Chapter 330: Safe Escape!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Under the dark night sky, the huge cruise ship tilted on the shimmering sea, and the cold seawater kept pouring into it.
Lu Zhi navigated through the chaotic crowd and reached the deck, calmly asking, “What’s going on?”
“Someone blew up a hole in the bottom of the ship. We’re already doing our best to repair it. However, it probably wouldn’t be repaired in a short period of time. Sir, the people on this ship are of noble status. If anything happens, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Why don’t we use the speedboat to send them back to shore first?” Qi Feng replied.
They had set up such a tight perimeter around the cruise ship tonight, but someone could actually blow up the ship. It was obvious that the other party’s background was formidable.
If there were other bombs and more incidents occurred, there wouldn’t be time for evacuation, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just thinking about it made Qi Feng break out in a cold sweat.
Lu Zhi said coldly “Okay, arrange the evacuation first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
Organizing the evacuation now meant deviating from the original plan and tracking each guest would be impossible.
Even though they had recorded some information when the guests boarded the ship.
But these could also be fakes.
There was no time to consider all these details now.
Qi Feng received the order and quickly made arrangements for the evacuation.
Lu Zhi didn’t see Jiang Yining and guessed that she might still be in the cabin.
Ignoring the danger, he rushed inside.
Halfway.
He met Ah Man and grabbed her, asking, “Where’s Yining?”
“Young Mistress was backstage just now, but I don’t know where she is now.” As Ah Man spoke, she understood that Lu Zhi was going to look for Jiang Yining. She advised, “Sir, the cruise is tilting severely now. If it capsizes, the tremendous force will drag everything into the sea. It’s too risky for you to look for Young Mistress. Let me go instead.”
“You’re wearing high heels. How are you going? Retreat first, 1’11 come later.”
Lu Zhi said coldly and didn’t stay any longer.
He continued walking forward.
Ah Man couldn’t stop him, but she was also worried.
She hesitated for a moment.
She decided to trust Lu Zhi and finally stumbled out.
Lu Zhi went to the back hall.
He saw Jiang Yining standing in the chest-high water, struggling to move forward.
He dived in, swiftly swimming to her and grabbing her wrist. “The boat is going to capsize. Why are you moving backward instead of getting out?”
“1 want to check if the batch of Curium is still there.”
Jiang Yining wasn’t willing to let go of the clue that she had obtained with great difficulty.
Ah Man had brought Thomas to inspect the goods and only gave him the Curium, but he hadn’t had the time to take it away.
If Curium disappeared, it meant that the person who blew up the ship tonight was definitely here for Curium! Judging from their ruthless behavior, they were most likely the masterminds behind Lin Yan and Lu Beicheng’s disappearance!
No matter how careful the other party was, the surveillance footage on this ship would capture valuable clues!
They could continue the investigation!
Jiang Yining had to confirm it!
She stubbornly walked forward.
Lu Zhi grabbed her shoulder and said sternly, “Which is more important, the clues or your life?”
“Both are important.” Jiang Yining looked up quietly and said, “Lu Zhi, no matter what others say, I believe that Lin Yan is still alive. She must be waiting for me to save her. I’ve been planning for so long and finally found a slim chance…! won’t give up.”
The sooner they found the clue, the sooner they could save Lin Yan and Lu Beicheng.
Jiang Yining wanted to see Lin Yan return safely.
After she finished speaking, she silently broke free from his restraint.
She wanted to check it out alone.
Lu Zhi remained silent for two seconds.
He took a step forward and grabbed her wrist firmly.
“How long do you have to walk in the water? By the time you walk in, it’ll probably be too late.”
Jiang Yining frowned. “I don’t know how to swim.”
“Get on my back. I’ll bring you in.”
Lu Zhi said in a deep voice.
Jiang Yining was stunned and said, “Lu Zhi, you don’t have to do this… It’s too dangerous.”
“Beicheng is my biological brother. It’s worth taking risks for him.” Lu Zhi urged, “Hurry up and come up. If you continue to dawdle, both of us will die today.”
Jiang Yining didn’t expect the dignified CEO Lu to use such colloquial language.
She curled her lips and obediently lay on his back.
She hugged his neck.
With Jiang Yining on his back, Lu Zhi kicked his feet effortlessly.
He dived into the water.
Qi Feng arranged for everyone to board the speedboat and send them back to shore.
He turned around and saw Ah Man stumbling out. He asked anxiously, “Where’s Sir? Where’s Young Mistress? Why didn’t they come out with you?”
“Sir went to look for Young Mistress. They should be here soon.”
Ah Man said.
Qi Feng looked at the ship that had sunk by a third and said, “I’m afraid it can’t be repaired. I’ve already instructed all the maintenance workers to board the speedboat and prepare to leave. If Sir and Young Mistress don’t evacuate in time, we’ll all be doomed.”
“Then what should we do? Should we go back and look for them?”
“Risk more lives?” Qi Feng countered, then added, “If Master was here, he would never agree to us taking the risk to save them.”
Ah Man’s brows were tightly knitted, and her heart was in her throat.
“Qi Feng, think of a solution quickly.”
