Nan Xiaojin shook her head desperately at Chao Ci. Her mouth was blocked. Even if she tried her best, she could only make some whimpering sounds, and her eyes were red with anxiety.

Chao Ci turned a blind eye as if he hadn't seen it, and looked at those people who were obviously shaken and continued: "With me, why do you have to be so petty and stare at 200 million? The liquidity in my name is more than this amount."

"...How to change?" the leader of the group asked in a hoarse voice.

Chao Ci didn't answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and picked up his phone and flipped on it for half a minute.

Then he raised his head, with no trace of nervousness on his expression: "I'll do it dozens of times, and we'll s"

Those people held Nan Xiaojin hostage and walked toward Chao Ci, while Chao Ci was followed by others, approaching them step by step.

When they passed each other, they let go of Nan Xiaojin, and they held Chao Ci's neck with a knife.

Having found a new kidnapper, and a more useful person, they naturally will not stay here and wait to be killed.

One person held a knife against Chao Ci, while the others threatened the people Chao Ci brought: "We want a speedboat! Within ten minutes, quickly!"

Not to mention a speedboat, this cruise ship even had a submarine. Considering Chao Ci's life safety, they had to ask someone to arrange a speedboat for these people.

"Now you all get out! We will go to the deck to check it ourselves in ten minutes!"

As he spoke, the knife pressed against Chao Ci's neck went deeper, and blood dripped down the edge of the knife.

Everyone was obviously worried about Chao Ci's life, so they could only hesitantly retreat slowly with Nan Xiaojin.

Nan Xiaojin was freed from the rope and the strip of cloth on her mouth. Tears suddenly fell from her eyes and her face turned red from crying: "Chao Ci!"

A soft smile appeared on Chao Ci's face, and he said to her: "Don't be sad, and don't be burdened. I'm not doing it for you."

"If it's for Zhao Yi, you shouldn't trade yourself for me. Are you stupid?" She couldn't help but scream.

If she dies, Zhao Yi will feel guilty and maybe sad.

But if Chao Ci dies... Zhao Yi will go crazy.

Nan Xiaojin said, no longer willing to follow the security personnel, and staggered towards Chao Ci.

After just a few steps, someone stopped her in time, pulled her over forcefully, and whispered a few words to her. It was unclear whether it was to comfort or admonish her, but Nan Xiaojin obviously didn't listen and kept looking back at Chao Ci.

"If you feel guilty, just leave a message for me."

"You may meet a German in a few days. His Chinese name is Tan Lie. Tell him..."

"What did you say?" Nan Xiaojin asked blankly.

She felt an extremely terrifying suspicion from these few words.

"...Forget it." Chao Ci suddenly smiled.

I had just sent a text message to that guy, but when I put down my phone, I seemed to have thousands more words to say.

But when it comes to the end, there seems to be nothing left to say.

"Take her away." Chao Ci said this to the group of security personnel.

Those people drifted away in the corridor, and finally arrived at the elevator and left.

Chao Ci and the six people who held him hostage stood silently, listening to the sound of footsteps disappearing, and the sound of the elevator starting and leaving.

The entire bottom cabin became quiet again.

"...Actually, Zhao Sheng didn't even think about Nan Xiaojin's life, right?"

In the unsettling silence, Chao Ci suddenly took the initiative to break the silence.

The six people standing beside him didn't say anything, but the knife around Chao Ci's neck pressed tighter.

A big cut was made on the neck. To be honest, it really hurt.

No one responded, and Chao Ci didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He looked at the hatch pointedly, and there seemed to be something above it.

Then he added the second half of the sentence on his own: "It's as if he doesn't intend to let me live now——"

Before the words could be cut off, before anyone could react or have any psychological expectations, their hostage suddenly hit the knife pressed against his neck.

He even calculated the angle and just cut the artery.

Suddenly blood poured out, and the stunned expressions of those people were covered with blood.

At the last moment, Chao Ci looked up at the cabin door, opened and closed his lips a few times, and then fell into a pool of blood.

…………

No one would have expected that the originally festive wedding would end like this.

