Niu Dazhuang's figure had already rushed in, and even with the poisonous gas spreading, Li Ke still recognized the figure rushing towards the restaurant.
The restaurant was filled with thick, pungent smoke, and screams and cries of terror could be heard from the men and women inside. Li Ke and Niu Dazhuang were the first to enter and subdue the people.
Five people died, three men and two women, caused by their own people in the restaurant being provoked by the poison gas and firing indiscriminately.
Once they opened the windows to dissipate the poisonous fog, the gunfire outside the restaurant soon stopped. There were too many bodyguards outside, and the others were unable to break through the defenses and were kept outside.
The people in the restaurant had all been tied up and thrown into two piles. The guards were easy to identify; their clothes and weapons were all similar.
Niu Dazhuang continued to use his sharp eyes, pointing to two men in another group and saying, "They should be the big boss and the second boss here."
Li Ke looked over and saw that the two men had deep-set eyes and high noses, and were dressed in ordinary suits, not much different from the other captured men.
Without asking why, Li Ke simply told Niu Dazhuang to fetch a basin of water and splash the two men awake for interrogation.
The matter was only resolved after the two men admitted their identities, called in the security captain, and ordered them to stop resisting.
Soon, more people from the lower levels surged up and subdued and herded all those from the tenth floor upwards together.
Li Ke and Niu Dazhuang even dispatched a helicopter on the fifteenth floor. Niu Dazhuang was amazed that these people had a helicopter but didn't know how to use it.
Li Ke felt that these people were probably too confident and didn't think they would be taken down by the people downstairs.
After interrogating the newly acquired group of people to a sufficient extent, Li Ke asked Niu Dazhuang to ask Yan Bo when the military would arrive to take over the area.
Niu Dazhuang was unaware of this matter, but after a moment's thought, he understood. They had gone to great lengths to acquire these two ships and were leaving in two days, so they certainly couldn't let their hard-won gains go to waste.
Yan Bo's answer was straightforward: the support troops should arrive by tomorrow evening, and they would send someone to meet them.
Upon hearing the reply, Li Ke instructed Niu Dazhuang to quickly gather all the valuable items from the ship, giving them the majority to make sea supplies and keeping the remainder for himself until they returned with their men.
Niu Dazhuang's mood instantly soured again: "The military has already sent people over, what am I still doing here? I'll go to sea with you!"
Li Ke didn't want Niu Dazhuang to go to sea. Xiao Yi had led so many skilled men out to sea, and now they had all completely disappeared. One could imagine how dangerous the road ahead was.
Li Ke herself is unlikely to die, but if Niu Dazhuang gets into danger, she has no choice but to save him. Saving him would definitely expose her spatial dimension, and that guy is very shrewd.
She didn't want him to die, but she also didn't want her secret to be known by others.
"No, you either wait here or go back to the safe zone. We can't keep sending people out. This is an order, and I'm emphasizing it for the last time. Otherwise, this will be our last conversation," Li Ke replied coldly.
Niu Dazhuang gritted his teeth for a long time and said, "Then you must promise to come back."
Li Ke sighed: "Don't worry, I won't die. Even if you heard about my death from someone else, you don't need to believe it unless you see my body."
Niu Dazhuang went to prepare supplies, and Li Ke took the opportunity to release Susan. At this time, Li Ke had already taken off her mask and was not much of a cover-up.
Susan looked Li Ke up and down for a while before saying with a half-smile, "You've changed a lot. We were all fooled by you back then."
Li Ke leaned back on the sofa: "You haven't changed much, you're still very beautiful."
Susan stared at Li Ke: "So, that wealth really did end up in China?"
Li Ke looked back, her eyes icy: "If you want to continue living, forget about this completely and never mention it to anyone again. I may not want to kill you, but that doesn't mean I won't."
Susan lowered her gaze and obediently replied, "I understand. You have complete control of this ship now?"
Li Ke nodded slightly, and Susan asked with a smile, "What do you plan to do with those people? And me too?"
Li Ke has already investigated. Susan is here only as the female companion of these two bosses. She hasn't done anything wrong; she's just ignoring the crimes of others to protect herself.
“An eye for an eye. As for you, I’ll give you another option: you can stay on this ship and make a living, or you can join my base. But the living conditions there won’t be as good as what you have now; it’ll be a grueling, dusty existence,” Li Ke said after a moment’s thought.
Susan frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Can't I find another man to rely on and live a good life again?"
Li Ke sat up straight and looked at her: "Can't you earn a living with your own hands? No man is as reliable as yourself."
Susan said helplessly, "But I've been supported by men since I was a child. Even now, I've never had a really hard life. I don't know if I can endure the kind of life you're talking about. I love beauty and enjoy life. If it's really too hard, I'd rather die."
Li Ke was speechless. After a while, he stood up and sincerely suggested, "Then you should suffer first. If you really can't take it, then you can die."
Susan followed her: "We've been old friends for a while now. I see you're doing quite well now, can't you introduce me to a good man?"
Li Ke sighed, "I don't understand men, so I can't help you."
Susan looked Li Ke up and down again, her attire indistinguishable from a woman's, and completely believed her words: "Then I'll be able to tell. I'll go find it myself. You won't stop me, will you?"
