Chapter 431 - 432: Lou Xi Falls Into the Sea
After Lou Xi whispered to Qin Mobai that the people coming to get them had guns around their waists, Qin Mobai realized something was wrong.
There was no way the people Lu Li called would carry such aggressive weapons, and these people boarded his yacht openly and "invited" them onto the speedboat without any confrontation.
And the direction they were heading wasn’t towards the open sea; it seemed more like... back to the previous island.
Qin Mobai pulled Lou Xi closer into his arms and whispered, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
Because Qin Mobai was kidnapped when he was sixteen, it left an indelible scar in his heart. Now facing a similar situation, he should have had some experience.
If he were alone, of course, he could fight to the death.
But now that Lou Xi was with him, he couldn’t disregard Lou Xi’s safety. He had to think of a way to retreat safely.
The speedboat sped towards the island, and the people who had just put them on the speedboat were now staring intently at the two of them.
They were probably thinking that these two were cooperating so well. The higher-ups had initially said to "invite" the two back for a talk, expecting some struggles, but it went smoothly.
Of course, that was just what they thought was a smooth process.
The speedboat hit a wave, and its speed suddenly slowed down.
Lou Xi didn’t sit steady and leaned forward with a cry of surprise.
The man next to him became very nervous and instinctively placed his hand on his waist, reaching for his gun.
While their attention was on Lou Xi, Qin Mobai swiftly pulled out the gun from the man’s waist beside him, twisted the man’s arm, and pressed the gun to his temple.
"Lou Xi, get behind me now!" Qin Mobai’s move was so fast that the men didn’t even see how he did it!
Lou Xi quickly ran behind Qin Mobai, realizing they indeed encountered trouble.
"Young Master Qin, could they be pirates..." Lou Xi whispered in Qin Mobai’s ear.
Isn’t piracy rampant around the Indian Ocean? Yet, it’s strange that they only boarded the speedboat without robbing!
"Just assume they’re pirates!" Qin Mobai replied to Lou Xi, feeling these people were even more troublesome than pirates.
Most likely, they were sent by Shen Youran and Ji Mushen.
"Jump into the sea, or I’ll shoot him!" Qin Mobai said, addressing the man who was in a tense state opposite him.
The three men immediately drew their guns, aiming the dark barrels at Qin Mobai and Lou Xi.
The hostage stood in front of Lou Xi and Qin Mobai, at least their vital points were not exposed to the others.
The speedboat had stopped, and they were now in a standoff on the sea surface.
The sunlight blazed, scorching the people on the speedboat. The man who became a hostage in Qin Mobai’s hands wasn’t scared at all.
"Sail the boat, don’t worry about me!" The hostage, with a gun against his head, uttered reckless words!
Indeed, he was really willing to give his life for the boss!
"Loyal to a fault?" Qin Mobai snorted, knowing the most fearsome thing at such a moment was a hostage willing to sacrifice.
"You can’t escape. Even if we all jump into the sea, this speedboat won’t last until you find rescue!" one man said, gripping the trigger tightly, as if he might accidentally pull it.
While the man was speaking, one of them turned back to steer the boat, and suddenly the speedboat moved, causing Lou Xi, who was behind Qin Mobai, to lose her balance and fall backward!
With a splash, Lou Xi fell into the sea.
