Chapter 98 Darling, we're safe
Tan Zhengchu dived into the water without fear, his eyes fixed on Su Yingxue's figure.
He swam with all his might and finally found Su Yingxue's clothes in the water.
Then he pulled her into his arms and swam towards the surface of the water with all his might.
"Cough cough..." Su Yingxue coughed violently after being rescued, her face full of terror.
Before Tan Zhengchu could offer any comfort, he turned to look at A Qian.
At this moment, A-Qian was also forced into a corner by the water, her eyes filled with despair.
Tan Zhengchu gritted his teeth and rushed towards her against the current.
His body was like a sturdy sword, cleaving through the surging waves.
As he approached Asahi, he reached out his hand: "Grab me!"
As if grasping at the last glimmer of hope, A-Qian held onto Tan Zhengchu's hand tightly.
Tan Zhengchu steadied himself and swam with A Qian toward the safe zone he remembered.
Along the way, the water kept crashing against them, and several times it almost separated them again.
Tan Zhengchu's arms were bulging with veins from excessive exertion, and every step he took felt like a tug-of-war with death.
He shouted, "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 waited anxiously in the safe zone.
Seeing Tan Zhengchu and the others arrive, the third brother hurriedly waved and shouted, "Boss, over here! Quick!"
Zhao Da Kuang's gaze fell on Su Yingxue, a complex emotion flashing across his face.
The third brother quickly helped A-Qian up and said gently, "A-Qian, don't be afraid, come with me."
Ah Qian clung tightly to Lao San's arm, as if grasping at a lifeline.
Zhao Dakang walked to Su Yingxue's side, extended his hand and said, "Miss Su, hurry, it's dangerous here."
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tan Zhengchu, who nodded slightly.
Su Yingxue grasped Zhao Dakang's hand with trembling hands and slowly walked towards the rope ladder leading to the small boat.
Tan Zhengchu first pushed A Qian up, and then used his last bit of strength to send Su Yingxue to the safe zone as well.
He himself, pulled by the third brother, climbed up to the safe zone.
After coming up, Tan Zhengchu collapsed to the ground.
He was panting heavily, but his eyes still revealed the relief of surviving the ordeal and his concern for Su Yingxue and A Qian.
Su Yingxue sat on the small boat, her eyes wide open, staring intently at the continuously sinking cruise ship.
The seawater lapped against the small boat, and with each sway, her heart leaped into her throat.
She cried out anxiously, "If this cruise ship sinks, will it drag us down with it? You guys come down quickly!"
Her hands gripped the edge of the small boat tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Tan Zhengchu responded from the cruise ship: "Yingxue, don't be afraid, everything will be alright, we'll be off right away."
His voice was steady and powerful, bringing a sense of comfort to Su Yingxue.
As Zhao Dakuang watched the interaction between Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue, the flames of jealousy burned fiercely in his eyes.
His lips twitched slightly, and his fists clenched and unclenched at his sides.
He thought to himself, "Why is Tan Zhengchu the only one in her eyes? What is it about me that I don't have compared to him?"
His gaze was like two sharp blades, piercing fiercely at Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue; his jealousy almost consumed him.
One by one, the people jumped from the cruise ship onto the small boat, each carrying the terror of surviving a disaster.
Tan Zhengchu was the last to jump; in the instant he was in the air,
His gaze remained fixed on Su Yingxue.
He landed steadily on the small boat, immediately grasped Su Yingxue's hands, and pulled her tightly into his arms.
Su Yingxue threw herself into Tan Zhengchu's arms, her body trembling uncontrollably. She cried and said, "Zhengchu, I thought I would never see you again. What just happened was really terrifying."
Tan Zhengchu gently stroked her hair and said tenderly, "It's all over now, darling. We're safe now."
Nestled in his arms, Su Yingxue felt the familiar warmth and gradually calmed down.
Zhao Da Kuang's eyes turned red with jealousy as he looked at Su Yingxue nestled sweetly in Tan Zhengchu's arms.
His hands were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
His chest heaved violently, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.
He roared inwardly, "Tan Zhengchu, what right do you have to have her? I won't let you get away with this!"
His eyes were filled with resentment as he stared intently at Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue, as if he wanted to etch the scene into his mind and make it the driving force for his revenge.
The fifth brother steered the small boat at high speed across the turbulent sea.
After more than an hour of arduous sailing, we finally saw the outline of the shore.
As the boat approached the shore, it jolted violently, and Su Yingxue's legs became stiff from prolonged tension and fear.
She had just stood up when she stumbled and almost fell.
Tan Zhengchu reacted quickly, picking her up and walking briskly towards the car waiting on the shore.
His eyes were filled with heartache and concern as he held Su Yingxue carefully, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.
The third brother ran up to Tan Zhengchu, his face full of guilt and gratitude.
He bowed deeply and said, "Boss, we really owe you a lot this time."
If you hadn't been so calm, A-Qian and the rest of you might have been eaten by fish.
You saved my third brother's life. From now on, I'll do anything you ask, even be your slave.
Tan Zhengchu patted the third brother on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Alright, don't be so polite. But this incident has served as a reminder to us that we can't be so reckless in the future."
Especially you, don't hold activities in such dangerous places anymore, especially something as important as a marriage proposal. 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 wondering too, how could this cruise ship suddenly take on water?"
Perhaps I didn't check carefully enough. I'll contact the seller tomorrow and ask them carefully to find out the reason.
Tan Zhengchu frowned and said with a serious expression, "This matter is not so simple. Perhaps someone is deliberately sabotaging it."
We need to investigate this thoroughly; we can't just let it go like this.
Zhao Dakuang stood on the shore, watching Tan Zhengchu carry Su Yingxue into the car, which slowly drove away from the port.
His face was full of disappointment and resentment, and his eyes revealed deep jealousy and hatred.
He felt as if his heart was being torn apart, the pain was unbearable.
He summoned his second brother and said in an icy tone, "Send someone to investigate what Su Yingxue's seven children like. I need to know by whatever means necessary."
I'll start with them, get Su Yingxue's attention, and I refuse to believe I'm inferior to Tan Zhengchu.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, as if he were already plotting a conspiracy.
Zhao Er glanced at him, nodded, and turned to leave.
Zhao Da Kuang was left standing alone on the shore, watching the car disappear into the distance, his jealousy burning ever brighter.
As soon as Su Yingxue got home, she collapsed onto the bed as if all her strength had been drained.
The biting wind and icy seawater eventually made her sick, and she became very ill.
