"Alright, at this point, what’s there to be shy about?"
The eldest among the girls stomped her foot and twisted her body, heading towards the lower bunk where Li Feng was hiding. "You, get up. We need to talk."
Li Feng sat up swiftly like a fish jumping, then turned and leaned against the container wall behind him. "I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Zhao Chaotian, and you?"
"Ye Zishan."
"Hmm, that’s a nice na. How about you two?" Li Feng looked at the twin sisters who had followed.
"Beicheng Bing."
"Beicheng Xue."
"Beicheng, that’s a rare surna, isn’t it?"
The Beicheng sisters were very wary of Li Feng and only humd in response when he ntioned their surna.
Ye Zishan took a deep breath and looked at the adult Li Feng. "Now that you’re awake, let’s talk."
Li Feng watched Ye Zishan trying to appear calm and mature, then gave a slight smile. "Talking about how to escape?"
Ye Zishan bit her lip, her eyes fixed on Li Feng. "Even if you heard our conversation, what would it matter? Those people outside, even if they know we’re thinking of escaping, they wouldn’t do anything to us. Stop using that as a threat."
"If you think you can coerce us into doing sothing against our will with that, then you’re terribly mistaken."
"That’s right. Don’t expect to intimidate us. We won’t submit to your vile threats."
Beicheng Xue clenched her fists, the corners of her mouth upturned, her face resolute against tyranny.
"Although I don’t know why you were locked up, you must be with those people outside. You should know we are ant to be sent to those important figures. If you dare touch us, you should be clear about the consequences."
Ye Zishan said this with a hint of threat, although she was unsure if the threat was effective at all.
"Are you done?"
Li Feng looked at the girls and sighed. "I can tell you a secret. Actually, I’m an undercover."
"Huh?"
"You are...?"
"Shh." Li Feng raised a finger to his lips.
"You’re an undercover?" Ye Zishan, the Beicheng sisters, and another girl, Tian ngng, stared at Li Feng with wide eyes, lowering their voices in disbelief.
Li Feng shrugged. "I know you still have doubts. But I’ll only ntion this identity once, and I won’t admit it afterward."
"I believe."
Ye Zishan bit her lip, Tian ngng and Beicheng Bing turned their heads towards her. "Zishan, you?"
"Do we have a choice?"
"Believing him, we might still have hope. Otherwise, we won’t have even a little hope. Besides, if his identity is real, he couldn’t possibly harm us."
Li Feng looked at Ye Zishan, the girl was quite smart, and even knew how to challenge him with her words. "I won’t do anything to you guys, you can be assured of that."
"Plus, I’ll get you all out of here."
"Really?"
Beicheng Xue’s eyes widened as she looked at Li Feng, who nodded. "I promise, I will get you all out."
"However, before that, we might have to stay in this container for a few more days. Just take it easy, and we’ll leave when the ti cos."
Li Feng had said a lot to make the young girl feel at ease, since they hadn’t slept well at all the previous night, silenced like grasshoppers in cold.
"Are we waiting for the police to capture the bad guys all at once?"
"Yes."
Li Feng humd in agreent.
"Sis, we’re saved. We can go ho now."
Beicheng Xue turned and hugged Beicheng Bing, her tears streaming down, clearly terrified from the past few days.
anwhile, a commotion started outside the container, especially when sothing suddenly latched onto the top with a loud ’clang’, and the container began to rock.
Standing by the bed, Ye Zishan, caught off guard, lost her balance. The double-decker bed was not wide, just the type available in college dorms, and she ended up falling straight into Li Feng’s arms.
"Ah!"
Ye Zishan, unable to stand steadily, fell into Li Feng’s arms, and imdiately cried out in shock.
Sss!
Li Feng took a deep breath, looking at Ye Zishan’s guarded deanor. He was really the one at a disadvantage here.
"What’s going on?"
Tian ngng, once the shaking had settled, clutched the bed fra and asked.
"We must have been loaded onto a container truck. They’re moving us," Li Feng said.
"Ah? Where are they taking us?"
"A small island."
"Don’t you say the police will rescue us?"
"They will, but not just yet."
Everything proceeded just as Li Feng had guessed. The containers were loaded onto the container trucks inside the warehouse, then the trucks headed straight to the docks where the containers, with altered numbers, were directly transferred onto a cargo ship.
After the cargo was loaded, the ship left the port, and everything went smoothly.
Then, half a day passed.
"Master Yu, the cargo has reached the Public Sea, smooth sailing."
Kang Yu, relieved upon hearing this, responded, "Good. It seems that they might have noticed sothing over there but probably don’t know much yet."
"What about Zhao Xiaoxiao?"
"Master Yu, there’s no issue at Zhao Xiaoxiao’s end either. So contraband was found in the box, but Zhao Xiaoxiao is calculating. They couldn’t get anything out of her. She’ll be released after forty-eight hours."
"Have they found out who was responsible?"
"Yes, it was a dealer nad Alligator, apparently soone under Uncle’s control."
"Our boss’s man?"
Kang Yu narrowed his eyes, Bai Lang continued, "Yes, I have people who know him. Master Yu, should we investigate further?"
"Heh, our boss’s man coming into my venue to sell stuff without even a hint to ? No need to investigate further. I’ll ask my brother about it myself."
"Bai Lang, prepare the tickets. We leave tomorrow."
"Yes, Master Yu."
The cargo ship entered the Public Sea and sailed a bit further, deviating slightly from its course. The surrounding vessels beca fewer until a smaller cargo ship appeared close to the left side of the container ship.
"Get close to it."
The two ships slowly drew together, and quickly, a team ard with weapons climbed aboard the cargo ship using a rope ladder.
