Chapter 5 Unfair Treatment

　　Apart from Bai Ma Shan, everyone who saw the sudden appearance of Jia Wenjun had expressions of disgust and shock on their faces.

　　No one expected Jia Wenjun to come out on her own. Lili and a few others screamed in fright, and Hao Jiening hugged her son tightly, afraid she was holding something that could hurt them.

　　Anna's expression changed slightly as she saw that she had even brought her dog. She thought to herself that Jia Wenjun must have come out through the secret passage. It seemed that next time she locked her up, she would have to lock the door properly.

　　Hu Sixiang and Bai Ma Shan were also startled to see her come out.

　　"You, how did you get up here?" Hu Sixiang wanted to grab something to defend himself, but realized there was nothing in the room that could be used as a weapon.

　　Seeing that she didn't seem to have anything like a knife in her hand, Hu Sixiang had a second thought. There were so many people on the boat, what was there to fear from subduing one woman?

　　Thinking this, he put on a fierce look, pointed at Jia Wenjun, and scolded sternly, "Who told you to come out? Get back down there!"

　　The rejection and unfair treatment Jia Wenjun had suffered these past two days had brought her grievances and anger to their peak. She pointed at them too, not giving an inch, "I'm not a criminal, you have no right to lock me up!"

　　Hao Jiening acted as if she had heard a joke, "You killed Zhao Di, and now you've injured Anna and stabbed Lü Maowang. You're not a criminal? You're a murderer!"

　　Jia Wenjun sneered, "I didn't kill anyone. Believe it or not. And don't be too smug, those who want to frame me. Sooner or later the police will find the real killer. There are others who want you dead. Anna, the owner of this ship, is addicted to drugs and hides them herself. If she has ulterior motives, with her knowledge of the ship and the surrounding waters, it would be easy for her to run the ship aground. There are drugs hidden under the carpets below. If you don't believe me, come down and see."

　　Anna was so angered by her words that she clutched her chest. "You, you injured me, and now you're spreading rumors? I kindly provided the yacht for you, and in the end, the ship is in this state. I didn't blame anyone, but I didn't expect to be falsely accused of hiding drugs by a murderer. I, I'm really too kind for my own good."

　　As she spoke, she appeared to be unable to catch her breath. Lili quickly went to support her, "Anna, don't pay attention to her. She's just trying to trick us into going down there so she can attack us. We won't believe her."

　　Some people had heard Jia Wenjun's words last night, but no one took them seriously. Now, seeing her still standing here slandering Anna, and hearing Lili's words, everyone's emotions rose.

　　"I'll give you three seconds. Either you take your dog and go back down obediently, or I'll beat you down myself."

　　Seeing that Hu Sixiang wanted to attack, Bai Ma Shan stepped forward to stop him, "Let's talk things out. Since she's insisting, I think for the sake of everyone's safety, we have to go down and check things out. What do you say, Anna?"

　　Anna was dissatisfied, "She hasn't said a word of truth. Now Lü Maowang and Anna both said that she stabbed them. Why should we listen to her nonsense and go down to investigate?"

　　"That's right! There's no need to investigate at all. Just drive her back down and don't let her come up again. When the police come, they can just take her away," Hu Sixiang said.

　　Everyone echoed in agreement. Bai Ma Shan asked Anna again, "Yachts consume a lot of fuel. Why did you hide so many carpets down there?"

　　Anna's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean hide? What I put in my hidden compartment are my company's carpets. There's Guibei Island near where we were fishing before. A friend of mine opened a high-end hotel on it. It's just been renovated, and I was going to send these carpets to them. If our ship was still in the same place, they would have sailed over to pick them up, but now that we've drifted here, they won't be able to find us."

　　"Why didn't you tell us about this?"

　　Anna's expression changed. "Why should I tell you about my own business? Just because I didn't tell you my private affairs, you're standing on the side of a murderer?"

　　Anna had long been unhappy about Bai Ma Shan secretly bringing food to Jia Wenjun. Now that Bai Ma Shan was openly speaking up for Jia Wenjun, she no longer gave him any face.

　　"I'm not on anyone's side, I just want to find out the truth." Bai Ma Shan had been suspicious of those carpets, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his question. It was just that Anna felt that asking meant he was on Jia Wenjun's side, which made him feel that there was a problem.

　　"Brother Bai, it's not that we're talking about you, but you've seen the video, and you've seen with your own eyes how Anna got her injuries. You're still protecting Jia Wenjun. It's really unreasonable," Hu Sixiang also had objections to Bai Ma Shan repeatedly stopping him from attacking.

　　Jia Wenjun looked at these lying, selfish, and hypocritical faces. She was so angry that her lips trembled.

　　Thinking about what happened last night and Lü Maowang's sudden distortion of the truth, she seemed to understand something. She looked at Bai Ma Shan and said, "Brother Bai, you saw that Lü Maowang wanted to take advantage of me last night. I don't know why he would say that I was the one who stabbed him. After thinking about it, there's only one possibility: he's afraid I'll pursue the matter, so he pinned the crime of stabbing on me, wanting to strike first. Brother Bai, please tell them the truth about what Lü Maowang did to me last night."

　　After speaking, Jia Wenjun looked at Bai Ma Shan.

　　With Lü Maowang's distortion of right and wrong, Jia Wenjun couldn't be sure that Bai Ma Shan would definitely help her, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't give up.

　　Bai Ma Shan was silent for two seconds. Old Master Wang had asked him why Lü Maowang had gone down to the dark compartment, so he had only told Old Master Wang about this before. At this moment, he told everyone about how Lü Maowang had almost forced Jia Wenjun yesterday.

　　Teacher Lin covered her mouth, not expecting Lü Maowang to have done such a thing. Although she hated Jia Wenjun for killing someone, Lü Maowang wasn't a good person for doing such a thing.

　　Old Master Wang squinted at Lü Maowang, who wanted to quibble, and shook his head secretly. Now that survival had become a problem, the people on this ship were still not twisting themselves into a rope to survive. If things continued like this, he already sensed that things would sooner or later rush in an uncontrolled direction.

　　Lü Maowang hissed in pain on the bed, "Hey Lao Bai, don't talk nonsense. She and I, we're dating, so what if we have some intimate gestures?"

　　Jia Wenjun's clenched fist was trembling slightly. "Bah, who's dating you? You're not only a rogue, but also a coward! You don't even dare to say who stabbed you!"

　　Lü Maowang was so angry that he said "you" several times in a row. Lili, who was beside him, suddenly said, "Jia Wenjun, if you say that Lü Maowang was harassing you, then that just proves that you had sufficient reason to stab him, so you're still the one who stabbed him!"

　　Jia Wenjun looked at their faces and knew that she couldn't "wake up people who are pretending to be asleep", and there were even those who deliberately distorted the truth and wanted to put her to death. Even if she had mouths all over her body, she couldn't explain herself even if she jumped into the sea.

　　She asked herself if she had ever done anything that harmed nature and reason. She just wanted to live, but on this ship, that had become a luxury.
