Chapter 318: Accidental Meeting with Father-in-law and Mother-in-law_1
Tang Zhou had already memorized Ye Junqing’s words by heart, and kept them in mind!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have swallowed his pride and brought Leng Chenmo home to recuperate.
Standing aside, Ji Qishu couldn’t help but rubbing his forehead in secret, refusing to look at Junqing’s expression. Indeed, you always have to pay your debts when you’re dealing with outsiders!
Given the current situation, even if Lord Junqing doesn’t want to compromise, he’s expected to sacrifice himself for political reasons. Or is he going to tell Lord Ting that he doesn’t want to marry Xia Yanyan, and urge him to give up running for the presidency?
Could Lord Junqing be able to make that request?
Ye Xingguang returned empty-handed, only to run into pirates robbing a cruise ship on her journey back!
It was said that piracy had been rampant in recent years, with news reports suggesting that even military ships were being robbed. Ye Xingguang had never encountered such a situation before. Yet ironically, she bumped into it today, with guns being fired in the distance.
A dozen or so speedboats were all filled with masked pirates holding guns. Some were even standing on the cruise ship, joyously throwing bags of things from the cruise ship onto the speedboats.
Although it was too far to see clearly what was being thrown, a little thought made it obvious that it must be valuable items.
A chilling light flashed across Ye Xingguang’s eyes: “Well, you dare to rob right under my nose. Brother Xia, head towards them.”
If she hadn’t seen it, it would have been fine. But now that she had witnessed the pirates robbing a cruise ship, she could never stand by and do nothing!
“Miss, forget it. We are outnumbered, we should take a detour.”
Otherwise, he alone couldn’t ensure her safety.
“Go there, my mood is not that good and I need something to vent on!”
If the pirates wanted to draw the ire of her gun, she would be happy to oblige!
Unfortunately, Xia Ye Zhao ignored her and had already changed direction, refusing to allow her, a fragile young lady, to take risks.
“Brother Xia, what are you doing? You were supposed to head towards them, why did you change direction? If you keep this up, I’ll knock you out and take the pirates on myself.”
This was a cruise ship carrying tourists. Most of the people on board were tourists. Although there were many of them, no one dared to act rashly in the face of armed pirates. In the end, they handed over money or jewellery, feeling extremely humiliated. A few who tried to resist were shot and injured. In front of a weapon, it is not shameful to be submissive.
“Anyone who hasn’t handed over money yet, hand it over. Squat down, hold your heads high. If you don’t obey, you will end up like them, understood?”
A cocky pirate kicked a sailor lying on the deck. Although he was not dead, he was shot.
At this moment, the brutal pirates targeted an elegant middle-aged lady. He walked over to her impatiently, raising his gun: “Take off the pearl necklace around your neck and put it in the sack. Hurry up and don’t dawdle, otherwise…”
The affluent middle-aged woman couldn’t bear such humiliation. The lady of the Ye’s family was facing a gunpoint. She wouldn’t accept this, and her husband wouldn’t tolerate it!
Ye Baixiu, who had been dominating for many years, didn’t expect to run into such trouble while touring the world with his wife after retirement.
His cold, sharp eyes glared at the pirate, unable to suppress his rage. He wanted to fight against the pirates, but was stopped by his wife. Bai Peiluan cherished her pearl necklace, but she didn’t want her husband to take risks.
“I’ll remove it. Here, it’s yours. We have given you everything valuable. We have nothing else.”
After tossing the pearl necklace into the sack, Bai Peiluan pulled the rage-filled Ye Baixiu away: “Forget it, Baixiu, it’s just a pearl necklace. They have guns, let’s not resist. It’s not worth it if we get hurt.”
