Chapter 863: Finally Rescued
Editor: Henyee Translations
All of this had happened too suddenly. Seeing Murong Qiao fall, Huo Yichen jumped down without thinking, wanting to save her.
“You—”
Before Jiang Weiyang could say anything, she watched as Huo Yichen became the third person and jumped down.
The water in the sea was very cold. It was so cold that it seeped into her bones and pricked her like needles, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
It was not that Murong Qiao didn’t know how to swim, so the moment she fell into the sea, his limbs instinctively slid to float up.
However, Sofia forcefully pulled her down. At this moment, her hand was still on her body. When she saw Murong Qiao looking up, she turned around and pressed her down into the water.
She really wanted to kill her.
At this moment, Murong Qiao clearly understood. She pushed the other party away without hesitation.
In the water, she was more agile than Sofia. Partly because she was good at swimming, and partly because she was wearing a blouse and pants, and Sofia’s dress was not very convenient in the water.
However, Murong Qiao’s condition was not as good as the other party’s. She had been tied up for a long time. Even after she was untied later, she had lost some feeling in her wrists and ankles, which affected her movements in the water.
Fortunately, they didn’t struggle for long. Huo Yichen’s entry into the water helped Murong Qiao resolve a lot of trouble.
The other party was clearly very strong. After pushing Sofia away, he pulled Murong Qiao away from the other party.
Looking down from the ship, the view was really a little blurry, so Jiang Weiyang couldn’t confirm what was going on after Huo Yichen jumped down. She was extremely anxious.
However, she didn’t know how to swim, so she couldn’t go down to help. Moreover, she was numb after being tied up for so long. At this moment, her hands and feet were a little weak.
Just as she was feeling extremely anxious, Huo Xiuyuan suddenly appeared with Huo Ya behind him.
“Where are they?” Looking at the empty deck and Jiang Weiyang, who was only standing there, Huo Xiuyuan frowned.
At this moment, Jiang Weiyang couldn’t care less. “They’re all in the water!!”
As soon as he heard this answer, Huo Xiuyuan immediately leaned over and looked down. However, like Jiang Weiyang, he couldn’t see anything because of his limited vision.
“Can’t we call the police?” Huo Ya asked blankly.
At this point, Huo Ya didn’t understand why Jiang Weiyang and Huo Xiuyuan, who were standing in front of her, didn’t have the slightest intention of calling the police.
At the mention of calling the police, Jiang Weiyang felt a little awkward. “I blocked the signal before leaving the port.”
She originally didn’t want to let others ruin her plan, but she didn’t expect things to develop like this.
In the sea, Huo Yichen was pulling Murong Qiao and trying his best to approach the cruise ship. He recalled the direction where he had stopped the boat just now and realized that it would take him at least ten minutes to swim there.
It would have been fine if it was on the beach, but this was the surging waves in the sea. From time to time, it would consume most of his stamina, so Huo Yichen’s originally good condition was quickly worn down by the waves.
At this moment, Murong Qiao was already a little unconscious. The coldness was still soaking her. The strength she had just now was only her survival instinct. At this moment, she was soaked in the seawater and her consciousness was a little hazy. She could no longer answer Huo Yichen’s words from time to time fluently.
Her body was too cold, so she could only be forced to cling to Huo Yichen’s body and swim with her strength.
“Hold on a little longer…”
Huo Yichen felt that the situation was not good and tried his best to swim faster. However, this was the sea. Sometimes, it was not up to him to decide if he could swim across.
The hundred-meter distance in front of him seemed to have become an insurmountable chasm. It made him feel so far away that he couldn’t reach it even after spending all his strength.
Even after swimming for half a distance, Huo Yichen couldn’t hold on anymore and his vision began to blur. The salty seawater choked his throat, causing his breathing to become chaotic for a moment.
As the boat approached, Huo Yichen couldn’t hold on anymore.
It was already difficult for one person to swim in the waves, let alone him dragging one with him.
Fortunately, it wasn’t like Huo Xiuyuan didn’t take action. When he heard Jiang Weiyang say that they had fallen into the sea, he started looking around for a way to go down. Not long after, he discovered the small boat that Huo Yichen had come in.
Huo Xiuyuan used the ladder beside the cruise ship to descend and happened to see Huo Yichen swimming over. He gave the other party a hand and barely brought Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen onto the ship.
“Qiaoqiao?”
Huo Yichen slowed down slightly and subconsciously called out, but he didn’t receive a response from Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao’s eyes were tightly closed as she lay motionless on the small boat. Only her chest was still rising and falling weakly, indicating her remaining vitality.
However, Huo Yichen felt that something was wrong. He reached out and touched Murong Qiao’s wet face. His palm only felt a chill moving up, but when it reached her forehead, he found a completely different temperature.
“She has a fever.” Huo Yichen’s expression turned extremely ugly.
Jiang Weiyang also knew that the situation was serious and immediately said, “I saved some fuel for the boat. Let’s drive it back directly.”
When Huo Yichen heard this, he immediately looked at the fuel gauge beside him, but the needle had already stopped at the red spot.
When Jiang Weiyang came over, she also saw him. Her tone immediately became stuttery, and she even hurriedly waved her hand. “I really kept it. Believe me!”
Even if she was targeting Murong Qiao and wanted her to die here, she had never thought of letting Huo Yichen die here.
Huo Yichen didn’t speak. Huo Xiuyuan seemed to understand something when he saw this. The two of them looked at each other, but at this moment, they had the same tacit understanding and thought of Sofia.
Just because Jiang Weiyang didn’t think of this didn’t mean that Sofia wouldn’t.
However, Murong Qiao was having a fever at this moment. Clearly, she couldn’t wait any longer. Just as they were at a loss, they suddenly heard the sound of a speedboat appearing nearby.
When she heard this voice, Huo Ya thought that she was hallucinating. “Did you hear something…?”
She asked uncertainly.
“I heard it too,” Huo Xiuyuan said.
Huo Yichen stood up and looked around.
However, they didn’t see any passing speedboats in their vision. Just as they thought that there was something wrong with their ears, they saw a heavy speedboat sailing over from the other end of the cruise.
The people standing on it were the Murong brothers.
After Huo Yichen went to look for clues and left, they were in a deadlock. Then, they received the surveillance video sent by the other party.
However, when they wanted to contact Huo Yichen, they realized that the other party’s phone was switched off. Jiang Chi realized that something was wrong and directly explained the situation to Murong Chen and the others.
When they heard that something had happened to their Little Sister, the Big Brothers couldn’t sit still anymore.
Not to mention the fact that she had disappeared. Hence, they followed the surveillance video and investigated. Along the way, they used all kinds of resources to find the whereabouts of the black van and then found this place.
