After finishing his workout, Hailong returned to the guest room, took a shower, and then dressed neatly before standing in front of Chen Xiaoya. By this time, Li Wanhuo had already been waiting downstairs with the doctor for a long time. Seeing Chen Xiaoya standing by the door, Hailong said, "Let's go. I'll take you to get the poison sac."
For some reason, Chen Xiaoya wanted to observe Hailong carefully. When she saw him put on a shirt and glasses, she noticed that his entire demeanor had changed. The bulging muscles were hidden under the expensive shirt, and the fierce gaze was obscured by the gold-rimmed glasses. This made him look not only handsome and sunny but also refined and gentlemanly, like a noble young man. Chen Xiaoya couldn't help but marvel at how a man who had just committed a series of murders could have such a charming side.
Chen Xiaoya crossed her arms and stared at Hailong, almost in a daze. Hailong was truly a combination of an angel and a demon. Looking at his appearance, who would have thought he was just a 20-year-old boy? She scolded herself for thinking such things, blushed, and nodded, then followed Hailong downstairs.
Hailong had expected Li Wanhuo to bring only a few people to pick him up, but to his surprise, Li Wanhuo had brought an entire fleet of cars, including a limousine followed by a medical convoy. The long line of vehicles blocked the entrance of the five-star hotel, but no one dared to complain.
Li Wanhuo stood at the hotel entrance, waiting for Hailong. Seeing Hailong's arrival, Li Wanhuo, who was unexpectedly domineering, said excitedly, "Last night, my wife's condition worsened. The giant jellyfish's poison took effect in the middle of the night, causing her to shiver and have difficulty breathing. She was rushed to the emergency room and only stabilized in the early morning. Hailong, this time it all depends on you. You must get the poison sac for me."
Hailong was surprised to hear that Li Wanhuo's wife was so seriously ill. Seeing Li Wanhuo's frantic state, Hailong said, "Let's go. We'll head straight to the small fishing village. I'll dive from there. I don't need any diving equipment, and no one needs to go with me. The conditions at the bottom of the Devil's Sea are too complex. I can barely protect myself, let alone save others." Li Wanhuo quickly nodded in understanding.
Li Wanhuo had already tried to find a diving company to enter the Devil's Sea, but none of them could make it past the huge waves. Even with a ten million yuan offer, no one was willing to enter the Devil's Sea because the money would be useless if they didn't survive. On the way, Li Wanhuo was visibly anxious, his fists clenched, his face showing anger, madness, and worry. The aura he emitted made Chen Xiaoya, who was sitting next to him, barely able to breathe. The secretary was sweating profusely. Hailong patted Li Wanhuo's shoulder and said, "Old Li, don't worry. I'll get the poison sac for you. Trust my abilities."
Hearing Hailong's words, Li Wanhuo nodded, his mood slightly easing. He looked back at the limousine where his wife was receiving treatment.
They soon arrived at the seaside of the small fishing village. Hailong asked everyone to wait on the shore. After taking off his outer clothes, he told Li Wanhuo, "Don't worry. This isn't difficult for me. I'll be back in an hour." With that, he jumped into the sea under the anxious gazes of Li Wanhuo and the others.
In fact, the poison sac had already been taken to the abandoned shipyard by the Dragon King. However, if Hailong told Li Wanhuo that the poison sac had already been retrieved, Li Wanhuo would surely harbor resentment. Hailong had already retrieved the poison sac but didn't give it to him immediately, which almost cost his wife her life. Once such a grudge formed, it would be hard to resolve. What was supposed to be a good deed might turn into a bad one, and instead of earning Li Wanhuo's gratitude, Hailong might end up being hated. That would be counterproductive.
