CHAPTER 860: CHAPTER 835:

Li Ruo had been looking for an opportunity to escape all the way, but unfortunately Captain Kong was constantly on guard, leaving her with no chance to flee. Li Ruo was very anxious inside, wishing she could escape now. Unfortunately, there was simply no opportunity for her to do so.

"Let’s go! Prepare to board the ship!" Captain Kong immediately said.

Just at this moment, a group of patrolling American police officers came over, traveling in threes, chatting and laughing as they patrolled around. They paid no attention to the crowd hiding in a corner. Meanwhile, on the pitch-black sea, the long and short flashing lights vanished. As Captain Kong and the others were about to set off, they held their breath, relieved that they hadn’t gone out, or they would have been discovered.

It was an extremely dangerous moment for Captain Kong and the others, but for Li Ruo, it was a perfect opportunity to escape. Li Ruo was sweating with anxiety, her eyes darting around. She was desperate to alert those police officers but didn’t know how to do it.

Bang...

Just as the police officers were about to walk away, Li Ruo came up with a clever plan in her anxiety, using her high heel to kick the container hard. The heel struck the metal, producing a loud crashing sound. Captain Kong was taken aback and immediately grasped Li Ruo’s legs, gritting his teeth and saying, "Bitch, if you dare move again, I’ll chop off your legs!"

"Um um..." Li Ruo struggled furiously, making muffled sounds, which left Captain Kong momentarily stunned. A black-clothed man nearby immediately covered Li Ruo’s mouth and nose, and silence returned to the darkness.

Li Ruo’s efforts were not in vain; that kick had indeed alerted a few police officers. Three police officers gripped their guns and carried flashlights, heading towards where Captain Kong and the others were hiding. Captain Kong gasped, and immediately said to the guide, "You go deal with them!"

"Yes, big brother!" The guide worked at this dock, so he was somewhat familiar with these police officers. Although the shipping company repeatedly prohibited employees from entering here after work, risking breaking a rule once to save the Doomsday Family’s plan seemed worth it. So, he immediately went out, unzipped his pants, and took out his thing.

"Don’t move!" The three police officers pointed their guns at the man, and high-power flashlights blinded him.

"No, no shooting, it’s me!" The man immediately raised his hands, saying, "I’m an employee of the company!"

"It’s you?!" The police officers were stunned, frowned, and said in astonishment, "What sneaky thing are you doing here? Are you trying to steal company property?"

"No, no, it’s not like that!" The man immediately shook his head, nervously emptying his pockets to prove his innocence, he said anxiously, "I haven’t, I just left something here during the day, so I came back to look for it but haven’t found it!"

"Really?" the police officers asked, puzzled.

"Yes, absolutely true!" The man quickly nodded.

"Don’t you know the company rules that after work this area is under police control? This is an important area; leave immediately, or I’ll shoot!" The police officer threatened, waving his gun. The man, frightened, turned and ran, shouting as he did, "Don’t shoot, I’m leaving!"

"Haha..." Watching the man’s panicked manner, the police officers seemed to enjoy some amusement from him, laughing and saying, "Look at him, scared like that?"

"Haha, I bet when he goes back he’ll dive into his wife’s arms!" Another police officer laughed, and the officers chatted and laughed as they walked to another patrol point. In the darkness, Li Ruo was almost suffocated by the man’s grip; during those few minutes, the man left only a tiny gap for her. Li Ruo almost suffocated to death.

"If you dare mess around again, I won’t guarantee I won’t chop off your beautiful legs! Got it?!" Captain Kong threatened.

"Mm-hmm!" Li Ruo quickly nodded; if she didn’t agree, she feared being suffocated. At Captain Kong’s command, the man loosened his grip, and for the first time, Li Ruo felt that living was wonderful and the air was so fresh. She breathed in the fresh air deeply, carried by the freshwater lake, feeling that living was a driving force.

Failing to seek help the first time made Li Ruo feel extremely frustrated. It turned out American police weren’t as strong as portrayed on TV. Though powerful on the outside, they lacked brains, unlike slightly smarter police officers, such as those in China. They would search the corners before leaving. Li Ruo was thoroughly disappointed with the American police.

"Let me tell you, even an immortal can’t save you now!" Captain Kong sneered coldly.

