Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mei Shu’s attitude grew increasingly disdainful, using this emotion only to conceal her anger.

“You don’t even dare to kill them, yet you’re talking tough in front of me? Zhang Jiao, you’re just a useless coward. If you have the guts, stab me to death right now!”

“Do you think I don’t dare?” Zhang Jiao growled, but his eyes quickly glanced toward the room.

Mei Shu sneered, “Of course, you don’t dare. If you kill me, you’ll lose the fortune within your grasp! Before you get the money, you can’t do anything!”

Zhang Jiao, completely provoked, fiercely gripped her neck, pressing her against the wall. “Don’t push me! Don’t push me!”

“What’s going on?” Chen Jian, who was sleeping in the room, heard the commotion and immediately put on clothes to come out.

Mei Shu seized the opportunity, kicking Zhang Jiao in the stomach. As he winced in pain, she swiftly took the knife from his hand, circled behind him, and placed the blade against his neck.

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed.

Chen Jian, startled by the scene, instinctively pulled out a knife from his pocket and pointed it at Mei Shu. “How did you get out? Damn it! Didn’t Feng Wei say you were still asleep?”

Mei Shu cut into Zhang Jiao’s flesh with the knife. Listening to the man’s muffled groan in front of her, she felt a sense of satisfaction. “Chen Jian, how dare you kidnap me? Turn the ship back to Lincity immediately, or I’ll cut your flesh into pieces and feed the fish in the sea!”

“You bunch of useless trash!” Chen Jian’s gloomy gaze shifted away from Zhang Jiao’s face. He didn’t care whether Zhang Jiao lived or died, charging directly at Mei Shu with his knife.

Mei Shu kicked Zhang Jiao away, dodging his attack, then quickly grabbed his hand holding the knife and forcefully twisted it downward, effortlessly disarming him.

“Thought you had some tricks up your sleeve.” Mei Shu’s emotions were more uncontrollable than usual.

Since encountering Zhang Jiao, her heart had been filled with nearly uncontrollable anger. She used these two people as an outlet!

As a grown man, Chen Jian couldn’t accept the fact that he couldn’t beat a young girl.

He climbed up from the ground, although he had broken an arm, the pain made him break into a cold sweat. Nonetheless, he stared with determination, seizing the opportunity to charge at Mei Shu again.

Mei Shu grinned with a hint of fierceness, kicking him in the stomach without hesitation.

Chen Jian spat out a mouthful of filth, the foul smell spreading across the deck.

“What’s going on?” Feng Wei emerged belatedly from the room, wrapped in a shawl.

Seeing Mei Shu standing in front of her unscathed, while the other two clutched their stomachs on the ground, she widened her eyes in disbelief. “How did you untie yourself? Don’t come near me!”

Mei Shu grinned menacingly, approaching her step by step, a bloodied knife in her hand.

Feng Wei was terrified, falling accidentally onto the deck, desperately crawling forward.

Mei Shu crouched behind her, grabbing her hair, and laughed, “1 said, tenfold retribution, remember?”

“No, please!” Feng Wei trembled in fear, clutching her head, pleading in a trembling voice, “Even if you kill me now, you can’t go back! Don’t kill me. I don’t want the money anymore! It was those two who forced me to do this!”

Mei Shu glanced back in the direction behind her, “Did you hear that, Chen Jian? She says she did it because you forced her.”

Chen Jian spat on the ground, about to say something, when suddenly a huge cruise ship appeared behind their small boat, the glaring lights suddenly enveloping the small vessel.

Mei Shu instinctively squinted.

She hadn’t expected Lu Si’s people to arrive so quickly, all the effort she had put in late at night wasn’t in vain.

But the next second, her just-relaxed heart suddenly tightened again. Her keen ears caught the sound of something slicing through the air.

This wasn’t right!

Without thinking much, Mei Shu quickly moved from her original position. A bullet pierced her arm, sending excruciating pain throughout her body.

She clutched her injured arm, facing the light, looking towards the cruise ship.

If she hadn’t had keen hearing to dodge in time, that shot would have hit her heart!

This person really intended to kill her!

Mei Shu tightened her lips, holding the dagger and retreating to the shooter’s blind spot, her breath quickening due to pain. “Who are you?”

“You don’t need to know.” A stranger’s voice echoed from the ship, followed by another bullet slicing through the night sky. Mei Shu closed her mouth tightly, no longer making a sound, quickly hiding in the room Chen Jian had just vacated, rummaging through the drawer to find tissues to press against the bleeding wound.

She had never dealt with a gunshot wound, but luckily, she had accumulated a certain level of medical expertise before. She could try to treat the wound herself.

The critical issue now was that the other party wouldn’t easily give her time to catch her breath and treat the injury!

Sure enough, the next second, Mei Shu heard someone boarding the ship, and the ship’s body shook violently before regaining balance..
