Chapter 944 916: Don't Point a Gun at My Head

The 'Underground City' matter should be the business of 'Black Crow'. The old man clearly knew that doing so would anger those people, yet he still involved him in the plot. I fear there are other incidents occurring in this maritime area at the moment. For Wang Zhanting to hand over the remaining 35% of shares and give away the Wang Group so obediently, there seems to be something unusual about it.

"Has the sun come out?" Hua Qingyi fluttered his eyelashes; his face, more beautiful than a woman's, was smeared with blood and dirt.

"Yes, but we're already near the brink of death. Don't expect me to plead for help from the old man. I told you this time is very dangerous, but you just wouldn't listen." Xiao Lin sat at the bow, the sea under the sunlight was beautiful, with waves shimmering gold.

"Ah, it seems I've been hurt pretty badly this time!" He said, struggling to sit up from Xiao Lin's lap. "But that woman is mine, don't touch my stuff!"

"Did you see her face clearly?"

"Yes, I traded this for it!" Hua Qingyi pointed at his belly. From the first moment she attacked from behind, he instinctively knew this woman's aim wasn't to kill him, and she wasn't Arthur either. Otherwise, her first target should have been the weakest among them. She approached him just to show Xiao Lin something. "Her movements are swift, and she knows some sorcery that can enchant people. How could I tell if the woman is beautiful without sacrificing a bit?" Even in peril, Hua Qingyi didn't forget to jest and laughed. "With a face that cute, how could someone strike so viciously? What kind of people are in the third layer of 'Black Crow'? All peculiar characters. But what baffles me is, the cabin is clearly sealed, how did she get in? Did she pass through walls? That's too far-fetched!"

"I've never found the captain's body, which can only mean we boarded a pirate ship from the start, or maybe they killed him halfway through. I believe the latter is more likely. Throwing the corpse into the sea during a stormy night, it's certainly not easy to recover it."

"How much time do we have?"

"Fifteen minutes! If fortunate, perhaps we can escape before the explosion. If we're unlucky to hit a reef, we might just..."

The situation was just like Xiao Lin suggested; the fishing boat had, by miracle, hit something hard and was moving uncontrollably forward, finally colliding with a hidden reef.

Arthur and Charles rushed to the bow, leaning over to look down, but saw no surprises. "It's the stern!" Xiao Lin pointed behind him; sitting on the deck, he could feel the tugging sensation from behind.

"Are you sure?" Arthur asked cautiously. The hull seemed balanced for now, perhaps the wound wasn't big.

"You can go see it if you don't believe me." Xiao Lin retorted playfully. Who dares to go? If it were true, the person would first kiss the seawater intimately.

"What now? The plane arrives in twenty minutes. We're doomed either way."

"Charles, go find some tools. You go and locate the bomb. Hopefully, it's in the stern."

"What about you?" Arthur spun his round eyes and suddenly pointed a gun at Xiao Lin. "No, you go find the bomb. I'll watch this guy. You better not pull any tricks, or your friend won't remain intact."

"Hey, my brother doesn't like it when someone points a gun at his head. You're screwed." Hua Qingyi made tut-tut sounds at Arthur.

"Shut up!" A clang; a bullet hit an iron rod, bouncing who knows where, showing he really would shoot. "I'm not negotiating with you guys. Hurry up and find the bomb. Charles, if you want to live, go get the tools."

Xiao Lin gestured at Arthur, said nothing, and jumped into the lower deck. The top deck couldn't hide any bombs; under stormy conditions, even the best waterproof bombs could get soaked.

The fishing boat essentially has two levels; the upper is for living quarters and the cockpit. The lower half is for storing the caught live fish, with the other half being the heart of the vessel, the best place for placing a bomb. Sadly, it's not at the stern. No need for Xiao Lin to search, he spotted the glaring detonator and the tick-tick sound immediately upon entering the control area. Placed so visibly, what's the intention!

After a loop, he returned to the bow; Charles had already found the toolbox, awaiting his report. "The bomb is beneath our rear; trying to use seawater to stop its explosion seems unlikely unless another hole is struck upfront, which would split the ship in two and sink both parts downward. You better hurry your people up."

"Aren't you special forces? Go dismantle the bomb." Arthur aimed the gun at Xiao Lin. "As of now, I'm the only one who can save you. You better understand the situation."

"I think I made myself clear earlier; if we could dismantle it within a second, there's a chance of waiting for the plane's arrival. But I don't want to risk it." Xiao Lin was certain Lucifer wasn't joking.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? What's the remote control range of the timed bomb?"

"Oh! That's indeed hard to say. Our adversaries are 'Black Crow'. As a friendly reminder, don't underestimate their warnings." Xiao Lin stuffed his hands into his pockets. "Also, don't point a gun at my head."

Just as he finished speaking, a scream erupted from Arthur; Xiao Lin yanked him off the ground, with Arthur's gun already in Hua Qingyi's hand. Several cracking sounds of bones echoed, Charles took a few steps back, avoiding Arthur's falling body, which rebounded a few times before landing at the middle of the fishing boat with a thud.

"The bomb will explode five minutes before the plane arrives. I'm going to see if there's a way to patch up the stern's damage and try to slow the sinking speed. Lock that mad dog up; I don't want him coming out to cause trouble again." Xiao Lin picked up the toolbox and descended again to the second deck.

Underfoot, seawater was gradually seeping in. Given the current flow speed, the situation wasn't promising.

"Boss, really not going to care about Young Master Hua? Hua Shao is on the ship too, and he's hurt. Hard to explain to Mr. Hua." Master Qin stood in an old stance behind Xiao Zhenfeng. Through the satellite positioning navigation system, they could precisely observe every move on the ship. "Letting 'Black Crow' act freely like this is dangerous; these people are ruthless killers."
