Shen Miao knew how to swim but in this cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the Wan Li Lake's water was bone chilling and once one entered it, one would feel that one's entire body was a block of ice and after struggling to move a few times, one would feel that one's entire body could no longer move.
That skinny and tall one was about to jump into the water to fish Shen Miao out since Shen Miao was the one who knew the whereabouts of the people in the secret chamber. But before he could take action, he heard an inexplicable sound of firecrackers coming from the horizon and when he looked up, he saw a firework lighting up in the West.
"The situation has changed!" The short one wiped off the blood stains on his face and said, "Retreat!"
"Bring the person away first." The skinny and tall one scolded and was about to jump into the lake when one did not know that the boat suddenly jolted and one did not know when two black clad people were standing at the bow of the boat. The shoulders of the two black clad people had golden embroidered eagle patterns. The short one cried out involuntarily, "Mo Yu Army! Why is there the Mo Yu Army here? "
Before the two of them could recover to their senses, the two black clad people were already in front of them. A silver light flashed past and the two of them had a look of horror on their faces before they slowly fell down.
In the lake, Shen Miao was still violently churning. From the words of the short and tall one just now, it was not just the two of them alone. It seemed that there was another force behind them and it sounded like the force was rather large. Shen Miao had an intuition that was beyond imagination when it came to such matters. If she fell into the hands of these two people, she would naturally be able to think of a way to escape but if she fell into the hands of that force, even if she died outside, the Shen family would never be able to find the murderer.
But she did not expect that this desperate jump would actually trap herself in a dead end. Those two people did not come down to save her and the lake water was ice cold. Could it be that she would die here?
Her head started to feel heavy and her ears could not hear a buzzing sound, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. It was obvious that the light from the surface of the water was in front of her and she could see the bright lights from the lanterns flowing down the river, but she could not catch it and could not see it.
Just when her eyes were about to blur, she suddenly saw a figure swimming over from afar. That person's body was strong and vigorous. In the bright lake water, it was as if a god had descended from the heavens, bringing with him the light as he swam towards her.
That person swam in front of Shen Miao and hugged her waist as he swam towards the surface of the water. In such a world of ice and snow, the lake water was bone-chilling and it was difficult for one person to swim but it was easy for him to carry another person. When he swam to the front of the pleasure boat, he lifted Shen Miao up and threw her onto the boat before flipping himself up.
Shen Miao choked on a few mouthfuls of water and did not get up after boarding the boat. She only pinched her throat and coughed a few times. However, she saw the figure in front of her turn. When she looked up, she saw that the person was also dripping wet from head to toe. There was no longer the playful expression on his face as he looked at her with a frown.
It was Xie Jing Xing.
Seeing Xie Jing Xing at this moment, Shen Miao did not even have the thought of being surprised. Those two people were here for Xie Jing Xing and it was assumed that Xie Jing Xing himself knew the news, thus he rushed over.
She struggled to prop herself up and saw that there were two more corpses in the cabin. They were the skinny and tall man and the short man from before. Two black clothed men walked out from the depths of the cabin. One of them walked to Xie Jing Xing's side and whispered something. Xie Jing Xing waved his hand and the two men left with the two corpses. Before they left, they even cleaned up the blood stains in the cabin.
Shen Miao did not bother to think who these two people were as even a fool would be able to guess that they were Xie Jing Xing's people. She moved her body and felt that there was no part of her body that was not sore. She had been soaking in the ice water for half a moment and was shivering from the cold. Previously she was thrown by the skinny tall one several times and her back was in pain. The most painful part was probably her calf. She lowered her head and looked at her skirt. The skirt was stuck to her body and there was a flower of blood on her calf. It was mixed with the red embroidery on her skirt and it was not clear. That was the wound that the skinny tall one used a dagger to.
