Chapter 116: Ambiguity
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to him. Go back first. You can ask the uncles to come and help you. Be obedient!"
Seeing Xiaoqiu leave, Chi Muzhen turned around and jumped into the water again.
Not long after, Shi Yiheng's figure was seen underwater.
Chi Muzhen quickly swam over and grabbed him, and finally brought Shi Yiheng out of the water. However, Chi Muzhen found that they were now very far away from the shore, and she did not have the physical strength to swim back with Shi Yiheng.
Seeing that the roof of Xiaoqiu's house was not far away and had not been submerged, Chi Muzhen swam over with Shi Yiheng without any hesitation.
After reaching the roof, Chi Muzhen asked Shi Yiheng to lie flat on the roof and began to press his stomach.
After a while, Shi Yiheng spat out a few mouthfuls of water and slowly woke up.
When he saw Chi Muzhen, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Thinking it was his own hallucination, he unconsciously reached out to touch her face.
Chi Muzhen didn't expect him to do this suddenly. She was stunned for a moment and didn't have time to avoid it.
It was not until he felt the warmth on her face that Shi Yiheng realized that this was not a dream. He abruptly withdrew his hand, a flash of panic in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I just thought it was an illusion."
Chi Muzhen didn't care and nodded, "You take a rest first."
She stood up and looked around. Except for the roof of Xiaoqiu's house, basically the area within a radius of several hundred meters was flooded.
If she were alone, she could still swim back, but with Shi Yiheng, she would probably run out of energy halfway through the swim.
Shi Yiheng stood up and frowned unconsciously after seeing the situation around him.
"You shouldn't have come back to save me."
Although he was very happy that Chi Muzhen did not abandon him, in his heart, Chi Muzhen's safety was more important.
Chi Muzhen turned her head and looked at him, raised her eyebrows and said, "If it was me who was drowning, would you abandon me and leave?"
"Won't."
"So I won't abandon you."
The water level quickly rose to the roof and was already up to the ankles of the two people.
The heavy rain still did not stop. Shi Yiheng knew very well that if the two of them continued to stay here, they would be waiting to die.
He looked at Chi Muzhen, "Muzhen, can you swim back by yourself?"
Chi Muzhen was about to speak when suddenly they both felt empty.
Xiaoqiu's house had collapsed suddenly because it had been in disrepair for a long time and had been soaked in water.
Chi Muzhen quickly grabbed Shi Yiheng, thus preventing the two from being separated by the water.
"Mu Zhen, please let me go. I am a burden to you now."
He reached out to push away Chi Muzhen's hand that was grabbing his clothes, but Chi Muzhen suddenly shouted angrily: "Don't move!"
Shi Yiheng paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "If this continues, we will both die."
Chi Muzhen frowned and said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, if I really reach my limit, I will give up you and save myself without you saying it."
After all, although she regarded Shi Yiheng as a friend, the most important thing to her was her own life.
"I don't want to burden you."
Chi Muzhen didn't say anything else and dragged Shi Yiheng slowly towards the shore.
When they were about ten meters away from the shore, a wave suddenly came and pushed Chi Muzhen and Shi Yiheng another seven or eight meters away from the shore.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and continued swimming towards the shore.
Shi Yiheng was anxious and hated himself for not being able to swim, otherwise he would not have become a burden to Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen felt that his physical strength was gradually draining away, and his movements were getting slower and slower. With waves coming one after another, he was still halfway to the shore after swimming for half an hour.
Shi Yiheng obviously also noticed this. He was silent for a few seconds and made a decision in his heart.
He reached out and held Chi Muzhen's hand that was grabbing his clothes, and slowly pried her fingers apart.
Chi Muzhen's expression changed drastically, "Shi Yiheng, what are you doing?!"
Shi Yiheng smiled and said slowly, "Mu Zhen, that's enough. Thank you."
He wanted to tell her how he felt about her, but he didn't want to cause her any trouble.
Forget it, let it be.
Just when Shi Yiheng was about to pull his clothes out of Chi Muzhen's hands, the roar of an airplane suddenly sounded above his head.
The two looked up and saw a helicopter circling overhead.
The next second, the cabin door opened, and a person wearing a life jacket slowly descended with a lifebelt.
When he was four or five meters away from the water surface, Huo Yunting saw two people in the water with terribly gloomy faces.
Seeing that it was Huo Yunting, Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with shock, and there was an indescribable shock.
Shouldn't he be in Rongcheng? !
Could it be that he knew that there was a heavy rain in Qingcheng and came to find me on purpose?
Thinking of this possibility, her heart beat faster and faster, and something in her heart seemed to be breaking out of the ground.
Huo Yunting stopped not far from the two of them with a dark face, threw a life belt to Chi Muzhen, and said coldly: "Tie it up yourself!"
Chi Muzhen handed the life belt to Shi Yiheng, "You go up first."
Before Shi Yiheng could say anything, Huo Yunting couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Chi Muzhen!"
Chi Muzhen raised her eyes and looked at him, "Shi Yiheng can't swim."
Huo Yunting's cold gaze fell on him, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"Hurry up!"
Shi Yiheng wanted to refuse, but Chi Muzhen tied the lifebelt around him directly.
Huo Yunting grabbed the lifebelt on Shi Yiheng and ordered the people above to start collecting the lifebelt.
Five minutes later, Shi Yiheng was rescued and put on the helicopter.
"Thanks."
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "I didn't come here to look for you. Saving you was just a side job."
Slowly descending to the air more than ten meters above the water surface, Huo Yunting was about to throw the lifebelt to Chi Muzhen. When he saw the scene in the distance out of the corner of his eye, his face suddenly changed.
He took out a dagger from his bag, cut the rope directly, and fell straight into the water.
Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment. Before she could understand why Huo Yunting did this, she clearly felt the water flow beside her become faster.
She turned her head and saw a huge wave coming towards her quickly.
The next second, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Huo Yunting pulled her and swam quickly in the direction of the water.
However, the huge wave was so fast that it swept the two of them in an instant...
When Shi Yiheng saw this scene on the helicopter, his heart tightened unconsciously, and endless panic and guilt came over him.
"Mu Zhen!"
He turned around and was about to jump out of the helicopter, but was stopped by Koning.
"Are you crazy?! You'll die if you jump down now!"
After the pilot closed the door, the entire helicopter cabin fell into silence.
Ke Ning quickly made a phone call and said, "The president was swept away by a huge wave. Send a search and rescue team immediately!"
Shi Yiheng sat blankly on the chair, looking like a sculpture that had lost its soul.
Soon, the news that Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting were swept away by the huge waves spread back to Shili Village.
After Bai Ruru and Xu Qing found out, their faces turned extremely ugly.
Xu Qing looked regretful and said, "If only I had stopped her when President Chi left, then she wouldn't have gotten into any trouble!"
Bai Ruru sighed, "She is our boss. She is the only one who can give us orders. How can we interfere with her decisions?"
Seeing that Xu Qing didn't say anything else, Bai Ruru said, "I'm going out to get some fresh air."
The rain gradually subsided. Bai Ruru found a quiet corner, took out her spare cell phone and made a call.
"Boss, Chi Muzhen was swept away by the waves. It's unlikely that she will survive."
