Gan Tang felt a chill beside her ear as a dagger pinned a long snake to the ground, leaving blood everywhere. The snake writhed and convulsed, its slender body writhing. Suddenly, its head broke free and lunged at Gan Tang again.

"Ah..." Yuan Biao, holding a large rock, rushed in front of Gan Tang and smashed it down on the snake's head.

Gan Tang recoiled in fright, but a strong arm steadily caught her as she was about to fall. Once Gan Tang regained her footing, Mo Huaixing withdrew his arm and asked, "Are you bleeding?"

As the two of them reached a fork in the road, they happened to witness a venomous snake attacking Gantang.

"No!" Gan Tang shook her head. The person had just used too much force and scratched her, but didn't break the skin.

Yuan Biao smashed the snake's head to pieces and glared angrily at Mo Huaixing, "How did you conduct the inspection...?"

Mo Huaixing gave him a single glance, and Yuan Biao shut his mouth in fear.

Gan Tang turned to look in Lin Shuang's direction, only to see a figure hurriedly leaving.

It wasn't far away, and with such a loud noise, they shouldn't have missed it!

Back in her room, Gan Tang found Lin Shuang increasingly strange. It wasn't just her reaction, but also her behavior. Normally, she never wore such strong perfume. Besides, Lu Zhengqian was recuperating and couldn't possibly smell perfume.

Are you bleeding?

Mo Huaixing's words echoed in her ears, and Gan Tang walked to the mirror to examine her wounds. The ointment on her neck was still wet, so she reached out and wiped it off.

There was a faint medicinal scent mixed with a hint of blood. The area where it was applied did not bleed. Venomous snakes are most attracted to the smell of blood and most averse to perfume.

She wanted to kill me! Gan Tang suddenly realized.

But why?

It doesn't make sense that he was afraid of telling Lu Zhengqian because he failed, and that's why Lin Shuang killed him. There was no signal on the island, and with that time difference, Lin Shuang couldn't possibly know the outcome or receive the orders.

No. The medical conditions on a cruise ship are such that you wouldn't die even if you were bitten by a venomous snake.

So the truth is, according to their plan, after "he" succeeded, Lin Shuang would then poison herself. This was to let her know that if she didn't listen to them, she could die at any moment.

Furthermore, they possess nude photos of her, which she dares not easily reveal to Lu Zhengqian. This allows them to gradually control and command her, step by step, making her a complete pawn in his game.

After much thought, Gan Tang felt this guess was the most reasonable, and a chill ran down her spine. Was her life, which she had managed to save with such difficulty, really going to be lost like this?

Should I tell Lu Zhengqian? But I have no evidence; will he believe me?

In my chaotic mind, a sentence that Mo Huaixing once said flashed through my mind: Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to have weaknesses and leverage in other people's hands!

Because of those words, her parents were temporarily safe, and she escaped a life of peril. Now, can those words from Mo Huaixing still save her?

Since "he" wants to take nude photos of himself to control himself, what's wrong with giving them to "him"?

Making the decision was easy, but when Gan Tang asked for a camera under the pretext of taking pictures of the island's scenery, she realized how difficult it would be to actually do it. Gan Tang, who hadn't looked closely at her own body for many years, stood in front of the mirror for a full half hour before taking a single photo.

So this is what my body is like. The photo slowly emerged from under the camera. Gan Tang touched the still-warm photo, tears welling in her eyes, and put it into an envelope.

After dinner, Gan Tang excused herself to get something and went back to the cruise ship with Lin Shuang. Reaching the deck, Gan Tang stopped and exclaimed, "No wonder you're a top student from the Biology Department of Nanhua University; biology is really good!"

She's a popular actress, so it's not surprising that people know her background. What's surprising is that it's being revealed at this time.

Lin Shuang pulled Gan Tang to the side away from the deserted island and asked urgently, "What do you mean?"

"You just want my photos, here you go!" Gan Tang brushed her hand away, took an envelope from her pocket, and smiled, "I won't report you to Father, so you can rest assured?"

Although she knew their purpose wasn't to prevent her from reporting them, but rather to exploit her.

Seeing Gan Tang leave, Lin Shuang opened the envelope. After just one glance, she quickly put the envelope away and ran back to her room. With these nude photos, He Zhong had no reason to force Gan Tang to frame "him," otherwise Gan Tang would definitely discover the truth.

So, I'm safe!

Lin Shuang stood barefoot in the room, her shoulders trembling. Suddenly, she grabbed a bottle of moisturizing lotion and ran into the bathroom. Half a bottle of pale green liquid had stained the toilet bowl green, but as she flushed, the liquid gradually cleared.

Being bitten by a venomous snake isn't so easy to die from with Dr. Mu Zi around. So Lin Shuang secretly stored some venom, intending to inject it into Gan Tang during her treatment to create the illusion of death from poisoning.

We don't need to anymore.

Lin Shuang excitedly wiped away her tears, picked up the photo, and went to find He Zhong. He Zhong was taking a bath with his wife in the room when he heard Lin Shuang's voice and was somewhat displeased.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Shuang stood outside the door. Hearing his question, she knew there were other people in the room, so she said cover-up, "Fourth Master, Mr. Fu is looking for you."

A moment later, two women emerged, their hair disheveled and their clothes soaking wet. Lin Shuang knew she had ruined his plans, and unconsciously clutched her collar, secretly regretting coming at this time.

The next second, the door opened halfway, and He Zhong pulled Lin Shuang inside.

"What is it?" He Zhong leaned against the glass wall, naked, and pinched Lin Shuang's body.

"Gan, Gan Tang's nude photos." Lin Shuang hurriedly took out the envelope, avoiding his touch. He Zhong looked surprised, plopped down on the sofa, opened the envelope, and looked at it with great interest.

“These breasts aren’t as big as yours. But you know what, developing a virgin’s body like this is even more exciting.” He Zhong leaned his face close to the photo, inhaling deeply with a look of ecstasy.
