Yu Zihan opened her eyes and found herself in a small space, surrounded by darkness that made it almost impossible for her to breathe. She tried to turn around, but found that her body was confined to a narrow wooden box and she couldn't move.
Faint light filtered through the cracks in the wooden planks. Yu Zihan struggled to turn her head, carefully observing her surroundings. She was surrounded by sacks filled with goods, stacked high and low, forming a narrow and crowded space.
She touched the sack with her arm and felt that it was filled with hard stones. The sharp edges of the stones hurt her and she realized that she was trapped in a box full of stones.
From this wobbling feeling, Yu Zihan concluded that she was now on a boat. In this small and cramped environment, Yu Zihan could not help but feel fear and uneasiness. She recalled their experience at Yu's house and realized that she had been careless.
The Yu family had set this trap, and out of their ridiculous kindness and gratitude, they had happily fallen into the devil's trap. She didn't regret their kindness, but simply underestimated Yu Haoting's cunning. Yu Zihan felt her heartbeat quicken. She tried to calm down, thinking about how to escape this predicament.
She let her consciousness enter the space, and fortunately, it was still usable. Yu Zihan felt a sense of relief. As long as the space was in hand, she would have the confidence to go anywhere. Above her head, she heard a chattering voice, and she was stunned. They were actually speaking Cantonese. She knew some Cantonese in her previous life, but she was not so proficient, and could only understand it.
She began to think about her situation. Could it be that they had brought her aboard the ship, and then...
Yu Zihan couldn't imagine that many people were now sneaking into Hong Kong, but most of them were there voluntarily. They believed that Hong Kong was a place full of gold and anyone who went there could make a fortune.
She was baffled as to why Yu Haoting had smuggled her into Hong Kong.
Yu Zihan was worried about her parents, wondering how they were doing. Were they aboard the same ship as her? She thought about it carefully and decided that this was unlikely. Yu Haoting didn't dare to touch Pei Xiao lightly. Given Pei Xiao's status, if he were in danger, the country would take him seriously. If he did so, he would be digging his own grave.
Yu Meijuan wouldn't be in such danger, because Yu Haoting's ultimate goal was to get the box. As long as he didn't find it, Yu Meijuan would be safe. Judging from Yu Haoting's desperate behavior, it seemed that he already knew the secret of the box, and what was in the box was what he was eager to get, otherwise he wouldn't take such a risk.
Yu Zihan's analysis was correct. After Yu Haoting knocked several people unconscious, he separated Yu Zihan from them, intending to use Zihan to threaten Yu Meijuan.
They woke Yu Meijuan up.
Yu Meijuan opened her eyes in a daze and saw Yu Haoting sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, while she was lying on the ground in a mess. Pei Xiao was also lying on the ground, but there was no sign of her daughter.
"Where did you take Zi Han?" Yu Meijuan shouted in fear and anger, but she had just woken up from a coma, and her voice was very weak, like a mosquito or fly, and there was no deterrent effect at all.
"It's easy to find out where your daughter is. Hand over the box, and she'll be back safe and sound. Otherwise..." Yu Haoting stood up, walked over to Yu Meijuan, and gave her a sharp kick. The already frail Yu Meijuan collapsed to the ground again. She regretted her indecision, failing to see through the Yu family's schemes and their true colors, causing her lover and husband to suffer.
She began to hate her biological parents in her heart. Since they wanted to escape from here, why didn't they take the box with them? If they didn't want to take it with them, why didn't they hide it? Why did they put such a hot potato in her hands? Didn't they think they had suffered enough?
"Can't bear to part with it? Because of this thing, you don't even care about your daughter's life and safety? You always say that you love your daughter, but I think it's nothing more than this, right?" Yu Haoting's words brought Yu Meijuan's thoughts back to reality.
"I told you to hand it over to me, please return my daughter to me." At this time, Yu Meijuan was only thinking about the inheritance of the Yu family and the safety of her daughter.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Miss Yu to be such a loyal and righteous person. Since you're so understanding, I won't make things difficult for you. Just hand over the box to me, and I'll release your family of three, and we'll have no further ties from now on." Yu Haoting's tone was lighthearted. If he could get the box, not only would his predicament be immediately resolved, but his dreams would also come true. This was truly a joyous occasion. His tone towards Meijuan had become much gentler.
"Then tell me where that thing is quickly?" Yu Haoting looked at Yu Meijuan anxiously.
"I..." Yu Meijuan only then remembered that the thing was not on her body, but in that special place on her daughter. How could this be explained? Her daughter's secret could not be told to anyone else, and she could not reveal her daughter's secret even if she died.
"Don't try to play tricks." Seeing Yu Meijuan's hesitation, Yu Haoting thought that Yu Meijuan had changed her mind. What a joke! He, an outsider, knew what getting the box meant. He didn't believe that Yu Meijuan, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, would not know. Faced with such a great temptation, everyone would waver.
Yu Meijuan had an idea: "Let my daughter go and let her wake up. I have something to say to her. As long as my husband and my daughter are by my side and safe and sound, I will tell you." Yu Meijuan thought, how about handing the thing over to this person after her daughter wakes up. She didn't want to be led by the nose by this dead thing anymore, and she also decided not to meet her biological parents again.
"You're dreaming! I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin." Yu Haoting thought Yu Meijuan was stalling for time. He'd seen this trick so many times that he wouldn't fall for it.
He pondered for a moment and had Pei Xiao woken up. Just like Yu Zihan thought, he didn't want to provoke Pei Xiao, and he didn't want to get into trouble just yet. He felt that as long as Yu Zihan was in his hands, they wouldn't refuse his terms.
Pei Xiao opened his eyes in a daze and saw Yu Meijuan. Then he looked around and there was no sign of his daughter.
"Yu Haoting, please return my daughter to me." He spoke with undisguised urgency, which only solidified Yu Haoting's decision.
"I know you can't bear to part with that thing, but compared with this thing, your daughter's safety and life are at your own risk. I don't think you will be stupid enough to call the police for your daughter's life. Let me tell you, as long as you call the police, I will kill your daughter immediately. Go back and think about it." Yu Haoting said and left.
