Nevertheless, she had made her mind clear that she would do whatever would be required to get freedom. She desperately wanted!

The sun was setting down and the sky was slowly turned dark with the full moon in the sky with the stars around it.

The s.h.i.+p was making its way back to the place from where it has come from. The waves of the sea were splas.h.i.+ng on the keel part of the s.h.i.+p with the sound of a 'Clas.h.!.+' as if it wanted to stop the s.h.i.+p, but the s.h.i.+p was making its way with the determination that it would reach its destination by the time the sun was ready to rise again.

However, now a long night had yet to pa.s.s by. So there was no hurry.

Everyone called off the day and went back to their rooms and slept with much more relief.

As the night pa.s.sed, the little bit of uneasiness in their hearts vanished away as now only two hours were left and then…

They would be declared as being braver of this mission who had made it out alive. Although they had done many missions, this mission was very difficult because they had threatened their lives not only from the enemy's side but also from their team member's side. Moreover, after this mission, they would gain a new high position which would bring them close to the position of Big Boss.

However, they didn't know that this was a part where they had really made a mistake by letting their guard down because Liu Juan had taken advantage of this mistake and decided to execute her plan which she had made in the last nineteen days.

When everyone was dozing off in a deep sleep, at that moment, the lights of the s.h.i.+p went off. Complete darkness was engulfed in the entire s.h.i.+p. It was night time around 3 to 4 AM, everyone was sleeping. Only a few crew members were still awake who only knew how to operate the s.h.i.+p effectively.

"Hey, what happened to these lights?" One of the crew members asked. They knew that there were many men and women who were dying, but no one was audacious enough to mess with the operation of the s.h.i.+p as it was the last thing which they had dared to do.

"Quickly, take a look at these lights otherwise this s.h.i.+p will stop here! We are about to reach our destination, we can't let this s.h.i.+p stop here!" Another crew member commanded.

"Okay!"

The two crew members made their way to the electric room where the electrical panel boards were placed with the torches in their hands.

But then…

Suddenly…

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

The crew heard the sound of gunshots ring throughout the interior of the s.h.i.+p.

And in the next two minutes, the lights were back on. 

The crew members didn't panic and just shrugged their shoulders and turned back to the operating room as they felt that now there was no need to go to the electric room. With that problem solved he just nonchalantly went back. 

"These people will never stop. Is it honestly necessary to kill their own team?" One of the crew members commented.

"If they stop then they should have died by now!" Another crew member said.

****

Next Morning.

Not everyone knew what had happened and who had died. They heard the whistle of the s.h.i.+p as the indication that the s.h.i.+p had reached its destination!

The team members who were still alive cheered up for their successful victory! They also cheered as they were able to make it back home safely.

As now, they could finally sigh in relief as a load had been lifted from their chest!

They made it!

However, there was one person who seemed to be not happy as he felt that it was not his victory because the people he wanted to die had not died yet.

Bo Xiao left his room with a grumpy expression on his face with the support of his trustworthy men on either side of him as he couldn't talk properly because of the injury on his leg. Aside from the pain, it caused him to hindered his mobility by a lot during this period.

As soon as he left the room, he saw Liu Juan who was making her way outside. Bo Xiao's face immediately turned more ugly as he thought that Liu Juan still had the cheek to head out with her head high as if she really thought that it was her victory! Could she seriously be that sn.o.bbish?

He pulled a hand out to help her despite being injured so badly, but she rejected it by saying that she would handle it. So this was a way for her to handle things????

Bo Xiao was feeling so angry that his veins could be seen on his forehead. However, in the next moment, his anger was subdued when he saw that two dead bodies were taken out from the adjacent room.

Adjacent room?

What did it have to do with him?

Well, the adjacent room belonged to those brothers.

That meant, both the brothers were killed.

When???

How????

Like…. Bo Xiao didn't notice anything amiss last night. These brothers were staying in the room beside his. So how could he not hear anything???

Well, because he was also included in those team members who had completely let down their guard and dozed off in a deep sleep!

Whatever be it, now he felt more at ease about everything.

Liu Juan had done the thing which she had promised to him.

Right?

Well….

Perhaps not...
