If they hadn't already entered the border territory of Country Z, their actions, which were utterly unacceptable, would probably have been bombarded by enemy artillery long ago.
Liu Chengzhi suddenly became very excited, mainly because he wanted to see who knew him.
Can't I even express my gratitude?
...
After a group of people had run around in a sorry state, losing their shoes and some even having a leg of their pants torn off, they finally made it to the camp entrance within five minutes.
Holy crap!
At this moment, there seems to be nothing left to lament; these two words perfectly encapsulate it!
Then, I saw a row of important figures with gleaming gold epaulets standing on the observation platform. So, it was one of these people who shouted that just now?
That's absolutely right!
It was the adjutant who shouted!
Who introduced the adjutant to Liu Chengzhi?
His father and his adjutant were childhood friends, and he would still recognize his childhood friend's son even if he were burned to ashes.
Sure enough, when Liu Chengzhi saw his adjutant, he immediately understood everything:
"Hello, Uncle!"
He honestly went up and called out to the person.
The adjutant's mouth twitched as he looked at him: "What's wrong with you, kid? What happened to you?"
If Gu Beiwang and his group were like beggars, then Liu Chengzhi and his group were definitely cavemen.
Sigh, it's all tears when I think about it.
Liu Chengzhi looked at his companions, one of whom looked at Gu Beiwang. Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he stepped forward:
"Uncle Gu!"
Forehead?
Gu Beiwang looked at him several times before he finally realized, "The Ye family brat? You...."
Damn, I didn't recognize him at all!
Isn't he Ye Yuerui, the young master of the second branch of the Ye family?
Didn't we say we were going to Hong Kong?
What happened?
For a moment, Gu Beiwang, his adjutant, and everyone who knew them were all shocked; it was truly a pitiful sight.
Liu Chengzhi is a little more shameless:
"Well, uncles and elders, it's not our fault. We were just boarding the ship normally when we encountered pirates halfway back. Luckily, we were born and swam to shore alive. It's just that... we look a bit miserable. All the things we brought with us were given to the Water God in the palace, but at least we survived."
pirate?
These few people actually encountered something that happens only once in a century; their luck seems to be unparalleled.
...
Hearing the boys' explanations, the adults were all sobbing. In the end, they had someone take the boys downstairs to change clothes and have a meal.
Of course, this small-scale battle was over, so Gu Beiwang and the others held an emergency meeting and then went downstairs to take showers and change clothes.
There are less than three days left until the old man's birthday banquet. If we rush back now, we don't know if we'll be able to get back in time.
If we can't get back in time, I can already imagine the old man's cane.
........
Shower room.
It wasn't exactly a shower room; it was just a tent-like area where several young men stood, each with a bucket of cold water at their feet, wiping themselves and their hair with old clothes. At least it was presentable enough.
Ye Yuerui finished washing first, took the bucket outside, and then sat on the stone outside. She took out a thick stack of things from her pocket and wrapped them with plastic wrap many times so that no water got in.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yuerui smiled.
This is a good thing, and it's most of what I've gained in Hong Kong over this period of time. After removing the things that got soaked in water, all that's left is this cash—all hundred-dollar bills!
A huge stack of cash, roughly calculated, is worth at least several hundred thousand RMB.
Luckily, Ye Yuerui was clever and hid in an indescribable place beforehand, otherwise...
Well, it's better not to say these things outright.
