Chapter 377: As Long as We Remain Friends
There was no continuation of the dialogue.
What just happened changes the atmosphere of the boat. A bullet just killed two men. The people in the helicopter cannot be
underestimated.
Jamie realizes that the men in black are taking severe losses. But she has not seen the man who spoke to her just now. He
should be their leader. But why doesn’t he show himself when so many of his men had died. Is he scared?
Jamie purses her lips. Please don’t let them hand her over to the people in the helicopter. She doesn’t want to jump out of the
frying pan and into the fire.
If what she had said were heard by Dan and Bunny, then they’d use the megaphone to scream till she hears them. We’re here to
save you and you’re not happy? You’re not willing to leave with us?
“Son, I can’t see your mommy anymore. Let’s think of a way to stop the boat.” Dan pats Bunny’s shoulder. One sentence and he
stops Bunny. Should he fire or not? He is conflicted.
Bunny looks at Dan, Daddy must be doing it on purpose, he surely is! But what he says is reasonable. It’s important to save
mommy and not fight it out.
“Shoot in that direction.” Dan points to a particular position of the white boat. If you damage that area, then even if it doesn’t stop,
it will have to slow down. Once it slows down, we’ll have a chance to get closer to it.
The men in black are being picked off one by one by Dan. This boat can’t accommodate that many people and most of them had
been killed. He is not concerned about them.
Now he is only concerned about one thing.
Once Bunny sees where Dan is pointing, his sulking face lightens up like a blooming flower. He holds steady the small gun and
aims at that position.
As soon as the pilot hears them, he positions the helicopter in a position to facilitate the shot.
It’s now or never.
Bunny squints and squeezes the trigger. “Bang” the bullet hit exactly where Dan was pointing.
Even the pilot who is usually very picky and has high standards is impressed by the shot. Like father like son!
Bunny’s little face was not too arrogant when he sees the position where the bullet hit. True enough, the boat starts to slow
down.
The design of this boat is different from the others. No one expects that the most vulnerable part of the boat is not inside but at
its most obvious and eye-catching location. And that’s also why no one realizes it.
But Dan has seen the design plans of this type of boat and when he sees something he doesn’t easily forget. He didn’t expect to
utilize this knowledge for this encounter.
As the boat slows down, Jamie’s churning stomach feels better and the wind wasn’t as strong.
The atmosphere on the boat became tensed. The men in black continue to shoot at the helicopter. They also sent men to watch
Jamie and Ryan, not giving them any chance of escape.
“...” Jamie clenches her teeth. At this point, where can they run to?
Dan’s helicopter gets closer and closer to the boat. But the men are prepared. If the helicopter approaches without any
preparation, it might be shot up like swiss cheese.
At this moment, a man in black used the loudspeaker, like Bunny, and shouted, “If you don’t want her to be injured, then get
away from us!”
When the man was shouting, Jamie was right beside but was wearing the earmuffs and with the wind, she can’t hear clearly
what he said.
“If you don’t release her, then let’s see who will be the one injured.” Bunny retorts loudly.
These scoundrels must have kidnapped his mommy for an important reason. Before getting what they want, they will not harm
her.
“If you don’t believe, then you can try. I can shoot her right now!” The man in black was ruthless. He points his gun at the sea
and fires a bullet, kicking up a splash.
Bunny wants to shout but is stopped by Dan. He turns and looks at his daddy’s calm expression and feels safe and secure.
“Captain, back off a little.” Dan said.
“Yes Sir.” The pilot turns the helicopter and takes up a position further away.
When they see the helicopter backing off, they sighed collectively in relief. If they ended up going head to head, they might not
be a match for the person in the helicopter. Good thing they still had a ‘hostage’.
Without the downwash and the noise from the rotors, Jamie’s face wasn’t as stiff and painful as before. She loosens the ear
muffs and asks Ryan, “Have they given up?”
Ryan laughs and looks at her, “Most likely not, it’s just temporary, perhaps they’ll attack again in a while.”
Jamie sighed softly and warmly said, “I’m sorry to drag you into this battle but I have to thank you, Ryan.”
“Don’t be silly, what’s there to thank between friends?” Ryan reaches for her hair which was entangled with the earmuffs, then
looks tenderly at her.
“Of course we’re friends.” Jamie smiles, though she is uncomfortable with his actions, she didn’t want him to feel bad and didn’t
dodge his moves.
“Friends forever?” Ryan isn’t sure and asks again.
Jamie was surprised and laughs, “Of course forever, unless you despise me and don’t want to be my friend anymore?”
“No, how can that be? I’m just afraid that after you married Dan, you’ll forget about me.” He answers.
“Once a friend, always a friend. What’s there to worry about?” Jamie places her chin on her knees and sees his strange
expression and then says, “Am I the type who is ungrateful?”
How can she forget that he saved her life?
As long as they remain friends. Ryan’s eyes are full of complex emotions that are hard to read.
At this moment, the father and son in the helicopter realize where they are taking Jamie to.
