Chapter 685 Curse

Di-

The sharp and long sound of the whistle pierced the long night and fog.

And the sound of the wind poured into my ears.

Then it faded away with a thud.

The rushing water poured in, separating the world from him and then pulling it away.

Everything became dull and blurry, as if falling into a dream so soft that it could not be broken through no matter what.

The only thing my stinging eyes could see was a somewhat familiar face.

It’s Zhu Qiangwei.

A face so similar to his loyal butler Zhu, yet so different.

In the freezing water, he seemed to see a burning fire.

President Zhu, who had always been very polite and even a little humble in front of him, was now like a transformed evolved beast. Even after being separated from him by the sea, he still chased him and strangled him, as if he wished to die with him.

Qin Wu felt like laughing.

It was obvious that Zhu He was just an ordinary greedy person, and he voluntarily stayed in the Qin family to exchange blood for resources. He really couldn't understand why Zhu Qiangwei had such a strong grudge against him.

Although his hands were painful and his body was cold to the bone, he was still able to swim up with some effort.

Taking a last look at Zhu Qiangwei who was stretching her arms towards him as far as she could, he began to try to paddle her arms to float upwards.

But the effect of the painkillers seemed to have worn off.

The pain was not frozen by the low temperature, but instead was entangled with the shivering chill, penetrating every inch of his flesh and causing his movements to become slow.

But Zhu Qiangwei seemed to be the opposite of him.

She was extremely agile and swift, like a swordfish cutting through the waves, swimming towards him with burning rage and sharp murderous intent.

Qin Wu, who was slowly floating up, was grabbed by the ankle by Zhu Qiangwei and pulled down hard.

The water surface became farther away.

The water surface, filled with dazzling light, shimmers above our heads.

Not like the starry sky, but like daylight.

And he was being dragged into an endless night.

Qin Wu lowered his head, glanced at Zhu Qiangwei, whose eyes were about to bleed, and kicked her hand.

But it was useless. Zhu Qiangwei seemed to feel no pain. She even raised her other hand and dragged him down.

Qin Wu felt incredible - did she really want to die with him?

why?

Or was it because... he was not in the right state? It seemed like only one minute had passed, but he was already suffocating - he was obviously very good at diving, and his longest breath-holding time was over eight minutes, but now... why?

"But do you really want to be saved by me?"

The voice suddenly flashed through his mind like quiet thunder without warning.

"You don't even want to save yourself, so why would you want me to save you?"

The man's hands, which were paddling vigorously in the waves, suddenly stopped trembling, and his feet, which were trying to kick Zhu Qiangwei away, also stopped moving.

He was suspended in the cold sea water, looking up in a daze, and saw the endless water and endless light.

The long whistle sounded again, piercing the night sky.

Through the thick sea, the sound of water seeped into his ears, just like the loud ringing of church bells.

There is nothing above or below.

There was daylight just ahead, but he felt as if he was in a night where dawn would never come.

Someone whispered coldly this night:

"You already have all the wealth you should have, you already have seen all the world you should have seen, and you've already gotten tired of all the tricks you should have played..."

"You are not loved and seen by others, and you don't love yourself and can't see yourself."

"You want to die, Qin Wu."

"Humans are animals that can be tortured by 'thoughts' to the point of jumping off a building."

"Once you realize this truth, you're living in hell."

"In fact, there is a very simple way to test it. You can see whether you will try hard to swim for life after falling into the water, or whether you think that life is just like this and it is better not to swim..."

"Just sink like that."

The feeling of suffocation is like a shadow that continues to spread inside the body, spreading up the chest, seeping into the trachea, and forcing its way up the throat.

Qin Wu opened his mouth involuntarily, spit out a string of bubbles, and then suddenly closed it.

He raised his hand and pressed on his throat, trying to banish the cold, devilish voice in his mind, but it only made it clearer, as clear as a summer rainstorm.

"Even if you want to save yourself, you want me to save you."

"I don't want to, I can't, I won't."

-

All his movements stopped.

More transparent bubbles floated up in the light.

