Jiang Yu had no intention of answering his question. The gang leader, Zhao Weilong, pressed a gun against Li Zhiyi's head and continued to threaten, "Put down that gun! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Just then, everyone heard the approaching sirens: "Brother, the police are here, what should we do?"
At this moment, Zhao Weilong no longer cared about his dead brothers; he only thought about his own survival. He immediately ordered, "Quickly hijack the ship opposite us. We need to escape the country as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go, big brother."
"I'll go with you."
Immediately, two henchmen volunteered to jump into the sea. Jiang Yu wasn't worried because Officer Li was more than capable of dealing with a few small fry.
"Put down your gun and I'll let you go, otherwise I'll really kill her," Zhao Weilong threatened again.
Seeing that he was really in a hurry to leave, Jiang Yu knew that this kind of person was a fugitive and that he couldn't escape anyway, so he slowly put down the gun in his hand.
Zhao Weilong was no benevolent person, nor did he have any credibility. He immediately pointed his gun at Jiang Yu and pulled the trigger without hesitation. Jiang Yu rolled on the ground to dodge and picked up the pistol he had put down.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three of Zhao Weilong's brothers had already fallen, while Jiang Yu was unharmed! This enraged Zhao Weilong even more, and he immediately ordered his men, "Attack him together and kill him!" He had a vague idea that the man in front of him was probably a policeman, otherwise he wouldn't have such good skills.
So if they didn't get rid of him, none of them could leave. In an instant, he made up his mind. When things got chaotic, he jumped into the sea and escaped, because he thought he was a very good swimmer.
Seeing their comrades die before their eyes, and with only one person on the other side, each of the men wanted to play the hero, so they all approached Jiang Yu and opened fire.
Jiang Yu kept dodging. Although he was a very accurate shot, there was nowhere to hide. Just then, someone aimed directly at Jiang Yu and fired again, and the bullets were already flying out.
Jiang Yu barely dodged, but the next second, another person fired at him. Three punches couldn't withstand four kicks; Jiang Yu used a leap to take down the person in front of him, but then someone else fired a shot from behind…
At this critical moment, Li Zhiyi also threw out his dagger, which hovered in mid-air and shot down the bullets aimed at Jiang Yu one by one. This scene stunned everyone.
Before anyone could react, the dagger automatically returned to Li Zhiyi's hand, a scene that left everyone speechless.
"Boss, she, she actually knows mystical arts!"
Zhao Weilong reacted immediately and released Li Zhiyi. He had been moving towards the side of the boat, and with this turn, he jumped into the sea.
Seeing that their leader had abandoned them, some of the remaining underlings tried to jump into the sea, but Jiang Yu shot them in the leg, leaving only five men.
They exchanged glances. At that moment, all five of them knew they were no match for the man in front of them, and their leader had abandoned them and fled. They immediately lowered their pistols and said, "Don't kill me, I surrender!"
"I surrender too!"
In an instant, all five men surrendered. Adding the injured man, there were six men in total. Jiang Yu tied them up with a rope from the boat, creating a tight knot. The siren was getting closer and closer. They were right in front of him. Jiang Yu said anxiously, "I'll go after him."
Jiang Yu made a move to jump into the sea to grab Zhao Weilong; a man like that must not be allowed to escape.
But Li Zhiyi stopped him, saying, "No need to go, I'll help you." Then Li Zhiyi threw out a talisman. Jiang Yu couldn't understand the pattern on the talisman. Having just witnessed Li Zhiyi force the ships to stop, he chose to trust Li Zhiyi this time.
Soon, a man swam towards them. When he realized that the boat in front of him was the same one he had just broken, he saw that Li Zhiyi and Jiang Yu were watching him from the boat.
Six more people were tied to the boat—his brothers-in-arms, the very men he'd risked his life for. Looks like this policeman really knows his stuff! Luckily, he jumped into the sea, then turned and dove underwater, continuing to swim away…
Jiang Yu glanced at Li Zhiyi and saw that she was not in a hurry at all, with a half-smile. He knew that Zhao Weilong would swim back.
The two waited quietly for a few minutes. Zhao Weilong reappeared at the side of the boat, his hands clinging to the edge. When he saw Jiang Yu, Zhao Weilong was so frightened that his mind went blank, and he instantly dived back into the water.
He refused to believe it, wondering how he could always swim in the wrong direction. After diving into the water, he felt like he didn't have much strength left, and he also felt very cold. The seawater at night was unusually cold, with a bone-chilling cold.
But he knew he couldn't be caught. If he were caught, his life would be over. He would never leave prison again and might even be sentenced to death. So he gritted his teeth and continued swimming forward.
He couldn't see anything in the water, so he simply surfaced and floated up. He saw a boat ahead, and this time he remembered very clearly that he had been swimming south and was definitely not going in the wrong direction.
He shouted from a distance, "Help! Help! Please help me, boatman!"
He was really exhausted and about to faint; he was too cold and too tired.
The brothers tied up on the boat were completely dumbfounded. Was their leader stupid? Why was he swimming back and forth repeatedly? Didn't he know to swim somewhere else, or even just to shore?
"Has my brother suffered some kind of brain injury?"
"Who knows? Let's not worry about him, we're all in trouble!" This guy is so unfair, he was really quick and decisive when he jumped into the sea!
Everyone's positive impression of his older brother has shattered. Anyway, they were accomplices, so they probably won't get the death penalty. At most, they'll get life imprisonment, which is better than death.
Zhao Weilong struggled to reach the side of the boat, only to find his brothers looking at him like he was an idiot. He was dumbfounded and had no strength left to escape.
He had no choice but to obediently climb onto the boat himself, and then lie there panting heavily.
At this time, the coast guard reinforcements arrived and took all the tied-up people away.
"There are many girls trapped below deck. You must go and rescue them."
The police quickly mobilized and brought all the girls up. In the end, they rescued 28 girls. When the girls saw the police, it was as if they had seen light and hope. They were all sobbing, and some were happy to have survived.
