Niu Ying
Chapter 52 Wronged, Part Two
Lili's eyes were venomous. Thinking of her current predicament, all caused by Jia Wenjun, she wished she could throw her into the sea to feed the fish.
Ignoring the gazes and harsh words of others, Jia Wenjun recalled the scene on the deck. She looked at Lü Maowang, like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.
"Boss Lü, you said you didn't film the video, but you appeared in it. I'm sure I didn't push Zhao Di, but I also appeared in the video. Don't you find that strange?"
Lü Maowang frowned. "Of course, I find it strange too."
Seeing the two acting in concert, Lili sneered, "Don't bother acting with such clumsy skills. One murdered, one covered it up, neither of you will escape."
Lü Maowang, with his fiery temper, instantly flared up. "Who's covering up? Say that again if you dare!"
Lili hid behind Bai Ma Shan. "Did I say something wrong? You say you sleep with your eyes open, who knows if you're pretending? Anyway, your eyes are open, who can prove whether you were asleep or not? Anyone here who isn't blind can see that Jia Wenjun pushed the person into the sea. One of you murdered, and the other saw it and helped conceal it. Now the evidence is conclusive, but you still stubbornly deny it. Do you think everyone on this boat is an idiot?"
Hu Sixiang also spoke angrily, "Xiao Jia, I really didn't expect you to be such a vicious person. Is it worth killing someone just for a man? Even if you kill someone, there's no need to drag us down with you, is there?"
"That's right, you immoral wretch! If we can't go back, you can't compensate for the lives of more than a dozen people on this boat! My child is only ten years old, how could you be so cruel!" Hao Jianing's emotions were somewhat out of control, and she rushed up to fight Jia Wenjun.
Before, some people helped to stop her, but now after watching the video, no one helped Jia Wenjun anymore.
Hao Jianing was quite strong, and directly pushed Jia Wenjun, making her stagger, and then slapped her in the face.
Jia Wenjun hadn't paid attention just now when she suddenly rushed over, so she suffered a loss. Now seeing that she was going to keep hitting, she directly dodged a punch.
Hao Jianing's movements were too violent. After Jia Wenjun dodged, she couldn't stop and crashed directly into the railing. Looking at the dark sea below, she was covered in cold sweat. She felt that Lili was right, this Jia Wenjun was really extremely sinister. She kept cursing, but dared not easily step forward to attack again.
Seeing that the Hu Sixiang couple were so unreasonable, Jia Wenjun didn't give them any face and said, "Lao Hu, you were awake when you asked me to help Zhao Di go to the stern to use the restroom. It wouldn't have taken us a few minutes to walk to the stern. If Zhao Di had been pushed into the water by me at that time, there would have been a loud noise. You wouldn't have been able to hear it."
Without thinking, Hu Sixiang said, "Who knows what you were doing at the stern? I was drinking, how could I have time to care about you?"
"You certainly wouldn't care about me, but you cared about Zhao Di. If I remember correctly, you told Brother Bai on the deck before that you liked women like Zhao Di, who were enchanting, hot, loyal to their husbands, and could also make money. You said you'd be satisfied if your wife had even a tenth of her qualities. You cared about her so much, it's impossible that you didn't hear any noise and didn't come over. If Boss Lü was really asleep at the time, and you were right next to him, could you be the one who filmed the video?"
Hu Sixiang was stunned. Lü Maowang turned to stare at Hu Sixiang and asked Bai Ma Shan beside him, "Brother Bai, did Lao Hu say these things?"
Bai Ma Shan was silent for half a second, then nodded.
Hao Jianing spat on the ground. "Hu Sixiang, I've been your family's workhorse for so many years. In your eyes, I'm not even as good as that vixen, huh? You like that vixen so much, go find her in the sea."
Hu Sixiang didn't expect that Jia Wenjun had overheard this, and even more so that she would turn around and pin the blame on him.
Jia Wenjun's words were tantamount to tearing off his hypocritical mask.
He styled himself as a gentleman, and was always hung up about his wife sleeping with someone else. Even though he knew his wife might have been a victim too, he still used the banner of morality to suppress her.
But in reality, he hadn't been honest during those years when he was sent to work in other places by the company. He often frequented those brightly lit places, so he had been extremely cold to Hao Jianing when he occasionally returned home in recent years, feeling that she couldn't compare to the wild flowers outside.
Now that he was exposed in public, he felt guilty and angry, but he still stubbornly refused to admit it.
"Jia Wenjun, you killed Zhao Di yourself and still want to quibble. Everyone's eyes are sharp, you can't escape no matter how much you quibble."
These words made everyone's attention return to Jia Wenjun. The people present looked at Jia Wenjun as if they were looking at a jackal or a tiger.
Hu Sixiang and Lili joined forces with the others to drive Jia Wenjun to the stern of the boat, and the others successively moved food and water to the two cabins that hadn't flooded.
Bai Ma Shan looked at Jia Wenjun, who was silent and trembling slightly, and couldn't bear it after all. He said to Anna, "The storm is coming. If she's left alone on the deck at the bow of the boat, she'll be blown into the sea."
Anna said coldly, "A murderer doesn't deserve sympathy."
"That's right, heaven should take her," Hu Sixiang said viciously.
Jia Wenjun knew that these people were convinced that she was the murderer, so she didn't say any more. She requested to go to the second floor of the cabin to retrieve her suitcase and fishing tackle box.
Lili objected, "No way, there might be something harmful inside. We should throw her things into the sea."
The others also agreed, only Bai Ma Shan shook his head. "She's already been isolated at the very edge of the boat, and we'll take turns on watch to prevent her from approaching. Her things should be returned to her."
Old Master Wang also nodded. "I agree with Lao Bai's statement. Even if Xiao Jia has committed a crime, the police should handle it. If we keep her luggage and something happens to her on the boat, then what's the difference between us and her?"
Anna looked at Jia Wenjun, who was watching them coldly, and her heart wavered slightly.
She knew the principle of leaving a line for people. If they pushed Jia Wenjun too hard tonight, in this dangerous environment where calling for help would be useless, if she went crazy and tried to die together with them, it would be a loss outweighing the gains.
After weighing it for half a minute, Anna spoke, "Lao Bai, Boss Lü, Lili, you go get her things from the second floor. The rest of you stay here and watch her, don't let her get near the cabin."
Although Lili was angry, she didn't dare to disobey Anna, so she could only watch Jia Wenjun get her things with a sullen expression.
Everyone used the barbecue table as a boundary, not allowing Jia Wenjun to take another step towards the cabin.
Hao Jianing grabbed the dog leash from Nao Nao and tried to drive Da Huang to Jia Wenjun's side as well.
Nao Nao couldn't bear to part with the dog, and was kicked hard by Hao Jianing. "A murderer's dog is no good either, let it scram."
Da Huang was driven away by everyone, and followed the isolated Jia Wenjun with a pitiful look.
Jia Wenjun stroked its head. A person and a dog stood at the bow of the ship, where the storm was about to arrive.
Jia Wenjun knew that the murderer who framed her was among these people. She didn't know why the other party was going to so much trouble to frame her. She knew how dangerous it was for her to be left alone on the deck tonight, but these people wouldn't let her in. She also wanted to know if the mastermind would show up late tonight when everyone was quiet.
