40.Chapter 40(1/2)
The other party said that this scene was like a slow motion in the movie. The smoke, firelight, the salty and fishy wind and the roaring waves in the distance, all turned into a sticky and solidified background.
There was only the black muzzle in his eyes, aiming directly at him.
Did retribution come so soon?
——But I'm dead, what do you do?
Fang Jin knew clearly that if he died at this time, Gu Yuan would be really finished. Gu Mingzong was on the way to come, and he would not let Gu Yuan leave alive; if Gu Yuan could not arrive at the Ke family before Gu Mingzong took action, his life would inevitably end on this sea...
However, all thoughts flashed in a vague way, and Fang Jing had only had time to raise his foot and take a step back.
Just as the critical lightning flashed, a person suddenly rushed behind him and threw him to the ground!
Bang!
Gunshots resounded across the sea!
At the same time, not far away, behind the back, which was lined up with Fang Jin, Ke Rong was shot in his arm, and the gun pointing at Fang Jin in his hand fell to the ground with a clang!
He suddenly screamed as blood splattered, but the sound was quickly obscured in the huge waves caused by the explosion, and then he slid out along the tilted deck and disappeared behind the cabin.
Fang Jin was staggered and was helped up. He saw that the mercenary leader Akan was the one who threw him down at the peak: "Boss! Are you okay?!"
Fang Jin's face was gray and his expression was dazed, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and he just looked up at Gu Yuan.
If Gu Yuanzhen fired at him at that moment, Akan would probably not have time to pull him away - Fang Jin was completely lost. However, not far away, Gu Yuan had already withdrawn his gun and drove the yacht to the inclined cruise ship. Even regardless of the danger of whirlpool, he approached very close to the deck and climbed up the cruise ship.
"Come! Come! Come! Come! Come! Come!"
Several people from the Ke family rushed out of the cabin, covered in smoke and were in a mess, and they didn't even care about the danger, and walked across the deck and shouted: "The distribution room is on fire! Let the lifeboat be released!"
"Go and save Mr. Ke! Mr. Ke is trapped in the fire!"
Not far away, Gu Yuan paused, then climbed onto the boat along the gangway, and jumped onto the deck.
"Go away!" Aken yelled in Fang Jin's ear: "The boat is going to sink! The cruise ship is too small and can't last long. Go to the lifeboat!"
Fang Jin gasped violently and shook his head subconsciously.
"What are you doing? Go away, boss!"
Aken pulled Fang Jin hard, and at the same time, Gu Yuan walked through the deck and ran towards the cabin control room where the smoke was coming out.
No one can see clearly what is going on around you when the war is in chaos, but all the changes happen at this moment: as the hull tilt angle increases, instruments, tables and chairs fall down one after another, and in the chaos, gunshots suddenly sounded-
The first bullet splattered a fire at Gu Yuan's feet, and the impact of the second pushed him back!
Fang Jin said in a lost voice: "Gu Yuan?"
I saw a bleeding flower bursting out from Gu Yuan’s shoulder and he fell to the ground!
“——Gu Yuan!”
The incident happened suddenly, completely unexpected. The next second, Fang Jin broke free from Akan and rushed forward, then realized something, stopped and turned around suddenly - Qian Kui, who came out of nowhere, was raising his gun and strode towards Gu Yuan.
Fang Jin said angrily: "Stop for me!"
"I just contacted Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu said to work with Ke Wenlong to solve the eldest son." Qian Kui said coldly: "If you have any questions, please ask him. I'm just doing my order."
Fang Jin's pupils suddenly shrank.
This is different from the steps he arranged in advance, and Qian Kui's role should not be played yet; but there is no hesitation at all when things are about to come. Qian Kui raised his gun to Gu Yuan again, pressed his finger on the trigger and used a little force—
Bang!
Qian Kui's body shook for several times, and a blood hole suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.
The look of surprise on his face had not completely disappeared, and then he fell into the splatter of blood.
Fang Jin gasped and put down his gun. Regardless of Akan's stunned eyes, he turned around and strode towards Gu Yuan.
At this time, the cabin had already burned, and thick smoke and flames emerged from each floor of the cruise ship. From a distance, it looked like a smoke tower wrapped in black clouds. The deck was full of messy wooden boards and metal debris, as the cruise ship was constantly tilting down, everything was constantly flying and sliding to one side.
