In the mont before losing consciousness, i Shu vaguely saw a familiar face.
When she woke up again, her body was in intense pain, causing her to inhale sharply despite herself.
But unexpectedly, she felt very warm at this mont, completely unlike the coldness she experienced when fleeing alone on the ship in her pajamas.
She opened her eyes to a dimly lit cave, where a fire nearby emitted warmth, brightening the entire cave.
Thinking of the face she saw before fainting, i Shu tentatively moved her fingers, trying to sit up from the ground. The thick layer of dry straw beneath her was already damp from sweat sticking to her body. As she rose, the straw fell off with a rustle.
“You’re awake? Don’t move! Your wounds were just bandaged!” Feng Wei put down a jar she found from sowhere and hurried over to support i Shu back onto the straw.
“You helped treat my wounds?” i Shu asked hesitantly.
Feng Wei blushed, releasing her hand and turning to pick up the jar she had just put down, handing it to i Shu. “No, Jiang Hai saved us. Fie helped treat the gunshot wounds on your body. I never expected Lu Si’s n to find you so quickly.”
i Shu furrowed her brows slightly, looking at the jar filled with cool water in front of her without moving.
Impatiently, Feng Wei pushed it closer. “Drink it quickly. It’s not poisoned. Jiang Hai said you need to replenish your fluids right now, so he asked to boil more water for you.”
i Shu licked her chapped lips and, with Feng Wei’s help, struggled to sit up, drinking a large gulp of water from the jar. She felt her mind clear a bit, then asked, “Where’s Jiang Hai?”
“He went to find a way to contact Lu Si. You don’t know how dangerous it was at that ti!” Feng Wei chattered on, telling i Shu everything that happened after she fainted.
i Shu then learned that Jiang Hai had already been lurking on the ship, waiting to rescue her at a critical mont.
After she fainted, Jiang Hai quickly took her and Feng Wei onto a small boat prepared in advance, avoiding several gunfights along the way before finally drifting to this deserted island.
The group of people might still be looking for them, so Jiang Hai didn’t dare to send out a signal, lest they be discovered before Lu Si arrived. It would be troubleso if they were found before Lu Si got there.
“So, who exactly wants to kill ?” i Shu’s face darkened, and the joints of her fingers holding the jar were covered with a thin layer of sweat from the pain.
Feng Wei took a deep breath, sitting beside i Shu and whispered, “I know it’s hard for you to trust now, but I think I should tell you the truth before Jiang Hai cos back.”
i Shu looked at her, frowning. “What do you want to say?”
Feng Wei glanced nervously toward the entrance of the cave, making sure Jiang Hai hadn’t returned before lowering her voice. “You need to make your own decision about this. Don’t just let it go because of your relationship with Lu Si.” Seeing i Shu’s increasing confusion, Feng Wei continued, “Let just tell you straight. The person who wants to kill you is Lu Si’s own aunt! I’m worried Lu Si won’t turn against his aunt for you! Who doesn’t know in our circle how filial Lu Si is? That woman is his mother’s own sister!”
“It’s her.” i Shu was montarily stunned.
Feng Wei exclaid indignantly, “Yes! What’s wrong with her? What deep-seated hatred do you have with her? Just because you’re dating her nephew? Does she have to kill you to keep it a secret? And she even used guns. Is she part of the underworld?”
i Shu teased her eyes on her. “Didn’t you also kidnap and try to extort money to run away?”
“Can you compare to her?” Feng Wei said in a low voice, “I just wanted money. I never intended to kill you myself! Moreover, I have figured it out now. The whole thing can’t all be blad on you. I ended up here today because of i Cheng!”
i Shu didn’t bother with her self-reflection, standing up on her own and heading out.
Feng Wei quickly stopped her. “Hey hey hey, where are you going? The wound has just been bandaged. If you move, you’ll continue bleeding!”
“I won’t die.” i Shu strode to the entrance of the cave, then suddenly turned back, seemingly rembering sothing.
Feng Wei, puzzled, stood still, “What are you looking at like that for?”
i Shu’s calm gaze fell on the screen beside her, her consciousness moved, and she clicked into the “Ending” interface.
The expected warning did not appear.
Her eyes brightened, and she clicked the confirmation button again. Suddenly, unfamiliar yellow words leaped onto the screen.
“Ending: Feng Wei will be shot and killed on the island.”
i Shu’s pupils contracted sharply. When she looked back at Feng Wei, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Feng Wei was creeped out by her stare, shrinking her neck and retreating to the corner, anxiously probing, “What are you looking at? Is there sothing here?”
i Shu’s face darkened, and she stepped forward, taking a deep breath, as if it took a lot of effort to make a certain decision. Suddenly, she clenched her fist and punched Feng Wei’s stomach heavily..
