Chapter 862: He Didn’t Choose

Editor: Henyee Translations

While Sofia and Huo Yichen were talking, Murong Qiao finally managed to loosen the rope more.

Then, with a mentality that was almost like a gamble, she looked at Sofia’s back and circled the rope with her hands. Her body was tense at all times, afraid that she would turn around.

Fortunately, from Huo Yichen’s angle, he could see Murong Qiao’s actions clearly. Therefore, he cooperated very well and kept stalling Sofia’s attention, giving Murong Qiao a chance to breathe and save herself.

After the rope was completely untied and Murong Qiao ensured that she could move freely, she pretended that the rope was still wrapped around her feet. Then, she leaned towards Jiang Weiyang and helped her untie her rope.

She was not in a good state now. It would be best if she could obtain Jiang Weiyang’s help.

Moreover, Sofia had yet to realize that her limbs were already free. Untying Jiang Weiyang’s rope was not a difficult task. It only took a minute or two before it was loosened.

“Alright, alright—we can save all that talk for the future. We’ll talk about it when we return to the country. Let’s solve the problem at hand first.”

Sofia was not a fool. She had only answered Huo Yichen’s questions for so long because she was sufficiently patient with him.

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to interrupt Huo Yichen. Then, she glanced behind her and saw the two people still tied up by the rope. She looked in Huo Yichen’s direction again.

“We don’t have much time to waste,” she said, then waved the gun in her hand.

“Why don’t you choose? Should I kill her? Or should I throw her into the sea to feed the fishes?”

To cut grass, one had to remove the roots. This was a principle that Sofia had understood since she was young.

And she always had to get what she liked. This was also Sofia’s usual style. When these two points were combined, they naturally formed a somewhat extreme way of doing things.

But before Huo Yichen could speak, Sofia heard a voice suddenly come from behind.

“He doesn’t even have to choose.” As Murong Qiao spoke, she wrapped the rope in her hand around Sofia’s neck without hesitation and pulled her in.

The power that erupted in that instant was powerful enough, and it caught Sofia off guard, causing her to struggle in panic.

Sofia’s reaction was also very fast. When she realized that Murong Qiao had suddenly broken free, she remembered that she still had a gun in her hand. She endured the discomfort and wanted to pick up the gun and shoot. At this moment, Huo Yichen, who was standing in the distance, rushed up in a few steps and snatched the gun away.

The suffocating feeling gradually invaded Sofia, making her vision darken.

She instinctively slapped the hands around her neck, but her vision gradually darkened.

Because Sofia suddenly turned around just now and allowed Murong Qiao to untie the rope, she realized that Sofia was gradually becoming unguarded. She became patient and attacked directly. However, seeing that there were no tools to use, she could only use the rope.

However, she had no intention of killing the other party. She only strangled the other party and made her feel dizzy. Then, it would be best to tie her up later.

At first, Sofia was still gradually struggling. Later on, as she wrestled with Murong Qiao, the same strength that she maintained from beginning to end gradually disappeared. Her strength and body softened.

Seeing this, Murong Qiao was about to turn around and call out to Huo Yichen to help him tie her up, but when she turned around, she only let go for a second before Sofia, who was pretending to be weak, seized the opportunity.

“Go to hell!”

She pulled the rope and used her body as inertia to lead Murong Qiao to swing the other party under the ship.

Murong Qiao’s vigilance had yet to dissipate, but she didn’t expect Sofia to suddenly erupt with so much strength. She immediately couldn’t withstand it and was forced to follow the other party’s strength out of the railing. In the end, the strength she used to pull the rope brought Sofia down as well.

The two of them were originally standing on the deck, but because of Sofia’s actions, Murong Qiao was suddenly forced off the deck, desperately trying to hold onto the railing. Sofia was still under the rope wrapped around her other hand.

“Qiaoqiao!”

Huo Yichen noticed it immediately. When he reached out, the two of them had already flipped out. It was too late.

He tried to pull Murong Qiao back, but it wasn’t just one person he was trying to save. There was also Sofia below.

The two of them were dangling from the railing. Even if Huo Yichen was an adult man, he couldn’t pull them up directly.

Beside him, Jiang Weiyang was still stunned by this series of unforeseen events. She was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground. It was only when she realized that they were about to fall into the sea that she reacted and hurriedly began to break free from the rope.

Murong Qiao didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this, but looking at Huo Yichen, who was still trying to pull her up, she didn’t let go of Sofia’s hand.

After all, it was a life. Even if the other party wanted to kill her, Murong Qiao wouldn’t let go and throw the other party into the sea.

“Why aren’t you letting go?” There was still a smile on Sofia’s face. She was clearly a little crazy.

Sofia didn’t seem to expect the situation to turn out like this. However, now that she was hanging under Murong Qiao, she grabbed Murong Qiao’s wrist indifferently, wanting her to let go and throw her down.

Didn’t Huo Yichen like clean things? Then, as long as she made Murong Qiao throw her into the sea, she could be considered a murderer.

After all, no one could save her now if she fell here.

Sofia could see very clearly that even though the situation was changing rapidly, it had still proceeded in the direction she wanted the most.

“What a joke. I’m still waiting to see you go to jail.” Murong Qiao snorted reluctantly. No matter how hard Sophia grabbed her wrist, she endured the pain and didn’t let go.

It was not that she had developed the heart of a Saint at the last minute. It was just that she wanted someone else to judge Sofia’s crime, not throw her into the sea in this situation.

However, it was a little difficult for Huo Yichen to pull the two of them up.

“Let me help you!”

Even though Jiang Weiyang had broken free from the ropes and came over to help, her strength seemed negligible in this rescue.

As if she could tell that Huo Yichen didn’t want to let go even if he was beaten to death, and that Murong Qiao had no intention of throwing her down, Sofia simply gave up on scratching her wrist.

Unexpectedly, she grabbed the other party and used her as a ladder as she climbed up.

Sofia was not strong, so her progress was slow. However, she was pulled by Murong Qiao and hung on her body.

Just as Huo Yichen and Jiang Weiyang thought that the other party wanted to use Murong Qiao as a ladder to climb up to gain life, Sofia uncharacteristically pressed her hand on Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao’s linked hands. Then, she took out a knife from somewhere and stabbed them.

She had used so much strength that Huo Yichen could barely control his instinct and loosened his grip.

When Huo Yichen reacted, he wanted to tighten his grip, but it was too late.

He could only watch as Sofia and Murong Qiao fell into the sea.
