Chapter 408 I Was Still Too Kind to You

After hearing Stanley's words, I looked at him curiously and asked, "You call him Uncle Captain Lucas Yang? Isn't Ms. Merchant your mother?" Captain Lucas and Ms. Merchant are a couple, so why doesn't Stanley have the surname Yang, but instead has the surname Lu?

He pursed his lips and said, "My biological father's surname is Lu. Uncle Yang was a good friend of my dad. My dad died in the line of duty when I was ten. Later, Uncle Yang took care of my mother and me, and eventually, he ended up with my mother."

Oh, I see!

Looking at him, I asked, "Was your father also a policeman?"

The family of three were all police officers. He nodded, his face becoming somewhat grave as he said, "He too, fell at the hands of the border criminals."

I pursed my lips, at the border between two countries. The frontier of my homeland was fraught with danger everywhere. In order to maintain this peace, countless lives were lost on this line every year. Every year, countless families lost fathers, sons, daughters, mothers, and even entire families of heroes.

"I didn't believe Ezra's luck could be that great. He escaped last time, I didn't believe he could escape this time." Looking at Stanley, I began to speak. "No matter what, I will avenge Captain Lucas."

Looking at me, Stanley chuckled, "I heard he's planning to marry you, keeping someone who wants to kill him by his side, Ezra really isn't afraid of death."

I pursed my lips, Ezra was more afraid of death than anyone else.

"Toot toot..." A long horn sound came from outside. Hearing the sound, Stanley and I looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's here!" He looked towards the window, seeing a yacht with a national flag hanging not far away coming.

I saw it too.

Seeing the person we were waiting for arrive, both he and I were very excited, ready to leave the cabin and figure out a way to meet up with the police across from us.

No sooner had I opened the hatch than a dark gun was pressed against Stanley's forehead. Everything happened so suddenly that I was taken aback. When I recognized the person standing at the door was Ezra, my heart skipped a beat.

How did he find it so quickly?

Stanley was held at gunpoint again, retreating back into the cabin. He looked at me, Ezra's dark eyes narrowed, his face terrifyingly grim. "Tabatha," he said, "it seems I've been too merciful to you."

After speaking, without waiting for me to say more, he directly had Sebastian behind him bind my hands again.

Then he looked at Stanley, his cold eyes flickering, and mocked, "Is this all you've got after following me all the way?"

The person next to him suddenly threw out a black box. Upon seeing the black box, Stanley's face stiffened, then turned deathly pale.

Even if I were a fool, I understood by looking at Stanley's face. This was what he was preparing to confiscate from Ezra. The people around Ezra opened the box, which was full of contraband. Once the police

found these items, they would definitely be confiscated.

How had Ezra found something so quickly?

Stanley pursed his lips, looking at him, and suddenly scoffed, "So it turns out that my smooth journey was all due to your guidance. It seems, I should thank you."

Ezra snorted coldly, allowing himself to be tied up. The sound of the horn outside was getting closer, someone hurried over and said to Ezra, "Ezra, the ship has been repaired and can operate normally now. However, our ship was stopped by the police. They said they received a report that there are contraband goods on our ship and we need to stop for inspection."

Glancing at the pile of contraband on the floor, Ezra gave us a look, then signaled to the person next to him. That person then directly threw those things out of the window into the sea. Having done all this, Ezra said, "Let them check!"

Stanley and I were taken to the deck because the police were coming, so our hands, which were originally tied, were actually freed. However, Ezra arranged for two people to stand next to us.

At this point, all of Stanley's efforts had been in vain. I couldn't help but look at him and say, "After all the trouble we've been through, we still couldn't catch him. Instead, you're the one who's going to pay the price."

The astonishment had long since left his resolute face, his expression indifferent as he said, "Who said I was going to involve myself?"

I paused, realizing he still had arrangements, and couldn't help but ask, "You've arranged something else?"

He didn't respond to me, just looked out at the sea beyond the deck,

and sighed slightly, "I don't know if there's enough time."

I didn't react to his words, feeling somewhat baffled.

He, on the other hand, was mysteriously looking at the patrol boat that was already preparing to dock. I followed his gaze and was surprised to see a familiar figure on the patrol boat.
