He Mengchao was used to it. If there was danger, he wouldn't go, letting others charge ahead, and he'd be the one to pick up the spoils at the end.
He was just a bit curious, "Brother Xie, how did you know it was here?"
Though he couldn't compliment He Mengchao's character, being with Xie Sui always made him feel like his intelligence wasn't enough. He Mengchao couldn't help but continue his endless stream of questions.
Xie Sui pointed at the floating life trash on the sea and said, "Isn't it obvious? There are people on the island, quite a few of them, or there wouldn't be so much trash?" Su Dan Novel Network.
What kind of good manners do pirates have? They throw people into the sea to feed the fish, let alone trash. Can they even sort and process it for you?
He Mengchao understood, "Brother Xie is still the smart one!"
Ah Hua said nothing. Stimulated by the possibility of withdrawing money with the black card, the bodyguards became even more daring. The lifeboat shuttled back and forth, transporting people and weapons. Then, they waited.
There were even hidden sentries on the island. Ah Hua and his team were professionals and didn't alert the sentries, successfully entering the island.
Before long, fierce gunfire erupted, followed by the rumbling of landmines. Xie Sui flinched, "They're really going at it!"
"Is it thundering?"
Du Feiyang stumbled out, groggily awakened from his sleep. He pulled down his pants and went to relieve himself into the sea.
Xie Sui: "Don't pee like that, be careful the fish come up and snatch your little wangwang."
"How is that possible? What fish can fly that high!"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Mengchao shoved him hard. Du Feiyang fell into the cabin. Outside, a large fish flew by. If he hadn't dodged, not only his little brother, but he himself would have been dragged away.
Xie Sui: "..."
Heaven as my witness, he just said it casually.
"Brother Xie, you scared me to death, are you a jinx?"
Xie Sui chuckled sheepishly, "I didn't mean to. I can only blame your bad luck. You don't respect the fish, and they lose face? If I were really a jinx, I'd curse Inspector Liang and the others to run into a storm."
Du Feiyang, still shaken, leaned on the deck to rest for a while.
A signal came from the opposite side, and the gunfire gradually weakened. Xie Sui waved his hand, "Let's go, up to the island."
Ah Hua was waiting for them and personally extended a deck for him to cross, his face beaming with excitement, "We found the hostages, all accounted for, they're all here."
"And the pirates? Did you kill them all?"
"Half were killed, the rest were captured. We lost a few of our own men too. These guys' weapons are more advanced; they must have gotten them from abroad. If a group like this were to commit evil, who knows how many people would die."
Xie Sui stepped ashore. The soft sand was fine and white, and one could see faces clearly under the moonlight. The sound of the waves was constant. It was a good place for a vacation.
"Let's buy this island later and build our private estate. It would be nice to come here for a holiday."
Du Feiyang exclaimed, "Buying an island? Brother Xie, you're amazing. Others buy yachts, and you've upgraded to an island. Count me in, I'll be your neighbor."
"No, I'm bringing my wife and kids. What if you corrupt them? If you want to buy, buy the island next door. As the esteemed Young Master Du, you should have your own island!"
Du Feiyang was appeased again, "It's settled then."
Strolling leisurely on the island, his resolve to buy it strengthened.
"Mr. Xie, they're just ahead. The hostages and pirates are kept separately. Chen Qiang, in particular, his head is worth the most, so I've had him kept alone."
"Good job. Give me a handgun."
"Brother Xie, what are you doing with a gun?"
"Just in case. What if there's a straggler? I'll feel more at ease with a gun."
He Mengchao instructed, "Ah Hua, you still need to search carefully. Brother Xie said there will be stragglers, his jinx prediction is the most accurate.
You almost sent Young Master Du's little brother to his doom just now!"
Du Feiyang cursed, "Don't mention it, I have dignity!"
Ah Hua was half-convinced, but still obeyed and went to search. Caution never hurts.
A Fei had been following Xie Sui, taciturn. Xie Sui wasn't his emotional mentor and ignored him. A man could truly love someone, but it depended on whether that woman was worth it.
"Let's go see the hostages first."
A Fei finally spoke, "Brother Xie, can I take Yuan Yuan away?"
Xie Sui was indifferent, "You can. But if you want to keep this job, distinguish priorities and do your work properly, otherwise, tonight will be your last day of work."
A Fei lowered his head, "Brother Xie, don't worry. I sincerely want to stay by your side. Your kindness to me is no less than that of my parents. I want to repay you."
Xie Sui patted his shoulder, "Don't say that. If I had such a foolish son, I would have slapped him long ago. He's disgraced me completely. Wanting to repay me is a good intention, but you must have the capability. A man can be without love, but not without a career, without money. A man without money lives worse than a dog."
A Fei: "I understand."
Xie Sui saw the hostages, including the beautiful Miss Guan Zhizhi, who no longer had her former arrogance, trembling in a corner.
Tang Ling excitedly grasped his hand, "Mr. Xie, thank you so much! We thought we were dead this time. You are our savior!"
"Young Master Tang, you're too kind. It was just a coincidence. We are all brothers, it's what we should do. No casualties, right? The bodyguards from each family are here. I alone couldn't have saved them. We united to save them, and fortunately, we succeeded!"
Secretary Jin tearfully held Jun Shao, "Young Master, are you alright? It's so good to see you alive. Did they hurt you?"
Jun Shao's arrogance also faltered. He hadn't spoken to Xie Sui before, deeming him a country bumpkin. Now that Xie Sui had saved him, Jun Shao felt a little embarrassed by Xie Sui's half-smile, "I'm fine, why would they hit me? It's making a fuss over nothing, don't embarrass yourself."
Secretary Jin didn't forget Xie Sui's contribution and thanked him sincerely, "Fortunately, we have Mr. Xie. If we had relied on those useless police officers, Young Master, you would have been in danger. This group is notorious for not keeping their word for money; they would have killed the hostages!"
Jun Shao still didn't want to talk to Xie Sui. His own bodyguards had rescued him; Xie Sui had merely acted as a guide.
"Can we leave now? I don't want to stay in a place like this for another minute."
Secretary Jin looked at Xie Sui. Xie Sui nodded, "Let's go to the ship first, take a shower, change clothes, have something to eat. Once things are settled, we'll return immediately."
Jun Shao, his face grim, left with his family's bodyguards. Secretary Jin repeatedly apologized, explaining that his young master had this temper and asking Mr. Xie to be understanding.
Xie Sui was very good-natured, "It's alright. For the sake of money, even if Young Master Jun's attitude was ten times worse, I could bear it. We're resolving issues with money, each getting what they need. I don't need Young Master Jun to apologize to me, and we can't afford that kind of treatment."
Du Feiyang laughed heartily, "Exactly! I'll pay a million for Young Master Jun to smile."
Xie Sui said, "Give it to me, and I'll smile for you. A million, I'll even dance for you! Money shouldn't be wasted like this!"
