Chapter 324 Arrival at the Red Shark Headquarters
It took them a while to recover from the pain.
"What should we do now? Should we just go back?"
Xie Yushu slowly sat up, gasping for breath.
He didn't dare to show his face when Xu Yong was there, for fear that Xu Yong would notice that he was the one who abducted his daughter-in-law.
"Let's go back to town for the night first, and pick up the old man tomorrow morning so we can go together."
Wei An's mission this time is to bring the old master back.
This old leader has been out of the business for many years, and they only managed to find him after several days of hard work.
He worried that the old man was just paying lip service to them and wouldn't go back after they left.
If they go back to the gang, they'll still be in deep trouble.
"Alright! Let's go to town and stay for the night."
Xie Yushu struggled to his feet and limped away from the southwest beach.
"I said, you didn't hurt your leg, so why are you walking like that?"
Wei An followed behind, somewhat puzzled, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, afraid of being discovered by the patrolmen.
"My chest hurts, it hurts to stand up straight! I can only walk like this."
Even standing up slightly will cause a pull.
The darkness concealed the deathly pallor on Xie Yushu's face.
If I had known this old man was so capable, I should have let Wei An come alone.
Now look what happened, I got beaten up for no reason.
"You really are useless. Just as I thought! A scholar is utterly useless."
Wei An said helplessly, and went forward to carry the person on his back.
……
At 1:15 AM the next day, just as the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, Wei An and Xie Yushu's small boat was already moored in the rocky area outside Wanghai Island.
The sea fog was so thick it couldn't be dispersed, and the lantern hanging at the bow of the ship cast a dim, yellowish light in the fog, like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the air.
Do you think the old man will come?
Xie Yushu rubbed the dew off his arms, his voice kept very low.
His voice was muffled, muffled by the cloth covering his face.
"I've given the signal, let's wait a bit longer."
Wei An was munching on a shrimp cake, and there were no food stalls on the dock at this time.
I can only eat simple food.
"I said, is your face so shameful that you cover it up everywhere you go?"
Wei An lay on the small boat and rubbed his foot against Xie Yushu. The man had a deep and long scar on his face, which looked rather frightening.
But among the brothers in the gang, there were many with scars on their faces, and none of them hid them like he did.
"Never mind! I like it."
Xie Yushu snorted coldly, glanced at the shrimp cake in his hand, and snatched it away.
It's not that he's ashamed to be seen by others.
This was because he was afraid Xu Yong would see his face.
Wei An shook his head, his gaze fixed on the fog.
Suddenly, a hunched figure appeared on the reef, treading the waves as if on flat ground.
Xu Yong changed his clothes today, replacing his coarse cloth short jacket with indigo-colored arrow sleeves, and tied a black rhinoceros horn belt around his waist. The three gold rings on his right ear still dazzled in the morning mist.
The most eye-catching thing was the ebony pipe he held in his hand, which was as black as ink, except for a piece of blood jade embedded in the bowl, which swayed slightly with his steps.
Xu Yong squinted at the two men, his voice hoarse as he said, "What are you doing here? I remember telling you not to come to the island again. Didn't you hear me?"
"Boss, please don't misunderstand, we didn't go ashore. We're waiting for you outside the island."
Wei An hurriedly explained, forcing a stiff smile as he cautiously looked at the old man in front of him, afraid that he might really lose his life here.
Xie Yushu fell silent, like a sea turtle hiding in its shell, afraid of being discovered.
"go!"
Xu Yong jumped onto the deck, and the small boat rocked several times under the force.
The boat moved slowly in the thick fog.
When the three arrived at Snake Tail Island, where the Red Shark headquarters was located, the setting sun had already dyed the seawater crimson, which was quite dazzling.
Wei An steered the small boat closer and pointed to the stone steps carved into the cliff face in the distance: "Old Master, the Hall of Gathering Righteousness is just up here."
Xu Yong looked up and saw twelve dark masts standing on both sides of the stone steps, each topped with a set of dried bones.
The carcass in the very center looked exceptionally fresh, and several crows were scrambling to eat the rotting flesh.
Despite his long years of retirement, his relationship with Red Shark has never been severed, but this is his first time visiting the new headquarters.
Over the years, positions have changed, and many of the brothers from before have died.
"The rules haven't changed."
Xu Yong sneered, the gold earring on his right ear jingling as he climbed higher.
At this moment, the Hall of Gathering Righteousness was brightly lit with candles.
Twenty-eight leaders sat in rows on both sides, with a burly man with a face full of scars sitting in the main seat, his left eye covered by a black leather eye patch.
It looks very intimidating.
This person is none other than Chen Hu, the current leader of the Red Shark Gang.
He was fiddling with a jewel-encrusted dagger when he realized someone had entered. He glanced at Xu Yong and, startled, dropped the dagger on the table with a clatter.
"Yong...Master Yong?"
The room erupted in uproar.
Several older leaders suddenly stood up, while the younger ones looked at each other curiously at the person in the middle of the hall.
They had all heard the legend of the Red Shark and imagined him to be a tall and mighty man, but they never expected him to be such a skinny old man.
Xu Yong did not respond, but stood in the middle of the hall and looked around.
The conditions have improved as a result; we wouldn't have had these conditions before!
It seems that Chen Hu is much better than his father.
He was about to continue walking forward when someone stepped forward to stop him, but he froze on the spot with a single look.
His eyes were like a poisoned dagger, sending chills down your spine.
"Chen Hu? Chen Sha's son?"
Xu Yong spoke in a calm tone as he slowly walked to the main seat.
Chen Hu stood aside and respectfully gave up the main seat.
"Brother Yong, Chen Sha is my father. You even held me when I was a child."
Xu Yong raised his eyes and gave a soft "hmm". Chen Sha was about the same age as him and died not long after he seized the gold ship more than ten years ago.
