Thud...Yan Mingyu was in a coma, her body limp as she fell from the cargo ship into the sea.
Almost instantly, her slender figure disappeared from sight.
Only ripples remained on the surface of the water.
"Miss Yan!"
Qin Yu's heart sank as he ran to the ship's railing, and without a thought, he jumped in after her.
Thud...
Qin Yu's figure was also swallowed by the sea.
Underwater.
Yan Mingyu slowly opened her eyes, but severe lack of oxygen made her feel delirious and her vision blurry.
Unable to control her body, she was dragged by gravity, slowly sinking deeper into the sea.
She could even see brightly colored fish swiftly swimming by.
Is this how I die?
Yan Mingyu was somewhat unwilling to accept this fate.
She seemed to see her grandfather's kind and aged face, her best friend Liu Xiaoxiao's careless smile, and Qin Yu's tough, masculine face.
It's just that she would never see these people again.
Perhaps it was for the best; death was a release.
She would no longer have to painstakingly ponder how to keep Four Seas Corporation afloat, nor how to dissolve her marriage with her husband.
She hoped that in her next life, she could be an ordinary woman with loving parents and a husband who would stand by her.
Maybe even have a pair of well-behaved, sensible children.
Heh...
It's all over!
Yan Mingyu's eyelids grew heavier and her lungs burned from the lack of oxygen.
As a smile of relief appeared on her lips, she slowly closed her eyes.
Whooosh...
The sound of desperate swimming roused Yan Mingyu, prompting her to struggle to open her eyes again.
But with no light in the water, she could only make out a dark figure rapidly approaching her.
Then, her arm was grasped by a strong and steady hand.
Dragging her, they swam rapidly toward the surface.
Before she passed out, she only saw a figure wearing a yellow delivery uniform.
It was him...
Her husband!
She hadn't expected that he would jump into the sea to save her.
However, Yan Mingyu's strength was severely depleted, and she didn't even have the energy to speak.
As a breath of fresh air barely entered her lungs, her entire being fell into complete unconsciousness.
"Miss Yan!"
Qin Yu patted Yan Mingyu's cold cheek, his face etched with concern and urgency.
"Qin Yu!"
On the deck of the cargo ship, Lu Wenrou shouted loudly, sticking her head out.
"I'm fine, my boss is unconscious, hurry and drop the ladder!"
Qin Yu waved and shouted.
"Hang in there, right away!"
Lu Wenrou found a ladder, hooked it to the railing, and let it down.
Qin Yu hoisted Yan Mingyu onto his shoulder and swiftly climbed up the ladder onto the ship.
"The ambulance should be here any minute, let's go down!"
Lu Wenrou glanced at the unconscious Yan Mingyu and said.
"Alright!"
Qin Yu carried Yan Mingyu to the other side of the railing and walked onto the dock.
Woo-woo, woo-woo...
Several ambulances raced towards them with sirens blaring.
"Hand her over to the doctors, and do me a favor, go catch Ichiro Sato!"
Lu Wenrou said.
"Right!"
Qin Yu also wanted to catch that bastard Ichiro Sato with his own hands.
Immediately, he handed Yan Mingyu over to the paramedics in the ambulance, then turned around and joined Lu Wenrou on a helicopter stationed on the dock.
Ratatat...
The helicopter soared into the air, racing towards international waters.
The previous helicopter, although it was chasing Ichiro Sato, was outpaced by the speedboat that had likely been modified for just such an escape, and was struggling to keep up.
Before long, Ichiro Sato's speedboat was nearing the international waters.
Once it reached international waters, the East Sea SWAT team would have no authority.
"This is Lu Wenrou, what's the situation up front?"
Aboard the helicopter, Lu Wenrou asked through the radio.
"Pursuing!"
The helicopter ahead replied.
"How far from international waters?"
Lu Wenrou asked.
"Less than five kilometers!"
The helicopter ahead responded.
"We must stop him before he reaches international waters!"
"Yes!"
After putting down the radio, Lu Wenrou told the helicopter pilot, "Full speed ahead!"
Ratatat...
The helicopter increased its throttle, flashing through the darkness.
"Instructor Lu, could you ask them to give me the sniper rifle?"
Qin Yu glanced at the fully-armed SWAT officer next to him holding the sniper rifle.
He knew from his time in the army that it had an effective range of over 1,000 meters.
But now that he had retired, he was no longer qualified to use firearms.
