Chapter 1234: 1231
Even the searchlights atop the lighthouse seemed brighter than ever before!
It was at this moment that a car came speeding along!
“Are you sure I can get through?”
Dressed in disguise, Jin Lisi looked at the surrounding armed soldiers, her heart trembling with fear, knowing that once on the ship, if discovered, she’d be nothing more than a sitting duck.
At sea, a vessel caught under artillery fire could only end in disaster.
The sea tonight appeared calm, yet beneath this tranquility lurked currents capable of dragging one to certain death!
Should the ship sink, not even if God himself arrived, would there be any hope of escaping these waters!
“You can choose not to board the ship!”
Vivian Li gave her a glance, devoid of any intent to explain.
“You…” Jin Lisi, on the verge of fury, suddenly turned around.
But seeing Vivian Li by her side, still indifferent, she could only clench her teeth and hold back her anger.
“I’ve already arranged for you, once you reach Cosmic Nation, you can directly board a private jet to the Eastern Alliance!”
Vivian Li, who had seemed finished with the conversation, once again spoke leisurely, providing an offer Jin Lisi found irresistible.
There was no reason not to fall for it.
What Oliver Walker planned to do was of no concern to her.
As soon as Jin Lisi boarded the ship, her mission would be complete.
“I choose to trust you this time!”
Jin Lisi, at her wit’s end, still replied stubbornly.
But Vivian Li paid her no mind!
As the car approached the dock, it was stopped by a barrier!
An officer came over, sternly saying, “Turn off the engine, get out, and submit to the inspection!”
The captain of the Li family’s guard hurriedly said, “Captain Bai, it’s me!”
“Do you even need to inspect our young miss’s car?”
Leroy, dressed in a military uniform and unsmiling, said, “You’re aware that it’s a sensitive time. Duty compels me; I have to follow the rules, even if it were the national advisor’s car, I wouldn’t make an exception!”
Quickly, a squad of soldiers raised their weapons, aiming at the million-dollar Rolls-Royce Phantom with grave seriousness.
Even though they all knew who was a dangerous person inside, there was no hint of fear.
Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn’t take action.
Everything was a performance, all to alleviate Jin Lisi’s concerns.
If there had been no obstruction, with Jin Lisi’s keen senses, would she have obediently boarded the ship?
She surely would have sensed something was off!
“Hmph…”
Vivian Li gracefully exited the car, taunting, “I heard from my people that shipping out has been difficult lately; I didn’t expect it to be true.”
“If you inspect every car, how much time will you waste?”
As she spoke, she also made sure to run her hand across Leroy’s chest, deliberately making a seductive gesture.
But to her surprise, Leroy gave no face at all, grabbed Vivian Li’s wrist directly, and said coldly, “Special period, don’t look for trouble!”
Jin Lisi saw everything clearly, especially Leroy’s upright expression, making it all seem like no act.
Particularly, the anger in Vivian Li’s eyes that simmered down for some reason seemed utterly authentic.
This made Jin Lisi’s guard drop significantly!
“Hmph…”
“Check, check, check… then go check!”
Vivian Li defiantly pulled out her ID and threw it into Leroy’s hands, “You little shit, you hurt me.”
“I’m telling you, I know your national advisor, and we’re quite close. If it comes to it, I’ll have him demote you on the spot!”
Leroy didn’t react, checking the ID seriously, and after finishing, his eagle-like gaze suddenly shifted to Jin Lisi, “Yours?”
