're here, please help us find what's in the sea."

In return, Kujiro and I will not treat you unfairly.

"Ha, you damned traitor!"

Fu Ming sneered, "As a Chinese, I am truly ashamed to have a compatriot like you!"

Xue Qing was somewhat lenient with Fu Wan, but he didn't have such a good temper with Fu Ming.

He immediately wanted to roll up his sleeves and teach Fu Ming a lesson.

Seeing that things were not going well, Fu Wan quickly stepped in front of Fu Ming to block him.

"Xue Qing, if you still want me to go to sea with you, you'd better not make a move lightly."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qing had no choice but to withdraw his hand, but with nowhere to vent his anger, he simply kicked the stool next to him far away.

This stool was a sturdy wooden stool, and Xue Qing was quite strong. The stool made a series of cracking sounds, which made Fu Ming involuntarily back down.

Even if you lose, you can't lose face. Although Xue Qing is taller and stronger than him, Fu Ming was taught by Boss Fu since he was a child that anyone who gets beaten up and complains of pain is not a real man!

Seeing the hostility on Fu Wan and Fu Ming's faces, Xue Qing felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

“You are not me, so you have no idea about my situation.”

Do you think I want to work for the island nation? Do you think I don't want to stay in Beijing and build my own career?

I was forced into this!

Xue Qing's family used to be one of the most prominent families in the capital, but in such a family, there were too many wolves and not enough meat, so naturally Xue Qing wouldn't get much.

So he was forgotten by his family at a very young age. He went out to sea with Zhao Gang and the others to salvage things, but that was purely to get a good job.

However, he had a bad temper. Ever since Bai Qianzhou collected evidence and sent it to Xue Qing's uncle's rival, sending Xue Qing's uncle to prison, Xue Qing was completely forgotten by the Xue family.

Under these circumstances, Xue Qing was even more eager to achieve something significant. However, for him, cooperating with Jiujing was undoubtedly the fastest way to make money.

Listening to Xue Qing's complaints, Fu Wan remained completely unmoved. If she had any emotion, it would be disdain.

She truly looked down on people like Xue Qing.

People should strive to climb higher in adversity, but Xue Qing only ever thinks about dragging others down with him and causing them to sink into despair.

Fu Qiang was like that before, and I am like that now.

If he hadn't boasted to Jiu Jing, Fu Wan wouldn't have believed that Jiu Jing knew she was a good swimmer.

Moreover, there are many ways to get ahead, but Xue Qing chose the most disgusting one.

Seeing that Fu Wan and Fu Ming ignored him, Xue Qing felt like he had punched cotton, and he had made a fool of himself.

"Fine, you can just stay here and don't even think about running away. There are no houses around here, and you won't be able to get out on foot."

These words immediately made Fu Ming's face turn ugly. He had really been planning to wait until Xue Qing left and see if he could run away with Fu Wan.

Seeing the change in Fu Ming's expression, Xue Qing felt much better, turned around, closed the door, and left.

"Ah Wan, are we just going to wait here? Are we really going to go out to sea with them tonight?"

Seeing Xue Qing leave, Fu Ming quickly walked up to Fu Wan and asked in a low voice.

Fu Wan gestured to him to calm down, "Brother, don't worry. I had Dad contact Leader Sun before I came. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be waiting for us at sea tonight."

When I called Sun Shao-ping this morning, he said he was waiting for Xue Qing and the others to go out to sea. Since they don't have communication equipment right now, Fu Wan bets that Sun Shao-ping might be lying in wait at sea with his men.

Fu Ming listened with skepticism, "Are Leader Sun and the others coming tonight too?"

Fu Wan told him the truth, "I'm not sure either, but if we really go out to sea, it will actually make it easier for us to escape."

"If I go into business and something goes wrong, you'll have to figure out what to do."

Seeing Fu Wan's solemn expression, Fu Ming nodded subconsciously.

"Don't worry, I'm a much better swimmer now. If anything happens, I'll just jump into the sea."

It's probably safer at sea than with the treacherous people on the ship.

After discussing it, Fu Wan simply leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Around 1 p.m., Xue Qing and his men pushed open the door again.

"I bought some lunch, you guys can have something simple to eat."

"Don't say I've treated you unfairly. We'll set sail at five o'clock this afternoon after we finish eating."

Fu Wan sat motionless in her chair. Xue Qing must have packed the food from the state-run restaurant. The overpowering aroma made their stomachs immediately protest.

Fu Ming was already starving. If he had known what was going to happen today, he would have eaten more breakfast.

But he dared not eat Xue Qing's food. Who knew if that madman would spit?

Seeing that Fu Wan and Fu Ming didn't make a move, Xue Qing wasn't stupid and could naturally guess what they were thinking.

He immediately snorted coldly, "Don't worry, there's no drug in it."

You'd better eat something, otherwise you won't have the energy to go into the sea, and that will hinder our search for food.

After saying that, he ignored Fu Wan and simply went out.

As soon as he left, Fu Ming stood up.

"Ah Wan, is this edible?"

Fu Wan wasn't sure either. She touched her pocket, where there was still a peach shortbread she had used to coax the two children that morning.

She would have forgotten about it if Xue Qing hadn't brought the food in.

"How about we just have some peach shortbread? Xue Qing is a very strange person, and I don't dare to bet on what he might put in it."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ming had no choice but to steel himself and turn his gaze away from the two bowls of food.

The two of them divided the peach shortbread, then shoveled some food into their bowls, pretending they had eaten a little.

However, after lunch, Fu Wan held her watch and waited for five o'clock when it got dark to go out to sea. But before four o'clock, Xue Qing and Jiu Jing pushed open the door.

"Get ready and come out quickly, we're getting ready to set sail!"
