Chapter 1185: Chain Strategy, Planning the Escape 1

Ma Ling'er scolded her son for being a fool, just like his father.

Upon further reflection, she thought there was nothing wrong with being a fool in love; even if it couldn't be exchanged for love, it could at least be exchanged for sincerity!

Thinking this way, she felt relieved.

This woman's greatest strength was her ability to let go of anything.

……

The Island.

The old man had returned this time and was suddenly able to speak.

The old man warned the two: "You are no longer the richest man in Jiangzhou and his wife; you are our young master's prisoners. It is out of the young master's mercy that you haven't been killed, but do not challenge his patience again. His patience is not very good."

After he finished speaking, he set up the surveillance cameras on the island again and warned the two not to think about playing tricks under the surveillance and his watch; it was useless.

The couple had lived for half a lifetime; what kind of storms and waves had they not experienced?

Could they be easily intimidated by two sentences from an old man?

What a joke.

So the two waited quietly, waiting for the old man to go through all the trouble of setting up the surveillance, only to easily destroy it again!

We are challenging your young master's patience, so what?

If Zhu Qingrui had wanted to kill them, he would have done it long ago; why wait?

All that talk of patience and mercy is complete bullshit.

The only reason Zhu Qingrui went to such great lengths to bring them to this Island and provide them with food and drink without making things difficult for them was that they had utility!

Once they figured this out, the two were naturally fearless, doing whatever they wanted according to their own moods.

The old man wasn't angry, but he didn't give them any food for a day as a small punishment.

The next day, Shi Youxuan softened her stance.

"Hey! Are you going to set up the surveillance or make food first? We've thought it over. If there's surveillance, there's surveillance; it's no big deal. There are only the three of us on the island, and we don't even have a deck of cards; it's quite boring."

"Once the surveillance is up, I can at least find that little piglet to chat with and annoy him when I'm bored anyway..."

The old man just assumed Shi Youxuan was looking for a way to save face and didn't argue with her. The surveillance was set up again, and Shi Youxuan kept her word, standing under the camera every day to talk to Zhu Qingrui.

She didn't care if he was listening; she had found a new source of amusement!

Sheng Hanyu was the same as usual, using the leftover steak at a fixed time every day to train the sharks on the high platform.

The old man knew this but did not interfere!

Whatever, let them do whatever they wanted.

It was useless anyway.

But Shi Youxuan stopped fishing; she discovered that teasing Zhu Qingrui through the air every day was much more interesting than fishing. Although it was also useless, it could make her feel happy!

She was happy.

The old man only endured it for one day before he couldn't listen anymore; his face turned green!

His relationship with the young master was like that of father and son; no father could stand someone unscrupulously mocking his son in front of him.

"Shut up, you are not allowed to say any more." The old man warned Shi Youxuan: "I am speaking to you nicely now; if you don't heed the warning, you will have to go hungry again."

Shi Youxuan listened to the advice and stopped scolding Zhu Qingrui under the surveillance, instead following the old man around and asking questions incessantly.

"Old man, how many years have you been by your young master's side?"

"Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Why did you pretend to be deaf and mute?"

"Do you usually stay on this island alone, keeping company with the sharks?"

"With no one to talk to, don't you feel stifled?"

"You aren't the most favored person by your young master, are you? Otherwise, why would he send you to guard us? How boring..."

At first, the old man didn't feel bored at all; he just felt it was too noisy.

This woman needed to shut up; it was like she was a walking encyclopedia of questions, and his ears couldn't get a moment of rest.

But as time went on, after being asked so much, the old man felt it wasn't good to not answer at all.

Shi Youxuan chatted as if they were just making small talk, and the questions weren't that sensitive.

She didn't show the same hostility toward him as she did toward Zhu Qingrui, so the old man occasionally answered a question or two.

Three days passed.

The surveillance was still standing there perfectly fine.

Sheng Hanyu was still jogging as usual and going to the high platform to fish for sharks.

It was just that the couple wasn't bored enough to read each other's palms anymore; they were each busy with their own things.

Shi Youxuan no longer chatted with her husband every day, nor did she go under the surveillance to scold Zhu Qingrui, but she spent every day laughing and talking by the old man's side, even helping him with some chores.

Finally, Zhu Qingrui got angry.

His temperament was very much like his father's; he was suspicious by nature.

His own man was getting too close to Shi Youxuan, and he felt a sense of crisis!

Thus, Zhu Qingrui ordered the old man not to speak to Shi Youxuan, not even a single word, and to return to his original state.

The old man would not disobey the young master's orders, so he truly did not respond with a single word again.

Shi Youxuan talked to herself for a long time; it was so boring!

A conversation without a response was even more meaningless than a love without a response.

So, on the morning of the fifth day.

After breakfast.

Shi Youxuan returned to under the surveillance to scold Zhu Qingrui again.

If he did not want to listen, he would turn off the surveillance; out of sight, out of mind, and his heart would not be troubled.

The sixth day was still like this.

The seventh day was the same.

This woman had many strong abilities, but her greatest was the skill of her glib tongue!

The tenth day.

Shi Youxuan could be one hundred percent certain that Zhu Qingrui was no longer opening the island's surveillance at all.

Even though the poles were still standing there and the surveillance cameras were still rotating three hundred and sixty degrees without any blind spots.

The other side simply would not turn them on; he really did not want to see Shi Youxuan's face, and even less did he want to hear her voice.

She was truly infuriating, every word stabbing right into the heart!

It was only because of Zhu Qingrui's endurance that he had tolerated her for several days; if it were an ordinary person, they would have long since vomited blood and died from anger.

Since the surveillance cameras could not monitor the situation on the island, the old man also tried his best to avoid Shi Youxuan.

Because of this, she swaggered around the island looking for secret passages, poking here and looking there, and the old man did not even ask a single question!

The fourteenth day.

It was almost the night of the full moon.

The couple knew that the old man was about to leave the island again to purchase daily necessities and food.

Sheng Hanyu suddenly fell ill in the morning with a stomachache.

Therefore, he did not go to the high platform to fish for sharks as he usually did.

Shi Youxuan also did not wander around the island as she usually did, but instead stayed in the room to take care of her husband.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

The couple ate all of them in the room.

After finishing breakfast, both of them felt a bit listless.

After finishing lunch, they started yawning repeatedly and felt dispirited, but Sheng Hanyu's stomachache had improved a lot.

Less than ten minutes after finishing dinner, the couple fell into a deep sleep.

A storm began to blow outside the island again; although it did not reach the island, the sound was still very loud—yet it had no effect on the couple.

They were not affected in the slightest and slept very soundly.

Especially Shi Youxuan, whose eyebrows did not even twitch in the slightest!

She was afraid of thunder.

The couple had been on the island for such a long time that the old man had long since discovered this point.

Every time it thundered or there was a storm, Shi Youxuan was not as active as usual.

Although she would grit her teeth and insist that she was not afraid, her eyes would not deceive anyone, and furthermore, every time a storm started outside, she would hide in the room and not come out.
