Chapter 547: Chapter 587, Earth Snake (Fourth Update)

The brown car stopped in front of Fang Yi and Zhao Guosheng, the passenger door opened, and a man in a suit came out, then quickly ran to the back of the car, opened the door, and stood sideways.

"Quite a display," Fang Yi muttered under his breath, then saw a mature, beautiful woman step out of the car.

The mature beauty wore a black suit, appearing to be over thirty, her outfits showing a perfect charm. Her top was an unbuttoned black suit, inside which was a white, snow-like women’s shirt, and below that, she wore black bell-bottom pants.

If it had been a woman around 1.56 meters tall, she definitely wouldn’t have had the confidence to pull off those bell-bottoms, but this mature beauty before him did manage it easily. Fang Yi secretly estimated that this woman’s legs must be at least 1.2 meters long, and her whole body around 1.75 meters.

The mature beauty was tall, wearing sunglasses, showing absolute confidence in every glance.

Definitely a strong woman, not someone to mess with!

Fang Yi only glanced twice before quickly averting his gaze; he vaguely noticed that the mature beauty had also glanced at him, but only briefly before her eyes settled on Zhao Guosheng.

"This woman must be Nangong Lengxue."

While Fang Yi was pondering, Nangong Lengxue, with one hand tucked in her pocket, approached Zhao Guosheng.

"Director," Zhao Guosheng immediately said, making Fang Yi aware of the woman’s identity.

"Mhm," Nangong Lengxue responded indifferently, without even glancing at Fang Yi, and said, "Who is he?" Her commanding and arrogant demeanor was definitely not that of an ordinary woman.

"Reporting to the Director, my name is Fang Xiaotian." Before Zhao Guosheng could speak, Fang Yi quickly said.

It was unclear what expression lay behind those sunglasses, but Nangong Lengxue coldly snorted, "Impudent, slap him!"

Zhao Guosheng quickly interjected, "Director, he’s new to Dragon Team, he doesn’t understand many things, please be lenient and don’t take it to heart."

Nangong Lengxue said, "Only this once, not to be repeated."

Zhao Guosheng replied, "Yes, yes."

Fang Yi did not dare look directly at Nangong Lengxue again to avoid provoking her again.

Damn, this menopausal old woman, given the chance, I’d severely criticize you!

Of course, Nangong Lengxue was not aware of Fang Yi’s thoughts. In reality, Nangong Lengxue merely found Fang Xiaotian a bit unfamiliar, as she had not seen him around Zhao Guosheng before, hence her questioning.

"Zhao Guosheng, how shall we proceed to sea?" Nangong Lengxue asked.

"Director, rest assured, I have already found a fishing boat waiting just for your arrival," Zhao Guosheng said with a smile.

The boat they boarded was a medium-sized fishing boat, about ten meters long and three to four meters wide, capable of withstanding all but the most extreme conditions, like a ten-meter tall tsunami.

But that wasn’t a concern; the sea around Moon City was virtually tsunami-free, and even big storms posed no threat to this fishing vessel.

Once on the fishing boat, Zhao Guosheng accompanied Nangong Lengxue into one of the cabins, followed by four men who also entered with Nangong Lengxue, after which Zhao Guosheng returned.

"Deputy Director Zhao, this old woman is just a bit older than you, you don’t have to be that scared of her," Fang Yi said, truly baffled by how Zhao Guosheng treated Nangong Lengxue as if she were his own mother.

"You don’t understand," Zhao Guosheng smiled and explained, "This Nangong Lengxue can be quite capricious. You say she’s an old woman, and that’s not wrong, she does have that temperament, but what I’m afraid of is not that, but that once she gets serious, it’s exhausting to contend with her."

Fang Yi was curious, "Oh?"

Zhao Guosheng sighed, "You know, women, regardless of age, ultimately need to be coaxed. I’ve known Nangong Lengxue for a long time, I understand her well. Don’t get on her bad side or treat her like an ordinary person. It’s easier for both of us if she’s comfortable. If she starts to make trouble, believe me, it’s terrifying."

Fang Yi might not have known this, but he sure didn’t want to test it out. It was good to understand a bit about Nangong Lengxue. He silently warned himself not to provoke that menopausal old woman.

Anyway, none of my business, I’m staying out of it!

Fang Yi took out a cigarette, handed one to Zhao Guosheng, lit one for himself, and together they walked to the front deck of the boat.

The sea breeze carried with it a fishy smell onto the deck, which invaded their nostrils. Fang Yi could bear it; he looked out towards the boundless sea, gazing into the distance, not a single other boat in sight.

Just then, an old man accompanied by a young man walked over, Zhao Guosheng pointed at them and said, "Fang Yi, let me introduce you..."

The old man, surnamed Liu, owned this fishing boat and was commonly called Elder Liu. However, Fang Yi was surprised to discover that Elder Liu had once been a member of the Dragon Team and a Jiaolong Guard.

When Zhao Guosheng reached this point in his explanation, Elder Liu appeared somewhat embarrassed and sighed, "To think that in my youth I fought battles alongside Dragon King as a mere Jiaolong Guard, I was already more than satisfied to be part of the Dragon Team. I never imagined that in my old age I would still be able to serve the Dragon Team. Just thinking about it is exhilarating."

The young man following Elder Liu was called Da Gang, picked up and adopted by Elder Liu who raised him and they lived off fishing.

"Deputy Director Zhao, whatever kind of fishing boat you need, just let me know. I’ve been running around this sea for over a decade, I know a thing or two," Elder Liu said, clearly very dedicated to the cause.

According to intelligence, "that fishing boat and your fishing boat share a similarity, but there’s one major difference," Zhao Guosheng explained, "that boat has a large skull painted on the side."

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Liu and Da Gang’s expressions suddenly changed.

"Is there a problem?" Fang Yi asked.

Elder Liu turned and exchanged a glance with Da Gang before sighing, "I know who owns that boat."

Just from Elder Liu’s tone, it was clear that the owner of that fishing boat was no good.

"That boat belongs to Earth Snake," Elder Liu said.

"Earth Snake?"

Fang Yi and Zhao Guosheng exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

That’s when Da Gang stepped forward and explained, "Earth Snake is the big boss around these parts, brutal and ruthless. His fists are as hard as steel, capable of easily shattering a rock, and he can take on several dozen men by himself. Not just around here, even in other docks, he has a fierce reputation, and not many dare to cross him, and moreover..."
