Chapter 123 Fear
"Brother Zhao, let's go back. We haven't eaten anything and we're starving." Xiao Ba said with a bitter face, looking at the man standing on the deck.
Although Zhao Yiming was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up under the current circumstances.
It was already noon the next day, and it was too late to make it by the time Miss Su and Gu Yu had agreed on.
"Let's go, let's go back." He felt a little irritable, not knowing what punishment would be waiting for them when they returned.
Although it is almost certain that the mission has failed, if he meets the man named Liang, he will not let him go.
If he himself is not having a good time, then let's all die together. Who cares about Liang's background? Why should he be superior to others?
When they heard that Zhao Yiming finally agreed to return, they couldn't help but feel happy. Just as they were about to turn the boat around, they made an unexpected discovery.
"Quick, Xiao Ba, come and see if that is the boat driven by Liang Jiadong."
Upon hearing this, several people looked forward. Although there was still some distance, Xiao Ba still recognized it. It was the boat that Liang Jiadong was driving.
He and Leung Ka Tung came here from Hong Kong together, and the ship was a foreign one, so he was quite impressed.
Zhao Yiming looked forward with a sharp and sinister gaze.

Xiuzhu was tired of lying down, so she stretched her muscles on the deck.
"You must be tired. We will arrive in Hong Kong tonight. I will take you to soak in the hot springs to relieve your fatigue." Liang Jiadong said expectantly. He couldn't wait to take her to experience the prosperity of Hong Kong.
Xiuzhu was speechless. She said eight hundred times that she wanted to go back to Guangzhou, but Liang Jiadong acted as if he didn't hear her and kept praising the good things about Hong Kong.
She thought that she and Gu Yu had finally resolved the crisis. She would wait until she got to Hong Kong, find out the whereabouts of her aunt, and then discuss with her aunt how to return to the inland.
Just go with the flow now and take it as an opportunity to experience Hong Kong in the 1960s.
Suddenly, there was a sound of shooting, the ship shook, and then water began to seep all around the ship, and the ship tilted. Everything happened so suddenly.
There was fear in Xiuzhu's eyes...

Gu Yu was like looking for a needle in a haystack at this time. He hadn't closed his eyes for two consecutive nights. He had a severe headache and his originally handsome face had become much more haggard.
But he still pulled himself together and looked ahead to see if there were any ships.
Not far ahead, it will be close to the Hong Kong River. There will be people patrolling on the sea level, and he will not be able to go there.
Thinking of this, he became even more anxious.
Gu Yu's ears moved. He heard voices, but...
He was unwilling to believe what was said.

"Brother Zhao, they fell into the sea. They are not dead, are they? Didn't we say before that we would bring them back?" Xiao Ba was worried and puzzled by Zhao Yiming's behavior.
Zhao Yiming showed a fierce look on his face. "There's no point in going back now. Think about it. It will be so late when we go back. It's past the agreed time for the mission. We won't be in any good situation if the mission fails anyway. We might as well kill these two people now without anyone noticing. If their bodies are discovered by then, no one will know what happened. Even if they are discovered, they will think we all died in the sea together."
"Ah? Then what should we do? Won't we become illegal residents?" Xiao Ba didn't quite understand and his tone was full of doubt.
"Let me ask you, do you want to be an illegal resident or be locked up and tortured?"
The three people present trembled all over when they heard the word "torture".
The mission failed. It was okay for senior talents like Su Yu, after all, they were not easily replaceable, but they were low-level personnel. They all grew up in poor families and had no food to eat. They were then sold to Hong Kong and then ended up in the hands of the organization.
People like them are too cheap and there are too many people who can be replaced. They have already failed twice. The higher-ups will definitely not let them go.
They knew very well what the consequences would be after being punished. Those who came out would either be dead or disabled.
Instead of this, it is better to leave the organization and hide your identity.
Being an illegal resident is better than being dead or disabled, so no one raised any objections.
"Brother Zhao, you did the right thing. The dead are dead. We were able to escape danger, and they both died for what they deserved."
"Who do you think deserved a death?" Gu Yu quickly snatched the gun that the other person had placed on his waist, and then put it against his forehead. His tone was sinister and terrifying, and his face was also very scary.
He had no weapon in his hands. In order to avoid being discovered, he swam over. At this moment, all his clothes had already been soaked by sea water.
He should have looked miserable, but the aura around him was like that of an evil ghost coming to take his life, dangerous and terrifying.
"Gu Yu? Why are you here?" Zhao Yiming was incredulous at first, then he turned around and shouted at the person who hadn't reacted, "Quick, control him quickly."
Unfortunately, they were no match for Gu Yu and he knocked them all down in just a few moves.
Then he began to question the whole story. He was unwilling to believe what he had just heard.
Zhao Yiming signaled with his eyes to keep quiet. He knew that once Gu Yu knew that they were the ones who sank the boat, he would surely die. It would be better for them to keep quiet and support him.
Seeing this, Gu Yu didn't waste any words. He tied up the hands and feet of these people with ropes, and then tied the other end of the rope to the stern of the boat.
Like dropping dumplings into the water, people were pushed off the boat one by one.
When they saw that someone had no strength to flap his arms and was almost motionless, they would lift him up and continue to ask him if he wanted to talk.
These people were still tough at the beginning, but after too many times, they began to be unable to bear it one after another.
The feeling of suffocation is so painful that it would be worse to be shot than to be tortured repeatedly like this.
They told the story truthfully, how they kidnapped Xiuzhu, took her to the dock, let her escape, and finally how she disappeared on the sinking ship.
Now they just want to die quickly. This torture method that makes life worse than death is too horrible.
Gu Yu's eyes were red, veins on his forehead were exposed, his knuckles were white, and his fingers were shaking uncontrollably.
Finally, he asked in a hoarse voice where Xiuzhu had the accident.
The location of the shipwreck was not far from where he was, and he arrived there soon. However, there were only some ship wreckage floating on the vast ocean.
…
Gu Yu searched the sea until almost dark but still could not find any trace of Xiuzhu. He didn't know whether he should be disappointed or relieved.
At least, he didn't have to see any consequences that he couldn't bear.
He glanced at the few people who were still hanging on to their last breath at the stern, his eyes grim and terrifying.
His Xiuzhu was so well-behaved that he usually couldn't bear to frown at her, but now the sea water was so cold that it was biting.
It was all because of this bunch of trash that she suffered such misfortune and her life or death is unknown.
Do they still want to die more easily? It's just a dream.
Gu Yu took out the dagger from his waist, walked up to them in one step, and cut the tendons of the hands and feet of the few people who were still alive on the deck.
The smell of blood immediately filled the air.
