The Outcome Will Be Even Worse.

Xu Jiaona's reaction was quite quick.

He immediately rolled on the ground, found a cover, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the gunshots came from.

Wu Zhengye was so frightened that he almost collapsed, fell to the ground, and looked around in panic.

Xia Tian didn't react at all. He still lay on the recliner, breathing steadily, as if he had fallen asleep.

"What's going on?"

There was a large spot on Wu Zhengye's pants that was wet, and he came to his senses only when he felt a little cold.

"I should be the one asking you this." Xu Jiaona frowned and said in a cold voice, "Do you know how dangerous the sea area around here is? There's not even any warning. They must have been targeted by pirates or something."

Wu Zhengye's eyes widened immediately, and he asked in disbelief: "Pirates? Are there really pirates in this world?"

"You really are a rich young man with no vision. You dare to take people out to sea without knowing anything?" Xu Jiaona said speechlessly.

"I was only invited by the Count of Carnival to attend the carnival." Wu Zhengye also crawled under a shelter and said to Xu Jiaona, "What should we do now?"

Xu Jiaona shook her head: "How should I know? I can only respond to his moves and see whether he is after money or life."

"Who, aren't you going to wake him up?" Wu Zhengye glanced at Xia Tian and found that he was still on the recliner, with almost no cover. He could be shot at any time: "Isn't his life in danger?"

"You don't need to worry about him." Xu Jiaona said calmly, "Even if everyone on Earth died, nothing would happen to him."

Wu Zhengye didn't quite believe it, but he didn't refute it. He just took out his cell phone and informed Master Sheng San and his companions that the boat was being targeted.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

A few more gunshots.

"It's a sniper rifle." Xu Jiaona glanced at the bullet holes near her and immediately determined the gun used by the enemy. "The shooting distance is at least 2,400 meters. It seems that these are definitely not ordinary pirates."

Wu Zhengye was confused: "How do you know it's over 2,400 meters?"

"There's not so many problems. Just take care of yourself." Xu Jiaona replied dissatisfiedly.

“Bang, bang!”

Two more gunshots were heard, and this time they hit Xia Tian directly on the recliner.

"Ah, he was shot. He won't die, right?" Wu Zhengye looked at Xia Tian whose body was bounced up by bullets and was frightened again.

Xu Jiaona said calmly: "He just turned over and said that he couldn't die. Someone is coming!"

Before he finished speaking, several figures were seen falling from mid-air and standing on the top deck.

There were four men and one woman in total, all dressed in relatively uniform clothes, red coats and trousers with black patterns, and they looked extremely stern.

"This cruise ship is pretty good. It looks very valuable. It's a level higher than the ones we robbed before." The beautiful woman with flaming red lips laughed, "Third, fourth, and seventh, go and bring the person in charge of this ship and all the rich people to the deck."

One of the bald strong men replied: "Reporting to the boss, I didn't see Lao Qi, maybe he hasn't arrived yet."

"What a waste." The red-lipped woman showed an impatient look on her face: "Forget it, you and Lao Si go alone. If anyone disobeys, just kill them."

"Yes, Madam." The bald man and another hairy man nodded, then strode down with their guns.

The red-lipped woman looked around and smiled: "Don't hide anymore, come out, let's have a cup of tea and have a good chat, how about that? I don't want to waste time playing hide-and-seek with you. If you don't come out, I'll kill you with a few shells."

"That's not necessary." Xu Jiaona hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up. "From what I know, you should be a mercenary. When did you start the pirate business?"

"Oh, you know me?" The red-lipped woman stared at Xu Jiaona in surprise. "But I'm a stranger to you, Pretty-Woman. Tell me, who are you?"

Xu Jiaona had no intention of hiding anything, and said directly: "I am the leader of the Eastern Group 3 of [Tianjiao]. We have dealt with each other before, but we have never met."

"Oh, I have some impression of it." The red-lipped woman showed a look of sudden realization: "So it's those flies that have been chasing me. You're going to be unlucky today. I'm quite vindictive."

"You are the one who is going to be unlucky." When Xu Jiaona said this, she couldn't help but glance at Xia Tian who was still lying down, "Your luck is really bad today. You met someone you absolutely cannot mess with."

"Who are you talking about?" The red-lipped woman followed Xu Jiaona's gaze and looked at Xia Tian, ​​then laughed: "You are talking about him. I shot him three times and he is already a dead body. Do you want to say that he is a zombie and can jump up and fight against me even after he dies?"

Xu Jiaona shook her head: "He won't die."

"Really?" The red-lipped woman sneered at Xu Jiaona's words. Without thinking, she took out an [M1917 American Smith & Wesson] and fired three more shots at Xia Tian.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Three bullet holes immediately appeared on Xia Tian's body, but he still didn't react at all.

