Xie Yushu looked at the person in the portrait and suddenly laughed.
"Are you sure this person is the old boss?"
Wei An glared at him, carefully folded the portrait, and stuffed it back into his bosom.
"This is a portrait from more than 20 years ago. I was still quite young then, but I'm old now. However, my bone structure hasn't changed."
The rain slanted down, and a thin layer of water accumulated on the bluestone slabs of the dock, reflecting the gloomy sky.
The rain pattered against the tarpaulin covering of the wonton stall, and the two men huddled under it, talking in hushed tones.
Upon hearing Wei An's affirmative answer.
"Isn't that a coincidence?"
Xie Yushu grinned, revealing two sharp teeth, and looked at Wei An's puzzled eyes, saying, "I know where the old master is now."
Wei An frowned: "How did you know? Did you know the old leader before you joined the gang?"
His eyes held a hint of speculation as he immediately thought of how Xie Yushu had gained the favor of the current leader shortly after joining the gang and quickly earned prestige within the organization.
Could he be one of the old boss's men?
Wei An thought to himself.
Xie Yushu curled his lip in disdain: "I just know that he lives on Wanghai Island, an island near Ping'an Town."
Upon hearing this, Wei An quickly took out a nautical chart to check the location.
It was indeed near Ping'an Town. He had only heard of this place, but had never been there.
But who doesn't know the fame of Wangdao Island? It happens to be located at a key point on the maritime trade route.
Pirates frequently appear in that area.
But for some reason, Red Shark never went there even once.
If the old master really is from the island, then it makes sense that Red Shark wouldn't go there to rob people.
"What? Should I take you straight to the island to look for it?"
Wei An lowered his eyes and hesitated: "This might not be a good idea! The old master hasn't contacted us. What if we just go straight to his door and anger him, and he takes our lives..."
Although the old master had retired, the impression of his bad temper was still deeply etched in his mind.
Apart from the current leader and second leader, there is no one in the gang who is not afraid of the old leader.
"Are you still waiting?"
Xie Yushu tapped the table impatiently: "You don't even know how many days it's been since you hung the token at the dock and no one came to pick it up. Maybe the old master doesn't even want to see us!"
"It's not feasible to go to the island rashly..."
Wei An was about to refuse on his first instinct, but Xie Yushu couldn't help but roll his eyes at his hesitation.
"If this drags on any longer, that important thing you mentioned might really be gone!"
Xie Yushu lowered his voice, a ruthless glint in his eyes, "If the chief finds out that you knew where the old chief was but didn't go looking for him, wasting time for nothing, do you think the chief will forgive you?"
Wei An stared intently at Xie Yushu.
[This brat seems so fearless, could he really have a close relationship with the old master? Otherwise, how could he be so bold as to go directly to the old master?]
He was silent for a moment, then looked up at the sky: "How about we wait for the rain to stop before we go?"
Xie Yushu smiled upon hearing this: "We'll go as soon as the rain stops."
As they were talking, a figure approached from the rain. Xu Yiyi was carrying a small basket of fresh silver fish, her hair dripping with water, and she passed by the wonton stall with a calm expression.
Xie Yushu subconsciously lowered his head and buried his face in the shadows.
Wei An saw his movement, turned his head to look over, and quietly placed his hand on the short knife at his waist.
Xu Yi glanced at it, but didn't even stop walking, heading straight for his own restaurant.
The wooden door to the backyard creaked shut, shutting out the rain.
Xie Yushu then raised his head and spat, "What a damn bad luck."
Wei An stared at the restaurant sign in the distance, rainwater meandering down the four characters of Wufu Restaurant.
"What grudge do you have against this owner? Why do you get so angry every time you see her?"
Wei An couldn't help but feel curious about this.
Mind your own business.
After he finished speaking, the two looked at each other in silence.
As the rain subsided, the two got up and left the wonton stall, walking along the dock towards the boat berth.
Xie Yushu said in a low voice as they walked, "There is a large reef area on the outer edge of Wanghai Island. That place is very strange. The tide changes several times a day, and it is difficult for people who are not familiar with the area to get ashore."
