Chapter 142 Should I Thank You?
"Don't go over there, it must be very dirty! When I got on the boat, I saw that group of people were looking at a lot of dirty sacks. It might be a warehouse!"
"Does Jiang Wang still need to share a boat with others?"
"This ship is the only one that goes to Yicheng, where the black slaves live. They only make this trip once a month. I heard that the person behind these black slaves is very powerful and cannot be underestimated... Even the higher-ups don't dare to touch him."
Jiang Zhi held her breath and tried to kick the wood on the side to make a loud noise to attract the group of people.
However, Jiang Zhi found that the group of people were getting further and further away from her.
At this moment, the door slowly opened and a figure walked in.
Jiang Zhi couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he could feel that he was staring at him.
"You're awake." A deep voice broke the silence.
Jiang Zhi didn't answer. Her heart was beating like a drum and she didn't know what would happen next.
"I advise you not to waste your energy. No one will save you." The man continued, his voice filled with helplessness. "We promised to spare your life, and we will keep our promise. If it weren't for our boss pleading for you, you would have been thrown into the river by now."
Jiang Zhi bit her lower lip tightly. Although she couldn't see the face of the person who came, she could feel the malicious gaze.
She knew she had to stay awake and not let fear take over.
"So, I have to thank you?" Jiang Zhi's voice was weak, but it was firm.
The man did not answer immediately, but walked slowly towards her until his figure loomed above Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi raised her head hard, trying to identify his features, but the dim light allowed her to only see a vague outline.
"We don't need your thanks! We are not here for money, but to repay a favor. Help our boss solve this trouble of yours. From now on, we will be free. Your life in exchange for so many of us is also a great achievement. From now on, be a good slave and keep your life." The voice was cold and resolute, which made Jiang Zhi's heart tighten suddenly.
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath.
Wing City!
That's an area where all laws don't apply.
Black slaves have no human rights over there, but once they arrive in Yicheng, their lives belong to themselves.
"You're going to send me to Wing City?"
The man chuckled, "I thought you were fearless!"
"You might as well just kill me."
"We spared your life out of kindness, but you chose to do it."
"I won't survive if I go to Yicheng. It would be better if you just stab me directly."
The man was stunned for a few seconds.
The tone of voice this person uses.
Why does it look so much like that time... when he saved their boss at the mass grave.
"You still have a chance of survival if you go to Yicheng. Life or death depends entirely on your decision."
A surge of anger surged in Jiang Zhi's heart. She knew that she couldn't give in like this.
"I won't let you succeed."
"Really?" The man seemed indifferent to Jiang Zhi's resistance.
"Then let's wait and see."
Jiang Zhi closed her eyes. She needed to concentrate all her energy to deal with what might happen next.
She knew that she had to find a chance to escape, otherwise, she would become a slave, lose her name, and disappear from this world forever.
As the night deepened, the sound of the waves seemed to grow louder.
The sound of the waves mixed with the deafening sound of fireworks that rang overhead.
The window on that side was open.
She saw the fireworks flying all over the sky.
Being able to see such a beautiful scenery before dying makes people suddenly want to survive.
Her thoughts seemed to be influenced by someone.
She couldn't stay here any longer.
Jiang Wang!
It's her only chance.
……
Noisy interior.
The room was like a bar, filled with a mixture of metallic sounds.
There was a woman sitting next to Jiang Wang.
The woman's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Jiang Zhi's.
Jiang Wang's gaze lingered on the woman's face for a moment, and the similarity between her eyebrows and eyes made his heart move.
He tried to find more traces of Jiang Zhi in the woman's demeanor, but soon realized that it was just an illusion. Jiang Zhi was unique, and her shadow could not be easily found in anyone else.
The woman seemed to feel Jiang Wang's gaze, and she smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery and temptation in her smile.
Jiang Wang came back to his senses. He knew that he shouldn't let his thoughts drift to Jiang Zhi, especially in such an occasion.
"What's your name?" Jiang Wang asked, with a hint of unintentional indifference in his voice.
The woman took a sip of the wine in her glass and then slowly said, "You can call me Lily."
Jiang Wang nodded. He didn't care what her real name was.
On this night, he just needs someone to accompany him, someone who can make him forget his troubles temporarily.
"Jiang Wang, you're so handsome! Even more handsome in real life than on TV."
Lily seemed to know how to please Jiang Wang. She spoke to him in a soft voice, and the occasional laughter and teasing made Jiang Wang feel a little more relaxed.
However, there is always an empty place in Jiang Wang's heart.
"You look like you have something on your mind," Lily said softly, her hand gently resting on Jiang Wang's arm, "Perhaps I can help you share some of your worries."
Jiang Wang turned his head and looked at Lily's delicate face, "Take your hands away!"
There was a barely perceptible hint of coldness in Jiang Wang's voice.
"..."
However, just as Jiang Wang was trying to immerse himself in the relaxed atmosphere of the night, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
"The test results are in. You and Madam...are not related by blood! This test result is authentic. Madam was completely unaware of the entire process..."
As time went on, the atmosphere in the bar became more lively.
The heavy metal music's tempo grew faster and faster, and the crowd's cheers rose and fell. Jiang Wang sat quietly, occasionally raising his glass, letting the alcohol temporarily numb his nerves.
"Jiang Wang, I've prepared a lot of surprises for today, so please drink less."
A man in sloppy clothes came over and said, "I know you've been in a bad mood these past few days. Don't worry, I will definitely make you happy."
"Not interested in."
He simply pushed the stool away and walked out.
This ship.
Very big.
He stood on the deck.
The night wind was mixed with the smell of the sea and the embers of distant fireworks.
The light from the phone screen was particularly dazzling in the darkness. He checked the message again to confirm that he had not seen it wrong.
There was no blood relationship, and this news was like a bolt of lightning that split the fog in his heart.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhi struggled to find a way to escape from the cabin. She knew she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to find a way to escape from this place that was about to become her prison.
bang.
And right now.
There was a sound from one of the rooms.
He walked over.
"You..." The man quickly spotted Jiang Wang behind him, "Mr. Jiang, that's a warehouse, it's very dirty, you'd better not go there to avoid dirtying your clothes. You're the birthday boy today, don't..."
Jiang Wang came back to his senses.
Look at the man over there.
Bang!
"Is there anyone inside?"
"...Yes, they are all black slaves sent to Yicheng."
