Chapter 1649: Chance to Escape
With the power of the Blackhawk Gang, the entire dock was under the control of Victor Rajiv. It was no wonder that the Blackhawk Gang could smuggle drugs through the dock unbridled.
A brand new motorboat was quickly tidied up and brought to the dock. Victor Rajiv had likely previously informed his men to carry out a detailed and rigorous inspection of the motorboat to prevent it from having any problems!
Now, Victor Rajiv was afraid to do something to Yang Ming, and he was even more afraid that something would happen to Yang Ming! If Yang Ming had an accident now, he wouldn’t be able to explain it. Both the Butterfly Family and Charles Family would think that he did it, and no one would listen to his complaints.
So Victor Rajiv prayed for Yang Ming’s safety. He should not encounter any accidents on his way so it would not be connected to Victor Rajiv anymore. It was also a failure for a person to reach this extent, especially for Victor Rajiv, an underworld godfather. He had never done a shameful thing like this in his life.
Since he took over the power of the Blackhawk Gang from his father, Victor Rajiv always had been the supreme existence no matter who was in front of him. This was also very much related to his status as a member of the Parliament.
But today, Victor Rajiv had to humble himself. He had to when he was trapped in an inferior situation, or else his head would be cut off.
“What are they going to do?” Chen Mengyan and Victoria were brought to the dock in the middle of the night. No one told them what was going to be done to them. There was no movement after the car stopped. Chen Mengyan was anxious.
“I don’t know,” Victoria shook her head. “But if they are going to trade us for the offenders detained by the Song Jiang Police, we don’t have to worry about them harming us.”
“Sister Meng Xi, you were involved in this because of me.” Chen Mengyan looked at Victoria apologetically. “They are targeting my dad, and you were implicated.”
Victoria hesitated. She thought this was the time to come clean to Chen Mengyan and provide her with some psychological preparation. In case there was a suitable opportunity to escape, Chen Mengyan would know in advance and cooperate with her.
Otherwise, Chen Mengyan would have some doubts about unexpected behaviors and movements.
No one was currently keeping an eye on this minivan, so it was a good opportunity to talk.
“Miss Chen, I think there are some things that I should discuss with you. There is no need to continue hiding them in this situation.” Victoria hesitated for a moment before she spoke up.
“Miss Chen?” Chen Mengyan was slightly shocked. She looked at Victoria with a little surprise. “Sister Meng Xi, what are you talking about? Why are you suddenly calling me Miss Chen?”
“Miss Chen, don’t interrupt me first. Listen to me.” Victoria made a restless gesture and then quickly said, ” I am not a relative from the mountains who work for Yang Ming. I am a trained slave boxer.”
“Ah?” Chen Mengyan listened to Victoria and looked at her in wonder. “Slave boxer? What do you mean?”
“My real name is not Chen Mengxi. Chen Mengxi is just a name that Yang Ming simply gave me. Maybe it is because he likes you so much?” Victoria looked at Chen Mengyan indifferently when she spoke until here. She perversely thought of the situation when she was seducing Yang Ming. She was a bit dissatisfied that Yang Ming didn’t take the bait, but she didn’t show it. “My real name is Victoria. Yang Ming rescued me from my real master. Then, he brought me back here.”
“Victoria… Africa…” The impact of Victoria’s words on Chen Mengyan was terrific. Yet, she knew that Victoria did not deceive her at all. So although she felt that Victoria’s words were strange, she chose to believe them, “But why didn’t you tell me before? Did you lie to me?”
Alas, Victoria’s phrase “probably because he likes you too much” made Chen Mengyan blush a little. Although it was not apparent in the dark, Chen Mengyan subconsciously lowered her head.
“Mr. Yang has offended some people. He was afraid that they would harm you, so he stationed me by your side to protect you,” Victoria said. “I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you would worry about it.”
“Offended some people…” Chen Mengyan suddenly felt that she still didn’t understand Yang Ming very much. From the beginning to the present, she had never truly understood Yang Ming. Although she thought that she had learned a lot more about Yang Ming than before, it was still the tip of the iceberg.
“Unexpectedly, those people did not come to look for you. Instead, people from the Blackhawk Gang came first,” Victoria sighed. “At that time, the people who came had pistols in their hands. I was not sure whether I could guarantee that none of you would get injured, so I could only step back and choose to come here with you.”
“Sister Meng Xi, you aren’t just simply saying these things to me at this time, right?” Chen Mengyan had not been able to fully process this explosive information. This was not a good time to handle it. There must be a reason why Victoria had revealed this to her now.
Seeing that Chen Mengyan still called her “Sister Meng Xi”, Victoria didn’t deliberately correct her anymore. A flash of joy showed in her eyes, then she said, “Yes, I couldn’t find a way to escape when they kept us in the basement. But now, there is a good opportunity!”
