Although the sailors aboard the boat went down to salvage, Awang still died. The reason was that he had been bitten by Xiaolun earlier and, not having surrendered, did not receive treatment. Once in the water flailing about, the poison in his body spread even faster.

"What on earth is going on?" Granny Ling’s face was extremely pale.

"Awang poisoned Wenxiu." Yu Qingge looked at Granny Ling, "Granny Ling, he was the person you brought with you."

"Poisoned? How is that possible?" Granny Ling gasped in shock, "But Awang, he is, he is a family servant born and raised in the Dong Family, he..." She suddenly stopped talking. Though she had been supported by the Dong Family over the years, she had also experienced hardships. She knew all too well the dark secrets that could emerge from within a large household’s gates. Now, it seemed, Miss Dong’s return indeed made some people uncomfortable. Breaking out in a cold sweat, she was relieved that Xinxin was so clever; otherwise... She glanced at the people on the boat briefly, and considering the journey ahead, she dared not continue traveling tonight.

The night breeze was gentle, and the weather in April was still quite pleasant, at least not too hot.

The nearby small town had already quieted down. The boats at the dock that were supposed to leave had gone, leaving only a few fishing boats, with the Dong Family’s passenger boat being the most conspicuous.

The boat of the Prince of Clouds had left at an unknown time.

However, everyone on the boat had entered their dreamland at this point, with only the servant on night duty pacing back and forth on the deck.

Soon, the moon reached its zenith. The two servants on duty yawned, and another two approached, "It’s time to change shift."

The two nodded, then turned to enter the cabin. However, the two newcomers quickly rushed forward, silently striking down the other two servants.

Then, from a small boat nearby, several figures hopped on, boarding the passenger boat directly.

The ropes were untied, and the passenger boat silently left the dock.

"They..." Dong Wenxiu’s face turned white. She had been sleeping in her room when Du Man quietly brought her here, never imagining that someone would be plotting something so sinister.

"They want to kill you." Yang Ruxin glanced at Dong Wenxiu, "Now, I’m going to follow them. You stay here and behave, and don’t distract me."

"But..."

"Wenxiu, Ruxin is very skillful, and since we don’t know martial arts, let’s not cause any trouble by following," Yu Qingge, despite the temptation to join in, thought better of it and hurriedly took hold of Dong Wenxiu’s hand, "We should just obediently wait here for the good news from Ruxin..."

Dong Wenxiu had no choice but to nod.

Yang Ruxin gave Xuxu and Du Man some instructions, then boarded a small boat nearby, untied the ropes, and followed the current to chase after the passenger boat.

On the cliffs flanking the Tiger’s Mouth Straight, several people lay prone, closely watching the situation on the river.

Soon, a signal flare shot up into the sky.

"Big Brother, it’s on," one of the henchmen pointed to the sky, revealing a smug smile, "This is a big catch... I heard that the Miss is a pretty young widow. Tonight, should we let the brothers..."

The leader smiled as well, "The widow you can have for yourselves, but her daughter and the little tart with them are mine..."

"Big Brother going for a double tonight?" Another henchman quickly gave a thumbs up, "Impressive, will you let us have a taste afterwards?"

"No problem, each of you will get a turn," the leader replied with an even broader smile, then gestured, "Let’s go."
