Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 901: Unintentional or Intentional?

The vast waters of Southeast Asia.

Chu Xin and her group followed the smuggling fishing boat from Lantau Island in Hong Kong to pick up the goods and headed southwest into the South China Sea. They then maintained a south-southwest course, passing through the waters south of Hainan Island and east of Vietnam, and continued to cross the Spratly Islands before entering the waters surrounding Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

The journey was fraught with difficulties and dangers. Besides dealing with the pirates who would appear from time to time, the most terrifying thing was the ever-changing weather at sea.

It was only then that Chu Xin and the other two understood why Hu Kan had so arrogantly used his identity and secrets, along with his trip to sea, as a condition for a chance to treat someone's illness.

This man was born in Indonesia. His ancestors were poor and later made their fortune as pirates, working hard for several generations. Hu Kan was exposed to this from a young age and had already mastered superb navigation skills.

It can identify celestial phenomena and hydrology, determine direction by starlight, and predict typhoon and monsoon changes, all without the need for any instruments to determine a ship's position.

Just as he had promised, he safely delivered them to their destination.

It was then that Chu Xin and the other two learned his complete story.

Because of generations of piracy, the Hu family had accumulated immense wealth. However, precisely because of this, when the Japanese army invaded Indonesia to plunder its core oil-producing areas, the Hu family and other wealthy families were all targeted.

If Hu Kan's ancestors had been able to assess the situation and humble themselves, they wouldn't have suffered the destruction of their family. Who would have thought that a family that made its fortune through piracy would be so stubborn? In addition, their former enemies, who fawned over the Japanese, took advantage of their misfortune to kick the Hu family while they were down, resulting in the near extinction of Hu Kan's family.

Even after the Japanese invaders were gone, Hu Kan was still hunted down by his enemies, and by chance, Su Zihang saved him.

Disheartened, Hu Kan had long grown tired of making a living and dodging assassins on the sea, so Su Zihang took him back with him when he returned to the mainland.

As for the person who needed treatment, it was his mother. Her family had fallen into ruin and disappeared. He only learned of her situation from Su Zihang. She had been captured and forced into sexual slavery, and was already severely injured and completely insane.

Hu Kan was worried that his actions might endanger her again, so he never made any effort to get close to her over the years. He only tried his best to use money to take care of her daily life and make her more comfortable.

Yang Zheng's appearance gave him hope. If Yang Zheng could make his mother more lucid and stop her from talking nonsense, Hu Kan planned to smuggle her back to mainland China and never return until he died.

After hearing the whole story, Yang Zheng immediately decided to go to the island to treat Hu Kan's mother. Ge Shaoting, worried about her, also went with him.

A half-day sea voyage can be completed on the same day.

Standing on the deck of the large ship she had just boarded, gazing at the horizon where the sea met the sky, Chu Xin felt that there were still many redeeming qualities in this dangerous sea area.

Hu Kan inquired about the news as soon as he boarded the ship and learned that Su Zihang had gone to the Philippines to transport a batch of goods that were intended to be sold to other island countries, and would be back in a day or two at most.

A dark-skinned man wearing an old cloth vest sat on a wooden box behind her, leisurely drinking while carefully wiping the gun in his hand.

Chu Xin was engrossed in watching when suddenly a gunshot rang out, followed by sparks flying from the railing beside her.

She didn't move, only glancing sideways at the dent from the bullet wound, before turning back and asking in a calm, clear voice, "Unintentional or intentional?"
