Kujiro was bitten on the calf by a shark and lost too much blood; he is now breathing more out than in.
Furthermore, since Xue Qing discovered his purpose in coming to China, he was no longer of any use to him.
How could such a rare and precious treasure as the Imperial Seal of the State be allowed to be found and possessed by the people of an island nation?
Xue Qing had murderous intent the moment he got his hands on the notebook that Jiu Jingxiong had hidden.
The boat was jostled several times by the shark, and the people on board staggered several steps.
"Oh my god, the boat is stuck in seaweed and can't move!"
"Comrade Xue, Comrade Xue!"
The ship was now in complete chaos. Xue Qing held the box containing the notebook, but no matter where he put it, it didn't seem right. So he simply opened the box again and put the oil paper package inside his pocket.
It's safest to keep it close to your body!
Xue Qing couldn't help but feel a little smug; this trip had been worthwhile.
However, the noisy noise outside the cabin prevented him from maintaining his good mood for more than two minutes.
"What's all the noise about? What's all the noise about!"
He stormed out, only to find Kujiro's assistant arguing with the helmsman.
Kujiro's assistant is a Chinese student who studied in Japan. Now that the policy has been relaxed, he has returned to China with Kujiro.
"Mr. Xue, we must go back immediately. If Mr. Jiujing's injury is delayed any longer, can you take responsibility for that?"
Xue Qingping hated being threatened more than anything else in his life. This little assistant surnamed Jiang had acted superior from the first day they met, and he had tolerated it for a long time.
"Can you sail this boat? You try, you try!"
Xue Qing pulled the helmsman aside and pushed Jiang Wenming to the side of the helm.
Jiang Wenming had no idea how to sail a boat, so he could only glare angrily at Xue Qing.
The person in charge was specially hired by Xue Qing at a high price, so naturally he was on Xue Qing's side.
Just then, the shark below the boat rammed into the hull again, and the men were thrown forward violently.
"Damn it!"
"Comrade Xue, this shark probably smelled blood..."
Xue Qing went outside and peered out. The great white shark was swimming around the ship, occasionally raising its head or slapping the hull hard with its tail.
This is unbelievable! I've never heard of a great white shark being so vengeful before!
"Mr. Xue, we must return immediately. Mr. Jiujing's condition is very bad!"
Jiang Wenming glanced at Jiu Jingxiong's condition and was frightened by his half-dead appearance.
If anything happens to Mr. Kui, wouldn't the Kui family in the island nation skin him alive?
Xue Qing was already annoyed, but Jiang Wenming's words only made him more irritable.
"How can I not be anxious? Don't I want to go back? In this situation, tell me how I'm supposed to get back?"
Jiang Wenming was surprised that Xue Qing would repeatedly shout and yell on his own.
His face immediately filled with anger.
"Mr. Xue, don't forget our previous agreement. You must guarantee the safety of Mr. Jiujing and me!"
Xue Qing stared at him for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and pulled him down to look.
"Look at this great white shark, tell me, how do we get back?"
The change happened in an instant.
Jiang Wenming was pulled like that and lost his grip on the railing. Just then, the shark rammed into the boat again, causing it to rock violently once more.
"Aaaaaaah!"
With a scream, Jiang Wenming fell to the ground.
The sound was so loud that Fu Wan and her father, who were not far away, could hear it.
They were nearby and witnessed a young man fall off the boat, still holding onto another.
They hung on the railing like skewers of candied hawthorns.
"Xue Qing!"
"Comrade Xue!"
Although Jiang Wenming did not expect to fall, he grabbed Xue Qing's collar as he was being pulled away by the force.
So, at this moment, Xue Qing was pulled by his clothes, and he was pulled more than halfway over the railing.
"Damn it, if you're looking to die, don't drag me down with you!"
Xue Qing tried to pry Jiang Wenming's hand away.
However, people often possess immense strength at the moment of impending death.
Helpless, Xue Qing could only have someone pull him away while he took off the new clothes he had just bought.
Since Jiang Wenming likes this outfit so much, let him take it with him to meet the King of Hell!
Xue Qing grinned maliciously at the despairing Jiang Wenming. A huge great white shark emerged from the water, bit Jiang Wenming, and then dived back into the sea.
All that remained was the seawater, which was said to have been instantly stained red.
Those watching couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines and their hair stand on end.
That was a real human life!
And just like that, it vanished before their very eyes.
Many people looked at Xue Qing with a hint of panic in their eyes. Who knew if they would be the ones to fall into the water and become shark food?
Xue Qing shrugged nonchalantly, "Go test if the boat can sail, then head back!"
How can you blame him for courting death? But it's better that he's dead, so it'll be easier for me to deal with Kujiro.
With that map, how could he not find the treasure!
Thinking about this, Xue Qing felt something was wrong. He subconsciously reached for the oil paper package in his pocket, but found nothing.
"Damn it!"
The oil paper was wrapped inside the clothes they had just worn, and Jiang Wenming grabbed it and took it into the water with them!
He walked quickly to the side of the boat and looked out at the sea. He could vaguely see the great white shark on the seabed, as if it were ready to come out and attack them at any moment.
"Turn on the propellers! Full power! Get me the harpoons and spearguns!"
It's unbelievable that a human could be bullied by an animal, especially since his map might be inside a shark's belly.
At this moment, Xue Qing just wanted to go crazy. Watching the treasure he had just gotten his hands on fly away, anyone would go crazy in that situation.
The others on the ship initially thought he was seeking revenge for Jiang Wenming, and their opinion of him changed immediately.
The roar of the propellers fully enraged the great white shark, which rammed the boat several times. Ironically, the boat managed to emerge from the crevice in the reef where it was stuck.
The crew cheered and then recklessly swung their spearguns and harpoons at the great white shark.
Soon, several wounds appeared on the great white shark's body. The deepest wound was the fishhook that Xue Qing had forcefully plunged into its abdomen when it leaped out of the water.
Great white sharks also feel pain. They remained submerged for a long time without making a move. Xue Qing and the others did not linger and sailed directly to the dock.
As Fu Wan and her father watched the large ship depart, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah Wan, let's go up the island and see if we can find anything. We can go back via that route later."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement. They had to pass through the area where the great white shark had just appeared on their way back. Their boat couldn't withstand a few rammings from the great white shark; it would surely capsize.
That deserted island is located at the border between the waters of Longhai City and the waters of a neighboring province. On the other side of the island is a group of tall reefs, where many seabirds fly around.
As soon as Fu Wan disembarked, she saw the flocks of seabirds. However, she found it strange, as seabirds are usually quite large.
Not far from her was a flock of birds with black feathers, edged with a blue sheen, and grayish-white bellies.
It doesn't look like a seabird; it looks more like a swallow.
