Maid's Diary: Devil Master, Please Behave - Chapter 163
Chapter 163 Crisis Potential 2
Tattered fishing boats were particularly small in the dark sea, their high-speed engines slamming into the water and their decks shaking particularly hard. The fishing lamp at the bow of the ship was a dark eye, quietly staring at the boundless sea water.
The owner of the fishing boat was a father and daughter surnamed Wang. Their skin was dark and sunny all year round. They smiled and revealed their bright white teeth, which was especially friendly.
Old Wang carefully set sail in the driver’s cabin. Mu Nan hid in the cabin and told the 17-year-old fisherwoman Chinese ghost stories.
The fisherwoman’s name was Wang Jing, which implied calm and tranquil. The girl had big eyes and short hair, which made her look sharp and capable.
For some reason, in front of Mu Nan, he appeared especially “timid and delicate.”
Mu Nan’s ghost story was so lifelike that the little girl was stunned for a moment. She hugged Mu Nan’s arm and refused to leave.
Lin Qingyu was quietly flipping through the complicated map. The light was dim and she could vaguely see his cold outline. Occasionally, he would raise his head and look thoughtfully at the young man who was talking. Hearing her clear spring-like voice, his fingers that were holding the map tightened quietly.
Mu Nan rubbed away the girl’s hand, found an excuse to send her out, and then smiled as he moved closer.
“Hey ~ How did you know that I would steal the deed to Blue Bay?” Mu Nan asked.
“Coincidence.” Lin Qingyu did not raise her head. Her voice was especially cold in the weak environment. “Originally, I was planning to go there by myself. I was surprised, but I didn’t expect to meet you in the bay.”
There was a faint fishy smell from the fishing boat in the air. Mu Nan frowned and did not agree with him, “Then why did you send the people that Steward Qian sent me away to take me on this broken fishing boat?”
“Munan, Ze is my friend. I have to help him in times of crisis.” Lin Qingyu smiled and handed the map to her. “Housekeeper Qian prepared a luxury passenger ship for you. I’m afraid that Gu Shaoyan’s men will intercept you halfway through the safe high seas.”
This fishing boat is temporarily hired by me in the old harbor. The boat owner is experienced and doesn’t know you or me. Gu Shaoyan would never have thought that we would take the risk of taking a shortcut. ”
Mu Nan nodded and walked across the high seas with great fanfare.
This shortcut had been mentioned to her by Gu Yuze before. Reefs were dense and there were often shipwrecks. Only experienced fishing boats dared to go.
“How many people do you have in Blue Bay?”
“Ten, elite.” Lin Qingyu raised her head and looked at her.
“You cooperate with them outside. I’ll sneak into the basement. I’ve been to the basement before and am familiar with the road.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qingyu replied indifferently.
A plan to turn the world around was slowly finalized during the conversation between the two of them.
Late at night, the seawater gently slapped the deck. The huge moon that flew out of the sea at an unknown time floated high in the sky. The seawater in the sky was dazzling silver white. Beneath the surface of the sea were dense and terrifying reefs that sharply cut through the flowing seawater.
The young fisherwoman brought the two a new stew of fish soup, sprinkled with tender onions, which tasted like traditional Chinese cuisine.
Mu Nan couldn’t help but drink a few more bowls until his stomach bulged and he couldn’t hold on any longer. Finally, he put down the bowl and blew the night wind on the deck.
The boatman continued to sail in the cabin. Lin Qingyu was used to going to bed early and entering a state of energy recovery early.
The ship was sailing in the sea, avoiding the dense reefs, and the distant Blue Bay Island was lit up. The fisherwoman seized the opportunity and ran to the deck to chat with Mu Nan.
“Brother Mu, are you from Sheng Hua Financial District?” She tilted her head and curved her eyebrows.
“Yes–and no.”
“Are you going to visit the Blue Bay Flower Field? I heard from Dad that the scenery there is very beautiful. There are many precious flowers everywhere.”
“Yes,” Mu Nan looked at the silver moonlight and his lips curved into an arc. “I want to go to Blue Bay again.”
She laughed. Her eyes were clear and bright, reflecting the moonlight. Her eyebrows were picturesque. Her originally exquisite and handsome face became even more blurry. She was like an elf hiding in the sea. Her worried expression seemed to reveal itself, causing people to be blurred.
The fisherwoman stared blankly at Mu Nan, suspecting that the gods of the seabed had landed beside her.
“Brother Mu, you look worried.” The fisherwoman leaned over and whispered.
Mu Nan shook his head lightly, a trace of helplessness and pain flashing through his eyes.
“Wang Jing, I want to see the moonlight tomorrow night. I don’t know if I have the luck.” She turned her head sideways and placed her palm on the fisherwoman’s shoulder, but her eyes gradually blurred, “Wang Jing, I want to see the moonlight tomorrow night. I don’t know if I have the luck.”
He didn’t need to open his eyes to know that this was a soul-stirring adventure.
The female fisherwoman was innocent and somewhat unable to understand the thoughts of this youth of her age.
Frowning, the youth in front of him seemed to be a different person, like a giant carrying a heavy load, dripping with blood on the thorny road.
The night breeze on the sea was cold, blowing on his face, and it was as painful as a knife.

At dawn, the fishing boat docked in a hidden bay. Mu Nan jumped down and looked around curiously. His black leather boots stepped on the mud and sand on the ground.
A few tourists were already waiting on the shore. When they saw Lin Qingyu appear, they bowed respectfully.
