I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?
Jiang Can co...
Yin Ruohong followed behind the two men sullenly. Sometimes, when he saw Huo Zhixing's hands groping Jiang Can, he felt an urge to stab him with a needle.
But then he thought about it again, and the fact that the two of them had a good relationship was something he wanted to see.
Yin Ruohong's lips curled up slightly.
He finally decided not to be a third wheel and was about to turn around and ask the servant to take him to the big ship when he suddenly noticed two furtive figures flash by.
"Who is it?" Yin Ruohong asked sharply.
The two men quickly ran towards the driver's seat, and Yin Ruohong, with a bad feeling, also chased after them.
He chased after them to the driver's seat, where there seemed to be some movement.
"Is anyone home?" His heart sank, and he went up to knock on the door.
During those few silent seconds, only the sound of the waves echoed in his ears.
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and Yin Ruohong hurriedly dodged, but the two men who rushed out of the driver's seat pointed their dark gun barrels at him.
He was startled.
Those two are Huo Zhanhe's men!
"Chairman Yin," one of them said coldly, "this matter is none of your concern. Please don't meddle!"
"What do you want?" Yin Ruohong raised her voice. "How did you end up on this ship!"
This is a concert by the Bai family, and the yacht belongs to Bai Jingyuan.
But Huo Zhanhe's men showed up!
"Ha, Huo Zhanhe wants to use Bai Jingyuan's territory to cause trouble?" Yin Ruohong sneered. "Not only will he get rid of the people who are in his way, but he will also frame the Bai family! What a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone!"
"President Yin, we've already said this has nothing to do with you!"
"If you want to touch Huo Zhixing, you'll have to get past me first!"
Although Yin Ruohong was old, he was still agile and kicked the gun out of one of the men's hands.
The other man was terrified and raised his gun to aim at him. Yin Ruohong dodged to the side, and the bullet hit the railing with a sharp bang and sparks!
The driver and his assistant had been killed by the two men and thrown into the sea.
"Huo Zhixing!" Yin Ruohong shouted, "Take Cancan and go! Go now!"
Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can heard the commotion and rushed over.
The two henchmen worked together to defeat Yin Ruohong.
The pistol fell onto the deck. Jiang Can reacted quickly, stepping forward and kicking the gun away! The two men suddenly turned around, glaring at her fiercely, and pounced on her.
In the critical moment, Huo Zhixing desperately shielded her!
"You guys get out of here!" Yin Ruohong staggered over and used all her strength to hold off the two men. "Contact Bai Jingyuan, get out of here!"
Huo Zhixing's heart tightened.
Is the Yin Ruohong who is desperately protecting him and Jiang Can at this moment the same Yin Ruohong who tampered with things on the plane?
Or... is there really something more to it?
"What are you standing there for!" Yin Ruohong shouted hysterically, "Take Cancan and go!"
After he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by his two henchmen, who then punched and kicked him until he could no longer hold on.
Upon seeing this, Huo Zhixing first protected Jiang Can and moved her behind some wooden barrels on the deck. After settling her in, he quickly ran to rescue Yin Ruohong!
Huo Zhixing was agile and quick, and the two men were no match for him. One slipped and fell into the sea along the railing, while the other was beaten so badly that he was lying on the ground unable to get up after only a few moves.
He stepped forward and helped Yin Ruohong up.
In that instant, the man raised his pistol and pointed it at him!
Yin Ruohong reacted quickly, shoving Huo Zhixing aside! Bullets struck the deck, releasing a strong smell of gunpowder.
Huo Zhixing's face suddenly darkened. He pulled out his Desert Eagle and calmly fired, hitting the man squarely in the calf.
The man let out a scream.
Huo Zhixing, panting heavily, strode up to him and looked down at him.
"Whose side are you on?"
The man gritted his teeth but remained silent.
"I know even if you don't say it. After all, there are only a handful of people in this world who want me dead!"
"Heh, Young Master Huo," the man's face was deathly pale, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "Want to know who sent me?"
He raised his bloodied finger and pointed it at Yin Ruohong.
"You're talking nonsense!" Yin Ruohong roared. "You're clearly Huo Zhanhe's man!"
The man smiled, dragged his badly injured leg, and leaped into the sea, quickly disappearing into the vast ocean.
Jiang Can, still shaken, walked out from behind, her body trembling.
Huo Zhixing held her tightly in his arms.
"What...what exactly happened?"
The large bloodstains on the deck were shocking, and the injuries on Yin Ruohong's body and face were also frightening.
Jiang Can bit her lip and remained silent.
Yin Ruohong sighed, "Those two are Huo Zhanhe's subordinates. I've seen them before."
"But I don't know how they infiltrated the Bai family or how they got on this yacht."
"When I noticed them just now, they came out of the driver's seat..."
At this point, Yin Ruohong suddenly realized something and turned pale with shock.
"Their entry into the cockpit may have altered the course!"
Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can also looked around.
The yacht has indeed moved far away from the cruise ship.
They rushed to the wheelhouse, where the screen showed the yacht had veered off course. Huo Zhixing immediately tried to contact Bai Jingyuan, but the radio was malfunctioning and the cell phone had no signal. The small boat was like an isolated island adrift on the sea, cut off from the world.
"Zhixing, fog has risen over the sea!" Jiang Can exclaimed in surprise.
Huo Zhixing and Yin Ruohong looked up at the same time.
The sky, which had just been clear, had turned gloomy, with dark clouds pressing down on the horizon, as if a storm was about to break.
The weather has been quite unpredictable lately.
Jiang Can held Huo Zhixing's hand tightly. She was a little nervous, but she didn't want him to worry.
The yacht was veering further and further off course, and had completely lost contact with the Bai family.
Yin Ruohong walked to the cockpit, but this highly specialized tool looked like gibberish to him, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
The wind picked up, and the boat rocked violently. Huo Zhixing held onto Jiang Can, desperately trying to contact the outside world in various ways.
However, it was all in vain.
A huge wave suddenly crashed over, flooding the deck and causing the ship to tilt to one side.
Yin Ruohong pulled out life jackets for the two of them.
"Put them on quickly!"
He only found two items, and at that point he couldn't care less about anything else.
"Uncle, what are you going to do!" Jiang Can exclaimed anxiously.
"I'm fine." Yin Ruohong smiled at her, then looked at Huo Zhixing and said, word by word, "Take good care of her. You all must live well!"
Huo Zhixing had a strange feeling in his heart.
"You little brat, what are you staring at! I told you to take good care of her, did you agree?"
Huo Zhixing nodded; there was no time to think too much at a time like this.
He helped Jiang Can put on her life jacket and gave Yin Ruohong a meaningful look.
The boat became even more unstable, and every step felt like walking a tightrope.
Yin Ruohong then went to find a lifeboat.
But just then, a huge wave crashed in!
Jiang Can felt as if she had lost her weight and slid off the deck. Huo Zhixing held her hand tightly.
The wind and rain raged, and she couldn't open her eyes no matter what she did. Wave after wave crashed over her, and the small boat drifted on the sea, teetering on the brink of capsizing...
