sincerity of lies

It was quiet in the cabin.

Outside a square window, hung a tattered man. His clothes were torn, his body was full of wounds, his flesh was torn, and the rain was mixed with blood. If he hadn't moved his head reluctantly, it would have looked like a painting of death framed by a window frame.

But it was because he moved.

So the painting of death becomes a painting of horror.

This kind of tragic scene caused by being tortured by others, just watching from a distance, makes people feel the trembling rising from the bottom of their hearts.

The bodyguards looked at Ji Xun, and the bosses looked at Ji Xun.

In the crowd, Huo Ranyin and Meng Lingshan also looked at Ji Xun.

Huo Ranyin watched helplessly as Ji Xun fell from his eyes and fell into the sea. As soon as the opponent's bruised body fell into the sea, it shook violently.

pain.

The salt of the sea water, falling on the wound, must be like the bite of a school of fish.

No one saw it, even Huo Ranyin himself didn't notice it. Thin pimples appeared on his arms under his clothes, and they were red like allergies. This was the most intuitive manifestation of Ji Xun's pain on his body.

He blinked suddenly.

Suddenly, the scene outside the window changed.

A little distorted and rough.

The fuzzy particles swayed in Huo Ranyin's sight. Is it a problem with the eyes?He blinked repeatedly, but the mottled fine dots still swayed irregularly in Huo Ranyin's sight.

Huo Ranyin raised his hand and glanced away from the dark scene outside the window. He seemed to see the densely flying dots on his hand.

Dry, dark.

Spots of blood emerged from Ji Xun's body.

Mr. Liu will not kill Ji Xun.

They all have such judgments.

Mr. Liu would only torture Ji Xun endlessly, making Ji Xun crazy, or making them who were watching crazy.

Huo Ranyin looked out the window again.

The window is a cage, and the person locked in the cage is submerged into the sea, then hoisted, and submerged again. The suffocation and despair are infinitely prolonged during this short breath, and his body is still in the sea. Blood flowed continuously.

His blood will be shed.

To be shed for others.

The blood spots on his hands began to drill into his skin, his hands were stained red, stained red by Ji Xun's blood.

Mr. Liu is the culprit, he is the accomplice——

Huo Ranyin suddenly left from the crowd.

Meng Lingshan followed silently.

They came to the cabin on the other side under the deck one after another.

Huo Ranyin opened the window and looked down at the sea.

Meng Lingshan watched Huo Ranyin's actions silently, and suddenly said: "Is it enough time for Ji Xun to come out? You actually plan to jump into the sea to save him right now."

"Otherwise?" Huo Ranyin said, "Ji Xun is waiting for me."

"Make it clear, Ji Xun's willingness to be tortured is not to create impulsive opportunities for you. The wind is strong and the waves are high. You don't have any equipment. How can you jump to pick Ji Xun up? With your life?" Meng Lingshan frowned, "Then what do you ask the rescued Ji Xun to do? You can't get out after three years of decadent self-blame?"

Huo Ranyin looked back at Meng Lingshan.

"Ji Xun is waiting for me." He repeated, "I can't go too late, otherwise he will complain."

"...Ji Xun created for us a chance to win without sacrifice." Meng Lingshan endured the inappropriate conversation with Huo Ranyin, "We go up, we have a chance."

"I think what you're talking about is a sneak attack on Mr. Liu. We do have a chance, but once we go up, Mr. Liu has no reason to keep Ji Xun—if we succeed in controlling the situation, everyone will be happy. If we don't, Why did Mr. Liu's men just throw the chained things into the sea?" Huo Ranyin asked flatly.

Chained.

Drop heavy objects into the sea.

Then Ji Xun was dead.

In this matter, Huo Ranyin could not bear any risk.

He stared back at the sea again: "I'll go down... Don't worry, I will definitely bring Ji Xun back. And you must stay here and meet Ji Xun. Then, wait patiently."

His eyes quickly touched the watch, and then returned to the surface of the sea.

"Mr. Liu doesn't have much time, the police will be here soon. Keep safe and wait patiently. Protecting the hostages doesn't belong to you, nor does it belong to Ji Xun, it belongs to the police—only me."

Huo Ranyin looked back at Meng Lingshan:

"Don't go overboard."

"It's so loud." Meng Lingshan sneered, "It seems that only you can jump down and save Ji Xun."

"I'm a policeman." Huo Ranyin said.

"Me too."

"It used to be."

"It used to be—and this is what Ji Xun owed me." Meng Lingshan said coldly.

Huo Ranyin finally frowned.

"You don't know anything, but you want to control everything. You think too much of yourself. Ji Xun is already conceited enough, and your arrogance is even more annoying than Ji Xun." Meng Lingshan was merciless, "Get out of the way, I'm going to fish him up, I brought him up, and I'll bring him back."

