Chapter 579: Chapter 591 Battling Sharks in the Sea
Chapter Five Hundred Ninety-One: Battling the Shark at Sea
Miss Su ngfei, Xiao Ling’er, and Zheng Yuling swam desperately forward, the sound of heavy objects plunging into the water behind them filling them with unspeakable terror. At that mont, they didn’t have the courage to look back; all they could do was swim with all their might, focusing solely on reaching the shore and getting away from the shark, with no room in their minds for any other thoughts.
Just as they neared the shore, they ca upon Su ngxin, half-floating on the water’s surface. Seeing Su ngxin, Miss Su ngfei, her cousin, was the first to recover her senses and hurriedly grabbed a hold of her cousin, her own body sinking, and her knees hitting the solid ground. Where they were, the water was only half a ter deep. When Su ngxin fainted, she had fallen face up in the water; her face floated on the surface—if not, she would have certainly suffocated.
The three of them quickly and clumsily dragged Su ngxin onto the beach, and only then did they subconsciously look back.
To their surprise, the sea was tumultuous, with the shark’s silhouette intermittently appearing in their line of sight, and along with it was Li Yifei, although far too distant for them to discern his exact situation. But one thought struck them all—that Li Yifei had already been caught by the shark.
"Brother-in-law!" Su ngfei cried out, tears suddenly flooding her eyes.
Xiao Ling’er did not make her usual commotion this ti; instead, she fell completely silent. She had co to understand why they had been thrown out of the boat by Li Yifei. It was because he had spotted the shark and thus had thrown them out to safety. By doing so, Li Yifei had naturally stayed behind, which was why the shark had caught up to him. Otherwise, given Li Yifei’s swimming speed, he could have easily swum away first, and then it would have been one, two, or all three of them who might have been eaten by the shark.
At that mont, Zheng Yuling was frantically shouting, "Help, there’s a shark in the water!"
Zheng Yuling’s shout, sharp and piercing, turned out to be incredibly effective. The bodyguards, who had stayed by the villa and not followed, heard her cry and imdiately ran towards the commotion.
Although they had guns, the distance was too great, and once they were in the water, it would be entirely impossible to shoot the shark, unless they could find a boat and hurry out. But there were no boats available, and for a mont, the bodyguards stood completely helpless.
What was most concerning was that from the won’s conversation, they already knew that Li Yifei had been caught by the shark for over ten minutes; there seed to be no chance of rescuing him.
By then, Su ngxin had been revived and upon opening her eyes, she frantically looked around, urgently asking, "Where’s Yifei? Where’s Yifei?"
Su ngfei suddenly embraced Su ngxin, her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Brother-in-law... brother-in-law has been eaten by the shark."
"No!" Su ngxin scread with all her might, nearly fainting again, before turning to the bodyguards and shouting, "What are you standing around for? Why aren’t you rescuing him?"
At this, the bodyguards looked at each other in dismay and, faced with Su ngxin’s rebuke, they all lowered their heads.
"Yifei!" Su ngxin cried out in despair, collapsing onto Su ngfei’s shoulder, overco with grief.
"Miss Su, sothing seems off," one of the bodyguards suddenly called out.
"What is it?" Su ngxin leaped up imdiately but felt dizzy and nearly fell again; Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling quickly steadied her.
"Miss Su, if the shark had caught its prey for this long, it should have eaten it by now and left. But the shark is still thrashing around in the water... it seems... it seems to be fighting Mr. Li," the bodyguard said, hardly believing his own words. A man could have a chance in a struggle with so fierce animals on land, which he believed, for with his skills, he could kill a vicious wolf, but facing a tiger or a lion, flight was the only option. However, a person’s fighting ability in the water decreased drastically; how could one wrestle with a shark, the overlord of the sea?
Su ngxin, stirred to excitent, imdiately shouted, "Hurry... help him!" After a pause, she added, "Anyone who goes down and brings Yifei back will be rewarded with one million per person."
As the saying goes, a heavy reward will summon brave n. Although the bodyguards also valued their lives, if Li Yifei could still be fighting the shark, there was likely a greater chance of rescuing him, and with so many of them and guns in their hands, perhaps a flurry of shots could scare the shark away, if not kill it outright.
Thus, all the bodyguards jumped into the sea and swam vigorously towards the churning waves.
Su ngxin watched anxiously, and Xiao Ling’er, along with the other two won, shared her tension. Xiao Ling’er ventured cautiously, "ngxin, Yifei can’t be that powerful, right?"
