Struggling on the Brink of Death

The girl turned out to be Wang Xingyu's older sister?

Lin Feng frowned and immediately rushed out, ready to silence them.

However, before taking action, he needed to ascertain two things.

First, besides these two, were there any other survivors of today's shipwreck, and how many of those survivors belonged to the Sea City Lord's Mansion?

After all, since Wang Xingyu's sister appeared here, it meant that the Lord's Mansion was searching for him and must have sent a considerable number of people.

To rashly attack her would be equivalent to giving himself away, letting everyone know that Wang Xingyu's death was connected to him.

The other people from the Lord's Mansion could directly contact the outside world and report the incident.

Secondly, Lin Feng wanted to see if this deserted island was as bizarre as he had imagined.

However, all of this had one prerequisite.

That was whether Qin Meng and He Tiantian would tell the girl about him killing Wang Xingyu.

Just then, they immediately spoke up: "We saw him! We saw Wang Xingyu!"

They appeared quite excited.

It seemed they were eager to tell the girl something.

Lin Feng instinctively reached for his dagger, ready to strike and silence them immediately if they blurted it out.

Upon hearing their words, the girl also shouted in great agitation, "Really? Where is he? Where is he?"

Qin Meng and He Tiantian, however, fell silent and gave no answer.

Seeing this, the girl furrowed her delicate brows, a wave of bad premonition rising in her heart.

Just as she was about to ask further questions, she suddenly noticed Wang Xingyu's watch on Lin Feng's wrist and asked, "Why is my brother's watch with you?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng's urge to kill grew even stronger.

At that moment, He Tiantian quickly preempted the conversation and said, "Wang Xingyu... Young Master Wang is already dead. Please accept our condolences."

"My brother is dead?"

Hearing the tragic news, the girl staggered back a few steps, finding it hard to accept, and almost fell to the ground.

Then, she looked coldly at Lin Feng: "How did my brother die, and why is his watch on your hand?"

He Tiantian hurriedly replied, "Young Master Wang died protecting us. He is a great hero, and we are all deeply grateful to him. If it weren't for him, we would all be dead."

At this point, she glanced at Lin Feng: "As for the watch, Young Master Wang gave it to him."

"Young Master Wang said that on this deserted island, his clothes, watch, and other items were vital supplies, and told us not to throw them away."

"He also said that after his death, we should throw his corpse into the sea instead of digging a grave to bury him."

"Because there are wild beasts on the island, he didn't want his body to be dug up and eaten by beasts after his death, denying him peace even in the afterlife."

She had thought it through: Wang Xingyu's sister looked quite capable of handling herself, but she might not necessarily be a match for Lin Feng.

After all, as formidable as Yuan Shuang was—with Cheng Xiangyu claiming he could take on ten men by himself—he was still no match for Lin Feng at all.

Moreover, leopards were terrifyingly fierce beasts, yet Lin Feng had managed to kill one.

Most importantly, Lin Feng was standing right beside them, looking ready to strike at any moment.

She was terrified that if she told the truth, she would be silenced on the spot.

Everything else could wait until they left the deserted island and returned to Sea City.

Besides, she and Qin Meng still intended to use this secret to torture Lin Feng for a while, rather than letting him die too easily!

After hearing her out, the girl remained somewhat skeptical. She shifted her gaze to Qin Meng: "Is it really as she says?"

Qin Meng nodded: "Yes, it really is like that."

Her thoughts were much the same as He Tiantian's.

Furthermore, she figured that since Cheng Xiangyu's fiancé had arrived on the island, Cheng Xiangyu would no longer be able to be with Lin Feng.

Then, Lin Feng might return to her side and continue acting like her loyal lapdog.

Therefore, she subsequently looked at Li Hao and said, "Cheng Xiangyu is still alive, just with a slight injury on her leg. Otherwise, she's completely fine."

Saying this was also a way to change the subject, preventing Wang Xingyu's sister from pressing further and uncovering any flaws in their story.

"Xiaoyu is still alive? Still alive? Ha ha, that's wonderful, simply wonderful!"

Upon hearing Qin Meng's words, Li Hao was instantly overjoyed.

However, the way he pinched his fingers into an orchid gesture and acted with affected delicacy gave everyone goosebumps.

Nevertheless, the girl's attention was not diverted. Her gaze swept over Lin Feng, He Tiantian, and Qin Meng as she said, "What on earth happened? Tell me in detail."

He Tiantian opened her mouth to speak.

The girl raised a hand to stop her: "Wait. I don't want you to tell me; I want him to."

With that, she pointed straight at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng immediately spoke up: "How Young Master Wang actually died, I don't know for sure. By the time I rushed over, he had already been severely mauled by a leopard and was on his last breath."

"Although I am a doctor, resources on this deserted island are limited. Even if I wanted to save him, my hands were tied!"

"However, even though he was gravely wounded, he managed to slice the leopard's tail in half and thrust a sharpened branch right into the beast's mouth."

"If he hadn't beaten the leopard into that state, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to kill it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Meng chimed in, "Yes, that's right..."

Then, she and He Tiantian recounted the whole story to Wang Xingyu's sister: how the leopard had suddenly attacked them, how Wang Xingyu had fought fiercely against the beast to protect them, and how he was ultimately mortally wounded by it.

Since this was a story they had fabricated beforehand, they delivered it in great detail without any logical flaws or loopholes.

Consequently, Wang Xingyu's sister no longer doubted them.

At last, she couldn't help sighing: "My brother has always loved to dote on women, and he usually liked to show off in front of girls, often flying into a rage for a beauty's sake and causing plenty of trouble."

"I never imagined that this time, in order to protect three beauties, he would bravely fight a leopard and lose his life!"

Qin Meng sighed in agreement: "Indeed, Young Master Wang was such a fine man. For him to die like this is such a pity!"

He Tiantian burst into tears: "If it weren't for Young Master Wang, we surely would have been eaten by the leopard. It was Young Master Wang who saved us!"

"If time could turn back, I would definitely stand in front of Young Master Wang and not let him die!"

Lin Feng added, "That's right, Young Master Wang was such an exceptional person, a true role model among men. Not only did he protect the three beauties with his life, but right before he died, he even told us to strip off his clothes and watch, saying they were important supplies that must not be discarded!"

"If only I could have run faster and gotten there sooner, perhaps he wouldn't have been killed by the leopard?"

"What a pity. Young Master Wang was terrified of being eaten by wild beasts and would have died with eternal regret, so he repeatedly begged us to throw his corpse into the sea. Otherwise, you might still have been able to see him."

"This watch belongs to him. I'll give it to you so you have something to remember him by. Please accept my condolences!"

With that, he handed the watch over to the girl.

Whether it was him, Qin Meng, or He Tiantian, while they said those words aloud, inwardly they were all mocking the falsehood: Wang Xingyu was never that brave; he was just a braggart who got so scared he nearly pissed himself at the sight of a leopard.

Accepting the watch from Lin Feng, the girl no longer harbored any doubts about the story the three of them had concocted.

She took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions before saying, "By the way, Lin Feng, Qin Meng, He Tiantian, my name is Wang Mengru!"

"And this is Li Hao from the Sea City Li family!"

While fabricating their story earlier, the three of them had mentioned each other's names, so she already knew who they were.

Seeing her introduce herself, Lin Feng could tell her suspicions had largely dissolved.

He inwardly let out a sigh of relief.

It's a good thing you stopped doubting, otherwise you would have already become a ghost beneath my blade!
