Chapter 1175: Shi Youxuan and Her Husband Trapped on the Island

~8 min read 1,555 words

"I can't just sit here and wait to die, waiting to be beaten to death by him, right? So you must help me with this favor; who told you to be so capable?"

Yun Qitian said he wanted to apprentice himself to learn, and he said it very nicely, but his attitude was not respectful at all.

He righteously blamed Shi Ran, blaming her for being too capable!

Both of them had suspended their studies without graduating to come back and take over their family businesses.

Why is it that she is as seasoned as if she had been tempered for a long time, while he is like a greenhorn?

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Compared to Shi Ran, the harm to Yun Qitian was too great.

These days, his parents' catchphrase has been unexpectedly uniform: "Look at Shi Ran, then look at yourself."

So he threw in the towel and quit, going directly to work at the Sheng Family, planning to return only after he had learned his lesson.

"Fine, you can stay," Shi Ran agreed.

From the bottom of her heart, she was grateful to the Yun Family.

Yun Qitian was not as incompetent as he claimed; he said it on purpose just to find a suitable excuse to stay.

To stay and help Shi Ran.

Although there were many people helping her, they were all elders, and it was not very good to order elders around; it was much more convenient to use a peer.

Yun Qitian entered Dingsheng Group under the guise of learning, serving as an Assistant to Shi Ran.

With his help, Shi Ran was like a tiger with wings, and she managed everything inside and out in perfect order.

It was just that there was still no news of her parents; it had been a month, and she didn't know if they were doing well or where they were now.

Shark Island.

The sea breeze blew in gusts, the gentle wind drifted slowly.

On a high platform built by hand, a middle-aged couple sat leisurely, the two of them fishing.

Fishing for sharks!

It was very thrilling, very exciting.

The two people's fishing rods were quite unique; there was no fishing line, and naturally, no fishing hook either.

The man cast his fishing rod with a flourish, and at the same time he cast the rod, he threw out a piece of steak.

"Swish—"

The sharks swam toward the steak in unison, their movements very fast.

The steak was eaten, and the school of fish swam back again.

Head to head, tail to tail, they were as uniform as well-trained soldiers.

The man nodded to the woman.

So the beautiful woman sitting beside him cast her fishing rod with the same graceful and nimble movement, but no beef was thrown out!

This was not important.

What was important was that, out of conditioned reflex, the sharks swam in the direction the rod pointed, but they swam back in disappointment in even faster time.

This time the formation was not very neat; they seemed dissatisfied, shaking their heads and wagging their tails to vent their displeasure.

The man was also dissatisfied, and said to the woman beside him: "Why do you fool everyone? You even fool sharks? Did you steal the steak to eat again? This isn't the first or second time you've done this; do you still want to go home or not?"

The woman nodded and said earnestly: "I want to go home, I just feel that it's a waste to give all the steak to them, I want to eat it too."

The two had been on the island for a month; although the food they ate every day was very sumptuous, most of it was fish, shark meat.

Although shark fin is good, one cannot stand eating it every day.

So steak was especially precious here, yet the man used it to train sharks; it was too wasteful.

The man touched the woman's head dotingly, not blaming her anymore, feeling very heartbroken: "I'm sorry Xuanxuan, it's my incompetence; I haven't thought of a way to escape after such a long time, and I've let you suffer."

Shi Youxuan nodded: "That's right, you really are incompetent. I was originally very smart, but after being with you for a long time, I've also become stupid. It's all your fault. After we get out, I want to eat steak, every single day."

"Okay, we'll eat it every day."

The two left the high platform; the training for today was done, and the two had many other things to do with the remaining time.

Such as reading palms or jogging, and so on.

Life on the island was too monotonous and too boring; they couldn't just sit around with nothing to do, staring at each other.

The first three days after arriving on the island.

The two had been looking for a way to escape, or even just a way to contact their family if they couldn't escape.

They were the backbone of their family, with elders above and children below; now that the two of them had been abducted to the island, their fate was unknown, wouldn't their family be worried to death?

Three days later.

The two discovered miserably that they couldn't escape, and they couldn't contact anyone outside either.

The reason was simple: there was no signal here, but the surrounding area was full of sharks!

Shark Island.

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Sheng Hanyu's mind, and three words emerged.

If this really was Shark Island, then they were truly unlucky.

Many years ago, Zhu Yiwen was almost eaten by sharks here, but he luckily escaped death!

Later, Sheng Hanyu had even specifically investigated this sea area, but the result was that it ended up with nothing, and he couldn't investigate it clearly at all.

Because the surrounding environment was too complex.

The weather here was unpredictable; one second it could be clear skies for miles, and the next second it could be a raging storm.

Ships and airplanes would avoid this sea area; this sea area was full of reefs, the magnetic field was strange, and all kinds of bizarre things happened one after another; ordinary airplanes and cruise ships simply dared not come this way.

So don't think about lighting a bonfire to signal for help from nearby ships; it was useless, because there would be no ships nearby.

No ships pass by nearby, but sharks do haunt these waters.

It seems this place is a shark den; they take turns going out to forage, and when the weather is bad, they all gather in the den to rest.

The most peculiar thing about the geography here is that the weather is unpredictable, yet on this island, nothing ever happens, and it is sunny and pleasant all year round.

It feels nice to live here, but they are unwilling.

They still want to return to their own home; no matter how good a place is, it is not as good as home.

How the two of them arrived on the island, the husband and wife do not know.

What has happened in the outside world, they also do not know; they only know they were abducted to the island by the couple from the Qi Family, who forced them to sign that bullshit agreement.

Of course, the agreement could not be signed.

Then the Qi Family couple would not let them leave, and after that, they arranged a banquet; they ate their fill and went to sleep, only to wake up and find they had been moved to a different place!

This island is much smaller than that small island, so it was easy to discover that the place was wrong.

There are only two small rooms on the island; one is kept clean and tidy for the couple to live in, and the other is occupied by an old man.

The old man spends very little time on the island.

He is elusive, and they never know when he appears or when he leaves.

But every time the old man returns, he brings abundant food and other daily necessities.

Therefore, although Sheng Hanyu and his wife are imprisoned on the island, their quality of life has not declined.

The old man can leave the island smoothly, and they could too, but after observing, the two were disappointed.

There is not a single boat on the island; let alone a boat, there is not even a lifebuoy.

How does the old man get out?

This is a mystery.

Asking him yields no answer; the old man seems unable to speak and only uses simple gestures to express simple meanings.

If it is slightly more complex, or if he does not want to answer, he just shakes his head.

Bribery is useless; he cannot understand speech at all, so how can he be bribed?

To escape, they can only rely on themselves.

Half a month ago, they discovered that although there is no one on the island, there is surveillance!

To escape, they must avoid the surveillance.

Reading palms and running are just to paralyze the people on the other end of the surveillance, making them feel that they have accepted their fate, so they can wait for an opportunity to escape.
