Chapter 3519: The Longest Torment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The reason why the military was sure that Li Chuhai would definitely board the freighter was because they had caught an important suspect at the toll station.
From the Southern Province to the capital city and from the capital city to Jin City, Assistant Zhu never thought that he would be caught on the way. He never thought that the military would be investigating him, an old employee who had resigned from the company since Madam Li left the Southern Province.
The moment he was caught, Assistant Zhu’s expression changed. All his facial expressions disappeared in an instant. It was as if a colorful old photo had turned dark yellow. There was no longer any bright color.
His boss had once told him not to underestimate the military. The resources the military had were far more terrifying than one could imagine. ONe would never know how powerful the military was until one came into contact with them.
Looking at the soldiers standing in front of him, Assistant Zhu knew that everything had been in vain. If he hadn’t experienced it personally, he would never have known that the soldiers sent by the military were so powerful.
The moment he drove into the toll lane and reached out to take his card, the soldier disguised as a staff member attacked at lightning speed. His five fingers were like iron claws as he grabbed him tightly. In a flash, he actually pulled most of his body out of the car window. Now that he thought about it, he realized that his memory of that period was blank.
He couldn’t remember how he was pulled out of the car and how he fainted. He didn’t know what happened in those few seconds.
When he woke up, he was no longer at the toll station or in the car. He was in an empty room with white walls on all sides and facing two gun-wielding soldiers. There was nothing else.
He… had been caught.
What about his boss who had already gone out to sea?
What time was it now?
Had the freighter already sailed into the open sea?
Did the military send soldiers to chase after his boss?
How was his boss?
The back of his neck was hurting. Assistant Zhu thought anxiously. He wanted to know what was going on outside. He wanted to know if his boss had escaped. He wanted to know if the military had his boss’ whereabouts… He wanted to know everything.
Unfortunately, no one would tell him.
Knowing that he had nowhere to run, Assistant Zhu started the longest torture in the squarish room with shiny white walls.
The freighter that was leaving the port had already entered the dark night. The captain followed the route pointed out and sailed toward the high seas. The workers on the freighter who were doing their assignments had already stopped their work and entered the lowest cabin to rest. The deck where the containers were piled up had been exposed to the cold sea breeze for an hour. The corners were filled with icicles that smelled of seawater.
Ye Jian was already with her comrades. She still had the manuscript she drew at the last minute in her hand. Hiding in the gap of the container, she slowly slid her fingers across the manuscript and said in a low voice, “There are eight people guarding the ship. They’re all equipped with guns. If we kill them first, we might alert Li Chuhai and make him give up on boarding the ship.
“That’s why I suggest that we hide one person at each point. As long as Li Chuhai climbs aboard, we’ll kill him first before clearing the rest. Otherwise, they might rush to the bottom and kill the crew.”
Pigeon and the rest had a three-dimensional map of the entire cargo ship, but they didn’t know about Li Chuhai’s arrangements. Now that Ye Jian said this, everyone had an idea.
