Chapter 595: Life on the Line

Mei Shu s nerves were stretched tight. She was shocked to find that, apart from the sound when the other party boarded the ship, she hadn’t heard any other sounds.

This meant that the other party was either a well-trained professional who could conceal even the sound of footsteps, or he was lying in wait outside the door.

In either case, the gun in the other party’s hand posed a deadly threat to her.

Mei Shu hadn’t expected that these people would go to such lengths to take her life!

Who was the person behind all this!

She couldn’t afford to let her guard down. After all, she was indeed in mortal danger within a year, and it might be happening now.

Whether she could escape this ordeal depended on now!

With this in mind, she quickly scanned the surroundings. Fortunately, there was a window in the room through which she could escape, so she wasn’t completely trapped.

After making up her mind, Mei Shu slowly moved in that direction, covering her wound.

She tried to minimize the sound of her footsteps. If the other party was indeed a skilled professional, any slight noise she made might give away her intentions, and he could block her escape route completely.

Time seemed to stretch endlessly at that moment.

The closer she got to the window, the more nervous Mei Shu became.

She had never had such a rapid heartbeat, but when faced with real danger, even she couldn’t help feeling afraid.

But now wasn’t the time to be afraid.

Alone on the sea, being hunted down, she could only rely on herself to survive!

Mei Shu took a deep breath, steadied herself, and used her uninjured hand to hold onto the window frame. After silently counting to three in her mind, she decisively flipped out of the window.

But what she didn’t expect was that another gunshot followed closely behind her.

He reacted so fast!

Mei Shu thought grimly. She quickly dodged to the side. This rime the bullet grazed her cheek, leaving a fiery bloodstain on her face.

She wiped the blood away and prepared to confront the other party.

If she hadn’t been caught off guard by the first gunshot, she would have had at least a sixty percent chance of winning now.

But the constant loss of blood and increasing pain from her arm were draining her strength. Plus, she hadn’t eaten in a day and a night. Even a strong person couldn’t hold on without collapsing.

A drop of blood fell to the ground, blossoming into a bright red flower.

Mei Shu quickly wiped away the blood, then covered the wound again and swiftly retreated into the darkness behind her.

In this situation, she could only try not to let the intruder discover her whereabouts.

Mei Shu was highly concentrated, maximizing her vision and hearing.

But this was far from enough to escape.

She had to think of a way to get out of this danger quickly!

On the other side of the wall, the steady footsteps were gradually approaching, and Mei Shu even heard the sound of the intruder loading the gun.

Damn it, he could clearly move without malting any sound just now. Now, deliberately malting noise undoubtedly meant he wanted to confuse her.

But the more critical the situation, the less she could afford to panic.

Mei Shu forced herself to calm down.

There must be some way to temporarily escape the current predicament.

There must be!

She couldn’t die here!

After the sound of the pistol being loaded ended, the footsteps stopped a step away from him.

Mei Shu was so nervous that his entire body was trembling. In the next second, the person was about to turn around and point the gun in Mei Shu’s direction.

There must be a way!

A voice in her heart kept saying that.

She still had younger brothers at home who needed her to take care of them.

She still wanted to see her brothers have happy endings.

And there was Lu Si.

She hadn’t had a chance to tell him in person that she truly liked him.

She couldn’t die! Absolutely not!

The footsteps hesitated for a moment, and the man was about to turn around.

Mei Shu s brain was spinning rapidly.

The only way to escape was not to be seen by the intruder!

Wait! She remembered a function in the system that she had never used before!

[Counting on you!]

As soon as Mei Shu’s words echoed in her mind, the man had already turned with his gun raised.

However, the expected figure did not appear, and there was only a pile of clutter where she had just been.

The man furrowed his brow in confusion.

He was sure that there had been a very obvious sound of breathing here just now.

But now it had suddenly disappeared.

Could he have misheard?

After much thought, he decided not to dwell on it any longer and turned to walk in another direction.

But he would never know that just before he turned the corner of the wall, Mei Shu urgently spent twenty points, activating the invisibility function of the system. Although it only lasted for a short five minutes, it was enough to get her out of danger!

But five minutes was far from enough!

With great courage, Mei Shu resolved to take advantage of these five minutes when she wouldn’t be seen and boarded the other party’s cruise ship directly. She wanted to see who was so determined to make her die tonight at all costs! On the top floor of the cruise ship was the presidential suite.

The woman gently swirled her highball glass, contentedly admiring the romantic starry sky that seemed to belong to her alone.

After awhile, the mercenary returned, full of apologies, “I’m sorry, master, I didn’t kill the target. The target has disappeared and should not be on that
