Ou Yuze was staring at the face above, overwhelmed by a storm of emotions, when he suddenly heard the woman beside him shouting loudly. Without a second thought, he pointed the gun at her, "Shut up! Do you believe I’ll blow you away right now?"
No one dared to speak anymore, and in that instant, silence once again descended over the deck.
Ye Ning continued to watch calmly from above. From the look in this man’s eyes and his utterly astonished expression, she knew he had realized something. But she didn’t expose him. Instead, she just kept her hands in her trench coat pockets, watching him indifferently to see how he would react next.
Yes, it had been five years, five years since he had sent her to jail with his own hands, and now five years later, it was the first time she was talking to him face to face.
Amidst the roaring waves crashing below them, the man fell silent for about a minute before finally speaking from the gangway, "When did this happen?"
"Are you asking about how I got here, or about leaving that place?"
"Leaving that place!"
"That was several years ago. Didn’t you know? I was already pregnant when I was sentenced!"
"What did you say? Pregnant?"
The man’s face was full of shock. "Why would you be pregnant? Who’s the father?"
He pressed on, relentlessly asking several questions!
Ye Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly. The words that were about to leave her lips suddenly got swallowed back down.
He actually didn’t know about this?
It seemed that it was Yang Xueshan, that despicable woman, who was behind this all along. She had claimed it was him who had arranged for them to go to a hotel but it was all her deception to completely disqualify her from being with him, only to trick her into going.
Ye Ning cursed bitterly in her heart and looked expressionlessly away, "It’s nothing, just some tricks by Yang Xueshan, that despicable woman, to win you over."
He continued to lie there, his face changing several times before he finally calmed down, "I didn’t know about this; I never did that."
Ye Ning remained noncommittal, "Whether you did it or not doesn’t matter anymore. These things aren’t important. What’s important is that because of that child, I could finally serve my sentence outside of prison. And at last, I got the opportunity to seek revenge on you, Ou Yuze. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
There was a long pause before he asked again, "Then who is the person in the prison? I had someone check, and you were still there."
Ye Ning sneered, "Of course, that was my body double. Ou Yuze, have you become so foolish that you couldn’t even figure this out?"
He looked up at her, seeing that face which, apart from her eyes, had nothing in common with her former self. Suddenly, a surge of anger rose from deep within him, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you right now? You’re a fugitive!"
Ye Ning laughed until tears fell, "Are you really that naïve or just playing dumb? Do you think I would brazenly come looking for you, telling you all this if I were afraid of that?"
"Let me tell you the truth. Yang Xueshan has already given me the evidence, including how you framed me, the hired assassination, and the embezzlement of corporate funds for private affairs within Ou Corporations. She gave me everything, Ou Yuze. Didn’t expect that, did you? While you were plotting against others, they were plotting against you. That’s retribution!"
