"Probably in another two or three days, we'll be there."
"Oh, two or three days..."
We should prepare ahead, and inform Li Yunchang and the Captain in advance.
After all, all of Xiaofan's identity docunts were left in Huaxia; when he went to Japan, he used forged docunts, which were all kept by Li San and the others at that ti.
Now, to land in M Country, he must coordinate with Li Yunchang and the Captain while hiding himself in the cargo box.
"Xiaofan... this ti, I owe you. First, you broke the pirates' attack, and then you saved my wife. I don't know how to thank you. If you want anything, just tell ."
"Hmm? Is Mr. Li not treating as a friend?" Xiaofan smiled slightly.
"No, absolutely not." Li Yunchang hastily corrected.
"Actually, there's nothing to thank. I'm on this ship too, so no matter what, I had to step in," Xiaofan said, and he wasn't wrong.
"That's different. You know, this ti I'm the host, and many of the businessn on this ship are my friends and partners. If sothing happened to them, how would I, Li, explain it? How could I stand firm? Even in death, it'd be a lifeti's disgrace. And my wife, as you saw, when I was young, I owed her too much. I wish to take her around while we're not too old to walk, to see the world. If anything happened to her, I'd regret it forever. So, your appearance is very significant to ."
"No, Mr. Li, you're mistaken."
"Hmm?"
"Good causes yield good results. As Buddhism says, everything has a cycle of cause and effect. If you and this ship hadn't passed near that island, I, Ye Xiaofan, wouldn't have been saved. Even if you had, if you hadn't rescued , things would have been different. You rescued , providing a chance, brought here, and then I could save you. One cause leads to one effect. It's inevitable. Also, I appreciate your gratitude, but I admire your character, Mr. Li. Though there's a huge age gap, I consider you a friend, so..."
"Oh dear..."
After Xiaofan's words, Li Yunchang greatly benefitted, nodding repeatedly.
"I, Li, have been too vulgar. Xiaofan, you're right, becoming friends with you is indeed my luck."
"Ah... making friends should always be straightforward, but please forgive my rudeness. There are so things I can't openly discuss with Mr. Li, I hope you understand."
"I understand, I understand. Xiaofan, let give you a lighter..."
"Hmm?" A lighter? Another lighter?
Back at the casino in XG, Li Yunchang had already given him one, and now another...
"This acts as a token of friendship. In the future, wherever you are, if a friend or soone around carries this lighter to find , as long as it's within my ability, I, Li, will wholeheartedly assist you."
Indeed, it's the sa as before. However, that lighter was a promise to help once, and this one promises unlimited support.
If soone else said this, Xiaofan might internally scoff. But Li Yunchang is a straightforward person; once he promises, he fulfills it. As a mber of the Li Family, one of the Four Great Families, with assets rivaling the Ren Family, his capabilities are evident.
"Did Mr. Li misunderstand?" Xiaofan chuckled.
"Oh?"
"I'm not a fugitive, nor did I commit heinous acts. Being trapped on that island with my wife wasn't due to escaping."
"That's... indeed, Li Yunchang had misunderstood. He thought Xiaofan had secrets because he engaged in illegal activities, given his youth, remarkable personal abilities, and his and his wife's ability to kill without flinching, which naturally led to the suspicion of professional assassin training."
And this misunderstanding made Xiaofan respect Li Yunchang even more; willing to make friends despite thinking he's an assassin shows his distinctive character and fearlessness of getting embroiled in troubles. It also reveals his strong presence in the Capital City.
"If it truly is my misunderstanding, then I'll apologize with a drink."
"Ah, it's human nature, no need for apology."
"But you must accept this lighter," Li Yunchang insisted.
"Does Mr. Li usually thank friends by giving lighters?" Xiaofan continued to smile.
"Hmm? Not really. Early last year, I visited XG and gave a lighter to a young man around your age. Including this, only two tis."
He indeed rembered the lighter matter, keeping his word...
Xiaofan picked up the lighter and examined the gem on it, similar to the first one and surely not cheap.
"Then I'll accept it. I don't have anything on to give you in return, but if fate allows, we'll et again."
"Hmm? Are you planning to go sowhere? Don't worry, I'll arrange your docunts. I'm quite familiar with M Country's Consul, so I can quickly help you get a passport to return ho." Li Yunchang asked softly.
"I know, but I need to trouble you, Mr. Li, for sothing. Upon landing, there's an errand I must do..."
"Hmm? What is it? Speak freely..."
After landing, he needs to hide in a wooden box, although he doesn't know Xiaofan's purpose, but given his strength, daring such adventure speaks of high skill and bravery.
Actually, arranging identity docunts isn't essential; once the ship unloads the cargo and stays in M Country for a few days, Xiaofan can embark again for the return journey.
However, to return ho faster, a flight is the quickest, hence a visit to the Consulate is necessary.
Yet Xiaofan is completely unaware that the Assassination Order has resurged, and among its targets is Mr. Consul.
anwhile, Shen Zuimo, already on a flight to M Country, receives an order to protect Mr. Consul...
The existence of the Assassination Order has a profound impact on the world. Moreover, Lingze oversees it, having already added Li San and Han Shengjun's nas to the target list.
Apparently, Xiaofan won't have a chance to catch his breath.
