Chapter 88 Ultimately, not as ruthless as the enemy.

"Shi Yu, you know what you mean!"

After coldly uttering those words, Lu Yizhou turned and left.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped.

"I'll have Uncle Hao look for you tomorrow morning..."

Considering all that Shi Yu had done for the island, he decided to help her one last time.

As for whether she lives or dies in the future, it's none of my business anymore.

Shi Yu frowned.

She looked at Lu Yizhou's back, puzzled and confused.

What's wrong with this man these past two days?

That's enough!

She has other more important things to do, so she's not thinking about it for now.

...

The next day was a public holiday on Black Mountain Island.

After breakfast, Huang Ying washed clothes in the yard.

"Mother! Mother!" Suddenly, a soft chirping of crickets called out to her.

Huang Ying subconsciously looked towards the door.

Shi Nian was seen peeking out from behind the large iron gate, his head sticking out halfway, and furtively peering into the courtyard.

Huang Ying paused, then suddenly saw Shi Nian, and her feelings were complicated.

She was surnamed Shi after all, and ever since she had a falling out with the Shi family, her son, whom she was pregnant with for ten months, had become her adversary.

I resent her, I hate her.

He treated her mother with disdain.

It had been so long since she had called herself "Mother," and even Huang Ying herself couldn't remember.

"What's wrong?" Huang Ying pursed her lips.

"Mother, come here, come up to me!" Shi Jian beckoned to Huang Ying.

Huang Ying hesitated for a moment.

She threw the clothes in her hands into the basin, stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked towards him. "What is it? Tell me!"

"Mother, did you see the girl in the red dress who came to the island yesterday?"

"I saw it!"

"I accidentally took advantage of her."

"What?"

Huang Ying was taken aback.

How could he dare to... such a thing as innocence and reputation being so important to a girl...

"You scoundrel, how could you do such a thing?" In her anger, Huang Ying raised her hand and slapped Shi Nian several times.

Shi Nian immediately became impatient.

Feeling unhappy, he instinctively tried to push Huang Ying.

But then he suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip, and at the last moment he held back.

"Mother, you're my own mother! You have to help me with this!" Shi Nian coaxed pitifully in a low voice.

"How can I help you!" Huang Ying said, exasperated.

"Go and apologize to that girl properly, and try to persuade her not to do anything rash. I've arranged to meet her at the public well tonight at eight o'clock. Mom, you go there then!"

"this……"

Huang Ying pursed her lips.

Ultimately, it's still her son. She, as his mother, also bears responsibility for the mistakes he's made, so she can't just ignore it.

"Alright!" Huang Ying finally agreed.

Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he deliberately instructed, "By the way, Mother, don't tell Shiyu about this. We don't get along anyway, and if she finds out, who knows what she'll think of me."

Huang Ying nodded.

Watching Shi Nian leave, Huang Ying sighed softly and shook her head heavily.

But as he turned around, he looked up and suddenly saw Shi Yu standing under the eaves.

Huang Ying's eyelids twitched.

Unsure when Shi Yu had arrived or whether she had overheard her conversation with Shi Nian, she tentatively asked, "Yu Yu, why are you out here?"

"Mother! I think I heard voices just now. Is someone coming?" Shi Yu asked instead of answering, her delicate little face flawless.

"No...no..." Huang Ying's eyes flickered. "Someone just passed by our door..."

"oh!"

Shi Yu didn't say anything more, but a hint of helplessness appeared in her slightly lowered eyes.

A day passes in the blink of an eye, and soon it's evening.

After dinner, Huang Ying clutched the hem of her clothes and said somewhat awkwardly to Shi Yu, "Yu Yu, if you're sleepy, go to bed early. I'm going to talk to your Aunt Zhang for a while."

"good!"

Shi Yu smiled at Huang Ying.

only……

The smile faded the moment Huang Ying turned around.

Then, Shi Yu slowly got up and followed Huang Ying out the door without making a sound.

...

Huang Ying felt like a thief, and arrived at her destination with trepidation.

Because the well was dug in the cellar in the backyard of the Shi family, it has now been divided in two and separated by a high wall, becoming two different areas from the Shi family's home.

The girl in the red dress was standing next to the well.

“Miss…” Huang Ying stepped forward with a forced smile.

"You must be Shi Nian's mother!" The girl in the red dress glanced at Huang Ying, her attitude somewhat arrogant.

"Yes!" Huang Ying nodded, and said apologetically, "This was all that rascal Shi Nian's fault. Auntie apologizes to you on his behalf..."

"Wait!" The woman in the red dress interrupted Huang Ying. "Let's talk over there."

"good!"

Since they were in the wrong to begin with, Huang Ying had no choice but to agree.

She obediently walked to the side with the girl in the red dress.

Soon, Shi Yu arrived.

At this moment, there was no one around the well; it was empty except for the faint howling of the wind echoing in my ears.

When acting, you have to go all the way.

Naturally, the other party knew to use her closest people to lure her into the trap, so she couldn't let them down.

So the next moment, Shi Yu pretended to be anxiously looking around for Huang Ying.

Behind her, a furtive figure quietly approached Shi Yu.

That year.

His expression was cold, and he was holding a brick in his right hand, staring intently at Shi Yu without blinking.

Shi Yu glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye.

She curled her lips into a cold laugh.

Anticipate the opponent's anticipation.

Shi Yu was confident in his reaction speed and skills, so he was sure he could skillfully dodge when Shi Nian slammed the brick at him.

At the same time, it creates the illusion of being hit.

But then, Huang Ying's painful scream suddenly rang out, "Ah!"

Caught completely off guard, Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Just as she was distracted and her thoughts were caught up in something else, the brick from Shi Nian arrived behind her.

He hated her.

He hated her for causing chaos in the family and for hurting the girl he loved.

So, this brick, though not exactly a kill shot, was filled with a chilling aura and slammed hard into the back of Shi Yu's head.

Shi Yu was taken aback.

Although they managed to dodge, they were still a step too late.

Bang!

The back of my neck and shoulder area were hit.

After a painful groan, Shi Yu felt dizzy and her body sway as pain surged through her.

In the end, it collapsed limply to the ground.

"Hmph! Trying to fight us? You don't know your own limitations!" Shi Nian threw down the brick in his hand, and then kicked Shi Yu twice in a smug way.
