Chapter 85: The Soft-hearted Man

The fleet sailed on the sea. Fu Xi and Gong Hao were on a speedboat specially prepared by the pirate leader. It could only accommodate three to five people and was simple to control. It was very suitable for the two of them.

Now, there were only the two of them on the boat. The other pirates were steering their ships around to protect them. When they left the dangerous waters, the pirate leader would return with the pirate ship.

Fu Xi stood on the deck and looked at the departing ship. She couldn’t help but smile.

“At least it smells like the King of the Sea.”

“This isn’t a big deal.” Gong Hao steered the boat and stood beside her. “When we’ve dealt with all the trouble, I’ll let you see what a true King of the Sea looks like.”

At that time, a casual order would result in several large ships at his beckoning. These pirate ships did not even have the right to escort him.

Looking at the lofty man beside her, Fu Xi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, leaning on his shoulder.

“Okay, I’ll wait.”

The two of them fell silent.

The sound of the waves became the best melody between them.

“Eh?” Gong Hao suddenly focused on a black dot on the distant sea with a frown.

“There’s a boat there.”

Fu Xi looked in the direction he was looking at and her heart skipped a beat.

It was a lifeboat!

However, when she saw the lifeboat drifting casually with the waves, her brows furrowed tightly.

Someone was killed?

The two of them immediately controlled the boat to approach the black dot.

They were close enough that the entire lifeboat was in front of them. The pale blue hull looked familiar no matter how they looked at it.

Fu Xi looked at Gong Hao and spoke coldly.

“Ah Hao, this looks like a lifeboat from Gong Cheng’s team.”

She would be able to recognize him even if he was burned to ashes.

Gong Hao nodded solemnly.

“Right. ‘

The two of them moved closer. When they saw who was on the lifeboat, their expressions darkened.

It was Gong Cheng.

He lay quietly on the lifeboat. His lips were dry and bleeding, and his face was haggard. His face was purplish red and had been sunburnt.

The lifeboat collided with the boat. He only shook his head slightly without any reaction.

Fu Xi snorted in disdain.

“Retribution. ”

Gong Cheng had tried to kill them repeatedly but had failed. Now, he was actually thrown into the lifeboat. If they did not discover him, he would probably die from dehydration and thirst in a while.

Was it the pirate leader’s revenge?

Fu Xi couldn’t be bothered. Gong Hao looked at the semi-conscious Gong Cheng and squirmed with difficulty.

“Xi’er.”

Fu Xi looked at him coldly. “You want to save him?”

“Right. ”

Gong Hao took a deep breath and analyzed calmly, “I’m related to him by blood after all. I can’t really watch him die in front of me.”

Even if Gong Cheng was guilty, he should still be brought back to receive the punishment of the law. They did not want him to be sunburned, die of thirst, or be tortured to death here.

“And I want to get more clues from him.”

Gong Hao looked at Fu Xi and said firmly.

“Xi’er, I don’t believe that he would attack me for his own sake. There must be someone else behind him. ”

Fu Xi didn’t speak and only rubbed her eyebrows.

She understood Gong Hao’s thoughts.

He could not accept that his former brother had become his enemy.

There were indeed a lot of suspicious points regarding Gong Cheng.

“Then take him with you.” Fu Xi patted Gong Hao’s arm, her tone filled with affection and helplessness. “1 had it coming, getting involved with a soft-hearted man like you?’

Gong Hao hugged her excitedly.

“Xi’er, I knew you would support me.”.