Hailong put on a show, saying a few words before jumping into the sea. He then swam directly to the abandoned shipyard, where he met the Dragon King. Seeing the poison sac floating in the seawater, Hailong felt relieved. He then looked at the one hundred million yuan in cash, his heart pounding with excitement. He had never seen so much money in his life. From the Dragon King's perspective, the money was different. The Dragon King couldn't spend money, and even if he had a billion yuan, no one would dare to do business with a five-meter-long, electric-shocking monster. But Hailong was different. He was a normal person who could use the money to buy things.
Thinking about this, Hailong was incredibly excited. The sight of the money made his heart race. He was afraid he might faint from the excitement, so he quickly closed the boxes. He sat on top of them, happily pondering how to spend the money. It was a happy problem, but it was still a problem. How could he spend so much money?
Hailong decided to buy a luxury villa in a wealthy neighborhood, a red Ferrari, a private jet, and a yacht. He would also buy a large diamond ring to propose to Hu Jing. Imagining Hu Jing's surprised and delighted reaction, Hailong couldn't help but smile.
However, he was still troubled because the money was still too much to spend. It was a real headache. He could buy a luxury villa for a few million, a Ferrari for three million, seven designer suits at ten thousand each, and eat at Michelin three-star restaurants every day, but he would still have money left over. He could live a happy life with his mother and Hu Jing for the rest of his life.
After fantasizing for about half an hour, he knew he had to return to the shore. Otherwise, Li Wanhuo would get worried. Reluctantly, he took one last look at the one hundred million yuan, carefully arranging the ten boxes. He then took the poison sac and swam back to the beach.
To Li Wanhuo, the nearly one hour felt like a year. The cold winter wind was howling, and sweat was dripping down his forehead. He paced anxiously on the beach, and the doctor responsible for using the poison sac to treat his wife was also there, waiting with him. Li Wanhuo asked the doctor, "Old Wang, we've been friends for decades. Tell me, if we get the poison sac, can it really cure my wife's illness immediately?"
Doctor Wang firmly told Li Wanhuo, "Old Li, after so many years of friendship, would I lie to you? The medical convoy is right there. As soon as we have the poison sac, we'll start making the antitoxin. In half a day, your wife will be as good as new."
Hearing the doctor's words, Li Wanhuo felt slightly more at ease. He checked his watch and said anxiously, "It's almost an hour. Is something wrong with Hailong? The Devil's Sea is rough and stormy, especially in winter. Is he okay?"
Chen Xiaoya came to Li Wanhuo's side and said, "Grandpa, if Hailong said he's fine, he must be fine. He's a decisive person. He wouldn't risk his life for nothing."
Hearing Chen Xiaoya's words, Li Wanhuo thought about it and agreed. Hailong had killed over thirty people to save himself, even though there was no evidence. The police suspected him the most. If getting the poison sac was truly life-threatening, he wouldn't have done it. Hailong must be fine. He probably just took longer because of the distance.
Just as Li Wanhuo was thinking of various reasons, there was a splash in the water. A person emerged from the sea, holding the poison sac. Li Wanhuo looked closely and saw that it was Hailong.
Seeing Hailong, Li Wanhuo felt as if he had seen a family member. He didn't care about the cold seawater and rushed to Hailong, snatching the poison sac as if it were a loved one. The doctor also ran over and said, "We'll start making the antitoxin right away. Give us half a day, and your wife will be fine."
Li Wanhuo said to the doctor, "Brother, it's all up to your medical team now." The doctor nodded, gave Li Wanhuo a determined look, and ran to the medical convoy with the poison sac.
Li Wanhuo didn't know how to express his gratitude to Hailong. In the cold winter, Hailong had dived into the Devil's Sea to retrieve the poison sac without asking for any reward, simply because of their connection. Li Wanhuo, moved by the moment, held Hailong's hand and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Hailong. Thank you so much."
Hailong understood Li Wanhuo's gratitude but also knew that his mind was focused on the antitoxin being prepared. He said to Li Wanhuo, "Old man, you don't need to stay here with me. I'll go clean up in the village. You should go be with your wife." Li Wanhuo and Chen Xiaoya nodded and ran back to the limousine.
