Chapter 205:
Urgent footsteps came from the next room.
Soon, the other two also hurried over, one of them even had his trousers loosely hanging, but each held a cleaver in hand.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw their companion who had fallen dead on the ground, greatly shocked, they picked up their cleavers and charged at Xie Wanning.
Such danger had only been experienced that night at the Hot Spring Villa.
But at that time Ming Jian had fought to the death with her, whereas now, there was no one beside her.
Xie Wanning was terrifyingly calm; in the silent night, the sounds of fighting were so loud, yet no one had come to check for a long time, which showed that no one on this passenger ship would come to uphold justice.
If these people didn’t have cleavers in their hands, she might still have a chance to fight, but both men held cleavers half a person’s length, and before she could get close, she would probably be hacked to death by random blades.
In the chaos, Xie Wanning was forced to the window.
For safety, on this two-story passenger ship, she had booked a guest room on the second floor; the guests on the same floor were mostly of some means, who would have thought they would still be targeted as lambs just because they were lone women.
Fortunately, the windows of the second floor rooms were very large, enough for an adult to jump out.
In the instant that the unavoidable cleaver swung down, Xie Wanning unhesitatingly flipped over and leaped down from the window.
The three men rushed to the window.
Under the night, the dark and gloomy lake surface was peaceful, as if it could swallow all things in the world.
Not to mention just a weak woman, even a young and strong youth falling in would be certain death.
The few felt aftershock fear, cursed a few times, sat on the ground with cold sweat streaming.
This old woman who appeared to have no strength to truss a chicken had actually made them lose a companion; if not for their weapons, tonight they might have capsized in the sewer.
Panting roughly to calm down a few times, the aftershock fear not yet subsided, their gazes all fell on those pieces of jewelry on the couch, and they lit up one after another.
This haul was not a loss.
While they were cursing, Xie Wanning had already reached the next room.
When boarding the ship, she had noticed that below the windows of the second floor guest rooms, there was a dangling iron chain stretching across the ship’s body, unknown for what purpose.
Traveling alone outside, she was extremely cautious; on the first day moving into this room, she had even tried tugging it and found it quite sturdy, and had once worried that thieves might climb in through the window at night along this iron chain.
Unexpectedly, it became her chance for escape.
In the instant of jumping from the window, Xie Wanning had gripped that iron chain tightly, clinging to the ship’s body; after those few withdrew their gazes, she climbed into the window of the adjacent side room separated only by the first floor wooden wall.
A young lady who could handle warhorses still had this much reaction ability.
But after climbing into the room, before she could rejoice at escaping death, she was stunned by the horrific scene before her.
Two naked female bodies lay sprawled on the ground, covered in bruises and strangulation marks all over, blood flowing from mouths and noses, eyes wide open, as if witnessing the ugliest evil in the world.
The young lady’s legs weren’t even closed, with blood seeping from beneath her.
Xie Wanning stood rigid in place, staring at this scene, unable to recover for a long time.
Sounds came from next door; those people seemed to be rummaging through her luggage, trying to scavenge to see if there was more to gain.
This sound reminded Xie Wanning that when those people finished scavenging and left the second floor, they would have to pass by this mother and daughter’s room; though the most dangerous place is the safest, at this moment this door was open, so as long as they passed by, they could see everything inside at a glance.
She had to find a place to hide.
