Xiao Ruolin cursed furiously, her fists raining down on the guy’s head in an attempt to push him away.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? What’s going on?"
Xiao Yifeng quickly stood up, seizing Xiao Ruolin’s hands and looking at her with dissatisfaction.
Damn woman, this handsome guy kindly sucked the poison out for you, and you’re still hitting me.
"It’s you! Xiao Yifeng, you shameless rogue! I took a dart for you, and you took advantage of the situation to do such a filthy thing to me, I really misjudged you."
Xiao Ruolin’s face was filled with anger as she glared at Xiao Yifeng furiously.
"Hey, don’t talk nonsense, woman. You’re slandering my noble image,"
Xiao Yifeng quickly defended himself.
"After what you’ve done to me, you still say I’m slandering your image, you shameless bastard!"
Xiao Ruolin said as she tried to hit Xiao Yifeng again, but her hands were tightly gripped by him, rendering her immobile.
"You really shouldn’t be ungrateful. I was saving you, not taking advantage of you,"
Xiao Yifeng explained hurriedly, fearing that if he did not clarify, this woman might actually kill him.
"You saved me?" Xiao Ruolin was taken aback, then swore:
"You bastard, you’re still talking nonsense."
At this point, Xiao Ruolin’s face was flushed with shame.
"If I didn’t do that, you would have died from the poison on that dart. I had to push your bra away to apply the needle. When I bent over, I was sucking the poison out of you, did you know that? Otherwise, how could you have woken up so quickly?"
"I risked getting poisoned myself to suck the poison out for you, and you still accuse me of taking advantage, it’s like Lu Dongbin being bitten by a dog, not recognizing a good person’s heart!"
"Who are you calling a dog?" Xiao Ruolin’s eyes once again glared fiercely at Xiao Yifeng.
"Were you really helping me by sucking out the poison?"
Xiao Ruolin looked at Xiao Yifeng with a skeptical look.
"Can’t you see for yourself?"
Xiao Yifeng pursed his lips, let go of Xiao Ruolin, and stepped aside.
Xiao Ruolin stood up, looked down, and indeed there was a wound, which was previously black in color.
Now it had returned to normal and she also remembered that the dart indeed had been very poisonous, and now it seemed she was really fine.
"Could it be that I really wronged this guy?" Xiao Ruolin couldn’t help but think as she looked at Xiao Yifeng.
"Now you see, I wasn’t taking advantage of you. If I hadn’t done that, you probably would have died from the poison by now. You should be thanking me," Xiao Yifeng retorted with a smirk.
"Hmph!" Xiao Ruolin glanced at Xiao Yifeng with his smug expression, snorted, and spat out: "I took that poisoned dart for you, so saving me was the least you could do."
"Tch, even without you, a mere poisoned dart wouldn’t harm me,"
Xiao Yifeng said dismissively, thinking that if a poisoned dart could take his life, he, the War Emperor, would be too pathetic.
Xiao Yifeng took off his outer garment and handed it to Xiao Ruolin, who looked at him, momentarily startled.
"If you don’t want to look indecent, you can choose not to wear it,"
Xiao Yifeng said nonchalantly.
Xiao Ruolin didn’t hesitate and quickly put on Xiao Yifeng’s clothes, thinking that maybe this guy wasn’t that bad after all.
Then Xiao Yifeng walked up to the containers, looking at the locks, his gaze sharpened, and he threw a punch.
With a loud bang that startled Xiao Ruolin, she saw the steel lock break apart under Xiao Yifeng’s punch, wondering just how strong this guy was.
Breaking the lock, Xiao Yifeng quickly opened the container to reveal the scene inside, but what Xiao Ruolin saw made her furious.
Inside the container, there were about twenty young girls crouched down, with faces full of despair, sitting there, emanating a sense of misery.
"These damn scumbags!"
Xiao Ruolin cursed vehemently and entered the container, with the girls looking at her, fearfully startled.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m a police officer, you’re safe now, we’ll send you back home soon,"
Xiao Ruolin said patiently to the girls.
Xiao Yifeng also went inside and led the girls out one by one, checking that they were all right.
"Big sister, big brother, thank you!"
A young girl with a plain and pure appearance looked up at Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Ruolin with gratitude in her watery eyes.
"You’re welcome. Just forget about this incident once you get back and start a new life!"
Xiao Yifeng comforted the girl.
"Okay!" The girl nodded, etching Xiao Yifeng’s face deep into her memory.
In less than ten minutes, there were sounds of yachts approaching.
One after another, yachts headed toward the cargo ship, all carrying police officers, and one of them was filled with members of the Azure Dragon Squad.
As the yachts drew closer, they rushed onto the cargo ship, and upon seeing Xiao Ruolin and others, they all visibly relaxed, even the city police chief Luo Guanzhong was present.
"Mr. Xiao, are you all right?"
Luo Guanzhong eagerly inquired about Xiao Yifeng.
"I’m fine; all the treasure is here, and these twenty girls were also captured by the Japanese. Those on the dock and on this ship are all together, and some are from the Ishii Clan who jumped into the sea and fled," Xiao Yifeng reported.
"We really owe Mr. Xiao a debt of gratitude this time. If that treasure had left China on my watch, I would probably have to retire early," Luo Guanzhong said, looking at Xiao Yifeng with heartfelt thanks.
