Bai Ma Shan wanted to help Jia Wenjun, but he knew that food and water were scarce. He couldn't openly agree, but he could see if there was a way to get her some later.

The people above just said harshly, telling her to stay in there and wait for the coast guard to rescue her.

The group carried away Lü Maowang and Anna, and no one paid any attention to Jia Wenjun and the poor dog.

Hu Sixiang, in order to prevent Jia Wenjun from running out, even dragged her suitcase and fishing box to block the entrance of the hole.

Only Jia Wenjun and the dog were left in the dark hold.

Jia Wenjun reached down to the bottom of the deck hole, and rainwater dripped down from the edge. She really wanted to open her mouth and lick it, but reason told her that the water was dirty. If she drank it, it might not quench her thirst, but it would definitely cause problems with her stomach.

She endured it, and finally slowly climbed back inside, thinking that she would find a way to get out tomorrow when the rain stopped.

She had done nothing wrong and couldn't be locked up here to die.

Jia Wenjun leaned against the side of the hull, closing her eyes to rest, and the dog snuggled up next to her for warmth.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard a rustling, faint sound of water coming from the direction of the secret passage where Anna had been.

It was as if a stream of water was constantly flowing towards her.

When Anna chased her just now, she pushed the table askew, and the candle on the table was knocked over and extinguished. It was dark over there.

Jia Wenjun pressed the luminous button on her electronic watch. It was already past two in the morning. If she guessed correctly, the tide had already reached its peak.

When the tide receded, the hull would no longer be supported by seawater, and the angle of inclination would be at its greatest. As the tide rose, the angle of inclination of the hull would slowly decrease, but the amount of seawater pouring into the hull would increase until it reached a stable amount.

This position was below the deck, and the depth of water entering was definitely higher than in the cabins. As long as this hold wasn't submerged, she could get out alive.

Jia Wenjun recalled that there was no water in the secret passage when she went through it just now. Now, the seawater must have flooded into the secret passage and was pouring towards her.

For safety's sake, she had to go back and take a good look to determine the depth of the water.

Lü Maowang's phone was still in Jia Wenjun's hand. She looked at the seven percent battery remaining and hesitated for a few seconds. Thinking that her own phone still had thirty percent battery, she turned on Lü Maowang's phone light. With this light, she slowly walked towards the secret passage.

After walking for a while, there was more water than she had imagined, and it was deeper. As the hull leveled out, it really quickly rushed towards the hold.

Jia Wenjun turned her head back. The hold was the closest to the bow of the ship, so even if water came in, it would be the last place to be submerged. Therefore, staying there was safer than staying anywhere else.

Returning to the hold filled with carpets, there was originally a wooden door that could block the flow of water, but now it had been broken. This enclosed space was no longer enclosed, and seawater kept pouring in from outside the broken door. The water level in the hold was rising slowly but visibly.

Jia Wenjun jumped onto the higher carpet, and Big Yellow followed her closely. The two of them sat on it, listening to the sound of flowing water.

As more and more water flowed in, the carpets on the bottom began to be submerged. She shrank to the topmost carpet, and all she could see around her was water. She was like sitting on a desert island, with nowhere to escape.

On the deck, everyone carried the two injured people into room six.

Bai Ma Shan, as the director of a pet hospital, knew a little about treating wounds and simple bandaging techniques.

Fortunately, the medicine kit was in room six. Under the weak light of two mobile phones, he simply treated the wounds of both Lü Maowang and Anna, but Lü Maowang lost too much blood and his face was pale. Fortunately, he was still breathing, otherwise the others would not have allowed a corpse to remain in the room.

The noisy sounds in room six made the two people in room seven nervous.

"Jiaojiao, did Xiao Jia really... push Zhao Di into the sea?" Gong Dalong was in pain whenever he spoke, and the voice was intermittent.

"Shh, don't make noise." Sun Jiaojiao's ear was pressed against the door, listening to the movement outside, her expression a little complicated.

They said that Jia Wenjun wanted to kill Anna and Lü Maowang, and that Jia Wenjun's target was everyone on the boat. The more Sun Jiaojiao listened, the more afraid she became.

Before there was video evidence, she had actually suspected Lü Maowang.

The pair of underwear that Jia Wenjun took out was indeed Zhao Di's. Sun Jiaojiao shared a room with Zhao Di, and Zhao Di liked to leave her things and suitcases open in the room. Sun Jiaojiao thought she took up too much space and had argued with her a few times about it.

That night, Zhao Di was finally invited to have dinner on the deck by Gong Dalong and Bai Ma Shan after much persuasion. Sun Jiaojiao was afraid that drinking too much alcohol would be bad for the child, so she thought about going back to the room to lie down. She didn't expect to find the door ajar just as she reached cabin number one.

She looked in through the crack in the door and happened to see Lü Maowang, who had said he was going to the toilet earlier, actually in their room, rummaging through Zhao Di's clothes. He was holding Zhao Di's red lace underwear in his hand.

Although Sun Jiaojiao had a good relationship with Lü Maowang, people's hearts were unpredictable. Under the circumstances, she immediately turned around and left, so Lü Maowang didn't know that Sun Jiaojiao had seen him stealing Zhao Di's underwear.

Sun Jiaojiao didn't expect Lü Maowang to have such a fetish, so Sun Jiaojiao was the first to suspect Lü Maowang when Zhao Di had the accident. But she didn't say it, she was afraid of being retaliated against, so she secretly kept her distance from Lü Maowang.

It wasn't until Lili took out the video that she no longer suspected Lü Maowang. And when Jia Wenjun took out that pair of underwear, she recognized it at a glance. That was the one that Lü Maowang had stolen and then framed Bai Ma Shan for.

She still didn't say it, after all, this matter had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to cause trouble for herself.

Sun Jiaojiao just didn't expect Jia Wenjun to be so fierce that she could even subdue someone like Lü Maowang.

In room six, there was an injured person lying on each of the two single beds. Bai Ma Shan and Old Master Wang had to take care of them inside, so there was no room to move around. The others who originally wanted to squeeze into the room had no place to go.

Besides, the room was filled with the smell of blood, and Lin Laoshi and Lili and others couldn't stand it. They wanted to go to the second floor to rest, but they didn't expect the second floor to be full of luggage. Only one person could barely lie down. Bai Ma Shan and the others had to take turns resting before because there wasn't enough space. At this time, the ship was swaying with the waves, and the suitcases were also swaying, about to fall down and hit someone on the head.

With no other choice, the group could only stand by the ship's corridor outside the door to avoid the rain.

Because of this storm, the temperature at sea dropped sharply in the middle of the night.

Nao Nao snuggled tightly against her mother, Hao Jieningning, and said she was sleepy. Hao Jieningning could only sit on the cold deck and hold Nao Nao so that he could sleep a little more comfortably.

Looking at room seven across the way with the door locked tightly, Lili and the others who were freezing began to curse Sun Jiaojiao again.

Listening to the thunder and lightning outside and the loud curses, Sun Jiaojiao, who was holding back a bladder full of urine, gritted her teeth and persevered, thinking that she would not leave this room until the coast guard came.
