Chapter 174 Old Lady Zhu's Sneak Attack on Zhu Yanyan's Boat



Granny Wang had lived most of her life, so how could she not know what Zhu Yanyan was thinking?

The old man's revenge is still pending; if Zhu Yanyan were to easily obtain leverage over controlling the dragon fish...

Given Zhu Yanyan's cunning nature and tendency to betray those she has helped at any time, she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

In order to complete her plan smoothly, Zhu Yanyan did not intend to break off relations too early, and simply smiled as she looked at the ships opposite her.

Xixi witnessed their entire conversation and finally understood why the dragon fish had suddenly become so irritable.

Unlike other groups, the Jiaoyu clan takes two to three years to produce a new generation of Jiaoyu each time.

Each baby dragonfish is an extremely precious offspring to the adult dragonfish, and the dragonfish protect the next generation.

They are willing to give their lives to protect the little dragonfish.

Xixi became increasingly anxious when she realized that these dragonfish had come with a purpose.

What to do? The little dragonfish is in Zhu Yanyan's hands.

If an adult dragonfish can't find baby dragonfish, will it hunt and kill everyone?

No, Xixi must stop the adult dragonfish from attacking.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.

Just as Xixi was sleeping alone, Madam Liu frowned and looked down at her daughter, feeling anxious and uneasy.

"Mother, what should we do? There are more and more dragonfish."

Sun kept going back and forth between the cabin and the deck, after she dragged back the last team member.

She approached Old Lady Zhu in a flustered manner, panting as she spoke.

Hearing the sound, Old Lady Zhu looked at the churning dragonfish on the deck, slung her crossbow over her shoulder, and came out of the cabin to look at the surrounding situation.

She unexpectedly discovered a faint light in the sea about three kilometers away from the cargo ship.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, come quick and see, is there a light over there?"

Upon hearing this, Liu quickly got up and left the cabin, following her mother-in-law's finger to look at the light.

"Mother, there is indeed a light. Could it be a fishing boat nearby? Should we send out a signal flare for help?"

Grandma Zhu hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the lifeboat and said, "No need, I'll go check what's going on. You wait here for me."

"Mother, how can we let you go? What if they are pirates?" Madam Liu knew the situation of the ship and naturally did not want her mother-in-law to risk going.

Old Lady Zhu knew perfectly well that the boat in front of her belonged to Zhu Yanyan, but she was afraid that if she didn't board the boat, she wouldn't be able to rescue the little dragonfish.

Then everyone was doomed. The men fought bravely against the enemy on the deck, while the eldest son's wife took Xixi with her.

The second son's wife is pregnant, and the third son's wife and the eldest son have to take care of the injured team members.

There are very few people left who can help, so only this old woman can go there herself.

Just as the two were at an impasse, Wen Xiuying suddenly stood up and looked at Old Lady Zhu shakily.

"Madam, I'll go with you."

Grandma Zhu was surprised that Wen Xiuying would take the initiative to go, considering that she was Zhu Yanyan's mother.

Even if the two are eventually discovered, Zhu Yanyan might still give them a break for Wen Xiuying's sake.

With this in mind, she had no choice but to nod in agreement to Wen Xiuying's request.

"Okay, but you must remember to listen to me no matter what happens."

"Don't worry, Madam! I'll do anything you ask as long as Zinan can live."

Wen Xiuying understood better than anyone that if she wanted to survive, she had to obediently follow Old Lady Zhu's arrangements.

Old Mrs. Zhu was satisfied with Wen Xiuya's understanding of the bigger picture and handed her the crossbow and dagger.

"This equipment should be enough, let's go."

Wen Xiuying, who had never killed anyone before, took the crossbow and dagger with trembling hands, gritted her teeth and nodded.

To cover Old Lady Zhu's journey to the escape boat, everyone relentlessly fired crossbow bolts at the dragonfish on the deck.

With the help of others, Grandma Zhu and Wen Xiuying successfully boarded the escape boat and left.

