After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Therefore, Shen Yao cannot give the money to Shen Dequan.

We can't give it to them right now, at least not at the moment.

She would only give the money to Shen Dequan if she could ensure that Wang Haiya was rescued.

"Give me the bomb remote control, cash on delivery!"

Shen Yao did not allow Shen Dequan to manipulate her.

"Well, you little bitch, you actually dare to negotiate with me!"

Shen Dequan gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage.

"Quickly give me the timer remote control I have!" Shen Yao was also trying to buy herself some time.

Police have boarded the ship and are defusing the bomb on Wang Haiya.

Shen Yao had to stall for time as much as possible to buy them more time to defuse the bomb.

"Okay, come and get it." Shen Dequan shouted at Shen Yao.

Shen Dequan noticed that Shen Yao had changed; she seemed more rational, cautious, and intelligent than before.

"I said cash on delivery! Give me the remote control for the explosives."

Shen Yao refused to budge an inch.

She knew Shen Dequan's character all too well.

Once Shen Dequan got the money, his ability to escape and not be brought to justice was secondary.

If he were to use a remote control to blow up Wang Haiya and himself, that would be terrible.

"You brat, you're even more cunning than me now!"

Shen Dequan cursed and swore as he walked step by step toward Shen Yao.

When he reached the deck, he suddenly stopped.

He beckoned to Shen Yao, "Come and get it."

Shen Yao took her briefcase and walked onto the deck, but stopped after only a few steps.

She held out her hand and said, "Give me the remote control first."

Upon hearing this, Shen Dequan snorted coldly.

"You brat, do you think I'm stupid? If I give you the remote, you'll still obediently give me money?"

Shen Yao shook the briefcase full of US dollars in her hand.

"I came here alone. Do you think I can escape from your and your brother's surveillance?"

From the moment she entered the dock, Shen Yao had noticed that someone was following her.

The police also alerted him via wireless intercom that an unknown person was following her.

Based on Shen Yao's understanding of Shen Dequan, the person following her was most likely a gangster acquaintance of Shen Dequan.

"Hmph, since you know you can't escape my grasp, then hurry up and hand over the money!"

Shen Dequan stared intently at the briefcase in Shen Yao's hand, practically drooling.

"I'll say it again: cash on delivery! I guarantee Wang Haiya's safety!"

Shen Yao reiterated her requirements.

We must not easily agree to Shen Dequan's demands, nor should we let him lead us astray; otherwise, once we lose the initiative, we will fall into a passive position.

"You brat, you actually dare to negotiate with me? Are you looking for death?"

Shen Dequan suddenly pulled out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Shen Yao.

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at Shen Yao's chest.

It would be a lie for Shen Yao to say she wasn't afraid at that moment.

Her hands, gripping the briefcase, were already sweating profusely.

However, she still tried to remain calm.

"If you dare to shoot me, I'll throw my money into the sea."

"You!?" Shen Dequan was both angry and worried as he watched Shen Yao actually throw her briefcase into the sea.

That's 5000 million! That's enough for him to live comfortably for half his life.

Seeing that Shen Yao was not so easily intimidated, Shen Dequan had to try a different approach to negotiate with her.

"You move to the middle, and I'll move to the middle too. I'll give you the remote control, and you give me the suitcase, how about that?"

Shen Yao looked down at the wooden plank pontoon bridge that was suspended in mid-air; it was at least 5 or 6 meters high.

Luckily, she can swim; otherwise, her legs would feel weak standing here right now.

“Okay, deal!” Shen Yao looked at Shen Dequan and agreed to his proposal.

Shen Yao agreed to Shen Dequan's request because she heard the news from her hidden wireless earpiece that the police had successfully rescued Wang Haiya.

She was completely relieved.

That's why she pretended to agree to Shen Dequan's request.

Shen Dequan walked forward triumphantly.

Suddenly his phone rang.

He stopped and answered the phone.

Shen Yao looked at Shen Dequan nervously, carefully observing the changes in his facial expressions.

"What?! Damn it, I know!"

Shen Dequan hung up the phone, put it back in his pocket, and his eyes were filled with malice.

"You little bitch, you're just as despicable as your mother! How dare you call the police? I'll beat you to death!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao sneered, "I'll give you the money."

As he spoke, he threw his briefcase in front of Shen Dequan.

Driven by greed, Shen Dequan hurriedly reached out to catch it.

However, Shen Yao threw the briefcase with extremely tricky force and direction.

The briefcase grazed Shen Dequan's shoulder and fell directly into the sea.

Shen Dequan watched helplessly as the briefcase fell into the sea and let out a roar.

"You bitch, I'm going to kill you today!"

When he turned his head to look in Shen Yao's direction, he saw that Shen Yao had already run back to the shore.

Shen Dequan glanced at the briefcase in the sea, then at Shen Yao who had already run far away, and angrily walked forward.

"Stop! Stop right there!"

Only a fool would stand still.

Shen Yao used almost all her strength to run towards the police cordon, following the instructions in her earpiece.

"She's trying to run away! Stop her! You want money, right? She has it!"

Seeing that Shen Yao was about to escape his control range, Shen Dequan hurriedly shouted.

At his shout, a dozen or so thugs wielding long knives suddenly sprang out from the dark alleys, blocking Shen Yao's path.

Shen Yao had no choice but to stop and turn around to face Shen Dequan.

"You can't escape now, the police are nearby."

Shen Dequan's face twitched.

"Hmph, so what if the police come? If I can't survive, you can forget about surviving either!"

As he spoke, Shen Dequan pulled out his pistol, pulled the trigger, and aimed it at Shen Yao.

"go to hell!"

Shen Yao felt the blood in her body instantly reverse.

She never imagined that her life would end here.

But before she died, she wanted to confirm one thing.

"When you married my mother, did you know she was pregnant?"

Shen Dequan grinned mischievously.

"Yeah, if it weren't for the fact that she's hardworking and can support me, would I be willing to be a sucker?"

Shen Yao nodded, relieved.

"Okay, thank you for telling me! I feel no guilt towards you at all."

He was not his biological father, nor did he raise him.

Shen Yao owes this man nothing.

When the police arrive and he is arrested again, Shen Yao will not feel any pity.

"Hmph, you don't need to feel guilty, just die! Haha! After I kill you, I'll kill that bitch Wang Haiya. You and your daughter will be reunited soon!"

After saying that, Shen Dequan aimed at Shen Yao's chest and was about to pull the trigger.

A figure rushed over at lightning speed and tackled him to the ground.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out in the dark night sky.