In that mont, Su ngxin was both comforting herself and psyching herself up, clenching her fist and declaring, "Yifei is just that strong, a shark surely is no match for him."
Su ngfei smirked and said, "That’s unbelievable, he’d be like a superhero."
As the three of them were talking, the sea suddenly cald down, which made Su ngxin’s heart leap into her throat, her body also swayed slightly. The calm sea ant that a fight had ended, and there were only two possible outcos, one where Li Yifei had won, which would naturally be good news. But if the shark had won, then it might have cost Li Yifei his life.
At this ti, the bodyguards had also stopped, the battle was over, and all they could do was wait for the outco. If Li Yifei had survived, that would still be fine. But if the shark had eaten Li Yifei, then even if they went over there it wouldn’t be of any use, they’d only be putting themselves in danger as well.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a burst of waves swelled on the sea surface, then a shark’s head popped out of the water.
The bodyguards imdiately let out a cry of alarm, instinctively backing away, and their guns fired at the shark’s head. anwhile, Su ngxin’s body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Don’t shoot! Are you trying to kill ?" However, a loud shout made Su ngxin straighten her body at once, and she cried out, "Yifei, Yifei, is that you?"
"It’s all right now, tonight I can treat you all to a shark feast," Li Yifei’s voice ca from the surface of the sea.
This ti Su ngxin truly heard Li Yifei’s voice, was thrilled, and imdiately rushed into the sea, with Su ngfei, Xiao Ling’er, and Zheng Yuling following suit, dashing into the water as well.
The bodyguards also quickly swam towards Li Yifei’s direction, and as they got close, they looked at Li Yifei as if he were so kind of monster. At this point, Li Yifei was floating on the surface, holding onto a shark’s pectoral fin and slowly swimming in their direction. The shark lay motionless, its head continuously bleeding, seemingly already killed by Li Yifei.
Li Yifei let go of his hold and said to the bodyguards, "Guys, you have to watch where you shoot. You almost blew my head off just now. This one’s for you to handle, we’ll have an added treat tonight."
The bodyguards hurriedly grabbed the shark, while Li Yifei swam towards Su ngxin and the others.
"Yifei!" Su ngxin was the fastest swimr at the ti, she was the first to et Li Yifei, she cried out joyfully, and imdiately wrapped her arms tightly around Li Yifei’s neck, holding on as if wanting to ld her body into his.
Li Yifei gently patted Su ngxin’s back and laughed, "It’s alright now, it’s alright."
Su ngxin’s head left Li Yifei’s shoulder, she looked at him, tears still in her eyes, and suddenly pushed her face towards Li Yifei’s face and kissed him on the mouth.
This took Li Yifei by surprise, and before he knew it, Su ngxin had kissed him, and he forgot to swim, and their bodies sank into the water together.
Su ngxin didn’t care about any of that, just kissing Li Yifei forcefully, as if with this kiss she wanted to release all the tension and worry she had felt.
Li Yifei had intended to resurface imdiately, but such a scene would simply entertain the onlookers, so he simply kissed Su ngxin underwater for a bit longer before patting her back, pushing her away, and erging from the water with her.
"Yifei, I’m so glad you’re alive," Su ngxin said, still holding onto Li Yifei, her gaze filled with the comfort of having survived a calamity.
Li Yifei, eting Su ngxin’s gaze, knew she had that kind of feeling for him one hundred percent. If they were just friends, she wouldn’t have reacted like this. It could also be said that if it weren’t for this brush with danger, Su ngxin wouldn’t have revealed her true feelings like this.
"ngxin, I’m really tired right now, can we go back and let
rest a bit?" Li Yifei still couldn’t accept Su ngxin’s feelings, so he changed the subject.
Su ngxin gasped, quickly released Li Yifei, and then pulled him towards the shore.
Everyone got onto the shore, and Li Yifei imdiately lay down on the beach, not wanting to move at all. The shark had been too big, its strength already formidable, and in the water, it was even more agile. Li Yifei was at a great disadvantage in the water, and it took all his strength to kill it.
Su ngxin imdiately sat beside Li Yifei and checked his body carefully. She found several wounds on his legs - though not severe, they were still bleeding. Her heart felt as if it were being cut, as if the wounds were on her own body.
"Yifei, you’re hurt, let’s go to the hospital," Su ngxin said softly, holding Li Yifei’s hand.
Li Yifei shook his head and replied, "It’s okay, they’re just superficial wounds, not a big deal. I just need to apply so dicine and disinfect later."
Su ngxin hesitated a mont then imdiately ordered a bodyguard to fetch the first aid kit.
