nThe fleet sailed on the sea. Fu Xi and Gong Hao were on a speedboat specially prepared by the pirate leader. It could only accommodate three to five people and was simple to control. It was very suitable for the two of them.

n

nNow, there were only the two of them on the boat. The other pirates were steering their ships around to protect them. When they left the dangerous waters, the pirate leader would return with the pirate ship.

n

nFu Xi stood on the deck and looked at the departing ship. She couldn’t help but smile.

n

n“At least it smells like the King of the Sea.”

n

n“This isn’t a big deal.” Gong Hao steered the boat and stood beside her. “When we’ve dealt with all the trouble, I’ll let you see what a true King of the Sea looks like.”

n

nAt that time, a casual order would result in several large ships at his beckoning. These pirate ships did not even have the right to escort him.

n

nLooking at the lofty man beside her, Fu Xi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, leaning on his shoulder.

n

n“Okay, I’ll wait.”

n

nThe two of them fell silent.

n

nThe sound of the waves became the best melody between them.

n

n“Eh?” Gong Hao suddenly focused on a black dot on the distant sea with a frown.

n

n“There’s a boat there.”

n

nFu Xi looked in the direction he was looking at and her heart skipped a beat.

n

nIt was a lifeboat!

n

nHowever, when she saw the lifeboat drifting casually with the waves, her brows furrowed tightly.

n

nSomeone was killed?

n

nThe two of them immediately controlled the boat to approach the black dot.

n

nThey were close enough that the entire lifeboat was in front of them. The pale blue hull looked familiar no matter how they looked at it.

n

nFu Xi looked at Gong Hao and spoke coldly.

n

n“Ah Hao, this looks like a lifeboat from Gong Cheng’s team.”

n

nShe would be able to recognize him even if he was burned to ashes.

n

nGong Hao nodded solemnly.

n

n“Right.”

n

nThe two of them moved closer. When they saw who was on the lifeboat, their expressions darkened.

n

nIt was Gong Cheng.

n

nHe lay quietly on the lifeboat. His lips were dry and bleeding, and his face was haggard. His face was purplish red and had been sunburnt.

n

nThe lifeboat collided with the boat. He only shook his head slightly without any reaction.

n

nFu Xi snorted in disdain.

n

n“Retribution.”

n

nGong Cheng had tried to kill them repeatedly but had failed. Now, he was actually thrown into the lifeboat. If they did not discover him, he would probably die from dehydration and thirst in a while.

n

nWas it the pirate leader’s revenge?

n

nFu Xi couldn’t be bothered. Gong Hao looked at the semi-conscious Gong Cheng and squirmed with difficulty.

n

n“Xi’er.”

n

nFu Xi looked at him coldly. “You want to save him?”

n

n“Right.”

n

nGong Hao took a deep breath and analyzed calmly, “I’m related to him by blood after all. I can’t really watch him die in front of me.”

n

nEven if Gong Cheng was guilty, he should still be brought back to receive the punishment of the law. They did not want him to be sunburned, die of thirst, or be tortured to death here.

n

n“And I want to get more clues from him.”

n

nGong Hao looked at Fu Xi and said firmly.

n

n“Xi’er, I don’t believe that he would attack me for his own sake. There must be someone else behind him.”

n

nFu Xi didn’t speak and only rubbed her eyebrows.

n

nShe understood Gong Hao’s thoughts.

n

nHe could not accept that his former brother had become his enemy.

n

nThere were indeed a lot of suspicious points regarding Gong Cheng.

n

n“Then take him with you.” Fu Xi patted Gong Hao’s arm, her tone filled with affection and helplessness. “I had it coming, getting involved with a soft-hearted man like you?”

n

nGong Hao hugged her excitedly.

n

n“Xi’er, I knew you would support me.”
