"You are right, let's go take a look."
A-Hu brought the boat closer to Old Liu's Family's vessel. As he stepped onto the boat, Mong Si and Tong Tong emerged from the cabin.
"Tong Tong!"
Seeing Tong Tong, A-Hu greeted her.
"Uncle A-Hu, Dad is hurt! You have to save him!"
Mong Si used all his strength to get out of the cabin quickly. When he saw A-Hu and A-Song, his tense nerves began to relax. Without waiting for A-Hu to speak, he hurriedly said, "There are explosives on the boat! You need to take Tong Tong away!"
"Damn it!"
A-Hu cursed loudly. Upon hearing about the explosives, he no longer dared to stroll casually like before.
"Take Tong Tong away!"
Mong Si pushed Tong Tong towards A-Hu.
"I want to stay with Dad."
Tong Tong clung to Mong Si's arm. Her grip was weak, and she stumbled when Mong Si pushed her, falling to the ground.
"Tong Tong!"
A-Hu quickly reached out to pull Tong Tong up.
"Jump into the water! They are detonating the explosives!"
Mong Si's nerves were still tense as he saw a pile of explosives. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination or if he really heard the sound of the explosives being ignited. In that moment, his survival instinct kicked in, and he lunged towards Tong Tong, rolling with her towards the sea.
A-Hu reacted quickly as well; when Mong Si jumped over, he followed him into the water.
"Bang!"
The moment Mong Si and A-Song jumped into the sea, the fishing boat exploded. The power of the explosives was immense. The Li Family's initial plan was to kidnap Tong Tong, extort Zhu Junjie for money, and then blow up both Zhu Junjie and Tong Tong into oblivion after getting the ransom. They had placed explosives on the boat beforehand but did not expect that the first ones to come aboard to rescue Tong Tong would be Mong Si, who was exceptionally strong in combat.
Mong Si's ferocity instilled fear in them, leading them to contemplate mutual destruction. However, since it was their first time using explosives and they were unfamiliar with them, they inadvertently gave Mong Si and Tong Tong time to escape. Despite their quick actions, Mong Si and the others could not evade the destructive power of the explosives. After the explosives were ignited, a loud explosion occurred; flames erupted from the cabin, roaring as they threatened to engulf the entire fishing boat and shatter the calmness of the sea.
The sound of the explosion startled two nearby fishing boats that wanted to distance themselves from the exploding vessel while still worrying about the four people inside. They shouted A-Hu's and A-Song's names.
The fishing boat that had caught fire quickly erupted with explosions, and in an instant, pieces of metal and wood from the boat flew everywhere. Many fragments shot toward a nearby fishing boat, injuring people standing at the bow.
"Get into the cabin!" someone shouted, trying to run toward the cabin but was grabbed by another person. "Brother A-Hu and A-Song are still in the water! We have to go save them!"
The person he yelled at calmed down. "But..."
"No buts!"
As they spoke, the already devastated fishing boat sank rapidly, its remaining wreckage disappearing beneath the waves.
"Quick, go down and save them!"
The fishing boat was small and was soon destroyed by explosives; even if there were remnants of explosives buried underwater, they wouldn't pose much danger. The greatest danger came from the debris flying around.
The sea, which had just been fraught with peril, now only showed floating wreckage and slightly larger ripples than usual, along with some dark oil stains, not much different from before.
A-Hu's companions were worried about A-Hu and didn't dare to wait any longer. They found nearly ten good swimmers to dive in for rescue.
The sounds of explosions traveled far, alarming people at nearby docks, and soon someone began to gather around.
The once quiet dock became noisy and chaotic.
Mong Si, A-Hu, and A-Song were in a much worse situation than those on the fishing boat. They were close to the exploding vessel with no place to take cover. All three were hit by debris and had several wounds on their bodies.
Mong Si's legs were injured and felt like they no longer belonged to him. He held Tong Tong tightly in his arms as he sank deeper into the water. Seeing this, A-Hu and A-Song rushed to his side without caring about their own pain, supporting him on either side as they swam toward the surface.
They all had various wounds on their bodies, and the seawater stung painfully against them as they passed through it, leaving trails of blood behind.
A-Hu had brought out several people. Two boats approached the area of the incident. When A-Hu and his companions surfaced, they were quickly spotted by those anxiously waiting on board.
They hurriedly shouted and pointed to their location. "They are over there!"
"Bring the boat over here!"
A-Hu wiped the water from his face; his wounds throbbed painfully, but he was more worried about Tong Tong. If he remembered correctly, when he last saw Tong Tong, her shoulder was covered in blood.
Having just jumped back into the water again, he knew that a child's lung capacity was not as strong as an adult's; if something went wrong, no one could take responsibility.
A-Hu called out urgently to check on Tong Tong's condition.
Tong Tong's head was tightly pressed against Mong Si's chest; A-Hu couldn't see her face. He looked at Mong Si with a complicated expression.
Mong Si was doing his best to protect Tong Tong, but...
A-Hu recalled how Zhu Junjie looked when he was found—tortured and barely human—and realized that Mong Si had been ruthless with Zhu Junjie without ever considering that he might survive.
Although Tong Tong is Zhu Junjie's daughter, Mong Si is doing everything he can to find her and protect her, which is quite a contrast!
A-Hu cannot see through Mong Si. He raised his hand and patted Mong Si on the shoulder, "Buddy, we're safe now. Let go, and I'll check on Tong Tong."
Mong Si did not respond to A-Hu at all.
Even at this moment, he is still acting aloof.
A-Hu said, "Buddy..."
"Brother A-Hu, he seems to have passed out."
At this time, A-Hu was turning around, gesturing for his people to come over quickly. Upon hearing this, he looked at Mong Si.
At this moment, Mong Si's eyes were tightly closed, maintaining the same position as before.
"Really passed out?"
His eyes were open just a moment ago; how could he suddenly be unconscious?
A-Hu was afraid that Mong Si would loosen his grip and let Tong Tong sink into the water.
He reached out to try to pull Tong Tong away, but Mong Si's arms were as hard as steel and did not budge.
A-Hu tried but couldn't pry them apart.
"How did he manage to pass out while holding on so tightly?" A-Hu asked in confusion.
"Could he be dead?"
Some people become stiff after death and maintain their initial position.
A-Song said this while reaching out to check Mong Si's breath.
"Is he still breathing?"
"Breathing!"
"He's pretty lucky to run into me here; otherwise, even if he wanted to breathe now, he wouldn't be able to."
A-Hu realized that his earlier conversation with A-Song sounded a bit silly and added a comment.
While he and A-Song were discussing whether Mong Si was alive or dead, the boat had already approached.
His people reached out to him, wanting to pull him onto the boat.
