Chapter 55: Proceed according to your plan

  Luó Guóyǒng looked at Yīng Tiān Lóng and asked: "Yīng brother, I still have a most critical question, please answer."

  "Please go on."

  "I've got my money out, who's going to take it? And how can we be sure that we'll be able to escape the island smoothly?"

  Ying Tianlong said, "You asked the right question. Since we've already reached an agreement, I should tell you my secret, which is also a huge one. Ying Tianlong said, "From the day I was sentenced to life imprisonment, I have been filled with disappointment towards the troops and this government. I tried to escape but failed, they knew I was a scout by training, a very dangerous person. But there were no conditions for the death penalty, what could be done? Being sent to Death Island was my best destination. To be honest, from the moment I boarded the landing craft, I thought about revenge. I have an inside line, a good friend who is willing to risk his life to help me."

  Lu Guoyong shook his head and said: "It's not that easy. The island of death is a highly confidential institution of the national legal system, and ordinary people will not know about this place."

  "This person is no ordinary person, for example, he might be the armed police officer responsible for escorting us."

  Lu Guoyong suddenly stood up: "That's a different story. This matter is easy for him."

  "It's not necessarily so, did you see that armed police officer making contact with the prisoner as he came ashore? They themselves are prisoners and cannot make contact with the outside world at all. They have strict discipline and dedicate their lives to the country. It's not as simple as you imagine."

  Luo Guoyong plopped down on his buttocks: "Brother Ying, don't bother buying any more shares, my heart can't take your constant hammering and blackmailing. I want to hear what I most want to hear."

  Yīng Tiān Lóng says you're too impatient, can't calm down, this is a big taboo in our line of work. Having done eighteen bows already, do you still lack the final courtesy? Without absolute certainty, would I have come to make friends with you?

  Lu Guo let out a long sigh: "Dealing with you is both pleasant and frightening, you are a very intimidating person, but your heart is as calm as still water, unruffled by waves, absolutely a man who can accomplish great things. I, Lu Guo, am willing to be friends with you for this life and the next, never abandoning or leaving each other, sharing life and death, and never betraying each other."

  "Ying Tianlong smiled slightly, what is eternal betrayal? You betrayed are just your accomplices, I will betray my country, the troops that nurtured me to grow up, Commander Feng Jiefang, Captain Feng Aijun, and the person I love most, Feng Qiuyu. Your so-called promise is unreliable, you are greedy and cunning, with a wolf's heart and dog's lungs. Talking about integrity with someone like you is like plotting with a tiger, seeking self-destruction. The only way out is to thoroughly eliminate you, from spirit to flesh, making it impossible for you to turn over, there is no other choice."

  Yīng Tiān Lóng said: "My friend is also tired of this life, the conditions are very good, but once a person loses their freedom, how can good conditions be enough? The outside world is so colorful, but for oneself, it's just an empty imagination that cannot become reality. You say, how painful is that?"

  "So he's planning to betray and leave the armed police force to join that wonderful world, right?"

  "That's right. But then again, without a reliable big buyer, the cost of freedom is too high, and if things go wrong, heads will roll, reputations will be ruined, and it'll be irreparable."

  "So he's waiting for you, and you're waiting for him, right?"

  Ying Tianlong smiled and didn't answer.

  Lu Guoyong stared at him tightly: "How did you know there would be a big buyer?"

  Ying Tianlong replied: "Duoming Island is a place where dragons and tigers lie in wait, how many people want to escape and rise again? Do you still worry about not having a good buyer?"

  "Hah……" Luo Guoyong burst out laughing towards the sky.

  "Brilliant, brilliant enough. The plan was executed flawlessly, without a hitch. Meeting you is my good fortune, knowing you is my honor. Let's discuss, what's the next step?"

  "Specific opportunities I'm still thinking about, this action is not trivial, the fewer people who know the better. And it must be successful at once, because we don't have a second chance. The most critical thing is whether my comrade can meet us at sea. With just our own boat, we can't go out to the open ocean."

  "Uh-huh, that makes sense. Even if the islanders can build ships, how big of a ship can they build? To leave the island, someone needs to pick them up, and only a large ship can ensure their safety."

  "Yes, so that's why I asked you how much start-up capital you have. Doing business outside requires spending money. Nowadays, people don't let rabbits run loose without scattering hawks."

  "I can provide the bank account password, but how are you going to contact him?"

  "Don't worry about this, we've already made arrangements. Before coming to the island, he gave me a miniature radio transmitter and we won't contact each other until the last moment. That's why I said it has to be successful in one go. With the boat, we can leave the island and meet at a designated location on the ocean, then transfer to a bigger ship to take you where you want to go, what do you think?"

