Chapter 312 Kill Whoever It Is
Bai Rong was shocked to the core. She stood up immediately and the rope in her hand fell to the ground. “Why are you here?”
“Let’s get out of here first. We’ll talk about it later on the boat,” Su Xuyan said as he went inside the shack.
When she heard his words, she froze. A deep frown formed on her face and she started to breathe irregularly.
Get out of here? How about Gu Mingchen? What if I tell him that Gu Mingchen is here? No, I can’t tell him. He won’t bring Gu Mingchen with us and he might even kill him. If I tell him I don’t want to leave, he will get suspicious and continues to stay. By the time Gu Mingchen comes back, they’ll definitely meet each other.
“Wait for me outside. I have something to pack before I go,” she said.
Su Xuyan scrutinized the shack. He glanced from the bamboo fence to the firewood in the corner and the hams on the ground. The longer he looked, the angrier he became. His previous joyful expression was replaced with a livid expression.
“Who else lives here?” Su Xuyan asked.
“I live alone.”
“These were all built by you?” He looked at her with disbelief and examined the emotions in her eyes.
She held his gaze calmly.
If I say that the shack is already here when I first arrived on this island, he certainly will not believe me. He can see that the shack is recently built through the color of the bamboo.
With such thoughts in her mind, she replied, “Yes.”
He snorted with laughter and looked at the food. “Where did you get the ham? You hunted it?”
“I asked others for it. There are other people on this island. If you don’t believe it, I will take you there now,” Bai Rong said monotonously, staring at him. If he insists on going with her, I’d take him to the bamboo house and pretend to faint halfway. What to do after that? It depends on fate.
Su Xuyan smirked. Stretching his arm out to her, he pulled her to his side. “You’ve explained everything in detail. Is there any other reason not to believe you? Anyway, it looks like there’s nothing to clean up here. Do you seriously want to bring these ham and fish?”
“I’m on my menses now. Is there any feminine product on your boat?” Bai Rong asked.
He felt even more shocked. “You’re on your period? How do you deal with it here?”
“Wait.” She climbed up to the bed and tore open a sanitary pad. Hurriedly, she used the ash from the pad to write a word: Wait.
Then, she took the other sanitary pads down and said, “Let’s go.”
Su Xuyan eyed the bed skeptically.
As Bai Rong was afraid of what he would find if they stayed longer, she quickly left the shack first.
When she reached outside, she saw that he had brought six of his men and they were now standing in two rows.
At the seashore, Su Xuyan’s white cruise ship glittered under the sunlight.
She estimated that it would take more than six hours for her to go back and it meant that it would be twelve hours later when Song Xiyu could fetch his son from this island.
If Gu Mingchen goes back to the shack after sunset, he might not be able to see the words I’ve left on the bed. If he couldn’t find her, he’d think that she has gone out looking for him. I have to leave him a clearer message.
“Why are you still standing here?” Su Xuyan’s voice came from her back.
Bai Rong turned and looked at him. “Those fish is not valuable since I simply caught them using a net. But the hams are quite rare. It’d be a pity if I don’t take them with me. Besides, it’d take about six hours to go back, so I can make some pork dish for you while we’re on the boat.”
“Okay.”
As she walked towards the shack, Su Xuyan glared sullenly at her back and gave an order to the subordinates beside him. “You and two of the others stay on the island and check who lives with Bai Rong. If the person is a male, kill him, no matter who it is.”
“Yes.”
When Bai Rong returned to the shack, she promptly took a piece of charred wood and wrote on the stone: I have left by boat. Wait.
She covered the stone with leaves, fearing that Su Xuyan would come in and find out the message she had left. Carrying the hams in her hands, she left the shack and saw Su Xuyan standing alone on the beach.
She cast her eyes down and walked towards him. He took the hams from her hands and looked at them. “These look good. Are there a lot of bushmeat on this island?”
“I’ve been here for four days and I haven’t seen any wild animals yet. But there are a lot of fish and crabs on this island,” Bai Rong said, walking towards the deck.
Su Xuyan followed behind her. After getting onto the boat, he handed the meat to his men.
Bai Rong walked straight to the cockpit and casually asked, “Did you drive the boat?”
He looked sullenly at her, but he did not stop her.
As she reached the door of the cockpit, she saw two people in uniform sitting inside. In a heartbeat, she landed her gaze on the instrument panel and noted the coordinates of the place.
“I see. So, you’re not the one who drove it?” Looking at Su Xuyan, she gave him a slight smile.
He also smiled, but it did not reach his eyes.
Before they even reached the cockpit, he had already understood the reason why she came here. He asked, “Rong, do you remember what you’ve promised me before?”
She froze, looking at him solemnly. “I remember.”
Then, he casually put his hand on her waist and said, “I was worried that you might have forgotten about it after such a long time. Don’t do things that you’ll regret. I have given you several chances and you’ve used up all of them. Do you understand?”
As she stared at the floor, shadows of her long eyelashes covered the fleeting emotions in her eyes.
I’ve decided. Even if my life has only twenty days left, I’d spend the nineteen days with Gu Mingchen. I don’t want to hurt him anymore. Now I guess I need to obey Su Xuyan because I’ve no other choice. Besides, I need to go back to get someone to rescue Gu Mingchen.
“You haven’t told me about how you found me,” Bai Rong said, changing the subject.
“There was someone from a fishing boat called the police, saying that he saw a girl calling for help on an isolated island. He took a photograph and I thought the girl in the photograph looked like you. That’s why I came over.” Su Xuyan explained.
“He called the police? No wonder the fishing boat didn’t approach me. I guess I can understand why he did it. It’s safer that way.”
“If you didn’t ask for help, I would’ve thought you ran away again and I almost issued a global wanted order,” he joked. But there was no humor in his eyes.
“I’m sure that the fisherman did not go to the police in the Zhonggu District. I was stranded on the island because of Chen Bin, the chief of police of the Zhonggu District Police Department. He works under Lu Xingzhou, and I knew that Lu Xingzhou was the one who was behind the murder case.”
“Do you have evidence? If you don’t have evidence, no one will believe it. After all, the people you’re accusing are the chief of police of the Zhonggu District Police Department in Jadeborough and the governor of Jeradus County.
Bai Rong didn’t want Su Xuyan to stand up for her. After I rescue Gu Mingchen, he would solve all the problems.
