Chapter 122 I Believe
Shi Xia bewitched almost everyone in the village.
Many of the women who had been captured were given a chance by Shi Xia. Those who wanted to stay could drink some wine to get them drunk, while those who didn't want to stay could leave now. She gave each woman who left a ruby.
All the women chose to leave.
Shi Xia kept her word and gave everyone a ruby.
"Our Chinese ancestors said that possessing a treasure is a crime. I'm giving you a free life lesson: don't blindly trust the people around you."
"After you leave this village, the people around you will definitely try to steal your gems, and they will not hesitate to kill you to silence you."
"So... good luck to you all."
"Starting now, one person will leave every five minutes."
Shi Xia said that the translator and his fake daughter, Xiao Lan, his real partner, went to supervise.
After the woman left, all the fishermen from Huaxia came over, carrying the weapons they had "picked up."
Cao Ping was the leader among them.
During these five days, Shi Xia only gave him one task: to contact all the Chinese fishermen.
Cao Ping did a good job, and even got a little addicted to it.
It's true that every man dreams of becoming an official!
"Boss, we are here!"
Cao Ping arrived with a large group of fishermen who had eaten and drunk their fill in the past five days. They made no attempt to hide their fierce and valiant nature, and many of them glared hatefully at the person lying on the ground.
Shi Xia nodded and looked at the fishermen gathered together.
"You have five minutes. We'll leave in five minutes. I'll only say this once, so listen carefully."
"You are able to return to China safely today. You still have decades of life ahead of you. You need to think carefully about whether you can live for decades without caring about what you do today."
“I know you want revenge, and I won’t stop you. I’m just reminding you that revenge is a momentary impulse, and after that impulse comes decades of carrying this burden. Think it over carefully.”
"Five minutes for you."
Shi Xia led Cao Ping and the other six out of the village and gave them five minutes as she had instructed.
Five minutes later, everyone came out.
Shi Xia didn't even look back.
One hundred and thirty-seven fishermen, as instructed by Shi Xia, carried the weapons, food, and rubies they had brought from the village, and marched in a grand procession toward the location of Luoshan.
At the pre-arranged rendezvous point, the team's scouts saw over a hundred fully armed men approaching and almost thought they had been betrayed and that the enemy was coming with the village's firepower to encircle and annihilate them.
Just as he was about to go back to report the news, Shi Xia spotted him.
The man with the face painted couldn't believe it for a moment; had he really been that bad at hiding his face?
"Stop hiding it. Go back and tell your captain that I've brought everyone out, along with the weapons from the village, and the ruby I found along the way."
Following the principle of "picking up" (a metaphor for taking advantage of opportunities), Shi Xia led a group of people to Luoshan.
The squad leader and Battalion Commander Cheng quickly came forward to confirm the fishermen's identities; they had a list in their hands.
After confirming the details, the fishermen boarded the boat with the rest of the team and prepared to leave.
Several boats are moored here, including those from Hai San Dao.
Of course, there were other fishermen's boats as well, but the first few boats that were seized were either dismantled or sold.
The ships from Hai San Island were intact because it was too short a time; they hadn't even been sold yet, and Shi Xia had already taken over.
Shi Xia handed over the rubies to the other party, pointing to the boxes of rubies and saying, "I found them... Captain, please hand them over and mention my name."
The captain said meaningfully, "Don't worry, your name will be mentioned many times!"
"That's good. Just give me a model worker or advanced individual award or something. I'll obey the organization's arrangements!"
The captain chuckled, looked at the six boxes of rubies, and said nothing.
After the handover was completed, Shi Xia led the fishermen from Hai San Island onto their own fishing boats.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
The other fishermen turned to thank Shi Xia, some even kowtowing in gratitude.
Shi Xia stood at the bow of the boat, the bright red torchlight illuminating her face perfectly.
"We're all fellow fishermen, and once we're out at sea, we're brothers!" "If a brother is in trouble, I'll risk my life for him!"
Summer's passionate opening remarks were met with heartfelt gratitude from the fishermen.
What a good man!
What a good man!
Alone, he ventured deep into the lion's den to rescue them from their dire straits!
What a wonderful person!
Looking at the scene before him, the captain nudged Battalion Commander Cheng and asked, "If this were ancient times, he would be a king or a tyrant."
Battalion Commander Cheng chuckled.
"This isn't ancient times. Comrade Shi Xia is very law-abiding and honest; he always turns in anything he finds!"
"You think this is all there is?"
"Of course!"
I don't believe it, but Battalion Commander Cheng won't tell me.
Protect your own child.
"Hehehe."
The captain said no more. He didn't think Shi Xia had done anything wrong, but he felt that this person was too dangerous and difficult to control.
After Commander Cheng exchanged a few words of agreement, he boarded Shi Xia's fishing boat, and the other fishing boats left the shore.
Once on the ship, Shi Xia completely relaxed. She found her spot, lay down lazily, and had everything taken care of.
Not long after the boat set sail, they saw Wen Chengan and the others who had come to meet them.
However, Shi Xia was unaware that she had fallen asleep.
As dawn broke, the ship finally entered Chinese waters, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, we didn't encounter any patrol boats from other countries.
Otherwise, it'll just be another argument.
It was at this moment that Shi Xia saw Wen Cheng'an.
However, he was on a mission, so Shi Xia didn't disturb him. Sometimes you have to talk; if you do, you have to. Talking now would only make Wen Cheng'an seem unprofessional.
Their eyes met, and Wen Cheng'an silently uttered three words: I believe you.
Shi Xia's lips and eyes simultaneously blossomed with a smile: Of course!
The number of boats dwindled, and the fishing boats returned in different directions, but they all shared the same sentiment of thanking Shi Xia.
Shi Xia waved to them, and Wen Cheng'an and the other soldiers who had completed their mission also relaxed.
Once you relax, it's time for some lighthearted banter.
"Wen Cheng'an, how do you feel about having such a powerful partner?"
Wen Chengan gazed at her tenderly, his eyes filled with pride.
"My boyfriend, it's no use if you're envious."
"You little brat—you really have no shame!"
"If you two get married, who gets to decide?"
Wen Cheng'an replied without hesitation, "Of course, Shi Xia has the final say!"
"Hey—can't you be a little more assertive, you're such a disgrace to us men."
Wen Chengan didn't care about everyone's teasing at all.
"You don't understand, there are no winners or losers in love!"
Wen Cheng-an, who had just started spouting philosophical ideas, was stopped by his companions.
"Beat that shameless guy up!"
Shi Xia looked down at the commotion from the boat, the words of Wen Cheng'an echoing in her ears.
Is this kid... such a good actor?
It seems a bit... what's really going on?
Shi Xia never shied away from the issue, and since she had thought of this point, she continued to think about it more deeply.
If the fake boyfriend isn't Wen Cheng'an, can she accept it?
