Chapter 480: Zhu Yiwen Gets His Just Deserts
Sharks began to appear all around.
White fins glinted with a ghostly light on the emerald water—one, two, three...
More and more.
Yano was single-minded, keeping his eyes locked on Zhu Yiwen.
Zhu Yiwen began to panic.
First, he had not expected Sheng Hanyu to actually catch up.
Then, he also had not expected the two speedboats to be this close!
If he blew the whistle now, it would be the same as saving Sheng Hanyu, but if he didn't blow it, he couldn't escape himself; it was a dilemma.
The two were getting closer and closer, so close that they could hear each other shouting.
"Yano, your bride was slept with by the Pirate leader, why aren't you going to take revenge on him instead of chasing me?" Zhu Yiwen was full of malice, picking the most heart-wrenching things to say.
"Bang!"
Answering him was a violent collision.
Under the violent jolting of the speedboat, Zhu Yiwen was almost thrown out.
He broke into a cold sweat, his face deathly pale.
"Madman, you've flown into a rage from shame."
Zhu Yiwen muttered, not daring to provoke Sheng Hanyu further; his eyes rolled, and he had another idea.
"Yano, do you want to know who you are?"
"Where you came from? Who your parents are? What other family you have, I can tell you all of it..."
On the Island, when Yafei was repenting, he had overheard it.
Thus, Zhu Yiwen knew that Sheng Hanyu still did not know his own identity, and this was an opportunity he wanted to exploit.
"I don't need you to tell me, I already know."
"Bang!" Yano's speedboat rammed him hard again, scaring Zhu Yiwen so much his soul almost flew away.
He began to regret it, regretting that he shouldn't have driven into Shark Bay!
"Chirp, chirp—"
He couldn't care about much else and blew the whistle desperately; the sharks all around scattered, moving quite a distance away from them.
"I surrender, let me go, and all my money is yours." Zhu Yiwen picked up the heavy bag beside him and opened it for Yano to see.
It was full of diamonds and jewelry, along with quite a bit of cash.
It was all stolen from the Island.
"Brother, you must not be soft-hearted; this man is named Zhu Yiwen, he is the worst, and it was he who caused your amnesia." Wang Yong shouted down from the cruise ship.
Zhu Yiwen waved his hands frantically, arguing repeatedly: "No, no, Yano, don't listen to his nonsense. That man on the cruise ship is the real villain; he has always wanted to seize your family property and even has his eyes on your wife..."
If this had been the first thing Zhu Yiwen said, Yano might have believed it.
But this story had been told by Yafei at the beginning and had already been exposed as a lie by Lao Ya Tou; now that Zhu Yiwen was saying it again, Yano wouldn't believe a single word.
Furthermore, this person was in league with the Pirates; not only did he lie to deceive him yesterday, but he also shot at him from behind...
Yano floored the throttle, backed the speedboat up, and then charged forward with all his might—"Bang!"
With a loud crash, Zhu Yiwen was knocked off the speedboat and fell into the sea.
"Help..."
A group of sharks silently swarmed over, and soon the seawater turned red!
Yano was pulled onto the cruise ship, and the bag filled with money and jewelry that Zhu Yiwen had risked his life to grab was also brought onto the ship.
Wang Yong told Yano: "Brother, Yafei has been rescued, but the Pirates got away."
"Mm, as long as she is rescued, that's good."
The cruise ship headed back, and when it returned to the Fishing Village, the shore was quiet, with a young man looking out in anticipation.
The villagers were gathered at Yafei's house; Yafei's mother was failing.
As soon as Yafei was sent home, she locked herself in her room and wouldn't see anyone!
She wouldn't even see her parents.
Her daughter had been abducted by Pirates; even if she didn't say it, the old woman could guess what she might have suffered.
The mother was afraid she would do something desperate and wanted to comfort her.
"Fei'er, open the door. Fei'er, it's Mom. Open the door, let Mom come in and stay with you, okay..."
