Chapter 124 Finding a Yellow Bead
"I was a soldier in 1965 and have received the Second Class Merit Citation multiple times."
But on one of his trips back to his hometown to visit relatives, he was framed.
Ha! When I woke up from my drunken stupor, I was found lying next to a married woman.
Do you know who arrested me? It's that guy from your Su family, nicknamed "Crown Prince."
Because he had been given leverage over by the old master Su, he was constantly controlled and manipulated by him.
"But he's dead, aren't you free now?"
Su Meng was very puzzled. This person was a stubborn guy, so why would he willingly submit to being controlled?
He gave a bitter laugh, "One wrong step and you'll regret it forever!"
I've always been my parents' pride. I don't want to be a burden to them, I don't want to bring shame to my family... but I can never go back."
The person who kept in contact with him was the scarred man.
Even after the death of the old master Su, the scarred man did not give up using him.
He—Liu Sheng—said with a bitter laugh, “My parents are over seventy years old, and Scarface knows that my parents are getting old, so he can’t control me.”
We agreed that once this order was completed, we would not interfere with each other.
Comrade Su Meng, do you believe it?
This is the first time we've been involved in something that harms national interests.
I just wanted to get your data to complete my task, and then I intercepted it again.
I know who I am, I haven't forgotten my roots, and I've never betrayed the organization.
Su Meng didn't understand his thought process, nor did she want to know.
She was simply curious—"Who exactly is Shen Wuyang?"
Wasn't Shen Wuyang detained by the military region?
Could there be another Shen Wuyang, who resembles you so much?
Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, then steadily brought the boat to shore. "I suspect that 'Chen Wuyang' is just a code name, not a specific person's name."
Do you know which country that shipyard on Penglai Island serves?
That's the code name for which country or organization it belongs to.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Su Meng did not lower her guard against him.
She stared at him, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and warned him coldly, "Don't try to fight back, but do everything you can to ensure my safety."
Otherwise, you won't survive six hours.
She stretched out her slender finger and pointed it at his stomach from a distance, paused, and then slowly slid it down to his lower abdomen.
The faint smile at the corners of her mouth rippled in her captivating dimples, sweet and charming.
But Liu Shengsheng couldn't bring himself to have any wicked thoughts.
All his attention followed the movement of her fingers, and in a daze, he felt that her fingers were a sharp knife tip cutting down into his subcutaneous tissue.
Suddenly, I felt a chill on my chest, and a draft in my abdomen.
A vivid image flashes before my eyes: a pig being slaughtered for the New Year, its throat ripped open from the throat down to the abdomen and tail, blood gushing forth, steam rising everywhere...
A chill suddenly shot up from the soles of my feet and up to the top of my head.
Liu Sheng, without his control, crossed his arms and mechanically walked behind Su Meng.
"Go ahead."
Su Meng stood to the side, looking at him calmly.
To her surprise, she found that in the short time it took to turn around, Liu Sheng seemed to have lost half of his vitality, looking as dejected as a sixty-year-old man.
Before disembarking, he was still talking at length about his grievances, but now he is as obedient as a domesticated military dog.
She frowned, and when Liu Sheng stepped forward, she waved and took the fishing boat away.
Even if we run out of gas, we can't abandon our only means of transportation.
What if the diesel fuel in the space can support her return?
While at sea, she saw this small archipelago in the distance and inexplicably chose it.
Now that we're on the island, that unseen pull is even stronger.
She was eager to act alone.
I want to go and find out.
I don't want to bring Liu Sheng along.
Judging from his reaction after arriving on the island, he was not familiar with the place either.
Moreover, he was poisoned and had no boat, so he had no way to escape.
Liu Sheng didn't even glance at her, and casually sat down on the rock next to him.
But as he glanced at the area where the boats were moored, he jumped up in shock, exclaiming, "Our boat is gone!"
However, his response was the howling sea wind and the deafening crashing of waves.
Su Meng disappeared right under his nose!
He was slightly startled and became secretly vigilant, fearing that Su Meng might suddenly attack.
On the other side, Su Meng darted ten meters away and then flashed into the space.
He ate a cucumber and some rice that had been placed there beforehand, then quietly headed towards the highest point on the island.
She recklessly plucked vegetation and caught any small animals she could find, then followed that inexplicable feeling and climbed over the mountaintop.
In the distance, several parts resembling ship masts could be seen protruding from the sand dunes on the beach.
Upon closer inspection, rusty iron parts were found crammed together with several pieces of rotten wood in the cracks of the reef.
At this moment, the feeling became even more pronounced.
A long-absent sigh suddenly echoed through the space.
My grandmother's words flashed through my mind—there was a yellow bead here, which must have fallen on some island.
Su Meng put away the iron parts.
I saw a yellow bead roll out of the mud and sand.
The beads are about the same size as the black and white beads obtained on Penglai Island.
It feels warm and smooth to the touch, with an inner radiance flowing through it, like a dazzling pearl.
Could this be the yellow bead that Grandma was talking about, the one that was lost on some unknown island?
Before she could get her fill of looking at it, the yellow beads disappeared.
The next second, a familiar tremor came from the space.
It turned into a thick fog.
Su Meng sighed helplessly, found a few more pieces of iron on the spot, went up to the top of the mountain, and lit a fire.
Hopefully, passing ships will see the thick smoke and receive her distress signal.
Upon smelling the smoke, Liu Sheng looked up and his lips twitched.
He didn't know where he was.
I only hope that after the young lady is freed, she will have the mercy to give him the antidote.
Even when faced with interrogation and punishment from the organization, he no longer complained about experiencing the burning sensation in his stomach.
That wasn't just burning my stomach, it was burning my soul.
His soul trembled!
They gave in!
He thought, this is retribution for betraying the organization!
He had originally planned to get back before dawn, just like the previous times, so that he could leave unnoticed.
But now that he has disappeared without a trace, even if he brings Su Meng back safely, he will still be punished.
He lay dejectedly on the stone, reflecting on his life for the first time seriously, and a thought of death arose in his mind.
But when he thought of his elderly parents, he hesitated again.
He hesitated and hesitated, and before he could make up his mind, he heard a rustling sound in the woods.
Su Meng's excited voice came from afar, "A boat is coming!"
Liu Sheng sprang to his feet and looked at the approaching ship.
My heart clenched, and my voice choked, “That’s a ship from Country R.”
"What?" Su Meng's eyes widened in disbelief, and she sighed repeatedly, "How could we be so unlucky?"
Instead of attracting a savior, they attracted enemies.
No! Shouldn't you be happy? Your companions have arrived.
Liu Sheng smiled helplessly, "Everything I said is true."
They probably hate me even more.
I have repeatedly thwarted their dealings with Old Master Su, and I'm already on their blacklist.
If I hadn't criticized the young master of the Su family, do you think he would have been demoted just because he has the surname Su?
Wrong! Only the people from your Su Mansion will be relocated.
He's a lackey of Country R, so poor he lives on handouts, who would want to raid his home?
Su Meng looked at him directly and said, "Your arms are quite long. Does your Commander Tang know that?"
Liu Sheng turned his head with a wry smile, "We need to find a place to hide."
Su Meng, it's not that I didn't warn you, but even if you threaten me with poison, I can't guarantee your safety.
"Take care of yourself!"
With that, he darted off to the other side of the island.
Su Meng looked at Liu Sheng with a puzzled expression, then silently followed him.
At the same time, she silently prayed that the space could be upgraded quickly, otherwise she would have no way out and... she would really be doomed!