“Sister Meng Xi, do you mean to say that we have a chance to escape tonight?” Chen Mengyan was immediately thrilled when she heard it.
“It is possible,” Chen Mengxi nodded. “They suddenly brought us to the dock. According to my analysis, there are only two possibilities.”
Chen Mengyan raised an eyebrow, and seemed to have guessed something. “Sister Meng Xi, do you mean that they are ready to exchange hostages?”
“That is one of the possibilities,” Victoria nodded admiringly. “They picked us up from the basement in the middle of the night and brought us here. This will only happen if there is an emergency. Exchanging hostages is naturally one of the possibilities.”
“However, with my father’s temper, this is not possible,” Chen Mengyan sighed. “He wouldn’t exchange a criminal for my safety. If it was an ordinary person, Dad might do so. However, I am his daughter. He will not do it even if he is reluctant.”
From an early age, Chen Mengyan was influenced by what she saw and heard around Chen Fei. Chen Mengyan was also clear about Chen Fei’s personality and temperament. It was not possible that her father would send someone in exchange for her this time.
“Yes, I don’t have much hope for this,” Victoria nodded. “After all, it has only been a day since we were captured. Even if the Blackhawk Gang proposes the terms, the Song Jiang Police still needs to have meetings and ask for instructions from their superiors. It will take at least a week to make a decision; it can’t be so fast.”
“This is true, but sister Meng Xi, I only thought of this possibility. why else would they have taken us to the dock?” Chen Mengyan thought about it but still could not come up with an answer.
“Since it’s not a hostage exchange, why else would they bring us to the dock?” Victoria laughed. “What does the dock do?”
“Boat!” Chen Mengyan’s eyes lit up. Under Victoria’s prompts, she quickly thought of this. “Something unexpected must have happened, so they hurriedly brought us to the dock. Since it is a dock, then the next step is likely to take us away from the dock by boat! Otherwise, if it’s a place that cars could reach, why would they bring us to a dock?”
“Yes! That’s right!” Victoria agreed. “The reason why I explained my background to you first is that there is a good opportunity to escape after we get on the boat, it is a good opportunity to escape!”
Chapter 1650: The Two Women’s Scheme
“Get on the boat and escape? Sister Meng Xi, are you going to take control of the boat?” Chen Mengyan asked in surprise.
“It shouldn’t be difficult to take over a boat, and they can’t put too many men on board,” Victoria said. “I haven’t exposed my skills since the beginning. They should not be paying much attention, so it should be easy to take over the boat!”
“But Sister Meng Xi, when we were taken out of the basement into the car, wasn’t it a good chance to escape too? Only two of them were watching us. It should have been easier then, right?” Chen Mengyan suddenly thought of the previous situation and asked puzzled.
“It was not difficult to escape earlier, but where could we go?” Victoria smiled bitterly. “Ms. Chen, this is Meitena Town, the Blackhawk Gang’s nest. Neither of us can even speak Russian. Where can we escape to? We probably won’t get far before they capture us again. Instead, we would inadvertently alert the enemy!”
“That’s true. I neglected that!” Chen Mengyan smiled embarrassingly. “After we have taken over the boat, surely we can escape, right?”
“Naturally, there is a possibility, but it’s only a fifty-percent chance!” Victoria sighed. “However, even if we fail, there will be no loss. The worst result is that they will capture us again; they won’t use force against us. They are cautious in taking action, hoping to exchange us for the criminals held by the Song Jiang Police. Naturally, we are not allowed to be harmed. Before the criminals are exchanged, we are safe. Even if we take control of the boat and escape, they will only chase after us. They will not dare to attack us with weapons. This is why I intend to take this bet.”
“I hope it will be successful! Is there anything I can help you with?” Chen Mengyan was relieved after listening to Victoria’s analysis.
“There isn’t for now. I let you know in advance because I’m afraid that you will be too surprised late .” Victoria laughed. “But relax, it’s fine. Even if we fail, it’s fine. It’s not that there is no chance to go back. I believe that Mr. Yang will not sit idly by when he returns and finds that we were missing. He will definitely come to find us. I have made a clear mark near the basement where we were detained while the Blackhawk Gang was not paying attention. After seeing it, Mr. Yang will come to rescue us.”
“Yang Ming? Is he stronger than you?” Chen Mengyan vaguely felt that Yang Ming should be a bit better than Victoria, a professional underground boxer. Otherwise, how could he hire Victoria?
“Hehe.” Victoria smiled plainly. “It’s not that I look down on the Blackhawk Gang, but if Mr. Yang comes, there might not be many people left if they don’t ask for mercy!”
Chen Mengyan’s lips moved, but she didn’t ask anything else in the end. Vaguely, she noticed that Yang Ming still had a lot of secrets, but she didn’t want to know all these through Victoria. Even if she wanted to know, she had to ask Yang Ming herself.
