“This kind of deadly move, could it really be?”

“Mu, you’re really impressive.”

“That’s the one!”

Jia Youcai gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

However, before this middle-aged arrest officer could raise his thumb,

Jason had already vanished from sight.

Jia Youcai was taken aback.

Then he quickly realized.

They hadn’t reached the dock yet and were stopped at the jetty by one of the ‘fly thief’ gang.

It indicates a major upheaval within the dock.

So much so that this group had to resort to pretending to be ‘fly thieves’ as a strategy.

The goal was to lure away the guards on the dock, leaving its defenses thin.

Realizing this, Jia Youcai dared not delay and shouted loudly–

“Quickly cross the jetty!”

“Enter the dock!”

“Be careful, everyone!”

“Yes, Chief Jia!”

The guards and patrolmen responded one by one.

Although Jia Youcai wasn’t usually impressive, the recent scene had indeed earned their respect, and now they addressed him as ‘Chief Jia’ with a touch of reverence.

Meanwhile, Jia Youcai hesitated.

Should I go in with them?

If I don’t go in, I’ll surely be seen as a deserter.

But if I go in, it will certainly be more dangerous than outside.

It’s a do-or-die situation!

This job is truly perilous!

If I survive this, I’ll definitely resign and take good care of my mother at home!

Thinking of this, Jia Youcai moved his feet and stepped onto the jetty.

…

Inside the dock, groups of people dressed in black were split into two teams.

One group was escorting some bound women forward.

The other group, paired in twos, was carrying crates forward.

“Faster! Faster!”

“Everyone move quickly!”

A man who looked like a steward shouted loudly, his whip in hand constantly striking at the women who walked too slowly.

Of course, he didn’t actually hit them; these were valuable cargo, and he didn’t dare do so. He only whipped the ground to scare them, as usual.

But this time was different.

One of the girls, dressed in a student uniform, seemed frightened and fell to the ground.

The one next to her also seemed startled and began to cry.

These people were all tied together in a line, so when two of them stopped, everyone stopped.

“Get up!”

“Keep moving!”

Yelling rang in their ears, but Li Yuanyuan and Zhao Shuhua remained unmoved.

They heard the shouts of battle in the distance.

The two knew this was their final chance.

If they obediently boarded the ship, hell awaited them. Only by buying time for the soldiers to arrive could they be saved, so they almost acted simultaneously.

The steward’s threats were ineffective.

He didn’t dare to hit them, so he went to consult the head man.

A man with a vicious face and fierce eyes.

“Second Master?”

The steward bent in consultation.

“Old Wang, who relies on his Innate Divine Strength, never suffered much hard work, and hasn’t even trained enough to develop ‘muscle mastery.’ If he can hold on for this long, it’s those useless soldiers’ problem; the commander fears death. Now someone stands up, but Old Wang can’t last much longer.”

The man spoke sinisterly.

“Yes, that’s what Second Master says.”

“So?”

The steward obediently replied before speaking up again.

“Kill them.”

“They’re just unexpected spoils anyway.”

“Might as well discard them.”

The man called Second Master said this as he walked towards the two school girls.

“You’ve got guts and some smarts, truly fitting of someone schooled.”

“But… you two are out of luck.”

The man spoke as he raised his palm, looking at the two pale-faced students, speaking slowly from above: “In honor of your courage, I’ll let you die understanding! Remember…”

“The man who killed you is Chen Yin.”
