Chapter 347 Flora's Crime
The crew member next to him took a closer look and pulled the captain's sleeve: "That's not right! Boss, look, that person is Su Ming! He's the one who killed the devil!"
The captain touched his greasy cheek, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Judging from the situation just now, the guy was indeed being hunted by the alliance, but why was he being hunted?
That guy is considered a people's hero on this island. Looking at him, he doesn't look like an idiot who would do bad things.
Su Ming came to the airship and jumped onto it.
The captain standing at the bow jumped off the airship and turned to the crew behind him and said, "Guys! Hurry up and jump off to make way for Mr. Su!"
The crew members obeyed the captain's orders and jumped off the airship one after another. Su Ming looked at these people blankly, as if he understood something.
Flora, who had just caught up from a distance, saw these crew members jumping off the airship one after another, with a puzzled expression: "Holander, you...?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Flora. We can't help you, although we really want to. But if we get involved in this matter, we will be accomplices, and we can't afford the risk. But we can give the airship to Mr. Su, that's the best we can do." The captain said shamelessly.
Flora stared at the captain of the smuggling ship, her emerald green eyes gradually turning pale gold.
She knew that if Su Ming flew the airship alone to leave Dongyang Island, he would never reach his destination safely. The smuggling airships were not like the large airships of the Luhe Alliance, which had powerful armed forces. If they were not piloted by experienced and highly skilled people, they would almost certainly be robbed by air pirates.
In addition, the routes, weather, and air routes occupied by regular airships, only by mastering all the details can an airship become like a ghost in the sky.
He let a rookie like Su Ming take off alone, which was actually equivalent to handing Su Ming over to the air pirates... or the alliance.
It would be impossible for Su Ming to reach the destination safely by flying the airship alone.
"Seriously?" Flora's voice suddenly turned cold.
Holander laughed ingratiatingly and said, "I'm so sorry!"
"If you don't send him away, I will kill you all!" Flora said fiercely.
Holander showed no fear. Although the woman in front of him spoke seriously, he knew she would not do such a thing. She was from the Investigation Bureau, not a criminal with super powers. No matter what, she would not kill anyone.
“I’m sorry…”
Before he could finish his words, a man next to Holander suddenly flew into the air. There were four overlapping slight muffled sounds, and the man's limbs were all folded in reverse, and his screams were blocked in his throat by an invisible hand.
Holander's smile froze as he felt a hand gently touching his neck. The force was very light, like a caress, but it instantly made his hair stand on end.
"Do you want me to kill one for you? 3...2..."
"Everyone aboard!" Holland interrupted Flora's countdown.
He had been flying east and west for many years, traveling around, staying on various islands, and meeting many people with twisted personalities. He could see that Flora was serious... Now he regretted his superficial and reckless judgment, which caused his men to suffer broken bones.
How could he have thought that this woman would not kill anyone? She was already crazy, and he could tell from her eyes!
Holander knew that if he didn't take on this task today, Flora would definitely kill many more people! She was capable of doing such a thing now!
The person who was floating in the air and fainted due to the severe pain was thrown onto the ship by invisible hands. Holland and others also climbed onto the airship one after another. Flora urged them viciously beside them: "Hurry up, if they are faster than you, then I will kill you all!"
Holander climbed onto the airship, glanced at Su Ming with complicated eyes, and walked into the cabin of the airship. Su Ming stood on the deck and looked down, his eyes fell on Xia Xiaoyu: "I'm leaving."
Xia Xiaoyu opened her mouth, but couldn't think of any words to say, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Flora raised her head and looked at Su Ming quietly. She didn’t know if it was her illusion. She felt that Su Ming was looking at her, but also felt that he was not looking at her... But now, besides her, who else is here?
"Be careful on your way, don't sleep too deeply before you reach your destination, and remember to be on guard against them," said Flora.
Su Ming looked at Flora and asked hesitantly, "What are you going to do?"
"You will find out the truth, and when everything comes out, I will be fine."
When saying this, Flora's expression was extremely calm, as if she firmly believed that Su Ming could succeed.
The airship under Su Ming's feet vibrated, and the locks fixed to the ground around it were unfastened one by one. Under the action of the pumice stone, the airship slowly floated up and flew away.
Flora looked at the airship getting smaller and smaller in her field of vision, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She finally did what she had always wanted to do today.
"Sure enough...I can still help a little."
She watched Su Ming leave, turned her head to look at the unconscious public security officer behind her, and then looked around.
"It seems I can't pretend to be unconscious and get away with it." Flora smiled bitterly.
If there were only a few people here, she could just lie down and pretend to be unconscious like those she knocked unconscious. But now there are so many people digging for spiritual salt around, she would not be able to get away with it anyway. The people from the Ministry of Public Security only need to ask any worker working nearby, and they will know that it was she who sent Su Ming onto the spaceship.
There was nothing she could do next, or rather, all she could do was wait there for others to arrive at the scene, and then confess her crime and be punished.
Flora stood quietly with her hands hanging by her legs. She was alone in the middle of the snow-white spiritual salt processing plant, looking lonely and confused, like a prisoner waiting to be hanged.
In the distance, a shirtless elderly man put down his shovel and trotted over to Flora. The old man stared at Flora, licked his lips, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Old man, you...?"
Flora frowned slightly and looked at the old man in front of her with pale dusty skin and chapped lips in confusion. He seemed to be looking for her, but she didn't remember knowing him.
Flora was about to ask, but the old man spoke first.
"I say, lie down! Pretend to faint like them. There is no one else here now." said the old man.
"Ah?" Flora was confused .
The old man looked around and said, "Everyone will keep it a secret. The person who just boarded the boat was District Chief Su, right? He's a good man."
Flora nodded blankly, staring at the old man with a confused expression. She didn't understand why the other party suddenly wanted to help her. Was it because everyone trusted Su Ming?
"You asked the mine owner who took over here to raise our wages, right?" the old man said. He looked at Flora's shocked face and smiled kindly. "You also brought a lot of food for the children. My grandson said you come here every week."
Flora's eyes turned red when she heard the other party talk about what she had done.
When she did all these things, she didn't want anything in return. When she did those things, she just hoped that she could be like Su Ming.
Flora looked around and found that the workers who were processing spiritual salt were standing quietly and looking at her calmly.
For the first time in her life, she felt the warmth from a stranger.
"Lie down quickly!" The old man's tone was a little anxious.
Flora walked to the center of the unconscious crowd, lay down and closed her eyes. Although she did not expect that this crude method could get away with it, if there was a possibility that she would not be charged with aiding a criminal, she hoped that this kind of luck would favor her.