As the two left, Xixi's consciousness also emerged from the space and followed beside Old Lady Zhu.

Although each time they leave the space, they only have a short time before they have to go back into the space.

She can come out again, and she's willing to go back and forth several times just to protect her grandmother.

While Xixi was still in a daze, Old Lady Zhu had already rowed her boat to Zhu Yanyan's side.

Just then, Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang were standing on the deck, looking ahead, and the two were chatting and laughing.

"Grandma Wang, you can rest assured! The Zhu family is doomed this time."

Although it was a done deal, Granny Wang was still worried that something might change, and she watched with a grim face as the dragon fish continued to attack the boat.

Upon hearing Zhu Yanyan's words, Old Lady Zhu's expression immediately turned serious, and her sharp eyes signaled Wen Xiuying to remain silent.

Wen Xiuying never imagined that all of this was her own daughter's doing, and she shook her head frantically, completely bewildered.

Grandma Zhu had no intention of wasting words with Wen Xiuying at the moment, and gestured for her to row and hide in the corner of the boat.

Xi Xi followed closely behind, observing the situation of the boat, and took out a hemp rope whip from her bracelet to form steps.

The steps were firmly hooked onto the boat, and then it kept floating back and forth in front of Grandma's eyes.

Grandma, look! There are stairs we can climb up.

Grandma Zhu, who was initially worried about not being able to board the boat, was relieved after hearing her granddaughter's suggestion.

She quickly looked around the boat and sure enough, she saw the ladder ropes that were firmly attached to the hull.

In order to prevent Zhu Yanyan from discovering their whereabouts, Wen Xiuying held the ladder rope steady on the lifeboat.

Grandma Zhu was the first to climb onto the deck, followed by Wen Xiuya.

After a short while, with the help of Wen Xiuya, Grandma Zhu finally climbed onto the deck.

Old Mrs. Zhu stared intently at Zhu Yanyan, who had her back to her, and frantically shook the ladder rope, signaling Wen Xiuying to board the boat.

When Wen Xiuying saw the rope on the steps swaying, she quickly climbed up the rope.

However, just as Wen Xiuying was about to climb onto the cargo ship, Zhu Yanyan suddenly frowned and looked at Granny Wang with a puzzled expression.

"Grandma Wang, do you feel like something's off around you?"

"Oh no, Grandma! Run! Zhu Yanyan is about to find you!"

Grandma Zhu was also worried that Zhu Yanyan would turn back; she had originally planned to wait for Wen Xiuying.

After struggling for a while, she finally waved to Wen Xiuya, who was climbing up, signaling her not to come up.

After giving the hint, she quickly turned and ran towards the cabin.

Just as she ran towards the cabin, Granny Wang turned around and looked around, but found nothing unusual.

"Yan Yan, are you being too sensitive?"

Zhu Yanyan trusted her intuition, and in order to verify her idea, she carefully observed everything around her.

Finally, they discovered two hooks hanging on the ship. This ship was a smart cargo ship, and disembarking was done via elevators.

There are no hooks at all, and they certainly won't get caught on a ship.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, so she squinted and walked towards the direction of the ship.

Granny Wang also sensed something was wrong. She pulled out a packet of poison from her waist, her face fierce, and slowly approached after them.

Wen Xiuying, who was still climbing up, did not understand Old Lady Zhu's hint at all, just as she was about to board the boat.

Zhu Yanyan held a sharp sword to her face. Looking at the sword, her heart skipped a beat, and she slowly raised her head.

Zhu Yanyan also recognized the person on the ladder rope when Wen Xiuya looked up.

"Wen Xiuya?"

"Yan Yan...can I go up first? My legs are too weak."

Wen Xiuying awkwardly tilted her head back and gave Zhu Yanyan a forced smile. Her foot slipped, and she almost fell into the sea.

Although Zhu Yanyan disliked Wen Xiuya, she was, after all, the original owner's mother, so she could only wave her hand at her irritably.

"Come on up!"
