Chapter 478: Burning the Crocodiles

"What did you say?"

"Boss, Yano is having people set fire to the crocodiles, what should we do? The Military Advisor has already gone to the front and told me to notify you..." The subordinate repeated it again, and this time he heard it clearly.

He was greatly alarmed; he could no longer concern himself with romance.

He casually placed Yafei on the bed and called someone in to watch over her.

He pulled the door open and strode out to check the situation at the beach; he never expected his lair to actually be discovered.

There is a natural magnetic field around the Island, causing all instruments to malfunction when near it.

Therefore, ships generally do not come this way, and the location of the Island is not easily discovered by others.

That Yano found it so quickly was something he had not expected, and what he expected even less was that Yano would have a way to break his Crocodile Array!

Those crocodiles were his treasures; now they are being burned by fire?

No, he must kill Yano to avenge his precious crocodiles.

The beach.

The fire was spectacular; the near-shore had already turned into a sea of flames.

The crocodiles were struggling and twisting in pain in the seawater; some had even started swimming toward the deep sea, while more were crawling toward the shore!

What Zhu Yiwen was doing now was having people drive the crocodiles that wanted to come ashore back!

Coming ashore was no joke; he did not want to be bitten back.

Zhu Yiwen had once raised crocodiles in his own family's moat; one time, he did not know how it had crawled ashore from a shallow place, and he watched helplessly as the crocodile dragged a cleaning servant down and ate them!

That scene was too bloody, leading to it still being vivid in his mind even after so much time had passed.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? You bastard."

The Pirate leader was furious when he saw them not putting out the fire, but doing such a thing instead.

He kicked Zhu Yiwen in the butt, nearly kicking him into the sea of flames.

Zhu Yiwen almost kissed the crocodiles in the sea; he was deathly pale with fright, scrambling and crawling back.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Zhu Yiwen trembled like chaff, both angry and afraid.

The Pirate leader ignored him, shouting with his gong-like voice for his subordinates to hurry and fetch water.

Fresh water on the island was already very precious, but now it was being used to save crocodiles, which shows how much more precious these ugly things were in the Pirate leader's mind.

"Chiu—"

"Chiu-chiu—"

The Pirate made a strange sound in his mouth, and immediately, even stranger things happened.

The crocodiles, which had just been panicking and fleeing in all directions, suddenly seemed to receive an order, crawling onto the island in perfect unison...

Zhu Yiwen was scared to death and hurriedly ran inside.

As soon as he ran, crocodiles immediately chased after him!

"Chiu!"

Seeing the bloody mouth right before his eyes, upon hearing this sound, the crocodile's mouth immediately closed, and it obediently retreated.

The Pirate leader glared at Zhu Yiwen with dissatisfaction: "What are you running for? If you don't run, it won't chase you."

The crocodiles around the Island, except for those burned to death, all crawled ashore, heads facing outward, lying neatly on the shore like well-trained soldiers!

The people fetching water returned, not to put out the fire, but to pour it on these crocodiles to keep them moist, cool them down, and treat their wounds.

Zhu Yiwen realized what was happening and immediately went to flatter the boss: "Big Brother, you are truly amazing; even these beasts listen to you..."

This flattery did not go well; he ended up kicking the horse's leg.

The Pirate leader glared at him fiercely: "Who are you calling a beast? They are more loyal than you; you are the beast."

"Yes, yes, I am the beast."

Zhu Yiwen agreed timidly.

He was very submissive on the surface, but inwardly he hated the boss, wishing he could replace him immediately.

But he was very calculating and knew that now was not the time; he had to endure.

The cruise ship.

Yano held binoculars; from the moment the crocodiles started coming ashore, he knew this plan had failed.

When he first proposed the plan to burn the crocodiles, everyone agreed it was good.

However, after using a large amount of fuel, this was the result!

Wang Yong suggested: "We must return, replenish the fuel, and then come back to save people."

Even without thinking, everyone knew that after the fire was extinguished, the Pirates would definitely come out to retaliate.

The remaining fuel was only enough for them to return to a safe place; if a fight broke out, it would be dangerous!

Yano really wanted to save Yafei immediately, but he could not risk the lives of so many people, so he nodded and agreed.

The cruise ship turned back.

The Pirate leader saw it from the island and stomped his feet in anger: "Why did they run away? These cowards, they ran without even fighting; it's infuriating."

The cruise ship returned to the Fishing Village.

People got off the cruise ship to rest for a while.

Lao Ya Tou asked everyone he met: "Where is Yafei? Has Yafei been saved?"

People shook their heads, dejected.

Yano was very afraid to face his father's expectant eyes, but he had to face it.

He promised Lao Ya Tou that he would definitely save Yafei!

Lao Ya Tou stared straight at him, then suddenly, without warning, knelt before him: "Yano, cancel your marriage; this is Heaven punishing Yafei, punishing our Ya family."

"Dad, get up and speak, don't be like this, please don't be like this!"

Yano tried to help his father up, but Lao Ya Tou refused to budge no matter what.

With snot and tears streaming down his face, he exposed all the lies Yafei had told back then: "Yano, Yafei lied; this is Heaven taking revenge on her. Everything she told you was fake, all made up to deceive you."

Back then, Yafei told Yano that she had overheard Wang Yong and Shi Youxuan talking, and that the two were plotting to harm Yano.

Furthermore, the child in Shi Youxuan's belly was not his, but Wang Yong's.

There were many other slanderous remarks, and Yano had believed them all.

Because after losing his memory, the people closest to him were the Ya family; they had saved his life and were his kin. Unconditional trust in one's kin was both a strength and a weakness of Sheng Hanyu.

But now, Yafei's lies had been exposed!

Yano asked: "Is everything you said true?"

Lao Ya Tou replied: "Child, my Yafei has already met with retribution for her lies; do you think I would still lie to deceive you?"

He did not answer.

His head started to ache again!

……

Yano sat alone by the seaside.

Shi Youxuan, with her large belly, approached from behind and sat down beside him; he noticed her, but did not speak.

Because he did not know what to say. Although he now admitted that he was Sheng Hanyu and the child in this woman's belly was his, he simply could not remember anything—what was he to do?

A long time passed.

"I will take responsibility for you."

"I will go with you all to rescue Yafei tomorrow."

Both spoke at the same time, breaking the silence.

Yano objected: "No, it's too dangerous over there. You are a pregnant woman; I cannot let you take the risk."

Heh.

Shi Youxuan felt a sour, unpleasant sensation in her heart.

Could he not let her take the risk just because she was a pregnant woman?

Shouldn't it be because she was Shi Youxuan, and therefore he couldn't let her take the risk?

Sheng Hanyu had not yet recovered his memory, so she did not blame him.

Shi Youxuan said: "The possibility of me helping you rescue Yafei is higher."

Yano did not hesitate in the slightest: "There is still no need for you to go. Rescuing people is a man's business; you just stay put in the Fishing Village and behave."

"But, I am worried about you," Shi Youxuan finally spoke the truth.

Yano was silent.

He did not know how he should answer.

This woman claimed to be his wife, but he had no impression of her.

And he couldn't think about it; thinking made his head ache.

The only thing he could think about now was Yafei; Yafei was in grave danger in the Pirates' den!
