Chapter 149: Chapter 149: It’s Just That She’s Too Pretty

Tao Hua gave a shallow smile. This woman was overly cautious.

Rong Shaoze smiled as well. He elegantly raised his glass towards Annie, saying softly, "Game over!"

Annie’s face changed slightly, when suddenly, a noise was heard, and the floor beneath her feet began to sink—

She cursed inwardly, but luckily her reflexes were quick. She grabbed onto Tao Hua’s arm for leverage, flipping over to land steadily on the other side.

But in that brief moment, Rong Shaoze had quickly advanced, seizing her wrist, twisted forcefully, and the pistol immediately dropped to the ground.

Annie winced in pain, furrowing her brow. She raised her leg to kick him, but he dodged with a laugh. His hand reached for her thigh, targeting the fingerprint storage device on her leg!

She couldn’t afford to lose that device!

Scrambling awkwardly, she clenched her fist and swung towards his face.

Just as she was about to hit him, Rong Shaoze slightly turned his head, dodging in time. His forward momentum unchanged, he violently and swiftly grabbed her leg, pulling hard, and the device fell into his hand.

Tao Hua picked up the pistol from the ground and slowly aimed at Annie.

With a quick glance, she realized she couldn’t beat them and started to run. As a gunshot sounded, she rolled to dodge and leaped off the cruise ship, plunging into the sea.

"What a pity, she got away," Tao Hua said with regret.

Rong Shaoze tossed the device to him, his mouth twitching sardonically, "If you had moved faster, she wouldn’t have escaped."

Tao Hua immediately laughed sheepishly, "Hey, it’s not that I didn’t want to shoot her. It’s just that she was too pretty to shoot, couldn’t bear to do it."

"How virtuous!" Rong Shaoze lifted his glass, sitting on the high stool, and asked indifferently, "What kind of drug did she steal from you?"

When the subject came up, Tao Hua’s expression became somewhat grave, "It’s the T5 we developed recently, a drug that once injected can completely eradicate the pain receptors. But it’s a failed product; stealing it is useless."

"What does that woman want with it?"

Tao Hua shrugged without any clear idea, "I don’t know. I think she must have been hired by someone, maybe even a Dark Organization. You know how much they need these types of drugs. If it can make people lose their sense of pain, just imagine how many martyrs they could train."

Rong Shaoze furrowed his brow with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

Tao Hua took a glance at him and asked, "Do you know which organization it is?"

"I don’t know."

"You might want to look into that, it’ll be difficult to deal with later otherwise."

Rong Shaoze finished his drink and pressed his lips together, no longer speaking.

Seeing that he remained silent, Tao Hua naturally didn’t press the topic further. He fiddled with the silver palm-sized thunder in his hand, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"This pistol is really cute being so small. I’ll carry it with me for self-defense from now on."

The blazing sun above made Lin Xinlan’s mouth dry and tongue parched.

It had only been a short while, but she already felt dizzy.

The waves kept coming, some reaching her knees, some her chest, but so far, none had managed to reach over her head.

As she hung her head, dazed and confused, a gunshot rang out.

She instantly looked up, only to see a woman diving into the sea, then disappearing without a trace.

What had happened?

Why did that woman jump into the sea? Could she have sunk to the bottom and died?

She watched suspiciously for a while, but seeing no further disturbances, she no longer paid attention.

A faint sneer appeared on her lips; she shook her head. She was barely surviving herself, why should she care about the life or death of others?
