"Xu Wenji, hand over the chip."
Shen Jianyi didn't want to waste any more time talking to him. She just wanted to get the thing and leave. She also knew clearly that it was not a good place to stay.
But the man didn't take her words to heart. Instead, he slowly propped himself up and walked up to Shen Jianyi step by step. He lowered his head and looked at the woman's vigilant expression.
Xu Wenji took off his fisherman's hat and casually threw it on the sofa. His eyes were filled with killing intent and fierceness, as if he was going to tear the woman in front of him to pieces at any moment.
"The chip?" Xu Wenji pretended to be stupid. "Didn't you take that thing away? Why are you coming to me for it now!"
This Xu Wenji was really addicted to acting. Things had come to this point, but he still pretended not to know anything.
Shen Jianyi suppressed her anger and said, "Why did you frame me and make the professor and the whole research institute hunt me down?"
This sentence expressed all the grievances she had suffered during this period. Xu Wenji sneered, "I don't understand what you're talking about. The professor just wants those who betray the organization to disappear from this world."
"But I'm not!" Shen Jianyi grabbed his collar. If she hadn't been so angry, she wouldn't have said so much nonsense. "Hand it over!"
The man in front of her waved his hand and kept a distance from her. Xu Wenji calmly tidied up his clothes and raised his finger to wave twice.
The next second, people almost poured in from every window and door. Shen Jianyi straightened her body and tightly held the silver knife in her hand.
"Do you really think they can beat me?"
Xu Wenji shook his head, as if he had already guessed. "Of course I know they can't beat you, but it's enough to buy some time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed up. They hacked and fought randomly in the room without any rules. Shen Jianyi kept dodging.
She watched Xu Wenji leave gracefully. Sure enough, just as Gun had said, it was just a trap.
Shen Jianyi kicked the person in front of her away and put the knife on his neck, threatening the others, "If anyone dares to take another step forward, I'll kill him immediately."
Unfortunately, these people were all the dead soldiers hired by Xu Wenji. The man snorted, "Don't waste your effort. They won't save me. There's no affection between us..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jianyi quickly kicked him away. Now Shen Jianyi was really in a dilemma.
Not to mention how Xu Wenji knew that Shen Jianyi was the Red Fox. In this situation, it would probably take some time for her to get out of here.
Maybe by that time, Xu Wenji would have already run away, leaving her on this ship. Was she supposed to fend for herself?
Thinking of this, Shen Jianyi suddenly realized. She turned to look outside. Although the ship had returned to a stable state, it was a rainy day, and there might be waves.
Xu Wenji might have already left on a small rubber boat like Lu Suowei. She clenched her fists. This Xu Wenji really deserved to die.
While she was thinking, someone suddenly pressed against her back. She turned her head and saw the white mask.
"Go outside. I'll take care of this."
It seemed that she owed Gun another favor. Everything he had said was true, but how did he know that this was just Xu Wenji's trap?
Before Shen Jianyi could react, the man directly pushed her out and forced her to leave this place.
With the fighting sound inside, the ship began to shake constantly. There were rough waves in front of them. If they didn't leave now, it might be too late.
Shen Jianyi kicked the door open and saw the mess inside. Only a few people were still fighting with Gun. Without saying a word, she stepped forward and grabbed the man's wrist, trying to pull him out.
The dead soldier wanted to chase, but was kicked back by Shen Jianyi. She looked at them coldly, "Since you were sent by Xu Wenji, your life and death have nothing to do with me."
She didn't want to owe so many lives for no reason. Shen Jianyi took Gun and wanted to leave.
Now the ship was shaking more and more violently. Almost every step they took, they were in danger of being thrown out.
But the man beside her was surprisingly stable. Even with such a violent shaking, he could still stand there like a stone pillar. Shen Jianyi relied on his strength every time she moved.
The two left the hall. Shen Jianyi turned to look at the huge waves. They were very close to their ship. The ship was still moving forward. It was probably on autopilot. The crew on the ship had long disappeared.
Shen Jianyi let go of the man's hand. When facing death, she wasn't afraid of anything. She just felt sorry for Lu Jinsheng. She had let down his affection.
Maybe the other person was still waiting for her to go back on the shore, but facing a natural disaster, there was no way to turn the tide.
Shen Jianyi was like a deflated balloon. She leaned back against the railing and watched the ship being rolled up by the waves again and again. There was no emotion in her eyes. She took off the mask and threw it into the sea.
"I never thought that my momentary impulse would cost me my life." She said this with courage. Shen Jianyi had always been very strong and believed in her own judgment. However, sometimes, she always made wrong choices because she was too impatient.
The man walked up to her and returned the knife to her. "I admire you. You're not afraid of death at all. You're always like this..."
"Always?" Shen Jianyi took the knife casually.
The man didn't say anything else. Instead, he turned to look outside. A trace of hostility flashed in his eyes. "Do you want to live?"
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi helplessly rubbed her forehead. "Nonsense. How could I not want to live before the truth is investigated?"
"The truth... Is it really that important to you?"
Gun really couldn't understand. For some things, it might be better to be really confused than to know the truth behind them.
"Maybe at the moment you know the truth, your life will also be buried with those secrets." Gun's cold eyes swept over and landed on the woman softly. "You still have someone who likes you. Is it worth it?"
When asked this question again, Shen Jianyi admitted that she hesitated. She didn't know either. She didn't know what the meaning of life was.
Since she could remember, she had been working for the professor. In her mind, there was only completing the tasks assigned by the professor. Looking for the chip was the same.
"I'm not qualified to talk about the person who likes me before the task is completed. I can't give him a sense of security."
