Stolen Love Chapter 55.2

Chapter 55 is originally divided into two parts, it was not me who made this division. The first part was more than twice the length of the previous chapters, but this one already goes back to the ‘original' length ?

"Jiao Wen, do you want to take a beating?" Those words were said coldly, but they didn't carry angriness or censure, they just served to make the listener become aware that the implicated person was very displeased.

"Let's go." Qi Mo stood up and took hold of Li Xin's waist, leading her onwards. Li Xin, who was being forced to walk forwards, glanced sideways towards Qi Mo. She didn't speak any clever words, just directly keeping up with his pace. It's better for her not to provoke Qi Mo this time, even though she definitely didn't wish to leave.

The night pa.s.sed very quickly, and the dazzling sunlight was bursting through the several barriers in the sky, pouring into the world a splendor as bright as fire. The magnificent radiance of the daybreak s.h.i.+ned on the surface of the sea, with the sunlight and shade swirling about as the waves continuously rippled, again and again, giving life to every single thing in the world.

In international waters, three supersized cargo steamers were braving the winds and the waves as they faced the rosy dawn and sailed towards Australia. Each of the s.h.i.+ps had its cargo weighing hundreds of tons, creating a crus.h.i.+ng pressure on the waterline, and repeatedly showing a pattern of almost sinking and then floating. If one thoughtlessly observed it, they might think that those s.h.i.+ps would sink into the sea because of an overloaded cargo. And yet, sailing at their side, were what appeared to be some very conventional oil tankers. However, in the eyes of an expert person like Qi Mo, their compounds were not ordinary compounds. The oil tanker was nothing more than merely an outer casing because their inside was that of a wars.h.i.+p, a real wars.h.i.+p.

Using the Global Positioning System from the Ministry of Defense to where Qi Mo was located, the Defense Minister adjusted the GPS into the wars.h.i.+p's gray code, displaying on the control screen informations like the speed, the orientation and the size, everything was being clearly revealed on the side of the system in the form of a distinct enumerated list.

"It must be these s.h.i.+ps." Jiao Wen looked at the screen in front of his eyes and faintly nodded while he spoke. It's the Ministry of Defense that's giving the information; it ought to not be wrong. Qi Mo's fingers tapped on the operating desk of the captain's room, looking to the screen and seemingly relaxed. In reality, those types of s.h.i.+ps only look s.p.a.cious on the outside but are cramped on the inside. Qi Mo furrowed his brows and said, "I won't forget Feiyusi's words."

Jiao Wen sounded an agreement and gloomily said, "I know. However, you must carefully observe to understand. Our time is running out, the credibility issue was our mistake, but we can't afford to lose our face."

Qi Mo heard those words, and his complexion turned even heavier. Looking at the vessels on the screen, he paused for a second and then nodded saying, "Dispatch the people to go search it."

Jiao Wen immediately pressed a push-b.u.t.ton that issued out a command which let them see the same equipment from the mobilized Ministry of Defense from the previous occasion going to the underwater wars.h.i.+p together with Red Falcon who was taking the lead. Everything was being transmitted onto the screen, the subordinates were armed to the teeth with diving devices, and one by one, they sprung from the submarine tender, diving towards the three gigantic cargo s.h.i.+ps.

Qi Mo and Jiao Wen were in the captain's room, fixedly looking at the men on the submarine that was all ready to infiltrate the three s.h.i.+ps, their gazes didn't leave the screen for not even a moment. That kind of cautious manner has never before appeared on Qi Mo's and Jiao Wen's faces.

The other party is the grand buyer of this batch of arms, and since Qi Mo's goods were sent to the Middle East, something like a wars.h.i.+p or the likes would have no use, that's why is simply impossible for that batch of arms appear on the wars.h.i.+p, or on that huge cargo s.h.i.+p. This must be the goods that Feyusi has sent, and it seems this is more than a half a billion deal. This is such a big deal that it definitely wasn't paid by an average Joe, not even the Ministry of Defense from this country has ever made such a large-scale purchase of weapons. It's evident that the other side is not an ordinary person, what matches perfectly with the words Feyusi has said, this is a dangerous and a critical situation.

"Feiyusi already arrived in Australia." Connected through the signal from the steamer, Jiao Wen indifferently said.

Qi Mo heard it and had no change on his expression. Feiyusi is no fool, with the chip disappearing, she would naturally be capable of recalling the place where it disappeared and the people who successfully took it. It's was not a big deal to rush over here first thanks to Feiyusi having no access to a warplane like the one that Qi Mo provided to Jiao Wen. Being unable to come through a special air route, it's not a surprise that so many people are late.

"Keep a close watch. Feiyusi is nothing impressive, but the person who's collaborating with her it's not an ordinary character." Qi Mo coldly said.

Jiao Wen nodded, "I have long started monitoring it."