Huo Ranyin looked at the sea again, and then he looked at Meng Lingshan.

The waves are so rough that whoever goes down will face death.

"Why are you arguing with me?" Huo Ranyin asked, "You don't believe that I can save Ji Xun?"

"Sorry, it's not that I don't believe you." Meng Lingshan said, "I only believe in myself. I will save Ji Xun, and I have something to tell him. And you, stay here and take care of us."

Without the third sentence, the two drew their guns at the same time and pointed their guns at each other.

However, only a second passed.

Huo Ranyin took a deep breath: "Withdraw the gun."

Meng Lingshan: "At the same time."

one two Three……

They recited three numbers silently in their hearts, and without any delay, they put down their guns at the same time.

Ji Xun is still in Mr. Liu's hands. If they start fighting among themselves at this time, Mr. Liu might laugh out loud.

calm down.

Huo Ranyin pinched his palm, a trace of blood seeped from between his fingers.

calm down.Convince Meng Lingshan.

Only by persuading Meng Lingshan can he go down to rescue Ji Xun without hesitation and stop wasting time here.

Meng Lingshan was also anxious, Meng Lingshan showed his flaws, he blurted out, "Ji Xun owes him"...

Is it Jiyu?

No, Meng Lingshan loves Ji Yu deeply, and what he has done for Ji Yu definitely does not constitute the so-called 'Ji Xun owes him'.

Ji Xun once said that he left him because he was threatened by Meng Lingshan...

"You threatened Ji Xun with the matter that Ji Xun owed you." Huo Ranyin said, "I had someone check you, and you were fired by the police station because you stayed in Malaysia far beyond the leave approval period. Stranded in Malaysia?"

He saw a trace of surprise in Meng Lingshan's eyes.

Huo Ranyin sneered.

He looked down on Meng Lingshan, and Meng Lingshan looked down on him.

It makes sense for them to look at each other with distaste.

He closes his eyes.Next to the ear is Ji Xun's voice.Ji Xun's voice kept echoing in his ears, disturbing his thinking and making him unable to concentrate at all.

He obviously hated Meng Lingshan very much, so he could only seek Meng Lingshan's help at this time: "Ji Xun is still screaming, did you hear what he said? He is too weak, I can't hear clearly."

"What did you say?" Meng Lingshan frowned, even more distrustful, "Except for the part of the speaker on the deck, there was no Ji Xun's voice at all. Ji Xun can't just yell for nothing, he just conserves his strength and perseveres. you……"

Huo Ranyin didn't want to hear Meng Lingshan's next words.

He found an anchor of reason in the chaos: "An Jie, Ji Yu's boyfriend. He disappeared shortly after Ji Yu's case came out. The last thing he could trace was to go to Malaysia. You are in Malaysia, Ji Xun In Malaysia, An Jie was also in Malaysia. Then An Jie disappeared, you were dismissed by the police, Ji Xun..."

"Ji Xun..." Huo Ranyin, "killed An Jie?"

"'Ji Xun killed An Jie'." Meng Lingshan repeated, "So, now you go down and bet your life to save a murderer?"

"I suspected him of murder in Ji Yu's case." Huo Ranyin said coldly, "And I have already saved him."

"..."

"Now it's just another Yasuke. Doubt does not represent the truth. I will find out what the truth is."

They looked at each other for a few seconds.

Meng Lingshan turned his gaze away.Then he spoke quickly:

"Ji Xun didn't kill anyone. Ji Xun left me to find An Jie alone. I was worried about Ji Xun, so I chased after him. On the beach in Malay, I saw the scene where Ji Xun hit An Jie, but in the end Ji Xun didn't really Hands-on—at the moment of the most resentful and the most broken, he chose to let An Jie go. Then he bought wine every day in Malaysia, drunk like mud, and later, An Jie died. When I saw them, Ji Xun Still drunk, the knife he was carrying was held in the hands of the dead An Jie—obviously, someone framed Ji Xun."

All of a sudden, Huo Ranyin understood the general situation afterwards.

Meng Lingshan moved the drunken Ji Xun away from the crime scene, erasing some traces left by Ji Xun.

However, perhaps because of some misfortune, his actions at the scene of the crime were seen by the locals.He was involved in An Jie's death case, and he might even be detained by the Malay police, so he had to stay in Malaysia and delay his return time...he was cleared by the police station.

"Has the case been solved?"

"Black people eat black people." Meng Lingshan said, "An Jie came to Malaysia to look for a snake head to smuggle him into a new identity, and the snake head ate An Jie."

"Does Ji Xun know about this?" Huo Ranyin couldn't understand.

"Later, when I returned to China, I went to find Ji Xun. Ji Xun had already left the police force."

Meng Lingshan still didn't say much.

