The ship sat still.
At the bow, they were receiving the inspection team.
Five or six men in black stood silently at the stern.
The ship rose and fell on the waves.
Yet they stood motionless, like statues.
The men who had accompanied the woman earlier had already gone down off the ship with her.
Gu Zheng had thought Buddha Lord would appear soon.
These men were probably waiting for Buddha Lord to arrive.
What he hadn't expected was-
Before long, the ship sounded a long blast of its horn and set off again!
Gu Zheng was stunned.
He was certain the ship had not undergone a routine inspection.
He firmly believed the navy personnel would never skip that inspection because of a storm.
There was only one circumstance in which a ship could leave Bohai Bay without a routine inspection-the ship had military clearance exempting it!
The ship sent to help Buddha Lord escape actually had a military pass.
His worst fear had come true!
This was precisely what he had followed them all this way to verify.
Now there was no room for doubt.
The K organization's reach extended into the military.
And whoever could obtain a maritime pass had to hold considerable rank and power!
He had thought catching Buddha Lord would bring this case to an end.
Now it seemed that even aboard this ship, Buddha Lord probably still had a backup plan!
He would not meekly surrender.
Gu Zheng kept his eyes fixed on the stern.
Since the ship had safely passed the checkpoint,
Buddha Lord probably would not go downstairs again.
Nor did that woman need to remain in the small boat.
She would come back up here.
Judging by the importance the men in black attached to her, this woman held considerable weight
