Chapter 1779: Chapter 1780: They’re at Sea?

“What?”

Rong Yan heard her voice become cheerful while keeping her eyes closed.

“Since the boss has a habit of being picky about beds and won’t be sleeping in his room, that room is just sitting there empty. We might as well temporarily put the little chick in there. Once I find some fever medication and give it to her, we can bring her back.”

The man spoke with fear, “…if the boss finds out you used his room to lock up the chick, you’ll be thrown into the Pacific Ocean.”

“Hehe, you dogsh*t, I can swim!”

“Are you in or not? If the chick dies from illness, no one gets any money, at least not nearly as much. I heard that Hua Country tycoon is famously fond of his wife; the chick is quite valuable~”

They’re all desperados; money is closer than parents.

After a brief hesitation, a few people agreed.

“We’re in!”

…

Rong Yan was placed on a soft bed, and after hearing the sound of the door locking from outside, she kept her eyes closed and waited for a long time. Only when she was sure no one was in the room did she dare to quietly open her eyes.

Compared to the cramped wooden box she had just been in, this room was much better. The roughly thirty-square-meter room had a TV, a sofa, and two windows that were bright enough not to need lights.

She got up from the bed, feeling a wave of dizziness. Apart from the dizziness, she also had very little strength.

Rong Yan touched her own forehead, and indeed, just as the woman said, it felt distinctly cool to her touch, lower than normal body temperature.

This was a low fever.

Similar to a high fever in nature.

But as someone who studied medicine, she knew clearly that a low fever was more serious than a high fever and more likely to cause severe complications. The woman had probably considered this and insisted on moving her to a relatively clean and warm room.

This seemed to be their boss’s… room?

After taking a breath, Rong Yan got up from the bed and quickly determined her position through the small window in the room.

Sure enough, she was at sea!

Outside, the swaying ocean was as blue as ink, and the waves stirred up by the ferry blossomed under the sunlight. Birds swept across the sky, and even through the window, she could hear the sound of the ocean outside.

She tried to open the window, just as she had expected, the windows of the rooms on the ferry were all sealed shut, impossible to open from the inside or the outside.

Even if she opened it, there was nothing outside but the vast ocean. Without even a lifebuoy, falling out would mean death.

With the windows sealed, the only way to escape was through the door.

Rong Yan felt her temples throb with pain again.

From the tone of the few people earlier, it’s impossible they would leave her in here alone; there must be someone keeping watch at the door.

She had no idea what those people looked like; recklessly running out would only lead to immediate capture. Once they became alert, it would be even more difficult to find another chance to escape later…

Rong Yan almost immediately dismissed the idea of rushing out for help, sat back on the bed, hugged her knees, and fell into deep thought.

She wondered if Li Shengxiao had noticed her disappearance.

This group seemed to want to extort money from him using her, and they planned to get rid of her after collecting the ransom.

They hadn’t mentioned who ordered them to do it, and this ship had already sailed beyond Hua Country’s borders…

Rong Yan had never felt this confused before; her long eyelashes drooped weakly, covering her eyes. Her brain, tormented by the low fever, felt miserable. She wanted to cry as her lungs burned, making her throat unbearably dry, but there was nothing in the small room, not even water.
