Chapter 939 Home Visit
There are many people like Yao Xiuting. Some people are not unaware that what they are doing is wrong, but they take chances and think that they are just one of tens or hundreds of billions of people, and it is no big deal to indulge once or twice.
Little do people know that small things add up. If one person thinks this way, and two people think this way, one throws away a plastic bottle, and another throws away a plastic bag or an aluminum can. When they fall into the river, they will eventually form a vast ocean.
Of course, there is a difference between intentional and unintentional littering. Someone like Yao Xiuting, who intentionally litters, is given a free one-night tour based on her personal experience.
If they truly repent, that's fine; if not, many more 3D holographic experiences await them.
Those who unintentionally cause marine pollution, or even harm nature and living beings, will also witness the heartbreaking consequences that their discarded items may cause by mistake.
Over the course of several days, many people were tormented by the recurring nightmares that appeared every night. At first, no one noticed anything amiss, but as they discussed it more, many realized that something was wrong.
The discussion about the sea monster has resurfaced, with many viewing it as nature's punishment of humanity. However, what they don't know is that these anomalies actually stem from a private contract.
The few remaining souls departed voluntarily that day, avoiding any fighting or casualties, and naturally could no longer harm Ye Wanxi and the other person.
Ye Wanxi's recent weakness is due to the enormous energy required to complete this contract.
Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. Apart from a few people who were beyond help and would probably struggle in nightmares forever, most people did reflect on their experiences.
Ye Wanxi doesn't expect these people to change their attitudes or become protectors of the natural environment because of this incident. She only hopes that when they throw away trash in the future, they will think of this dream that once moved them for a moment, so that they will have reverence for life and make the right choice.
However, if Yao Xiuting is in such a state, then the culprits who caused the severe pollution must be even more so.
Xiao Baihui didn't understand the meaning of Ye Wanxi's words at first. However, a few days later, the old friends who were in charge of the negotiations told him that the few who had been making the most noise and demanding compensation from them had all suddenly fallen silent.
Upon inquiring, it turned out that these people had been caught in a vicious cycle of misfortune ever since they asked for compensation.
Specifically, this manifests as choking while eating, choking while drinking water, falling downstairs, being bumped into while going out...
The poor souls, who had been having a string of bad luck for several days and had suffered countless blows in life, indignantly insisted that this was a vicious curse they had cast to evade responsibility.
Despite their anger, these people didn't dare leave their homes, fearing another accident and having their bruised and battered faces photographed and made public. They were unable to do anything that would cause any real harm to the country.
After learning about these events, Xiao Baihui finally understood why Ye Wanxi had only instructed them to try their best to delay. The single word "delay" was enough to make these people give up on their own.
While inwardly marveling at Ye Wanxi's "foresight," Xiao Baihui couldn't help but feel smug, wishing he could immediately run out and buy a hundred or so fireworks to celebrate.
Thanks to the efforts of all parties involved, the ferry crossing issue gradually subsided.
However, the Qiu family gained a deeper understanding of Ye Wanxi and her companion's abilities as a result. On that day, Uncle Ke led Ye Wanxi and her companion to the ferry to find the problematic cargo ship.
Afterwards, although Uncle Ke was unable to board the ship with Ye Wanxi and the other person, he was fortunate enough to be the closest to witness the whole process.
So much so that Uncle Ke, who prided himself on having traveled all over the country and seen many big scenes, was completely dumbfounded when he returned.
As an eyewitness at the scene, Uncle Ke was inevitably pulled aside by Captain Liu's men before leaving and made to sign a confidentiality agreement, requiring him to forget everything he saw and heard that day and not to tell anyone.
Uncle Ke was not an unreasonable person. Even if he didn't sign the confidentiality agreement, he never thought of telling a second person about it.
It's always better to say more than you mean, as it can lead to mistakes and trouble.
But just because he didn't say it didn't mean the Qiu family couldn't guess.
Sometimes, the things that cannot be said are the closest to the truth.
That night, Ye Wanxi and her companion accidentally bumped into the cargo ship because of them, but the three of them never returned.
The next morning, they heard about the commotion at the ferry. Although there was no concrete evidence that the monster was related to Ye Wanxi and her companion, the Qiu family naturally associated the matter with them.
Especially after that, they learned that Ye Wanxi seemed to be unwell these past few days and had been resting at home without going out, which further confirmed their guess.
The Qiu family visited Ye Wanxi on the day Qiu Zhiming was discharged from the hospital.
When they arrived, they brought a lot of supplements and rare items in large bags, and of course, they didn't forget the check they had agreed to beforehand.
As soon as they entered the room, Ye Wanxi noticed Qiu Zhiming, who no longer needed to stay in bed.
"Although Mr. Qiu's complexion has improved a lot, he still looks a bit sickly. How come he can be discharged from the hospital so soon?"
When Aunt Qiu asked about it, she smiled and said, "The hospital doesn't recommend being discharged so early, but this child insisted that he was fine and wanted to be discharged. He had a full check-up, and there really wasn't anything wrong. We also thought that the hospital was too crowded and not as convenient as home, so we brought him out first."
In fact, what the Qiu family thought was that although Ye Wanxi had destroyed the brocade pouch, Qiu Zhiming would not suddenly fall seriously ill for no reason again.
But hospitals have a lot of patients and a lot of illness. Considering that Qiu Zhiming had fallen ill and almost lost his life because of this illness, it's best to leave the hospital as soon as possible.
After explaining, Aunt Qiu asked with concern, "Miss Ye doesn't look too well. Have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Ye Wanxi glanced at the tonics brought by the Qiu family and smiled, saying, "The weather has been changing a lot lately, and it's easy to catch a cold. It's nothing, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
The Qiu family members realized that Ye Wanxi didn't intend to talk about this anymore, so they wisely refrained from asking any further questions and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That's good."
Ye Wanxi glanced at Qiu Zhiming and Yan Yuchen, her eyes flickering slightly, and asked curiously, "Mr. Qiu's health is fine now, but I wonder about the Wang family..."
When Aunt Qiu heard Ye Wanxi suddenly ask about the situation of her family, she was slightly taken aback, and her mood suddenly became somewhat depressed.
