The silent night was void of any sound except for the gentle paddling of a small boat through the water. Occasionally, a few wild ducks would fly past, making the lake appear even more tranquil.
Lin Wanwan remained silent, and the boatman dared not make a noise.
After sailing for more than an hour, Lin Wanwan finally saw the large dock ahead, filled with boats of all sizes.
They were not far from the estuary now.
"Boatman, dock here."
Lai Touwang dared not disobey and reluctantly docked the boat. Lin Wanwan jumped ashore and disappeared in the blink of an eye into the reeds under the night sky.
Lai Touwang felt the boat's bow lighten and knew that the "woman" had left. Instantly, he collapsed onto the deck, feeling utterly powerless.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
When dawn broke, the semi-conscious Mrs. Yan finally awoke and sat upright abruptly, first searching for her daughter and then checking on her husband.
