Chapter 600: Viewing the Ending

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the moment before losing consciousness, Mei Shu vaguely saw a familiar face.

When she woke up again, her body was in intense pain, causing her to inhale sharply despite herself.

But unexpectedly, she felt very warm at this moment, completely unlike the coldness she experienced when fleeing alone on the ship in her pajamas.

She opened her eyes to a dimly lit cave, where a fire nearby emitted warmth, brightening the entire cave.

Thinking of the face she saw before fainting, Mei Shu tentatively moved her fingers, trying to sit up from the ground. The thick layer of dry straw beneath her was already damp from sweat sticking to her body. As she rose, the straw fell off with a rustle.

“You’re awake? Don’t move! Your wounds were just bandaged!” Feng Wei put down a jar she found from somewhere and hurried over to support Mei Shu back onto the straw.

“You helped me treat my wounds?” Mei Shu asked hesitantly.

Feng Wei blushed, releasing her hand and turning to pick up the jar she had just put down, handing it to Mei Shu. “No, Jiang Hai saved us. Fie helped treat the gunshot wounds on your body. I never expected Lu Si’s men to find you so quickly.”

Mei Shu furrowed her brows slightly, looking at the jar filled with cool water in front of her without moving.

Impatiently, Feng Wei pushed it closer. “Drink it quickly. It’s not poisoned. Jiang Hai said you need to replenish your fluids right now, so he asked me to boil more water for you.”

Mei Shu licked her chapped lips and, with Feng Wei’s help, struggled to sit up, drinking a large gulp of water from the jar. She felt her mind clear a bit, then asked, “Where’s Jiang Hai?”

“He went to find a way to contact Lu Si. You don’t know how dangerous it was at that time!” Feng Wei chattered on, telling Mei Shu everything that happened after she fainted.

Mei Shu then learned that Jiang Hai had already been lurking on the ship, waiting to rescue her at a critical moment.

After she fainted, Jiang Hai quickly took her and Feng Wei onto a small boat prepared in advance, avoiding several gunfights along the way before finally drifting to this deserted island.

The group of people might still be looking for them, so Jiang Hai didn’t dare to send out a signal, lest they be discovered before Lu Si arrived. It would be troublesome if they were found before Lu Si got there.

“So, who exactly wants to kill me?” Mei Shu’s face darkened, and the joints of her fingers holding the jar were covered with a thin layer of sweat from the pain.

Feng Wei took a deep breath, sitting beside Mei Shu and whispered, “I know it’s hard for you to trust me now, but I think I should tell you the truth before Jiang Hai comes back.”

Mei Shu looked at her, frowning. “What do you want to say?”

Feng Wei glanced nervously toward the entrance of the cave, making sure Jiang Hai hadn’t returned before lowering her voice. “You need to make your own decision about this. Don’t just let it go because of your relationship with Lu Si.” Seeing Mei Shu’s increasing confusion, Feng Wei continued, “Let me just tell you straight. The person who wants to kill you is Lu Si’s own aunt! I’m worried Lu Si won’t turn against his aunt for you! Who doesn’t know in our circle how filial Lu Si is? That woman is his mother’s own sister!”

“It’s her.” Mei Shu was momentarily stunned.

Feng Wei exclaimed indignantly, “Yes! What’s wrong with her? What deep-seated hatred do you have with her? Just because you’re dating her nephew? Does she have to kill you to keep it a secret? And she even used guns. Is she part of the underworld?”

Mei Shu teased her eyes on her. “Didn’t you also kidnap me and try to extort money to run away?”

“Can you compare me to her?” Feng Wei said in a low voice, “I just wanted money. I never intended to kill you myself! Moreover, I have figured it out now. The whole thing can’t all be blamed on you. I ended up here today because of Mei Cheng!”

Mei Shu didn’t bother with her self-reflection, standing up on her own and heading out.

Feng Wei quickly stopped her. “Hey hey hey, where are you going? The wound has just been bandaged. If you move, you’ll continue bleeding!”

“I won’t die.” Mei Shu strode to the entrance of the cave, then suddenly turned back, seemingly remembering something.

Feng Wei, puzzled, stood still, “What are you looking at me like that for?”

Mei Shu’s calm gaze fell on the screen beside her, her consciousness moved, and she clicked into the “Ending” interface.

The expected warning did not appear.

Her eyes brightened, and she clicked the confirmation button again. Suddenly, unfamiliar yellow words leaped onto the screen.

“Ending: Feng Wei will be shot and killed on the island.”

Mei Shu’s pupils contracted sharply. When she looked back at Feng Wei, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Feng Wei was creeped out by her stare, shrinking her neck and retreating to the corner, anxiously probing, “What are you looking at? Is there something here?”

Mei Shu’s face darkened, and she stepped forward, taking a deep breath, as if it took a lot of effort to make a certain decision. Suddenly, she clenched her fist and punched Feng Wei’s stomach heavily..
