Just when I was puzzled, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
I gasped, "Who is it?"
But there was no response from the door.
"Holy shit!" I suddenly realized something was wrong and hurried over to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door a crack, a dark figure flashed in without giving me a chance to confirm my identity.
"Boom", the door was closed by him.
"You--" Only then did I see his face clearly, a wet face, pale and cold.
"It's me." Xu Miaofeng said weakly.
"You're crazy!" I was shocked. No matter what, I never expected that she would come to me and be in my room.
"If I'm discovered, I'll be exposed!" I shouted in a low voice.
Xu Miaofeng glanced at me and said, "I have no choice but to come to you."
Now was not the time to pursue this, so I quickly asked: "What happened, why did you suddenly commit suicide, and why did you run away?"
Xu Miaofeng snorted coldly: "If I don't escape, am I waiting to go to jail?"
"The matter is not as serious as you said. Lao Wang and the others had no evidence. Once you escaped, it became clear that there was something wrong with you."
Unexpectedly, Xu Miaofeng sneered, "Li Rui, you are still too naive."
I wondered: "What do you mean?"
"Remember what I told you? The real trouble has just begun!" Xu Miaofeng said coldly.
"Real trouble?" I looked into her eyes, full of confusion, "It's already this time, what else are you hiding from me?"
Xu Miaofeng's pale face was obviously caused by injuries. In addition, after staying in the rain for so long, she lost a lot of blood. Although I was anxious and angry that she hid it from me, I still couldn't bear it, so I took a towel and handed it to her, "Wipe it off."
Xu Miaofeng took the towel and smiled heartlessly, "Li Rui, I cheated you, why do you still pity me?"
"I don't pity you, but because we are grasshoppers on the same boat now!" I said harshly.
"You are right, we are indeed grasshoppers on the same boat!" Xu Miaofeng said, "You must want to know now why I did this."
"Nonsense, of course I want to know!" I said impatiently.
"I didn't betray you, nor did I renege on the previous deal. Alas," Xu Miaofeng sighed, "I did this entirely out of self-protection."
"Self-protection?" This reason was beyond my expectation. "What do you mean, who wants to harm you?"
Xu Miaofeng smiled and said, "It seems you are not stupid." After a pause, she said: "Your plan seems to be seamless, but you made a fatal mistake, that is, you simply thought that no one other than me knew the truth. Those who knew it are all dead, but in fact, there is still one person who knew about it!"
"What?" I widened my eyes and asked, "Who else? Lao Qi? No, not Lao Qi, that boss? Not too? Who is it?"
Xu Miaofeng said calmly: "Do you still remember what the Ghost Taoist said before he died?"
"Ghost Taoist, before you die?" Something hit me in my head, and I immediately took a step back. "Damn it, why did I forget this? He said that Slender Monkey came out to do it alone this time. , could he have an accomplice?"
"Yes, Shouhou also has a partner, who is the real mastermind of our 'Guo Zi'. His surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Jiao. He was the first to negotiate the business of the Undersea Tomb with Lao Qi and the others."
When I heard this, I felt desperate. I slapped my forehead, feeling annoyed, "Then why are you saying it now? If you told me in the beginning, wouldn't there be so many things?"
"If I told you from the beginning, would I still be of value?" Xu Miaofeng said coldly, "I am not only worthless to you, but also worthless to Wang Jiao, because if I don't stay on the island, I will definitely If I am caught by him, you can imagine what will be waiting for me when the time comes, without me telling you."
I closed my eyes and said, "So, you have planned it a long time ago, right? You deliberately agreed to cooperate with me just to avoid Wang Jiao's pursuit. If everything goes well, you can even wash away all suspicions, openly." leave."
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought at the beginning, and doing so is the best of both worlds for both of us. I have fulfilled your needs and kept your secrets, and you have also indirectly helped me. If I’m immune to being hunted, why wouldn’t I do it?”
I stared at her angrily, "Then why did you suddenly go back on your word? Isn't this all what you wanted?"
"Do you think that Wang's refusal to let me go was just because of suspicion?" Xu Miaofeng suddenly said.
I thumped, fear welling up in my mind, "What, what do you mean?"
"His surname is Wang, Shouhou's partner is also surnamed Wang!"
I hesitated for a while. Although I had a very bad premonition, I still replied: "Well, what does this mean? There are many people named Wang in the world!"
Xu Miaofeng still looked at everything coldly, "His name is Wang Long. He was born as a fisherman and retired from the Navy. His home is in the fishing village where you took the boat to Snake Island. He also has a younger brother. Both brothers are very good at water. Known as the 'Two Dragons in the Blue Sea', people from all over the country know these two brothers."
