Chapter 186: He escapes from her pursuit, but he has no wings to fly.
With a "swish", the tip of the dagger sank into the velvet suit, and blood flowed along the blade, soon leaving a dark spot under the left collarbone.
“Ahhhhhh murder!!”
The crowd screamed and ran wildly. The guests who had originally wanted to continue hiding on the casino floor were terrified and immediately swarmed towards the deck exit.
Zhou Shiyan leaned against the wall with his back, his right hand tightly gripping Jiang Siyue's dagger-holding wrist. His frowning expression, etched in pain, didn't seem like an act: "Ayue...you murdered your husband again..."
Jiang Siyue glared at him, her voice clearly filled with anger: "Zhou Shiyan, if you keep pretending, I'll really shoot you dead!"
President Yan knew very well that his wife was a man of her word. In a desperate situation, she might beat him half to death and then put him in a sack and drag him away, so he immediately dared not do it.
So he immediately pulled out the dagger, raised his leg and kicked her in the abdomen.
But the lethality of this kick is like releasing water into the Pacific Ocean.
Jiang Siyue felt angry and amused at the same time. She was only half a second late in cooperating with him and turned sideways, barely able to create the effect of brushing past his clothes.
The two of them took a step apart, and Zhou Shiyan turned around and kicked back again, but Jiang Siyue dodged by leaning back; then she raised her hand boldly, and the dagger slashed from bottom to top towards Zhou Shiyan's throat!
The cruise ship was filled with the sounds of gunfire and screams. Before all the helpless people could escape, a group of bodyguards armed with live ammunition suddenly rushed in from the entrance.
The power of the "Device of Equality for All Beings" forced all the guests to retreat, and even their shouts were choked in their throats.
The leader stepped onto the last step and saw the "assassination" scene in front of him at a glance.
In a split second, he recognized the "assassinated person" and his pupils constricted sharply. He yelled, "—Catch that woman! She's trying to steal someone from the boss!"
Next to the corridor column not far away, Zhou Shiyan did a backward flip in the air and avoided the blade by almost a hair's breadth.
The moment he landed, a roar suddenly broke out.
This group of bodyguards were obviously well-trained. Upon hearing the news, they quickly split into two groups. One group rushed forward to protect the stunned He Lun, while the other group rushed towards Zhou Shiyan with guns raised, trying to snatch him away from the dangerous "assassin".
At the critical moment, Jiang Siyue exchanged a quick glance with Zhou Shiyan in the dim light - retreat!
Without any hesitation, the couple tacitly performed the "he runs away, she chases, he can't escape even if he has wings" move, and turned around at the same time and ran towards the safety passage in the opposite direction of the exit!
The bodyguards behind him were chasing closely, but they were always several meters away from them.
Just as the two were about to rush into the emergency passage and slip away, the bodyguard in front suddenly stopped and pointed his gun at Jiang Siyue in frustration.
"boom!"
At the same time, Zhou Shiyan slammed the bulletproof and fireproof door open. He then turned around and grabbed Jiang Siyue into his arms, then slammed the door shut with a "bang!" and locked it with a "bang."
With a series of movements as swift as the wind, the bullet was stopped by the fire door, leaving only a tiny crater on the door.
The shooter immediately cursed out a local curse word and quickly turned to ask the boss: "Brother Sen, what should we do now? Break in and chase him?"
"No need," Jason, who had just been roaring and threatening to arrest people, now calmed down and said confidently, "Don't worry, they can't escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked over to He Lun and said, "Mr. He Lun, are you okay?"
Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, He Lun's face was gloomy. Instead of answering, he asked, "What happened upstairs?"
Jason immediately replied respectfully, "Ah, someone leaked the news about tonight's banquet, which led to several violent gangs trying to take advantage of the situation and kidnap elites from all walks of life for their own use."
"Fortunately, the Lord had the foresight to send us..."
"So he is also one of the violent elements, right?" He Lun interrupted him sarcastically.
"..." Jason's smile froze, his expression slightly unhappy. "No, Mr. Herron misunderstood."
