Chapter 921 I advise you not to meddle in other people's business

The other cargo ship crew members who were watching the commotion were all startled, and Captain Liu and Lao Wang's expressions changed drastically.

Captain Liu's change of expression was due to the death toll Ye Wanxi had just revealed, while Old Wang's change of expression was purely out of shock and...guilt.

"Nonsense! My ship has never carried anyone other than crew members, and no one has ever died! You've never even been on my ship, yet you're spouting so many baseless accusations to slander me. What is your purpose?"

"I have no ulterior motives, I just can't bear to see poor people leave their homes and lose their lives, not to mention that in the end they can't even bring back their corpses."

Old Wang's expression darkened slightly. He wanted to say something more, but Ye Wanxi interrupted him again: "Have you been feeling cold in your limbs lately, no matter how much you try to warm them up? Have you been experiencing unusual pain in your shoulders when you rest, feeling even more tired than when you haven't rested? Have you been feeling something pressing down on you when you sleep, making it hard to breathe and unable to open your eyes?"

Ye Wanxi said this to the crew members behind Lao Wang, and their expressions changed slightly.

They haven't been feeling well lately. Even though the weather is gradually getting warmer, their limbs are always cold and freezing.

I never sleep peacefully, often have nightmares, and feel sore and tired every time I wake up.

They hadn't paid much attention to it before, assuming it was due to the high humidity and changeable weather at sea, plus the fact that these old sailors were getting on in years and their physical strength wasn't as good as it used to be.

But upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the group felt a chill run down their spines, and some of the more timid ones couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing the crew member's appearance, Old Wang's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She's never even been on our ship. How could she know anything? She's definitely making it up to scare you."

Several crew members moved their mouths, thinking to themselves that she had never been on a ship before, but what she had just said was all true!

When Captain Liu heard what Old Wang said, his eyes sharpened: "She's never been on a ship, so she certainly doesn't know anything? So, you're admitting that what she just said is true?"

Old Wang was stunned, then frowned and said, "That's not what I meant! You're clearly just making excuses!"

"Whether it's sophistry or not, why don't we just call them out and ask them?"

"What?"

Before Old Wang could even understand what Ye Wanxi meant, a yellow talisman suddenly flew out of her hand.

The talisman swept past the people behind him, entered the cabin, and disappeared.

Looking at the dark cabin behind him, Old Wang suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if... something inside might jump out at any moment.

And indeed, the talisman fluttered into the cabin and into the air, creating ripples.

As the ripples spread to the third circle, a figure suddenly pounced out of the cabin and grabbed Old Wang by the throat.

"Ghost! There's a ghost!" A high-pitched scream mingled with the sound of Old Wang's legs giving way and him falling to the ground, and occasionally the sounds of people around him gasping in fright could be heard.

Captain Liu and the others almost instinctively went into alert mode, shielding the ordinary people around them behind them.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the figure that had lunged out was actually a young man in his early twenties. He was wearing an inexpensive white shirt, had regular features, but his face had an unnatural bluish tinge.

His hands were gripping Old Wang's neck tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, showing how much force he was using.

"Why...why do you want to kill me? I don't want anything anymore, I don't want anything anymore, why won't you let me go? Why?"

The man grew angrier as he spoke, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

Old Wang was truly terrified. He tried desperately to pry the other person's hands off his neck, but found that the other person was extremely strong and he couldn't loosen his grip even after trying for a long time.

He could only stammer, his face flushed, "No...it's not my fault. It was Young Master Qiu who had you arrested and brought here. Blame it on you for offending the wrong person. I...I was just doing someone else's bidding. Your...your deaths were an accident. The grievances have their perpetrators...the debts have their debtors. If you want to find someone, go find Young Master Qiu, don't come looking for me! Help...help..."

"Young Master Chou?" The man's expression froze for a moment, and the strength in his hand unconsciously loosened.

But he quickly regained his senses, his expression becoming even more terrifying, and he tightened his grip on Old Wang's neck.

"Qiu Yanwen, Qiu Yanwen... It's him, it's him! He's already taken everything from me, taken my family, why isn't he satisfied? Why won't he let me go? Why... why..."

"Qiu Yanwen? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

The few special department guys following behind Captain Liu muttered something under their breath when they heard what the man said.

Another young man next to him seemed to have realized something and suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that the general manager of Yuanqiu Entertainment Group?"

"Huh? What general manager? Is he famous?"

"He's the general manager of an entertainment company. He's quite good-looking and supposedly a rich second-generation. The entertainment company is owned by his family, and his father is the boss. My sister likes a young male celebrity in their company, surnamed Lian. She happened to see him on TV a few days ago and told me that the boss of this entertainment company is even better looking than the celebrity, which makes her want to switch sides."

"So he's a rich man? What grudge did this person have against him? He was even kidnapped... and murdered to cover it up? The waters of the wealthy are really deep!"

Ye Wanxi had excellent hearing. After listening to the discussion, she silently agreed in her heart: "Isn't that right? The grudge between the person in front of us and that enemy is no ordinary drama, and the waters here are no ordinary depths."

However, the most urgent task is to save him. Old Wang has been choked until his eyes roll back and he's barely clinging to life.

“He’s right. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Your death was an accident. Although he was an accomplice, there was someone else who truly wanted you to die. If you strangle him now, you will be burdened with a blood debt and turn into a vengeful ghost on the spot. At that time, we will have no choice but to become your enemy.”

"You may have killed the person who caused your death, but you can no longer witness the fate of the murderer who killed you and those who betrayed you. Are you content with that?"

Hearing Ye Wanxi's words, the man looked up and glared at her angrily: "Resigned? Of course I'm not resigned. They wouldn't give me a way out when I was alive, and now that I'm dead, can't I get my revenge? This is my grudge against them, and even as a vengeful ghost, I won't let any of them go. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise..."
