Chapter 413: Hand Me Over
Chen Che moved through the city at high speed with Akiyama Minako, quickly shaking off the pursuers and arriving at the designated spot by the sea.
"Junior Brother, over here!"
Seeing Chen Che, Cheng Kexin immediately waved to signal him.
Chen Che jumped onto the speedboat and set Akiyama Minako down: "Go!"
"Boom!!!"
Ji Xuan started the speedboat, the engine roared, and the boat surged out toward the open sea, its stern spraying layers of white foam.
"Ah, finally I can rest for a moment!"
Chen Che looked at the boundless sea surface and stretched with a very pleasant mood.
Cheng Kexin smiled and asked: "Is everything cleared up?"
Chen Che nodded: "That's right, it was the Li Family causing trouble in Beijing; we need to hurry back to Xia now."
"Oh, right." Chen Che remembered something else and asked: "Senior Sister, do you have a way to contact Mistress now?"
"I do."
Cheng Kexin took a palm-sized black box from her bosom, "A small radio, meant for dealing with special situations."
"Very good, then synchronize what happened in Dongying with Mistress now, and also tell her to be wary of the Li Family."
"Okay."
Under Ji Xuan's piloting, the speedboat traveled very fast, and in less than half an hour, it caught up to the fishing boat.
"Here, here!"
Song Jinhe stood on the deck waving at Chen Che and the others, while Lin Qingye gripped the deck railing, her face full of excitement, as if she were dying to see them.
The speedboat stopped at the side of the fishing boat, and Chen Che and the others jumped straight onto it.
"Chen Che!"
As soon as he jumped onto the fishing boat, Chen Che felt a wave of fragrance hit him, and his arms were filled with a soft, delicate body.
Lin Qingye buried her face in Chen Che's chest, her hands clutching him tightly, refusing to let go for a long time.
"Ahem!"
Song Jinhe coughed hard to remind them, yet Lin Qingye seemed not to hear, remaining unmoved.
Cheng Kexin couldn't watch anymore either, and she patted Lin Qingye on the shoulder: "That's about enough."
Lin Qingye still didn't move.
Song Jinhe put her hands on her hips, her jealousy fully ignited, and she walked over to forcibly pull Lin Qingye away: "Alright, you're endless! We all had a part in saving you, how come I don't see you hugging us too?!"
"I don't like hugging women, I only like hugging men," Lin Qingye said, then dove back into Chen Che's arms.
Song Jinhe gritted her teeth in anger: "You're really pushing it, aren't you!"
Lin Qingye didn't care, saying: "What kind of jealousy is this? Could it be..."
She glanced at Chen Che and asked in a low voice: "Have you slept together?"
Chen Che immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"If you haven't slept together, then what are you jealous of? I'm just going to hug him!" Lin Qingye looked at Song Jinhe with a mix of defiance and provocation, rubbing against Chen Che's chest.
"Slut, we shouldn't have saved you!" Song Jinhe said angrily.
Cheng Kexin was also very unhappy; she had wanted to admit her relationship with Chen Che, but seeing so many people around, she swallowed the words back and sulked.
Watching the sisters bicker, Ji Xuan smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Qingye, Song Jinhe, and Cheng Kexin were not just pretty vases; Ji Xuan had seen all of their capabilities today.
Yet, seeing these three outstanding women all surrounding Chen Che and fighting for his affection, she felt not the slightest bit of surprise or astonishment.
Because she, too, had deeply experienced Chen Che's abilities; she feared there wasn't a woman who, after truly understanding Chen Che, wouldn't fall for him.
For a moment, she actually envied the three sisters; if only she could be one of them, standing by Chen Che's side, how wonderful that would be.
Akiyama Minako leaned against the railing, also watching Chen Che and the others.
Unlike Ji Xuan, her gaze automatically ignored the three women, focusing only on Chen Che, her mind replaying the scene of Chen Che coming to save her over and over, her mood like the azure sea, constantly churning with wave after wave of ripples.
Miyanaga Rika stood not far away, holding her younger brother Gongyong Zhibo in her arms.
Gongyong Zhibo blinked his bright, watery eyes and asked curiously: "Big Sister, do those pretty big sisters all like the big brother?"
