Chapter 128 Gunfight
Inch’s expression remained calm as he said, “Rich people don’t just like tormenting
women, but men too, especially young men like me who have just come of age. They offer
a lot of money, two hundred grand for a single trip. I came here for the money.
I stood stiffly, speechless for a long time.
He seemed indifferent, just giving a faint smile before looking at me. “What about you?
Why does that man hate you so much? I mean, he hated you to the point of wanting you
to suffer a fate worse than
death ”
He was of course referring to Lucas.
Why did Lucas hate me so much? I chuckied lightly, taking a shallow breath, and said
softly, “Perhaps it’s because an arrogant and vicious person like him can’t stand the fact
that he almost died at the hands of a woman like me.
This surprised Inch a bit. He looked at me sideways. “That man almost died at your
hands?!
I nodded. I never wanted to talk about what happened five years ago, but now that I was
close to death, it seemed there was nothing left to hide. Sighing softly, I looked up at the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdark hull of the ship and said, somewhat casually, “Five years ago, I was about your age,
just starting university. I trusted someone too much and ended up being sold to the
border. I thought I’d never return from that living hell, but then my life took an unexpected
turn.
Inch was a good listener, quietly and attentively watching me as I spoke. Seeing me
pausing and looking at him, he could not help asking, “And then?”
“And then?” I took a breath and continued, “Life at the border was no different from
prison. It’s even more terrifying. Those buyers treated us like livestock, objects to be
abused and insulted at will. Perhaps my time wasn’t up yet. When I was sold to a rich
businessman, Lucas took a liking to me. He kept me by his side and told me to follow him.
To escape the border as soon as possible, I worked for Lucas. Since I knew the inland area,
he took me with him every time he came inland. After several trips, I secretly contacted
the inland police. Thanks to the information I provided, they located Lucas’s lair and
surrounded him. I thought he would definitely be caught, but I didn’t expect him to escape
from the police’s siege and take me with him.”
Inch’s curiosity seemed piqued. He could not help but ask, “If he took you away, how did
you return to the inland?”
I gave a wry smile and said, “When he took me to escape, I left clues for the police. When
the police caught up with us, Lucas was about to take me to another base. But he
discovered the clues I had left. In the urgent situation, to ensure he faced justice, I
grabbed him and jumped off a cliff with him. I thought we would die together, but
somehow, we both survived and now…” I paused, not really wanting to continue, and said
with a forced smile, “Now we both wish the other were dead!”
Inch pursed his l*ps, looking at me. “Now that you’re in his hands, you might….”
“Suffer a fate worse tha
Silence suddenly fell over us, and no one spoke again,
Not knowing what else there was to say, I maintained the silence.
After a while, I was the first to speak up. “Inch, if you can get out of here alive, could you
do me a favor?”
“Hmm,” he responded softly
I took a breath and said, “If I die here, or if I’m imprisoned forever, please go to Lake City
and help
me
“Wait until you’re about to die before telling me,” he suddenly interrupted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI was taken aback, then smiled, my gaze shifting to the candle that was nearly burnt out. I
was not really afraid of dying, it was just hard for me to let go of my mother. My father
was already gone, and Moore probably would not have any more love for my mother.
If I disappeared or died, she probably would not want to live any longer.
Bang! A loud sound jolted me from my thoughts. Inch and I were startled, exchanging
wary looks.
The room was dim, and by my judgment, it seemed to be coming from some storage room
at the bottom of the ship. The echoing sound of the initial bang was followed by several
more.
“Gunshots!” I suddenly exclaimed, all too familiar with the sound from my experiences five
years ago.
Inch looked at me, hesitating for a few seconds. “Guns?”
I nodded, my brows furrowing tightly. I had seen Lucas’s yacht route. Based on our
boarding time, the yacht should still be in the South Sea, still within territorial waters: Who
would dare to start a
gunfight so brazenly?
Could it be?
