“Worthless!”
The woman, infuriated, smashed the glass in her hand on the man’s head and stood up fiercely. “She clearly got shot just now. Can she still swim away?”
The crimson liquid trickled down the man’s forehead.
He calmly straightened his head and said, “Sorry, I’ve searched the entire ship, but there’s really no one. The only possibility is that she’s already on our ship.”
The woman smirked coldly as she sat back in her lounge chair, her anger turning into a playful expression. “Well then, since she’s come to us, isn’t it convenient for you to handle her? You won’t mess it up this time, will you?”
“I definitely won’t,” the man assured her, bowing slightly, then left the upper deck to go to the deck.
He had seen clearly that Mei Shu had hidden in that corner just now.
But he couldn’t figure out how she managed to leave.
This was the first time someone had slipped away under his nose without a sound.
Thinking wildly, he reached the only point where the two ships had connected.
If Mei Shu really got on board, this was the only place she could have come up from.
“Brother, should the ship continue forward?” the mercenary responsible for sailing asked as he approached.
The man’s eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, “The master didn’t say to stop, so keep going. It’ll be easier to deal with her out at sea.”
“Got it.” The mercenary nodded and quickly went back to steer the ship.
The man was about to leave when something caught his eye—a splash of crimson. His steps faltered.
He squatted down, astonished, looking at a spot on the ship where blood had clearly stained the deck, a smile of understanding curling his lips.
“So that’s it.”
It seemed she really had managed to get onto their ship!
The man quietly left the deck and instructed his men to kill Zhang Jiao and the other two to silence them, then quietly arranged for a search of the entire ship. He wanted to see where she could possibly hide!
In a small storage room.
Mei Shu collapsed against the wall, exhausted.
As the invisibility wore off, her body gradually became visible.
She had only managed to hide here within such a short period of time.
The wound on her arm needed urgent attention, or she might lose the entire arm.
She gritted her teeth, pulled out the small knife she had snatched from Zhang Jiao, took a deep breath, and stabbed it into the wound.
“All!”
Mei Shu turned pale from the pain, blood trickling from her bitten lip, but she didn’t stop, continuing to probe the wound with the tip of the knife, the pungent smell of blood filling the cramped space.
After a while, Mei Shu finally breathed a long sigh, dropping the knife to the ground, along with a small bullet.
She had nearly fainted from the pain several times but managed to stay conscious through sheer willpower.
She couldn’t afford to lose consciousness here, or she would surely die!
Mei Shu forced herself to sit up, using a piece of cloth soaked in blood to clean up the floor, then cutting off a piece of her pants to tightly bind the wound.
She was afraid that this position would make her fall asleep completely.
She used the toilet paper that was stained with blood to wipe the blood off the ground. Then, she used the knife to cut off a portion of the corner of her pants and wrapped the torn fabric tightly around the wound.
Once done, she slowly stood up, leaning against the wall for support.
Hiding here indefinitely wasn’t an option; sooner or later, they would find her, and she had to fight back to survive.
[System, how many points do I have left to use?]
[Master, you have 120 points remaining, and invisibility consumes 20 points each time.]
[It’s enough.]
Mei Shu smirked coldly, slowly making her way to the door, listening for any sounds outside before cautiously opening it and stepping out.
Turning a corner down a long corridor,
Mei Shu heard footsteps not far away.
She quickly slipped into an empty room, closing the door behind her just as the people outside reached her door.
“Those three are really unlucky. Why did they happen to kidnap our boss’s target? Now, the boss doesn’t want this to blow up, so she’s using them as scapegoats. We’ll kill them, and then Mei Shu’s death will be blamed on them. No one will know the boss paid us to do it!”
“Do you know that woman? I think I’ve seen her on TV before. Isn’t she a pianist? Look at her hands, so fair. I wonder how they feel!”
“Hey, are you thinking— but the boss wants us to get rid of them quickly!”
“What are you worried about? We can have some fun before we kill them. Her living for an extra hour won’t matter.”
“Listening to you, I’m tempted! Shall we go now?”
“Let’s go! Everyone’s busy looking for Mei Shu. We’ll take advantage of the situation!”
In the room next door, separated by a wall, Mei Shu heard every word clearly.
She narrowed her eyes, judging by the voices that the two had moved away. She cautiously opened the door and followed..
