A three-year-old child dragged his sister's coffin and cried out for justice in the military re

"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.

The once invincible "Poseidon" was finally blown in two in the final explosion.

The enormous ship, resembling two burning mountains, slowly sank into the dark depths of the sea.

The flames died down and the thick smoke dissipated.

On the sea surface, only a huge, bottomless whirlpool remained.

It's like a gaping maw, ready to devour everything.

"Whoosh—"

Huge waves surged and crashed violently against the small lifeboat.

The small boat tossed and turned violently on the raging sea, like a leaf that could be torn apart at any moment.

Shen Wansan clung tightly to the gunwale, vomiting violently.

Gu Bei and the unconscious girl huddled in a corner, their faces deathly pale.

Only year after year.

She lay motionless on the cold ship's side.

Those big eyes were fixed on the dark sea that had just swallowed the giant ship.

There were no tears.

There was no sound.

Just watching.

It was as if they wanted to see a hole through the sea.

Her world fell silent.

All sound disappeared.

All that's left is that silhouette.

The figure kneeling in a pool of blood, severing the cable.

The back of her hand that smiled at her and said "Live on."

Why?

Why do all the people who are good to her leave her?

Mom is.

My older sister is.

Grandpa is mute.

Now, even my godfather is...

Is she a jinx?

Whoever treats her well will die?

A huge, suffocating despair overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

The hole in my heart, which had just been partially filled, was dug open again.

And it's bigger, deeper, and colder than before.

"Wow--"

The emotions that had been suppressed to the extreme finally erupted at this moment.

Sui Sui opened her mouth and let out a heart-wrenching cry.

That wasn't the cry of a three-year-old.

It contained so much pain, despair, and self-hatred.

"Godfather..."

"Godfather, come back..."

"Sui Sui was wrong... Sui Sui shouldn't have been so willful... Sui Sui shouldn't have come to this wrecked ship..."

"Come back..."

She pounded her little hands against the gunwale, until the backs of her hands were worn raw and bleeding.

Shen Wansan came to his senses and looked at Sui Sui, who was crying so hard she was almost breathless, and felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

He crawled over and hugged Sui Sui in his arms.

"Don't cry, Sui Sui... don't cry... Qin Xiao... he'll be alright..."

Even he himself didn't believe this comforting remark.

He fell from that high ship and had his leg broken by a steel beam.

How could they possibly have survived?

"It's all my fault...it's all my fault..."

Shen Wansan held Sui Sui in his arms, and this grown man in his forties cried like a child.

"It's my fault... I couldn't protect him... and I couldn't protect you either..."

Gu Bei also climbed over.

He reached out his cold little hand and clumsily wiped away Sui Sui's tears.

"Don't cry."

His voice was soft, with a slight tremor.

"Big Uncle is a hero."

"Heroes never die."

However, Sui Sui wouldn't listen to anything anymore.

She shook her little head desperately in Shen Wansan's arms, her cries growing more and more piercing.

She seemed to be crying out all the grievances she had suffered over the past three years.

"dad……"

Sudden.

A very faint, indistinct murmur escaped from her lips.

"Dad...don't die..."

"Sui Sui is being good... Sui Sui will never run around again..."

"Dad, come back..."

Shen Wansan and Gu Bei were both stunned.

This is the first time every year.

He called Qin Xiao "Dad".

Not a godfather.

It's Dad.

That cry of "Dad" was like a knife, piercing Shen Wansan's heart.

He held Sui Sui tightly, letting his tears fall onto the child's hair.

The sea breeze howled, carrying a salty, fishy smell.

The small lifeboat, in the boundless, dark sea, was like a desolate island of despair.

Just when everyone was in despair.

Several blinding beams of light suddenly appeared on the distant sea.

Immediately following was the deafening roar of a huge motor.

"Rat-a-tat-tat—"

Several black speedboats, like arrows released from a bow, cut through the waves and sped toward them.

A group of fully armed men stood on the speedboat.

The leader was dressed in a black police combat uniform, holding a gun in his hand, with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

It was none other than his sixth godfather, Lei Ting!

He arrived with the Interpol joint task force!

"Quick! There are survivors over there!"

Through his night vision goggles, Thunder spotted the lifeboat bobbing in the waves.

The speedboat quickly approached.

When Lei Ting jumped onto the lifeboat and saw Sui Sui crying so hard she was about to faint, and Gu Bei and Shen Wansan looking pale, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Where's Qin Xiao?!"

Lei Ting grabbed Shen Wansan by the collar and roared.

Shen Wansan pointed to the dark sea and wept uncontrollably.

"He...he fell down trying to save us..."

Lei Ting swayed and almost lost his balance.

He looked at the sea, which had returned to calm.

The last glimmer of hope in my heart was extinguished.

"No... Daddy isn't dead..."

Sui Sui broke free from Shen Wansan's embrace, climbed to the ship's side, and cried out to the vast sea with all her might.

"Daddy! Come out here! Sui Sui is here!"

"dad--!"

Just then.

Gu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up.

He pointed to a floating object not far away.

"There! There's someone there!"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

On the sea surface dozens of meters away, on a huge wooden plank of a ship, there seemed to be a black figure lying there!

"Quick! Shine the searchlights over there!"

Thunder roared.

Several beams of light instantly focused on the dark figure.

I see it clearly now.

It really is one person!

He was covered in blood, one leg twisted unnaturally, but one hand was still tightly holding onto the plank!

It's Qin Xiao!

He is still alive!

"dad!"

When Sui Sui saw that figure, she let out a surprised scream and almost fell off the boat.

The speedboat sped past.

Several soldiers jumped into the water and worked together to lift the unconscious Qin Xiao onto the speedboat.

Sui Sui rushed over and hugged Qin Xiao's cold hand tightly.

"Dad...Dad, wake up..."

Qin Xiao's eyelids twitched, as if he wanted to open them, but in the end he didn't have the strength.

With his last ounce of willpower, he slowly opened the fist that had been clenched tightly.

In the palm of your hand.

It was a data hard drive that had been soaked in seawater and was now broken in two...

That was something he had risked his life to get from the "doctor".
