Chapter 405: Zhao Jie

Translator: 549690339

Clang!

It sounded like he had fallen off the bed.

“What?”

‘ Miss Vivian!?” Zhao Jie’s voice was filled with shock. Immediately after, there was the sound of running…

Creak.

The door to the guest room in front of him was quickly opened. Outside the door, it was indeed the little girl he had just met today, Vivian.

Then, in the next moment.

Before the confused Zhao Jie could ask, Vivian’s fist grew larger and larger until it filled his entire field of vision.

Thump!

After a dull sound.

He lifted his leg and stepped over Zhao Jie, who had fainted on the floor. Liao Zixuan, who had transformed into a little girl, walked into the room and closed the door.

“Uh…” It sounded like a dry moan after waking up from a nightmare.

Zhao Jie wanted to rub his temples. For some reason, his head was hurting as if he had been punched.

Hiss… Speaking of which, was this the nightmare he had just had? He was knocked out the moment he opened the door?

And the main character of the nightmare was the little girl called Vivian, whom he had known for less than half a day. As expected…

Was it because of that incident?

Zhao Jie had just woken up, and his muddle-headed mind was still unclear. However, even if he was not clear-headed, he could still realize one thing, and that was…

Eh?

Why couldn’t he move his hand?

No, not only his hands, but also his feet, his body…

Wait, what was this!

The binding sensation from his limbs was like a bucket of cold water. Zhao Jie, who had just woken up after being knocked unconscious by the heavy blow, shivered and was completely awake.

He finally realized that although he was still in his room, he was firmly bound to the chair like a prisoner.

Zhao Jie instinctively struggled with all his might, shaking the chair violently.

However, as a middle-aged businessman with a weak physique, it was useless. The rope tied to his body did not budge at all.

Instead, it was him…

Plop!

“Ouch, ouch, it hurts… It hurts so much…” Painful wails sounded in the room.

Looking at Zhao Jie, who was clumsy and fell to the ground with his chair in extreme fear, Liao Zixuan, who was also hiding in a corner of the room and secretly observing, frowned.

This seemed to be the mastermind he had imagined…Much worse?

In fact, from the moment he knocked out Zhao Jie with one punch, Liao Zixuan had more or less noticed that the reality seemed to be a little different from his plan.

If this continued, Zhao Jie would probably be suffocated by the chair before he could observe.

Then, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Vivian, who was disguised as Liao Zixuan, finally walked out of the shadows of the room.

“Miss Vivian, this, this is…!?

When Zhao Jie saw the little girl’s figure, his face was filled with shock, confusion, and fear. Only now did he understand that the memory fragments in his mind were not nightmares, but real events.

“Listen well. Next, answer honestly whatever I ask you.

From Zhao Jie’s perspective, this young lady, who had been very gentle and easy to talk to when they were on the deck, seemed to have a huge change in personality. Not only was her expression extremely cold, but her voice also carried a hint of threat.

No, no, no.

He could not die!

How could he die outside before the matter was over?

Under the stimulation of his desire to live, Zhao Jie himself had experienced a lot. He was smart enough not to resist or struggle. Instead, he showed an extremely cooperative expression.

“Tell me, what does Miss Vivian want to know? I’ll tell you everything! ” Opposite him.

Looking at Zhao Jie’s snot and tears, as if he was an innocent person who had suffered an undeserved disaster, Liao Zixuan’s heart wavered a little.

Now, the feeling of ” looking in the wrong direction ” had already taken up most of the time. However, since things had come to this, there were still some suspicious points about Zhao Jie that he had to ask.

For example..

“Tell me, why are you targeting me?”

“Wha… What did he mean? Miss Vivian, I, I don’t quite understand…” Zhao Jie stuttered as he asked.

“Do you think I can’t tell that you’re deliberately approaching me? From the moment you came to talk to me, tell me your purpose and why it was me.

Zhao Jie looked up at the little girl sitting on a chair in the dark room opposite him. She was looking down at him coldly. Zhao Jie shook his head in fear. “Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, Miss Vivian! ”

” Yes, I admit that I did intend to get close to you, but, but I swear on my life! I have no ill intentions towards you! ”

Since he had already said this, and his life was in the hands of others, Zhao Jie did not have the slightest intention of quibbling. He began to tell the truth.

” When the Astori set sail, I happened to be in the bathroom. Unlike the other passengers, I was not required to stay in my room. When I rushed out and wanted to go back to my room…”

“I just happened to see you and Miss Luzi standing together and chatting happily. It’s because of this, so… That’s why I ran out of my room as soon as I set sail on the Astrologis to look for you, Miss Vivian..
