Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Hunting geese all day, only to be pecked in the eye by one

The chaos on the ship intensified as Luo Qiao’s axe strike was undeniably forceful, the blade sinking deep. Without a doctor aboard and risking exposure of their identities, they dared not go ashore for medical treatment.

Jun Zhenlin, whom others called ’Wutou’, looked at his longtime subordinate and with eyes closed, made a resolute decision, "No going ashore. Head straight for Shanghai."

Turning to look at the tattooed man who had passed out, he said, "Shi Yu, this time, I owe you one."

He instructed his men, "First, use the emergency medical supplies on the ship for bandaging. Once in Shanghai, we’ll figure something out."

But after a lengthy search, they found nothing – the items had vanished. They began to suspect that perhaps the ship hadn’t been stocked with emergency medical supplies at all.

Shi Yu’s loyal followers grew anxious, "Wuye, please save our boss; if it goes on like this, his arm might not be saved."

And Jun Zhenlin knew it all too well, yet landing was not an option, knowing the dangers on land were beyond his control. He never anticipated that his constant hunting of prey would lead to the hunter being pecked in the eye by the prey, outwitted by a mere girl.

His eyes filled with fury, but when he glanced at the sea and saw the faint traces of blood, he found a touch of solace, snorting coldly to himself, for she too had paid the price with her life.

Standing on the deck, Jun Zhenlin gazed at the sea and spoke coldly, "Set sail for Shanghai, and anyone who disagrees can be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks."

Inside the mysterious space, Lu Yichen was only just recovering from his shock, "Qiaoqiao, what’s happening here?"

Luo Qiao explained the origins of the space but didn’t reveal her origins from the future. Now that she was here, she was the daughter of the Luo Family, Luo Qiao.

Lu Yichen found it unbelievable that such wonders could exist. He marveled at the lush, seemingly enchanted space surrounding them.

After Lu Yichen had taken a tour of the space and calmed down slightly, he turned to her and asked seriously, "Qiaoqiao, who else knows about this?"

Luo Qiao shook her head, "Apart from you, I haven’t told anyone else."

Lu Yichen visibly relaxed, "Qiaoqiao, listen, you must not mention this to anyone else, and try not to use the items from this space too often. Remember the adage ’A man is not guilty, but having a treasure makes him guilty’; I don’t want you to be in danger."

Luo Qiao nodded, "Actually, it’s fine. Apart from the well in the backyard that has health benefits if used regularly, the products from this space are only of superior quality and taste, they don’t have any special effects."

Lu Yichen was reassured by her words. Luo Qiao heard some noises from outside, indicating the ship was departing. She then said, "They were initially planning to take the train to Chongqing. Now, they’re probably going to Shanghai first, then transfer trains to Chongqing."

Lu Yichen added, "We should figure out a way to get back to shore as soon as possible. But don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements. They are patrolling this area every two hours; in another half an hour, they should be here."

Luo Qiao said, "I can draw a portrait of that man. Is it possible to let Grandfather take a look? Maybe he will recognize him, because as of now, we still don’t know that man’s true identity, so we don’t even know where to start."

Lu Yichen nodded, "That’s a good idea."

Luo Qiao listened for a moment to the sounds outside, "Keep an ear out for the ship and call me if it approaches. I’ll go prepare the portrait."

Portraits were easy for her to create. Luo Qiao quickly drew both the tattooed man and the man they had brought onto the ship. After double-checking that there were no discrepancies, she secured the drawings and stepped out of the Bamboo Building.

Lu Yichen, still holding a half-eaten melon, asked, "Finished with the drawing?"

Luo Qiao hummed affirmatively and unfolded the portrait for him to see, "It’s possible that Grandfather might recognize the older man."

Lu Yichen kept his eyes fixed on the figures in the portrait, "I think I’ve seen this man in the album left by Grandmother."

A thought crossed Luo Qiao’s mind, "Brother Chen, what was Grandmother’s family background?"

Lu Yichen replied, "I’m not exactly sure, but Grandmother has always been quite generous, and all I’ve heard is that there are not many people left on her family’s side."

Luo Qiao glanced at the portrait, "It’s possible that Grandmother’s family had a distinguished status or was extremely wealthy, attracting unwanted attention, which led her to hide her identity by marrying Grandfather."