Wei An chuckled: "You seem to know a lot about this. What? Do you go there often?"
"What's it to you? Why are you such a gossip, a grown man like you? Asking all sorts of questions..."
Xie Yushu snorted coldly, getting very angry just thinking about what happened before.
And that bitch, Zhanjilan, dared to betray him.
Once he finds her, he will definitely take revenge.
Xie Yushu took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
……
Their small boat was hidden in the most secluded corner of the dock, its hull painted a dark green, blending in with the seaweed in the water.
From a distance, you couldn't tell there was a ship there at all.
Wei An deftly untied the mooring rope, and Xie Yushu jumped onto the boat, watching him pull out an oilcloth bag from the bottom of the hold, inside which was a short crossbow smeared with poison.
"Isn't this unnecessary?"
Xie Yushu frowned, thinking to himself that this person was being too cautious.
"in case."
Wei An tucked the short crossbow into his back waistband: "Who knows what kind of temper the old master has now?"
To be honest, Wei An was really unsure of himself, after all, the old master was known for his ruthlessness.
The oars cut through the murky water, and the dock gradually disappeared behind us.
The sea was rough and gloomy after the rain, making people feel uneasy.
……
"You didn't even bring an umbrella when you came back, how did you get so wet?"
Ah Rong rushed out of the kitchen. In the dim light, Xu Yiyi's soaked clothes clung to her body, and water dripped from her hair, forming a small puddle at her feet.
Steam rose from the hot water in the wooden tub. Xu Yiyi let out a comfortable sigh and submerged herself in the hot water until her fingertips were wrinkled from being soaked.
Ah Rong was still nagging outside, telling Yun Niang to make the ginger soup stronger; her voice buzzed through the door.
Those two people are acting strangely.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
Under the oilcloth awning of the wonton stall, the scar on the neck that was visible when the person looked down looked like Xie Yushu!
Water droplets cascaded back into the bucket like a waterfall as she suddenly stood up, leaving a water stain on the ground.
"all?"
Ah Rong pushed open the door with a dry cloth in hand, only to find the bathtub empty.
Because of the rain, there were few people at the chicken soup wonton stall at the dock, and the stall owner, Liu Lang, sat on a chair sighing.
Xu Yi stepped into the puddle and walked straight in.
"Mr. Xu? Are you here for wontons?"
Liu Lang sat up abruptly, just about to lift the lid to cook the wontons.
"I don't eat wontons. Where are the two people who were eating wontons here just now, Mr. Liu?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lang stopped what he was doing and sat back down in his chair.
"Oh, you mean those two? They left, they left as soon as the rain stopped."
"Where did they go?"
Xu Yiyi's tone was somewhat urgent, and Liu Lang chuckled.
"What are you saying? How could I possibly care where the guests go?"
Xu Yiyi's face darkened, and after returning to the restaurant, she hurriedly took out paper and pen to write a letter.
"what happened?"
Seeing that her expression was off, A-Yue quickly went into the room.
"I just saw Xie Yushu."
Xu Yiyi's tone was full of regret: "It was raining heavily on the way back, and I only glanced at him casually without paying attention. I just remembered to chase after him, but he was already gone."
A-Yue sat on the bed, lost in thought.
"The Red Shark's people come here frequently, they must be someone important."
A-Yue immediately stood up and looked at what Xu Yiyi had written.
She simply wrote down the details of the matter, and finally asked about Lin Ke's injuries.
We hope the operation to suppress the bandits can proceed as soon as possible! As soon as possible!
"Don't worry! My master is here, nothing will happen."
Ah Yue offered a word of comfort, stuffed the letter she had written into an envelope, and then went to the dock.
"Yi-yi! Quickly drink the ginger soup."
Ah Rong pushed the door open and brought the ginger soup to her lips.
Before she could even react, the hot ginger soup had already gone down her throat.
Aunt Rong's complexion improved after she finished drinking.
"Yiyi, Auntie has a few words to say to you..."
Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then A Rong spoke.
