Chapter: 5447

Several people followed Zhang Qian Shuo into the captain's room, where he locked a thick door tightly behind him, then took out a bottle of strong liquor, poured several cups, and handed them to the people in front of him. He then said, "You all have worked with me for many years, and today we can die together as well - it's fate. This cup is our token of camaraderie!"

The people present at this time also regarded death as a homecoming, nodded heavily, and took the cups.

Zhang Qian Shuo and several people clinked their cups, raised their heads to drink the strong liquor, then picked up the detonator and pressed it without hesitation.

Two muffled sounds suddenly echoed through the cargo hold, and two large holes with a diameter of about one meter were blown open at both the bow and stern of the ship.

A massive amount of seawater rapidly flooded into the hull, and the freighter began to sink at an extremely fast rate.

However, there was no panic on board at this moment.

Because aside from those few people, all other people were asleep in various compartments, and Zhang Qian Shuo had deliberately added special medication to their food and drinks, causing them to fall asleep simultaneously.

Now, everyone was trapped in each compartment.

The chaotic influx of seawater did not awaken these people; they gradually suffocated to death in their sleep.

Soon, the seawater began to flood into the captain's room, where Zhang Qian Shuo viewed death as a homecoming and sat down with the others. They waited until the water flooded the entire compartment.

Twenty minutes later, this 8,000-ton freighter had completely sunk beneath the waves.

Thanks to prior preparation work, aside from creating a whirlpool on the surface of the sea, the freighter left behind no other trace; the whole ship sank like a massive prison into the depths of the ocean...

In the middle of August in Jinling, the weather was unusually hot.

Recently, Ye Chen has been busy urging Hong Wu to renovate the Xiangxi Lü Hotel and hasn't asked about the Middle East or Breakthrough meetings.

As for this period, Ye Chen also didn't have time to bother with Hong Changqing.

However, Hong Changqing was very enthusiastic. He had his chief disciple from America flown in to give him a formal transmission ceremony before Ye Chen, to completely sever ties with Taizhen Sect and devote himself fully to Ye Chen from then on.

At this moment, Hong Changqing was anxiously waiting at the entrance of Jinling International Airport.

His flight was already 30 minutes late.

Just when Hong Changqing was getting impatient, the airport's large screen finally updated flight information, showing that his own flight had arrived.

Another 30 minutes passed before passengers from this flight began to exit the airport.

Hong Changqing's eyes lit up as he eagerly looked forward. When he saw a tall woman with long hair and waist-length black hair among the crowd, a smile finally reappeared on his face, beaming with joy and saying, "Dragon Girl, my master is here!"

The tall woman, with a height of around 1.7 to 1.8 meters, had long flowing hair and long legs, exuding an air of classical elegance that transcended the mundane.

This was none other than Hong Changqing's direct disciple, Dragon Girl.

At thirty years old, Dragon Girl was the daughter of a US-based Chinese man and a half-American woman. Her father, who was once a renowned disciple of Hong Changqing, had been recognized for his exceptional abilities in martial arts when he was young.

Although Dragon Girl didn't have any extraordinary talent in martial arts or spiritual practices, she had an innate ability to make money, which impressed Hong Changqing so much that he decided to sponsor her studies at the Tai True Way. JrNovels.com
