Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: No Other Choice

"No, I won’t leave, Grandpa, I won’t abandon you here alone!" A zhu, who had been crying before, suddenly looked at Grandpa Zhu with calmness and determination: "No matter what happens, I won’t leave Grandpa here alone!"

She stood with her back very straight, the light in her eyes extraordinarily firm.

But after all, she was just a young girl who hadn’t experienced hardship, and Han Jing saw her hands tucked into her sleeves trembling violently.

She must be scared, she’s a perceptive girl, surely she understands the reality before them now, which is that if she doesn’t leave here, her only path is being taken by those people and becoming a plaything. As for a girl of her status, there won’t be anyone to provide her with any kind of protection, no one to back her up.

Yet no matter if ahead for her is a mire or hell, she won’t leave.

She absolutely wouldn’t leave her elderly Grandpa to live alone in misery, because then she won’t find peace in her entire life.

Grandpa Zhu looked at A zhu, shaking his head and said: "A zhu, listen to Grandpa, in this life, Grandpa has no other wishes, only hopes that you can be well. Grandpa knows you’re worried that after you leave, Grandpa will be implicated alone, but think about it, their current target is you. If you stay, they’ll surely use you to threaten Grandpa. If you leave, no matter who Grandpa works for in the future, as long as nothing goes wrong, they ultimately won’t do anything to me, they still want to keep my old life to work for them."

Grandpa Zhu spoke reasonably, but A zhu was very determined: "No, I don’t care what reasons you have, I won’t leave you alone."

Han Jing and Xia Wu exchanged a glance, first helping Grandpa Zhu up: "Grandpa Zhu, you better think it over, we’ll also try to think of another way."

"My two sisters, in response to your great kindness today, A zhu has nothing with which to repay you, but A zhu absolutely cannot leave Grandpa alone." A zhu respectfully bowed to Han Jing and the others, clearly having made up her mind, even if she’s dragged away to do things she’s unwilling to do, she will not live sneakily and selfishly alone.

Han Jing looked at A zhu, the young girl indeed has quite a character, and seems rather stubborn.

It’s just that sometimes, a lot of things cannot be accomplished just by having courage.

"A zhu!" Grandpa Zhu was evidently a bit anxious, pulling A zhu aside, softly persuading her not to be impulsive, because if there really were other ways, they wouldn’t be in such a plight now.

Even now, were it not for Han Jing and the others stepping in, it’s likely A zhu would already have been taken away and... ruined by those people.

This is something Grandpa Zhu would rather die than see happen.

Their time was short; typically, those powers on Yunzhu Island wouldn’t easily provoke the guests on the island, but as soon as Han Jing and the others leave, the predicament will return.

So Grandpa Zhu could only grasp this rare chance; as long as Han Jing and the others were willing to help, no matter what, they could save A zhu’s life, and he absolutely didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Once missed, he would truly be out of options.

For pearl farmers like them at the bottom of the hierarchy, how much room for choices do they have? Encountering Han Jing and the others, who were willing to offer assistance under such circumstances today, was already an extraordinary stroke of luck.
