Hearing Qin Hai"s description, all the girls looked forward to it and asked about the details one by one. In the end, Selina could not help but ask a few questions. Her att.i.tude towards Qin Hai was clearly not as cold and distant as before.
Finally, Qin Hai said, "Now that I think about it, I was really too bold back then. He didn"t have anything to eat, and only half a bottle of water remained. He didn"t know when there would be a storm, nor did he know when he would encounter a big wave. He relied on a sailboat to float on the sea for a few days. If I had been a little bit unlucky, I might have died at sea. However, these were not the most frightening aspects. If the voyage took longer, loneliness would be the most tormenting. Because there is no one to talk to, because there is water everywhere and because I feel like I could die at any moment, it is very easy for me to fall into a state of anxiety and loneliness and be unable to extricate myself. "
Selina also knew that Qin Hai"s words were meant for her, a warning to her. She nodded and raised her gla.s.s to indicate to Qin Hai, "Thank you for your advice. I will remember it."
Qin Hai raised his gla.s.s and clinked it with Selina"s before gulping it down.
When Xiao Lingling saw this, she was overjoyed. Qin Hai and Selina, one her closest lover and the other her best friend, she really didn"t want to see them become so hostile. Now that she had become so harmonious, this was exactly what she wanted to see happen.
"Hubby, tell Serena more about how you endured those days. Ce"Nedra will have to sail around the world, and it will help her to hear more about your experiences. " Xiao Lingling put her arm around Qin Hai"s and acted coquettishly. It was very rare for Qin Hai and Selina to be able to sit together and chat peacefully like this. Therefore, she hoped that she could use this opportunity to mend the relationship between them.
Qin Hai didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. He explained how he caught the seagull, how he used seagull meat to fish, and even how he caught a big fish. He also mentioned how he was chased by sharks for more than an hour, which made the girls laugh out loud.
Unknowingly, they had chatted for almost an hour. The cruise ship had already gone deep into the sea, and the lights on the pier had completely disappeared from their line of sight.
After a moment of silence, Qin Hai suddenly asked, "Miss Selina, the crown you"re wearing today is very pretty. I heard it came from your family?"
"Yes, that crown was at home when I was very young." Selina"s att.i.tude towards Qin Hai was indeed much better. It could be said that she would answer any question she asked.
"Does it have a name? A crown as beautiful as this usually has a name. " Qin Hai continued asking.
Selina shook her head. "I"m not too sure about this either. I asked my grandfather, but they didn"t know either." After taking a sip of the wine, Selina laughed self-deprecatingly, "Some people say that our family is descended from pirates. If it"s true, that crown might have been pa.s.sed down since then, so it"s normal for no one to know its name."
Qin Hai and Anna looked at each other, and the latter pretended to be surprised and asked, "I have also heard similar rumors. Selina, could it be that your family is really descended from pirates?"
Ce"Nedra shook her head. "I don"t know, but if our family is really descended from pirates, there should be a lot of antiques." But I"ve never seen anything but that crown. So, I"ve never really believed that kind of story, even my grandfather wouldn"t have believed it. "
Serena wryly smiled: "We can"t be a.s.sociated with pirates just because our family has always been involved in the shipping industry. I feel helpless every time we talk about it."
Ce"Nedra"s expression didn"t seem to be fake. Qin Hai and Anna looked at each other and were sure that Ce"Nedra and her family didn"t know that their family was indeed the descendant of the notorious Blackbeard and that the crown was something left behind by Blackbeard.
Moreover, from what Selina had said just now, she revealed a very important piece of news. The things left by Blackbeard for their family could very well only be one thing, and that was that Blood Rose Flower Crown.
Thinking of this, the look in Qin Hai"s and Anna"s eyes became especially solemn.
At this moment, a bodyguard dressed in black quickly walked over and whispered a few words into Selina"s ear. Ce"Nedra looked up and shot a puzzled glance at the bodyguard. She then said to Qin Hai and the others, "You guys continue chatting. I have something to deal with first."
After Ce"Nedra left quickly, Anna went up to Qin Hai and asked, "Did something happen?"
Qin Hai nodded. The bodyguard had just told Serena that something had happened in her bedroom. He didn"t go into detail. However, from that bodyguard"s body, Qin Hai could smell a faint smell of blood. Clearly, this bodyguard had just seen blood.
Thinking of this, Qin Hai held Xiao Lingling"s hand and said to her and Qiao Wei, "Sister Qiao, Lingling, Anna is like you two, mine. Right now it is very possible that something has happened on the ship, you guys don"t need to separate from Anna, she"s a good fighter, she"ll protect you guys, I"ll go up and take a look and then I"ll come. "
Xiao Lingling was shocked. "What happened? Is Serena in danger?"
"It"s hard to say right now, but I"ll go take a look at the situation." Qin Hai patted Xiao Lingling"s hand to rea.s.sure her. After giving Anna some instructions, Qin Hai got up and walked to the third level of the ship.
In the third floor cabin.
When Selina followed the bodyguard in black into her room, she immediately saw the corpses of the two female bodyguards.
She immediately frowned and asked, "What"s going on?"
"Someone broke in and killed them." The bodyguard in black motioned Serena into the bedroom. Similarly, there were two corpses on the floor inside the bedroom. One of them had a big hole in his chest, and blood was flowing all over the floor.
Selina immediately covered her mouth and vomited. The strong smell of blood almost made her faint.
Just then, someone else entered the room, followed by Emil"s surprised shout from outside. "My G.o.d, what"s going on?"
Not long after, Emil entered the inner bedroom. Like Ce"Nedra, Emil almost immediately vomited.
After a long while, with great difficulty, she asked the bodyguard beside her, "Did you lose anything?"
"After our careful examination, someone has already touched your safe."
Ce"Nedra"s expression immediately changed. Without caring about the disgusting feeling, she quickly walked to the wardrobe and opened the safe. Then she took out the box containing the Blood Rose.
When he opened the box, he saw that the crown was still lying in the box. Emil patted his chest.
However, when Selina looked carefully at the crown, her face suddenly turned extremely pale.
"This is fake, someone really stole it!"