"Is this what you mean by not dying?" The red-lipped woman laughed loudly, kicked Xia Tian's body far away, and said coldly: "You'd better cooperate obediently. I only want money. If you have money, you can live. If you don't have money, you will be shot and thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

Xu Jiaona was also feeling a little strange. According to Xia Tian's temper, if someone shot at him, he should have jumped up and killed the other person. Why didn't he react at all?

Is he really dead?

Thinking of this, Xu Jiaona shook her head again.

Even if Xia Tian was going to die, there was no way he would be killed so easily. Even more dangerous and powerful people in the past could not even get a single hair of his at all, so there was no reason for him to be hit by such a gun.

There is only one answer, Xia Tian is too lazy to care about such trivial matters.

"Does he really hate me so much that he has no intention of saving me?" Xu Jiaona felt a little unhappy. She felt that she was almost the same as Zhao Qingqing, and was even better than her in some aspects. So why couldn't she arouse Xia Tian's interest at all?

Of course, Xu Jiaona herself had no interest in Xia Tian, ​​but Xia Tian was too powerful, and there were so many benefits to being close to him that she had no way of refusing such benefits.

Xu Jiaona never thought that taking advantage of others was a bad thing.

The most tragic thing is that there is no value in use.

But she also has feelings. For example, when it comes to Zhao Qingqing, she knows how to handle it very well.

She only asked Zhao Qingqing for help and never forced Zhao Qingqing to her boat.

Once Zhao Qingqing clearly refused, she would give up and never pester him too much.

This is also the reason why Xia Tian is still tolerant of her.

After a while, the two foreign strong men came to the top floor with guns and a dozen people.

Among them were several of Wu Zhengye’s friends, but I don’t know why Mr. Sheng Sanye was not among them.

"Boss, all the rich people on the ship are here." The bald man replied respectfully, "They are all worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. Those below a billion are all stored down there."

"Same old rules." The red-lipped woman said calmly, "Those who don't have over 100 million are trash. Just skim off a layer of money and throw them into the sea to feed the fish. As for these people, I'm going to play with them slowly."

Most of those who were brought up were either rich or noble.

He is used to being bossy in normal times, and even now that he is in danger, he still can't hide his arrogance in his heart.

"Who are you? How dare you kidnap me? Do you know who I am?" A wealthy man with a big belly stood up and pointed at the red-lipped woman and started scolding her: "If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will make sure that you, a bitch, will die...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, the red-lipped woman shot him and said to the people around him, "Throw him into the sea."

When everyone saw the tycoon being thrown into the sea like a dead dog, they all shut their mouths.

"Hey, pretty boy, are you the captain of this ship?" The red-lipped woman turned her eyes to the trembling Wu Zhengye and asked, "What's your name?"

Wu Zhengye glanced at the armed men uncomfortably, and said with a dry laugh: "My name is Wu Zhengye, and my father is Wu Zhenqian, the boss of Qianjin Shipping."

"Oh, so you are the son of the Wu Ship King." The red-lipped woman's eyes lit up, and she immediately waved at him: "Come, come, sit next to me and have a drink with me."

"Okay." Wu Zhengye didn't have the inexplicable stubborn temper of the other rich second-generations. He immediately sat down next to the red-lipped woman and respectfully poured her a glass of red wine: "I don't know, what's your name, beautiful lady?"

The red-lipped woman looked up at Wu Zhengye and said with a smile, "What, you want to pick me up?"

"Ah, no, absolutely not." Wu Zhengye waved his hands quickly.

"Why, I don't have that kind of charm?" the red-lipped woman asked coldly.

Wu Zhengye shook his head repeatedly: "No, you are. Not only are you beautiful, but you are also very courageous and quite charming."

"Everyone calls me Karina, you can call me Lina." The red-lipped woman smiled and said, "Since you are so well-behaved, I can spare your life."

"Ah, thank you." Wu Zhengye breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Then can you release my friend as well?"

The red-lipped woman curled her lips and looked at Wu Zhengye with a smile, then stretched out her hand and slowly touched Wu Zhengye's face.

“Bang!”

A slap hit Wu Zhengye's face hard, sending him flying three meters and four meters away.

"Who do you think you are? Sparing your life is already a blessing for you. How dare you ask me for conditions?" The red-lipped woman turned hostile in an instant and said in a cold voice, "From the moment I boarded the ship, the lives of everyone on the ship belong to me. Only I can decide the life and death of everyone. Whoever dares to disobey will end up like him!"

The red-lipped woman pointed at Xia Tian who was already lying on the ground, and fired a few more shots.

"His end was quite miserable." At this time, a lazy voice suddenly sounded: "However, if you dare to disturb my sleep, your end will be even more miserable."
