The shipowner soon recovered and revealed everything, allowing Qi Yue to understand the situation at that time.
The refined-looking man the shipowner spoke of was none other than Qu Wei.
A few days ago, before dawn, several ferocious-looking men brought Qu Wei here, intending to travel to Chishuiwo, but the shipowner refused.
As a result, Qu Wei suggested they just steal the ship, as no one would see them doing it so early in the morning.
Those men then took the ship by force and even beat up the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper woke up, he found an extra fan in his arms.
Recalling that he had seen Qu Wei before and remembered someone else was with him, he waited every day on the riverbank, hoping to find that person.
Unexpectedly, his wait paid off with the arrival of Qi Yue.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
It looked like, for the time being, Qu Wei's life was not in danger.
