001, falling into the sea
In early autumn and September, the weather in Haicheng is not cool but it is getting hotter and hotter.
Fortunately, it was night, and the scorching sun had receded into a much milder moon, with the occasional starlight twinkling in the dark curtain.
Today is Ning Ying's seventeenth birthday.
A day ago, her father, Bai Ze, took time out of his busy time to personally tell Sù Ningying that he wanted to surprise her, and the next afternoon, he asked his sister-in-law Lin Huazhen to take her to this gorgeous pure white large cruise ship, saying that his father would personally celebrate her birthday.
From Lin Huazhen's tone, it should be a rare honor for her father to celebrate her birthday in person.
However, this broke Ning Ying's original plan to go back to Haicheng to see Sister Hua and Tailong, which made her a little resistant in her heart. But Bai Ze's hospitality was not easy for her to refuse, so she had to obey Lin Huazhen's Jianyi, painted light makeup, wore dresses and short skirts, and then went on the cruise ship with a bunch of well-dressed and high-end men and women.
She thought to herself, the place where she boarded the ship was very close to Haicheng, and it would not be too late to return to the old house tomorrow when she got off the boat.
Except for the Bai family on the cruise ship, there was no one Ning Ying knew well, the atmosphere was very embarrassing for her, and even the so-called brothers, sisters and sisters-in-law were unconsciously estranged from her, Ning Ying wanted to hide somewhere to spend the night.
Who knew that just two hours ago, Bai Ze asked the secretary to call her, and gave her a ruby pendant that seemed to be very expensive from Burmese in front of everyone, and personally put it on for her daughter in the eyes of a whole boatload of people with envy and jealousy, saying that it was a birthday gift. Then it was a bloody TV series that pushed the cake cart out, and it was champagne and candles or something.
Ning Ying was not accustomed to this feeling of a bunch of strangers' eyes overlapping on her, so after finishing dinner quickly, she took advantage of the chaos of the dance party and barbecue pie duì, and climbed upstairs slightly.
"Ah, liberate ......"
On the second deck, which was much quieter, a person was blowing the cool breeze from the sea, and by the faint light, she breathed a sigh of relief, and felt the pendant out of her clothes, and looked at it vaguely.
Ning Ying actually doesn't understand gemstones, just now I heard people muttering that this droplet-shaped gemstone, which is larger than a coin, is the best pigeon blood red among rubies, with scarce production, the most positive color, and extremely transparent aura.
She stared at the gem with light for a few seconds, and felt that the inside of the ruby was slightly purple, as if there were some natural lines in it.
Just watching, a wave suddenly hit, the deck shook, Ning Ying didn't stand firm, and hurriedly held on to the guardrail, twisted her high heels, and almost fell.
In the blink of an eye, the deck quickly returned to calm, and Ning Ying covered her heart and breathed a sigh of relief, it was she who was careless, and it would not be good if she rolled into the sea at night.
At this moment, Ning Ying suddenly realized a problem. Her cheeks seemed to be constantly hot from the beginning, and her head was a little groggy and uncomfortable, and from a distance from this corner of the deck, why did the figures of the open-air barbecue below the first floor start to shake? Leaning against the side of the ship on the second deck, she couldn't figure it out.
She obviously pushed away all the persuasion just now, and only drank a few glasses of orange juice without a trace of alcohol, how could she be dizzy, could it be that she was seasick? No way.
Just as she was about to go back to the cabin room to rest, Ning Ying suddenly noticed a few more shaking shadows on the deck floor.
She didn't have time to scream before someone covered her mouth and nose from behind.
Out of instinct, Ning Ying struggled frantically, and grabbed it with both hands, but was easily clamped by the man.
The rhythmic sound of the woman's heels touching the deck was particularly eerie in the dimly lit night.
Ning Ying's eyes widened, and as far as her eyes could see, two people walked out from behind her. One of them, a young woman with long black hair, passed by her, her dark purple skirt swaying in the sea breeze, and she raised her slender arms and leaned gracefully on the side of the ship.