But a few words are enough for Huo Ranyin to complete the situation.

Meng Lingshan caught a glimpse of the shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes, but had to leave the police force due to time delay. He came to Ji Xun again, of course he wanted to tell Ji Xun about this matter, and he also wanted Ji Xun to give him a hand in the police force. Help, they investigate the case together.

This is related to Ji Yu, and it is also related to Ji Xun, a case manipulated by others.

But when Meng Lingshan found him, Ji Xun had already left the police force.

Ji Xun left by himself.

He didn't realize what was wrong with him then...he should have noticed right away.

He's just...just in the case of his sister, completely broken.

Afterwards, Meng Lingshan investigated alone until now.

"You haven't told Ji Xun about Malay," Huo Ranyin said, "but now you let Ji Xun board this ship."

"Because I have no one else to trust, I have gone too far." Meng Lingshan said lightly, "Although Ji Xun has changed, he has turned back and become that reliable companion..."

"Ji Xun hasn't changed."

Facing Meng Lingshan's gaze, Huo Ranyin repeated.

"Ji Xun hasn't changed, he just lost his way and needs someone to bring him back. But I can, only I can. We are fellow travelers, the way of life and the way of death are the same."

Huo Ranyin whispered.

Meng Lingshan had nothing to say.

This time, he didn't object anymore.

"Bring Ji Xun back. If I can't tell you, you can tell Ji Xun these things."

He chose to believe in Huo Ranyin.

Ji Xun was groggy.

Under the repeated stimulation, the brain inevitably became dull, and the pain was still tormenting his nerves, but at this time he expected the pain to be more intense, otherwise...

Ji Xun used the countdown to concentrate.

According to the previous rule, they would pull him up from the sea in about 1 minute, and then put him back in the sea within ten seconds.

But as time went on, the time to put it in the sea became longer and the time to pull it out became shorter.

It seems that they have become more and more impatient... wanting to make the sea his final destination.

1 minute and [-] seconds.

The chain goes up again.

But this time there was an accident, a big wave hit, Ji Xun tried his best to raise his head - it was useless, he didn't breathe any fresh air, and he was put down again.

The air stored in the body has been exhausted in the past 1 minute.

The pain in the chest reached a certain limit, but began to blur, turning into a dry emptiness.

In the emptiness, consciousness seems to have grown a pair of wings, flying higher and higher, becoming more and more ethereal...

Until he was in a blur, and suddenly saw a shadow approaching him repeatedly among the waves.

The waves are always competing with the shadow, and are shooting the shadow into the distance.

Every time it advances a little, it is pushed away again, and it advances a little bit, and it is pushed away again.

The distance between him and the shadow was so far that it seemed that he could never get close... But the distance that seemed to never get close was conquered by the shadow in another minute.

The shadow surrounded him and blew air into his mouth forcefully.

The blurry fog in front of his eyes lifted slightly, and he saw a face.

His sight was not very clear, but the face clearly appeared again.

Because it has been remembered in my heart long ago, the brain automatically completes all the details one by one as soon as I see the outline.

The vision was restored, and so was the perception of the body.

The opponent's body was pressed against his body, and their heartbeats moved from two distinct paths all the way to the middle position, and then merged into one.

Ji Xun tugged at the corners of his mouth, showing a vague smile.He felt that the other's hand had reached his wrist, and he also raised his fingertips and shook them vigorously.

The hand pauses.

So Ji Xun knew - Huo Ranyin had already discovered the wire caught between his fingertips and the open lock.

and so.

It's a bit miserable, but not that bad.

The smile on the corner of his mouth became a little smug.

The chains of the hands were unchained, as were the belly and the feet.

Huo Ranyin just reached out to pull the chains wrapped around Ji Xun's abdomen, when a gleam of light suddenly shot through the dark sea water.

This time, Ji Xun really saw Huo Ranyin's face clearly.

The familiar face, the face that he traced in his heart, brought him as much comfort as he imagined, and far beyond his imagination.

But why is there light?

Is the wind and rain subsided and the clouds dissipated?

No, it's not.

He turned his head with difficulty, and saw a ship appearing in the distance of the sea.

Is that a police boat?

But at least the vanguard of the police should take a helicopter.

So--

The chains tied to his body tightened in an instant, and Ji Xun was pulled out of the sea again. The last thing he felt was Huo Ranyin's fingers stretched out to him in a panic. The fingers brushed across his cheeks, like a wave jumping in the dark deep sea. The rainbow, with brilliant brilliance and joyful heat, dispelled all the pain and exhaustion in his body.

He was dragged back onto the deck and lay wet among the bodyguards. One of the bodyguards pointed a gun at him.

He looked at Mr. Liu and instructed Ah Bang to light a distress signal to the ship that suddenly appeared in the distance.