Miyanaga Rika smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"
Gongyong Zhibo frowned and said: "I think they all like the big brother, because the way they look at him is the same as you, Big Sister."
"You little rascal," Miyanaga Rika teased.
"But, Big Sister, don't worry. Even though those big sisters are pretty, they aren't as pretty as you; the big brother will definitely like you."
Gongyong Zhibo comforted her.
Miyanaga Rika smiled gently, teasing him on purpose: "Then what if the big brother just likes those big sisters and doesn't like me?"
"Then... then..." Gongyong Zhibo pouted, his little head turning this way and that, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck, and he said: "Big Sister, why don't you try seducing the big brother? Then he'll definitely like you!"
Miyanaga Rika was stunned, her face turning red instantly, and she gave him a tap: "Where did you learn these things!"
"I saw it on TV..."
"You are not allowed to watch that anymore!"
"Oh..."
In the cockpit, the parents of the siblings were also watching the situation on the deck outside.
Gongyong Yan said with a straight face: "You have to admit, the degree to which this young man is popular with women is really a bit like me when I was young."
His wife, Gongyong Huifang, hit him and scolded: "Don't be shameless, don't I know what you were like when you were young?! Like you? Forget about when you were young, do you even have half a finger's worth of this young man's ability now?"
"Is that any way to belittle your own husband? Can't you even let me fantasize a little?" Gongyong Yan complained.
Gongyong Huifang said: "Less fantasizing, you're old enough now, just focus on steering your boat."
Gongyong Yan glanced at his daughter standing on the side of the deck and said again, "That young man saved us out of consideration for our daughter. You tell me... what exactly is the relationship between our daughter and that young man?"
Gongyong Huifang looked up, glanced over, and sighed, "I reckon it's our daughter's unrequited love."
"How could that be?" Gongyong Yan could not believe it, "Our daughter isn't lacking either!"
"Our daughter isn't lacking, but those few girls, which one do you think is lacking?"
"......... That is true."
Gongyong Yan sighed dejectedly, "I was still thinking that after we go to Xia in the future, our daughter could have a happy ending with that young man, and we would have a good life too."
"Rest assured, the young man is kind-hearted and won't ignore us," Gongyong Huifang said.
Gongyong Yan returned to the driver's seat to focus on steering the boat, but he discovered that on the sea surface behind the boat, over a dozen law enforcement vessels and speedboats were rapidly pursuing them.
"It's bad! There are pursuers! There are pursuers!" Gongyong Yan shouted to his wife, "Go tell them quickly!"
Gongyong Huifang ran out of the cockpit in a panic and shouted to the deck, "Law enforcement vessels are chasing us!"
The few people who had been fooling around on the deck quickly quieted down and hurried to the stern; at a single glance, they saw densely packed law enforcement vessels lined up, rapidly chasing toward the fishing boat.
"It's bad, we've been intercepted!"
At this moment, Miyanaga Rika stood on the bow deck, looked at the sea surface ahead, and let out a scream.
Chen Che and the others quickly returned to the bow deck; the law enforcement vessels were connected in front, curving into a pocket that blocked the fishing boat's path.
Attacked from front and back, the fishing boat was completely surrounded.
Ito Yudai stood on the deck, gazing at Chen Che on the fishing boat with a ferocious expression, and gritted his teeth, "You brat, I've finally caught up to you."
Cheng Kexin looked around, losing her composure, "We are surrounded, what do we do now?"
"The number of law enforcement vessels is too high, and they are all equipped with True Qi Weapons; we will easily be sunk!"
Song Jinhe frowned tightly, her eyes filled with panic, "And the sea surface is too open; my Array cannot be deployed. At most, I can only block the law enforcement vessels on one side."
Lin Qingye sighed and said dejectedly, "According to what you're saying, aren't we dead for sure?"
Ji Xuan ran a circle around the deck and returned, saying, "Jump ship! We are all Martial Artists; we might not be unable to break out of the encirclement."
"Heh!"
Akiyama Minako sneered, "Do you really think you have an immortal body? Even if you can break out of the encirclement... this is the open sea. How far can you swim? Do you really expect to swim back to Xia?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?!" Ji Xuan asked back displeased.
Akiyama Minako did not answer, but instead looked at Chen Che and said, "Hand me over; that way, you might be able to leave safely."
Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
