SS Chapter 46

Li Guang asked Long Xinyu how they were, and Long Xinyu sighed and told him about their experiences these past few days, and they were all speechless.

After a moment of silence, Long Xiuyu asked, “Lu Ye is seriously injured?”

Long Xiuyu was silent. He knew Lu Ye’s skills, and it was very likely that he confronted those experimental subjects. He didn’t expect that those people were no longer normal people. If Lu Ye hadn’t been injured, they probably wouldn’t have been trapped on the boat.

Wenren Ying said, “Jiang Lang has also been investigating this matter these days. He just got a clue. Those people came from a multinational organization. It’s very mysterious. They’ve committed crimes in many countries. Sometimes they steal books, antiques, and jade, and sometimes they carry out assassinations and even kidnap people. The known leader is called Xing Yuntian. He has also committed crimes in the country and is on the wanted list of many countries. I don’t know how he targeted Jiang Lang’s ship. Jiang Lang suffered a lot of losses this time and is looking for people all over the world. It looks like he won’t let it go easily.”

Long Xinyu glanced at his elder brother. In fact, he was not familiar with Jiang Lang. Long Xiuyu’s friendship with Jiang Lang mostly came from Lu Ye. However, Jiang Lang was willing to let them settle their grievances with Yue Zhonglin on the ship, so they had to accept Jiang Lang’s favor. If Jiang Lang needed their help in the future, they would have to do their best.

Duan Yisong was the police contact person Rao Xian arranged to follow Li Guang. As a result, Lu Ye was seriously injured and brought back by Jiang Lang and the others, while Rao Xian and Sha Rou were missing. He was worried and came along to participate in the search. Duan Yisong was surprised to hear Long Xinyu say that Sha Rou’s temperament had changed drastically due to the influence of the drug.

He followed Rao Xian out of the compartment and saw the naked Sha Rou.

At this time, Sha Rou was lying quietly on the bed, covered with a quilt, but the exposed wrists were tied with restraint straps.

Duan Yisong looked at Rao Xian nervously: “Captain…”

After listening to them talk about their experiences on the ship these past few days, as well as their deductions about the case, and now seeing Sha Rou’s current situation, Duan Yisong was momentarily lost. Rao Xian called him softly, and he came back to his senses and tucked the quilt for Sha Rou.

Rao Xian said loudly, “I hope the storm will pass soon so we can take Sha Rou ashore for treatment.”

“What are you talking about?”

Duan Yisong sighed, “Captain, Qin Kai committed suicide in the hospital two days ago. When Lin Dong did the autopsy, he said that Qin Kai’s brain tissue had already undergone changes, similar to Tongtong’s situation. Combined with Qin Kai’s drug use habits, it was caused by those pink pills. The two cases were investigated together, and the director personally approved it. The students in the fan club were all monitored and tested, and they all had drug reactions. Later, they were taken to the Drug Control Center for special examinations. Experts said that the damage and emotional impact of this drug on the nerves is irreversible.”

Hearing this, Rao Xian loosened his grip on his cane.

Rao Xian: “…”

Rao Xian and Duan Yisong came out of the compartment and saw that Li Guang and Wenren Ying’s entourage were setting the table. In this kind of weather, they had to wait for the storm to stop before they could contact a rescue ship.

Sha Rou’s matter made Rao Xian and Duan Yisong feel heavy. Men mostly like to drown their sorrows in alcohol. Rao Xian, who had always been restrained, couldn’t help but go over and drink with them, as if such indulgence would prevent them from facing tomorrow.

Sha Rou was gone.

Rao Xian hurriedly woke everyone up.

Everyone hurried to look for Sha Rou.

Rao Xian and Duan Yisong searched the three floors, then searched upwards. After searching only two rooms, they found Long Xiuyu standing at the door in the third room. When Long Xiuyu saw them, he handed a letter to Rao Xian.

Rao Xian opened the letter. It was Sha Rou’s handwriting:

If I go back to shore with you, I don’t know what I will do.

Now, I have made a choice, which is to leave with dignity. Please respect my choice.

Finally, thank Long Xiuyu. The ring was given to me. I broke it and used it to cut the rope. The ring is gone, and I am destined not to have the opportunity to be his or anyone else’s bride!

The handwriting on the paper was Sha Rou’s, and it was written very steadily, indicating that it was not a hasty decision. There were water stains on the words “bride”, probably tears.

Rao Xian handed the letter to Long Xiuyu and walked into the room. Sha Rou was lying on the bed covered with a quilt. Sha Rou’s face was bloodless, and her lips were as white as paper. Rao Xian suddenly lifted the quilt, and the bed was covered in blood.