Feiyusi is a person who has the power inside the Mafia to go one on one with Jiao Wen, but Jiao Wen has been Qi Mo's guard of honor for many years, and Feiyusi hasn't suffered losses wherever she went. The person who's cooperating with her and everybody all have a mutual understanding; Feiyusi and Jiao Wen are equals, it's not that she is a weapons producer, at best she is responsible for the sales transaction, but it's that this time she got some guts borrowed.

"Head, everyone has already boarded the s.h.i.+p."

Qi Mo nodded and in a cold voice said, "Fully inspect and control it. You cannot be careless anywhere."

"Yes, Head. Red Falcon understands."

Seeing that Red Falcon was exceptionally cautious, and besides, he also had Li Hu coordinating at his side, Qi Mo was fairly convinced of their ability and competence. He then indifferently said, "Go and pour me a cup of tea."

There was no answer. Just when Qi Mo was about to raise his brows, a small cup of tea was promptly delivered into his hands. Qi Mo slowly brought it towards his face and drank a mouthful of it. He couldn't help but knit his brows as he frostily said, "Who poured this?" He spoke while he turned his body around.

A subordinate from Jiao Wen was standing right behind Qi Mo's body. He bowed his head as he answered, "It was this subordinate."

Qi Mo's expression immediately turned frigid as he swept his eyes over the captain's room, and then said, "And Li Xin?"

"I don't know; this subordinate hasn't seen her." He spoke as he stood at Jiao Wen's side.

Jiao Wen paid attention to the transmission on the screen while he forwarded a question, "What? Li Xin isn't following at your side?"

Qi Mo's expression suddenly turned even more frigid and he raised his voice to say, "Go and call Yellow Falcon for me." Some people rapidly retreated as soon as he finished speaking.

"Head, what can I do for you?" Yellow Falcon was at the hold, taking charge of observing every situation on the surface of the sea and in the seabed, but the moment he heard Qi Mo was looking for him, he quickly went running.

"Where is Li Xin?" Qi Mo's composed face looked towards Yellow Falcon as he spoke. Li Xin was always following him, and he could still be seen during the time that the s.h.i.+p was being divided. After the distribution, the submarine descended and he paid attention to all sides, from everything that was being transmitted through the screen to every tidings that arrived. But he didn't paid attention to Li Xin who was behind him, and at this moment, she has surprisingly disappeared. Based on Li Xin's guts, she definitely doesn't have the capacity to boldly run away, so where was this person?

Yellow Falcon sounded an agreement and said, "Li Xin became seasick, so I arranged a place at the back of the hold for her to take a rest." At first, he didn't know that Li Xin suffered from seasickness, but nearing the time for the s.h.i.+p's division, he saw that Li Xin's complexion was as white as a sheet, and her teeth were clenched as if she was enduring something, then he finally understood that Li Xin has gotten seasick. He noticed that at that time Qi Mo's full attention was directed into watching all sides and aspects, so he ended up not reporting it to him.

Qi Mo heard Yellow Falcon's explanation and his face which was sinking non-stop, got slightly better, he then coldly said, "Go and bring her over."

"Yes." It wasn't necessary for Yellow Falcon to be instructed for he has long been accustomed to the way Qi Mo's commands must be carried out, so he had some people into it earlier on.

"Reporting to Head, there's nothing; the person wasn't in the hold, and we also didn't find the person anywhere on the s.h.i.+p." Doing an instant work, the one who had been previously sent has now quickly returned to report back.

Hearing what was said, Qi Mo's complexion turned so cold that it was frightening, his face was dark as he frostily said, "Did you sent the people from all parts of the back of the hold to the submarine?"

"**, Qi, look quickly." The subordinate's words hadn't finished when Jiao Wen abruptly cursed and spoke.

At the same moment, Red Falcon sent out a message from the submarine, "Head, we have separated a few people on the s.h.i.+p to come over, so why is there one more now?"

Qi Mo rapidly turned his body to look at what was being transmitted on the screen. He saw that amidst the sea water, next to the three steamers, there was a figure with a diving device on its back, struggling to throw itself onto the s.h.i.+p. With that kind of movement with its hands and feet, it seems that if it weren't for the oxygen cylinder and the propeller, the person would have disappeared a long time ago for having sunk in some unknown place. The figure then finally got a grip at the bottom of the vessel, looking just like an earthworm crawling upwards, that movement was astonis.h.i.+ngly slow, and that awkward and difficult situation was even more astonis.h.i.+ng.

Seeing this, Qi Mo was only left with rage and fury; a mad and violent anger that appeared like a whirlwind. The teacup that he held in his hands made a cracking sound as it was crushed between his fingers, Qi Mo then firmly gripped the sc.r.a.ps and threw them to the floor. Without even looking at Jiao Wen, he turned his body and furiously said, "I hand this over to you." And he went towards the bottom of the holding with large strides. He indeed knows that figure so well that he can't be more familiar with it, who else it could be except for Li Xin.

Hi there! I had some things that required my time so I couldn't translate this chapter until now.

I had no previous knowledge about what a gray code is, and it even took me some time to realize what the word really meant while translating ^^
