Chapter 315: Chapter 315 A lot of people have died of illness

"Don’t worry, no one can easily see through my Disguise Technique. Now that someone dares to challenge me, and just a woman at that, I can’t stand this affront. If I don’t reclaim my pride this time, how am I supposed to hold my head up in the future?" Jin Yuyan said with a faint smile playing on his lips.

"But..."

"If you’re scared, find somewhere to hide. I can handle this myself." With that, Jin Yuyan leapt onto the dock, his figure soon melting into the night.

There were many people being smuggled on their ship, each disembarking hurriedly, stepping onto the soil of this country with trepidation and bewilderment.

They had come here chasing dreams of wealth.

They’d heard that jade could be found everywhere here, that everyone who came here got rich. And they’d also heard tales of people striking it rich overnight. All of them were here trying their luck.

What they didn’t know was that here one could also go bankrupt overnight, or be driven to suicide by unbearable pressures...

"Is everyone off yet?" the ship captain asked his crew.

"There’s one left, damn, looks like he’s about to die of sickness!" a crew member’s voice echoed from below decks.

The last stowaway was lying in a gloomy corner, coughing violently.

"If he’s not dead, drag him out; if he is, throw him overboard," the ship captain said coldly.

It was not uncommon for smuggled passengers to die at sea; the crew had grown numb to it. In their eyes, the lives of these illegal immigrants didn’t amount to much.

The man was dumped onto the shore, and the ship quickly sailed away.

"The guy just now looked seriously ill, like he really might be dying," two crew members started to chat.

"Normal, every year a few of the immigrants die during the crossing. From sickness, drowning, suffocation... we’ve seen it all," one replied.

"No, I mean there was another one a few days ago with the same symptoms, coughing severely and rolling his eyes back," said the first.

"Did he die?"

"Don’t know."

Suddenly, another crew member who overheard their conversation approached and said, "Speaking of which, I remember something. I heard from my family that there is a severe flu going around, and a lot of people have died from it."

"Really?"

"Of course, it’s true. Someone near my home died because of it."

"It wouldn’t be some kind of epidemic outbreak, would it?"

"Even if there was an outbreak, it wouldn’t affect us. We’re at sea; it’s not like we can catch it from here."

"True..."

...

It had been five days.

Lin Zhi and her team had been checking raw stones every day, but there was no sign of Jin Yuyan.

Zhu Yuan said with some concern, "He might not show up at all, right?"

Lin Zhi wasn’t sure either. If he didn’t show up, their plan would fail.

"Let’s wait a little longer. If he were that easy to find, he wouldn’t be so clever," Jiang Yihan said. She had more patience.

"Yeah, let’s wait a few more days," Lin Zhi nodded but then worriedly asked her, "Is it okay for you to not go back for so long? Aren’t you worried about your child?"

Jiang Yihan replied indifferently, "I’ve made arrangements before coming. Someone will take good care of him. It wouldn’t matter even if I didn’t go back for a month."

But even so, surely as a mother, she must find it hard to leave her child for so long.

Lin Zhi suddenly realized.

Shi Qian’s wedding day was fast approaching, and she wasn’t eager to return... Could it be an attempt to avoid it?

Lin Zhi didn’t dare to ask, nor did she want to speculate any further.

"There’s one more place to visit today," Huang Jun came over and said to them, "Shall we go now?"

"Let’s go," Lin Zhi didn’t refuse.
