Chapter 1795: Chapter 1796: Li Shengxiao Has Tracked Them Down

As soon as the person appeared, the men and women who had been arguing fiercely just moments before quickly separated, standing obediently like good students in front of the person.

"Boss."

"Boss, you’re here?"

The others asked confusedly, "Boss, now? Didn’t we agree to wait until the ship reaches the port tomorrow before we retreat? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

A man with lake green eyes and a scar on his left eye walked over in military boots, saying in a deep voice, "Li Shengxiao has caught up."

Meixi was startled, exclaiming, "That big shot from Hua Country?"

"Yes." The man said softly, "He’s not only connected to Hua Country, but he also knows the security forces stationed in the Kenya area. It would be very troublesome if he caught us doing business over there."

Meixi was silent for a while, then asked in puzzlement, "Isn’t he a businessman? How does he have such deep connections?"

They were involved with knife-edge activities, fearless of offending businessmen, but wary of being targeted by official agencies.

To them, being targeted by an official agency was like being pinned down at a crucial spot, very troublesome.

"We were deceived. The person who gave us the job didn’t tell us it was related to the Lin Family. I got intel; the other party has already tracked us and is chasing this way. By tomorrow, they’ll definitely block us at the British dock, and we must retreat overnight."

He turned his head and instructed the silent crowd, "Prepare yourselves. We leave at midnight."

After he left, the dozen or so people were like eggplants beaten by frost, withered.

The burly man was the first to break the silence, grumbling, "I don’t like paddling a kayak, the nearest island is a three-day paddle away..."

"The boss has already given orders, like it or not, you have to paddle. Hurry up and work; don’t leave all the work to me!" Meixi glared at him fiercely and went looking for the kayaks with annoyance.

The remaining dozen or so people resigned themselves to their chores, inflating the rafts, all too aware that this current job was a bust.

Not only did they not make much money, but with the way they were being relentlessly pursued, they would have to keep a low profile for a long time.

Meixi finished inflating one raft and, still angry, kicked it, erupting in complaint, "Damn! What kind of rich man would go to such lengths for his wife? Aren’t all men in the world ruthless and unreliable? I’d be thankful to God if he honestly paid the ransom, but he actually chased us down..."

Why hadn’t she ever met such a good man?

That little chick was just too lucky!

In the night, a dozen or so dinghies quietly disappeared into the vast, boundless sea...

Rong Yan didn’t sleep all night, chatting with a newly acquainted wealthy uncle.

The other party talked to her about his wife, children, and even shared stories of how he and his wife met when they were young.

In addition, Rong Yan found that the other person was very knowledgeable, having traveled to many places and having an interest in music and Chinese painting.

Time flew while chatting with such a person, and before she knew it, it was dawn.

Chu Aotian chatted with her for the whole night, and seeing her dark circles emerging, he said as soon as the morning light broke, "Young lady, thank you for chatting with me for so long. Are you tired? Why don’t you take a shower first? I’ll ask someone to find you a change of clothes. Let’s have breakfast, and then the ship will reach the dock. Here, take this."

Rong Yan took the phone he handed over, hesitated a moment, and looked at him, "This..."

Chu Aotian’s light brown eyes shone with gentle brilliance, "The signal at sea is unstable, but we’ve approached the dock, so if we’re lucky, you might be able to make a call. You can give it a try."
