Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2642 - 2578: Searching for Eighteen Years

His body became rigid at that instant, and she sensed it. He was certainly going to warn Sixth Young Master, so it would be better if she eliminated him first.

What she detested the most was her own physique, which was prone to developing calluses and scars. Consequently, no matter how she tried to protect them, her hands remained exceedingly rough.

"Hmph, I never imagined that after all these years, he would still recall that wretched woman," Lu Shuangshuang exclaimed, a surge of jealousy and resentment coursing through her.

"Miss..." Fei Cui hesitated to continue speaking.

"Just say what you need to say. Why are you stammering?" Lu Shuangshuang asked irritably.

"Back then, my attempt didn't succeed. I had drugged Sixth Young Master, but that other woman took advantage of the situation. Do you believe it's possible that she might have conceived Sixth Young Master's child?" Fei Cui recalled a particular day from years past.

Lu Shuangshuang's countenance grew dark once more; she too remembered that day.

A potent mixture of jealousy, agony, and hatred saturated her heart, compelling her to strike the ship's mast.

"That is precisely why I want you to dedicate all your efforts to finding that wretched woman. No matter what, whether it takes ten or twenty years, even if it spans thirty or forty years, you must ensure you locate that woman! If she bore Sixth Young Master's child back then, she would resort to any means to give birth. Therefore, if she has a child, finding her signifies finding that child."

"Yes, we have been relentlessly searching for that woman. Not a single day has passed without an ongoing search."

Lu Shuangshuang cast a piercing glance at her. "You dare to complain to me after searching for eighteen years and still not finding that wretched woman?"

"Fei Cui would never dare."

Fei Cui quickly lowered her head.

Upon observing Fei Cui's expression, Lu Shuangshuang's anger ignited anew.

An intense fury overwhelmed her thoughts. Unable to contain herself, she raised her hand and delivered a vicious slap to Fei Cui.

Slap!

The impact was undeniably harsh, and the sound echoed loudly.

With Fei Cui's practiced skills, she could have easily evaded the blow. However, how could she possibly dare?

Over the years, she had grown accustomed to Lu Shuangshuang's sudden outbursts and the accompanying slaps.

She understood the underlying reasons for these actions.

Should her expression betray any hint of dissent at this moment, she would surely be doomed.

Consequently, she had learned to immediately bow her head after Lu Shuangshuang's slap, quickly uttering:

"Fei Cui acknowledges her mistake."

Hearing the name "Fei Cui" caused Lu Shuangshuang's anger to subside slightly.

The sight of the slap mark on Fei Cui's face offered her a measure of satisfaction.

"Catch up to Sixth Young Master and redeem yourself, or you shall face my methods."

"Yes."

Fei Cui immediately retreated two steps before swiftly moving towards the ship's bow.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shiheng and Sun Han were desperately propelling themselves forward.

Whenever Jiang Shiheng felt overwhelmed by exhaustion and weakness, Sun Han would pull him along, allowing him a brief respite.

After swimming for a considerable duration, they each consumed another small bottle of potion.

Their sole remaining advantage was time, and they could not afford to conserve their potions.

Upon ingesting the potion, they experienced a rapid surge of renewed strength, enabling them to swim even faster than before.

Ordinary individuals would have long since succumbed to exhaustion and ceased their efforts. However, these two could sustain their swimming for an extended period, and at a remarkable speed.

"Head in that direction. I recall fishermen mentioning it as an area with the most abundant fish—meaning fishing boats are often present in that sector of the sea. We can only try our luck there!"

While pausing to rest, Jiang Shiheng suddenly recalled this detail.
