In the records of the Southern Archives later on, this was what happened on the Nanan that night:
Miss Dong took Warners gunn with her and launched a total of fourteen attacks. The sporadic fights wont be ntioned here. The biggest one was in the cabin that had the wide beds.
The wide-bed cabin was the area where the cargo hold had been converted into a passenger cabin. Many people stayed in this cabin, and there were small vendors sleeping on the floor there.
Even the Nanan had such a cargo hold in order to expand the number of passengers they carried.
The killers initially didnt know that Miss Dong had their information. The materials Zhang Haiyan had provided werent comprehensive, but Miss Dong went through the crowd, catching one killer after another like an eagle catching a chicken. They only realized sothing was off when she asked them to kneel down and face the wall.
In many cases, as long as people won fifty percent of the fight, the remaining fifty percent would follow. This was the case on the Nanan that night. The remaining assassins thought that Miss Dong had the entire list, so they desperately rushed at her, hoping to take hostages to protect themselves.
It had seed like Miss Dongs actions were risky at the ti, but she was actually the one who was most likely to win. If soone had inford the other killers of Miss Dongs performance at the ball, then those who rushed towards her wouldnt have been so surprised to find that she wasnt soone who could be subdued so easily.
Miss Dong rely took a few steps backward, preventing those poor people from grasping her clothes. She then grabbed the first persons wrist, twisted it, and blocked the hidden weapon that was shot out from behind.
The gunn raised their submachine guns, and a bloody mist blood like lotus flowers as the four people rushing over were instantly blasted full of holes.
The remaining ones grabbed so won and children from the side to use as hostages, but they grossly underestimated the skills of Warners gunn. Those gunn had trained the speed and accuracy of their short-range shooting skills during the Westward Expansion as they fought the Native Aricans.
They found gaps in the hostages shoulders, armpits, and sides and shot the killers without any hindrance.
The Southern Archives didnt have any records on whether manslaughter or accidental injuries occurred during the whole process.
Based on the result, about thirty-four assassins had been killed on the ship by the ti dawn ca. Seven assassins jumped into the sea to escape and one lifeboat was missing.
Only one killer was captured, and his na was He Jianxi. It was determined after the trial that he had been coerced, so he was eventually acquitted.
Five of the gunn died.
After the ship arrived in Malacca, the plague began to spread. A total of nineteen passengers were missing, thirty-four assassins and five gunn had died, and seven assassins had jumped into the sea to escape.
At that ti, it was a major criminal case that took place on the sea, so the newspaper extravagantly reported on it. All the southern countries were shocked.
Another thing that should be ntioned is that Zhang Haiyan was neither on the list of missing people nor on the list of those who were killed.
So where did Zhang Haiyan go? Why didnt He Jianxi die?
At that ti, Steven briefly explained everything that had happened as Miss Dong looked at He Jianxi. Warner looked at Miss Dong in challenge, wanting to know if this woman was bluffing.
But she didnt hesitate at all.
Kill him. With that said, Miss Dong moved forward with the team.
He Jianxi watched in horror as Hudson pulled out his pistol. Turn your head. Dont look at the person shooting you.
At this mont, Steven pressed Hudsons hand down. Keep a few people alive. What if this woman staged the whole thing herself and is killing people in order to shut them up?
By this ti, Zhang Haiyan had co out onto the balcony and climbed onto the pipes above the corridor. As long as Hudson fired, he would imdiately shoot the blades from his mouth and drag He Jianxi into the sea with him.
But Hudson thought it over for a while and then put his gun away. He let Steven tie He Jianxi up and then moved to follow after Miss Dong.
Zhang Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief and then moved along the pipes as he followed the people who had abducted He Jianxi. When they arrived at a corner where no one was around, he shot the chandelier down. He then grabbed He Jianxis neck from above and pulled him onto the pipes.
As the two of them ran wildly along the pipes and reached an inner cabin, they heard gunshots. Miss Dong wasnt joking. She had really gone on a killing spree. Zhang Haiyan thought of how he wanted to kill people whenever he was in a bad mood and suddenly realized that he was an absolutely kind person. This woman was truly an example of a person of action.
Cousin, you sold out, Zhang Haiyan said. Ive been so good to you, you Pan Jinlian (1).
He suddenly had a heart attack. I was afraid he was going to die. I didnt know he was faking it, He Jianxi said anxiously. He was still terrified over what had happened earlier. He had already seen his boss brain matter and the thought that his own brain was almost sared across the ground made him break out in goosebumps.
Now the whole ship is searching for you. Can you listen to for once?
They are searching for you! He Jianxi said angrily. Im just soone you hired to catch flies.
Zhang Haiyan did so quick calculations. They were on an enclosed ship and Miss Dong was especially fierce. She certainly wouldnt let him off the hook.
At this ti, he saw a lifeboat on the distant deck.
In the midst of the vast sea, he certainly wouldnt think about going to Xian by lifeboat. But now that he knew exactly what Zhang Ruipus plan was, he had to return to Perak as soon as possible to check on Haixias safety.
He couldnt care too much about anything else right now. He had to co up with a plan.
****
TN Notes:
(1) In the last chapter, Zhang Haiyan felt that he was like Wu Dalang, a character in a classic novel who was killed by his adulterous wife Pan Jinlian. Therefore, Zhang Haiyan was basically saying, Youre my wife, and Ive been so good to you. How can you cheat on ? lol
