Chapter 339: Departure I (2/2)

Her life experience told her that going with a roundabout would be the most effective treatment to the situation, as she always had her own way to lower the caution of the foes to achieve what she needed. Although the pesky boy whose name was Chen Mu was acting like a stone of a dump, she did not intend to give up, as she had faced the more stone of a dump before.

Ye Chong decided to not give her a second to act, as he took a look at the time, ”We are leaving,” he said to Rui Bing.

Rui Bing gave a nod. To where they would go, she would not care, as long as it was with Ye Chong.

”Leaving? To where you guys are leaving?” Susan was alert.

The question was given the silent treatment as Ye Chong preferred to save his words. He made a leap right to the side of Susan, which scared the soul out of her. She was going to move reflexively yet Ye Chong forbade that, his hand grabbed the side of her neck and a crack was heard crystal clear. He was immune to beauty after all, that he would not spare someone just because of her physical appearance, although that snap was only a trick to keep her on ground for 10 days which were the only amount of time he would ever need.

He signaled Rui Bing to stay as he left the room to look for that old Jalopy man.

It did not take him much time before he discovered the good old man was leaning against the corner, dozing off, salivating. And Ye Chong just lifted the sleepyhead all the way back to Rui Bing.

Zzzzzz...

”Oh my Zhou Jian!” The Jalopy elderly was shocked awake, his arms were waving, struggling within Ye Chong's grip.

Ye Chong calmly got the man to the room and placed him down, ”What you fella doin', spoiling my nice little nap?” He seemed displeased.

”We are going to leave,” replied Ye Chong concisely.

”Leave?” The old man was astonished, ”Are you kidding me? Don't mess with the old man. Why are you thinking of leaving now, of all times? Geez, clearly you have not seen the world enough, boy. Zhou Jian has been quarantine, the entire planet is locked away from the world. They won't even let us to lift a toe outside if they could not find a way to cure the virus... man boys these days with their hectic attitude...,” he muttered.

Ye Chong was too lazy to brief the angered elderly. Action speaks louder than words anyway.

He gave Rui Bing a nod, ”Let's go.” And then he lifted the Jalopy old man to the outside, ”Hey! Hey! Hey! What do you think yer doing boy? You can never get out! They would crash all the escaping craft! You nuts or something?” Towards the kind advice, Ye Chong showed negligence while he took one last check in his bag, on the three chips which would be the key to their survivals.

Rui Bing took Fei Si by her waists and caught up.

It was midnight and almost everyone was a deep asleep. So the escape was carried out quietly, nobody had noticed how the two long shadows had vanished at the street of Zhou Jian.

They headed to the port, the corridor to be exact. Nothing had changed. The spaceship was still there, which was the greatest relief to Ye Chong. He opened up the gate and raised his ears.

...

... ... He walked in.

Well, if anyone still remembers, there remained 13 captives inside the ship which technically should be unconscious and in fact they were.

The moment when Old Jalopy saw the ship, he was at loss of word. Fei Si had also stopped weeping in the meantime, as her face was stiff. Rui Bing was calm, seemingly already immune to whatever surprise Ye Chong could bring.

Ye Chong began working right after the gate was sealed tight. The first thing on his list was to smash every communicative device on the passengers. Then he would wake them up.

”Good morning. I guess all of you have already waken up,” stated Ye Chong indifferently. ”All of you should understand the situation now.”

”W-who are you? Why did you attack us?” The bodyguard of the child asked grimly.

Towards the pilot who once sniped him, Ye Chong gave a glance. The bodyguard's scarred face was dull in expression, so were his eyes, apparently unconcerned of his own situation.

”I lacked men to run the ship,” Ye Chong answered with honesty.

”Just...” Everyone was shocked, ”Just because of this?”

”Yes.” The reply was firm.

The little boy seemed unafraid, quite the contrary actually, that he looked at Ye Chong with total interest, ”You are great,” he commented as he glanced at his bodyguards who lowered their heads in shame, except for the one with a scarred face.

”Where are we going?” The little boy lifted his head and asked in the naive curiosity.
