Chapter 4008: Chapter 4008: Sister Nian and Her Group Caught Up

Di Xicheng realized this, and his previous good mood vanished. His fingertips grasped the cold railing tightly.

But this couldn’t ease his violently pounding heart.

"Is it Qiao Nian?" His face turned ugly.

Compared to Qiao Nian, he would rather hope it was Lu Zhi’s men catching up, at least he still had room for negotiation with Lu Zhi.

If it was Qiao Nian... he wouldn’t even have the chance to negotiate!

Di Xicheng didn’t have time to ponder deeply before reality slapped him hard.

He watched with wide eyes as a familiar figure appeared on the approaching speedboat, a burly man nearly six foot three exposed his tattoo-covered arm, bold and hearty.

Di Xicheng had stayed in the illegal zone for a while and excelled at collecting information, so naturally, he knew who that man was.

—Tattoo Arm from the Red Alliance.

His last trace of fantasy was ruthlessly shattered.

The person chasing him was indeed Qiao Nian.

Di Xicheng immediately turned around, with a cold face, and walked quickly towards the cabin inside.

He needed to hurry, to hurry even more...

If he seized the chance, he could dive into the sea like last time in the Continent M waters, hide, and wait for a chance to be rescued.

"Hey."

He was walking with his head down, suddenly grabbed by the arm.

"Where are you going?"

Di Xicheng raised his head and saw that the person holding him was the rough man who had previously invited him to eat on the deck, his eyes flashed, and he hadn’t had time to think of an excuse.

The other party furrowed his brows, looked at him cautiously with a stern expression and said, "I felt something odd about you since earlier! Come with me to see the captain!"

"No..." Di Xicheng’s throat squeezed out a broken syllable, too late to refuse.

"There’s something off about you." The other party, with great strength, pulled him inside: "I saw you looking sneaky, you must come with me to see the captain first."

"Let go!"

"No way. You need to come with me to see the captain."

Di Xicheng couldn’t break free from the iron grip holding him, blood rushed to his throat in anger, his eyes nearly bulged out.

He didn’t expect to pay the price so quickly for just a moment of happiness on deck.

Moreover, this man’s strength was particularly great.

He couldn’t struggle free from the man’s grip and had to be dragged forward.

Di Xicheng tried hard to force himself to calm down, attempting to reason with the other party: "Let me go first, I have urgent matters."

However, the man was stubborn, not buying his eloquent reasoning, held him tighter, and even came up with:

"You surely have issues!"

"..." This lunatic!

Di Xicheng almost spat out the blood stuck in his throat.

He watched himself miss the best escape time, veins popping on his temple, entirely speechless from the anger.

**

Most people on the ferry were drawn to the speedboat fleet chasing them.

Even the captain was alerted.

Everyone was gathered to urgently discuss countermeasures.

There are many risks at sea.

Besides careful of the extreme weather, their biggest fear was encountering this group of ’sea bandits’. Plus, recently, there were frequent rumors of Tian Chen’s cargo ships being robbed by pirates, the captain feared these pirates were ruthless, and they would be targeted before even leaving the illegal zone waters...

Di Xicheng was dragged inside forcefully.

The discussion inside was fervent.

"Let’s turn the ship around and go back."

"Your idea won’t work. Our ship’s speed isn’t as fast as theirs. Didn’t you hear there are several speedboats closing in?"

"What do you suggest then?"

"Captain, we should make a distress call! Have someone come and rescue us."