Chao Ci asked people not to tell the news of that day to the Zhao family at first. But after Chao Ci was kidnapped, of course the matter could no longer be kept secret, and the whole Zhao family knew about it immediately.

I was almost going crazy with anxiety.

But they didn't dare to rush into the bottom cabin to rescue people. The place was too small, and robbery would be even more detrimental to Chao Ci. They could only prepare the speedboats those people wanted before making preparations.

But before they were ready, news came from the monitoring room that Chao Ci was dead.

He took the initiative to hit the knife and committed suicide.

What followed was chaos, and this chaos became extremely out of control after Zhao Yi returned.

In the end, the group of guests who came for entertainment and socializing forgot how they left.

For a moment, they thought Zhao Yi was going to shoot and kill them all.

After getting off the cruise ship, which was praised as a floating castle, they even felt as if they were in another world.

I just sighed silently in my heart, maybe in a few days, I will have to attend the funeral again.

But once again, to their surprise, they were unable to attend the funeral.

…

Nan Xiaojin thought that when she was eighteen years old, her family went bankrupt and her father jumped off the building and left her hometown, which was the most unforgettable grief in her life.

Until her nightmare changed from the figure of her father leaping from a tall building to the image of Chao Ci lying bright red in a pool of blood.

Then the screams from nowhere began to sound in the dream, and everything around her began to distort, until the man she had loved all her life suddenly burst in.

The scene returned to the huge cruise ship again. Zhao Yi hurried from the deck, and there were already several doctors around Chao Ci rescuing him. However, no matter what, there was only the harsh sound of snowflakes in the dream, and there was a sound of nothingness.

A straight line with twists and turns.

The air ambulance center helicopter arrived, and both Chao Ci and Zhao Yi got on it.

In the dream, Nan Xiaojin kept chasing the helicopter. She ran for a long time. When she arrived at the hospital, she only saw a bright red in the emergency room.

Chao Ci was pushed out covered with a white cloth.

Zhao Yi seemed very calm, as calm as an empty shell.

The screams came again, and everything in the dream began to distort again?

Who is shouting? Is it herself?

She didn't know that when she arrived here in the dream, she was completely enveloped in fear and grief and couldn't move.

Another person hurried from the end of the corridor, followed by countless footsteps, but those people could not be seen in Nan Xiaojin's dream.

She only remembered the person who ran at the front, named Huo Yige.

He also didn't cry, but smiled.

He laughed so hard that he coughed hysterically.

Laughter and screams merged into an extremely noisy background, causing Nan Xiaojin to wake up again.

She sat up suddenly, tears falling.

Later, Zhao Yi kept guarding Chao Ci's body and refused to send it to the crematorium no matter how others tried to persuade him.

Instead, he bought an ice coffin and placed it in his and Chao Ci's former residence, facing each other day and night. From then on, Nan Xiaojin never saw him leave the door of that apartment again.

Zhao Yi's family, friends, and Nan Xiaojin were all extremely worried about him.

But Nan Xiaojin didn't dare to see him because she knew that Zhao Yi hated her.

But later, Zhao Yi's family persuaded him to go see him because Zhao Yi was crazy. They hoped that Nan Xiaojin could stimulate him and maybe have some effect.

……crazy?

It wasn't until Nan Xiaojin stepped into that apartment that she realized what it meant to be crazy.

Zhao Yi inside seems to be very normal, he even works on time there every day.

When he saw Nan Xiaojin coming, he didn't show any aggressive behavior. Instead, he invited her to drink coffee in a friendly manner.

But after he made two cups of coffee, he poured a cup of milk and placed it on the empty seat.

Of course, the glass of milk did not lose any bit. Then Nan Xiaojin heard Zhao Yi say helplessly with a smile: "I know you don't like drinking, but the doctor said you lost too much blood before, so you need to take good care of yourself."

"If you don't drink milk, can I soak wolfberry for you next time?"

"...Okay, okay, I was wrong. I won't soak it anymore...it's not like girls and middle-aged people have to drink wolfberry."
