Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1894 - 0223: Grandmother’s Past 2

If they simply try to avoid the issue, itʼs clear that they have something to hide. Itʼs not hard to deduce that they are already aware of the relationship between the Zhang family and the pirates.

In that case, the Zhang family will surely act as quickly as possible, and the three major families of Jinling will likely not be able to resist them.

On the other hand, if they pretend not to know anything and go onto the island anyway, who knows what tricks the people from the Zhang family might use?

After all, it was the Zhang family who sent the pirates to attack the ships, which means they have been eyeing Wang Yue and his group for a while.

Out in the open sea, they can simply block the signal and act whenever they want.

Wang Yue is not afraid of the people on the island; after all, itʼs unlikely that they would send someone at the level of a ”Degradation Realm” expert to search the entire island. And those below the ”Degradation Realm,” Wang Yue doesnʼt think anyone could pose a threat to him.

However, if he were to kill these people as well, even if the signal is blocked and no messages can be sent, it would mean admitting that both the pirates and the people from the Zhang family were eliminated by him. After all, such coincidences are unlikely.

As for subduing them and then letting them go, Wang Yue hasnʼt even considered that option; he still needs to keep his strength hidden at this time.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Wang Zhiting suddenly said, ”Thereʼs a way to do it.”

”What way?” Wang Yue asked eagerly. He had high hopes for his younger cousin; she, like her mother, was a renowned talented woman in Jinling.

By ”talent,” I donʼt mean just her knowledge; she also has an extremely high IQ, though she usually doesnʼt show it off much.

”Live streaming,” Wang Zhiting replied with a smile. She turned on the communicator on her left wrist, and a virtual camera appeared instantly.

First, she focused the camera on the Zhang familyʼs ships for a moment, then turned it towards the island, and said loudly, ”Friends, we have now arrived at Island 0853. I didnʼt expect that besides us, there are other ships here. And judging by the markings on the ships, they belong to the powerful Tianhai Zhang family. To meet such important people during our adventure is truly fortunate. Congratulations, everyone!”

Great! Wang Yue and the others immediately gave Wang Zhiting a mental thumbs-up.

By live streaming, many people would see what was happening. Even if the signal was blocked as soon as they landed on the island and something went wrong, people would immediately assume that it was the people from the Zhang family who attacked Wang Yue and his group.

Although the Tianhai Zhang family is powerful, they cannot control everything. If this incident became known, they would have no way to explain it to the Warriors Alliance.

Even though the Warriors Alliance is not monolithic, they still need to maintain their reputation.

So by doing this and making the people from the Zhang family aware of it, they would not dare to act recklessly.

”Cousin, since when have you started doing live streaming?” Wang Qianqian couldnʼt help but ask.

Wang Zhiting signaled her to be quiet, then continued loudly, ”We are about to land on the island now. Letʼs go and explore its scenery and perhaps even encounter some wild animals.”

Soon after, the yacht slowly approached the shore, and everyone used lightness techniques to jump onto the island.

”Hmm, why is there no signal on this island?” Wang Zhiting exclaimed in surprise as soon as they landed.

Su Mengqing quickly added, ”Thatʼs the case in some places.”

”I need to let my fans know,” Wang Zhiting said. She jumped back onto the ship and said into the communicator, ”Unfortunately, this is an island without a wireless signal. I can only record whatʼs happening here and show it to you later.”

She then reassured her fans for a while before returning to the island. However, the virtual camera on the communicator remained active, recording everything that happened.

After landing on the island, they walked along a sandy beach for about ten meters before entering a dense jungle. As soon as they entered, they saw a group of people standing there, led by a tall, dark, and muscular man.

”Are you friends of the Tianhai Zhang family? Iʼm Su Mengqing from the Jinling Adventurers Association. Nice to meet you,” Su Mengqing said, stepping forward and performing a warriorʼs salute.

The dark, muscular man ignored Su Mengqing and frowned at Wang Zhiting, asking, ”What are you doing, little girl?”

”Recording. Thereʼs no signal on this island, and my fans on live streaming are very disappointed. So Iʼm recording it and will show it to them once we find a place with a signal,” Wang Zhiting said innocently. ”Uncle, donʼt you mind being recorded?”

”Yes, just cut off the recording when you show it later,” the man said. ”Have you been doing live streaming all this time?”

”Yes, for the past few days. I stopped only after we landed on the island and lost the signal,” Wang Zhiting replied.

”You must be from one of the three major families of Jinling. Youʼre warriors after all. Why are you doing something like live streaming, which ordinary people do?” the man frowned, not realizing that he was actually expressing dissatisfaction with warriors lowering their status.

Su Mengqing said sheepishly, ”Itʼs just a hobby, young lady. Please donʼt mind.”

The burly man with dark skin nodded and introduced himself, saying, ”Iʼm Zhang Hong from the Tianhai Zhang family. Iʼve come to this island to collect some materials. What brings you here?”

”Weʼre also here to collect materials,” Su Mengqing replied.

”Hmm, I heard that the genius scientist Yan Fangfei has been working for your Su family. Itʼs natural for you to be collecting materials, but where is Yan Fangfei herself?” Zhang Hong asked.

According to the information he had received earlier, Yan Fangfei, as well as Su Mengqingʼs four teammates, had all boarded the ship. However, the number of people now did not match what he had been told.

”There was an unexpected problem in Sister Yanʼs laboratory, so I asked my four teammates to escort her back first,” Su Mengqing explained. ”It seems you are quite familiar with our situation, sir.”

”No, of course I am. After all, sheʼs a genius scientist; itʼs only natural for us to pay attention to whatʼs happening to her,” Zhang Hong said with a laugh.

Then he added, ”The seas have become quite turbulent lately, and pirates are becoming more and more active. Have you encountered any of them on your way here?”

”Youʼre joking, sir. If we had encountered pirates, would we even be able to make it here?” Su Mengqing laughed.

Zhang Hong noticed that one of the girls present looked somewhat uneasy, and immediately asked, ”That little girl… Did you encounter pirates?”

”No, not at all,” Wang Shanshan said, looking confused, but then she became excited as well. ”Uncle, do you know where pirates can be found? Iʼve never seen one before; I really want to see one.”

Anyone who knew the members of the Wang family would realize that it wouldnʼt be strange at all if Wang Qianqian had said such a thing, but Wang Shanshan would never do something like that.

Clearly, this cunning little girl was using this method to dispel Zhang Hongʼs doubts.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Wang Shanshan said, the five parts of doubt that Zhang Hong had in his heart were instantly reduced to none at all.

After all, Wang Shanshan looked both innocent and adorable; she certainly didnʼt seem like someone who would lie.
