"Zhuo Chen——" the woman's panicked cry rang out in the chaotic cabin.
"Mommy, I'm here." Jing Zhuochen turned around and waved to the noble lady who had a panicked look on her face.
The lady struggled to steady herself, rushed forward, pulled her son over, and shouted, "Who told you to run around? Hurry up, the boat is going to sink."
Little Ningbao was holding the kettle and fell to the ground. He cried out of grievance and fear: "Brother..."
Jing Zhuochen, who was being dragged away, looked back at her frequently, but saw that there was no adult beside her. He struggled in his heart for a while, but finally stopped.
"Mommy, that little sister has gotten separated from her family. Can we take her with us?"
The lady turned around and looked at the helpless little Ning Bao. The way she burst into tears was really pitiful.
"She's so small, she won't take up much space. She'll die if I don't take her with me."
The lady was obviously not a cruel and cold-blooded person, and she agreed to take little Ningbao with her.
The Jing family is currently the largest clothing exporter in Hong Kong and has a good economic status, so the family enjoys priority right of escape.
When the crew was distributing life jackets to Ningbao, a little girl who was slightly older than her took the lead and snatched the life jacket from her.
The girl had a domineering personality and looked at Xiao Ningbao with disgust: "She is a mainland prostitute and has no right to wear a life jacket." After saying that, she pushed Xiao Ningbao in a bad mood.
Little Ningbao staggered when she pushed him, but he held back his tears and pushed her back hard.
The little girl was pushed hard and fell down. She sat on the deck and started crying.
Her parents came over upon hearing the noise and immediately picked up their daughter like a treasure to vent her anger.
Unfortunately, the passenger ship suddenly tilted violently, and at the critical moment of life and death, they had to temporarily put aside these trivial matters.
Jing Zhuochen's mother asked for a life jacket for Xiao Ningbao to put on again, and then Jing Zhuochen pulled her onto the emergency lifeboat.
Once they were on the boat, it didn't mean they were out of danger.
The sea was very rough, dark and cold, and we could only barely determine the direction based on the guidance of the compass.
The darkness ahead is suffocating, but it is even more dangerous if you don't get away from the sinking ship as soon as possible, because you will be sucked into the whirlpool caused by the sinking.
In order to survive, the boat rode the wind and waves and sank into the darkness...
Little Ningbao sat between Jing Zhuochen and his mother, shivering with cold.
"Don't be afraid, it will be fine." Eight-year-old Jing Zhuochen is much calmer than other children of the same age.
"Brother, is there a monster in the water?" Little Ningbao held Jing Zhuochen's hand, as if he was mistaking this handsome little brother for Pei Yuxiu.
"What's your name?" Jing Zhuochen asked, holding her cold little hand.
"Pei Sining."
"My name is Jing Zhuochen..."
"Hmph, I hate you!" The girl sitting opposite who snatched Xiao Ningbao's life jacket was very angry.
Just when the children were about to start quarreling again, several huge waves came one after another and the boat capsized instantly.
Little Ningbao fell into the icy cold water. As she floated up and down, the once clear images in her mind gradually blurred until she was completely plunged into darkness...
When Pei Tingyu and Si Yang rushed to Haicheng, they were met with bad news.
The passenger ship that Xiao Ningbao was on capsized and sank in the sea.
Although a maritime search and rescue team has been dispatched, the latest news received is that, except for the 43 tourists on two of the emergency escape boats, all the people on the other escape boat and the rest of the people remaining on the passenger ship were killed.
The couple knew Xiao Ningbao's situation very well. How could those profit-seeking people take the worthless Xiao Ningbao onto the lifeboat?
In such a harsh environment, it was impossible for Xiao Ningbao to survive by luck.
"Didn't I tell you to seize the boat? Why are you letting it go?"
Si Yang became hysterical for the first time.
Pei Tingyu felt as if a piece of his heart was being torn out, but he didn't believe that his daughter was gone just like that, and he still had a glimmer of hope.
Maybe Xiao Ningbao was not on that ship?
Maybe she was taken to a lifeboat?
After Si Yang calmed down, he thought the same thing as him, and the couple rushed to meet the survivors without stopping.
However, they were forced to face the most desperate situation.
Xiao Ningbao was not among the survivors, but some of the survivors had seen Xiao Ningbao on the ship.
When Pei Tingyu's last glimmer of hope was shattered, this mountain-like man bent his back for the first time.
"Impossible, my Ningning will not die..." Si Yang didn't know how he got to that sea area.
She used Annie's technical means to conduct a deep scan of the sea area and successfully found the shipwreck three days later, but the current salvage technology was unable to raise the ship.
So Si Yang deployed underwater exploration equipment and went inside to search for the bodies. She spent over a week searching every corner of the ship and discovered no fewer than a hundred bodies, but not Xiao Ningbao's.
But even so, it does not mean that Xiao Ningbao is still alive, because the waves will wash away the body.
But none of them wanted to say it out loud, and they only comforted themselves that as long as there was no corpse, little Ningbao was not dead yet.
The search and rescue was over. After Pei Tingyu went back to bury Hu Ya, he vented all his anger for losing his daughter on the trafficking gang.
In just three days, dozens of people were arrested, and several people who were directly involved in the kidnapping of Xiao Ningbao were beaten to disability in prison.
Si Yang fell seriously ill again, and he would cry secretly every night looking at the photo of little Ningbao.
Yubao became silent and cold, as if he would never smile again...
