He Zhan also looked very prepared. He never expected that something like this would happen.
"Junior sister, I really don't know what's going on." He Zhan looked at Zhou Yi with guilt on his face.
"Brother, this is not your fault. If I'm not mistaken, these should be Wu Zhongxi's men. I didn't expect him to have a backup plan. Even if they weren't waiting here, we would have met them somewhere else." Zhou Yi said while looking at He Zhan, then turned to look at Lao Huang and said, "It's just that this time, Lao Huang and the others have been implicated."
By this time, Old Huang was certain that the people from the coastline were coming for Zhou Yi and the others. Now that they were on the same boat, the simple old man didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a small boat approached Lao Huang's boat and shouted with a small trumpet: "Lao Huang, this incident has nothing to do with you. We urge you to follow us into the reserved channel."
After listening to this, Old Huang looked at Zhou Yi and He Zhan, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Old Huang, they are indeed coming for us." Zhou Yi looked at Old Huang and said apologetically.
No matter what choice Lao Huang makes, she will not blame him. After all, he is an old fisherman in this area and depends on this sea for his livelihood. It would not be wise to offend the local tyrants because of them.
"Old Huang, does your ship have any equipment that can communicate with the outside world?" Yun Gaofei asked from the side.
Old Huang shook his head truthfully, saying that a small fishing boat like theirs couldn't possibly have such equipment.
Seeing this, Yun Gaofei said, "Old Huang, I'm sorry."
After that, he took Lao Huang hostage and said to the boatmen, "Change direction and head towards the coastline by the mountain over there."
Zhou Yi saw that Yun Gaofei had kidnapped Lao Huang, and he immediately knew what he was thinking. He knew that Yun Gaofei would never hurt Lao Huang, but just didn't want to make things difficult for Lao Huang.
Old Huang was held hostage by Yun Gaofei. At first, he struggled with fear on his face. After a moment, he understood Yun Gaofei's intention and winked at his men, indicating that they should do as Yun Gaofei said.
The people on the small boat not far from Lao Huang's boat saw that Yun Gaofei had kidnapped Lao Huang and changed the direction of the boat, so they hurriedly drove the boat towards the coastline.
When the boat approached the coastline, several boats immediately sailed out slowly and headed towards Lao Huang's boat.
"Brother Yun, the coastline beside the mountain is full of reefs in the sea. Our ship can only stop 200 meters away from the coastline at most." The kidnapped Lao Huang reminded without fear in his eyes.
Yun Gaofei let go of Lao Huang and thought to himself that if it was a normal sea area, they would have no problem swimming 200 meters to the shore, but if there were dense reefs, the danger would increase greatly.
"Old Huang, I'm sorry for offending you just now. It was really forced by the situation. This is good for both you and us." Yun Gaofei first apologized to Old Huang, then asked, "What about the coastline beyond the hill ahead?"
Old Huang pursed his lips in understanding, then looked at the coastline beside the mountain, thought for a moment, and said, "There aren't as many reefs over there, but the water is very deep, and the boat behind us will catch up in less than ten minutes. By then, you'll have no choice but to jump into the sea when you're about 500 meters from land. It's getting dark now, so it'll be very dangerous."
After hearing what Old Huang said, Yun Gaofei looked at He Zhan and Zhou Yi with worry in his eyes.
If they fell into the hands of the people besieging them, they would undoubtedly die. Jumping into the sea 500 meters away from the coast at night might give them a chance of survival, but the danger index would still be very high.
This has nothing to do with one's swimming ability. The sense of direction in the dark, the depth of the sea, and the dangers in the water are all difficult to predict.
"Old Huang, just drive over there." Zhou Yi said.
He Zhan didn't say a word and was still feeling deep remorse. If he hadn't taken his junior sister to the sea, he wouldn't have encountered such passive danger. If something happened to his junior sister, he would be ashamed to face his father and mistress, and would never forgive himself.
"Is this the time to feel guilty?" Yun Gaofei glanced at He Zhan and said in a low voice.
He Zhan looked at Yun Gaofei, only to see that Yun Gaofei had a calm face, a firm gaze, and a powerful sense of majesty emanating from his whole body. At this moment, he inexplicably felt that Yun Gaofei was very reliable.
Yun Gaofei turned around and walked to the edge of the boat and took out a thin and tough-looking rope. He tied one end to the corner of Zhou Yi's clothes and the other end to the corner of He Zhan's clothes.
After tying it up, he looked at He Zhan and said, "Wait a moment, Lao Huang's boat will move close to the reef area. After passing the reef area, you and Xiaoyi will immediately and quietly jump off the boat. That location is only about 200 meters from the coast. You must bring Xiaoyi to shore safely."
Yun Gaofei knew that as long as they got ashore, He Zhan would be able to protect Zhou Yi.
"What about you?" Zhou Yi looked at Yun Gaofei and asked with concern in his eyes.
Yun Gaofei looked at Xiaoyi, smiled and said, "It's night now. The boat is facing the mountain, so they can't see clearly. You two should jump down quietly. They shouldn't be able to see you."
"What I'm asking is, what about you?" Zhou Yi's face turned serious.
"Now, He Zhan, take Xiaoyi away." Yun Gaofei said as he held Lao Huang hostage again and stood on the side of the boat facing the pursuing ship. He should have deliberately let the chasing ship behind see that he was still on the boat.
At this time, Zhou Yi and He Zhan both knew his intention. As long as the ships behind saw that he was still holding Old Huang hostage, they would not think that the people on the ship had already jumped into the sea.
It has to be said that this plan can indeed ensure the safety of the two people who quietly enter the sea, but the person who stays on the boat to hide from others will be in great danger.
He Zhan thought for a moment. He realized that the danger was caused by him, and he couldn't let Yun Gaofei face such danger. While trying to untie the rope at the corner of his clothes, he said to Yun Gaofei, "Yun Gaofei, take Xiaoyi and jump into the sea. I will attract them."
"Don't talk nonsense, jump. When we get to the front of the mountain, I will jump into the sea as well. You will meet me there." Yun Gaofei looked at He Zhan with dignity, and then said hurriedly, "Don't waste time. If anything happens to Xiaoyi, I will not let you go, and your father and mistress will not let you go either. Quick, take Xiaoyi away."
The reason why Yun Gaofei kept urging He Zhan was because he saw Zhou Yi was also about to untie the corner of his clothes. He could see that Zhou Yi did not intend to jump into the sea with He Zhan.
After listening to Yun Gaofei's words, He Zhan looked at Zhou Yi and stopped untying the rope. He didn't dare to delay any longer because the boat had already left the reef area and was further away from the coastline. If they missed Yun Gaofei's plan, the three of them would face great danger at the same time.
He doesn't care about life or death. If his junior sister is in danger, his father and mistress will not survive either.
Thinking of this, He Zhan glanced at Yun Gaofei. He remembered this favor and pulled Zhou Yi towards the boat.
"Brother, please let me go." Zhou Yi saw He Zhan pulling her towards the boat leaning against the mountain. She looked at Yun Gaofei angrily and raised her voice, "Yun Gaofei, who allowed you to make the decision without permission? Who allowed you to make such an arrangement?"
"Xiaoyi, if we can escape danger this time, let's start over." Yun Gaofei looked at Zhou Yi with a smile. He was holding Lao Huang hostage, his figure was as firm as a mountain, and he stood motionless in a position where he could only be seen by the boat behind.
