Ms. Doctor Divine Chapter 891

Chapter 891: Immature

He said that without much concern, because he knew that Eighth Brother had never been out of the capital before, and he might not be aware of the danger happening outside home. Therefore, his Eighth Brother might get very startled by what was happening. Also, he was a lord who might not stand such misunderstanding.

A lord had a very n.o.ble social status in the capital, but here on the water, especially when you could not pull the anchor to any bank, a lord might have the bigger possibility of being caught and killed.

Pirates would always be there, since they were acknowledged to exist by the businessmen and civilians.

The governmental offices never had their hands into such a group, nor were they able to handle such a group either. So what they should do right now was to hide their real social statuses, pay some money and get by.

He talked to his Eighth Brother in this way, because he was worried that his Eighth Brother would make a fuss.

“Eighth Brother, just go and check on Lady Chaoyan, I can handle everything here. The pirates are living on the water all year round, so what they need is just some money. They stopped us, because they think we are from a big family because of the big boat, and they need too much from us. I will try to have a talk with them,” Zhou Huaiyu said.

He thought that it was a very hot issue.

Those people needed so much treasure which they could not afford, but if they did not offer anything, they would probably get onto the boat and carry things away. Lady Chaoyan was on the boat right now and that could make things even more troublesome.

Pirates never stole women, just money. Yet it was never certain.

Zhou Huaiyu was just in the middle of confusion, when the head of the robbers shouted. “It is just five million for your safety. We’ll leave when we get the money and we can also guide you through the dangerous part of the river ahead of you. You might not make it without us.”

“…”

“If you keep on dragging, I will get my men to steal the things on the boat. By that time, it would be more than five million we take.” The rough-looking guy shouted.

Zhou Huaiyu got anxious. He frowned and asked. “Eighth Brother, how much can you give to them?”

“Sixth Brother, we can’t give them the money,” Zhou Huaijin said.

He came to the head of the boat and said with a serious look on his face. “We don’t have any money, are you retreating or not?!”

Hearing these words, Zhou Huaiyu got startled. That was going to startle the pirates.

They did not have many people with them, since he had not expected that there would be so many pirates here. He thought that money would solve everything.

They would definitely be defeated, due to the lack of followers.

Zhou Huaiyu took hold of his brother. “Eighth Brother!”

Wuhen also explained with a small voice. “Lord Huai, the pirates are very well prepared. There are too many of them for us to handle. Lady Chaoyan is in the boat, and we can’t take the risk.”

Zhou Huaijin took a look at Wuhen.

He patted his shoulders. “It is fine. We can’t offer them the money or allow them to do whatever they want here. Since we are here, we can’t possibly give them the money just to end this. That would make the pirates bully the business people even more.”

Hearing what Zhou Huaijin said, Wuhen should a look of helplessness.

He was thinking inwardly – Lord Huai, who was immature and naive, was going to get them all killed.
