As soon as the person appeared, the n and won who had been arguing fiercely just monts before quickly separated, standing obediently like good students in front of the person.
"Boss."
"Boss, you’re here?"
The others asked confusedly, "Boss, now? Didn’t we agree to wait until the ship reaches the port tomorrow before we retreat? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
A man with lake green eyes and a scar on his left eye walked over in military boots, saying in a deep voice, "Li Shengxiao has caught up."
ixi was startled, exclaiming, "That big shot from Hua Country?"
"Yes." The man said softly, "He’s not only connected to Hua Country, but he also knows the security forces stationed in the Kenya area. It would be very troubleso if he caught us doing business over there."
ixi was silent for a while, then asked in puzzlent, "Isn’t he a businessman? How does he have such deep connections?"
They were involved with knife-edge activities, fearless of offending businessn, but wary of being targeted by official agencies.
To them, being targeted by an official agency was like being pinned down at a crucial spot, very troubleso.
"We were deceived. The person who gave us the job didn’t tell us it was related to the Lin Family. I got intel; the other party has already tracked us and is chasing this way. By tomorrow, they’ll definitely block us at the British dock, and we must retreat overnight."
He turned his head and instructed the silent crowd, "Prepare yourselves. We leave at midnight."
After he left, the dozen or so people were like eggplants beaten by frost, withered.
The burly man was the first to break the silence, grumbling, "I don’t like paddling a kayak, the nearest island is a three-day paddle away..."
"The boss has already given orders, like it or not, you have to paddle. Hurry up and work; don’t leave all the work to !" ixi glared at him fiercely and went looking for the kayaks with annoyance.
The remaining dozen or so people resigned themselves to their chores, inflating the rafts, all too aware that this current job was a bust.
Not only did they not make much money, but with the way they were being relentlessly pursued, they would have to keep a low profile for a long ti.
ixi finished inflating one raft and, still angry, kicked it, erupting in complaint, "Damn! What kind of rich man would go to such lengths for his wife? Aren’t all n in the world ruthless and unreliable? I’d be thankful to God if he honestly paid the ransom, but he actually chased us down..."
Why hadn’t she ever t such a good man?
That little chick was just too lucky!
In the night, a dozen or so dinghies quietly disappeared into the vast, boundless sea...

Rong Yan didn’t sleep all night, chatting with a newly acquainted wealthy uncle.
The other party talked to her about his wife, children, and even shared stories of how he and his wife t when they were young.
In addition, Rong Yan found that the other person was very knowledgeable, having traveled to many places and having an interest in music and Chinese painting.
Ti flew while chatting with such a person, and before she knew it, it was dawn.
Chu Aotian chatted with her for the whole night, and seeing her dark circles erging, he said as soon as the morning light broke, "Young lady, thank you for chatting with for so long. Are you tired? Why don’t you take a shower first? I’ll ask soone to find you a change of clothes. Let’s have breakfast, and then the ship will reach the dock. Here, take this."
Rong Yan took the phone he handed over, hesitated a mont, and looked at him, "This..."
Chu Aotian’s light brown eyes shone with gentle brilliance, "The signal at sea is unstable, but we’ve approached the dock, so if we’re lucky, you might be able to make a call. You can give it a try."
