Shen Miao knew how to swim, but in the coldest of winter days, the lake water was bone-chilling. Once one sank into it, they would feel like their entire body was made of ice. After struggling a while, Shen Miao lost her strength.
The tall and thin man was about to jump into the lake to fish Shen Miao out. After all, Shen Miao was the only one who knew what they wanted. However, before he could move, he heard the sound of fireworks in the sky. He looked up and saw a firework lit in the west.
“The situation has changed!” The short man wiped the blood off his face and said, “Retreat!”
“We need to take her with us.” The tall and thin man cursed and was about to jump into the lake when the ship suddenly wobbled. Two men in black were already standing at the bow. On the shoulders of the two men in black were eagle-like patterns embroidered with golden thread. The short man cried out in surprise, “Black Feather Army! Why is Black Feather Army here?”
Before the two of them could react, the two men in black had already flashed in front of them, instantly knocking them to the ground.
In the lake, Shen Miao was still struggling violently. From what the short man and the thin man said, it seemed that there was a mastermind behind them, and the mastermind seemed to be very powerful. If Shen Miao fell into the hands of these two, she would still be able to think of a way to escape. However, if she fell into that mastermind, the Shen family would probably never be able to find the murderer.
However, she did not expect that this desperate jump would actually trap her in a dead end. The two of them did not jump down to save her for a long time. The lake was cold. Could it be that she was going to die here?
Her head began to feel a little heavy, and her ears were buzzing, as if she had fallen into an icehouse. She could still see the bright lights of the lanterns drifting above her, but she didn’t have the strength to reach out and grab them.
Just as she was about to lose her consciousness, she suddenly saw a figure swimming over from afar. That person’s figure was robust. In the brightly lit lake, he was like a god that had descended from the sky and was swimming towards her.
The person swam up to Shen Miao and hugged her by the waist, bringing her to the surface. On this snowy day, the lake was bone-chilling. It was difficult for a person to swim alone, but it was easy for him to swim while carrying another person. When he swam to the pleasure boat, he lifted Shen Miao up and threw her onto the boat before climbing up.
Shen Miao spat out a few mouthfuls of water and slowly looked up at the figure. That figure was also wet from head to toe. There was no longer a playful expression on his face as before. He looked at her with a frown.
It was Xie Jingxing.
When Shen Miao saw Xie Jingxing, she wasn’t particularly surprised. The two of them were originally here for him. She thought that Xie Jingxing must have known about it and rushed over.
She struggled to get up and saw two more corpses in the cabin. They were the tall and the short men. Two men in black walked out of the depths of the cabin. One of them walked to Xie Jingxing’s side and said something in a low voice. Xie Jingxing waved his hand, and the two of them left with the two corpses. Before they left, they even wiped the blood in the cabin.
Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered to think about who these two people were. Even a fool could tell that they were Xie Jingxing’s people. She moved her body and felt that her entire body was sore. After soaking in the ice water for a good five minute, she was so cold that she kept shivering. Previously, she had been thrown by the tall and thin man several times, and her back was in pain. The most painful part was probably her calf. She looked down at her dress. The entire dress was stuck to her body, and there was blood flowing out of her calf. It was mixed with the red embroidery on the dress, making it difficult to see clearly.
