My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 473 - 470 Blackwater Riverbank

Linghu Wuheng gently exhaled a stifled breath, "The bandits are much more cunning than we imagined. It won't be easy to capture them."

"No matter how sly the fox is, it can't escape from the hunter's palm," Xiahou Wei said with a fierce expression. "I must capture him and then torture him severely, making him beg for life yet wish for death!"

"Everyone go back. The bandits won't be coming," Du Yue sighed softly. "After going back, think carefully and come up with an effective way to deal with the bandits."

And so, everyone left with heavy hearts.

...

In the distance.

In a dark corner.

Gao Fei crouched on the ground, head down, communicating with the old man in the Bronze Coffin through mental power.

"Senior, you really guessed right," Gao Fei said admiringly. "Those fellows indeed tried to trick me with fakes."

"It's all experience," the old man in the Bronze Coffin chuckled. "I've lived for too long, seen too many things, been through so much, and gradually, I've accumulated life experience." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't feel pressured. Those overbearing rich kids must have done many bad deeds. By kidnapping them, you're also removing harm for the people."

"Senior is right," Gao Fei nodded. "Kidnapping that group of dandies is not only removing harm for the people but also allows me to extort some Spirit Stones and Amethysts, killing two birds with one stone. My only worry is... whether those noble figures will refuse to pay the ransom."

"Rest assured, they will definitely pay the ransom," the old man in the Bronze Coffin said with certainty. "Even if they are heartless, they wouldn't watch their children die tragically with their eyes open."

...

Three days later.

Xiahou Wei and the others received another flyer from the bandits.

The flyer had just one sentence: Today, at noon, throw the ransom into the Blackwater River. If you try any tricks again, prepare to collect corpses.

"What does everyone think?" Xiahou Wei asked in a deep voice.

"Agree to it," Du Yue said with a wry smile. "I don't want to see my child suffer anymore."

Linghu Wuheng also nodded, "He wants Spirit Stones and Amethysts, right? Give them to him!"

"Don't play any more tricks this time!"

"We'll deploy more people. As soon as he shows up, we'll swarm him and chop him down!"

"We can't chop him up! We need to keep him alive to find out where the kids are."

The others also expressed their views.

Xiahou Wei said, "The other side wants one hundred million Spirit Stones and one hundred thousand Amethysts. Let's split it by the number of people... I've done the calculations, each person needs to contribute seven million Spirit Stones and seven thousand Amethysts."

Everyone was pained, especially by the Amethysts.

"Let's all chip in," Xiahou Wei said as he took out Spirit Stones and Amethysts first.

Linghu Wuheng was the second to bring out Spirit Stones and Amethysts, followed by Du Yue... Others also brought out Spirit Stones and Amethysts in turn...

It didn't take long to gather one hundred million Spirit Stones and one hundred thousand Amethysts.

Xiahou Wei found two Storage Bags, put the mountain-like Spirit Stones and Amethysts into them, then made his way outside.

The others followed suit.

An hour later, they arrived at the Blackwater Riverbank.

"Shall I throw it?" Xiahou Wei looked back at everyone.

"Throw it."

"Hurry and throw it away!"

"It hurts just looking at it."

...

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of his hand, Xiahou Wei threw the two Storage Bags out.

"Plop, plop!"

After tracing two beautiful parabolas through the air, the Storage Bags disappeared into the water, and as expected, they would end up at the bottom.

"Let's leave! The bandit won't dare to show up if we stay here," Xiahou Wei said before leaping away.

The others also flew up into the sky, turning into streaks of light that rapidly disappeared into the distance.

Xiahou Wei and his men had already made their preparations, just waiting for the bandit to appear.

...

At the bottom of the Blackwater River.

A bronze coffin moved slowly along.

Sitting inside the coffin was a person, and upon closer inspection, it was Gao Fei.

Gao Fei listened intently to the noise outside while communicating with the old man in the bronze coffin through mental power, "Senior, I'm counting on you this time."

"Don't worry, with me here, you won't be in any trouble," said the old man in the bronze coffin confidently. "Last time in the Sea of Death, we were surrounded by a group of experts at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, but we still managed to break free in the end."

Gao Fei appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was extremely nervous. His current action was akin to "pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth," with a very high level of danger. A slight negligence could lead to an irrecoverable disaster.

Stay steady, you must stay steady!

Don't be nervous!

With the protection of the bronze coffin, nothing will happen.

Gao Fei kept reassuring himself in his mind.

An hour later, the bronze coffin came to a stop.

Gao Fei's body shook, "I see the ransom."

"Yes, it's not far down there," said the old man in the bronze coffin. "You can reach out and grab it."

"Then what are we waiting for! Hurry up and open the lid, I'll go grab the ransom," urged Gao Fei.

"Remember, once you get the ransom, come back immediately, without any delay."

"I understand."

"Click, click!"

The lid of the bronze coffin opened a crack, and Gao Fei darted out, snatching up two storage bags settled on the seabed, then quickly returned to the bronze coffin.

"Swoosh!"

The bronze coffin turned into a streak of light and quickly shot away.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just where the bronze coffin had paused, the area suddenly erupted in violent explosions, and waves of terrifying Qi swept in all directions.

At the same time, over a dozen figures appeared at the bottom of the sea, each exuding a strong killing intent.

"No one?"

"The storage bags are gone too!"

"He ran off quite fast!"

"Chase after him! We absolutely can't let him escape!"

...

Xiahou Wei and his men quickly gave chase.

Time seemed to reverse, just over two months ago, Gao Fei sat in the bronze coffin, being pursued by King Li He of the Northern Town and others. Now, it's City Defense General Xiahou Wei and his men chasing after him... Wasn't the situation eerily similar?

"Boom!"

The bronze coffin burst out of the water and flew towards the sky, so fast that only a blur could be seen.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Xiahou Wei and his men broke through the water surface one after another, then pursued the bronze coffin at an unbelievable speed, communicating through mental power as they chased.

"Why is it a bronze coffin?" These were the thoughts of Xiahou Wei.

"The bandit must be hiding inside the bronze coffin," Linghu Wuheng thought.

"No wonder he dares to extort us, turns out he really does have some tricks up his sleeve," thought Du Yue.

"Everyone, put in more effort, we absolutely cannot let him escape."

"Once we catch up, we'll smash the bronze coffin to pieces, cripple the bandit hidden inside, and then force him to reveal the whereabouts of the children."

"After finding out where the children are, we'll tear the bandit to pieces and feed him to the fish!"

...

Everyone gritted their teeth, employing every trick they had to catch up with the bronze coffin.
