Chapter 282 - He Yan
Chapter 282: He Yan
Hearing that, Mo Li realized they had been made use of. Judging from Dong Yun’s incident, Flower Appraisal must have been determined to get rid of these people on the cruise. However, they didn’t want to do it themselves so they borrowed Mo Li and Quan Yu’s hands.
Mo Xiao was indeed captured onto the ship and that was the bait to lure Mo Li onto the boat. But what was Flower Appraisal’s goal?
The only motive Mo Li could think of was money. Mo Xiao was collecting funds for a movie and the ship was filled with rich people. However, why would an international crime organization need that much money?
Quan Yu also just realized the truth when he reached the 9th floor. He also realized He Yan’s role in the whole thing. He Yan offered Flower Appraisal the opportunity to use the Sea of Goddess, while Flower Appraisal helped him take revenge.
Earlier, Mo Li also heard from the men how He Yan was slowly forced into this state. When He Yen debuted in his sophomore years, he was an innocent man. However, he was immediately targeted by a rich man. He Yan didn’t want to bow to the man’s demands. However, he was no match for the powerful rich man. The rich man was connected to Huan Yu’s president and trapped He Yan’s little sister in a heavy loan, causing her to be a prostitute to pay the debt. He Yan was also threatened by the man with his parents’ lives. In the end, He Yan caved and he sank deeper and deeper into this quicksand of sin.
“Ah Zhong, how’s the situation outside?” Quan Yu asked. He had a feeling something was wrong.
“I knocked out a few crewmates on the way but I didn’t see any of the rich businessmen and politicians. Furthermore, the doors to the top floor are left open. This is very strange.” Theoretically speaking, it should be chaos on the ship but it was strangely quiet.
At that moment, there was a loud boom from the bottom of the ship and it started to sway.
“Young master! They have detonated the explosives at the bottom of the ship.”
Mo Li was puzzled. What exactly is this ship? How does it happen to have everything?
“There are many illegal activities conducted on this ship. This must be their fail-safe plan. After the ship is sunk, all the evidence will be lost. Those bastards must be running towards the top floor as we speak.”
Mo Li said, “But they have to know there is no way to escape this time. Will Flower Appraisal really let them go?”
Since Flower Appraisal had planned everything, the group would have considered this as well.
“Young master, we need to leave. This ship can’t hold on much longer!” Ah Si’s voice came from the earphone. He had just dealt with the traitor within their group and the ship had started to leak.
“Shouldn’t you know better than to stop while you’re making an escape?” He Yan’s cold voice sounded behind them. He pulled out a gun.
Quan Yu studied the two men behind He Yan and then shared a look with Mo Li.
“Do you even know how to use a gun?” Quan Yu growled as he kicked at He Yan’s hand. Quan Yu grabbed the gun that flew out and shot at the man behind He Yan. Mo Li slid over and injected the other man with sedatives.
“Mo Li! Do you not know there’s a flower around you? He has done nothing despite the dire situation that you and your brother are in!”
“What do you mean?”
“Young Master Quan should know what I mean. I found out this interesting tidbit when I was investigating you. It wouldn’t surprise me if Young Master Quan found the same thing.”
Quan Yu kicked the man down. “He Yan, it’s too late now. If you…” Mo Li pulled him back before he could finish, “Be careful, he has a detonator in his hand!”
He Yan pressed on the button and there was another explosion. He Yan stood up. “Ha… ha. Let’s all go to hell. But there’s a helicopter waiting for me… I’ll be the only survivor…”
He Yan crawled up the steps to the top floor. Flower Appraisal promised to send him a helicopter to save him. They would give him a new life. “I am…” He Yan looked at the empty landing pad and his eyes filled with despair. “Where’s the helicopter? Didn’t you promise me a helicopter? Liars! All liars! Haha haha, I should know better…” He Yan swayed. He laughed and coughed violently.
He looked at his hands. He knew they couldn’t be cleaned anymore. However, he also didn’t have the courage to face the trial in the afterlife.