There was not a sound inside, as if there were no one there.
Lao Ya Tou just sighed and said repeatedly: "What a tragedy."
No matter how the old woman knocked on the door or what she said outside, there was not the slightest sound inside.
The mother was truly worried, so she called for a young man from the village to come and kick the door open.
The door opened, and a Rope was tied to the beam; Yafei was just sticking her head into the noose...
"Fei'er, you mustn't do anything foolish!" After the old woman shouted, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, fainting.
She was old and couldn't handle such a shock.
Everyone rushed in and scrambled to pull Yafei down; because her mother had fainted, Yafei naturally couldn't continue to seek death.
They immediately started trying to save the old woman; she had already been shocked by Yafei's situation and was quite ill.
Now, having seen her daughter hanging herself with her own eyes, the intense shock made her condition even worse.
The doctor examined her, sighed, and said to Lao Ya Tou: "Prepare for the funeral; she won't make it through the night."
Just at this moment, the cruise ship returned.
Yano got off the cruise ship, and the young man pulled him and ran: "Village Chief, you've finally returned. Hurry home and take a look, your mother is not going to make it."
Thus, the two of them sprinted all the way, rushing home.
When the villagers saw Yano had returned, they immediately cleared a path. He reached the old lady and held his mother's icy hand: "Mom, Mom, why have you become like this? I will take you to the hospital right away, right now!"
His mother's face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, her breath as thin as a gossamer thread; she was already only exhaling and not inhaling.
She heard her son's cries and struggled to open her eyes.
Her lips moved several times, as if she wanted to speak.
"Mom, what do you want to say? Take your time."
The old lady grabbed Yano's hand, while her other hand struggled to grasp at the air a few times.
The villagers watching from the side hurriedly pushed Yafei, who was crying like a tear-drenched person, over to let her hold her mother's hand.
The old lady placed the two of them's hands together and used all her remaining strength to shout: "Be together, forever!"
The mother's hand dropped powerlessly, and her eyelids closed forever.
"Mom—"
Yafei knelt down by her mother's bed, knocking her head hard against the edge of the bed, crying and begging her mother to take her along.
Shi Youxuan, with her big belly, stood at the doorway.
Zhang Ma supported her: "Eldest Young Mistress, we should go out; this place is not suitable for you to stay."
"Mm."
The two of them went out. The villagers were all busy arranging the funeral, and the village was not a suitable place to stay, so they returned to the cruise ship.
The cruise ship was docked not far from the Fishing Village.
With the funeral being held in the village, it could be seen clearly from the cruise ship.
Shi Youxuan had been sitting on the deck for a long time.
When her son protested, she would stand up and walk around, and when she was tired of walking, she would sit back down; in any case, she would not return to the cabin.
Zhang Ma tried to persuade her once more: "Eldest Young Mistress, you should go back to the cabin to rest. Rest assured, as soon as the funeral is over, they will be able to bring Eldest Young Master back."
Shi Youxuan stared at her, watching without even blinking.
It made Zhang Ma feel flustered: "Eldest Young Mistress, why are you staring at me like that?"
Shi Youxuan said calmly: "Zhang Ma, do you believe the words you just said yourself?"
Zhang Ma:...
Fine, she didn't believe them either.
Isn't it said that pregnancy makes a woman foolish for three years?
How is it that the Eldest Young Mistress doesn't seem foolish at all?
Zhang Ma felt that it was not a good thing for a woman to be too clear-headed.
She couldn't even manage to comfort her.
Wang Yong and Lao Qi were helping in the village; though they said they were helping, in reality, they were also keeping an eye on Sheng Hanyu, fearing he would continue to be brainwashed by the villagers.
The villagers were indeed doing just that.
Everyone said that the deceased are the most important, and that one cannot go back on what was promised to Yamu; Yafei had returned, and Yano still had to marry her and could not abandon her.
