Chapter 677.2
The figure reached out, seemingly trying to drag the man into the sea.
Ignoring his fear, Ji Nansheng rushed forward and grabbed the man’s arm, using all his strength to pull him back onto the deck.
The humanoid figure surged forward and pounced in front of Ji Nansheng and the man. The human figure transformed into a giant head, which silently screamed in anger at them before turning and disappearing into the fog.
The man, having narrowly escaped death, pointed at the spot where the figure vanished, his face pale. “It’s a siren… it’s a siren!”
Ji Nansheng, who was still sitting on top of the man, grabbed his collar and yelled angrily, “What siren? Then why did you shout Sofia’s name just now? What exactly did you and your brother do to her?”
The man, frightened by Ji Nansheng, still tried to argue, “I already told you everything. That’s it. It’s just like that.”
Seeing the man being stubborn, Ji Nansheng’s last bit of patience disappeared. He grabbed the man by the collar and, under the man’s terrified eyes, dragged him to the railing and pressed him over the edge.
Half of the man’s body hung over the railing and he waved his arms in fear, screaming hysterically, “Let me down! You bastard, let me down! This is murder! Murder!”
Ji Nansheng said in a stern voice, “Tell me the truth, or I’ll kill you!”
Perhaps scared by Ji Nansheng’s fierceness, the man begged, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk, just please let me down.”
Ji Nansheng pulled the man back onto the deck and dragged him to the stairwell. “Start talking.”
The man, still gasping for air after his narrow escape, stammered, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”
As he watched the man tremble in fear, two words flashed in Ji Nansheng’s mind: ‘So satisfying.’
It turns out NPCs are afraid of the strong and bully the weak. No wonder that lion was scared of Dijia. This must be the benefit of being intimidating.
He needed to practice more. Dijia’s domineering aura was something he could learn for a lifetime.
From that moment, Ji Nansheng felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
Imitating Dijia’s expression, Ji Nansheng put on a cold face. “Talk.”
The man’s eyes darted around. “Actually… actually, it was my brother who raped Sofia.”
Ji Nansheng said coldly, “it looks like you really want to be thrown into the sea.”
“No, no, no,” the man quickly waved his hands, “I’m telling the truth, I swear.”
“Three years after I married Sofia, we still didn’t have any children. I went for a check-up, and the doctor told me I was infertile.”
“But as the head of the family, I would be ridiculed if I didn’t have an heir. So, I called my brother and discussed a plan with him.”
“I would drug Sofia and then switch places with my brother so that Sofia would get pregnant. After all, he’s my brother, our blood is the same, and I could treat his child as my own heir.”
“I promised my brother a large sum of money. He was always idle, and knowing that his child would be the heir, he gladly agreed.”
“We both thought it was a perfect plan.”
“At first, everything went smoothly. I put a large dose of sleeping pills in Sofia’s milk, and she became drowsy.”
“But one time, maybe Sofia had developed a resistance to the drugs, or maybe my brother was too rough. She woke up halfway through and screamed when she saw him. I rushed into the room when I heard the commotion.”
“Sofia is a smart woman. The moment she saw me, she figured out what was happening.”
“After being exposed, my brother didn’t bother to hide it anymore. Sometimes, he would even rape Sofia without my permission.”
“Sofia resisted at first, but after a few lessons, she gave in and accepted everything.”
Ji Nansheng sneered, “Accepted it?”
“Uh,” the man lowered his head awkwardly, “In any case, everything went smoothly after that. After half a year of trying, Sofia finally got pregnant. She seemed very calm at the time, and I really thought she had accepted it. Until yesterday, when she jumped off the deck with the baby in her belly.”
“Actually, I saw it happen. My brother didn’t jump into the sea by himself, Sofia pushed him. And right after, she followed him into the water.”
Ji Nansheng asked, “Why didn’t you try to save them?”
The man’s face turned red. “I was too shocked. By the time I reacted, Sofia had already jumped. I just pretended I didn’t know anything.”