But the man sank silently.

The hand pressing on his throat loosened, he still raised his head, his eyes still filled with the light from the water, but it seemed to have been extinguished.

Zhu Qiangwei could no longer feel any resistance and was instead carried down a distance.

She subconsciously let go of her hand, and in less than a moment, she saw the arrogant, ruthless man sinking from beside her and in front of her like a stone statue.

After staring for only two seconds, she felt that she was reaching her limit and swam quickly upwards.

Her mind was full of Zhu He - the bullet hit her right in the abdomen, and although she didn't know what blocked it, if she didn't get urgent treatment, her life would be in danger!

She had to save him, she wanted her brother to be alive!

He had said so many cruel things but none of them had come true yet, and she was going to settle the score with him!

The red rose swam towards the sparkling light as fast and powerfully as a dolphin.

It was not until I finally emerged from the water with a splash that I suddenly realized how low the temperature of the sea water was.

She shuddered violently and looked up to meet the hand extended from the lifeboat.

"Is there another person?"

the lifeguard asked hurriedly.

After two seconds of silence, Zhu Qiangwei finally nodded coldly and took his hand.

puff-

The lifeguard behind him jumped into the sea and dived down.

Zhu Qiangwei didn't look back, she grabbed the ladder and climbed up with an expressionless face.

·

The Qin family's cruise ship has been occupied by more and more outsiders.

When the ladder was placed between the two ships, no amount of staff could stop the frantic reporters and onlookers.

The chattering sounds and the clattering footsteps sounded like a grand and exciting symphony of fate in the wind and waves.

Zhu Qiangwei struggled hard to break free from the reporter's hands, from Mrs. Qin's crying body, from the concerned greetings and gazes of some acquaintances, and ran all the way upstairs. Then, at the reminder of some people, she rushed straight to the floor where the medical room was located.

Outside the tightly closed door of the medical room, Ye Kong, looking disheveled, was sitting on the ground.

She was surrounded by people.

Some of them were bodyguards brought by Wen Can, and the other part...most of them were unfamiliar faces, but they were obviously distinguished guests.

A distinguished guest from Yuzhou.

They surrounded Ye Kong, some standing, some sitting, some looking around vigilantly, and some just talking to Ye Kong, and kept opening their mouths even when they got no response from her.

The lights of the cruise ship have not been turned on yet, and the light source formed by the flashlights in the hands of the bodyguards illuminates that bustling yet inexplicably remote area.

Until Ye Kong heard the noise and turned to look at her - the buzzing in his ears caused by the sound of water after going into the sea seemed to be penetrated by this gaze.

She finally heard the voice of the real world.

Then, under that gaze, she strode over and slapped a man hard on the face—

It was Secretary Fei who was also guarding Ye Kong.

The man who shot Zhu He with a gun.

The corridor suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was looking at her, and the bodyguards were staring at her eagerly, as if they were going to rush over and hold her down at the next second.

But Ye Kong didn't say anything, so no one moved.

The girl just maintained her posture of sitting against the wall, looking up at her, and said, "I'm sorry."

Secretary Fei touched his face and bowed his head to her: "I'm sorry."

Ye Kong tilted his head towards the closed door behind him: "There is a very good doctor performing surgery on him. Although the equipment is not complete, it is said that there is no problem in saving his life."

She raised her hand, revealing her bloody palm. "It seems like he blocked the shot, so it went a little off target. It didn't hit the vitals, and there was no penetrating wound."

That's a key.

Very old-fashioned, thick iron key.

It was their childhood home.

After Zhu Qiangwei made money, she bought back the little shabby house.

She sent the key to Zhu He, who was studying abroad at the time, but he never returned once.

She thought he had thrown away the key a long time ago.

Zhu Qiangwei grasped the bloody key with a missing corner in the girl's mottled palm, slowly squatted down, and finally sat down next to Ye Kong.

She leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes: "Will he survive?"

"Will do."

Ye Kong glanced at her and said, "But you'd better take a hot bath right away, otherwise you'll be frozen to death before he comes out."
