CHAPTER 1915: CHAPTER 904: SET THE FIRE AND RUN (HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!)

Unfortunately, Yan Fei wasn’t interested in enlightening them. He was gloating as he said to Old Chang, "Alright, you can leave now, right? There’s no saving it! They brought this on themselves; they’ve got crude oil on the ship, quite a bit actually. I’m betting it’s smuggled, and once it catches fire, there’s no saving it."

"No wonder it’s burning so fiercely." Old Chang glanced at the raging inferno, murmured to himself, then turned around and waved his arm. "Brothers, set sail!"

Yan Fei chuckled, "Well, just letting you know, I didn’t swim over there, and the ship caught fire, it wasn’t me!"

Old Chang was stunned. If it wasn’t you, how do you know there’s crude oil on the ship?

But then he understood and nodded, "Mm, it wasn’t you!"

...

The people on the yacht were too far away to know what had happened. By the time they noticed the opposite ship on fire, thick black smoke was already billowing up from the sea.

Then they saw their own fishing boat heading towards them.

The yacht, which had been hesitating and hanging around, didn’t wait for any words. The captain immediately steered towards that side — they had wanted to leave earlier but felt that they shouldn’t just run away like this. But if they didn’t leave, the people aboard wouldn’t be much help even if they went over.

Luckily, the yacht was faster than the fishing boat, so they weren’t afraid of being caught up, and they kept waiting around to see how things unfolded.

Now that the fire had broken out over there, to the yacht crew, it was like a starting gun — they should go over and join up without any further delay!

...

With Xiaohe’s help, Yan Fei got on the yacht. The two boats joined together and sailed off into the distance.

A group of people gathered around Yan Fei, bombarding him with questions, their eyes sparkling with admiration: everyone saw him jump off, and then the ship caught fire, how badass!

But Yan Fei firmly denied it: "It really wasn’t me, I hadn’t even swum over there before it caught fire!"

No matter who asked, that was his answer. Wen Le could tell right away that it was because those students hadn’t left yet?

"Come on, come on, you swam for so long, you’re tired, right? Let me help you take a rest!" The Fifth Young Master Guo was quick-witted, and eagerly came over to ’support’ Yan Fei as they walked inside.

Outside, there were too many people, and too many mouths, so they shouldn’t say anything reckless. But among their own brothers, surely he could speak, eager to find out how Yan Fei managed to turn that ship into a sea-bound torch.

The students watched them walk inside, curiosity and excitement filling them, but they tactfully stayed back on the deck.

As soon as Yan Fei got into the room, before anyone could ask, he started: "Their ship had crude oil on it. I snuck on board to take a look, and while I was at it, I noticed something was on fire!"

"That’s it?" Everyone was quite dissatisfied with this answer!

"Yeah, that’s it." Yan Fei nodded affirmatively.

"Really, just like that?" Such a brush-off, can’t you at least say a bit more!

"What do you want from me? Do you want me to say something so you can report me?" Yan Fei glared. "Anyway, it wasn’t me. Once I step out, I don’t even acknowledge having been on their ship!"

"Alright, alright, just like that, no more questions!" Wen Le chimed in. "We know what’s up, let’s get on with whatever we need to do."

"So where are we headed next?" Xiaohe asked.

"We definitely need to get farther away first before considering anything else," Yan Fei answered. "If you pull off a job and don’t leave, staying at the scene, what do you plan to do? First, get some distance! Even a thief knows to run after stealing, and after watching a big fire, you don’t know to keep your distance?"

"Yeah, yeah, do a job and then run..." For once all day, everyone was in rare unanimous agreement at this moment.

"By the way, Brother Fei, you’re impressive!" Wen Le suddenly turned around and gave a thumbs up while pushing the others out.

"Yeah, Brother Fei, the best!" The group turned around, gave a thumbs-up, and then burst into laughter.

They laughed joyfully, thinking they’d face life and death today, but instead, it was just a spectacle of a blazing ship.

At that moment, everyone was just grateful for themselves, no one cared about what happened to the people on that ship!

Who cares if they live or die, those guys who were just trying to play pirates, who would sympathize with them?

Let them die wherever they want!
