Chapter 1202 - 207: Escape from Certain Death
Swear in the name of your father...
Chen Qingyun was furious upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. This bastard Lin Feng was still trying to take advantage of him even at this moment; truly unaware of his impending doom!
No need for Lin Feng to admit, Chen Qingyun had already concluded that his father Chen Ming’s vegetative state was Lin Feng’s doing! Besides, even without the incident involving Chen Ming, just the grudge over Lin Feng’s severed arm gave Chen Qingyun enough reason to kill Lin Feng!
"Lin Feng, do you think I don’t dare to make a move against you?" Chen Qingyun glared at Lin Feng and asked in a deep voice.
"Not at all!" Lin Feng looked at Chen Qingyun and said seriously, "Young Master Chen, you have a fierce spirit, clearly not a coward. I know you are definitely brave enough to act! In all of Jiangzhou, I doubt there’s anyone you wouldn’t dare to touch!"
Lin Feng’s words were half true, half sarcastic, implying criticism of Chen Qingyun but also recognizing Chen Qingyun’s audacity, as there were truly few in Jiangzhou as bold as Chen Qingyun, daring to use a boat to transport white goods!
"Hmph... Consider yourself smart! Unfortunately, tonight you are destined to die here, and you won’t be able to speak anymore!" Chen Qingyun’s eyes squinted slightly as he looked strangely at Lin Feng, surprisingly feeling a bit elated inside... He hadn’t had the chance to see Lin Feng submit to him before, but today, it finally came true! This feeling was so satisfying, he was almost reluctant to take Lin Feng out immediately!
"Lin Feng, what do we do? We’re on the river with no escape route..." Ye Lin glanced at Lin Feng with a bitter smile, her voice a bit despondent.
Lin Feng understood Chen Qingyun’s mindset. He still carried a smile on his face but his eyes were nervously assessing the weapon setup on the small boats behind Chen Qingyun, silently mapping out an escape route only to dismiss it...
The firepower on the opposing boats was too strong; jumping ship would likely leave no chance to escape! Lin Feng frowned slightly, and his eyes moved to Chen Laoqi lying in the cabin, then whispered a few words in Ye Lin’s ear.
"Lin Feng, are you kidding me, you really can do it?!" Ye Lin was taken aback, finding Lin Feng’s words unbelievable.
In response to Ye Lin’s question, Lin Feng silently nodded, kissed her cheek, "Trust me!"
Chen Qingyun saw this and chuckled smugly, speaking with a hint of triumph, "Lin Feng, ah Lin Feng, too bad such a pretty girl has to die with you. Wouldn’t it be better to have her jump into the river first, while you stay on the boat? I’ll promise to spare her life and take good care of her for you... Hahaha..."
"Is that so? In that case, you really are a good person!" Lin Feng retorted sarcastically.
Ye Lin just rolled her eyes at Lin Feng silently and then whispered in his ear, "Lin Feng, if you die and I happen to survive, I will definitely avenge you, and I will never marry for the rest of my life!"
Lin Feng smiled slightly after hearing Ye Lin’s words and comforted her in a low voice, "Don’t worry, neither of us will die!"
Then, Lin Feng suddenly stood beside Chen Laoqi and said loudly to Chen Qingyun, "Then I’ll let her jump first!"
As Chen Qingyun watched in astonishment, Chen Laoqi’s figure suddenly flew out and plunged into the river...
"That’s not the girl, open fire!" Chen Qingyun ordered his men to open fire...
Immediately, the river surface was instantly covered with the sound of gunfire, and countless bullets rained down around Chen Laoqi, who was instantly turned into a sieve, with blood and flesh covering several meters of the river...
"Young Master Chen, that person seems to be Chen Laoqi..."
At this point, Mini, the blonde, blue-eyed person standing beside Chen Qingyun, nervously pointed out that it seemed they had shot the wrong person.
Chen Qingyun was stunned and, taking another look at Lin Feng’s boat, noticed Ye Lin and Lin Feng were nowhere to be seen and that the boat was slowly sinking...
It turned out that when Lin Feng threw out Chen Laoqi, he simultaneously shattered the bottom of the boat and dove with Ye Lin into the river... While Chen Qingyun and Mini were searching for them, Lin Feng had already led Ye Lin directly under Chen Qingyun’s boat...
Lin Feng and Ye Lin were both Inner Strength masters; though Ye Lin’s cultivation wasn’t very high, only Inner Strength level two, given Lin Feng’s timely warning, diving for two minutes was still manageable for her!
For a full minute with no sign of them, Chen Qingyun and his subordinates naturally assumed Lin Feng and Ye Lin had escaped far underwater, instinctively gazing into the distance, but with the dark night and no high-powered searchlights, how could they see anything far away?!
Did Lin Feng really escape like that?! Chen Qingyun was extremely unwilling, angrily shouting, "Spread out and search downstream, open fire as soon as you see anyone alive, Lin Feng must die! Die tonight!"
However, just as the helmsman was preparing to steer the boat downstream, Chen Qingyun suddenly had a thought, raised his hand, "Wait... All of you, look under your boats..."
Mini, standing beside Chen Qingyun, looked at him strangely and asked, "Young Master Chen, you don’t think those two can hold their breath underwater for over two minutes and just stay beneath the boat, do you? Impossible..."
Before Mini could finish talking, he suddenly heard the sound of intense splashing behind him, instinctively turned his head, seeing a silhouette jump directly out of the water...
This was the last scene Mini saw while conscious; before he could identify who the silhouette was, he felt a sharp pain in his throat and lost consciousness.
"Damn, they really hid at the bottom!" Chen Qingyun’s face tightened, with his Left Hand pivoting to aim at the evasive silhouette, but as soon as he moved, he felt his wrist go numb, losing all strength, and his gun fell onto the deck.
Chen Qingyun looked down to find a Silver Needle deeply embedded in his wrist... Instantly, a hint of despair appeared in Chen Qingyun’s eyes; he had only one hand and couldn’t pull out this Silver Needle!
In the next second, the soaking wet Lin Feng appeared behind Chen Qingyun, placing a short knife to Chen Qingyun’s neck.
"Young Master Chen, sorry... Tell your men to calm down for a bit!"
Using Chen Qingyun as a shield, Lin Feng smiled at the gunmen on the other boats, speaking calmly.
Chen Qingyun’s face showed an ashen expression, "Lin Feng, I really can’t win against you!"