Gu Yuan leaned against a cracked wall covering his bleeding shoulders, narrowing his eyes as Fang Jin walked over, with a cold and sharp light flashing in his eyes: "...Where is Mr. Ke?"
Fang Jin walked up to him and half-kneeled, pulled his hand and wrapped it around his shoulders, and used the force to help him up with difficulty, and walked step by step towards the edge of the deck.
"Did you hear it? I have to save Mr. Ke, please let go--"
"I can't do it," Fang Jin interrupted and said, "It's important for me to live, I can't do it."
Gu Yuan stared at him tightly, trying to break free but couldn't move at all. The injured shoulder had completely lost its intuition, and he couldn't even feel the severe pain when the blood was flowing out.
"...Why did Gu Mingzong set up a plan to kill him? You are willing to work hard for him because you want the power and status of the Gu family heir?!"
Gu Yuan's voice was filled with violent pain, but Fang Jin did not answer. He stood on the side of the ship that was already close to the sea. Akan had already rushed over and put down his lifesaving raft, and then he was in a difficult and stable position on the whirlpooling sea surface, waved to signal that they could come down.
"You're alive is important to me," Fang Jin repeated hoarsely, not even changing his tone: "I just want to make sure that I can't do anything else."
He grabbed the side of the boat and dragged Gu Yuan to jump, and then the two of them fell heavily in the lifesaving raft. As soon as they landed, Fang Jin hugged Gu Yuan tightly, and his back hit the ground first, bearing most of the weight, and immediately let out a dull and painful hum.
"Hurry and go quickly!" Akan roared in the strong wind: "The vortex is about to rise!"
The lifesaving raft floated for a while, and then it was dragged by a hurricane toward the cruise ship. At this extremely chaotic moment, the sound of the motor was heard from a distance, and Gu Yang rushed over in a yacht. At the critical moment, he reached out and shouted: "Brother! Come here, come up!"
Chi Wanru was also on the yacht. When she saw Fang Jin's face turned pale, she reached out and pulled Gu Yang desperately - but the situation was too late. In the critical moment, no one could pay attention to her stop. Fang Jin grabbed Gu Yang's hand and held Gu Yuan and went straight onto the yacht.
"—Boss!" Aken suddenly shouted behind them.
Fang Jin looked back and saw a black speedboat appearing on the sea in the distance, which was the ship that he had made an appointment with the mercenaries before.
Akan looked at Fang Jin, and the meaning was obvious: the matter on the cruise ship had almost been resolved, and Gu Mingzong was about to arrive, so he had to go back and meet with his brothers as soon as possible.
However, Fang Jin shook his head, his lips were pale and chapped, and his tone was unstoppable: "Wait for me for a while."
Akan opened his mouth, looking very uneasy. However, before he could think of how to persuade him, he only saw Fang Jin turn to Gu Yuan on the yacht. There was no trace of emotion on his face in the strong wind:
"Gu Mingzong is coming soon. You'd better leave here immediately before he comes to Ke's house in Hong Kong. Gu Yang must also go with you."
Gu Yang suddenly said angrily: "Wait, what do you mean?!"
——It is normal for him to get angry. Although Gu Yang and Chi Wanru are mother and son, their identities in the Gu family are completely different. If Chi Wanru truly feels the danger of his life at the hands of Gu Mingzong, Gu Yang is really not clear about it. He subconsciously regards the Gu family as his destination.
Fang Jin looked at him and slowly smiled a little bitter and sarcastic: "Because you are homeless, Second Young Master."
He opened his coat, pulled a stack of documents from his lining pocket, and threw them over.
The document is not long, about five or six pages, and is an overview and signature part of a notarized inheritance document. Gu Yang immediately shook his hand and quickly scanned it. The more he looked, the worse his face became. Finally, he threw the document suddenly: "What the hell is this?! All the stocks, investments and real estate under his father's name are designated to be inherited by you. If you have no descendants after you die, you will hand it over to the designated inheritance foundation, and there is no share of me and my elder brother at all?"
Although he had vaguely guessed this, Gu Yuan closed his eyes instantly when he heard Gu Yang say it.
