Although Wu Peng didn't know Jia Wenjun, he had experienced the Lin family's nature and knew that nothing good could come from their mouths.

Even strangers would find Lin's mother's words inappropriate, let alone Jia Wenjun's parents.

Seeing Jia's mother struggling to breathe in anger, he took out his phone to call for emergency services. Then, he pointed at the three members of the Lin family, who still didn't understand what was happening, and said, "Publicly insulting others or fabricating facts to slander them is punishable by up to five days of detention or a fine of up to five hundred yuan, according to Article 42 of the 'Public Security Administration Punishment Law.' In more serious cases, it's punishable by more than five days of detention and a fine. You've angered someone to the point of hospitalization. Go home and prepare the medical expenses and wait to receive a lawyer's letter!"

Lin Yang didn't expect things to turn out this way. He regretted it deeply. He should have told his mother to lower her loud voice.

"You, don't think about extorting money from us. Anyone can lie on the ground! I'll lie down too!" Lin's mother continued to shout at the top of her lungs.

Seeing his mother still yelling, Lin Yang quickly grabbed her, noticing Wu Peng recording everything with his phone.

Seeing the mention of medical expenses and lawyer's letters, Lin's father also pulled his wife back, "Alright, they have a lawyer. Let's go."

The ambulance arrived quickly. Wu Peng went to the hospital with Jia's father. After confirming everything was alright, he took out the video he had recorded earlier, "Uncle Jia, this is the evidence of their insults. I recorded it all. If they don't pay for the medical expenses, you can directly call the police."

Jia's father was still furious when he thought about what had just happened. He paused, "Little Wu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me and your Aunt Jia. I can do without the medical expenses, but I want them to publicly apologize. I want their apology to be posted on all the community bulletin boards."

"An apology is a must, and the medical expenses are their responsibility. For people like them, an apology is just a matter of opening and closing their mouths. Making them pay is the only way to truly teach them a lesson."

Jia's father knew he was right and thanked him again.

"Uncle Jia, I have something to do and need to go to the law firm first. I bought lunch and water for you and Auntie. Remember to eat later. The doctor said Auntie was just overcome with anger and there's no major problem. Don't worry." Wu Peng had asked the doctor earlier and bought lunch for them on the way. The reason he came out of the Maritime Safety Administration was that his leader had called him again, asking him to run errands and communicate with the parties involved in the previous case to understand the situation.

Although he had asked for leave, his leader said that he was just waiting for news anyway, so he might as well do some work while waiting, which meant he was on paid leave, meaning he had to work even on vacation.

Jia's father had been haggard these past few days because of his daughter's matter. Even if he was capable before, he was still an old man after all. He was naturally moved and grateful that this young man he had just met was running around taking care of them.

After seeing Wu Peng out, Jia's father sighed. He didn't understand why his daughter had to fall for that Lin Yang, who had nothing going for him, when there were so many good boys like Wu Peng out there.

Well, through Lin Yang, she had also learned about the dangers of the human heart. People always have to grow. A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. He believed that his daughter wouldn't be so foolish in the future.

At this time, Jia Wenjun, who Jia's father was thinking about, was in the ship's hidden compartment, sneezing violently as she listened to the storm raging outside.

Dahuang was whimpering beside her, the rolling thunder scaring the dog, making it tremble. She reached out and hugged the dog that had been by her side all along.

Rain drifted into the hidden compartment, and moisture hit her face. The hull of the ship was constantly shaking by the wind and waves. She was exhausted and hungry, curled up in a roll of cylindrical carpets, swaying from side to side. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she put on the hood of her clothes and simply lay down.

She wanted to go back, to her parents, to her small house. She knew that regret was useless, but she still regretted embarking on this journey.

At this time, on the deck, Nao Nao went to the side of the ship to pee and came back with something in his mouth.

Hao Jiening was startled and squatted down to pry open his mouth, "What did you eat?"

Nao Nao tried desperately to swallow what was in his mouth, but Hao Jiening, worried that he would eat something bad, pried it open anyway.

Although most of it had been swallowed by the child, there was still some residue left in his mouth.

Hao Jiening forcefully dug it out, pinched it with her hand, smelled it under her nose, and looked incredulous, "Apple? Where did you find it?"

Hao Jiening's movements were too loud just now. Even though she tried to lower her voice, Wang's grandfather and the others who had gathered around still heard it.

"Apple? Did you say apple? Nao Nao, where did you get the apple? You're not allowed to eat it all by yourself. Tell me quickly." Lili was also anxious when she heard there was fruit, shaking Nao Nao and telling him to say it quickly.

"Why are you pushing my son?" Hao Jiening became anxious and reached out to push Lili.

"He's eating it all by himself. What's wrong with me pushing him? Let everyone judge. Shouldn't this child be taught a lesson for eating alone?" Lili's voice sounded sharp and piercing in the storm.

Nao Nao was frightened and cried, "Wuwuwu, I... I didn't eat it all by myself. It was, it was Uncle Lu who gave it to me."

"Uncle Lu? Lu Maowang?" Teacher Lin reacted.

Everyone on the ship hadn't seen fruits and vegetables for days. Now that they heard that Lu Maowang had apples, they all ran towards Cabin Six.

At this time, Lu Maowang had taken the antibiotics and antipyretics that Anna had given him earlier and was much better. He was eating the last bit of apple in his hand when everyone broke in and caught him red-handed.

"Goodness, Lu Maowang, you secretly hid fruit!" Lili came in and started searching everywhere, but couldn't find it.

Everyone surrounded Lu Maowang, "Say, where did the apple come from?"

Lu Maowang glanced at Bai Ma Shan standing at the door and didn't speak.

Old Man Wang said, "Lu Maowang, you know the situation on the ship now. Everyone is lacking vitamins. If you have fruit, take it out and share it with everyone. After all, you weren't shorted a share when there was food before."

Lu Maowang still didn't speak. Anna said, "Everyone, stop forcing him. Anyway, he's finished his fruit. It's useless to force him."

"You're acting like a good person now that you've finished eating the fruit?" Lili no longer gave Anna any face since she had fallen out with her. She would retort whenever she wanted to.

Anna had a "say whatever you want" expression.

It was precisely because of her full-bellied and carefree expression that made Lili and the others even more annoyed. Lili grabbed Lu Maowang from the past, "Where did you find the apple? What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and ask."

Sun Jiaojiao had been hiding in Cabin Seven for so long, just wanting to eat something sour. Now that she heard there were apples, she rushed up and pushed Lu Maowang regardless, causing Lu Maowang to scream in pain, but no one helped him.

Teacher Lin was also persuading, "Little Lu, you can't be so selfish. Look, everyone vacated Cabin Six for you to rest well. Now that everyone has nothing to eat, you have food, you should help everyone, right? We're all on the same boat, we should help each other, right?"

Lu Maowang was in so much pain, "Okay, I'll talk. You pull Sun Jiaojiao, that crazy woman, away first. If she pulls me again, my wound will bleed again."

Lili and Teacher Lin quickly came over to pull Sun Jiaojiao away. Lu Maowang gasped for air and looked at Bai Ma Shan again, "The apple was given to me by Lao Bai."
