He stuffed a note in the steamed bun yesterday, telling her that there would be an opportunity in two days and he would find a way to rescue her.

As for what opportunity, she didn't know.

After all, it was just a small piece of paper, how many words could be written on it? He probably just wanted to reassure her and let her be mentally prepared.

But what about Cao Min?

Although her fever had subsided, she was still unconscious.

She tried to rub her with her body, shouting, "Minmin, Minmin wake up, Minmin..."

Cao Min finally opened his eyes, saw her, and tried to struggle to get up.

"Don't move. Your foot is injured. Just lie here." Han Xi was very satisfied to see that she woke up.

Cao Min also felt the pain from the wound on his leg. His face turned pale and he looked at Han Xi weakly.

"Xiao Xi, how are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. But you, how did you get arrested? And where's Miss Kong?"

Cao Min hadn't eaten for two days, and his breath was a little weak, his lips were pale, "Miss Kong and I were knocked unconscious and thrown to the side of the road, but I had a wound on my leg from the struggle in the bathroom. They threw us to the ground and touched my wound, I woke up in pain, and when I saw you being dragged away, I chased after you..."

Da Jun had told Cao Ye about the following events before. Now after hearing what Cao Min said, Han Xi felt helpless. “Why are you so stupid?”

"I can't just watch you get taken away and do nothing. One more person means more strength anyway." She paused and said, "But I found that I have become a burden. My leg injury makes it even harder for you to escape. Xiaoxi, if you have the chance, you can escape by yourself first and don't worry about me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are suffering because of me. How can I watch you die? Don't worry, we will go together."

Having said that, Han Xi wasn't sure whether the two could escape successfully.

But she was deeply moved by Cao Min's unhesitating act of chasing after her to save her.

No matter what, she couldn't let anything happen to Cao Min.

Now, the most important thing is to make sure Cao Min’s current condition does not attract the attention of the robbers.

She leaned close to Cao Min's ear and whispered a few words to her, then fed Cao Min a few bites of steamed buns.

Unfortunately, there was no water, so Cao Min stopped eating after a few bites because his throat was too dry and he found it difficult to swallow.

Moreover, she had just woken up and still had a slight fever. She had no appetite and just wanted to drink water.

Another day passed. Cao Min replenished some water, and the bodyguard secretly gave them medicine. Cao Min's injuries got better, at least they didn't get worse, but the wounds were still very painful.

And on this day, they were driven into another ship. The environment of this ship was much worse than the original one, and the cabin was full of the stench of fish.

Obviously, theirs is a fishing boat.

The cabin was dark and damp.

Cao Min's wound is at risk of infection.

Han Xi has been waiting for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the two-day deadline that the bodyguard had mentioned, and she is a little nervous.

After all, the bodyguard now has to save one more person. Even if he saves both of them, he still has to take them with him to escape.

Han Xi was both excited and afraid of tomorrow. He couldn't sleep the whole night and watched the occasional flash of light outside the only window in the cabin.

He held the piece of iron tightly in his hand.

On the deck, Master Cao was irritable and distressed, smoking a cigarette and walking in circles.

The ground was covered with cigarette butts.

"Why are there so many soldiers patrolling the sea recently? Damn it, it's so hard for us to make a living these days!"

One of the subordinates said, "Master Cao, Master Qin told you not to ruin your future and advised you to give up this batch of goods. Why don't we..."

Master Cao slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang, which scared the other men.

"When I, Cao Kun, started to make trouble, he was still in some corner. According to seniority, he had to call me brother. What kind of person dared to point fingers at me? If I hadn't helped the boss deliver the goods when I went out to sea, he wouldn't have been the leader of the underworld in S City."

Seeing his fury, the other men dared not say a word. One of them still asked under pressure, "Master Cao, now all kinds of people are looking for our goods, what should we do?"

"Okay, I have my own plans. I'll find another boat tomorrow and continue to take turns. I don't believe that we can't avoid those people."

Cao Kun looked at one of his men and said, "Call Mrs. Chen and tell her that we need to increase the price of this shipment by 80%. If we can't reach an agreement, forget about this shipment."

"okay!"

Another subordinate said, "Master Cao, the girl who was sick before is getting worse. If she is not sent to the hospital, she will not survive for many days. What do you think we should do? Should we follow the old rules?"

Cao Kun was so annoyed that he yelled at him, "You have to ask me all these questions. When you are in a hurry to pee, do you need me to help you choose which pot to pee in?"

The subordinate was so frightened that he dared not say a word and lowered his head, not daring to look at him again. If someone paid close attention, they would have noticed that the corner of his mouth was slightly raised.

The next day, before dawn, Han Xi and her friends were woken up and had to change boats again.

At this time, their feet would be untied so that they could walk to another boat.

Wei Chong smiled at his companion and said, "I'll go take care of that salted fish and I'll be back soon."

As he said this, he handed the other person a cigarette.

The companion knew the rules of the trade. The so-called salted fish were those sick and lagging fish, which were thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish.

He nodded. "Hurry up, time waits for no one."

"Oh, it won't take much time."
