Chapter 499: Definitely Not Mistaken
This feeling reminded her instantly of being thrown into the sea in her previous life.
It also aroused the anger deep in her heart.
If she was lucky this time and made her comeback, she would definitely catch the bastard who attacked her with a concealed weapon, and chop his corpse into thousands of pieces!
Liu Yusheng closed her eyes and calmed her thoughts. She dove deeper under the water, as far away from the surface as possible.
She surfaced for air with minimal movement.
She was injured on the shoulder, and there were still people on the shore searching for her. In the water, she couldn’t gather her energy to escape again through qinggong, so she could only soak in the water and escape covertly.
There were still boats sailing on the canal in the middle of the night. The fishing torches on the boat reflected the sparkling water surface, and the men in black patrolled the shore for a long time, but nobody surfaced.
In the water, some people also dove to catch her, but in the end they found nothing.
The fight on Feng Qingbai’s side was coming to an end.
Except for the cloaked man, everyone else was dead.
The two men in the fight were also injured to varying degrees.
The cloaked man was more seriously injured.
Feng Qingbai’s sword hand has begun to shake. His sword was very light and thin, but at this time it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hand.
His breathing reached his ears, rapid and heavy, exhausted.
Swoosh — BOOM!
Blue fireworks bloomed in the distant sky.
”Your Highness, let’s compete the next time we meet.” After the farewell, the cloaked man suddenly drew away.
Disinclined to continue fighting.
Feng Qingbai’s heart sank, and he gave chase in the direction of the fireworks.
After reaching the place, he found nobody around. In front of him, only the sparkling river water reflected the moon and the stars.
Feng Qingbai’s heart felt so cold that it froze.
A few miles away from his position, men in black gathered.
The man in the cloak stood in front of the other black-clad men. “Where’s she?”
”Pavilion Master, Liu Yusheng fell into the river.”
”Fell into the river?”
”Before she fell into the river, a subordinate’s concealed weapon injured her. Even if she managed to escape, she should not be able to escape far, but we can search along the river!”
The temperature all around plummeted, making people shiver.
”Did I not tell you that you’re forbidden to hurt her?” The man’s tone rang flat. He was obviously not emotionally affected, but the sound kindled immense fear deep in their hearts.
”Pavilion Master…”
”Ka-Cha!” The black-clad man who had just reported that Liu Yusheng had been hit with a concealed weapon was grabbed by one hand, and his head was completely smashed.
When the hand holding him let go, his body collapsed bonelessly and ceased breathing.
”Anyone who violates orders will die here.”
”These subordinates dare not!” The men in black replied in unison.
”Disperse everyone. Intercept passing ships, and conduct strict searches.”
”Understood!”
Purple fireworks appeared in the sky again, bursting three times in a row.
The cloaked man raised his head and quietly watched the purple fireworks fall dazzingly before his eyes. He said in an indifferent tone, “Be sure to get ahead of the King of Nanling.”
Wei Zi and the other guards rushed toward the canal: “Your Highness!”
”Search along the river, intercept passing boats at the two docks inside and outside the city. Don’t let anything suspicious slide!”
”Understood!”
”Notify the government, immediately bring officers and soldiers to search the entire forest slope. However, those who are injured will receive treatment first before reporting!”
”Understood!”
Wei Zi and others took orders and dispersed immediately.
Feng Qingbai looked at the dark river in the darkness, and the violence in his eyes raged, rolling over and over.
Anyone who touched his bottom line, die!
A ship was sailing in the canal, with a dim yellow windproof lamp hanging from the bow.
The halo shrouded around the lamp, only illuminating a not-so-distant space around it.
But this wasn’t a problem for sailors who were experienced and familiar with this channel.
The ship sailed stably in the torrential river water.
”Second Master, look, there seems to be someone over there!” the old sailor on the bow exclaimed, suddenly pointing to a place in the river.
In the cabin at the back, someone followed the direction he pointed, and found that there was indeed a figure floating up and down in the river. It was at the farthest range that the light could illuminate.
”Bring that person up,” the man replied lightly. After instructing the old sailor, he continued to read the ledger while leaning in the cabin.
They approached the person in the water. The old sailor called the crew, and with some effort, they fished the person up.
With a gentle splash, the deck of the cargo ship was soaked with river water at once.
”She’s a girl, and she looks quite young. I’m afraid she’s around seventeen or eighteen years old. How did such a young lady fall into the river in the middle of the night?” The old sailor asked suspiciously.
”There seems to be a wound on her shoulder!” A young crew discovered the red bloodstains that were overflowing from the woman’s shoulder.
”Is she injured?” When the man in the cabin heard it, he closed the ledger and walked out, looking at the unconscious woman on the deck. “Throw her down, lest we get into trouble.”
With an injury on the shoulder, the injury must be man-made.
This woman was hunted down into the river.
The most taboo amongst businessmen was to get involved in such disputes. A careless move might lead to fatal disasters for themselves.
”Second master, do you really want to throw her down?” The old sailor took pity on her. Such a young girl was already in a coma, and if she was thrown again, she would die.
”Can’t you understand me?”
The boss spoke, so the crew had no choice but to obey.
The old sailor sighed. He called the crew to help, and hoisted the woman up to throw her back into the river.
The woman was lying on her side before, and her face, which was hidden by her wet hair, was exposed to the light with a tilt of her head.
”Wait!” The man suddenly ordered them to stop. The indifference faded from his voice, and a hint of excitement replaced it.
The crew members stared speechlessly at each other, wondering why their master kept on changing his mind.
Just a moment ago, he even ordered them to dump the girl away. Why did he suddenly change tunes?
And on a closer look at the Second Master’s expression, his excitement made it look like he had finally met someone after a century. Could it be… Did he know her?
The man’s hands trembled slightly as he pushed away the wet strands of hair that were still sticking to the woman’s cheek, revealing her entire face.
Willow eyebrows, upturned nose, and naturally upturned corners of the mouth.
And those eyes, even if they were tightly closed at the moment, he could imagine how playful and agile the girl would be once she opened them.
Even if eight years have passed, and that face was different from what he remembered, he would never mistake someone else for her.
”Let the ship’s doctor come over this instant!” the man ordered. He personally stepped forward to pick up the girl and brought her into the cabin.
The cabin was not luxurious, but everything was available.
There were low tables, cushions, and a long bed. The bedding on the bed was complete.
He placed the girl on the bed and wrapped her tightly with a quilt.
The river water was still cold in the late spring night.
He didn’t know how long she had been soaking in the river water, but her whole little face was so pale that it made people feel distressed. When he carried her in just now, all he felt was cold and damp.
There was no female crew member on the ship, and her clothes were soaking wet, but he couldn’t change her clothes. He could only wrap her in a quilt to keep her warm for a while.
The doctor, accompanying them on the ship, came quickly. After diagnosing her pulse, he prescribed two pills. For the convenience of the crew, the doctor brought condensed pills, which were much more convenient than boiling traditional medicine.
After feeding her the medicine, the man instructed the old sailor, “Speed up the ship, the faster the better! In addition, instruct all the crew members to be tight-lipped about this matter. If they are questioned, they know nothing!”
”Yes, Second Master!”
After the people left, the man returned to his senses and walked to the long bed and squatted down, staring at the unconscious girl.
He didn’t know what happened to her, or what caused her to fall into the river, injured. But no matter who she offended, even if it would cost him everything, he would definitely protect her.
