Zhang Ke refused without hesitation, his tone icy: "I won't tie the rope. Who knows if you'll run away if I get into trouble? Just choose a gap between the trees when you get into the water."
Su Man wanted to persuade him, but the look in Lu Yuwen's eyes silenced her...
Zhang Ke was completely in control of the rhythm on the boat.
He instructed Su Man to retrieve the arrows from the water;
Lu Yuwen to prepare the short rope to bind the arrows;
When Su Man returned, he told her to inform him of the exact location of the arrows.
Su Man and Lu Yuwen complied obediently, following his command to the letter.
As the task of positioning the arrows required Zhang Ke to get into the water, some compromise was essential for cooperation.
Zhang Ke understood this well.
However, despite the complying attitudes of Su Man and Lu Yuwen, he still did not trust them. Before jumping into the water, he replaced the ordinary hemp rope with Mr. Dongguo's rope.