“Young Master, you’re ready. Gu Shaoyan didn’t notice.”
Lin Qingyu nodded lightly and looked back. Mu Nan was still talking to the fisherman and his daughter.
The middle-aged fisherman was obviously very satisfied with Mu Nan and looked at the handsome young man with the same gaze as his son-in-law.
The fisherwoman was obviously reluctant to part with Mu Nan. She had been secretly clutching Mu Nan’s sleeve, and there were still some reluctant water stains in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely come back. Tonight, I will take your boat back to Sheng Hua.” Mu Nan’s manly demeanor was evident as he patted the little girl’s shoulder proudly.
The fisherwoman raised her head and peeked at Lin Qingyu who was not far away. She whispered, “Really?”
Mu Nan laughed and nodded, his gaze becoming even more relaxed.
No matter what, she must return to the ship safely.
It was an adventure, an unpredictable adventure.
She gambled her life and played a game with fate.
The fishing boat was temporarily concealed in the bay. Mu Nan followed Lin Qingyu and quietly left. The group of people transformed into ordinary tourists and gradually moved away from the countless tourists.
SE Blue Bay Flower Field Office, located in the distance.
Not long ago, a bold girl broke into the underground storage room and stole the ink jade bracelet.
Now, she’s going to sneak in again.
—
Sanatorium, City A, China.
“Pa ~”
The blue and white porcelain cup fell from Nan Qinyue’s hand and shattered into pieces of dregs. The fresh tea steamed and evaporated in the early morning cold air.
The female nurse quickly pulled her away and whispered, “Auntie, be careful not to hurt yourself. Leave this to me to clean up.”
Nan Qinyue was a little restless. She supported the nurse’s shoulders and sat down by the bed. She looked out of the window at the withered tree branches. There were sparrows perched on them, chirping leisurely.
The nurse packed up the fragments and brewed some new tea. “Auntie, this is the tea for nourishing the spirit. Drink some while it’s hot.”
Nan Qinyue did not say anything. A look of worry appeared on her beautiful face. That strange uneasiness lingered in her heart like an ant, gnawing at her nerves. His heart was heavy, and he could hardly breathe. He felt a strange pain in his heart.
She couldn’t help but think of Mu Nan and hurriedly took out her phone to try to call her. As a result, the other end of the phone was filled with endless calls. She was a little panicked.
“Auntie, don’t worry.” When the female nurse saw the number she dialed, she quickly comforted, “I just received news that Mu Nan will be back soon. She even brought something that Auntie is thinking about.”
The female nurse was someone that Gu Yuze had specially arranged for beside Nan Qinyue, and she was also one of Sheng Hua’s contacts.
Nan Qinyue raised her head doubtfully, “The thing I was thinking about–”
“You mean–bracelet, that brat found the bracelet!” Nan Qinyue suddenly raised her voice and looked at the young female nurse with a wide smile. Nan Qinyue’s eyes lit up, and a brilliant spark burst out from her eyes. It was as if she was ten years younger in an instant, and an unprecedented flood of joy surged into her heart.
Nan Qinyue was so excited that she almost knocked over the freshly brewed tea. She touched her wrist with her fingers. It had been a year, and her soul had been entangled in her dreams. After countless prayers, the bracelet was finally coming back.
The nurse smiled and nodded. “Auntie, don’t worry. Munan will be back soon. A heart test has been arranged in the afternoon. You have to cooperate well.”
On a withered tree branch outside the sanatorium, the sparrow looked around cleverly. Its black eyes swayed, and then it fled in all directions like it was frightened.
—
This was an extremely ordinary day. People were still living according to the time trajectory.
Mu Nan and Lin Qingyu were on Blue Bay Island, nervously planning to steal.
Nan Qinyue waited for the bracelet’s return with great anticipation at City A Sanatorium in China.
The Caucasus lay on the dried lawn of the Azure Void Mansion. With a twitch of his ear, the copper-bell-sized dog’s eyes became vigilant and charged into the distance like sharp swords.
Jiang Cheng continued to flip through the monograph on heart disease at the school hospital. There was a cool lemon tea on the table.
The Lu siblings went to the amusement park and enjoyed themselves.
Gu Yu Ze had just signed a cooperation plan, and people were baptizing this devilish young man with reverence.
Gu Shaoyan got a strange phone call and got angry in the president’s office.
Meanwhile, Bai Ruyun was at Sheng Hua Private Hospital.
Just as Bai Ruyun woke up from his slumber, Madam Bai, whose eyes were dancing with tears, sat beside the bed.
“Mom.” She opened her dry lips and her wrist was in deep pain reminding her of the past. The snow-white ceiling told her where it was.
Madam Bai’s tears suddenly fell. She gently lifted the fine strands of hair that fell on Bai Ruyun’s forehead and said warmly, “Girl, are you awake? Let me pour you some water.”
Bai Ruyun shook her head and asked, “Mom, where is Qingyu?”
“Qingyu said he had something important to take care of and left yesterday. He entrusted me with taking good care of you.” Madam Bai’s voice was hoarse and she couldn’t help but advise, “Little girl, listen to mother’s words. Why can’t Gu Yu and Ze afford it? This child Qingyu is sincere to you…”
Bai Ruyun was already completely lost in her thoughts. Madam Bai’s chatter from the side was automatically ignored. She stared blankly at the ceiling and used her gaze to outline the exquisite and elegant arc of the ceiling.
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face.
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival ~
The chapters are full of foreshadowing and may not seem easy to understand. What’s the problem? I can explain.)
