Chapter 588 - A LIAR (1/2)

Zhong Feng stood on the dock like an immovable tree with a deep frown on his face. Hu Lei should have joined them on the ship over forty minutes ago. However, she was still a no-show, and she was not picking his calls.

”You should go back on the ship. If anything happens, you should leave ahead. We will find our way back.” Zhong Feng said to Kaito.

Kaito was standing behind him on a dock, waiting for Hu Lei with him. Akira and Hikari were already settled into the ship. While they were in good health, it was better for them to avoid the cold ocean breeze.

”We are leaving together,” Kaito responded without hesitation.

To Kaito, Hu Lei had always been like a sister to him. And after she got married to Zhong Feng, he became a part of his friends' circle. Zhong Feng was an even better friend than people he knew for years. Therefore, he would never leave them in a lurch.

Not to mention, the primary reason that the two of them were on Martial Island was because of him. In the past year, they saved his life more times than he deserved.

Zhong Feng did not like arguing, so he did not say anything further.

Fortunately, the two people heard the roar of a motorcycle before the bike with a small rider in black appeared. She was like a powerful but compact monster as she hopped off the motorcycle and tossed it aside dramatically.

She rushed to the dock and threw her entire body on Zhong Feng.

”Sorry. I got held up with other business. And I lost that stupid earbud.” Hu Lei said as she hang on tightly onto Zhong Feng's body.

”I made it.” Zhong Feng said as he lifted her and held her to himself.

”I know.” Hu Lei giggled.

Kaito felt relieved at the appearance of Hu Lei because it meant that they could all leave without uncertainty.

”Let's go, lovebirds.” He shouted. ”We are losing moonlight.”

Zhong Feng did not put Hu Lei on the ground. He lifted her more securely and cradled her before moving her into the ship. Before they could even settle into the cabin, the ship was already heading to the open ocean.

Kaito was at the helm, but most of the work could be attributed to the autopilot.

In their cabin, Zhong Feng checked Hu Lei for injuries. He knew that she would often ignore significant injuries and pain without even realizing it. Therefore, her preferred to make sure she was fine by looking at her for himself.

”What happened?” He asked.

Zhong Feng knew that Yuan Haoran intended for Jiang Yinuo to return to the outside world with them. He had already come to a conclusion about the occurrence that led to Jiang Yinuo being absent from the vessel.

But he still wanted to hear it from Hu Lei.

”Just as you might expect. She wanted to be with him.” Hu Lei said with a sigh. ”She got on a jet ski on the Eastern shoreline.”
