"Hehehehe~ You guys take your time searching, this young master is making his escape~"
Fang Er popped his head out of the sea, switching his flying oxygen mask for one designed for diving.
After glancing at the fighter jets in the sky and the warships in the distance, he dove underwater and swam towards the small island.
Halfway there, he hijacked a sea turtle to use as an engine. How convenient is that?
"Pfft~~"
Taking off the mask, he walked onto the island on the sand. The distance of several dozen li had taken him a good two to three hours underwater, and he’d gone through several oxygen tanks.
Even so, fighter jets were still zipping back and forth in the sky far away.
On the sea, countless ships were searching for his tracks.
Walking to the other side of the island, Hu Zi and his kin were still there, expectantly waiting for him.
"Hahahaha~~ Wait, I'll be feeding you all in a moment!"
Fang Er let out a loud laugh, tossing out several dead wild oxen. He skinned them, dismembered them, and threw the lean meat into the sea.
"You're generous, brother. From now on, Tiger Lord will look out for you in these waters~"
Hu Zi was overjoyed at the sight. After nodding repeatedly at him, he began to feast.
Once they had their fill, Fang Er unceremoniously hopped onto Hu Zi's back: "Go, take me back~"
By the time he returned to Qin Island, it was already noon the next day. On a deserted beach, after rewarding the whale pod, he took out his Jihu electric car and drove towards the airport.
Showing the special pass given by Commander Liu to the special police at the airport, he bought a plane ticket without even needing to show his ID card.
While waiting for his flight, he idly scrolled through Douyin in the departure lounge, wanting to see if there was any news online about the commotion he had caused yesterday.
As it turned out, it was all sensationalist marketing accounts with no bottom line.
"Yesterday, the provincial capital of Elephant Province successfully thwarted an organized and premeditated terrorist operation, arresting 22 terrorists~"
What the hell, aren't those Li Shimin and Li Tai!
Why did they end up here?
And they were arrested, which is really screwed up!
He quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Commander Liu's number.
"Hahahaha, Comrade Fang, what made you think of calling me? Do you have some good stuff to send my way?"
As soon as the call was connected, Commander Liu asked with great eagerness.
"Uh, I do have something I need your help with~" Fang Er quickly explained.
"Hmm? Tell me, what can I help you with?" Commander Liu sounded a little confused.
"Well, you know about the twenty-odd armed men arrested yesterday in Elephant Province, right?"
"I know, what's up, does it involve you?"
"They're my friends~"
"Hiss~~ That's going to be difficult. Carrying firearms on the street, and over twenty AKs. It's been so many years since such a major case occurred~"
"One Apache~"
"No, this is a matter of principle. They have already caused public panic."
"Two Apaches! No more than that~"
"Deal!"
"Wait there. There happens to be a plane patrolling overhead, I'll have it pick you up~"
"Uh, you know my location?"
"Heh~ Heh~ Hehehe!"
Fang Er: ...........
Ten minutes later, he casually tossed his plane ticket into the trash bin. He was led through a special channel to the tarmac, where a fighter jet was already waiting for him.
Under the shocked gazes of the passengers in the departure lounge, the fighter jet quickly took off and disappeared.
In the military hangar, Commander Liu looked at the two Apaches in front of him and enthusiastically slapped Fang Er on the back several times.
"Hahaha, good kid!"
"Wait, I'll have your people sent over~"
"No, no, no, I'll go pick them up myself," Fang Er quickly refused.
He didn't know what old Li and the others had confessed, and it was better if fewer people met them before he understood the situation clearly!
Seeing Fang Er's refusal, Commander Liu didn't insist and instead sent someone to escort him.
That night, Fang Er arrived at the place where Li Shimin and the others were being held.
Commander Liu sent a person to assist, and they successfully brought them out.
Looking at Li Shimin emerging from within, Fang Er was a bit stunned.
What the heck, what kind of treatment did he receive to look like a sick chicken?
"Achoo~~~!"
"Ha~ Ha~~ Achoo~~~!"
The night wind was a bit chilly. As soon as the slight breeze touched Li Shimin, he started sneezing, looking expectantly at Fang Er.
"Boy, hurry up and find me a physician to examine me~"
Fang Er stepped forward and felt his forehead. It was burning hot. He couldn't help but turn to look at the special police who escorted him out and asked with an unfriendly tone.
"What did you do to him?"
The special police officer was a woman. Upon hearing his question, she calmly replied with four words: "Normal interrogation~"
"Normal interrogation can make a person like this?" Fang Er glared at her fiercely.
The female special police officer retorted, "They were carrying firearms on the street. What, do you expect us to interrogate them like ordinary citizens?"
Fang Er: ...........
Damn it, she has a point!
"Slap!"
Just then, someone suddenly slapped him on the head.
Turning his head, he saw Li Shimin staring at him: "I forbid you from troubling this young lady!"
"Pah! You're the young lady, your whole family are young ladies. Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll have you all arrested again~" The female special police officer's demeanor immediately changed to that of a tigress upon hearing his words.
Fang Er almost burst out laughing. Old Li's attempt at acting cool had backfired spectacularly.
The group left the special police station, strolling and enjoying the night view as they walked towards a nearby hospital.
Their firearms had been confiscated by the special police, so they no longer had to worry about being mistakenly arrested.
Halfway there, seeing that the park by the roadside was empty, Fang Er pulled Li Shimin into a small grove and asked sternly.
"Dad, what did you guys say in there?"
"Achoo~~~!" Li Shimin rubbed his nose and explained.
"We told them the truth. I am the Emperor, looking for a son-in-law. Those guys didn't believe me. Then came the 'ice and fire torture,' which almost killed me!"
"Where's your phone?" Fang Er asked.
"Here~" Li Shimin handed it over casually.
Fang Er opened it and flipped through the contents, looking at him with confusion: "Dad, why are all the photos gone from here?"
Li Shimin's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this: "I took some pictures a few days ago that couldn't be seen by outsiders, but your aunt saw them and deleted all of them~"
"Phew~~"
Fang Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness.
Afterward, he beckoned Li Tai and the guards over and pointed to the surrounding night scenery, saying to Li Shimin.
"Dad, there are some things I need to explain to you in advance. As you can see, this place is completely different from ours."
"They have something called nuclear bombs, which can destroy a city instantly."
"This world has a population of nearly seven billion. Both land and mineral resources are very scarce."
"Compared to their weapons, our guns and cannons are like toys."
"Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden for anyone to know our origin, otherwise, the Great Tang will face a devastating disaster!"
The guards' faces turned pale upon hearing this. Fortunately, they hadn't made any moves that day, otherwise...
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's back was inadvertently soaked with cold sweat. He quickly said to everyone.
"Listen to me, everyone. No one is allowed to speak carelessly. Until we return, everyone will do as An Zhi says!"
"Your subordinate obeys the decree~"
