When Jiao Long heard that she shrieked, "Noooo! This can't happen. Jing Min! Jing Min, what are you doing?" She started crying as tears fell out of her eyes uncontrollably. "Come back Jing Min."
However, Shu Jing Ming continued to laugh like a madman.
Xie Yuansheng looked at his main man and said, "Where's the remote?"
"Boss, it is right here," came the answer and the remote was handed over to him. "You have to press the button after five hours from now. By then this ship will be well in the Pacific Ocean with no land masses around it."
"Hmm," said Xie Yuansheng as he took the remote and kept it in his inner coat pocket.
Jiao Long looked at all of them in horror. Then she said, "Xie Yuansheng, what are you planning to do? Why don't you just kill us now?" As she said, she could hear Shu Jing Min chuckling away.
"All these ships are going to sink with you. The last of the five ships will reach Pacific Ocean in five hours from now and I will press this remote button from my home. The bombs in each of them will explode and all of them would disappear in the depths of the ocean along with the two of you. You people loved this company so much. See, I am giving it back to you with love!" replied Xie Yuansheng.
"My ships, my ships…" came a murmur from Shu Jing Min.
Xie Yuansheng looked at him and pointed, "See how he looks now." He looked at Jiao Long and said, "My wife wanted to give back the company to you but then she also wanted to sell off all the ships and give it to you broken completely. But I am different. I will give it to you to take it to another world. You can continue sailing ships there while over here I will regret as to why didn't I take this decision any earlier in my life."
"What decision?" asked Jiao Long.
"To kill you," he replied staring at her with such murderous glint in his eyes that she flinched.
The horn hooted and it was time for the second ship to leave. In another half an hour the third ship had to leave. All the security men left. Jiao Long suddenly started becoming panicky. She pleaded Xie Yuansheng once again, "Xie Yuansheng please leave us. I will make sure that none of my family comes near you. We will all go to a far village and never ever show our face to you. Please, please leave us." Then she looked at Shu Jing Min and said, "If you want, you can keep him and kill him but you must leave me. What will happen to my kids?"
Xie Yuansheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He said, "You are a piece of art, aren't you? You are trying to trade your husband in exchange with your life?" he started laughing and then shook his head. "You started this even before Feng Xinying was born. You wanted all the money that your father was giving to Feng Zhantian and so you plotted all the time. As if that wasn't enough, you kept troubling us much after Feng Zhantian was killed. I had to kill Xie Weihui to keep her away from troubling us."
"I am sorry Xie Yuansheng. I will go away from here. Please leave me," said Jiao Long one last time. Her energy was drained now.
Xie Yuansheng gave a sinister smile and said, "I am leaving you." He turned and exited the ship. As he was walking down the ramp, he could see that the guards were lifting the anchor and readying it for sail in the next fifteen minutes. He looked up towards the sky and felt the cool breeze blowing through his hair. The sky was bright with shining stars. It was going to a fresh start at life with the danger out of his life forever.
The engine hooted again and the guards looked at the man who was walking down the ramp. He looked menacing and stately. His aura was such that everyone around wanted to give in to his command. As soon as he stepped on the port, the ramp was lifted.
All the ships had Captains that were supposed to sail the ships till the middle of the Pacific Ocean and then they had to exit the ships together. A yacht would be present there already to take them back home.
As Xie Yuansheng went to sit in his car and was exiting the port, he heard the hoot of the third ship. He took a deep breath and looked ahead. The dawn was about to break in an hour and Feng Xinying was about to wake up. "Hurry up," he instructed the driver.
When he reached home, he went to the bedroom with a glass of whiskey and its bottle in his hand. He pulled out a chair and sat down on it facing Feng Xinying. He removed his leather jacket and hung it on the chair.
When Feng Xinying opened her eyes, she saw Xie Yuansheng sitting on a chair having whiskey. She looked around and saw that it was early dawn. She looked at the clock and it was only 4AM. She rubbed her eyes to confirm that she wasn't dreaming. She looked at Xie Yuansheng again and saw him staring at her with eyes that looked sultry because of all the alcohol they were holding. She removed her blanket and went to him to take his glass and keep it on the bedside table. He held her wrists and pulled her in his lap. Feng Xinying curled her arms around his neck and kissed him on his cheek, but he grabbed her chin and kissed her lips passionately as if there was no tomorrow. When he finished kissing her, he buried his head in her chest and said, "I love you."
She stroked his hair and asked, "What happened darling?" She could feel his restlessness.
Xie Yuansheng opened her shirt buttons and sucked her breasts to his heart's content and then buried his head again over there. He was drunk. After a while he looked up and then picked his coat from behind. From its pocket, he took the remote out and said, "This is a remote that would trigger an explosion somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Do you want to press it?"
"We'll do it together…" she replied as one of her white breasts was exposed for him.
