Chapter 384: Chapter 384: But I Still Think He’s Not Dead
"Then why do you think he might be dead?"
Bai Haoxue said, "From his words, it’s obvious that he wants to make your life a living hell. He has a grudge against you.
But if he’s not dead, why did he suddenly stop looking for you?
Since he hates you, and you’re still alive and well, if he wasn’t dead, he should continue to seek revenge on you, continue to hurt you!
But he hasn’t shown up. These past few years, your life has been quite peaceful, with only business disputes."
Ji Hanyu nodded, "Indeed, that makes sense, but I still think he isn’t dead."
"Why?"
Ji Hanyu said, "Such a luxurious ship isn’t something everyone can get their hands on.
Moreover, he was very confident that your father wouldn’t die from the injury, because he was the one who fired the shot. Someone who can calculate the severity of a gunshot wound, even whether it’s fatal or not, such a person means his marksmanship is extraordinary.
When I shot at him, he was agile and moved swiftly, only getting a slight wound on his arm, and he was able to dodge my bullet."
"We were all tricked into boarding that ship." Ji Hanyu raised an eyebrow at Bai Haoxue, "Do you think a person like him would be unprepared? Would he die in his own plan?"
"Hmm!" Bai Haoxue nodded, "What you say makes more sense.
But if he isn’t dead, why hasn’t he come looking for you all these years?"
"Ah..." Suddenly, Bai Haoxue exclaimed.
"What’s wrong?" Ji Hanyu looked at the startled girl with amusement; he just loved her vibrant nature.
"Could it be that he just wants me dead? His goal is to see me dead.
He thought I was dead, so he didn’t come looking for you?"
"NO..." Before Ji Hanyu could say anything, Bai Haoxue denied it herself, "No, no, I, unlike you, don’t have so many enemies, and I don’t know anyone that powerful."
Her social circle had been simple since childhood; aside from Ji Hanyu, the people she knew were all very normal and ordinary.
That person, at first glance, was no ordinary person!
Who exactly is that person?
"Alright, alright, let’s sleep and stop thinking about it." Ji Hanyu let her rest on his arm, "When we get back, I’ll look into it properly."
Bai Haoxue turned over to help Ji Hanyu adjust his position, "Don’t sleep like that; you have a back injury. Sleep on your side.
It might not be easy to investigate. That person’s face back then must have been fake. Since he was so mysterious, he definitely wouldn’t show his true face."
Ji Hanyu nodded, "But the birds leave traces; there will always be clues."
Extending his arms for a hug, Ji Hanyu said, "Come into my arms quickly; I’m a bit sleepy."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
So, am I a sleeping pill?
Despite her complaints, Bai Haoxue lay down and snuggled into Ji Hanyu’s arms, carefully avoiding the wound on his back.
In the small cabin, by the firelight, the two embraced and soon fell asleep.
When the outside world started to lighten, Bai Haoxue woke up.
Probably due to his wounds, Ji Hanyu was still in deep sleep, showing no sign of waking up.
Bai Haoxue kissed Ji Hanyu’s forehead and gently got up.
His wound needed medicine, or it would become inflamed and fester, and he had a bit of a fever.
Last night was too dark; there was no way to go out.
Now, she must go out to find some herbs to apply temporarily...