“Don’t make a noise… the men are here!” Victoria heard faint footsteps outside the car. She made a hush gesture, and quietly told Chen Mengyan.
Chen Mengyan nodded and her face turned serious. The car window was sealed shut, so they couldn’t see outside and tell who the other party was.
“Ka-” The minivan’s door opened. Two black-shirted men with sunglasses stood in front of the door. It was the two men who were responsible for watching and guarding them.
They received an order from Victor Rajiv’s secretary to invite the two ladies onto the boat. Although they did not know what Victor Rajiv intended, they did not dare to manhandle them. They were unusually polite. “Ladies, please get down. The boat is ready, please come with us!”
After speaking, one black-shirted man led the way while the other walked together with Chen Mengyan and Victoria. They all walked toward a speedboat near the dock.
Victoria and Chen Mengyan also noticed the two black-shirted men’s attitude, but they didn’t think much. After all, the two black-shirted men were probably low-key because they did not want anything unexpected to happen as there was something urgent to deal with.
“Please get on!” The black-shirted man said to Chen Mengyan and Victoria after reaching a luxurious speedboat.
Chen Mengyan and Victoria didn’t say much. They got on the boat and went into the cabin, but strangely, the two black-shirted men did not follow. Instead, they turned around to leave. It made Chen Mengyan and Victoria feel somewhat inexplicable.
Chen Mengyan and Victoria sat in the cabin, watching the two black-shirted men leave. They were a little bit puzzled. “Sister Meng Xi, why did they leave?”
“I don’t know, who knows what they are thinking?” Victoria frowned, glanced into the cabin, and found that there was no one in it. This meant that Victoria and Chen Mengyan were alone on the ship! Who knew if there was someone in the cockpit?
“What should we do now?” asked Chen Mengyan.
“Let’s wait for a while. I’m afraid that someone will board and sail the boat. After the speedboat travels a few miles, we will take over the boat. The probability of id escaping will be higher if we do it that way. Otherwise, if we sail the boat to escape now, surrounding boats will block and recapture us before we can leave the dock,” Victoria hesitated and said. “In a while, I will hide behind the cabin door. When someone boards the ship, I will restrain him, and then wait in the cabin. While waiting for the boat to set sail, I will think of some ways to go to the cockpit to kill the steerer.”
“Okay,” Chen Mengyan nodded. She sat quietly in the cabin, intending to attract people’s attention. “How can I cooperate?”
“You will lie on the cabin chair for a while and pretend to be asleep. It will attract the attention of the person coming in. I will take action at that time,” said Victoria.
……
“Mr. Li, the speedboat is ready, and both ladies are already on board. So…” Victor Rajiv carefully told Yang Ming after hearing the secretary’s report.
“Alright. You work efficiently. It’s not five o’clock yet. It seems that you are really attentive!” Yang Ming nodded. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
In fact, although Yang Ming was far away from the minivan where Chen Mengyan was, he was relieved after watching them board the boat safely with his special abilities.
“Your subordinate won’t keep Mr. Li here any longer. Your subordinate will respectfully send Mr. Li away since he has something to do.” Victor Rajiv also did not hesitate to address himself as “Your subordinate” to Yang Ming!
He respected the butlers of the Charles family, not to mention Yang Ming who had a higher authority than them! Victor Rajiv was a wise man; he knew that he had no power to upset Yang Ming. Also, he would most probably not be able to recover from the shame he had suffered today. Victor Rajiv accepted his fate and felt that it didn’t matter anymore.
Yang Ming nodded and looked at Victor Rajiv indifferently. He then said, “Remember what I said. You should not seek me in the future, and I won’t have the intention to trouble you.”
“Mr. Li, please rest assured that I’m not someone who can’t take a hint. I will not do anything that will self-destruct the gang’s future!” Victor Rajiv was afraid that Yang Ming would not believe it, so he repeatedly promised. “Right, Mr. Li, do you want me to send a sailor to sail the boat for you?”
“No need, I can drive the speedboat by myself.” Yang Ming had already learned this skill, so there was no need for others to do it. Also, Yang Ming did not want any third-parties to be involved.
“Alright, then I wish Mr. Li a safe journey. In this part of the sea, if you encounter any patrol boats, you only need to report my name,” Victor Rajiv said flatteringly.
Yang Ming didn’t bother with Victor Rajiv anymore. He just waved his hand plainly and turned towards the speedboat.
I’m going to see Chen Mengyan soon. Yang Ming was thrilled, but he had to maintain his image in front of Victor Rajiv and others. He could only maintain the appearance of Li Muyi and board the speedboat.
However, just as Yang Ming entered the cabin, a strong wind ushered in towards him!