"Alright, hand him the sniper rifle!"
Lu Wenrou's department was a special unit responsible for maintaining the security of the entire Jiangchuan Province. In emergency situations, not just SWAT but even the special forces could be mobilized.
Still, the SWAT officer hesitated for a moment before asking, "Commander Lu, he is..."
"Qin Yu, formerly served in the Wolf Fang Special Forces Unit, got first place in the regional combat championship. Moreover, he's someone who can best me in a head-to-head fight!"
Lu Wenrou introduced Qin Yu.
"No problem then!"
The SWAT officer handed over the sniper rifle to Qin Yu.
"Thanks!"
Qin Yu nodded, took the sniper rifle with both hands, and expertly adjusted the scope, aiming at the speedboat on the sea.
"We are from the East Sea Armed Police, stop your boat immediately!"
Ahead, the voice from the first helicopter broadcasted the command. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
On the sea, Ichiro Sato's speedboat zipped across the water like lightning, still speeding on.
Sato's face, now visible, sported a grin of victory.
What were the East Sea Armed Police to him? They couldn't catch him, could they?
"I'm going to shoot!"
Qin Yu said slowly, his hands steadily holding the sniper rifle, finger resting on the trigger.
"Can you do it? That's almost one thousand five hundred meters!"
Lu Wenrou asked, frowning.
"Do you have a better idea?"
Qin Yu retorted lightly while watching the fast-moving speedboat through the scope.
"No."
Lu Wenrou shook her head, looking somewhat dejected.
Indeed, shooting and forcing Ichiro Sato's speedboat to stop was the only method.
But the distance was too great, and the wind on the sea could cause the bullet to deviate.
She didn't quite believe that Qin Yu, who had retired, could still hit Ichiro Sato's fast-moving speedboat from such a long distance.
"Oh...."
"Bang!"
After Qin Yu responded, he pulled the trigger.
Boom....
The speedboat's fuel tank immediately erupted into towering flames.
Putt-putt....
With its power lost, the high-speed speedboat could only spin in place.
"You....."
Lu Wenrou's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, and it took several seconds before she managed to say, "It's a pity you retired!"
"I was planning to go back to my hometown and marry my girlfriend," Qin Yu said with a complex expression.
"Dude, awesome!"
The SWAT team members beside him also gave Qin Yu a thumbs up.
Despite the long distance and numerous interfering factors, Qin Yu had hit the target with a single shot.
"Heh, lower the flight altitude a bit, I'm going down to capture him!" Qin Yu said with a slight smile.
Rat-tat-tat...
As the helicopter descended, Ichiro Sato's frustrated face became clearer under the white light's illumination.
"Damn it, I'm from the Dongyang region, you have no right to capture me!" Ichiro Sato roared furiously.
"This is Hua Country's territorial waters, you've violated our Hua Country's laws, and we have the right to capture you!"
Lu Wenrou spoke into the radio, her cold voice echoing over the sea through the loudspeaker.
"I refuse to comply; I won't be resigned. Let that guy come down and fight me one-on-one, otherwise, I'd rather kill myself than be captured by you!"
Ichiro Sato pulled out a sharp dagger from his back waist and screamed wildly.
"Qin Yu, you better not go down, it's dangerous!"
Lu Wenrou looked at the dagger in Ichiro Sato's hand and spoke with furrowed brows.
"He not only violated Hua Country's laws but also crossed my bottom line!"
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
Although Ichiro Sato would definitely face legal punishment in Lu Wenrou's hands, he had kidnapped his wife and pushed her into the sea. If Qin Yu had been a bit slower, Yan Mingyu might have already been gone.
That's why Qin Yu said Ichiro Sato had crossed his bottom line.
Before facing legal punishment, accept the sanction of "Death God" Qin Yu first!
"Then... okay! Just to be clear, if you're in danger, I'll shoot!"
Lu Wenrou nodded, then picked up the radio, "Everyone, stay alert, hold your fire for now, we want him alive!"
"Yes!"
"Kid, come down and catch me if you dare. You stinking bodyguard, are you in love with your beautiful boss? Hahaha, I got to her before you, touched all over her smooth skin!"
Ichiro Sato was still frantically provoking on the edge of his doom, trying to enrage Qin Yu into coming down to capture him, then kill Qin Yu and take him down with him before his own demise.
"You damn dog, you will pay for your actions!"
