After Bi Qing left, Yu Shu waited anxiously in the room, afraid that Bi Qing would fail. Qiu Biao found out.
Xia Mingming cleaned herself up and changed into Yu Shu's clothes, but she still couldn't get rid of the rancid smell on her. She leaned against the headboard and looked at Yu Shu, who was restless, and Yu Xiaoxiu, who was in a daze. She turned her eyes to Jing Chen, who was sitting on the opposite bed without saying a word. She couldn't help complaining, "It's all because of this person. We are all unlucky because of him. We shouldn't have let him on board."
Jing Chen and Yu Shu looked up at her at the same time. The former was puzzled, while the latter was calm. She said, "Qiu Biao had evil intentions and planned it long ago. What does it have to do with him? If he didn't get on board, they wouldn't have hijacked the ship?"
Xia Mingming pursed her lips and didn't argue with Yu Shu. She also knew that the hijacking had nothing to do with Jing Chen. She was just angry and had nowhere to vent, so she said those angry words.
Yu Shu looked back at Jing Chen and felt suspicious. She had predicted that she and Yu Xiaoxiu would be in trouble, and she thought that Jing Chen was the cause of the disaster. But now it seemed that the hijacking had nothing to do with Jing Chen, the Bane, in terms of time. In this case, Jing Chen had been with them for so many days, but nothing bad happened to them. Compared with the disasters that happened after she met Jing Chen in Yiyang City, this peaceful phenomenon was very strange.
Qing Zheng's master once said that the person who offended Kedu Star could only get rid of the Bane by finding the Bane. Thinking of this, Yu Shu's previous suspicion arose again. Jing Chen had found the Bane.
Was it before or after the amnesia? If it was before the amnesia, there was no need to say more. If it was after the amnesia, didn't it mean that the Bane of Jing Chen was on this ship?
Yu Shu's eyelids twitched. She looked around at the people in the room. She and Yu Xiaoxiu had met Jing Chen before, so they were excluded. Xia Mingming and Jing Chen didn't have much contact, so they were excluded. Besides them, the one who had the most relationship with Jing Chen on this ship should be Bi Qing.
Jing Chen was rescued from the river because of Bi Qing. It was not wrong to say that Bi Qing was the one who destroyed Jing Chen's life. "Mingming, that morning …" Yu Shu pointed at Jing Chen. "Mingming was the first one who found him that morning?"
She still remembered that morning. She heard Xia Mingming's scream. Then she got up and saw someone fishing Jing Chen out of the river. In this way, the one who had the most relationship with Jing Chen's rescue should be Xia Mingming.
Xia Mingming didn't know why Yu Shu brought this up. She nodded reluctantly. Then she saw Yu Shu look at her strangely. "Ashu, what's wrong?"
Yu Shu looked at her and then looked at Jing Chen. Her eyes wandered back and forth between the two. She laughed dryly. "No, nothing."
The Bane of Jing Chen was probably Xia Mingming.
"It's been so long. Uncle Bi hasn't come back yet. I'll go out and take a look." Yu Shu said.
"I'll go with you." Yu Xiaoxiu said. Jing Chen also stood up.
At this time, the door rang. Hearing Bi Qing's voice, the room suddenly became quiet. Yu Shu went to open the door and saw Bi Qing standing outside in a hurry.
Yu Shu quickly let him in and closed the door. Then she turned around and asked, "How is it? Is it done?"
Bi Qing touched the sweat on her forehead. Her eyes were somewhat proud. She nodded. "It's done. He's in my room. I've tied him up and stuffed him under the bed."
"That's great!" Everyone in the room was happy. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Bi Qing didn't relax. She said cautiously, "Qiu Biao must have an accomplice on the boat. I'm not at ease with the people under him. I have to find a way to drag them out. When Qiu Biao wakes up, I'll interrogate him."
Yu Shu had an idea. She said, "Do you remember the boatman who said he saw Young Master Xia disembark last night? He must be Qiu Biao's subordinate. Capture him first. If Qiu Biao refuses to talk, we'll start with him."
Bi Qing's eyes lit up. He said, "I almost forgot about this person. Good. I'll go find a few trustworthy subordinates and prepare to capture them. After we catch them all in one fell swoop, I'll ask the helmsman to turn around and dock at the next ferry. I'm telling you guys first. If a fight breaks out, you must be careful. It's best to stay in your room and not come out."
Yu Shu nodded. "Okay. Uncle Bi, you be careful too."
"En."
Bi Qing turned around and left. As he walked to the door, he heard Yu Xiaoxiu's stomach growl. He turned around and saw the awkward expression on Yu Xiaoxiu's face. He laughed and said, "You haven't eaten lunch yet, right? I'll have someone send it up. So you don't have to go downstairs."
Yu Xiaoxiu rubbed his head. "Thank you, Uncle Bi."
Bi Qing turned around and went out the door. He closed the door behind him. Listening to Yu Shu's teasing words about Yu Xiaoxiu, the smile on his face instantly disappeared. He glanced back at the closed door and went downstairs.
