Zhuang Zhihao immediately tensed up, "I only went with you because I knew it was dangerous. How can you leave me behind?"
"That's why I kept you here. Otherwise, if something really happens, you won't even have anyone to take revenge on."
"What about Weiwei? You haven't been in contact since yesterday, right? There's no signal on the island. You clearly said you would call her every day. Aren't you worried that he'll get angry if he finds out what you've been doing?"
“Weiwei isn’t that petty. Besides, I told her before we came to the island that there was no signal, and I would call her back in two days. You should stay put too. If I find out you’ve complained to Weiwei, I’ll definitely not let you off the hook.”
The sea was very rough, and Jiang Hesheng clearly had ill intentions. The ship sailed directly into the swell.
My intuition was right; almost at the same time, all the men in black on the deck put their hands on their waists.
Seeing this, Jiang Hesheng hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you tell which way the ship was going?"
Jiang Hesheng staggered toward the ship, gripping the mast and peering around, but he didn't actually know where the ship was.
"Captain, position."
“Mr. Jiang, the signal is very weak and we can’t get the correct location, but the ship has indeed left the area we originally set.”
Jiang Hesheng spat angrily, "Mr. Shen, I didn't do this. We already discussed it yesterday, and besides, I wouldn't put myself in such a predicament."
“It’s Jiang Jiaming, it must be Jiang Jiaming. He originally wanted to compete with me for the Yuanyu Phase III project, but my dad put me in charge of it. Oh, and your Shen Qingji is also involved.”
Shen Jize's expression turned somewhat grim. "Go to the safety cabin."
The ship they were sailing on was not an ordinary ship.
Named the Dawn, it is the Jiang family's biggest project in recent years, designed to enable them to safely sail out to sea to negotiate projects.
Ships like these naturally occupy a safe zone, an area that even a single bow and arrow cannot penetrate.
He couldn't predict what Jiang Jiaming was up to, so it was always better to hide for now.
Before anyone could even enter, Zigong Dan shot an arrow at them.
'Bang, bang'
Shen Jize took a few steps back, thus avoiding being hit.
But Jiang Hesheng staggered back several steps.
However, there was no bleeding on his body, which suggests he was wearing a protective garment against arrows.
Jiang Hesheng, who had a fiery temper, immediately said, "Mr. Shen, please go inside first. This is a family matter, and we'll handle it ourselves."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingji's voice came from behind him.
"This is also a family matter, Shen Jize. Don't even think about hiding. Let's settle everything today."
"What do you want to know? Shen Qingji, this is international waters."
Even if someone commits a crime, the law can't control them, especially since he also wants to get rid of the other party.
Shen Jize took a step forward. "I originally thought you were with Jiang Hesheng, but I didn't expect you to be Jiang Jiaming. I overestimated you. If the old man finds out about your collusion with the Jiang family, guess what the consequences will be."
Shen Qingji scoffed, "You talk as if you didn't collude with them."
“We are partners,” Jiang Hesheng emphasized. “We have reached a cooperation agreement and are doing business openly and honestly.”
"Is your business something you can do openly and honestly?" Jiang Jiaming said sarcastically. "Alright, you two can both stay here today. It's better for everyone this way. I can get an important position from the Jiang family, and Shen Qingji can get an important position from the Shen family."
"It might not be fair to you, so we allow you to say your last words."
Shen Jize curled the corners of his lips. "Have you heard this saying before?"
"What?"
Shen Qingji and Jiang Jiaming both asked.
"Villains die from overwork."
'Bang'
The ship that Shen Qingji and Jiang Jiaming were on was hit by something, and Shen Qingji was caught off guard and capsized, almost falling into the sea.
Before Chen Jize could even lift a finger, chaos erupted on the deck.
Immediately afterwards, Zhuang Zhihao shouted, "Shen Jize, I'll settle the score with you later."
"Help, help, help..."
Before Shen Qingji could finish shouting, Zhuang Zhihao fired a series of single-shot arrows at him, and the next moment the man silently fell into the sea.
"Are you out of your mind? The Zhuang family's daggers are all specially made. If the old man finds the body, won't he immediately know it was me?"
This is why Shen Jize didn't make a move for so long. Although he wasn't afraid of the old man, it would be really annoying if he were caught doing something wrong.
"Am I that stupid to use the Jiang family's wooden gun?"
Jiang Hesheng, who was already being beaten and retreating, cursed angrily when he heard this, "Damn it, why are you still trying to frame me?"
“You originally planned to do this anyway, so what’s wrong with taking on this responsibility? We’re not going to compete with you for the Yuanyu Phase III project.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiaming immediately roared, "What did you say? You're not going to compete for the Yuanyu Phase III project, you're going to give it all to him? Are you stupid? The Yuanyu Phase III project is so profitable, and you don't want it? What are you even doing here?"
"What else can we do?"
What else can they do besides military service?
Jiang Jiaming's jaw dropped in astonishment. "Not you... this?"
Jiang Jiaming was angry, especially angry, because of the loud 'bang' sounds.
Urgent, chaotic, and continuous.
Everyone resisted and dodged.
Shen Jize took the opportunity to hide in the gap between the deck and the cabin.
The ship's engines were running, and Shen Jize moved further and further inside. He couldn't go any further, but the sound of gunfire was getting closer.
Shen Jize calmly discerned the location of the person closely following him amidst the deafening roar.
"Mr. Shen, I see you. Come out."
It was Zhou Haoran's voice.
Shen Jize's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down.
If Zhou Haoran were Jiang Hesheng's man, he wouldn't be harming him right now.
But the tone was clearly meant to provoke him. If he were one of Jiang Hesheng's men, this action would be quite inappropriate.
"Mr. Shen, aren't you coming out yet?"
Zhou Haoran took a few more steps inside, and Shen Jize could vaguely make out that the other person's voice was getting farther and farther away from him.
What followed was a series of quiet searches.
Because he couldn't find him, Zhou Haoran was getting a little irritated. 'Bang!' A bullet pierced through a gap in the deck and grazed his arm.
Shen Jize gritted his teeth to keep himself from making a sound.
But the smell of blood immediately spread throughout the cramped space, and blood flowed onto the ground through the gaps in the diaphragm.
Shen Jize knew something was wrong. Just before Zhou Haoran was about to make a move, he grabbed the wrench in his hand.
Zhou Haoran let out a muffled groan, quickly vaulted over the area, and entered the escape ladder.
Just as he was about to step into the safety pod, Zhou Haoran shouted angrily, "Aren't you going to care about Zhuang Zhihao or Lin Wei anymore?"
Upon hearing Lin Wei's name, Shen Jize stopped and turned to look at him.
