Tan Zhengchu dived into the water without fear, with only Su Yingxue's figure in his eyes.
He swam hard and touched Su Yingxue's clothes in the water.
Then he pulled her into his arms and swam to the surface with all his might.
"Cough cough..." Su Yingxue coughed violently after being rescued, her face full of fear.
Tan Zhengchu had no time to comfort her and turned to look at A Qian.
At this time, A Qian was also forced into a corner by the water, his eyes full of despair.
Tan Zhengchu gritted his teeth and rushed towards her against the current.
His body was like a tough sword, splitting the surging waves.
When he got close to Asahi, he held out his hand: "Catch me!"
A Qian seemed to have grasped the last glimmer of hope and held Tan Zhengchu's hand tightly.
Tan Zhengchu steadied his body and swam with A Qian towards the safe zone in his memory.
Along the way, the water kept hitting them and almost separated them again several times.
Veins bulged on Tan Zhengchu's arms from exerting too much force, and every step he took seemed like a tug-of-war with death.
He shouted loudly, "Hold on!" His voice sounded particularly firm in the chaotic environment.
Finally, they saw the safe zone where Lao San and Zhao Da Kuang were.
Lao San and Zhao Da Kuang were waiting anxiously in the safe zone.
Seeing Tan Zhengchu and the others rushing over, the third brother waved and shouted, "Boss, this way! Quick!"
Zhao Dakuang's gaze fell on Su Yingxue, and a hint of complex emotions flashed across his face.
The third brother quickly supported Ah Qian and said gently, "Ah Qian, don't be afraid, follow me."
A Qian grabbed the third brother's arm tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Zhao Da Kuang walked up to Su Yingxue, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Su, hurry up, it's dangerous here."
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment and looked at Tan Zhengchu, who nodded slightly.
Su Yingxue held Zhao Dakuang's hand tremblingly and slowly walked towards the rope ladder leading to the boat.
Tan Zhengchu pushed A Qian up first, and then used up his last bit of strength to send Su Yingxue to the safe zone.
He climbed to the safe area with the help of the third brother.
After coming up, Tan Zhengchu collapsed to the ground.
He was breathing heavily, but his eyes still showed his relief at surviving the disaster and his concern for Su Yingxue and A Qian.
Su Yingxue sat on the small boat, her eyes wide open, staring at the sinking cruise ship.
The sea water slammed against the boat, and every shake made her heart rise to her throat.
She shouted nervously: "If this cruise ship sinks, will it drag us down with it? Come down quickly!"
Her hands gripped the edge of the boat tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Tan Zhengchu responded on the cruise ship: "Yingxue, don't be afraid, everything will be fine, we will be down soon."
His voice was steady and powerful, bringing a sense of comfort to Su Yingxue.
Zhao Dakuang watched the interaction between Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue, with jealousy burning in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and his fists clenched and unclenched at his sides.
He thought to himself: "Why does she only have eyes for Tan Zhengchu? Why am I inferior to him?"
His eyes were like two sharp blades, stabbing at Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue fiercely, and the jealousy almost swallowed him.
People jumped from the cruise ship to the boat one after another, each of them filled with fear of surviving a disaster.
Tan Zhengchu was the last one to jump down. While he was in the air,
His eyes were always fixed on Su Yingxue.
He landed steadily on the boat, and immediately held Su Yingxue's hands and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Su Yingxue threw herself into Tan Zhengchu's arms, her body shaking. She cried and said, "Zhengchu, I thought I would never see you again. It was so terrible just now."
Tan Zhengchu stroked her hair and said softly, "It's all over, dear. We are safe now."
Su Yingxue lay in his arms, feeling the familiar warmth, and gradually calmed down.
Zhao Dakuang looked at Su Yingxue's sweet appearance as she snuggled in Tan Zhengchu's arms, and his eyes turned red with jealousy.
He clenched his hands tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel the pain at all.
His chest heaved violently and his breathing became rapid and heavy.
He roared in his heart: "Tan Zhengchu, how can you have her? I won't let you have it easy!"
His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue, as if he wanted to engrave this scene in his mind and make it the motivation for his revenge.
Lao Wu drove the small boat and sped across the rough sea.
After more than an hour of difficult sailing, we finally saw the outline of the shore.
When approaching the shore, the boat shook violently, and Su Yingxue's legs became stiff due to long-term tension and fear.
As soon as she stood up, she stumbled and almost fell.
Tan Zhengchu was quick to pick her up and walked quickly towards the car waiting on the shore.
His eyes were full of heartache and concern, and he held Su Yingxue carefully, as if she was the most precious baby in the world.
The third brother ran to Tan Zhengchu, his face full of guilt and gratitude.
He bowed deeply and said, “Boss, this time it’s all thanks to you.
If you hadn't been so calm, Qian and the rest of you might have been eaten by the fish.
You saved my life, so I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if it means being a slave."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and patted the third brother on the shoulder, saying, "Okay, don't be so polite. But this incident also reminds us that we can't be so reckless in the future.
Especially you, don't do anything in such a dangerous place, especially something as important as proposing, it's too dangerous on the water. Haha!"
The third brother scratched his head and said regretfully, "Boss, this time it's my fault. I was also wondering why the cruise ship suddenly took on water.
Maybe I didn’t check it carefully enough. I will go to the seller tomorrow to ask him about it and find out the reason.”
Tan Zhengchu frowned and said solemnly: "This matter is not that simple, maybe someone deliberately sabotaged it.
We have to investigate this thoroughly and not just let it go.”
Zhao Dakuang stood on the shore and watched Tan Zhengchu carrying Su Yingxue into the car, and the car slowly drove away from the port.
His face was full of loss and unwillingness, and his eyes revealed deep jealousy and resentment.
He felt as if his heart was torn apart and the pain was unbearable.
He called the second brother and said in a cold tone: "Send someone to investigate what Su Yingxue's seven children like. I want to know no matter what method is used.
I will start with them and let Su Yingxue notice me. I don't believe that I can't be better than Tan Zhengchu."
There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes, as if he was planning a conspiracy.
Zhao Er glanced at him, nodded, and turned away.
Zhao Dakuang was the only one left standing on the shore, looking at the car going away, the fire of jealousy in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
As soon as Su Yingxue returned home, she collapsed on the bed as if all her strength had been drained away.
The biting cold wind and icy water at sea eventually made her sick, and very sick.
