Chapter 1517 (1/2)

”We have boarded the ship and are expected to arrive at Sri baga Bay tonight.”

Early in the morning, Li Qing leaned against the railing on the deck, typed such a jargon in her mobile phone, and then sent a short message to Lin Qiuqiu. He stared at the mobile phone screen and waited quietly for a while. He found that the short message had not been sent.

”Hmm? No signal?” he raised his head and looked at Du Huasheng who was carrying a glass of whisky onto the deck.

”This is not nonsense. How can the signal cover so far?” Du Huasheng shouted angrily. ”If you really want to send messages back, use the ship's communication system.”

”That's not necessary.” Li Qing turned off his cell phone and put it into his pocket.

He turned around, supported the guardrail with both hands, raised his eyes and looked at the island of ah Mai, which had turned into a point in his field of vision.

Du Huasheng suddenly said, ”now regret... It's too late.”

Li Qing looked at him: ”huh?”

”If you want to find the rest of the Kuzhi bandits, you are likely to face the coalition army directly, okay?” Du Huasheng said faintly. ”In Southeast Asia, humanitarianism is a joke, especially for the bandits. International conventions lack Trial Provisions for them, so when the coalition army acts, as long as it can kill, it usually won't leave a living mouth.”

Li Qing lowered her head and stared at the sparkling sea: ”I'm only looking for Lin Mengdie. The huangjiahai bandits have nothing to do with me.”

Du Huasheng smiled: ”what can you do if you find her? There won't be a sheep in the wolves... To take a step back, even if she is willing to go with you, will the Kuzhi bandits let you go?”

Li Qing said coldly, ”I'll kill whoever stops me.”

”Good, good, good, kind.” Du Huasheng nodded again and again. ”You remind me of a poem, 'kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for thousands of miles'. I'll only help you find her. What to do next depends on your ability, which has nothing to do with me.”

”I know. I don't expect you to help. On the contrary, it's lucky not to be betrayed.”

Du Huasheng shrugged his shoulders: ”for your sake of observing the holy meaning, let me teach you a way to protect your life.”

He blurted out a Malay sentence and then said, ”read it with me.”

Li Qing read along with him once, and couldn't help frowning and asking, ”what does that mean?”

”There are many Chinese in Southeast Asia, and Chinese is widely used. I teach you this sentence just in case,” Du Huasheng said with a smile. ”This Malay translation is' I'm very rich ', ha ha ha, how about it? Isn't it good?”

Li Qingmei frowned more tightly and glanced at him obliquely: ”how can this protect life?”

”Of course, the United Army is not strong in combat, with lax military discipline, constant infighting and a noisy mess. Otherwise, the Kuzhi sea bandits would have been wiped out.” Du Huasheng looked a little proud, ”They just have a good reputation. In fact, most of them are local family armed forces, which belong to the mixed military strength of private and government. The situation in Southeast Asia is chaotic. In order to protect private property, large capital families follow your ancient Chinese Township courage regiment training to train their own armed forces.”

Li Qing asked, ”just like your father?”

”Well, almost.” Du Huasheng blinked, ”it's just that my father hasn't talked with the ruling party and is still in a state of waiting for recruitment.”

”So... Most of the military power is in private hands?”

”Yes, if the Kuzhi bandits were not rampant and Huang Ziying angered the interests of too many people, how could so many private armed forces be gathered together to jointly suppress the bandits?”

Li Qing gently tugged at the corner of his mouth: ”then you just taught me that sentence...”

Du Huasheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: ”interests, only eternal interests, are the foundation of settling down. You are the owner of the Li family in Lingang. You are fat and greasy. Those poor people who are not even equipped with their underpants can't slobber when they see you? So I tell you, don't be stingy about your identity and wealth at the critical moment.”

Li Qing nodded solemnly: ”the same words are given to you. If you are caught, you must tell them that you are Du Zhengfeng's son.”

”Hehe, my father has fourteen sons. He won't care about me.” Du Huasheng sneered, ”if I'm caught, I don't expect someone to save me.”

”Eh? Didn't you say last time... Your father had thirteen sons? One was green...” Li Qing asked with confused eyes. ”Did you say... Another one?”

”Thirteen is a false finger...” Du Huasheng grinned. ”It's estimated that he can't remember himself. How do I know?”

”Oh.”

Du Huasheng drank the wine, then raised his hand and threw the cup into the sea.

He didn't seem to want to pester about how many sons his father had. He simply changed the topic: ”I just thought about what you said to me this morning.”

”You mean Qian Hanling?”

”Yes.” Du Huasheng's eyes showed a faint color, ”you must have been fooled by her. Zhao Zhen is definitely not dead.”

Li Qing looked at him for a moment and asked in a low voice, ”are you so sure?”
