Dealing with Jiang Chen is just a trivial matter, but the big one will come later.

Of course, An Ruqiao would not go into danger alone with her bare hands. She had already negotiated cooperation with the people above her whom Xie Jingchen had contacted, and of course she would get the help she deserved.

She was equipped with a locator, a micro-monitor, a real-time headset, and all kinds of gadgets. She was even equipped with firearms and other self-defense equipment.

However, the firearm only has six rounds of ammunition, and it might be confiscated when boarding the Pearl.

Putting aside these small details, An Ruqiao, who was fully armed, was already in the car heading to the port of K City.

After a lot of things happened, it was already nighttime.

The weather is not very good, there is a light fog or haze.

A dedicated driver drove An Ruqiao to the destination. On the way, An Ruqiao looked at her phone and saw that it was past one in the morning.

It was completely dark, there were no night market stalls on the road, and there were almost no pedestrians in sight.

An Ruqiao's cell phone was playing the footage from the live broadcast room, in which the water level had spread to Cao Jingwen's calves.

The whole foot was soaked in the cold water. The little girl who was still crying and struggling before was now motionless. She was probably in shock.

An Ruqiao is not a fairy. She is already doing her best, but the time on the road still cannot be skipped. At most, the driver can drive faster and shorten this time slightly.

From City L, to City K, and then to the port of City K, the two-and-a-half-hour drive was reduced to one hour and fifty minutes by the driver.

When she arrived at the port, Cao Tingyang was waiting for her.

The police have figured out the location of the Pearl and will send An Ruqiao aboard by speedboat later.

Cao Tingyang was very anxious. During the two hours he waited, apart from deploying police boats and speedboats, he spent the rest of the time staring at the live broadcast room.

Now, the water level has risen to Cao Jingwen's chest, and her body floats a little along with the wooden chairs tied together.

There is no use in floating at that point. There is a lid on the fish tank. Even if it floats to the top of the fish tank, it will still drown when the water is full.

As a father, Cao Tingyang's anxiety cannot be reduced at all. I am afraid that when Cao Jingwen is rescued, he will not be completely relieved and will have to be afraid for several days.

However, no matter how bald he is with worry, no matter how anxious he is, no matter how burning his heart is, he must remain rational at this time and take over and arrange relevant matters.

He is a policeman, and now he has to obey orders from his superiors, make follow-up deployments, make plans and prepare for subsequent rescue of hostages and combating criminals.

These are his duties.

As soon as the car that picked up An Ruqiao stopped, Cao Tingyang stepped forward and opened the door for An Ruqiao.

"Hello, Ms. An."

Cao Tingyang said hello.

An Ruqiao nodded, said hello, and followed him to the seaside ferry, where the speedboat was parked with lights on, and the equipped driver was already waiting for her on the boat.

The staff came forward and put a life jacket on An Ruqiao and helped her board the boat.

Cao Tingyang just looked at her, wanting to step forward to help, wanting to urge her, but he was afraid that his actions would delay her, so he could only act in a hurry.

Finally, An Ruqiao sat firmly on the speedboat.

Just as she was about to leave, An Ruqiao heard Cao Tingyang call her.

"Ms. An, please!"

An Ruqiao looked back at him, responded seriously, and made her promise.

"I try my best."

The speedboat just went out to sea, and there were several other speedboats behind it, following them.

It's foggy at sea, and the fog is much heavier than on land.

The sea breeze accompanied by the mist filled with water vapor fell on An Ruqiao's face, making her feel a little cold.

The searchlight of the speedboat shines on the sea. The light passes through the layers of fog and falls on the pitch-black sea in the pitch-black night.

The sea surface at night is like a giant beast opening its mouth, swallowing up the light and the way forward.

An Ruqiao looked up.

It was very dark, there were no stars, and not even the moonlight could be seen.

Nothing can be seen.

The sea breeze was like a blunt knife cutting into her face, and An Ruqiao couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Is she... ready?

This time...can it succeed?

Is this the final "decisive battle"?

That little bit of unknown vulnerability was only revealed in her eyes, and then it was suppressed again.

All that remains is the determination to move forward.

The boat sailed for another hour before arriving near the Pearl.

At this time, Cao Jingwen in the live broadcast room had floated up with the water level, and only her head was still above the water.

The speedboat signaled to the Pearl, and someone on the Pearl lowered the ladder for An Ruqiao to board.

Only An Ruqiao went up alone.

In front of the giant cruise ship Pearl, the speedboats that were urgently collected were like feathers and thin leaves fluttering on the sea.

An Ruqiao boarded the Pearl.

The person who greeted her was Wang Zimu.

Wang Zimu stood with his hands behind his back, followed by many taciturn strong men.

The first time he saw An Ruqiao, Wang Zimu raised his eyebrows with interest.

"You...are An Ruqiao?"

After An Ruqiao stood firm, she heard his words and smiled at him.

"Yes, I am. So, should you let that little girl go?"

The boats waiting below also have the task of picking up the hostages.

Wang Zimu also smiled.

He glanced at An Ruqiao up and down several times and looked at it carefully.

The An Ruqiao in front of her was wearing sportswear that was easy to move around, and the long coat hid the weapons and equipment on her body.

The sea breeze messed up her hair, but it did not damage her beauty at all.

This was a very beautiful woman. Wang Zimu looked at her with admiration. After admiring her, he began to covet her.

He likes beautiful things as well as dangerous things, and even more likes things that are both beautiful and dangerous, like the snakes he raises, which are filled with shiny and bright phosphorus, but can kill people with one bite.

"Don't be anxious." Wang Zimu's heart was about to move, and he said with a smile, "She won't die now."

There is now more than an hour left before the countdown. Cao Jingwen has indeed not drowned yet, but almost her whole body is soaked in the cold water and she has lost consciousness.

An Ruqiao gave a sarcastic smile and said, "You are really the same perverts as always. You are good for nothing except torturing children."

Wang Zimu was not angry either. He waved his hand, and two of the people behind him walked forward and went to An Ruqiao's side.

"You don't mind if you search me..." Wang Zimu said with a smile.

The two big men in black didn't say a word and were about to take action.

"I still mind it."

An Ruqiao also smiled, and everyone seemed to be very friendly.

An Ruqiao observed the two big men who came, and then looked at the people following Wang Zimu in front of him. After thinking about it in his mind, he raised his arm.

"Forget it, let's search, don't go too far."

The two big men stepped forward to grope as instructed, one in front and one in back.
