Chapter 1004 The Ship Arriving to Pick You Up
Nan Yan clearly felt that something was wrong. It was not just the wind and waves, something must have happened to the people inside as well.
She said, "It's not hurt. Don't hide it from me. What happened?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people rushed out of the cabin, looking around as if they were looking for something.
They held swords in their hands and held torches high, but the torches were quickly extinguished in the wind and waves. However, they still saw Li Bushan holding Nan Yan at a glance.
He immediately pointed at them and shouted, "Here they are!"
"There's another person!"
"It seems that they have been preparing to cause trouble."
"Surround them!"
After these people finished talking in a mess, they immediately surrounded them.
Seeing this, Li Bushang hurriedly put Nan Yan down, held her in his arms with one hand, and pointed the other hand forward at these people.
There was murderous intent in his eyes.
Nan Yan still didn't understand what was going on. She just saw that these people were full of murderous intent, and Li Bu Shang was obviously well prepared. She could only hide behind him and asked in a low voice: "What on earth happened?!"
The guards pointed at Nan Yan and said, "Where's the person who came with you? Jian Ruocheng!"
Nan Yan asked, "What happened to him?"
"He, humph!" One of the guards sneered and said angrily, "He didn't come aboard to discuss business at all. He stole something important from our master!"
"What?!"
When Nan Yan heard this, she subconsciously said, "Impossible!"
Jian Ruocheng is a humble gentleman, how could he steal other people's things?
"You still say it's impossible? We saw it with our own eyes!"
These people were furious and pointed at them and said, "Just now, when the storm started, he ran into our master's room and stole something very important!"
"He's a thief!"
"We must catch him!"
Listening to these people's accusations, Nan Yan's mind was suddenly in a mess. These people didn't seem to be pretending to be angry, and they probably didn't intend to frame her. But why would Jian Ruocheng come and steal things for no reason?
He, isn’t he here to help King Ning negotiate business?
At this moment, the hatch on the other side was also opened, and a group of people walked out.
When I looked up, I saw a man wearing a mask.
The man was not tall, but he looked very young and upright. He was wearing thick clothes, which were soaked by the water spray blown by the wind and stuck to his body. It was obvious that he was a very thin man.
The mask on his face was dark gold and exquisitely crafted, completely covering most of his face, leaving only his chin, lips, and eyes exposed.
Those were a pair of very deep eyes.
Even on such a stormy night, with huge waves and strong winds all around, his eyes seemed very calm, as if he had experienced even bigger storms, so these were nothing in his eyes.
However, when he looked at Nan Yan, his eyes flickered.
Nan Yan's heart trembled when she saw that flashing gaze.
Is this person the owner of this ship, the one who has been negotiating business with them behind the screen these days?
who is he?
Nan Yan looked at him, feeling a little lost for a moment, and at this moment, another person walked out from the side.
It was none other than Munch.
Are they two together?
Then, what about Jian Ruocheng?
What on earth happened tonight?
Nan Yan was full of questions, but could not get any answers. Only Li Bushang stood in front of her, protecting her as she retreated step by step.
At this time, several guards walked over and said to the masked man, "Master."
The masked man said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Master, we just saw Jian Ruocheng come out of your room and seemed to have taken something away."
"What?"
When the man heard this, he immediately turned around and said a few words to a personal guard who looked trustworthy. Then he turned around and ran into the cabin.
After a while, he turned back and said in a deep voice: "Master, the thing behind the mirror is gone!"
“……!”
Nan Yan saw that the masked man had a sharp look in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Where are the others?"
"Just now, my subordinates were trying to intercept him, but he was very cunning. He ran for a while and then disappeared."
"Gone?"
Even with the mask on, one could clearly sense the master's frown, a look of anger on his face: "This is my ship. There's a vast ocean and waves all around. Where can he go?"
The people around suddenly became quiet.
"Or—"
His voice was slightly drawn out, and he didn't say the rest of the words, but the meaning was self-evident.
When Nan Yan heard his words, her heart sank immediately.
She subconsciously turned her head to look around. It was dark all around, and the vast ocean was surging with waves, as if it had opened countless huge black mouths, wanting to swallow every one of them.
Where did Jian Ruocheng go?
Where can he go on such a sea?
Feeling that she was worried, Li Bushan looked back at her and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to worry about him."
“……!”
Nan Yan looked up at him.
Li Bushang said, "He was well prepared. Besides, he asked me to protect you, so he must have a backup plan."
"ah……"
Hearing this, Nan Yan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But my mind is still a little confused.
So, could it be that Jian Ruocheng really stole something from the other party, and he came on board not to discuss business at all?
Why?
Isn't he one of Prince Ning's men? What's his purpose in doing this now?
Just when her mind was in a mess and she couldn't make sense of anything, Monk on the other side raised a familiar, slightly evil smile and said lightly, "It seems that this brother doesn't intend to continue this business."
“…”
As soon as he said this, everyone realized that the deal had indeed come to an end.
And just now, they had already reached an agreement.
At this moment, the masked owner turned to look at Nan Yan and Li Bu Shang, his eyes darkening as he said, "Catch them."
"yes!"
The people around obeyed the order and rushed forward immediately.
Oh no!
When Nan Yan saw them all rushing towards her, she was a little panicked, but Li Bushang was not panicked at all. With one move, he knocked the person who was rushing in front of him to the ground. No one could even see how he did it.
He snatched the man's knife, held it across his chest, and protected Nan Yan as he retreated.
"No harm!"
“Get off the boat!”
When Nan Yan heard Li Bushang's voice, she was stunned for a moment and subconsciously turned back to look under the fence. She was surprised to find that there was a ship near the big ship, heading towards them.
The people on the boat were waving flags at them.
I’m here to pick up Jian Ruocheng!