Not long after Bi Qing left, a boatman sent food over. The few of them had been hungry since morning. Xia Mingming had not eaten for a day and a night. Previously, she was worried about the disaster and had no appetite. But now that the situation was under her control. She was starving.
Yu Shu thanked the boatman. She took the food from Yu Xiaoxiu and put it on the table. The food on the boat was very good. There were four dishes and one soup. There were meat and vegetables. There was also a large bowl of rice. Yu Shu handed a bowl to Xia Mingming, knowing that she was hungry.
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Kim Bao, who was kept in a bamboo cage on the bed, made a few sounds. Yu Xiaoxiu got up and went to get it. As soon as he was released, Kim Bao rushed to the table. When it was about to jump into the soup bowl, Yu Shu quickly grabbed its tail and pulled it back. Kim Bao struggled in her hands and pitifully cried, "Shut up!"
Yu Shu was unmoved. She put it on the ground, picked up a piece of meat and threw it to it. Then she ignored it and sat down to eat. When she looked up, she saw Xia Mingming eating in a hurry. Fearing that she would choke, she put down her chopsticks and poured a bowl of soup for her. "Drink the soup first."
Xia Mingming blushed. She picked up the soup bowl and embarrassedly turned her head to drink the soup.
Compared to her, Jing Chen's leisurely movements when he ate were more pleasing to the eye.
"Ouch!"
Kim Bao had been shouting under the table since a while ago. Yu Xiaoxiu bit his chopsticks and bent down to look at it. He saw that it was grabbing the tablecloth and trying to climb up, looking naughty. He was afraid that Yu Shu would teach it a lesson if she saw it, so he put down the bowl and was about to take it down. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and fell forward with the chair on the ground.
"Xiaoxiu!" Yu Shu was shocked. She hurriedly got up to help him, but she heard a "clang" sound. The bowl in Xia Mingming's hand fell to the ground. His head fell forward and he fainted on the table.
Jing Chen was stunned. He put down the bowl and stood up to look at Yu Shu.
"Mingming!"
The sudden turn of events and the scene in front of her caused Yu Shu to turn pale with fright. Just as a terrifying thought rose in her mind, she felt a wave of dizziness hit her. She swayed a few times and fell backwards. Jing Chen quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace, stepping forward to support her.
Jing Chen couldn't speak. He could only shake Yu Shu nervously and stared at her eyes that were closing more and more.
Before Yu Shu lost consciousness, she looked at the swaying faces in front of her. Her lips gently opened and closed, "In Bi Qing's room on the first floor."
Qiu Biao put down the wine glass in his hand and said hatefully, "Damn it. These little rascals almost ruined our plan."
Taking away the cup in his hand, Bi Qing coldly said, "You're the one who was careless and allowed others to get hold of your weakness. Fortunately, they trusted me and took the initiative to discuss it with me instead of revealing it. If Xu Ming knew about it, our trip would have been in vain."
Qiu Biao said gloomily, "How would I know that so many things would happen? First, someone predicted that we were going to rob the ship, and then someone came to catch the thief. If you ask me, you shouldn't have let them follow us. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much trouble."
Bi Qing said, "Letting them follow us was a show for Xu Ming. Otherwise, why would he be at ease to smuggle the goods in? The more idlers there are, the safer our caravan is. That batch of goods is more than half of Xu Ming's wealth. This is a rare opportunity, we can't miss it."
As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Biao resentfully. "I saved that person from the river so that he would be the scapegoat in the end so that we could return cleanly and not arouse suspicion. Who knew that you would throw him off the boat behind my back. Ah Biao, we have known each other for so many years. When can you use your brain? Three years ago, when we did that job in Sichuan, you almost leaked the trap. You caused us to be in trouble for the past three years.
You caused us to be afraid of being caught. "
Qiu Biao explained, "I was afraid that he would die on the ship and be unlucky and ruin our plan. You didn't tell me in advance."
"Alright," Bi Qing raised his hand and interrupted him. He stood up and said, "Come upstairs with me to take a look. They should have fallen into the trap."
Qiu Biao followed behind him. The two of them went up to the cabin on the second floor. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Bi Qing took out a dagger from his sleeve and inserted it into the gap of the door. He pushed the door open and entered with Qiu Biao. He closed the door and turned around to look at the situation in the room with a sneer.
Xia Mingming fainted on the table, Yu Xiaoxiu fell under the table, Yu Shu and Jing Chen leaned on each other and fell to the ground. All four of them were knocked out by the knockout drug in the food.
"Let's take a look." Bi Qing said cautiously.
Waving his hand to wipe away the faint rancid smell in the room, Qiu Biao bent down and checked one by one. He opened their eyelids and turned to Bi Qing, "What should we do with them?"
"Tie them up and stuff them under the bed. When Ah San and the others come to rob the ship at night, we will throw them into the river to feed the fish.
