Chapter 1481: Great is a mother's love, but only for her own child

~8 min read 1,511 words

"Are you trying to die, are you trying to die? If you want to die, go die on your own, don't drag us down with you. I haven't lived enough yet..."

The woman punched and kicked the thug who was threatening Lu Feifei. That man didn't dare to fight back at all, covering his head with both hands and begging for mercy: "Big Sister, spare my life! I won't do it again, I'll never dare to do it again!"

That woman wasn't a good person either; she was the wife of the Pirates' leader, and everyone called her Big Sister.

The reason she stopped Lu Feifei from committing suicide was, of course, not out of the goodness of her heart, but because there was an unwritten rule among the Pirates: before the ransom for the hostages was in hand, it was best not to see blood, and no one could die.

Dead people are unlucky and will bring bad luck upon oneself!

People like them, who lived their lives on the edge of a blade, were mostly very superstitious.

Lu Feifei escaped a disaster, but the small knife was also confiscated.

After surviving the brush with death, she slumped on the ground, completely drained of all strength.

The woman who had just been saved quietly handed her a piece of chocolate: "Girl, thank you."

"You're welcome."

She took the chocolate, tore open the wrapper, and put it in her mouth, feeling a sliver of strength return to her body.

"Girl, what is your name? You are so bold, actually carrying a knife on you." The woman was very impressed with Lu Feifei.

Lu Feifei gave a bitter smile: "Actually, I didn't intend to hurt anyone else with the knife; I just prepared it for a situation like the one just now."

When Lu Feifei worked on the cruise ship, she had heard legends about the Pirates, and one of them was that before the Pirates received the ransom, they were unwilling to have anyone die, and the thing they tabooed most was someone committing suicide.

At the time, she was just curious when she heard it and didn't pay much attention, but she remembered it.

When the cruise ship was hijacked by the Pirates, Lu Feifei saw a small knife on the dining table and hid it on her person.

Even if she couldn't hurt others, hurting herself would work too!

She didn't expect that she was just taking a gamble at the time, and she had actually guessed right.

The little girl's mother whispered: "You used yourself to threaten them, and they were actually afraid. Maybe these people aren't too bad after all. Why don't we beg that woman to let us go?"

She knew there wasn't that much money at home, and only one of her and her daughter could survive, so she wanted to find every possible way to escape.

Lu Feifei said: "It's useless. These people are all demons who kill without blinking; begging her is of no use at all."

The little girl's mother said: "But she saved you just now, which means that woman should be able to have a soft heart, right?" As she spoke, she looked eager to try.

Lu Feifei stopped her from going over and explained the reason.

Only then did the girl's mother realize that the woman saving Lu Feifei had nothing to do with kindness; it was just because it was unlucky!

But she didn't retreat; instead, she was even more tempted.

She wanted to escape.

The woman thought that if she ran out, it should be fine. Anyway, the ransom hadn't arrived, so these Pirates couldn't do anything to her.

After making up her mind, she shoved her daughter into Lu Feifei's arms: "Girl, you are a good person, so be a good person to the end and help us mother and daughter, will you? My daughter is entrusted to you."

"What are you trying to do?" Lu Feifei saw that the look in her eyes was wrong.

"I have to live, and my daughter has to live too. You don't know that our family's situation isn't good; it's not enough to pay the ransom for two people. If I just sit still and don't resist, only one of me and my daughter can live. Please, do a good deed and take care of her for a while. If I run out, they won't kill me, and my daughter can live too," the woman said urgently.

"No, you can't be impulsive, let me finish speaking..."

Lu Feifei realized something was wrong; she hadn't finished her words just now.

That's right, the Pirates did have that rule, but their rule was still useless for those who wanted to escape.

Moreover, if caught and brought back, one would only receive even more ruthless retaliation.

The woman couldn't wait; she was desperate to run and couldn't listen to what Lu Feifei had to say next at all.

What was even more fatal was that her actions were discovered by the people around her, and everyone was restless.

The commotion grew, and the thugs also discovered the abnormality among the crowd!

The female thug shouted in a shrill voice: "What are you doing? What do you want to do? Squat down, everyone squat down."

Someone shouted: "Run! If we don't run now, it'll be too late." So people rushed out in a flurry, fleeing in all directions.

"Damn it, these people want to escape, shoot them."

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

The man running in the front fell to the ground in response, collapsing into a pool of blood.

"Ah!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"They're killing people!"

Most people stopped and squatted on the ground with their hands covering their heads.

The surroundings were full of screams; the women's shrieks mixed with the children's crying, and the scene was in total chaos.

There were also people who didn't listen and continued to run toward the direction of the sea.

The familiar cruise ship was right in front of them, and these people naively thought that as long as they ran to the ship, they would be safe.

But at this moment, "Bang! Bang!" came two more gunshots from the cruise ship, and two more people fell to the ground, motionless.

Now no one dared to run anymore, and the people who had fled were rounded up and brought back.

The woman was once again pushed beside Lu Feifei, and she glared at Lu Feifei with resentment: "It's all your fault. If you didn't know, you shouldn't have talked nonsense, causing me to almost lose my life."

No good deed goes unpunished.

Lu Feifei didn't want to argue; it was meaningless. She returned the girl to her mother and then leaned to the side, trying to stay as far away from that mother and daughter as possible.

"You, come out here." The Pirate Big Sister dragged the woman out of the crowd in a fit of rage; it was time to settle the score.

She was the first one to run out just now, and now she wanted to act like nothing happened? Dream on!

"You damn bitch, you don't want to live, right? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

Big Sister pointed her gun at the woman's head, and the woman screamed in terror.

"Ah! Don't kill me!! Ah! I was wrong, I won't do it again, I'll never dare to do it again!"

"I still have a child, my child hasn't grown up yet, please, we are both women, just spare me."

The girl was sobbing until she was out of breath; she wanted to rush out to save her mother.

The people around them did nothing, as everyone feared bringing trouble upon themselves, but Lu Feifei gritted her teeth and once again pulled the girl into her arms, not letting her go over.

At this moment, she remembered the words Principal Gu had said back then: "Lu Feifei is a good girl; she was just confused for a moment."

For the sake of those words, she saved the girl once again.

But she also placed herself in a dangerous situation once again!

The sister-in-law grabbed the woman by the hair and slammed her head against the wall fiercely; before long, she had smashed her head until it was bleeding.

The girl's mother begged for mercy repeatedly, but the female thug did not believe her: "You wouldn't dare? I think you've got a lot of nerve; what wouldn't you dare to do? I saw it all; you were the one leading the run just now."

"It wasn't me... it was her, she was the one who told me to run." The woman pointed her hand at Lu Feifei, biting back at her.

In order to survive, she spouted nonsense: "She was the one who told us to run; she said as long as everyone's ransom hadn't arrived, you wouldn't do anything to us. I was just confused for a moment, please spare me. I'm not afraid of death, but my daughter hasn't grown up yet..."