"Young Master Zhou is a rare genius in the field of science and technology. Your Excellency simply wishes to invite him..."
"You don't have to explain to me." However, He Lun didn't want to hear a word, his eyes still fixed on the tightly closed fire door. "Did you see the face of that girl just now?"
Jason was stunned: "...What?"
There was a barely visible light in He Lun's eyes: "She said her name was 'Yue Miao'."
"?" Jason suppressed an eye roll and said unhappily, "Mr. Herron, with all due respect, based on what just happened, there's a 99% chance that the name 'Yue Miao' is a forgery."
"You think she is very skilled and her goal is the same as yours, so she was probably hired by someone from the Dixu Network—"
"I know."
Unfortunately, he was interrupted three times by Heron.
But this time, the proud peacock finally withdrew his gaze reluctantly and walked towards the exit: "Okay, take me away from here to see your master."
"It's a good opportunity to ask Miss Vina to help investigate who this 'Yue Miao' is."
……
At the same time, safe corridor.
After confirming that no one was chasing them outside, Jiang Siyue and Zhou Shiyan both breathed a sigh of relief.
But the latter still held the former in his arms, with no intention of letting go.
"...Let me go quickly. Now is not the time for you to cheat." Jiang Siyue felt speechless, but she just struggled twice symbolically and did not directly push him away.
The passage they were currently in was close to the stern of the ship, some distance away from the site of the riot, and therefore relatively quiet.
But this doesn't mean they are safe.
Zhou Shiyan turned a deaf ear to him and complained with a look of grievance: "Ayue, you stabbed me..."
"..." Jiang Siyue looked up at his eyes that seemed to be about to shed two lines of wide noodles tears at any time. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I was just acting. I didn't really hurt you."
After saying that, she pulled out a hand and threw away the used fake blood bag.
Zhou Shiyan was quick to grab her arm and clamp it back, saying, "Who said that? I was almost killed by your second knife!"
Two hearts are close together and four eyes are facing each other.
Jiang Siyue tried to purse her lips, but couldn't help laughing out loud: "But you hid well, didn't you? You're very well hidden, Master Zhou."
It was a rare occasion for him to be praised by his wife, but Master Zhou was not happy at all: "If it were like this every time, I would rather hide it and not show it..."
Jiang Siyue was helpless, and afraid that he would really argue with her, so she had to manually pull away his arms that were wrapped around her: "Alright, alright, you have to be hypocritical in the right place."
"Don't you know what's going on outside? Don't push your luck."
After hearing this, Zhou Shiyan's resentment faded, but he still didn't let go: "But you're still so close to that guy named He Lun..."
Jiang Siyue finally couldn't stand it anymore: "That's not as close to me as you are now! Shut up!"
Zhou Shiyan: "..."
Boss Jiang, who only realized something was wrong after cursing, said: "..."
Zhou Shiyan raised his eyebrows playfully, then readily let go. "Okay, honey, are we going to meet up with Boss Shen now?"
Hearing this familiar annoying tone, Jiang Siyue cursed "fuck" inwardly, thinking that he would never be able to change his habit of talking faster than his brain in this lifetime.
She closed her eyes resignedly, then opened them again, but without looking at Zhou Shiyan again, she turned around and went downstairs: "Stop talking nonsense and follow closely."
Looking at her tall and straight back, Zhou Shiyan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and his heart softened.
Forget it, acting, being a mistress...even being a fourth, fifth, or sixth mistress doesn't matter anymore!
Anyway, no matter how A Yue treats him, she will always be his only one.
Mr. Jiang, who was very conscious, calmed himself down in seconds and walked down the stairs in two steps: "Come here, come here~ Ah Yue, you..."
At this moment, the fire safety door on the two floors below the passage suddenly opened without any warning: "Bang!"
Zhou Shiyan's words just as he was about to show off stopped abruptly.
Jiang Siyue's expression froze, and he suddenly raised his hand to block him. At the same time, a blazing moon spear appeared in his palm, and he looked down silently through the gap in the stairs.
But when she saw the person's face clearly, she was suddenly stunned.
It was her.
