75 Secret Revealed (2/2)

Looking at the time, she calculated she had only five minutes till the ship would set off. She didn't hesitate to select the whole folder with all the files from that day, deciding to delete it all. Just as she clicked the delete button, an alert popped up on the screen, saying:

[Do you wish to delete the files permanently? The User wouldn't be able to retrieve them afterwards. Confirm?] [Yes] [No]

She quickly clicked [Yes] before closing the programme, rushing towards the doors. Dongmei didn't need a lot of time to decide what to do now, planning to see him for the last time before leaving. Even if he was in another body, he was still her Wuxing.

When the doors swung open with her sudden push, the technicians jumped away in a scare. They planned to ask Dongmei if everything worked fine but she didn't even look at them, running towards the stairs. They guards naturally followed after her, finding her behaviour today really strange.

”Miss!” They called out after her but she didn't react to them either. Their only solution was to catch up with her and keep her safe as they always did. While running fast in her sandals, Dongmei lost them in the process, making them fly into the air behind her but she didn't stop to get them, deciding to run barefoot.

The prison staff on the way were giving her way the moment they saw who was running towards them. It would be hard to find anyone who would dare to block her way. After finally leaving the building, there was only a long stretch towards the docks left for her.

...….

As Wuxing exchanged the last few words with the Chief Warden, the captain of the ship came up to him and invited him politely while checking his watch, ”Mr Cheng, it's time to depart. Can you please enter the boat? Everyone going back is already on board.”

Wuxing only nodded, having no problems with that and followed the captain after his last goodbyes. Wuxing planned to enter the ship last, wanting to know if Long Qing will arrive and just as he thought, he saw him boarding the ship a few minutes ago. It was both a pro and a con as now Wuxing had to choose, either to kill him and have troubles later or have a safe journey just as he planned.

Unfortunately, the desire to kill Long Qing was too high for him to resist it. He didn't want to have any mishaps with that so his only solution was to call a certain someone and clear the mission that Devil Face gave him. It was very annoying but there was nothing he could do other than cursing himself for taking such a deal. Obviously, Wuxing wasn't a person who would regret his deeds for long. One cannot change the past no matter how much he curses.

The ship transporting the cargo wasn't gigantic but there it could be classified to be as medium-sized, even though the board wasn't that far from the water. Just as Wuxing entered the ship he heard Devil Face reminding him once again, 'I give you five minutes to call else I'm going to disable one of your arms for you, hehe.'

Wuxing rolled his eyes hearing that and quickly replied, trying to buy time, 'I know already. I will do it in a moment. Let the ship sail first.' This way it would be much safer for him as before Guan Dong can catch him, he would already be gone.

To Wuxing's surprise, Devil Face didn't argue much and agreed, laughing in between, 'Fine, I will give you this leeway. It would be more fun watching Guan Dong cry, hahaha. I wish I could see his face when he learns that you already stole his daughter's first time.'

'Do you have a grudge with him or something?' Wuxing tried to get something from him in the process but just as he expected, Devil Face didn't reply to his question.

Standing at the stern, Wuxing looked back at the dock, feeling the desire to glance one more time at Dongmei but he knew it was very unlikely. By that time, she should be still looking at the videos, understanding his ability fully. He actually felt much lighter having someone else share his secret.

Just as the ship moved, slowly getting away from the shore, Wuxing also decided to go back to the action, when suddenly, he saw a person running in the dock, bringing his eyes' attention. When he recognized who it was, he couldn't help but smile wryly, having his desire satisfied.

It was Dongmei who came running to see him for the last time after she learnt his secret and he could do nothing but watch her from afar. Knowing the Chief Warden was still on the shore, Wuxing decided to take that risk and wave to her. Naturally, Chief Warden thought it was for him and waved back.

He saw Dongmei halting her movements, talking with the Chief Warden for a moment, giving time to the guards who caught up at the moment, breathing rigidly for a moment. They were not used to such long and intense runs since they became Dongmei's bodyguards.

Just as they thought it was over, Dongmei looked towards Wuxing's eyes and started running again, dashing on the pier which was positioned alongside the departing ship.

Only after she ran the half a distance, Wuxing realised what she planned to do, calling out in his mind, 'No… Dongmei don't…' Unfortunately, Dongmei didn't stop, increasing her pace, trying to catch up to the ship. It was still moving slowly so it wasn't hard but the pier next to it would be soon ending, allowing them to set off into the sea.

”What is this lady doing?” The sailor who was near him on the stern asked confused, watching Dongmei finally catch up to them. There were only less than ten meters of the pier but she was still running forward with full force.

”Miss! Stop!” The guards shouted behind her as they tried to keep up, but before they managed to, Dongmei suddenly jumped from the edge, launching herself in the air straight towards the ship.
