Huo Qizhen held Jian Yu's hand tightly and never let go throughout the entire process.
The safety officers surrounded the two of them, but their eyes were always focused on Jian Yu, observing her every move to ensure that a rescue operation could be launched as quickly as possible if any abnormality was found.
In such a reassuring atmosphere, the stress response that Jian Yu had initially experienced from falling into the water gradually began to disappear, and her body became more and more agile and light.
Before we knew it, three hours had passed in a flash.
Although Jian Yu was already tired, he was reluctant to go ashore.
Finally, Huo Qizhen managed to pull Jian Yu out of the water.
"Alright, that's enough for today. We'll continue exploring the underwater world tomorrow. If you keep swimming like this, you'll become too tired and it will affect your condition the next day. You might not be able to dive anymore."
Hearing this, Jian Yu was somewhat reluctant, but she still obediently nodded and followed Huo Qizhen ashore.
The staff on the shore had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing this, they rushed over with large bath towels and quickly draped them over Jian Yu.
They were afraid she'd catch a cold if they hesitated even for a second.
Behind these staff members, others were holding steaming hot water and refreshing cold drinks.
Jian Yu first took a cold drink and drank it all in one gulp before following the staff toward the shower area.
After Jianyu finished tidying up, a sumptuous dinner was already laid out on the table.
Jian Yu had exhausted herself all day and was starving. Every dish looked incredibly tempting.
Jian Yu quickly ran to the dining table and couldn't wait to start eating heartily.
Sitting to the side, Huo Qizhen watched Jian Yu wolf down her food and said softly, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke. After you finish eating, walk around the room to help digest, so you don't feel uncomfortable from indigestion later."
With his mouth full of food, Jian Yu nodded vaguely, as if to indicate his agreement.
After she put down her chopsticks, she stood up and prepared to walk around a few times to aid digestion.
Huo Qizhen added, "Just walk around the room a few times, don't go to the gym area."
Jian Yu nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, she began to stroll slowly around the room.
After spinning around for a dozen times, Jian Yu felt a little tired, so she slowly sat down on the sofa next to her, intending to rest for a while before getting up to continue her activities.
At this moment, Huo Qizhen handed the tablet computer in his hand to Jian Yu.
Jian Yu was slightly taken aback, only then remembering that Bao Yanbai was still in that desolate, uninhabited area!
Her heart tightened, and she quickly took the tablet, anxiously asking, "How is he now?"
The words had barely left his mouth when a chilling wolf howl emanated from the tablet's speaker.
"Hmm..."
Upon hearing this voice, Jian Yu froze instantly.
Immediately afterwards, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
"Wolves?"
Jian Yu stared at the tablet screen with a look of horror on his face.
The scene on the screen had changed from the original one to another car.
But Bao Yanbai was all alone in that car!
He looked extremely disheveled, his collar was in disarray, his tie was nowhere to be seen, and his eyes were fixed on the monitor inside the car.
Through the screen, one can see a dozen huge wolves desperately chasing his vehicle amidst the swirling yellow sand.
The wolves ran incredibly fast, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws. Jian Yu was so nervous she didn't dare breathe, gripping the tablet tightly with both hands. "Won't these wolves break through the car windows?"
He kept praying in his heart that Bao Yanbai would get rid of the wolf pack as soon as possible.
Her eyes never left the screen, afraid of missing any crucial moment.
"Don't worry, this car has been specially modified. The windows are bulletproof, so the wolves can't easily break through it."
"That's good."
Jian Yu breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of the water beside him.
Gradually, Jian Yu frowned again. "Why are the wolves getting closer? Wolves can't possibly outrun a car, can they? What's going on?"
As she spoke, Jian Yu suddenly realized, "Is the car out of gas?"
Turning the car's in-car camera around, and pointing the lens at the dashboard, Jian Yu dropped the cup in her hand, her voice trembling, "Where's the gasoline?"
"The driver deliberately didn't add any extras."
Jian Yu suddenly turned her head to look at Huo Qizhen, "Isn't this...isn't this going too far?"
"I will not allow anyone to bully Tingzhen in the slightest! Anyone who dares to do so will pay a heavy price!"
"But the so-called blind date was just wishful thinking on the part of Bao Yanbai's parents. Didn't Bao Yanbai refuse to agree?"
"When the wife of the Sunrise Group asked Bao Yanbai's mother what had happened between him and Tingzhen, his mother relentlessly criticized Tingzhen, saying that Tingzhen had no respect for elders, was very arrogant and willful, and was difficult to serve! She was not suitable for their family at all."
Jian Yu was speechless, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Is refusing to marry disrespectful to elders?
That's utter nonsense!
Just because someone doesn't want to get married, does that mean they have to be labeled with such a serious accusation?
What kind of twisted logic is this?
Jian Yu was looking down when she suddenly heard the sound of a video call. She turned her head and saw Huo Tingzhen on the screen, his face filled with tension and worry.
"Brother, what's going on in the video you just sent me? Why were so many ferocious wolves following Bao Yanbai's car?"
Huo Tingzhen stared blankly at his phone screen. "I had someone take him to the no-man's-land."
\"What?\"
Huo Tingzhen's eyes widened in disbelief. "Brother???"
"The Bao family actually dared to openly speak ill of our Huo family's daughter. Of course, I have to teach them a lesson so they know they can't just bully anyone."
"Brother..." Huo Tingzhen's cry sounded heart-wrenching. "How could you do this? Even if Bao Yanbai wronged me, I will naturally seek justice for myself. What are you meddling for? Quickly send your men to save him!"
Huo Tingzhen remained unmoved. "I won't save him. Leaving him your car is already showing him mercy."
"You..." Huo Tingzhen was so angry that he couldn't speak. After taking a deep breath, he shouted at the front, "Turn around and fly the plane back. I need to go and rescue people."
Huo Qizhen simply watched without interfering.
Looking at his calm face, Huo Tingzhen closed her eyes in anger and hung up the phone.
