Chapter 398: Chapter 398: He Leaves Her Behind

This scene looks quite interesting.

Cheng Cang teased, "Could it be that he’s using you as a shield?"

Lu Xining withdrew her gaze and said to the man beside her, "I didn’t realize you were so gossiping before."

He shrugged and said, "Gossiping is a human instinct."

Anyway, doing anything is more interesting than listening to the old man on stage babbling in bird language.

Just then.

Ji Muye strode towards Lu Xining and Cheng Cang.

Ma Sai was following him aggressively.

In his opinion, Cheng Cang was the seductive fox spirit trying to lure their boss’s lady. He even went to her room late at night yesterday; he was obviously not an honest person. He had to guard the budding love his boss was finally developing.

Lu Xining also saw Ji Muye walking towards her, but as he passed by Zhuang Tian, his arm was grabbed by her.

The man was about to shake her off when he heard Zhuang Tian quickly say something, and his face and eyes instantly darkened.

Ma Sai’s pupils widened in shock as he looked at the person beside him.

Ji Muye turned and walked briskly towards the door without looking back at Lu Xining.

Zhuang Tian hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed, deliberately turning back to catch Lu Xining’s gaze, her lips curling with a smug expression.

A few people were stopped by the bodyguards at the door.

Ma Sai shouted a few harsh words.

The bodyguard hurriedly reported the situation to Meng Lai, who was speaking passionately on stage. Upon hearing from his subordinate, he glanced at Ji Muye with a meaningful look and gestured for them to pass.

Ji Muye led Ma Sai and Zhuang Tian out of the banquet venue, hurrying as if encountering a very tricky situation.

"What’s happening here? It’s rare to see your ex-husband with such a serious expression," Cheng Cang lengthened the distance between them to avoid being scorned by her.

Lu Xining withdrew her gaze, looking up at Meng Lai, who was ready to ask everyone about their whereabouts the previous night. Meanwhile, she replied to Cheng Cang, "He’ll deal with his own issues, but we should first deal with ours."

She became the first person Meng Lai wanted to interrogate.

Others were hesitant, unable to react, while Lu Xining was already sharply questioning him with a fierce and strong tone.

"Mr. Meng Lai, may I ask in what capacity you are interrogating us? Everyone here has a prominent status, and even if the authorities were to interrogate us, they would need the appropriate documents. What about you, do you have any documents authorizing you to conduct this interrogation?"

"We were invited to attend the banquet, not to be prisoners, and this is only the second day with such occurrences. Shouldn’t you investigate your own issues first? What if you’re the ones crying thief to cover up your crimes and trying to blame us, the guests? We need to protect our rights, right."

"I’m the head of the ZN Laboratory and also a doctor. Since you claim Mr. Lott was murdered, why don’t we go see the scene together? Whether it was an accident or a murder will be apparent once seen."

Only after hearing her did everyone react.

They weren’t ordinary people; expecting them to be interrogated with a few words was nearly dismissive of them and their families.

Meng Lai didn’t expect this seemingly gentle Oriental beauty to be so sharp-tongued.

He knew he spent a lot of effort PUAing everyone to this emotional low point, which this woman quickly dismantled.

"Beautiful lady, this is the Royal Cruise. I, Meng Lai, am the ruler here. Not to mention interrogation, even if I were to imprison you all, you’d have to accept it."

With arrogance in his voice, his rising volume spread quickly through the banquet hall, igniting the anger of the other guests present.

"Meng Lai, even if your father were here, he wouldn’t dare speak like that. Are you looking down on us?"

"Do you think you’re still the young master from those days? Meng Lai, your father fell from grace long ago, and don’t think we aren’t aware of what happened back then. If not for you hiding, you’d have been long since..."

Bang!

The speaker’s voice suddenly stalled as the carpet before him was shot through. Meng Lai blew on the smoking gun barrel in his hand, sneering.

"Why stop? Keep talking. Let’s see if your people save you first or if I throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

The scattered guests began to gradually gather together.

Everyone looked warily at the manic Meng Lai, while his gaze fixed on Lu Xining, who had stirred everyone’s emotions with just a few words. Their eyes locked, and neither would yield, as he was ready to teach these disobedient people a lesson.

"Alright, since you all want to see, then go and take a look."

His voice was chilling as he said, "But after seeing it, don’t be scared. After all, Lott’s manner of death was not pleasant."

There was a sense of apprehension in everyone’s hearts.

Lu Xining and Cheng Cang exchanged glances and led the way, following Meng Lai to the ship’s morgue.

At the moment the white cloth was lifted, everyone’s pupils contracted sharply!

They could hardly believe the mutilated body, beyond recognition, could be Lott.

The clothes on the body were gone.

The scars looked like marks from beast claws, densely packed, crisscrossed chaotically, appearing extremely terrifying.

Lu Xining’s gaze was calm. While there were many scars on the body, the truly lethal one was the hole through the heart.

Meng Lai intended to keep the initiative, taking advantage of everyone’s fear at this moment to further deepen their internal horror. But he instead saw Lu Xining put on medical gloves and start examining the scars.

While examining, she informed everyone from different aspects like depth, width, length, and shape of the wounds that these scars were caused by beasts.

"Beasts? Impossible! This is a cruise ship. Who would bring beasts on board?" Someone among the guests questioned, feeling she was being alarming.

Instead, Meng Lai silently watched her, his lips curving in a faint smirk, playing with the family crest ring on his right hand with his left hand.

Lu Xining looked at the speaking person and continued, "These wounds penetrate deep into the muscle, fascia, and even the bone. The grisly shape of the cuts—if made by a blade—would not look like this."

Even though her explanation was logical, the person still did not agree with her.

He further said his family had many doctors who could spot the issues with these wounds at a glance, his face filled with supreme self-satisfaction.

"These wounds are marks made with a sharp blade. You’re insisting they were caused by beasts? If so, why only harm Lott? With so many bodyguards and staff onboard, how were they all spared? You can’t possibly claim the beasts used their brains, right?"

Seeing Lu Xining remain silent and not continuing to explain, the arrogance on the man’s face became even more apparent, his eyes filled with disdain.

As if saying: What does a woman like you know about autopsies?

Meng Lai’s smirk widened more and more. Having someone echo his sentiments was exactly what he wanted, so he played along, "Indeed, how could there be beasts on the Royal Cruise? I think you’re just spouting nonsense!"

Lu Xining looked at him coldly, pointing to an unnoticed hidden door in a corner and said, "Then do you dare let everyone see the world behind that door in the morgue?"
