Xie Wan Ning looked around. The room was very small, so small that there was not even a wardrobe, nor any box or other place to hide someone.

Only... there is barely enough space under the bed for someone to hide.

This was the most rudimentary wooden bed, with four pillars and a bed board, which was totally unable to cover her body properly.

Time was running out and she had no time to be picky. Xie Wan Ning didn't hesitate for long and quietly crawled under the bed.

This hiding place was extremely dangerous, and she could only pray that the three men would not look under the bed on a whim.

She had even prepared herself to be discovered, but she didn't expect that not long after she lay down, the mother of the duo, who she thought had died, turned sideways with difficulty, facing the door, as if she wanted to crawl towards her daughter.

That naked back completely covered Xie Wan Ning under the bed.

Xie Wan Ning's eyes were red, she covered her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face.

At the same moment, the sound of the door opening was heard from next door, followed by the sound of several footsteps getting closer.

It seemed like someone actually looked over here.

"Hey, that woman is still alive," the voice was a little lewd, "As expected, women are very durable and coquettish."

Judging from the tone, it seemed that he wanted to come over to vent, but was persuaded by his companions.

"Okay, it's almost dawn," the companion looked out the window and said, "Manager Li said that things that could cause death can only be done at night."

As he said this, the man even took the initiative to close the door.

Although there was such a big commotion last night that I'm afraid everyone on the ship knew about it, we still have to pretend that everything is peaceful.

After all, this passenger ship still has to pick up passengers in this area.

Xie Wan Ning knew that this was a merchant ship belonging to the Hezhou Li family. The Li family had been doing business for many years and had a great reputation. She did not expect that they would become involved with such ruffians.

I just don't know whether such evil things are just the result of the subordinates' arbitrary decisions or the boss's tacit approval. However, it doesn't matter anymore.

She hid under the bed for a while, and when she saw that the group of people did not come back, she quietly crawled out from under the bed, took the quilt from the couch, and walked to the mother in small steps.

"Are you okay?" She wanted to cover the other person with the quilt, but saw that he was looking at her daughter.

Understanding what she meant, Xie Wan Ning reached out to feel the daughter's breath.

After a long time, his fingers trembled, and he closed the other person's stiff legs, carried her to her mother, and covered them with a quilt.

"Thank you..." She couldn't hold back any longer and sobbed softly, "Thank you for saving my life. I promise you that all those people will die without a burial place, including the Li family who condoned this incident. Everyone will pay the price for what happened tonight."

Her things are not so easy to take. If those pieces of jewelry are leaked out, Lu Ziyan will know what happened tonight...

The woman turned her numb eyes towards her, tears streaming from her eyes.

Xie Wan Ning nodded hastily, "I won't lie to you, they will definitely die."

If you fall into Lu Ziyan's hands, death may be the best relief.

Having said that, Xie Wan Ning was about to help her up, but the other party just shook her head slightly.

Her voice was rough, and every word was full of tears. "I... have made up my mind to die, girl, please save your energy."

Xie Wan Ning wanted to persuade them, "In a world like this, you two mother and daughter went out alone, I think there must be something urgent. Now you are dying on the way, don't you think it's a pity?"

The woman said nothing, but raised her hands to hug her daughter, her pupils gradually dilated...

She was indeed dying.

Xie Wan Ning suppressed her tears and said, "I am alive because of your protection. If you have anything to do, I will do my best to help you." (End of this chapter)
