"This fool is acting up again!"

"Exactly!"

Hearing Cao Meng’s haughty words, the two of his henchmen exchanged looks and sighed in frustration.

They thought Cao Meng really had a problem with his head because anyone with a normal brain wouldn’t make such outrageous demands in such a passive situation.

Cao Meng was unaware of their thoughts; his eyes gleaming as he looked at Lin Ya...

...

"Before, I just thought he was lecherous, but now I realize his biggest problem is that he’s not right in the head!"

"Exactly!"

The people standing behind Lin Ya, including Jing, looked at Cao Meng whose eyes were sparkling, and shook their heads gently.

They had interacted with Cao Meng a few times before, so they knew him somewhat.

Because of this understanding, they had long ago labeled him as a lecher.

Now, they realized that this label didn’t quite fit, because his biggest problem wasn’t being lecherous, but rather being completely brainless.

In a situation like this, anyone with a normal brain would keep a low profile!

But instead of keeping a low profile, he was showing off here...

This truly demonstrated that his brain had a pit!

And it was a particularly big pit!

Not receiving an immediate affirmative response, Cao Meng frowned and, somewhat displeased, said, "What? Is it that hard to choose? Following me is definitely better than hiding on this backwater island all day, so I advise you to stop hesitating, it’s absolutely pointless, got it?"

Hearing these angry words, Lin Ya, standing beside Hu Xiaobei, smiled, "So you mean I have to accept your offer?"

"It’s not that you have to accept me, it’s that choosing me is beneficial to you!"

"Hearing you say so, it does seem beneficial! But unfortunately, I’m not accustomed to living with fools!"

"Fool? Who are you calling a fool?"

"Is there anyone here more foolish than you?"

Upon hearing Lin Ya’s retort, Cao Meng instantly knew Lin Ya was clearly talking about him...

Glaring at Lin Ya, Cao Meng rasped a threat, "You shouldn’t eat anything recklessly, and you shouldn’t say anything recklessly either! Sometimes words really invite disaster."

"That’s true!"

After saying this calmly, Lin Ya looked at Hu Xiaobei and said, "Little Bei, I’ve changed my mind. Let’s not save them, let’s go!"

Previously, Lin Ya intended to rescue them, but now, because of Cao Meng, she changed her mind.

Because Lin Ya felt these trash weren’t worth wasting her time on.

"You should have changed your mind long ago!"

Hu Xiaobei laughed heartily, and after this, he maneuvered the small boat beneath their feet to change course.

Soon, they disappeared again into the white mist...

...

"This..."

Cao Meng was dumbfounded!

Not only Cao Meng but his two henchmen were utterly baffled as well...

Because the others had really left...

"Just up and left? Let’s see if they don’t come back!"

Recovering first, Cao Meng forced a nonchalant cough.

Hearing this stubborn remark, the two henchmen couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Damn it! Still pretending like you’re something big here!"

"Exactly! It’s all because of you, you idiot, that we’re in such a passive position now!"

As they cursed vehemently, they directly lifted their feet and kicked him.

Cao Meng didn’t expect them to actually dare to make a move on him, so he was completely unprepared. As a result, kicked hard in the back, he fell clumsily onto the boat.

Rubbing the spot where he was kicked with some embarrassment, he turned around and screamed hysterically, "Are you looking to die?"

Hearing Cao Meng’s roar, they frowned!

"I think you’re the one who’s courting death! You idiot, I really wonder how the old Family Head chose you!"

"Yes indeed, the fact that someone with your IQ has lived this long is a stroke of luck!"

Being rebuked like this made him tremble all over, "Audacious, you are audacious!"

"You’re the audacious one, idiot! Threatening people in a place like this? What right do you have? Your own life is still in the hands of others!"

"Exactly, so now what should we do? Do you really plan to die here, you fool?"

Hearing them shout madly again, he thought carefully and suddenly realized he didn’t know how to leave this place.

"Damn, I got carried away before!"

Recalling his actions earlier, he was drenched in cold sweat.

Earlier, he really hadn’t thought much about it; now that he had thought it through, he realized he really made a mistake before.

"What do we do now? What should we do?"

Utterly panicked, he looked at them and spoke nervously.

At this moment, his mind was a blank, and he had no idea what to do.

Seeing him so panicked, they had a glint of coldness in their eyes, quickly followed by a mocking tone: "Now you’re panicking? What were you doing earlier!"

"I know what I did earlier was wrong, but there’s no point in dwelling on it now. Tell me, what should we do now!"

Giving Cao Meng a glance, they responded calmly, "We do have a method now, but we can’t guarantee it’ll work!"

"Let’s hear it!"

Cao Meng’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Right now, he really couldn’t think of any solution...

In this situation, he knew he had to rely on the two of them, so he tried to lower his posture as much as possible.

Of course, in his heart, he took note of everything.

He planned to settle the score with these two insubordinate subordinates properly when he returned.

Giving Cao Meng another glance, they quickly detailed the method they had thought of.

After listening, Cao Meng’s expression turned incredibly ugly.

"What do you mean? Are you really asking me to beg for mercy? I’m the head of the family! Begging those pieces of trash for mercy? I can’t do it, I just can’t!"

"Family Head, things are different now! They haven’t gone far yet; we still have a chance if we plead. If they go too far and can’t hear us, we won’t even have an opportunity to beg!"

"Exactly, a real man can bend and stretch, now is the time to endure humiliation for greater goals!"

Listening to their persuasion, Cao Meng’s expression turned indecisive!

He knew that the two were looking out for his own good now!

Indeed, begging was necessary, but he still felt humiliated.

Seeing Cao Meng hesitate, they vaguely understood his dilemma...

Exchanging a glance, they persuaded him again, "Family Head, it’s just the two of us here, we will absolutely never tell anyone else, so you can rest assured!"

"Yes, we can swear on it; today’s events will never be spoken of, so no one else will know!"

"Alright then!"

Cao Meng fell silent again for a moment, then woodenly nodded his head...
