Chapter 916: Entertaining ShowdownTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jack smiled. “Li Lei didn’t tell you?”
Xia Ling asked, “Tell me what?”
Jack snickered as he rushed towards the pirates surrounding Li Lei and made a hand signal. The pirates immediately removed the safety catch on their guns. Danger lingered in the air.
Li Lei lifted his head and saw Jack in the crowd. This was not part of the agreed script!
Jack shrugged his shoulders and hollered. “Initially, I wanted to let you all off, but your son just had to steal our gun. Now, I’m really angry, and the consequences will be severe.” As he spoke, he waved his hand and all of the pirates suddenly fired their guns.
Shaohui also did his best to fire his gun at them.
Everyone on the cruise s.h.i.+p screamed. Two timid girls fainted. Wei Shaoyin grabbed Feng Kun’s arm tightly and almost forgot how to breath. In front of their TV screens, the entire world was horrified.
Shaohui thought that he was about to die. It was impossible that he could survive after being surrounded by so many guns. Unexpectedly, the darkness and pain that he imagined did not happen. Instead, colourful confetti exploded everywhere and landed on his small head and handsome suit.
Shaohui was startled. Even Li Lei was startled. Since when did Jack bring so many fake guns on board filled with colorful confetti? In front of the TV, the audience stared at the confetti and was about to explode. “What is the situation now? Did these pirates take the wrong guns?!”
On the cruise s.h.i.+p, only Feng Kun was calm. He quietly saved his arm from Wei Shaoyin’s death grip and continued to drink his c.o.c.ktail.
“You…” Wei Shaoyin looked in the direction of the pirate s.h.i.+p and then at his companion. Only then did he had an epiphany. “You knew that the kidnapping was fake a long time ago, right? Those pirates were colluding with Xiao Ling and this is part of the wedding! Did Xiao Ling tell you in advance? She didn’t even tell me!”
Looking at his indignant expression, Feng Kun slowly said, “It’s simple reasoning. Somali pirates would never fight so arrogantly. Furthermore, the Li Family is of extraordinary status and the Xia Family is not someone they would dare to mess with. Why would the pirates have a death wish?”
Wei Shaoyin blinked.
Feng Kun continued to drink calmly.
After some time, Wei Shaoyin suddenly reacted and roared at Feng Kun. “What’s with your scornful tone just now?! Are you looking down on me?! What’s there to look down on?!”
Feng Kun smiled at him warmly, as if to say he knew that Wei Shaoyin’s IQ was low but he would not comment on it.
The internet also blew up. Most people were talking about the confetti and petals that suddenly popped up on the pirate s.h.i.+p, but there were also some people protecting either Feng Kun or Wei Shaoyin. They tirelessly argued. “Just now, who said that our Ah Kun had a poor character? I think it’s just that Wei Shaoyin has a low IQ! Our Ah Kun saw that the kidnapping was fake a long time ago! Hahahaha…”
Wei Shaoyin fans cursed back.
On the pirate s.h.i.+p.
Shaohui also recovered from the commotion. He threw aside his confetti gun and lifted his head to look at his mom and the pirate head. After that, he looked at his dad. “Were you trying to fool me?”
He said in a very cute yet indignant voice.
The audience’s hearts melted. Some middle-aged mothers began to wipe their tears. “Shaohui is so cute. Seriously, how could Li Lei and Xiao Ling bear to lie to him? Why isn’t he my son? I would definitely never lie to him and love him dearly.”
Shaohui did not know this, but if he knew that so many audience members wanted to adopt him, he would definitely think about changing his parents. With teary eyes, he looked at his dad, awaiting an answer.
Li Lei was very calm. “When did I lie to you?”
“You…” Shaohui initially wanted to say that he lied about the pirates, but was then rendered speechless. Besides, his dad never told him anything about the pirates. He just did not tell him the complete truth.
Li Lei was delighted. His young brat wanted to fight with him? Dream on!
He said to Shaohui, “Don’t you like looking at pirates? These are all real pirates, you can look at them as much as you want. The next time you want to see them, don’t look for Uncle Lin Yunan, just look for your dad directly.”
Lin Yunan, who was on the cruise listening to the conversation, was speechless. He saw that Li Lei was deliberately getting even with him. This really made his hair stand on end. He couldn’t believe that he was able to do this to such a small child.
Shaohui also saw it. He blinked and looked even more indignant.
Li Lei messed his short hair and the soft confetti fell to the floor. “These pirates are dad’s friends. Quickly greet Uncle Jack and the other uncles.”
Shaohui grievously addressed them all as “uncle.”
Thinking about it again, he was very happy. His mother’s safety was more important than anything else.
Furthermore, the pirates were really handsome!
The young child’s mood improved. In a flash, he already forgot about his dad’s scheme and looked curiously at the pirates. “Uncles, you’re all so awesome! When I grow up, I want to be a pirate too.”
Jack laughed. “Sure, join us!” He turned around to look at Li Lei. “Brother, I’m sorry but your son really has a lot of affinity with me. In the future, let him join us. As for the successor of the Li Family? You and your future wife can have another child.”
In a few words, he summed up Shaohui’s future.
Li Lei was a little annoyed. “You aren’t allowed to have any ideas regarding my son. Oh yes, quickly release my future wife.”
Since the act was over, he ordered them to let Xiao Ling go.
Jack smiled and said, “Do you think I would let her go just because you asked me to? How embarra.s.sing would that be? You have to at least win a fight with me.” He rolled up his sleeves and was about to go to the deck to fight with Li Lei.
Li Lei also smiled. “You were already defeated but you still want another fight?” A few years ago in Somalia, the two had a famous battle. Li Lei defeated Jack, winning the respect and friends.h.i.+p of all the pirates.
Now, Jack said, “After losing to you I have worked hard. This time I will definitely win.”
Li Lei was not afraid of him. He shook his arms and was really about to fight with him. All of the cameras were pointed at them. Even Xia Ling was ready to watch the entertaining showdown.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden change!
A masked man wearing all black came out of nowhere when everyone’s attention was focused on Li Lei and Jack and dragged Xia Ling into his arms at lightning speed!
“Ah—” Xia Ling’s exclamation left everyone shocked.
