The people in the dark hold couldn't hear the arguing on deck over the sounds of thunder and rain.

The ship was rocking violently. Jia Wenjun was so exhausted she could only close her eyes and rest. She didn't know what Anna's next move would be, but for now, it couldn't hurt to let this weak body recover.

Jia Wenjun was already used to the environment here, but Bai Ma Shan was filled with anxiety.

As night fell and the tide rose, the seawater gradually submerged the back of his feet, making him sit down and stand up restlessly.

He didn't want to sit and wait for death. That's why he had worked with Jia Wenjun to stack the blankets earlier, hoping that if they piled them high enough, they could climb out through the broken hole in the deck.

However, Anna had anticipated this move and had people drag out the suitcase where he "hid" the apples, placing it over the hole, along with some other items, making it impossible for those below to have the strength to lift them while climbing.

Jia Wenjun and he had been busy for a long time, twisting and turning in the dark hold. Although Bai Ma Shan could barely climb up, he couldn't push away the things pressing down from above.

After trying several times, both of them were panting and exhausted. Jia Wenjun finally said, "Forget it, Brother Bai. Even if we get out now, we won't gain anything going up against nine of them. Our situation might be even worse than it is here. We should rest here first, conserve our energy, and then respond according to the situation."

What Jia Wenjun said made sense. Bai Ma Shan was also panting heavily and had to stop struggling, sitting down in defeat.

The sky outside had long since turned dark, and the sound of the wind mixed with rain splattered against the deck.

The two in the dark hold were silent in the pitch-black space, while on deck, two groups had escalated from arguing to shoving over whether or not to delete the video.

The Hu Si Xiang family and Sun Jiao Jiao just wanted the apples in Lü Mao Wang's hands, but Grandpa Wang and Teacher Lin wouldn't let them destroy the evidence.

At this time, food was more important than anything else, and the majority of people were on the side of deleting the video, even Lili was wavering.

Lü Mao Wang, having taken the medicine, was already able to sit up. Adding the Hu Si Xiang family, basically everyone with strength was on their side.

Seeing that the items were about to be forcibly snatched away by Lü Mao Wang and the others, Grandpa Wang blocked them from the front, and Teacher Lin desperately protected the camera Zhao Di had left behind.

She condemned them with righteous indignation, "You're disregarding Zhao Di's injustice for a few bites of food. Even though she's gone now, she was once the precious child of her parents, the beloved of her husband, a living, breathing person with feelings. You at least knew her. Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

Lü Mao Wang was confident of victory and said leisurely, "Teacher Lin, you're quite eloquent with your high-sounding principles, but weren't you the one who kicked Bai Ma Shan out for a few bites of food just now?"

Teacher Lin faltered, "You, you're being deliberately obtuse. This isn't the same thing at all. Bai Ma Shan, Bai Ma Shan, he was wrong to secretly hide things. We should share the blessings and endure the hardships together."

"Since when is there such a thing as 'should'? You take other people's things with such confidence, and then you want to lecture people. That's being hypocritical."

"You, you..." Seeing that she couldn't win against this slanderer, Teacher Lin turned and pointed at the Hu Si Xiang couple, "You two also have a child. If your Nao Nao was pushed into the water and her life was uncertain, and someone wanted to delete the video that could prove Nao Nao was harmed, how would you feel?"

Hao Jie Ning was rendered speechless by the question, but was enraged by her using Nao Nao as an analogy, "Keep your mouth clean. It's your son whose life is uncertain after being pushed into the water!"

Hu Si Xiang knew that he was in the wrong, and he no longer had the same unbridled attitude as before.

Lü Mao Wang was afraid that this family would turn against him, so he quickly said, "Didn't I say before? I'll only delete the part with me in it. I won't touch the part where Zhao Di was pushed into the water."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Jiao Jiao suddenly shouted sharply, "Bullshit, there's no such function as deleting just a bit of it. Do you think we're all fools? You're disregarding other people's lives just to clear yourself. You used food to tempt us, to make us destroy evidence with you. You're insidious and vicious. What's the difference between what you're doing now and Bai Ma Shan hiding apples? All the food on the ship should be shared by everyone. Bai Ma Shan has already taken out everything he had. You should take out yours too. The video can't be deleted!"

Lü Mao Wang looked at Sun Jiao Jiao, who had just agreed with him about deleting the video and even said she would help him delete it, with a look of astonishment and then anger, "Are you fucking crazy?"

Sun Jiao Jiao, who had just lost her child, was suddenly provoked by Teacher Lin's words. Thinking of the baby who had briefly been inside her, she superimposed her own child onto Zhao Di, who had been pushed into the water. Like a crazed mother lion, she would bite to death all those who wanted to destroy the evidence of her child's murder for a few bites of food.

She pointed at Lü Mao Wang, hysterical, "You said Bai Ma Shan stole Zhao Di's underwear, but you're the one who stole her underwear! I saw you entering our room that day and secretly taking her red lace underwear!"

These words were like a bomb thrown into a calm lake, instantly stunning everyone.

"Sun Jiao Jiao, how dare you slander me!" Lü Mao Wang was furious. Enduring the pain, he was about to go up and hit this crazy woman, but Grandpa Wang stepped in to stop him.

Normally, Grandpa Wang would never be a match for Lü Mao Wang, but now Lü Mao Wang had been stabbed twice and was physically weak. Grandpa Wang desperately blocked him, still managing to push Lü Mao Wang to the ground.

Sun Jiao Jiao was in a state of frenzy, saying whatever came to her head, "Others may not know you, Lü Mao Wang, but I know you! You're just a rogue. Zhao Di's death might even be related to you. Otherwise, why would you be caught on camera out of so many people? If you have a clear conscience, why are you so afraid of the police seeing you in the video?"

On this ship, Sun Jiao Jiao was closest to Lü Mao Wang. Now, hearing Sun Jiao Jiao say this, everyone took several steps away from Lü Mao Wang.

At this moment, everyone clearly realized that this ship was filled with lies and sins. No one knew whether the person standing in front of them was a human or a ghost.

No one knew who was telling the truth. It seemed that only by keeping a distance from others could they ensure their own safety.

No one helped Lü Mao Wang up from the ground. He cursed Sun Jiao Jiao and Grandpa Wang with foul language, saying that he would make them pay when he got off the ship.

Unlike the others who were feeling uneasy, Anna didn't care about the facts. She only cared about whether she could succeed tonight.

Hearing Lü Mao Wang threatening them, Sun Jiao Jiao angrily kicked his wound, and then, taking advantage of his wails of pain, she went to snatch the apple he had been using as bait.

Lü Mao Wang was completely enraged by Sun Jiao Jiao. Enduring the pain, he fought with Sun Jiao Jiao, wanting to throw the apple into the sea, "No one gets to eat it! Let's all starve to death!"

Seeing that he was going to throw away the food, Hu Si Xiang also came to help snatch it.

Lü Mao Wang bit Hu Si Xiang on the thigh. Hu Si Xiang groaned, and then everyone watched as the apple drew an arc in the night sky and disappeared over the ship's railing.

Everyone looked in the direction where the apple had disappeared. Lili, in despair, suddenly saw some light on the dark sea. Thinking she was seeing things, she rubbed her eyes vigorously. That's right, it wasn't the reflection of the seawater and rain, nor the light of lightning. It was the light of a lamp.

She shouted with all her might from her hoarse throat, "A ship, a ship is coming!"
