Chapter 918: Find the Culprit and Deal With It
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The three princesses immediately started to panic out of fear.
“AHHH-”
Zi Yi could not take their screams and she shouted, “Shut up.”
Subsequently, she asked the guards, “There should be emergency life-saving equipment here, right? Even if there isn’t any, there should be the police and lifeguards, correct?”
This was a tourist spot and even if the river was wide, it was easy to go ash.o.r.e. Unless someone deliberately planned this to prevent them from going ash.o.r.e.
!!
The guard’s answer was unexpected. “Something happened on the river bank and the police are handling the issue. Moreover, the boat that collided into this boat is in an even more severe state and it’s about to capsize.”
Zi Yi turned to where the guard was looking. Sure enough, the opposite boat had capsized.
That boat was extremely large in size. When it capsized, it affected many of the nearby boats.
At this very moment, the situation here at the river can only be described with a single word – chaos.
“Zi, what should we do now?” Annette walked over to Zi Yi’s side and asked with a frightened expression.
Zi Yi did not really think of this situation as a dangerous one.
She stepped forward and headed outside the cabin onto the deck.
However, as soon as she took two steps forward, Shadow’s warning voice sounded next to her. “Master, there’s a bomb installed in one of the boats and it’s about to crash into this boat.”
“Hmph!” Zi Yi coldly snorted and strode to the railing of the boat.
Screams could be heard from all directions. In particular, the large boat and the affected boat on the other side. There were many people who were flung into the sea.
In addition, there were also many lifeguards who were rescuing those people in the river.
If something were to happen during such a situation, no one would notice anything.
Just then, Zi Yi sensed an incoming danger.
She quickly moved to the side.
In the next second, an explosion sounded from behind her.
BAM!
“AHHH-”
The supposedly already chaotic scene intensified as shrill screams were heard from all directions.
Zi Yi tilted her head and took a look. This boat was decorated with all sorts of beautiful fabric and flammable decorations. The bomb aiming for her had lit up the decorations on the boat and the fire intensified in an instant.
The group of ladies was so frightened that they screamed as if they were meeting their end.
“Tsk.” Zi Yi said to Shadow, “Find the culprit and deal with it.”
Shadow said, “First Master and Major General Runge are dealing with those on the sh.o.r.e.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and quickly took out a ball from her pockets. The circular ball flew into the water and several water columns appeared as the ball aimed the water from the river at the burning areas.
At the same time, she took out several circular b.a.l.l.s and threw them around her.
The circular ball soon covered the surroundings of the boat.
Subsequently, the boat was s.h.i.+fted back on track as it headed for the dock.
After the boat left the chaotic area, incredulous exclamations could be heard from both sides of the river bank.
Zi Yi did not return to the cabin either. When the s.h.i.+p reached the dock, she headed for a remote place.
Not long later, she stopped walking.
By this time, she had left the crowded area and arrived somewhere without street lights, which was eerily silent. She checked her surroundings and gave a shout, “Come out.”
Immediately afterwards, several masked men jumped out from her surroundings.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at them as she said in a deep voice, “Who sent you?”
The masked men made eye contact with one another and attacked Zi Yi without a second thought.
Zi Yi remained standing there without moving. When the group of masked men launched an attack, Shadow II appeared.
Shadow II practically took care of those people in less than a minute.
Looking at the masked men lying on the ground, Zi Yi was about to head somewhere else.
Just then, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps from her left side.
When the man appeared, he immediately asked, “Are you alright?”
Zi Yi looked at Runge who appeared in front of her, then at the men who were knocked unconscious near her feet. Instead of answering, she asked, “Do you think something would have happened to me?”
Junge looked at the masked men next to her feet and walked over in large strides.
“My eldest brother and second brother sent these people.”
“Hmm?”
“Both of them are pretending to be each other by sending these attacks, unaware that the other is also doing the same.”
“How did you know?”
Runge was unexpectedly silent at Zi Yi’s question.
He took two steps forward and looked at her as he said in an extremely serious tone of voice, “Let’s cooperate.”
Zi Yi looked back at him.
Even if it was rather dark here, she could see the strong ambition s.h.i.+ning from the depths of his eyes.
Just then, Runge spoke again. “Other than the areas we are aware of in the universe, there are even more powerful and advanced areas. I wish to travel there and take a look.”
Zi Yi lowered her eyes, it was as if she was considering his offer.
Just then, another wave of approaching footsteps came from one side. Before Zi Yi had the chance to speak, her body was pulled into a familiar embrace. Lu Jingye’s eyes no longer had their usual gentleness and instead, his gaze had become sharp like knives.
“Runge, I don’t care if the royal family is having an internal fight for power. However, if Yiyi gets pulled into this fight, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Having said that, he did not even give Runge the opportunity to respond and brought Zi Yi away.
Runge looked at both of their departing back profiles and remained standing there as he said, “I hope that you can think it over. As long as you agree, you can utilize all the cutting-edge technologies available in Country D. You can also have free control of the factories here.”
Zi Yi did not respond to what he said. On the other hand, Lu Jingye suddenly stopped.
Zi Yi stopped walking alongside Lu Jingye.
Lu Jingye lowered his head and looked at her.
Zi Yi also looked back at him.
Lu Jingye asked, “Do you want to accept?”
Zi Yi tilted her head and thought about it before she said, “You don’t seem to be fond of him. In that case, I won’t accept.”
Lu Jingye felt an indescribable surge of emotions welling up inside him. He did not say anything else and hugged her while they continued walking.
“Let’s leave here tonight.”
“Ok.”
The figures of Zi Yi and Lu Jingye went further away until their silhouettes could no longer be seen.
Only then did Runge turn around and walk away.
He would definitely get Zi Yi to agree to the cooperation one day.
However, before this happened, it was time for his eldest brother and second brother to be taken care of.
…
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye left just like that.
When the helicopter left Country D, it just so happened to be 12:30 a.m.
Qin Ze was still confused when he sat on the helicopter.
“I thought we agreed on leaving tomorrow? Why are we leaving at this time?”
After Qin Ze asked that question, he specially glanced at Lu Jingye.
Evidently, this man had his usual expression on his face but Qin Ze felt that Lu Jingye seemed a little unusual.
This type of unusualness was similar to when someone was radiating jealousy.
Qin Ze s.h.i.+fted his attention back to Zi Yi.
She was currently swiping on her tablet and seemed to be in a serious mood.
“Cough, cough… cough, cough…”
Zi Yi looked up at Qin Ze who was deliberately coughing and asked, “I have medicine that can treat discomfort in the throat. Do you want some?”
Qin Ze: “…”
Zi Yi showed the tablet to Lu Jingye and said, “Ah Jing, look at this post.”
Lu Jingye took the tablet from her.
Qin Ze also craned his neck out of curiosity. After he took a look, he asked in a surprised tone, “What’s this? An infectious disease? Not to mention, it originated from South Africa?”
“That’s right. It’s said that some people were recently inflicted with a strange disease by wearing the diamonds from South Africa.”
“Was there a mistake? Why didn’t we hear the slightest news when we were in Country D? Or perhaps this has nothing to do with the diamonds at all?”
“I don’t know. I saw this post by accident. It hasn’t become a trending topic.”