Ji Nansheng said mockingly, “And then you played the role of the devoted husband and caring brother, pretending to look for your wife and brother.”
The man nodded. “Yes.”
Ji Nansheng: “That’s completely different from the story you told before. You’re pretty slick, blaming everything on Sofia after her death. Why didn’t she take you with her when she died?”
In the live broadcast room, the barrage was unusually lively.
[What’s going on with Nansheng today? He’s so fierce. Did he change his style?]
[Did something happen to him?]
[Honestly, I kind of like this side of Nansheng. It’s refreshing.]
[Normally, he’s cautious, but today he’s going wild.]
[So this is the real truth. Poor Sofia, humiliated in life and slandered after death.]
[Isn’t this ship a ghost ship? Doesn’t that mean all the passengers are dead? This man isn’t an exception. I guess he got what he deserved.]
Ji Nansheng: ‘Fierce?’
Of course, he was fierce.
Ever since he saw Dijia intimidate that fierce lion with just a look, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
It was too cool!
He wanted to be like that too.
Even though Ji Nansheng had uncovered the truth, he still didn’t have any leads.
The system still hadn’t given him any tasks or hints.
So he had no choice but to let the man go for now. After reuniting with the other three, he told them everything that had happened.
The three sighed after hearing the story and looked at the man with contempt.
Ashamed, the man lowered his head and walked away, not wanting to stay near the four of them any longer.
During lunch, the Count and Countess finally appeared in the lavish dining room.
The luxurious dining room had round tables set all around, and the Count and Countess sat at the head table, with only the two of them at the table.
Ji Nansheng quietly observed the Countess and noticed faint red marks around her neck.
The Countess was dressed very conservatively today.
She wore a beige two-piece suit, the modest design covering her neck down to her wrists, and the skirt extending to her calves.
The Countess appeared a bit haggard, with dark circles under her eyes, and her lips were slightly chapped.
The Count didn’t look too well either. Whether they had just had an argument or not was unclear, but he silently cut the steak in front of him and placed piece after piece onto the Countess’s plate. Before long, her plate was piled high with food.
The Countess’s expression became even worse.
Her pale face lifted as she looked at the Count with grievance, then at the food in front of her.
She picked up a piece of steak and put it in her mouth.
After chewing just a couple of bites, the Countess suddenly grabbed a napkin to cover her mouth and spit the food out, looking sickly.
One of the girls said, “Could the Countess be pregnant?”
However, the Count acted as if he didn’t see the Countess’s vomiting. He pointed at the food in front of her and said something unknown.
The Countess’s face turned even paler, but she still picked up another piece of meat and put it in her mouth.
Just like before, after chewing only a few bites, she spat it out again, showing a look of disgust.
The Count’s expression darkened and he forcefully pulled the Countess up and dragged her out of the dining room.
The NPCs continued to eat with gusto, seemingly unaware of the tension between the Count and Countess.
The group exchanged glances and immediately left the dining room, quietly following behind the Count and Countess.
With his cane, the Count moved quickly despite being over sixty, completely ignoring the stumbling woman behind him.
As she walked, the woman pleaded, “Count, you’re hurting me.”
The Count dragged the Countess for a long distance before finally flinging her against the corridor wall, causing a loud thud as her back hit the surface.
The Countess cried out in pain and instinctively covered her stomach.
Seeing this, the Count yelled angrily, “Where were you last night? Why weren’t you in the room?”
The Countess was on the verge of tears, “I was in the room next door. I didn’t go anywhere. You know I suffer from insomnia, and I wake up easily at the slightest noise. I was afraid I would be disturbed when you returned, so I slept in the next room.”
Suddenly, the Count grabbed the Countess’s collar and yanked it hard, revealing her neck and collarbone. Her skin was covered in ambiguous red marks. “And how do you explain these?! You whore, who were you with the past two nights?”
Ji Nansheng’s head throbbed.
Wasn’t it Dijia who came out of the room next door last night?
