No sooner had the group left than Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang quietly followed them into the cabin.
After discovering that Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang had also entered the cabin, Xixi anxiously appeared beside Old Lady Zhu.
[What should we do? Zhu Yanyan and the others have entered the cabin; Grandma will be discovered.]
Robots are all gentle, intelligent tools, not good at fighting, so they can only be used to buy time.
If Grandma were to encounter Zhu Yanyan with the little dragonfish, they would certainly be no match for each other.
Just as she was getting anxious, Old Lady Zhu heard footsteps entering the cabin.
After looking around, she quickly carried the dragon fish into one of the empty rooms and hid behind a screen.
After pulling the robot, Old Lady Zhu, into the cabin, Wen Xiuying looked flustered and whispered a reminder as she turned back.
"Madam, Zhu Yanyan has discovered us and wants me to lure you into her room so we can catch you all in one fell swoop. You need to think of something quickly!"
Despite Wen Xiuying's tone being filled with anxiety and tension, the robot Grandma Zhu beside her...
She still had a serene and peaceful demeanor, a faint smile on her face, and slowly turned her head to look at Wen Xiuya.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you. Wait for my signal and get off the ship first."
Wen Xiuying couldn't understand what Old Lady Zhu was saying, and stared at her stiff, smiling face with a puzzled look.
"And what about you? And what... what's your signal?"
The robot, Granny Zhu, did not reply to Wen Xiuya's words. Instead, she quickly turned around and pulled her towards the reception room.
No sooner had the group entered the reception room than Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang arrived outside the door, pressing their ears against it to listen.
"Grandma Wang, what are your plans to do about them?"
After confirming that there were people inside, Zhu Yanyan looked at Granny Wang with excitement.
How could Granny Wang let go of this good opportunity for revenge? She smiled evilly and took out a gourd from her waist.
Then she opened the gourd and released the insects inside. Finally, she quietly opened the door and put the insects into the room.
Like ants, insects scurried into the room. Sensing danger, the robot, Granny Zhu, stiffly turned to warn Wen Xiuying.
"run."
Wen Xiuying was stunned for a moment, then followed her gaze and saw countless small insects crawling into the house.
She was so frightened that her legs went weak. Before she could even come to her senses, the robot, Granny Zhu, had already easily lifted her up.
Then, he quickly opened the door, threw her out, and closed the door again.
Wen Xiuying staggered a few steps and rushed out of the room, knocking Zhu Yanyan to the ground.
The two fell to the ground, one on top of the other. Zhu Yanyan looked at Wen Xiuya, who had suddenly appeared, and irritably pushed her away.
Why did you come out?
Wen Xiuying felt heartbroken by Zhu Yanyan's words. She was, after all, Zhu Yanyan's mother, yet she would try to eliminate the Zhu family.
Even she didn't care and planned to leave her to die in the room.
"Yan Yan, what's in the room?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Now that you're out, just wait outside."
Zhu Yanyan didn't want to waste any more words with Wen Xiuying and observed the situation in the room with a cold face.
After a while, when she heard no sound from the room, Granny Wang quietly pushed open the door and went in.
Seeing this, Zhu Yanyan followed closely behind and entered the room.
After the two went inside, Xixi immediately flew to Grandma Zhu's side and anxiously reminded her.
Grandma, hurry up and get out of here!
What should we do? Grandma can't hear Xixi.
In order to get her grandmother to go out quickly, Xixi had no choice but to go to the wooden door and push it open forcefully.
Sure enough, after the door slowly opened, Grandma Zhu received the signal from Xixi and checked that no one was outside.
Only then did she carry the little dragon fish and leave quickly. As she left, Wen Xiuya turned her head to look at the corridor.
In an instant, their eyes met. Old Mrs. Zhu, holding the dragon fish, gestured for Wen Xiuya to lock the door.
Wen Xiuying stared blankly at Old Lady Zhu's anxious gestures, then turned to look at the people in the room with a puzzled expression.
After hesitating for a moment, she decisively closed the door, took the hairpin from her hair, and stuck it into the door knocker.
After she finished, she ran quickly towards Old Madam Zhu, "Madam, what are you doing here?"
"Let's leave here first and talk about it when we get back."
Grandma Zhu couldn't understand what Wen Xiuying was saying. Fearing that Zhu Yanyan would break down the door, she anxiously pulled Wen Xiuying away.
Before leaving, Wen Xiuya turned back to look at the empty room and asked in confusion.
"Madam, where are my sister-in-law and the others? Why haven't we seen them come out?"
"What sister-in-law? Are you confused? Hurry up and climb down, don't waste time."
Old Mrs. Zhu thought Wen Xiuya had fallen for Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang's bewitching scheme, and quickly carried the little dragon fish on her back.
Then, he urged Wen Xiuya to climb down the rope ladder.
Wen Xiuying followed Old Lady Zhu's movements with confusion, climbing down while looking into the cabin.
With each other's help, the two finally made it back to the lifeboat, and quickly rowed back to their cargo ship.
As they left, terrifying screams echoed through the drawing room.
After Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang entered the room, they found that they did not see Old Lady Zhu and the others inside.
Instead, they were bitten by the insects released from the gourd.
They all frantically grabbed at their bodies; there were so many insects, all as small as ants, that they couldn't deal with them in time.
In an attempt to stop the insects from eating her flesh, Zhu Yanyan knocked over a fire lamp and tried to drive them away with the flames.
The oil lamp fell to the ground and instantly burst into flames, which burned the insects and also attacked Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang.
As soon as Grandma Zhu and Wen Xiuying arrived at the cargo ship, they discovered that Zhu Yanyan's boat was engulfed in flames.
"What happened? Why is it on fire?"
Wen Xiuying stared in astonishment at the raging fire on the sea, her face filled with anxiety.
Thinking that her daughter was still on the boat, she quickly turned around, grasped Old Lady Zhu's hand, and solemnly gave her instructions.
"Madam, I entrust Zinan to your care. Yanyan is also my child; I cannot stand by and watch her die."
After saying that, she resolutely returned to the lifeboat and rowed towards the burning ship.
Grandma Zhu wanted to dissuade Wen Xiuying, but when she found that Wen Xiuying was determined, she could only sigh helplessly.
With the help of Liu and Sun, they carried the little dragonfish back to the cargo ship.
"Mother, the second son and the others are about to collapse."
Before Old Lady Zhu could even catch her breath, she heard Mrs. Sun, looking flustered, come to her and report on the situation on the deck.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhu quickly picked up the little dragonfish and hurried towards the deck.
As soon as they arrived on the deck, they saw Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang, both of whom were seriously injured but still stubbornly resisting the attack of the dragon fish.
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhu quickly came to Wang Haocheng and Chen Xiang with the little dragon fish in her arms and loudly scolded the dragon fish.
"Don't move, the little dragonfish you're looking for is here."
As she spoke, she opened the blanket, revealing the little dragonfish inside.
After seeing that the baby dragonfish was safe and sound, the adult dragonfish were all excited and wanted to rush forward to take the baby dragonfish back.
However, Old Mrs. Zhu reached out and stopped them, explaining sternly.
“We didn’t capture the little dragon fish, and we won’t harm the child. I only ask that you let us go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragonfish stopped their attack and expressionlessly reached out to the little dragonfish in Old Lady Zhu's arms.
Grandma Zhu didn't know if the dragonfish had understood her, but things had already progressed to this point.
She had no choice but to give it a try.
Thinking of this, she put the little dragonfish in her arms on the ground, gently stroked its head, and softly encouraged it.
"You're safe now, go find your parents."
