Capítulo 1472: Chapter 1472: Unexpected Incident

But he knew that he was fine and nearby, so it meant he must have gone diving.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart was put on edge. Although she knew Qin Yize was good at swimming, this was the ocean and it was nighttime. Gu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brow tightly.

Then, she reached into her pocket where she kept a slingshot pistol. Just as she was about to make a move, Huang Yu suddenly pointed at Gu Qiaoqiao and shouted harshly, “Hey woman, listen up! What I have in my hand is not fake. If you dare move, I’ll turn this place into a living hell!”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand stopped inside her pocket, not daring to move.

She couldn’t be sure if what was in the woman’s hand was real or fake, and naturally didn’t dare to risk everyone’s lives here.

Better safe than sorry. If it turned out to be real, there were surely explosives or a bomb on this ship. If it got destroyed, it wouldn’t be just Huang Yu dying.

Meanwhile, Qin Yize was lurking beneath the seawater and should soon be swimming toward the ship.

Gu Qiaoqiao naturally didn’t dare take the risk, even if she was a hundred percent sure she could destroy the item in the woman’s hand.

Standing on the pier, Gu Qiaoqiao’s cold gaze locked onto Huang Yu on the deck. This woman was already insane, and the most terrifying part was she belonged to the Mystic Sect. Although she hadn’t revealed her identity during the conversation, Gu Qiaoqiao understood what she said, and Huang Yu knew Gu Qiaoqiao understood her meaning, making her feel emboldened.

Just then, Qin Yize surfaced. He assessed the situation around; on his side, no one could spot him. A few were on deck, the rest inside the cabin watching those panicked girls.

This was the moment for swift action. As he just popped his head up, he also heard Huang Yu’s words, making his heart sink equally. If there were explosives on the ship, everything would be ruined, and even the people on shore wouldn’t be spared.

Silently, Qin Yize exerted strength, flipping himself onto the deck, then crouched there, observing the scene inside.

At this moment, Captain Su shouted loudly to divert Huang Yu’s attention, “Huang Yu, tell me what your conditions are?”

Finally negotiating terms with her, Huang Yu sighed in relief; she feared they didn’t believe her, which would be disastrous. Huang Yu shouted, “Have your people and the maritime patrol promptly leave. As soon as my ship enters international waters, I’ll return the women and antiques in the cabin to you. I’ll keep my word, or else we’ll go down together.”

Captain Su frowned tightly. At this moment, all the situations were emergent, and there hadn’t been time to plan for potential problems.

But he couldn’t hesitate; he was the commander of this operation. Thus, he decisively nodded and shouted, “Alright, I accept your conditions.”

“Agreeing to conditions isn’t enough; you must become a hostage!”

Huang Yu posed another demand.

Captain Su anticipated this, nodding again, “Alright, I’ll accept this condition too. I’ll be your hostage.” Then he solemnly instructed the nearby police officer, “Withdraw to the shore.”

“Captain, it’s too dangerous for you to be the hostage.” A young policeman close to Captain Su urgently shouted.

“That’s an order!” Captain Su commanded sharply.

At this moment, he had no time to check how Qin Yize was doing, assuming he’d gone to the other side of the ship. Qin Yize, battle-hardened, was more skilled and experienced, having truly faced life-and-death battlefields. Captain Su could only console himself with this thought.

A few policemen around exchanged glances, knowing they could only obey the captain’s orders at this moment, then turned and headed toward the pier.

Huang Yu finally exhaled inconspicuously, then raised the item in her hand, pointing at Captain Su, “Get on the ship now.”

Nowadays, what she held in her hand was more effective than a gun.

Captain Su hesitated no longer. If Qin Yize acted, he had to be in front to respond, so Huang Yu’s condition coincidentally aligned with his intentions.

Captain Su raised his arms, swimming toward the ship quickly, soon reaching the side. Despite the mute captain’s still trembling body, he knew it was a chance for them to survive. Once in international waters, these people could do nothing to them; worst-case, they’d remain in ungoverned territory and wait for an opportunity to return.

He extended his powerful arm, reaching out to grab Captain Su, afraid he’d change his mind, and with one effort, pulled Captain Su on board.

Captain Su knew everything must proceed quickly now, losing no time. He too exerted force, utilizing the mute’s strength to climb onto the deck, dripping water all over.

At this moment, Huang Yu waved the item in her hand, sneering, “This is a detonator for a time bomb, really not scaring you. Luckily you’re wise, or everyone would accompany you in death today. Even in death, you won’t be a martyr but criticized…”

Captain Su didn’t speak, his sharp gaze fixed on Huang Yu. This woman was quite talkative. Then he looked at the item in her hand, his peripheral vision suddenly catching sight of Qin Yize on the other side gesturing. Captain Su felt a surge of joy, knowing there might be a turnaround in tonight’s operation.

Just then, the sound of a patrol boat’s engine roared from afar, causing Huang Yu’s expression to change again. She shouted fiercely, “Make them leave immediately, don’t let them come here.”

Even as she spoke, the patrol boat approached closer. Captain Su didn’t hesitate any longer, waving his arms and shouting loudly, “Stop the boat, stop the boat, don’t come any closer.”

This moment, Huang Yu’s attention was entirely drawn to the unexpectedly appeared patrol boat. This was a rare chance. Captain Su gestured to Qin Yize on the other side, and at this moment, Huang Yu was facing away from Qin Yize, her entire focus on the patrol boat not far away, the most troublesome aspect. The police onshore couldn’t handle them, but the patrol boat was another story.

The two exchanged quick glances, Captain Su quietly approaching Huang Yu, still waving his arms and shouting loudly, while Qin Yize’s eyes were sharp as he leaped like a tiger toward Huang Yu…
