Chapter 49 Internal Trouble Four

Jia Wenjun couldn't understand why Baima Shan would target Zhao Di. If he simply desired her beauty, he could have tried other methods. With his abilities and charm, he might have succeeded.

But he was willing to risk the lives of everyone on this boat and everything he had accumulated, just for a moment of physical gratification? It didn't make sense.

After eating, Baima Shan finally regained some energy. He looked at the worried faces and the varied thoughts of everyone and asked, "I vaguely heard you discussing what happened last night in the cabin, and you mentioned something about poison. What's going on?"

As he spoke, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Jia Wenjun.

Jia Wenjun, who hadn't figured things out yet, instantly felt a surge of alarm. Her sixth sense told her that this man was about to make a move.

Teacher Anna Lin and Lü Maowang explained everything they had deduced, chattering at once. Hao Jiening, who was being suspected, glared at Hu Sixiang fiercely, wishing she could push this stupid and poisonous man into the sea.

At this moment, a ghostly female voice suddenly came from behind them: "Jia Wenjun handled the fish. Why don't you suspect her?"

Everyone turned to look. Lili, who had been absent until now, walked towards them, coldly staring at Jia Wenjun in the firelight.

"Suspect me of what?" Jia Wenjun asked, her face darkening.

She didn't understand why Lili harbored such great malice towards her. What happened in the office before was one thing, but now they were all in the same boat. She didn't understand what benefit Lili could gain from constantly targeting her.

Lili sneered, "Don't pretend. You know what I suspect you of!"

Everyone looked at Lili, wanting to know what she would say next. However, she didn't continue.

"Are you done yet? It was one thing when you were always making veiled and pointed remarks at Xiao Jia, but what time is it now? Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?" Lü Maowang asked Lili.

Between Lili and Jia Wenjun, he would definitely side with Jia Wenjun.

Unexpectedly, Lü Maowang's words set Lili off. She roared at Lü Maowang, "Shut your stinking mouth!"

As a member of the property management staff, she naturally treated the homeowners with some courtesy, especially Lili, who was good at being two-faced and wouldn't offend her "bread and butter." Such a harsh retort surprised everyone.

Lü Maowang lost face from the shout and was about to explode when Lili pointed at him again: "Lü Maowang, you clearly saw who pushed Zhao Di into the water, and now you're trying to protect her. Do you know that's a crime?"

A stir went through the crowd as they all looked at Lü Maowang.

Lü Maowang, shaking his fleshy cheeks, was both anxious and angry at Lili's words: "You're talking nonsense. What do I know? What crime am I committing? How am I protecting her? You better make it clear. Who pushed Zhao Di into the water?!"

Lili raised her voice and, pointing to Jia Wenjun standing opposite her, said emotionally, "It's her! This woman poisoned everyone and she also killed Zhao Di!"

Lili finally revealed this shocking secret. All her previous assumptions were correct. Jia Wenjun had definitely pushed Zhao Di into the sea to avenge the theft of her love. All of them on this boat were going to be buried with her.

"What evidence do you have to say that Jia Wenjun is a murderer?" Old Man Wang asked sternly.

"Of course I have evidence!" Lili said, taking out the sports camera hidden behind her.

It was Zhao Di's sports camera. Everyone had seen it before. Zhao Di used to wear it on her chest all day long, making it hard not to notice.

Jia Wenjun was surprised. She didn't know why Lili had Zhao Di's things. She remembered that last night, when Zhao Di deliberately showed off her affection with Lin Yang in front of her during the video call, she was still wearing this thing. And when Zhao Di got up to go to the stern of the boat, she was also wearing it. Jia Wenjun remembered, because she felt a little uncomfortable at the time, thinking that Zhao Di was always recording with this sports camera, even when she went to the bathroom. It was truly comprehensive and without blind spots.

Now that Zhao Di was missing, but this sports camera was in Lili's hands, Jia Wenjun felt a bad premonition in her heart.

Everyone gathered around. Lili turned on the sports camera, but the camera had been soaked in water and was close to running out of power. Lili pressed the power button several times, but the machine didn't respond.

"Are you kidding us? Using a dead thing as evidence?" Lü Maowang, who had been slandered, was furious.

"The camera is out of power. Does anyone have a power bank?" Lili was also anxious. She wanted to quickly show everyone Jia Wenjun's true colors.

"None of us brought anything like that," Teacher Lin said.

Lili hurriedly grabbed Anna: "Sister Anna, can the power on the boat be turned on? Can we find a place to charge it on the boat? Just half an hour, no, ten minutes, as long as it can be turned on, you'll know who did it."

Anna didn't have a good impression of Lili to begin with, knowing that she didn't get along with Jia Wenjun and always tried to step on her. She didn't want to get involved in this mess, but now that everything was in chaos, and this brainless Lili was using this dead thing to fool everyone, Anna was furious.

She impatiently shook off Lili's hand: "The yacht's generator has been damaged. Not even for a second, let alone ten minutes."

Old Man Wang didn't have a good impression of this lazy Lili either, and frowned at her, saying, "What's in the video? Tell us."

Lü Maowang interrupted Lili: "Old Man, don't listen to her. She's clearly trying to frame someone without any evidence. Now that the machine won't turn on, does that mean she can say whatever she wants?"

"You, you just want to protect Jia Wenjun!" Lili stamped her feet in anger.

Baima Shan stood next to the agitated Lili and said, "Without evidence, or rather, since the evidence can't be played right now, no one can prove their point. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's think about how to contact rescue."

"You say it so easily. I can't stay with this murderer. Who knows if she has any further plans? Maybe before the rescue arrives, I'll end up like Zhao Di, dying at her hands. A dog that bites doesn't bark. Don't be fooled by her. Don't blame me for not reminding you when death is upon you!"

Seeing Lili's emotional state, the others slowly felt that things might not be so simple. If Lili didn't have concrete evidence, how could she be so confident?

Thinking this, Teacher Lin and Hao Jiening and the others had quietly stood on the opposite side of Jia Wenjun. Seeing that everyone's attitude had changed, even Lü Maowang wasn't as tough as before.

Baima Shan glanced at Jia Wenjun and said to everyone, "I believe in Xiao Jia. She's not that kind of person."

Jia Wenjun, who originally wanted to expose the mastermind, didn't expect things to turn out this way. Now she had become a suspect. And in this situation, the person who stood up to speak for her was actually Baima Shan, whom she wanted to expose.

The whole thing was ironic no matter how she looked at it.

Not wanting Baima Shan to control the situation, Jia Wenjun felt that she couldn't wait any longer. She decided to go all out and, gritting her teeth, said to Baima Shan, who was speaking up for her, "I'm indeed not that kind of person, because you were the one who administered the poison, and you were the one who killed her!"
