Shen Qianshu took Ye Chu out for a walk on the beach. Ye Chu had been imprisoned for almost a week. Finally, she was able to step out of the island. This charming island had restored itself into the beauty that it was. The mess on the beach was washed away by the seawater. It was as if nothing had ever happened there. Ye Chu looked at the direction of the incident.
“Bruce is missing. We didn’t find his body. The whole ship has left. If you want to leave, you can contact them to pick you up. They are your family and should come to pick you up right away.”
Ye Chu’s fingertips trembled a little, and her heart seemed to be violently screaming and constantly roaring. She felt entangled. If they left, what about revenge for Xiao Liu? What about the dead?
Third Uncle, you left just like that as well. Are you blaming me as well?
Is Bruce also blaming it on me?
At that time, the situation was hectic, and vases would break if they tried to hit the rat. If she did not help Ye Tingyun and did not save Shen Qianshu, all this would not have happened. Ye Tingyun would not have the upper hand. It was as if all of these were meant to be.
She was the one who caused all of this upon her crew members.
“Is Xiao Liu dead?” She had never found the courage to ask this question as she was afraid of an exact answer. If Xiao Liu was not dead and he only hated her because he thought that she had betrayed him, she could leave here and return to the ship to seek their forgiveness.
“He died.” Shen Qianshu reported honestly.
It was as if lightning had struck Ye Chu. Her hands went numb, and she stared into the sea helplessly. Xiao Liu’s smile floated before her eyes. She had cared for him, nurtured him, and doted on him as her real younger brother for many years. Their relationship had long gone past blood-related siblings. Xiao Liu treated her so well. No matter what happened, he was always on her side.
Yet, she caused his death.
“Miss Ye, I’m so sorry,” Shen Qianshu said. She felt a little guilty. After all, the person who died was her closest one. No matter who was in the wrong, a person’s life was what mattered the most.
Ye Chu squatted on the beach and put one hand down on the sand to support herself. She grabbed the sand tightly, but how could anyone get a hold of loose sand? She felt really sorrowful and angry; in fact, she felt deep hatred. The veins on her temple were throbbing.
“It is all my fault,” Ye Chu said. “I have no face to step on the ship again. They will definitely hate me because I betrayed them. If I had just stayed in the room and had not come out to get involved, all of this would not have happened.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Whether or not you were there, what is meant to happen will happen. Perhaps, the person who died would be me. Miss Ye, if I died, your entire ship would die with me.”
Ye Chu looked up at her angrily.
Shen Qianshu was calm. “If it were me, I wouldn’t take anyone’s life to be buried with me. Our enemy is Yang Ping. Because of her, we have suffered so much. But my husband is a lunatic, and he doesn’t care if you have any difficulties or explanations. In his eyes, if you are an accomplice, you are also an offender. A few onboard your ship are dead, and some are injured. I know that life is priceless, but Miss Ye, you ransomed $150 million from Tingyun.”
Ye Chu looked up slowly and into Shen Qianshu’s beautiful eyes. Her words made Ye Chu’s body feel chilly. “What do you mean?”
“Intentional killing indeed requires repayment with a life. But Tingyun didn’t mean to kill. He was just after Yang Ping. He also warned Bruce about what would happen if he insisted on leaving with Yang Ping and not listen to his advice. It is Bruce’s fault for risking the lives of the entire ship for this. It is not just Tingyun’s fault.”
