Xu Jie seemed to have largely believed Lin Chuxia's words: "How does Madam Gu plan to help me?"
Lin Chuxia seemed to ponder for a moment before answering him, "Torturing someone and making them wish they were dead is the greatest revenge. Gu Yuheng is used to living a life of luxury and being admired by everyone. In my opinion, making him go from being extremely wealthy to having nothing is the greatest punishment for him."
"That makes sense. So, Mrs. Gu, what do you think we should do next?"
Before Lin Chuxia could reply, Gu Jiu's weak voice rang out: "Young Madam... how could you betray Third Master..."
Lin Chuxia slightly turned her gaze away, avoiding Gu Jiu's angry eyes: "Don't talk like I have such a good relationship with your Third Master. How could this be considered betrayal?"
Turning to Xu Jie, Lin Chuxia calmly analyzed, "Young Master Xu is so smart, he must have thought of the same method I've come up with. I think we can set a trap based on the agreement. Everyone says Gu Yuheng and I have a good relationship, but in reality, our relationship can't withstand much pressure. Why don't you do this, Young Master Xu..."
...
When Xu Jie finally left with his men, Lin Chuxia could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily as if she had just escaped death.
"Young Madam, are you... alright?"
At Lin Chuxia's request, Gu Jiu was left behind and was not taken away.
Although Gu Jiu was injured, he still had the strength to stand up. He got up and staggered towards Lin Chuxia.
Seeing his action, Lin Chuxia quickly stopped him: "Stop! Don't come any closer! Don't think I won't beat you up! What, in your half-dead state, you still want to avenge your master?"
Lin Chuxia kept a watchful eye on the doorway while carefully moving towards Gu Jiu. Once she got close, she quickly helped him sit down.
“Young Madam, I just sensed that they have already gone far away.” Before he was discovered, he had investigated the ship. The room they were in now was originally a storage room on the ship, far away from where those people lived.
Feeling the hand supporting her trembling slightly, Gu Jiu comforted her, "Young Madam, I'm sorry, it was our inadequate protection that frightened you... Don't be afraid, Third Master has already heard the news and will be here soon."
"Yes, I know." She had always had great faith in Gu Yuheng, believing that he would spare no effort to find her.
But before he finds them, she has to find a way to buy time and save herself. Her safety, the safety of the baby in her womb, and Gu Jiu's safety.
"Gu Jiu, are your injuries serious?"
"Young Madam, please rest assured, my injuries look terrible, but they were all done by avoiding vital points. I was faking it before." Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deal with so many people by himself.
Actually, he was only discovered by the people on the ship when the ship had just left the shore. He had originally planned to find the young mistress and take her away before the ship set sail, but he didn't expect to be discovered by accident.
He could have escaped when he was discovered. However, if he had left then, it would have been much harder for them to find the young mistress later.
It's unknown which direction this ship will take or which country it will be heading to.
So he played along, pretending to be injured and unable to defeat them, and was taken away with them.
With him by her side, the young mistress wouldn't be so lonely and afraid. He could also think of a way to escape.
Thinking it over, Gu Jiu told Lin Chuxia his plan: "Young Madam, we should at least wait until we land before we can figure out how to leave."
Unfortunately, the locator on his body was taken by those people, otherwise Third Master would have been able to find them very quickly.
...
Lin Chuxia had no idea how long they would be sailing at sea; it felt like they had been adrift at sea for a very long time.
I wonder how Gu Yuheng is doing right now.
During this time, Gu Jiu's injuries had mostly healed on their own, but when someone came, he would still pretend to be seriously injured.
But his injury has almost fully recovered, and he occasionally chats with Lin Chuxia.
It was only then that Lin Chuxia realized that their previous car accident was indeed premeditated, not an accident.
"I'm sorry, Madam, I kept it from you all this time. But please don't blame Third Master, he didn't want you to worry either," Gu Jiu explained.
"I know." They were all doing it for her own good, how could she blame them?
"Sigh," Lin Chuxia sighed.
It's really hard to say who's to blame right now.
If she had known Gu Yuheng's original purpose, and if she had known that there might be unknown dangers around, she would definitely have listened to Gu Jiu and waited for the doctor to come and examine her.
But……
Forget it, what's done is done, there's no point in digging into it anymore.
However, "Don't keep things from me anymore. I'm not as weak as you think. You can tell me all these things."
"Third Master is probably afraid that you'll worry about him." After all, what Third Master is doing also carries a certain degree of risk.
"It's better to be worried than to know nothing, at least that way I won't cause him any trouble... Forget it, I won't dwell on these things!" Right now, the most important thing is to protect myself and the baby in my womb.
For the sake of her baby's healthy development, Lin Chuxia would force herself to eat her fill at every meal, even if she had a poor appetite, and she would also force herself to sleep for more than eight hours at night.
Xu Jie seemed to have actually sent someone to check if the agreement Lin Chuxia mentioned that day existed. He came over again today, and judging from his expression, he seemed to have completely believed what she said that day.
That day, Lin Chuxia knew that she, a pregnant and weak woman, was no match for so many people on the ship. If Xu Jie and the others really insisted on forcing their way in, there might really be bloodshed that day.
She had no choice but to try to calm Xu Jie down.
For someone to truly believe your lie, there must be at least some truth in your lie.
The things she told Xu Jie before were mostly from several years ago, and only the people involved were there. She mixed the truth with lies, because even if Xu Jie really investigated, he probably wouldn't find anything.
But Xu Jie needed to find something to prove she was telling the truth. So she openly let him check if the agreement existed, without any fear, because it was indeed real. However, she didn't tell Xu Jie the other details of the agreement.
Moreover, the agreement was kept secret. If someone investigated the agreement at the most critical moment of her disappearance, it would definitely alert Gu Yuheng or her brother, and they might even be able to find them by following this lead.
Now, she only hoped that Gu Yuheng could find them quickly by following the clues. Otherwise, she worried that they would be exposed if too much time passed.
