Chapter 1178 - 1181: That Bastard, Courting Death! (Part 2)
Chapter 1178: Chapter 1181: That Bastard, Courting Death! (Part 2)
Dou Hu could clearly feel the homicidal intent emanating from the female detective.
But he didn’t know why the female detective suddenly had such a significant change.
After all, previously, there wasn’t such strong homicidal intent.
Or rather, there wasn’t much homicidal intent at all.
How did it suddenly become so intense?
The intensity of it made him feel that he could die at any moment.
However, now he didn’t dare to speak up or ask any questions.
He could only take a gamble, betting that at this moment, this group wouldn’t kill him.
As for finding that girl afterwards, that’s uncertain.
Or he felt, there’s a more than ninety percent chance that he would be killed.
But at that time, there would be an opportunity.
He could escape while both sides were engaged in a fight and no one noticed him.
Once he escaped, he swore in his heart never to step foot in Chuzhou City again.
He might even flee abroad directly, back to those chaotic regions from years ago.
With his skills, even in the chaos, he could live relatively comfortably.
Of course, compared to the current living environment, it couldn’t compare.
But, this was also the only option left.
He could only blame the stupid fools of the You family for provoking enemies they could never match.
About half an hour later, the car reached the outskirts.
Moreover, it was near the coast.
At this time, Lin Xi stopped the car, letting Zhou Yan drive, but he didn’t get in the car.
And in an instant, his figure disappeared into the night.
Of course, they weren’t at the place the person on the phone mentioned.
No one in the car found it surprising.
Zhou Yan continued driving toward the destination.
After about five minutes of driving, they reached a small harbor.
This wasn’t the large harbor where Tong Zhan’s yacht was docked, more like a small harbor for fishing boats.
After all, there were quite a number of old fishing boats docked there.
Among them, there was a ship that didn’t look old or new, but was about twice the size of the other fishing boats, with what seemed like three levels.
Under the ship stood eight people.
If Lin Xi were here, he could sense their formidable strength.
Seven top special forces soldiers and one advanced soldier king.
The advanced soldier king had a scruffy beard and a shaved head.
On the bald head was a menacing scar.
Age-wise, he was around sixty.
Zhou Yan parked the car ten meters away from them, but they didn’t get out, waiting for Lin Xi’s signal.
Once Lin Xi found Xixi, that would be their cue to get out of the car.
Of course, to prevent the others from using firearms, they wouldn’t face them directly.
In the car, though Dou Hu’s face still showed fear, and he seemed badly injured, it looked like any movement was hard for him.
Additionally, Zhou Yan, Xi Xiaoyi, and the great bear’s gazes weren’t on him at this moment.
"A good opportunity!" he thought to himself.
In fact, his injuries and the fear on his face were all an act.
Just to make the two women and the bear lower their guard.
At that moment, once both sides got into a fight, that would be his time to escape.
Among the eight standing below the ship, the advanced soldier king leading them showed confusion.
This was the car Dou Hu had just mentioned.
But why hasn’t anyone gotten out?
As far as any accidents occurring?
He wasn’t concerned.
As long as they weren’t police.
And, it definitely wasn’t a police ambush.
Because he’d already placed some lookouts in the distance to see if anyone else was tailing them or anything.
If there was, he’d leave without hesitation.
Now, since there wasn’t, no matter who was in the car, he was confident in overpowering them with his strength.
After all, he was an advanced soldier king.
Another point was that their ship intentionally carried some extremely powerful firearms.
"Dou Hu, what tricks are you trying to pull?" he shouted, "If you don’t come down, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Having said that, he secretly told one of his men to go and get armed from the ship.
As for why he didn’t do so earlier.
Firstly, he was very confident in his side’s strength.
Secondly, he had some level of trust in the You family; after all, they had been trading for several years.
They knew each other well before.
There’s absolutely no issue of betraying each other.
Moreover, the You family not only lacked the strength but also the courage.
In the car, Zhou Yan glanced at the barely conscious, injured-looking Dou Hu, a trace of hesitation flashed across her face.
If they didn’t stall those eight, it could affect Lin Xi’s search.
"Get out and delay them as much as you can!" she snorted at Dou Hu.
She also secretly felt relieved that Lin Xi hadn’t hit his head, so he didn’t look visibly injured now.
Only his aura was weak.
But a weak aura could be explained.
Dou Hu showed hesitation, "In this state, they’ll see through me!"
"Or, let’s wait a bit!"
Zhou Yan felt a bit impatient; she’d already seen one of the eight heading back to the ship.
She had a bad premonition.
"Get down, I don’t want to repeat myself. Otherwise, I’ll have the giant bear slap you to settle it!" she snorted coldly, "And don’t think about escaping!"
"If you try to escape, I can guarantee you’ll be the first one to die!"
Fear and helplessness appeared on Dou Hu’s face, and he got out of the car, trembling.
However, his heart was rejoicing, contrary to his outward appearance.
Once out of the car, his chances of slipping away increased.
In the ensuing chaos, no one would notice him.
That would be his moment to escape.
Now, he just needed to provoke Hao Tianlu and his men into acting first.
Only if they acted first would he have a better chance.
For some reason, even more than the giant bear, the young man who had vanished into the night terrified him.
So he aimed to escape before that young man reappeared.
Once out of the car, the air of frailty disappeared from his face, but compared to his prime, he was slightly lacking.
"Brother Hao, I don’t have the guts to pull any tricks!" he laughed, "It’s just that on the road, we drove so fast I got a bit carsick!"
"Carsick?" Hao Tianlu, the advanced soldier king.
He couldn’t help but snicker, thinking, "You must be joking, you’re already an intermediate soldier king, and you still get carsick?"
"Ridiculous!"
However, he didn’t say it aloud.
Instead, he noted that Dou Hu’s complexion was different from usual, almost hinting at something.
The next moment, as something dawned on him, he chuckled, "Then you should have a good rest, here’s the plan!"
"We’re here to get the ’goods’!"
As soon as he finished, without waiting for Dou Hu’s reply, he moved forward with his six subordinates.
In the car, seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately realized something, subconsciously cursing, "That bastard, courting death!"
