LBOT-53

The two-hour boat ride arrived at an island far from the mainland.

As soon as the boat reached the shore, the three men, Xiao Zhan, Kim Joon, and Kim Yaan, took turns carrying the luggage from the boat.

After moving all the luggage, Kim Joon handed a bundle of money to the elderly captain.

As the ship sailed away, the three of them started looking around the island.

Xiao Zhan wearing a hat pressed down on his forehead frowned.

He expected a lot because it was an island, but the surrounding area is littered with garbage washed up from the sea. Starting with basins, there were various types of nets, boots, drink bottles, and waste oil containers.

An island is an island, but this is a garbage island.

“Let’s move our luggage first.”

They walked into the grass, carrying the money and provisions they had brought with them on their shoulders and hands.

There were no roads in the densely wooded forest, most likely because no one had visited in the meantime.

A small cabin appears after about ten minutes of walking through the thigh-high grass.

Despite its small size, it was capable of withstanding moderate rain and wind. When the door is opened, dust falls from behind with the old metal sound.

This long-vacated place was said to be a place where Kim Yaan’s acquaintances used to make drugs away from people’s eyes a long time ago.

He was shot dead a long time ago, but Kim Yaan remembered the place he had only visited once ten years ago.

Heaps of dust all over the place seemed to tell the story of the past.

Kim Joon opened the door and window to ventilate after placing the bags in one place.

They weren’t planning on staying long, but they wanted to clean it up while they were here.

As Xiao Zhan looked around the house, Kim Yaan tapped him on the shoulder.

“Finally, your wish came true. How do you feel? You wanted to live on an island.”

Xiao Zhan shook his arm. This is an uninhabited island, not an island. There was no fire or electricity, and he couldn’t get anywhere without a boat.

He brushed off the dust on the table with his hand. It would be better if he cleaned it.

“By the way, about that captain. Is he trustworthy?”

“He is famous for his heavy mouth. Fortunately, he didn’t forget me.”

Kim Joon chuckled.

“It’s not a look you’ll easily forget.”

“So do you brother. Don’t forget that the two of us look alike.”

“Sean. You tell me Which one of us is better?”

At Kim Joon’s words, Xiao Zhan pointed at Kim Joon without hesitation.

“Don’t lie. You are definitely on brother side!”

Kim Yaan approached and tried to choke Kim Joon, so Xiao Zhan kicked him in the buttocks to stop him.

Kim Joon smiled and tidied up his luggage while the two argued. He intended to stay here for a while until things calmed down before departing for another country.

Kim Yaan’s girlfriend left the country in advance and went into hiding, and the three of them have no plans to return to China.

Xiao Zhan pulled out the dusty items and brushed them clean. How did so many things in such a small space?

The dust rises when he hit it with a wooden stick. At this rate, he’ll die of lung disease.

It was much better after the three of them worked together to clean up. Although it was not a hotel, they will be able to sleep comfortably for the time being.

Xiao Zhan come out of the cabin after cleaning and took a look around. Because it was all green, his eyes felt fresh.

Then, he thought of Wang Yibo without realizing it.

Perhaps Yibo expected him to run away. He never imagined it would happen so soon after completing his first job. Yibo must be looking for him now with his eyes wide open as he grinds his teeth.

It wasn’t that he didn’t feel sorry at all.

However, Wang Yibo is also to blame for kidnapping him from his decent life and even forcing him to sign a contract.

He smoked a cigarette and looked up at the sky. He didn’t realize it because he was so busy, but the sunset was stunning when he looked up at the sky.

“Brother. Come out.”

As he shouted inside, Kim Joon came out and looked out. Soon after, Kim Yaan comes out.

As the sun set, the three of them stood side by side, smoking cigarettes and staring at the sky.

Everything is peaceful. It’s not as bad as they thought.

Were they having the same thoughts at the same time? The corner of their mouth, where they had been smoking, rises in the same way.

They weren’t sure if they’d have to stay for a few days, but it didn’t seem as bad as they thought. Think of it as a vacation after a long time.

They went inside to prepare dinner after they finished smoking.

Even though they cooked instant food on a portable gas burner, it tasted pretty good.

The night grew late as they enjoyed a drink and talked. When Xiao Zhan came out, it was as if the stars were pouring down.