He sat on the deck floor, leaning against the side of the boat, most of his shirt was shocking with blood. However, the severe pain at the wound had already numbed, and even the anger of losing all his property and status was very hazy. If you had to describe it, it would be as if it was trance-unclear through deep water.
What he felt at this moment was another sting.
It was an indescribable feeling, as sour and hot as venom, making the soul look hideous because of jealousy.
"Why do you think Gu Mingzong locked you up too? Second Young Master, you have never been on the list of heirs," Fang Jin paused, with unconcealed pity in his tone: "From the beginning, the competition only existed between Gu Yuan and me, and you were excluded."
"No... impossible..." Gu Yang stared at the documents under his feet. The stack of paper in the sea breeze turned to the end, revealing the autograph of Gu Mingzong Long Feifengwu on the last page. "Impossible, I didn't even leave anything for me... Why..."
"That's the truth. I think you should have known your father very much for more than 20 years. He really doesn't value blood ties as much as you think."
Fang Jin glanced at Chi Wanru and seemed to ask for a polite sentence: "——Is it right, Ms. Chi?"
Chi Wanru gritted her teeth and stared at him, muttering two words, looking at her mouth as if she was scolding: "Slutty|Man..."
Fang Jin smiled slightly and didn't care.
"You can also look back at the family, Second Young Master, but I promise that your mother will not live for a month - no, maybe not even a week. Do you guess Gu Mingzong or I will be afraid of the Chi family? Do you think after I kill your mother, I will let the mosquito meat go and swallow it because the little mosquito meat in the Chi family is too small?"
"Now you can get out as soon as possible. At least you can still keep the Chi family, and I don't have to worry about it again. In Hong Kong, the emperor is far away, and the Chi family was originally born there. You can live better than fighting with me in the Gu family. Then when we part, we are happy, and we are completely win-win situation. Why do we really force me to use a knife, gun, and kill people and see blood?"
Fang Jin turned his head, his expression was completely calm and very polite.
But the unquestionable confidence in the words made Gu Yang burst into anger: "My father was completely deceived by you! What medicine did you give him to coax him like this? Yes, I am not good enough, but if I don't give my family property, I should give it to my elder brother! What kind of fuck are you from!"
"It doesn't matter if you succeed, the king will succeed and the enemy will lose. If you have the ability, you can help your brother take back the property. If you don't have the ability, you can only shut up." Fang Jin said apologetically: "Although I don't think you have this ability."
Gu Yang took a step forward impulsively, but then he was pulled by Chi Wanru: "Wait!"
"mom--"
"Let's go to Hong Kong," Chi Wanru's voice trembled, and she said, "The Gu family can't go back...We must go to Hong Kong."
She knew that although Fang Jin's words were deliberately angered, it was indeed very reasonable. She couldn't live in Gu's family. Only by going to Hong Kong could she preserve the strength of the Chi family and win the greatest vitality for Gu Yang.
What's more, Ke Wenlong is probably dead, and Ke Rong's life and death are uncertain. Gu Yuan needs help to help him return to the Ke family and get recognition. If he relies on the Ke family and Gu Yuan at this time, it will be the only way to stay in the mountains without fear of no firewood. The future will be long. Who knows if there will be a day when Gu family turns around again?
Gu Yang was pressed tightly by his mother, his chest was undulating violently, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand..."
Fang Jin tilted his head and looked at the mother and son, with a perfect contempt in his eyes, as if he had seen their plans, but he was too lazy to expose it because he had an absolute dominant position.
"Then I won't give it to you," he stepped back politely and stood on the side of the boat and said, "I wish you all the best and see you again in the future - I hope there will be another day."
At this time, the black speedboat had already arrived and did not approach it. It just circled around Gu Yuan and the yacht. Aken stood on the lifeboat and immediately reached out to help him when he saw Fang Jin coming.
Fang Jin stepped out of the side of the boat and had not jumped off the lifeboat, suddenly he heard Gu Yuan's hoarse voice coming from behind: "——Wait!"
Fang Jin's movements paused.
"You're injured," he said several seconds later: "It's better to say less and go to the hospital as soon as possible."
Gu Yuan said coldly: "I will avenge Mr. Ke."