Qin Yu's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent as he grabbed the rope ladder and rapidly descended above Ichiro Sato's now powerless speedboat.
"Swoosh..."
Qin Yu let go of the rope ladder and dropped down.
"Hmph, idiot!"
Ichiro Sato wasn't the type of man to fight fair and square, waiting for Qin Yu to land and stabilize before attacking.
Seeing Qin Yu still in mid-air, Ichiro Sato stirred with the cold glint of a dagger, stabbing towards Qin Yu's calf.
"Despicable!"
The people on the helicopter cursed out loud upon witnessing this scene.
Even their fingers were on the triggers, itching to shoot this shameless enemy.
Fortunately, Qin Yu wasn't a pushover, and he had anticipated Ichiro Sato's sneak attack before he jumped.
He had secretly loosened his belt earlier, and the moment Ichiro Sato made his move, Qin Yu also tore off his belt, whipping it towards his wrist like a venomous snake.
The belt Qin Yu was using was the same one issued to him previously in the army, made of real leather, and the buckle was heavier than usual.
Smack...
Ichiro Sato instantly felt as if a rabid dog had bitten his wrist.
The pain caused his hand to tremble and the dagger veered off course, merely slicing through Qin Yu's trousers.
"Ichiro Sato, before I hand you over to them, I'll definitely chop off both your hands!"
Qin Yu shook his belt, his eyes filled with an icy glimmer.
A dragon has reverse scales, touch them and you provoke its wrath.
Previously, the reverse scale was his sister, now, it also included a wife.
"Damn it, at the charity banquet that day, I was drinking and let you take advantage, but today, it's not yet certain whose life will end!"
Ichiro Sato shook his swollen wrist, furiously roaring.
"Come on, show me all your strength!"
Qin Yu grabbed his belt with both hands, his body slightly sunk, ready for the fight.
"Ha!"
Ichiro Sato let out a loud roar, and with a flash of cold light from the dagger in his hand, he thrust it towards Qin Yu's chest.
"Swish..."
Qin Yu moved to the side to dodge and swiftly swung the belt in his hand. About one and a half meters long, it moved as flexibly as a whip in his grasp.
Smack...
An inch longer, an inch stronger.
Ichiro Sato's dagger was only thirty to forty centimeters long, and before it could make its halfway, Qin Yu's belt had already struck his temple.
"Damn..."
Ichiro Sato was in so much pain he was almost in tears, roaring in anger, the dagger in his hand became faster and more fierce.
Like a raging storm, he stabbed, slashed, cut, and sliced.
Every move was aimed to take Qin Yu's life.
Slash...
Qin Yu was careless for a moment, and his shirt was torn by the dagger, revealing a bloody mark.
Aboard the helicopter.
Lu Wenrou was intently watching the fight on the speedboat, her thin lips tightly pressed.
"This brother's close-combat skills are truly extraordinary!"
Several special police officers showed an expression of admiration.
Having military experience themselves, they naturally had respect for a strong and spirited man like Qin Yu.
"Heh, even I am no match for him!"
Lu Wenrou curled the corner of her mouth, inwardly reluctant to admit that she was not as good as Qin Yu, but in reality, Qin Yu's skills far exceeded hers.
On the speedboat.
The fight continued.
At this moment, Ichiro Sato's old face was almost turned into a pig head.
But Qin Yu was not much better off, his delivery uniform was almost reduced to rags.
The uneven wounds, at least a dozen.
"You, you must die today!"
Ichiro Sato, face twisted with insanity, actually grabbed the belt Qin Yu whipped towards him, not dodging or avoiding, and lunged forward, his dagger aimed straight for Qin Yu's heart.
He had completely lost his mind, resorting to a fight-to-the-death approach.
"Qin Yu, be careful!"
Lu Wenrou shouted loudly from the helicopter.
"Swoosh..."
Qin Yu spun his body quickly, dodging Ichiro Sato's lethal stab.
"Thump!"
A heavy fist harshly landed on Ichiro Sato's cervical vertebra.
Crack...
Darkness flooded Ichiro Sato's vision as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Ah...."
Before he could steady himself, Qin Yu snatched the dagger from his hand.
"Slash, slash..."
Two flashes of cold light passed, and Ichiro Sato let out a scream like that of a wild beast.
His pair of palms were chopped off cleanly by Qin Yu.
"Hmph!"
Qin Yu flicked the blood off the dagger, his voice cold: "This is the price for bullying my wife!"