"I, I won’t run anymore!" Li Ruo felt calm and replied coolly.

Now, running seemed almost impossible. Once on the opponent’s pirate ship, there was no turning back. Although perhaps there was still a glimmer of chance on the sea, Li Ruo decided not to fight for survival anymore. She chose to face it calmly, even if Captain Kong forcibly took her body, she would not dodge, as long as her soul did not betray, that was enough.

"Hurry, get on the boat!" Kong Haoran waved his hand and said.

Whoosh...

A few people lifted Li Ruo up and rushed frantically towards the approaching boat. Kong Haoran used the flashlight on his phone to signal, two long and two short flashes, repeated three times. The other party responded immediately, and soon, the faint sound of a motor could be heard. A yacht slowly approached the dock.

The four people quickly boarded the boat successfully.

On the boat were three men in black, one was responsible for steering, and the other two held rifles to provide cover on the deck. After Kong Haoran and the others boarded, the police seemed to have noticed something unusual at the dock, perhaps alerted by the engine sound. Soon, the three patrolling officers hurried to the scene and blew their whistles.

"Not good, we’ve been discovered, go quickly!" Kong Haoran immediately shouted.

"Pull up the gangway!" The man steering the boat shouted as he started to leave the port. One of the armed men rushed up and pulled back the gangway at the bow, while another armed man fired at the police. A black officer was killed on the spot.

"You bastard, who told you to shoot?" Kong Haoran roared in anger: "By shooting, aren’t you telling them our position? In no more than three minutes, a large number of police will definitely come for backup!"

"Yes, yes, my mistake!" The armed man hastily replied.

The two officers on shore quickly used their radios to call for backup and an ambulance. The ambulance came wailing all the way, and the doctor got off to check the shot officer, finding that the policeman was already dead. The captain was furious, gritting his teeth as he said, "No matter what, we must catch that bunch of bastards!"

"Yes!" The police officers also mobilized, deploying police yachts and patrol ships.

"Have the command center dispatch two armed helicopters to join the battle!" The on-site commander was a man resembling a big ape, with broad shoulders and a stout waist, standing over two meters tall, with a build akin to a basketball player.

"Yes!" The officers mobilized.

Police lights flashed, sirens blared, and the once dark sea area instantly became lively. Two armed helicopters with several bright lights illuminated the sea, turning it bright. A pursuit was unfolding on the sea surface.

Faced with so many police, Kong Haoran was dumbfounded, shit, these US police are indeed not to be messed with. Although they seem slow-witted, their efficiency is extremely high, capable of gathering a large force and deploying various advanced weapons in a short time. Kong Haoran urged, "Speed up, we can’t let them intercept us in the US waters, or we’re finished!"

"Don’t worry, Captain Kong, with me here, they won’t catch us!" The yacht driver was a veteran in this lake, having lived on Manitoulin Island his whole life, extremely familiar with the lake and every unnamed islet. Escaping these well-equipped yet unfamiliar-to-the-lake police wasn’t difficult.

Rumble...

The yacht’s engine roared violently, almost overturning the boat. The yacht had been modified, with the propulsion propeller changed to a dual propeller system. One propeller pushed from the rear, and another large propeller was mounted at the bow. The yacht’s engine had also been replaced. Usually, only the rear propeller was in use, but in emergencies, both propellers would start, doubling the speed.

"Everyone, hold on!" The driver laughed heartily, and the yacht sped across the water. Kong Haoran and the others clearly felt the speed increase suddenly, he asked in astonishment, "What’s going on?"

"Captain Kong, the boat’s been modified with dual propellers, strong power, definitely surpasses the police yachts, so rest assured, we’ll safely reach Manitoulin Island." A gun-bearing man chuckled nearby.

"That’s good!" Kong Haoran breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, with sufficient power, the police yachts were left far behind. Kong Haoran watched as the police yachts disappeared from his sight, unable to contain his delight, exclaiming, "Damn, this is exhilarating, just like racing!"

Rumble...

When passing by an island, suddenly, two helicopters appeared in their sight, with bright lights continuously locked onto Kong Haoran’s yacht. The two men with rifles raised their guns and shot wildly at the helicopters, laughing crazily, "Haha, go to hell, stay with God forever!"