Two long cuts stretched from Sha Rou’s shoulders all the way to her wrists. It was unknown how much strength she used. The flesh was turned out in the cuts, and the bone was visible – Sha Rou had drained her own blood…

——

The trip to the sea answered many questions, but it left indelible pain for everyone.

Long Xinyu didn’t understand, Li Guang and Wenren Ying had already come, and they were about to be rescued, why didn’t Sha Rou persevere? With the current medical means, there were always ways to alleviate or treat it.

Long Xiuyu said deeply, “She said, she is no longer herself!”

The dead Sha Rou was the Sha Rou affected by the drug, and the Sha Rou Long Xiuyu knew was that cheerful policewoman.

After Rao Xian and the others returned to shore, Rao Xian applied for a search of Yue Zhonglin and his related personnel’s properties, and found another secret laboratory of Yue Zhonglin.

And those students in the fan club, because they didn’t have “lozenges”, their mental state became distorted, and they were all monitored. Their future lives would probably be extremely difficult.

Twenty-two years ago, the topic researched by Qin Shuqing’s adoptive parents was anti-depression, but the derived drugs had a greater impact than the main topic drugs.

Human research on science and technology may be out of malicious intentions, but the results are often uncontrollable.

Evil thoughts, sins, and desires are often cloaked in beautiful coats, thinking they can get away with it, but ultimately they all lead to a path of no return.

Qin Shuqing, Ye Yuning, Sha Rou, Luo Pingping, Luo Wenwen, Tongtong… one fresh life after another was a sacrifice.

Long Xinyu and Rao Xian went to the hospital to see Jiang Sujun. She was still sleeping as if unconscious, but Jiang Mo said that Jiang Sujun was conscious. When Long Xinyu told her that Jiang Mo was dead and Yue Zhonglin was also dead, Jiang Sujun’s closed eyes actually shed two lines of tears. It was unknown whether she was crying for Jiang Mo or for Yue Zhonglin.

Coming out of the sanatorium, Long Xinyu said, he sighed and asked Rao Xian, “If Jiang Sujun hadn’t left Yue Zhonglin back then, wouldn’t all this have happened?”

Rao Xian shook his head, “There is no if in this world—”

Don’t overestimate the kindness of this world, and don’t underestimate the sins of this world.

“What are your plans?” Long Xinyu asked.

Rao Xian leaned on his cane and looked at the sky, “My path has been chosen long ago.”

What he brought back from the boat was not only Sha Rou’s body, but also Yue Zhonglin and Jiang Mo’s laptops, which had been submitted to the police station. He could no longer interfere with the follow-up processing.

His transfer procedures had been completed at the police station, Shao Hui took over his position, Duan Yisong took over as deputy captain, and Rao Xian was about to embark on a new path in life.

——

“Is that it?” A man in a white trench coat, slender and thin, about thirty years old, asked Yue Zhonglin.

Yue Zhonglin was busy admiring an oil painting, and he said casually, “The data of the experimental subjects has been handed over to me, and I have also seen the experimental results. It is Mr.’s business how to use them. My current identity has been exposed, so I can only break the tail to survive.”

Yue Zhonglin glanced at the woman, “Xing Yuntian, my approach has been approved by Mr. If you have any objections, just ask Mr. directly.”

A low snort came from the nose of the man called Xing Yuntian.

Yue Zhonglin didn’t care and continued to look at the oil painting.

Xing Yuntian followed Yue Zhonglin’s line of sight and looked at the oil painting on the wall curiously, “Aren’t you going to take care of your old lover and ‘toys’ in Chonghai?”

Yue Zhonglin tilted his head and smiled evilly, “One must keep one’s promises. You promised Jiang Sujun back then not to take her life, and you won’t break the contract now. As for Min Bocai, is there any difference between his death and his life? Toys should look like toys.”

Xing Yuntian also turned his head to look at Yue Zhonglin, “Your toys are also unsightly, such as that Jiang Mo.”

Yue Zhonglin’s face did not change, but his eyes darkened a lot, “He is already dead.”

A playful smile flashed across Xing Yuntian’s face. He looked at Yue Zhonglin for a moment, then turned and walked out.

“Xing Yuntian—” He was stopped by Yue Zhonglin when he reached the door.

Xing Yuntian turned around.

Yue Zhonglin looked at him with a raised corner of his mouth, “A friendly reminder, don’t touch other people’s toys casually.”

Xing Yuntian smiled disdainfully, “I’m not that free.”

Xing Yuntian’s eyes flickered slightly, “Thanks for the reminder, let’s encourage each other.”

The two people’s eyes met in the air, as if there was a flash of lightning and thunder in an instant, everything was not over yet…