This is a woman with average facial features, a very slender body, and a unique temperament, and at this time, the woman is tilting her head and looking at Ning Ying with playful eyes.
Although her mouth and nose were covered, the girl's clear and bright eyes still stared at her unrelentingly.
The eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, the delicate goose egg face, the complexion is as delicate and white as a baby, no matter from which angle it can be regarded as a beauty embryo, plus the diamond-level identity background that is comparable to winning tens of millions of lottery tickets, so that women can't help but feel a trace of jealousy.
Pursing the corners of her smeared red mouth, the woman ordered the man who was clamping Ning Ying, "Go, take her necklace to me." ”
necklace, Ning Ying's ears moved.
Is it just here to rob? Improvised, or premeditated? But no matter what, there shouldn't be such a person on the Bai family's private cruise ship...... Ning Ying didn't have any gems, but the man behind her was really suffocating.
She has never been a person who is tied up, and her bloody upbringing in the welfare home told her that if you want others to stop bullying you, you must treat many things-for-tat, and you can't let those who have intentions succeed once, otherwise they will bully themselves again and again, with more cruel means.
Ning Ying took advantage of the man's distraction to pull his pendant, broke free with both hands, and then quickly bit down on his thick arm with the tattoo of a coiled dragon.
The man didn't expect this little girl to be so ruthless at once, and the sharp pain in his arm made him subconsciously let go of his hand.
Fortunately, he was trained in fighting and killing, but he didn't scream out because of his gaffe.
Ning Ying's bowed body came out from under the man's arm, and before she could spit out the bloody smell in her mouth, she suddenly slapped her.
She was stunned by the slap, and her eyes were dazzled, and she staggered back a few steps and fell heavily to the side of the boat.
The woman's cold gaze shot like a viper.
The slap just now came from her, and she is also a woman, so she really didn't show any mercy.
Ning Ying endured the huge pain in her cheeks and tried to stabilize her body, and the other party's sharp cursing voice came from her ears.
"Can't even a little girl get it? Damn, rice bucket. ”
Seeing that the tooth mark on his arm was bleeding non-stop, the tattooed man was unhappy, moved the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking.
The woman in the purple dress said to another little man with very dark skin, "Go, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and take off her necklace, and then throw it into the sea to feed the fish." ”
This sentence was like a wake-up call, which made Ning Ying feel excited. If she heard her correctly, the three men came for the purpose of killing people.
Ning Ying thought that she had grown so big that she shouldn't have provoked any enemies who had to be your life. But looking at the three people who are targeting herself today, she subconsciously feels that they are probably not ordinary gangsters, they are not the people on the **, and they have carefully calculated the target before, figured out their habits, and put something on the drink they drank before.
The worst of intentions - they are even accustomed to killing......
The little dark-skinned man shot out a dagger and walked towards him eerily.
Ning Ying had nowhere to escape from the dead corner of the ship's back, and what was even worse was that she didn't know if it was because of the smelly blood in her mouth, or nervousness, or the effect of the medicine, her throat and eyes couldn't make a sound!
Are you going to die here today?
But she was not reconciled, what happened today, including the acquisition of this expensive gem, was not her will. Ning Ying's dream is very simple, just in a small seaside town, she and Sister Hua and Tailong live in peace, study, fall in love, get married, and have children. knew that this was the case, what kind of biological father who was worth billions, what was the fourth lady of the Bai family, she really shouldn't have paid attention to it.
When the other party pressed forward step by step, seeing that the cold light of the knife handle was about to pierce her throat, Ning Ying's brain suddenly went blank, and instinctively used up her last strength, kicked her feet, and pressed her arms against the guardrail to support her back......
"Quick, rip off her pendant, don't let her jump into the sea!"
The first quarter moon looked down on the extravagance of the earth at an absolute height, and the dark waves once again surged in a dull manner, hitting the white luxury cruise ship floating alone on the sea.
"Boom ......"
In the woman's sharp and piercing voice, Ning Ying was only a fraction of a centimeter away from the man's fingers, and in a flash of lightning, she jumped off the deck and fell into the icy depths.