Qi Feng pondered for a moment and said, “Everyone, board the boat first.
There’s no hurry. We won’t leave unless Sir and Young Mistress come out.”
“Okay.”
Ah Man nodded.
The remaining dozen or so people boarded the speedboat in an orderly manner.
At this moment, another muffled explosion rang out.
The cruise was blown into two from the middle!
The previously slowly descending ship instantly accelerated!
In the blink of an eye, half of it was drowned!
Everyone on the speedboat screamed.
Ah Man bit her lower lip tightly. Her eyes were red as she looked at the sea, searching for the two familiar figures.
Qi Feng calmly controlled the speedboat and circled around the cruise ship.
Halfway around.
Huge waves rose on the surface of the sea.
Splash!
The two people who were hugging each other tightly broke out of the water!
Qi Feng’s eyes widened. Without thinking, he rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Yining’s wrist.
He helped Lu Zhi drag her onto the speedboat.
After getting Jiang Yining on board, Lu Zhi placed his arms on the side of the boat and leaped on effortlessly.
He easily got on the boat.
Ah Man was very perceptive and drove the speedboat to the maximum.
They quickly left the cruise ship.
Less than a minute after they left, the huge cruise ship sank to the bottom of the sea and was completely submerged.
A vortex was stirred up in the surroundings.
It attracted everything around it.
The speedboat safely docked on the shore. Jiang Yining hugged her damp clothes and said, “The Curium material is gone.”
She and Lu Zhi personally opened the password-protected box that contained the Curium.
After a thorough check, it was indeed empty.
Qi Feng exclaimed, “How is that possible? We’ve had people guarding the Curium all along and we sealed off the sea after the incident. How did they manage to steal the Curium right under our noses?”
“When the explosion started, everyone panicked. They could take the opportunity to transfer the Curium. As for how to move it, it’s as simple as how they brought the bomb in.”
Lu Zhi wasn’t surprised at all.
Qi Feng lowered his head and said, “Sir, I’m sorry. I failed in my watch. Please punish me.”
“You’ve already done very well. Why should 1 punish you?” Lu Zhi looked at the trembling Jiang Yining and said to Ah Man, “Take off your coat.”
Ah Man followed his instructions.
Lu Zhi took it and wrapped Jiang Yining up tightly.
Ah Man was speechless.
As long as Sir and Young Mistress were happy.
It didn’t matter if she was cold or not.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Yining felt a little embarrassed. “Ah Man might feel cold too. 1 can endure it. Let her wear the clothes.”
As she spoke, she gestured to take it off.
Lu Zhi pressed her down and said, “She’s not cold.”
Ah Man shivered at the wrong time. She lowered her head and agreed respectfully. “Young Mistress, you should wear it. I’m not cold.”
Jiang Yining was speechless when she glanced at Lu Zhi, who was staring at Ah Man with a sinister expression.
Ah Man felt the piercing gaze and wanted to cry.
She wished she could disappear immediately.
Qi Feng looked at the three people in front of him and took off his coat. “Sir, you can give my coat to Young Mistress…”
“Give your clothes to Ah Man ”
What a joke. How could he allow Yining to wear another man’s clothes?
He wasn’t even happy about women’s clothes, alright?
Qi Feng paused for a moment before draping his clothes over Ah Man, who was shivering in fear.
Ah Man muttered softly, “Thank you.”
Actually, it wasn’t that cold. She was mainly afraid that her Boss would kill her with his gaze.
Lu Zhi retracted his gaze and said calmly, “Leave some people to clean up the wreckage, and the rest of you can go to a nearby hotel to rest.”
“Yes.”
By the time everyone arrived at the hotel, it was already past 11 in the evening.
Jiang Yining was about to take a hot bath to relax.
Unexpectedly…
Thomas came to her door to settle the score.
“Miss Jiang, I spent 50 billion dollars to buy your 100L Curium. Now that I haven’t gotten the materials, shouldn’t you compensate me?” Thomas said, “Even if you don’t give me money, you should at least give me something of the same amount, right?”
Jiang Yining smiled and said, “At that time, we had already completed the handover. It was you who didn’t have time to transport the materials away. You can’t blame me.”
“Miss Jiang, you provided the auction venue, and the security guards are also your people. Such a big thing happened, do you dare to say that you don’t have any responsibility? I seriously suspect that you guys deliberately staged this drama to frame me for my possessions and money.” Thomas insisted, “If you don’t give me a perfect solution, I’ll use the legal team to sue you.”
Jiang Yining yawned and casually replied, “Go ahead and get a lawyer. You can also get the police to investigate this matter. If they find even the slightest evidence of my wrongdoing, I’ll compensate you ten times the amount of Curium.”
After saying that, she slammed the door shut.
Thomas swallowed the rest of his words.
Inside the door.
Jiang Yining leaned against the wall, her eyes indifferent but sharp.
He wanted to find a team of lawyers to sue her?
Come on, she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to find a chance to figure out his background.
The more he acted, the more flaws he revealed.
So…
She really wanted to cling to Thomas’s thigh and beg him to hurry up and sue her!
