Chapter 153: She actually called him Brother

The night was dark, and the waves were crashing against the shore.

Shi Xi was wearing a black trench coat, a sun hat, and sunglasses to cover the black hole that was her eye, walking toward the wharf step by step.

Just then, a loud "bang" suddenly came from the direction of the warehouse.

It was a gunshot!

Shi Xi's heart trembled, and a worry she had never felt before rose from the bottom of her heart.

That fool... was he discovered by the police?!

Is he still alive?!

Or has he... been shot dead?!

Shi Xi knew very well that from beginning to end, she had never loved that man; he was just a pawn for her revenge.

However, thinking that if he were really dead, if he were no longer in this world... she couldn't control her heart, which felt like it was being pinched.

Her footsteps paused.

For a moment, she even felt that if Gu Fei died, what was the point of her living in this world?

But in the next second, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"Heh, everything that fool did was voluntary; I didn't force him!"

"What does his life or death have to do with me?!"

Shi Xi felt ashamed of the momentary softness she had just felt.

Even annoyed.

Soon, she took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and continued walking forward.

"Ticket."

On the deck at the bow of the ship, a burly man with a gold chain and tattoos on his arms stopped Shi Xi.

Shi Xi looked up at the man. Although she didn't recognize him, seeing his appearance, Shi Xi knew he must be some kind of gangster or hooligan.

There was no other way; all the "black ship" businesses in Lanwan City were monopolized by these underworld organizations. If she wanted to smuggle herself out of the country, she could only seek help from these people.

Shi Xi had bought the ticket on the dark web.

"Here."

Shi Xi handed the ticket voucher to the "big tattooed arm" to see. The big tattooed arm looked at the ticket and then looked Shi Xi up and down carefully.

His gaze was naked and rough, making Shi Xi feel uneasy. She originally thought the big tattooed arm would make her take off her sunglasses, but a few seconds later, the big tattooed arm just said "Mm" with an expressionless face:

"Go in."

Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved of a heavy burden and walked into the cabin.

This was a cargo ship, and the cabin was filled with boxes of all sizes and styles. She didn't know what was in those boxes, but there was a pungent smell.

Shi Xi covered her nose and walked to the third floor with a look of disgust before finding a narrow seat among a pile of boxes.

As she walked, she felt a bit puzzled...

Why was there no one here?

And why was it so quiet?

Even though it was smuggling, it was a bit strange that she was the only one on the whole ship...

It was pitch black all around, and Shi Xi couldn't help but feel uneasy... She felt in her pocket, wanting to take out her phone to provide light, only then remembering that she had left her phone in the car.

Shi Xi knew that Shi Heng could locate her position through her phone.

And this time... she was determined not to let her family find her again!

Hmph, she wanted her brother to be unable to find her anywhere in the world and regret it! Just like he did with Shi Yi, only knowing how good she was after losing her!

Heh, Shi Yi could play the same trick, why couldn't she?!

So, Shi Xi didn't bring her phone or bank card, only some cash. She planned to live on her own skills after arriving in J Country.

She had had enough of being the Third Miss of the Shi family who only lived in her sister's shadow!

*Sob, sob, sob*...

The whistle sounded, and the ship soon sailed away from the wharf. The hull swayed slightly, and outside the window, the seawater carrying a salty, fishy smell crashed against the ship's side wave after wave.

Just then, a sound of "step, step, step" footsteps came from not far away.

Someone?

The footsteps came from far to near, and immediately after, the lights on the ceiling turned on one by one, and a tall figure walked over slowly.

He saw a man with moon-white silver hair, dressed in black clothes and black pants, wearing a pair of sturdy long boots, his hands in his pockets, and a pair of emerald green eyes emitting a beast-like, glowing light.

"Who are you?!"

Shi Xi was frightened by the man's momentum and stepped back cautiously.

"Heh, you don't recognize me? But it doesn't matter. I think you should recognize my sister, right?"

The man's mouth curled into a sinister and eerie smile.

"Who is your sister?"

"Chu, Meng, Rou."

The man said word by word.

"Boom!" A thunderbolt struck Shi Xi's mind. Her pupils shrank, and her body began to tremble violently.

"What did you say? Chu... Chu Mengrou... could it be... could it be that you are her younger brother... Chu... Chu Yehan?!"

"Yo, looks like you remembered."

How could Shi Xi forget!

That fire ten years ago was set by her own hands! She watched it turn from a small flame into a raging fire in just a few minutes!

People were crying for help, and she was holding her brother Shi Heng's hand, running for her life!

The scorching flames were like a terrifying fire snake, chasing behind her all the way, as if it would swallow her in the next moment! Just as she finally escaped the room, she turned around and closed the door tightly with a "bang."

Just like that, a living life was locked inside and burned to death by the fire.

Her name... was Chu Mengrou.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"I didn't mean to cause your sister's death!"

"I didn't know she was still inside? I thought there was no one in the room... I just wanted to stop the fire from spreading... I really didn't know there was someone in the house!"

Shi Xi put her hands together and apologized incoherently, her eyes full of panic and fear.

Chu Yehan smiled sarcastically:

"You didn't know? Hahahaha, you say you didn't know? Can't you hear her crying and begging? Can't you hear her knocking on the door one by one?!"

Chu Yehan approached Shi Xi step by step, his eyes shooting out sharp and ruthless light like a hawk.

"Do you know that when my sister died, her fingernails were full of blood and wood chips? That was caused by her grabbing the door over and over again! You say you couldn't hear? You say you couldn't hear?!"

Shi Xi's heart trembled uncontrollably, and fear surrounded her like a tide.

She instinctively reached into her pocket, wanting to call for help, begging her family to come save her!

But she discovered in despair that her phone had long been discarded...

It was she herself who had actively abandoned her family, actively abandoned those who had once protected her!

"I'm sorry... I was wrong... please spare me..."

At this very moment, Shi Xi had become an isolated island. Except for begging humbly, she had no other way.

"Heh, spare you?"

"The one who set the fire was you! The one who locked the door was also you! Ten years ago, you should have been arrested and sent to prison, but you let Xing'er take the blame for you for five years! Let her bear all the crimes you committed!"

A thick murderous aura suddenly covered Chu Yehan's eyes.

"You woman, you should have died long ago!" ===== CHAPTER 154 =====