"Two dragons in the blue sea?" I was stunned for a moment, and the bad premonition was already confirmed.
At this time, I heard a voice not far away, "You guys, take charge over there, while the others search with me one by one!"
It seems that the people searching the base have arrived. There are only a few rooms here, and they will be found here soon. If Xu Miaofeng is found in my room, I may not be able to explain it clearly even if I have ten mouths.
"You came here on purpose, right?" I asked.
Xu Miaofeng snorted: "Li Rui, no matter what you think, there is only one choice before you now."
"What choice?"
"Run with me."
"Really? Why can't I hand you over?"
"Hand it over, the secret you tried so hard to keep, but just..."
"Stop doing this, who knows how much you've said?"
"Then it depends on how much trust there is between us."
The footsteps outside the door are getting closer and closer, and my heart is already in my throat.
If what Xu Miaofeng said is true, then I probably understand her motive for escaping from prison. Initially, she agreed to cooperate with me and ostensibly cooperated with temporarily detaining Shedao for trial, but in fact she wanted to avoid Wang Jiao's pursuit. But she didn't expect that the militia captain on Snake Island would be Wang Jiao's brother Wang Long. She had a premonition that if she continued to sit back and wait for death, she would completely become a thorn in Wang Jiao's brother's side, so she chose to take the risk and commit suicide. Confuse the guards and look for opportunities to escape.
She knew very well that it was impossible to escape from Snake Island by herself, and the only one who could help her was me. And in her hand, she was holding a trump card that I couldn't refuse - the secret of the undersea tomb. Once I refuse to help her, she will reveal the secret to Wang Long, which will be a result that I don't want to see anyway.
I thought about it briefly and realized that I had no choice. "You should know that we are on an isolated island and it is difficult for both of us to fly!"
"Then it depends on how you deal with it. Since you have the ability to make everyone on the island believe in you, you should have a way to get rid of these pursuers."
"you--"
At this moment, two "dong dong" knocks came from the door.
I looked at the door as if facing an enemy.
"Shh!" I made a silencing gesture.
"Who is it?" Then, I slowly walked towards the door.
"Hello, we are staff of the base. A suspect has escaped from the base. We are searching for him. Please open the door and cooperate with us to check!"
"Oh, that's it." I opened the door, and Xu Miaofeng hid behind the door.
"Hello, you want to check it out, right? Then, please..." I made a sign to come in.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw wet marks remaining on the door handle. At the same time, the leading staff member had also noticed this mark. His eyes flashed with keen hostility, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Just before he entered the room, I suddenly raised my hand and slashed the back of his head. The man immediately fainted and fell to the ground. As soon as this move was made, it undoubtedly cut off their own escape route. The others hesitated for a moment, then raised the things in their hands and rushed towards me.
There are five people on the other side. Even if I can take care of them, it cannot be done with just three punches and five kicks. Once they shout and alert others, we will not even have a chance to escape.
At the critical moment, Xu Miaofeng suddenly took action. She stepped out from behind the door, kicked one down, then turned around and knocked out another one cleanly. And I took this opportunity to knock down another one. I thought it was more than enough to deal with the remaining one, but before I could take a breath, the guy shouted, "Come on, someone, Li Rui is an accomplice!"
"I'll go!" I changed my face in a second. I didn't even have time to think. I rushed forward and kicked him over, determined not to let him say another sentence.
After confirming that no one was moving, Xu Miaofeng looked at me calmly, "Have you decided where to go?"
I glared at her and said angrily: "I want a good girl!"
After saying that, I dragged a few people into the room and was about to run away when I saw Xu Miaofeng sitting in the room without any sign of urgency, "You still don't plan to leave? If you don't leave, don't even think about leaving again!"
After saying that, I turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, Xu Miaofeng became calm at this juncture, which made me even more annoyed. I was about to ask her what was wrong with her, but suddenly I found blood oozing from her abdomen.
"You-" I was shocked, "are you injured?!"
I quickly squatted down and took away her hand that was pressing on her stomach. Sure enough, blood was seeping out from inside the clothes, and it looked like the injury was unclear.
"Why is it so serious? You don't really want to commit suicide, do you?" I asked.
But Xu Miaofeng smiled helplessly, "Do you think I am someone who will commit suicide?"
"Damn it, Wang Lung didn't do this!" I said angrily.
She didn't say anything, so it seemed like I was right. Wang Lung must have tortured her in order to get the secret of the undersea tomb out of her mouth.