He had been staring at the sky for a while when Kim Joon, whom he thought was sleeping, opened the door and came out.

When Xiao Zhan turned around, he handed him a cigarette.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“Just because. The stars are pretty, and the night air is nice.”

Kim Joon smiled as they both looked up at the sky. It’s beautiful.

Suddenly, a loud snoring could be heard from inside the cabin. They exchanged glances, sighed, and shook their heads.

Once Kim Yaan fell asleep, he didn’t even know if he was carried, and his snoring was so bad that kicking him was the only option.

“I’m done sleeping tonight.”

“Yeah.”

Kim Joon looks at Xiao Zhan as he smiles. There was a lot of meaning in his eyes. It had affection and worries.

“Sean.”

“Yeah?”

“Are you okay?”

“What.”

“It just… I thought you might regret it.”

Xiao Zhan frowned as he realized the meaning of the word.

Kim Joon tapped Xiao Zhan on the shoulder and went inside after he asked if that couldn’t be the case, and Xiao Zhan answered yes.

Xiao Zhan, who had been left alone, stood there disapprovingly. It’s absurd. He was relieved when he flew away from that human…

Kim Joon knew him, but he didn’t know much about him.

===

Tuk, tuk, tuk, the knife’s tip frequently hit against the table’s edge.

A man with permed hair sat in front of him, his hands tied with ropes, his face covered in blood, and his mouth covered with tape.

Yibo rubbed the knife between his fingers once before pressing it hard against the man’s neck.

The man’s throat vein bulged, and an uh, uh, sound came from his blocked mouth.

Bowen took the tape off of the man’s mouth.

The knife’s slid-down tip slashed the man’s thigh at once. Aargh. A tearful scream rang out throughout the room. When the knife was pulled out, blood gushed out.

Yibo smiled as he inserted his finger into the open wound.

Aaaaaaah! The man screamed and shook his body.

Yibo wiped his bloody hands on a towel and made eye contact with the man.

“To be honest, there is no need to make each other tired. Don’t you think so, CEO Zhou?”

The man shook his chin in pain. The man known as CEO Zhou was paid to stow away and forge passports, but no one in this world was unaware.

Wang Yibo knew that the man was involved in Xiao Zhan and Kim Yaan’s stowaway last year.

“Really, I don’t know. I don’t know anything…”

Tsk. Yibo clicked his tongue and held out his hand toward Bowen. He handed over the iron tongs, and the two men grabbed and pressed the man’s shoulders.

The man’s eyes widened. Yibo grabbed and pressed his chin. The strong grip caused his jaw to open on its own, resulting in a scream.

Yibo inserted the tongs, grabbed his tongue, and smiled coldly.

“Since you don’t seem to want to talk about it, I’ll have to make it impossible for the rest of your life.”

The man shook his head as Yibo brought a bloody knife to cut his tongue.

The subordinates behind him immediately grabbed the man’s face and fixed him.

Yibo smiled coldly as he put the knife right in front of the man’s eyes.

“Shh. I won’t pull out your tongue. Instead, I’ll cut it in half so you can still taste the food.”

The man moved his tongue as soon as Yibo smiled and placed the knife on his tongue.

Yibo couldn’t understand, but the man tried to say something. Yibo let go of his chin and looked the terrified man in the eyes.

“Are you ready to speak now?”

The man’s eyes turned red. The man pondered for a while, but soon lowered his head as if he had given up, sighed, and muttered to himself.

“I don’t know the details…”

As soon as Yibo gave the order to hold him again, the man shook his head and shouted.

“Xiji, they asked me to find a boat to Xiji! That’s it! Believe me! I wouldn’t lie!”

“Xiji?”

It’s an unexpected place. What’s there to take the boat… He turned his eyes and looked at Bowen while thinking.

Zhan once said that he trained for a while on an uninhabited island nearby during his active career. It’s the area with the most islands in China, so even if he moved from place to place, he won’t be able to find them for a while.

Bowen nodded slightly, probably thinking the same thing.

“Bowen.”

“Yes.”

“Use anything that can float, be it a boat or a helicopter.”

“I understand.”

Yibo threw the knife he was holding onto the floor and laughed. Haha, fuck. Was it an island where you barely escaped? It was ridiculous.

Yes, my darling. Enjoy your freedom to the fullest.

Because this bastard will come to see you soon.