  "It's settled with just one word."

  "Alright, today's matter is just between you and me, it cannot be known by a third person, not even Wang Qing the 'hyena'. By the way, what do you plan to do with Wang Qing? After all, you two are good friends for many years."

  Luo Guoyong hummed from his nose: "Chen Fu didn't tell me I could go to a third person, so no one is allowed."

  "The problem is he already knows this secret, you can't hide from him."

  Lu Guoyong scratched his head and didn't answer immediately.

  "It was 'Hyena' Wang Qing who pulled the strings among us, which led to our conversation today. If you want to get rid of him now, it's not that easy, he can cause trouble. I think we still need him in our plan, stabilizing him will also benefit us. As for later, let's wait and see how things develop before making a decision. If too many people escape from Death Island together, it will cause a stir, the government will pursue us relentlessly, and we'll become fugitives again, increasing the danger."

  "You've thought of everything, let's go with your plan."

  Luó Guóyǒng suddenly looked at him with a flirtatious gaze and said: "Yīng brother, how was the gift I sent you?"

  "What gift?"

  "That Liu Fang."

  Ying Tianlong's face turned red and he replied, "It's fine, it's fine."

  "Is that so? She's the top hostess of a nightclub in Hangzhou, **wild and pure as water. Especially in bed, that wonderful taste is only available in heaven, and few people have ever experienced it. When I was sent to the island, I hid her away. No matter how many people asked me, I didn't say a word. Since ancient times, beauties have been paired with heroes, those inferior men don't even dare to think about it, let them dream of eating swan meat, let them have their own illusions." Luo Guoyong said with a sly smile.

  That's the kind of anger in Ying Tianlong's heart. The top hostess of Hangzhou City Nightclub, exactly as the saying goes, "One jade arm can support a thousand people, half a red lip can be worth ten thousand people." It's so lewd that it can't be any more lewd. What do they take me, Ying Tianlong, for?

  "If Second Brother is still not satisfied, I'll give you another one." Luo Guoyong saw that he didn't make a sound and thought he was still not satisfied. What's the point of having a woman anyway? In the future, with that huge sum of money, wouldn't they have as much as they wanted?

  Ying Tianlong was startled and said, "You're going to take my life away!" He hastily said, "I understand your intention, big brother. This Liu Fang has already made me unbearable, so let me live a few more years."

  Ying Tianlong found Yin Tao and told him everything about meeting Luo Guo today. Ying Tianlong now wants to get close to Yin Tao in every way, after all, Yin Tao is his only comrade-in-arms here. Yin Tao thought carefully: "Boss, this is good news, it means you have approached and gained the trust of Luo Guo. But there is a Wang Qing mixed in, if you don't handle his affairs well, you will lose all your previous efforts."

  Ying Tianlong replied, "Wang Qing is very cunning and difficult to deal with. But he still has some use value now, letting him restrain Luo Guoyong in the middle will make Luo Guoyong dare not do too much. Don't look at Luo Guoyong's surface calling me brother, this kind of person can turn his face at any time, there is no place to trust."

  Yin Tao said it's not entirely true, Luo Guoyong has already handed over the bottom line to you. It can be said that without you, even if he escaped, he wouldn't have the guts to take this money. Luo Guoyong's cunning lies in his mind, able to settle down on the island of death, waiting quietly for the appearance of someone who meets his satisfaction. How deep do you think his city is?

  "Yes, this person should be said to be a very powerful opponent I've encountered. A master's move is all about your reaction ability and decision-making in controlling things. I believe that if there wasn't 100% certainty, Luo Guoyong would rather die on the island than act rashly."

  "So the closer you get to success, the more careful and cautious you must be, without revealing any weaknesses. This is the greatest test for you."

  "What kind of difficulties can't get me down? There's only one thing that gives me a headache."

  "Is it Liu Fang?"

  Ying Tianlong nodded.

  Yin Tao smiled and said: "You little rascal, you're really lucky. That Liu Fang is a real babe, no man can resist such a sexy and charming girl."

  "What is she, a nightclub hostess, a prostitute?" Tian Long said angrily.

  "What's Alan, what's Ali? You're the big boss now, it's an extraordinary time, so you have to use extraordinary measures. You won't lose anything. Don't worry, I'll forget everything about the Island of Death once I leave. But the play must go on, the big boss of that bandit den isn't all poisonous, are you an exception?"

  "It's really forcing good people to become prostitutes." Ying Tianlong shook his head directly.
