Chapter 845 - 845 831 Throw them all down (1)

Chapter 845: 831, Throw them all down (1) Chapter 845: 831, Throw them all down (1) Suddenly, the cruise ship was thrown into disarray.

“What happened?” Quan Mingxuan and his group made their way over, guided by the commotion, as the crowd quickly made way for them.

Quan Yifei followed the gazes of everyone around her and saw, under the sunlight, a woman floundering in the sea entering her field of vision, causing her to stare in shock.

“It’s Mingyan, second brother, Mingyan has fallen in,” she said, grabbing Quan Mingxuan’s arm in panic.

The expressions of Quan Mingxuan and his companions changed slightly. Before they could regain their composure, a blur flashed before their eyes, and the next second, a “splash” was heard as water sprayed upwards.

“Bai Jue!” Jian Luo’s eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Black Jack. Before he could speak, Black Jack nodded in understanding and turned to find a rope.

“Cough, cough… save me…”

Cramping in her legs and unable to exert any strength, Zhan Mingyan flailed her arms, sinking down as if she was weightless.

Her breathing became more and more erratic, and extreme panic surged within her. Her originally rosy cheeks gradually lost their color, turning pale.

As her strength ebbed away, the force of her struggling grew weaker. Her head gradually went under the surface of the water, her raised arms went limp, and her body sank into the sea.

Bai Jue, I can finally stop worrying about you.

Her eyelids heavily closed, and the corners of her mouth pulled into a bitter arc.

If she died, would he be sad?

Fortunately, the sea was calm that afternoon. Otherwise, if there were waves, Zhan Mingyan wouldn’t have had a chance to struggle; she would have been swept away long ago, not waiting for Bai Jue to come to her rescue.

“Zhan Mingyan!”

The man’s low roar reached her, exploding near her ear.

Zhan Mingyan struggled to open her eyes as her wrist was suddenly gripped by a strong hand. Before she could see who had grasped her, she was enveloped in a broad embrace.

That warm body temperature and familiar scent instantly calmed her frantic, fearful heart as if a small boat drifting on the sea had finally found a harbor to dock.

She lifted her head, trying to see the man’s face, but her eyelids uncontrollably shut, and just as she lost consciousness, she heard the man’s deep voice next to her ear.

“Zhan Mingyan, you fool, don’t sleep, stay awake…”

Bai Jue looked at her tightly closed eyes, his handsome face darkened, and rare panic and anxiety showed in the depths of his eyes.

He held her with one arm, pulling her closer to the side of the cruise ship.

“Whoosh—”

The calm sea surface was again disturbed by ripples as Bai Jue emerged from the water. Quan Yifei and the others showed joy on their faces, and Quan Mingxuan and Han Yue jumped into the water together.

“Bai Jue, grab the rope.” Jian Luo, holding the rope, threw it in Bai Jue’s direction and shouted out.

Bai Jue stretched out his robust arm, grabbed the rope, and Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan swam up to him. Seeing Zhan Mingyan who was barely clinging to life in his arms, both men furrowed their brows lightly.

“Get her up first.” Bai Jue pulled the rope around Zhan Mingyan, and Quan Mingxuan and the other man helped support the unconscious Zhan Mingyan.

“Jian Luo, pull her up,” Bai Jue hoarsely called out.

Jian Luo and Black Jack exchanged a glance and jointly pulled on the rope. Quan Yifei, watching Zhan Mingyan being pulled up, suddenly thought of something and hurriedly ran back into the cruise ship.

The bystanders looked on as if they were frightened into immobility, angering Jian Luo, who usually had a mild temper.

“What are you all doing just standing around? Disperse, all of you,” he snapped.

The warm voice suddenly turned cold, meeting his stern brows, causing the others to quickly scatter aside, no longer blocking the way.

It seemed the rumors were right; when Bai Jue got angry in March, he could indeed be frightening.

Black Jack was pulling on the rope, Jian Luo bent down to grab Zhan Mingyan’s hand, pulling her up and placing her on the ground before untying the rope from around her.

“Mingyan,” Quan Yifei, holding a large towel, ran over and quickly wrapped it around Zhan Mingyan, “Mingyan, are you okay? Come on, wake up.”

“Move aside, I’ll take care of this.” Bai Jue, completely drenched, rushed over and knelt beside Zhan Mingyan to administer first aid.

“Zhan Mingyan, if you dare to get into trouble, I’ll throw you in to feed the sharks.” He straightened her face, took a breath, then bent down to kiss her lips, performing artificial respiration.

Li Sisi, watching how Bai Jue cared for Zhan Mingyan, bit her lip hard, clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could rush over and pull Bai Jue away.

At that moment, she wished Zhan Mingyan would just die, so she wouldn’t have to compete with her for a man.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Zhan Mingyan spit out a few mouthfuls of water and came to her senses.

“She’s awake, she’s awake, Mingyan is all right,” Quan Yifei exclaimed excitedly.

The tension in Jian Luo and his group eased, and they showed relieved smiles.

Seeing her eyes open, Bai Jue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reached to help her up, “Zhan Mingyan, is there anywhere else that you feel uncomfortable?”

Zhan Mingyan felt weak all over, she raised her eyes to the person before her, and a sudden surge of fright rushed over her.

She crashed into his embrace, clutching his shirt tightly with both hands, eyes red, “Bai Jue!”

Her hoarse voice, tinged with sobs, caused Bai Jue’s heart to clench.

He lifted his hand to touch her wet hair and softened his tone, “It’s okay now, it’s okay, I’m here.”

Quan Mingxuan and the others watched the two of them, their faces showing knowing smiles.

When had these two gotten together? They really kept it well hidden.

Bai Jue picked up a large towel, draped it over her, wrapped her in it, squeezed her shoulders, and scolded, “How could you be so careless? Even just standing here, you fell into the sea, can’t you swim? Can’t you save yourself? Do you know how dangerous that was just now?”

Scolded by him, the tears Zhan Mingyan had been holding back couldn’t help but flow out as she said with grievance, “It’s not like I fell in on purpose. If someone hadn’t bumped into me, why would I have fallen in? Do you think I wanted to die? My leg cramped, and I couldn’t swim up. Now you are scolding me, I hate you so much, go away.”

Brushing off his hand, she staggered to her feet.

Looking at her slightly red eyes, Bai Jue immediately regretted scolding her just now, reached out to stop her from leaving, and his voice became gentler, “Who bumped into you, huh?”

He indeed wanted to see who dared to bump her into the water. On such a big cruise ship, and with railings over here for protection, it was nearly impossible for someone to be carelessly knocked in; it would require quite the coincidence and a lot of force, clearly, it was intentional.

Zhan Mingyan turned her head away, not wanting to deal with him.

Bai Jue held her hand tightly, not letting her go, his cold eyes sweeping over the people around him, his gaze sharp, “Who bumped her into the water?”

The chilly voice was like the calm before a storm.

Meeting his gaze, everyone quickly shook their heads and stepped back.

“No, no, it wasn’t us.”

Hiding in the crowd, Li Sisi stealthily retreated, looking a bit unnatural.

Seeing no one confessed, Bai Jue wasn’t in a hurry but said fiercely, “If no one admits it, then I guess I’ll have to throw you all in instead.”
