Chapter 3517: Cold Heart
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Standing in the dark, he stared at the other side of the sea. His laughter was low, like a wild beast making a sound that made one’s heart tremble. He laughed for a while before gradually stopping.
It was too late. The sea seemed to have become flat ground. Only the sound of waves could be heard.
A long whistle sounded. At two o’clock in the middle of the night, the freighter left the port.
“Boss, there’s no problem. The freighter has left. You can set off on the speedboat.” Assistant Zhu stood beside Li Chuhai and ended the call with the people on the ship. He said respectfully, “They’ve already checked all the places and confirmed that it’s safe.”
Li Chuhai didn’t move. The cold wind blew for at least ten minutes before he returned to the car. After another half an hour, he said, “Contact them again.”
It was difficult to get off the freighter. He didn’t want to get off. He had to leave safely. It was better to be careful.
Assistant Zhu responded and contacted the freighter that had set off. The reply was the same. There was no problem.
Hence, Li Chuhai said calmly, “Set sail. There’s no need to be too fast.”
After confirming things again and again, Li Chuhai still didn’t lower his guard. It was precisely because of this cunningness that he broke out of the encirclement and arrived at Jin City. 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com
Assistant Zhu bowed and agreed. Then, he asked him, “When do you want me to send a letter to Old Master? Also, what do you think of Madam Li’s arrangements?”
“There’s no need to alarm Old Master. He knows everything. As for my sister, there’s no need for you to reply to her. I’ll send her a sum of money when we’re overseas. There’s no need to deal with the freezing of the company’s assets either. It’s already an empty shell. It’s not worth much money. The money frozen by the bank, heh, consider it as me compensating them for their hard work. They’ve been chasing me for so long. They must have invested a lot of police and military power. I’ll give them some money to comfort them.”
There was no concealment of contempt in his calm tone.
Assistant Zhu followed the arrangements without any objections. He dutifully arranged for his boss to board the speedboat. He only turned around and left when the speedboat was no longer in sight.
The freighter left the port. The supervisor in charge of security counted the cash that he had just received. He smiled until his small eyes became a straight line. This sum of money was really easy to earn. In the blink of an eye, he got 30,000 yuan!
“Let’s call it a day! Let’s go back and sleep!”
The foreman, who had finished his security work and received the cash, was in a good mood. He stomped his feet and shrunk his neck as he prepared to go home.
Just as he was about to return to his residence, a security officer ran over in a panic. “Foreman, Foreman, bad news! Someone died!”
“What?!” The smile on the foreman’s face changed when he heard that.
If Assistant Zhu had left five minutes later, he would have heard about this and immediately asked Li Chuhai, who had already boarded the speedboat, to return to the port.
Unfortunately, after watching the speedboat leave, he got into the car and left. He still needed to rush back to the capital city overnight. He couldn’t stay for long.
It was this coincidence that they missed the most important thing. It had to be said that it might be fate.
With Li Chuhai’s cautiousness, if he knew that someone had died at the port, he wouldn’t have boarded the freighter. He wouldn’t have confirmed who it was. He would have turned around and left without a word.
However, he had already left and was preparing to board the freighter at around 3:30 pm. That was when the crew fell asleep. No one would notice him boarding the freighter.
When Mr. Fu knew that Ye Jian’s comrades had successfully infiltrated the freighter, he waited until 12:30 pm before washing up and going to bed.
Now, they were just waiting for the news of Li Chuhai’s capture.
