2226
That night, Fu Hanwen and Xiao Ruo went out to sea again.
This time, they didn't shake off the tail behind them like before; instead, they deliberately led them to the pier.
They didn't sail a small boat away from the shore as before; instead, they boarded the large ship that Kang Weicheng had given them.
Their ship had just left the shore when several small boats followed closely, including one entirely black painted boat which Fu Hanwen barely noticed due to his keen eyesight.
This black boat was faster than the other two, but it seemed to slow down intentionally, probably to avoid being noticed.
Fu Hanwen and Xiao Ruo leaned against the big ship's railing, pretending to admire the weak moonlit sea nightscape.
Xiao Ruo looked in the direction of three o'clock as Fu Hanwen suggested: "Brother Fu, the boat you mentioned shouldn't be the one we saw that night, right?"
The boat they saw the other night wasn't black, making it easy to spot.
