"Isn't it beautiful?" He Chao patted his shoulder and winked at him.
The sea breeze, carrying the waves, crashed against the rocks, and there was a fresh, salty smell in the air. Jiang Wen felt more relaxed than ever before.
He Chao kept his eyes on him. "Okay, you stay here and keep watch for now. I'll go see if Captain Yu is back yet."
He took a few steps and quickly darted behind a rock.
Jiang Wen had long since let down his guard against him, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to where he went.
Five minutes later, He Chao rushed out with lightning speed and kicked him in the lower back.
Thump!
He Chao clapped his hands, finally letting out the eye roll he'd been holding back for so long. "Idiot, I'm telling you to do such stupid things! You're good at tattling, aren't you? Go tattling to the Dragon King at the bottom of the sea!"
If he weren't too weak, he really would have liked to beat him up.
After a while, he slowly stood on the rock he had just been standing on. "Brother Jiang Wen, where have you been?"
His words were full of emotion and vivid expression, clearly conveying his anxiety.
After watching for a while, he seemed to finally hear the thumping sound beneath his feet.
"Hey! Brother Jiang Wen, you don't need to react this strongly to just looking at the sea, do you? Why did you actually jump in?"
Jiang Wen was suddenly kicked, lost his balance, choked on some water, and couldn't even call out.
"Oh no! You're not drowning, are you? What are we going to do? I can't swim either!"
Despite his playful antics, He Chao knew his limits. If Jiang Wen were to lose his life here, the Wind Eagle Gang and the Blazing Fire Gang would likely develop a rift between them.
After watching the commotion for a while, he rolled up his sleeves and nimbly jumped down to rescue the people.
Jiang Wen was already unconscious when he was pulled out of the water.
He Chao rolled his eyes and slapped him hard across the chest.
Jiang Wen spat out a mouthful of seawater and then slowly woke up.
"What just happened? I think I felt someone kick me from behind."
He Chao feigned surprise, "What? You didn't jump down by yourself just now?"
"Did I look like I jumped down by myself just now?" Jiang Wen was almost driven to tears by his stupidity.
Moreover, after falling into the sea, he couldn't even use his wood-type abilities.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
He Chao pondered for a moment, "I see. It's probably someone sent by the other side to patrol. You're not so lucky."
He shook his head regretfully as he spoke.
With just one sentence, he absolved himself of all responsibility.
He Chao felt a little smug; it turned out this kid was so easy to fool.
Next time, how about we put a sack over his head and beat him up?
Anyway, we can just push it all onto those people on Worry-Free Island when the time comes.
Jiang Wen couldn't detect anything unusual either.
Hiss... still not working.
If he has the ability to fight back, his current superpower is level seven, while mine is only level six.
We can't win at all! And it's easy to expose ourselves.
Not really.
It's a pity. If my abilities were even slightly higher, I wouldn't have let him get away with it so easily.
"Alright, bro, you don't look too good right now. Let's not wait for Captain Yu. Go back and change your clothes, take a shower, and when Captain Yu comes, I'll just say I forgot to tell you, okay?"
Jiang Wen is not one to break his promises, but considering his current situation, going to see the highest-ranking leader of the Wind Eagle Gang in this state would easily make the Blazing Fire Gang lose face.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I'll trouble you. I've decided to be your friend. If you ever need any help in the future, just come to me."
He Chaoqiang suppressed the urge to smile and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you back. Tell me, tell me, those little trash on the other side are really despicable. They even resorted to sneak attacks from behind."
...
"I've said everything I needed to say. That's all for now. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first." With that, Lin Xi stood up.
"Wait a minute." The speaker was Yu Bo.
Lin Xi looked puzzled. "Is there anything I haven't made clear yet?"
"No, you've made yourself very clear." Captain Yu shook his head. "It's just that I can't let you leave right now."
Lin Xi's lips slowly relaxed into a straight line. "I thought I had a pleasant chat with everyone today, so what's going on here?"
“Young lady, you’re right, we did have a very pleasant chat today.” Captain Yu nodded in agreement. “However, these are two different things.”
"You still want to make a move?"
"No, I sincerely want you to stay and help."
"I'm busy." Lin Xi refused without even thinking.
Her father was still waiting for her, as was Lin Wang. That silly boy spent all his time wandering around Worry-Free Island searching for the truth, and now she had no idea where he had wandered off to.
When we tried to find him, we couldn't even spot a trace of him.
She doesn't have time to waste here with these people.
She needs to find them quickly.
Lin Xi patiently continued to explain, "I swear I just told you everything without reservation. As long as you come up with a suitable plan, the chances of success are very high."
"You helped Yun bring the message out of the small Western-style house, so you must have some extraordinary abilities."
Unable to fathom Captain Yu Bo's thoughts, Wu Heshan sat to the side without uttering a word.
Lin Xi sneered. When he fired her before, he didn't even blink, showing no regard for their past relationship, and issued a pursuit order.
Now that she's standing before them again in a different identity, they don't even bother to pretend; they're just jumping around in her face like they're playing abacus beads.
Yu Bo smiled and said, "Forgive me for being frank, but I really can't tell how much of what you say is true and how much is false. Apart from this letter from Yun, I recognize his handwriting and have indeed seen his keepsake before I dared to confirm it, but why should I believe you?"
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow, already feeling a little annoyed. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you don't believe me, there's no need to leave me here. Just let me go back."
"You've done things for those people before, so I can't tell if you'll tell anyone about what's going on here. So, there's no other way. Until we meet up with Yun and the others, I'll have to trouble you to stay here for a while. Don't worry, it's definitely not the kind of place where prisoners are held."
Lin Xi sneered.
Upon receiving the signal, Wu and Shan stood up and stared intently at her.
Shall we have a fight?
It's not impossible.
Just as he was about to activate his psychic abilities, He Chao stepped forward and said, "Don't make a move! She's a friend of my friend, so she's my friend too."
Lin Xi was taken aback.
She never expected that even after changing her face and identity, He Chao would still stand in front of her.
By the way, if I act rashly, I'll definitely end up fighting with He Chao.
She softened for a moment.
"You'll send people in beforehand, right?"
"We do have this plan."
"A few days?"
"Three days later."
Lin Xi nodded, not for too long, "Okay, I'll go in with your people then."
