Chapter 639: Chapter 663 Evacuation
"Ladies and gentlen, please do not crowd. Let the elderly, won, and children board the boat first; n should board later!" The crew on the boat were very professional, trying their best to maintain order, but it was clearly having little effect.
Such chaos only served to slow the evacuation process, and it was not without danger. In just a short ti, several people had already fallen into the sea.
Li Yifei furrowed his brow. If the situation wasn’t brought under control soon, there could be serious casualties. He gave Zheng Mingrui a look, and Zheng imdiately picked up the Micro Assault Rifle he was carrying and fired several shots into the sky.
No matter how much the crew shouted, it wasn’t as effective as the sound of gunfire. People all around let out cries of alarm, and everyone was too scared to move.
Zheng Mingrui snatched a microphone from one of the crew mbers and bellowed, "Everyone follow the orders. If anyone dares to cause more chaos, I will blast them with a bullet."
Zheng’s stern approach seed to work; the crowd around him settled down. Under the crew’s coordination, the elderly, won, and children were the first being arranged to board the boat.
"Let’s let our leaders board the boat first." At that mont, so provincial leader was trying to push through with the help of two escorts.
Bang! A gunshot rang out, and the person who had spoken took a misstep and fell to the ground, imdiately clutching his thigh and crying out in pain.
"Fuck your grandma, what’s so great about leaders? Leaders should be the last ones right now, ensuring everyone’s safety during the evacuation. Otherwise, what’s the use of you being leaders?" Zheng Mingrui roared fiercely.
This statent resonated with everyone. Even though the people there were wealthy, as businessn, they were often suppressed by the governnt. They frequently disapproved of these officials. It was bad enough that the officials asserted privileges on a regular basis, but now they were trying to use their status to be the first to escape by boat, which truly infuriated everyone.
Moreover, Zheng really dared to shoot. The deterrent effect was very significant. Now, even if so n wanted to seek special treatnt, they obediently didn’t dare to make a move.
"You, go and maintain order. If anyone disobeys at this ti, just shoot them directly," Zheng bellowed at a few security guards who were exchanging glances.
One of the guards hesitated, "But... if we injure the guests..."
Zheng cursed, "Screw the guests. If we don’t maintain order imdiately, how many more people will die? Right, isn’t there so leader from the province here? Ask him if there’s any problem with maintaining order like this?"
anwhile, Li Yifei leaned in and whispered in his ear, "This is your chance. If you want to get promoted, act now."
The leader was fat with a large ear, and his face had turned the color of iron at this point. He was already irate for being stopped, and now that Zheng was calling him out, he felt even more on the spot.
After gritting his teeth, the leader finally nodded and said, "Let’s prioritize maintaining order. If anyone doesn’t behave, it will affect more people’s chance to escape." He was going all in. Since he couldn’t escape early, he wouldn’t let others take advantage of the situation. If the evacuation was successful, he would still be the hero who handled the crisis.
As for the possibility of killing a few who disobeyed orders, compared to saving several thousand people, that wouldn’t be a problem. He could even pull so strings and label those who didn’t follow the rules as terrorists.
"I am Vice Governor Liu Yusheng from the provincial governnt. The most important thing for the crew on board now is to maintain order. If anyone dares to cause trouble, you may use so unconventional ans. I will take responsibility for any issues that arise," the man declared, finally saying sothing that satisfied Li Yifei.
With the Vice Governor’s declaration, the ship’s crew imdiately felt more confident and dispersed to maintain order. Gunshots continued sporadically, clearly using the threat of firearms to enforce discipline now.
The evacuation speed was now extrely fast. In no ti at all, most of the won and children had been evacuated from the ship. Li Yifei then turned to the won with him and said, "Alright, now it’s your turn to board."
Xu Yingying showed the presence of a leader, saying, "Yiyi, Xiaoyao, take Little Yifei and board the ship quickly. ngxin, Michelle, Sister Fangqing, Xiaoyao, Shanshan, you board as well."
Su ngxin imdiately said, "What about you?"
Xu Yingying turned her head to look at Li Yifei and said, "I’ll stay here with Yifei, we’ll leave together."
Li Yifei frowned and said, "No, you get on the boat."
"No! We are husband and wife, and as such, we should live and die together. I must stay here with you," Xu Yingying adamantly refused.
Zheng Mingrui then said with envy, "Boss, your wife is really great."
At that mont, Lin Wanqing snorted and said, "Don’t sound so sour, I’ll also stay to accompany you."
Zheng Mingrui was ecstatic at this. Lin Wanqing’s words were undoubtedly a true acknowledgnt of their relationship, but after the joy, he imdiately shook his head and said, "No, no, you must get on the boat right now."
"Humph, if Sister-in-law can do it, why can’t I? You’re underestimating
too much." Lin Wanqing, not convinced, grabbed Zheng Mingrui’s hand.
Zheng Mingrui then felt so happy he was almost dizzy, holding Lin Wanqing’s hand tightly, at that mont he was at a loss for words.
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "No, all of you won must go. Mingrui and I, even if we encounter problems, can still find another way to leave. ngxin, you should be very clear about this."
Su ngxin nodded and said, "That’s right, Yingying, Wanqing, let’s go. This isn’t the ti for rash decisions. If we stay here, we’ll only cause them more trouble."
This statent was very effective, and Xu Yingying and Lin Wanqing finally got on the boat sowhat reluctantly.
However, now each boat had quite a few people on it, and they couldn’t sit together. They were scattered across several small boats.
"Husband, be careful!" Xu Yingying’s eyes were filled with tears.
"Brother-in-law! I’ll wait for you to co ho for dinner tonight," shouted Xu Shanshan loudly.
Chu Xiaoyao, with tears in her eyes, called out, "Uncle, if you don’t co back, I’ll co to accompany you tomorrow."
Su Yiyi’s eyes were red, and her lips quivered twice as she said softly, "Brother Li, you must co back."
He Fangqing gazed at Li Yifei, just giving him a smile. She wanted to say sothing but ended up saying nothing. Michelle bit her teeth and said, "Brother Li, I believe that you will definitely make it."
ng Xiaofei, still very light-hearted, said with a giggly smile, "Brother Li, if you’re gone, all these beauties will just marry soone else, and imagine how many green hats you’d have to wear then."
Su ngxin was smiling as she looked at Li Yifei. She had absolute confidence in him. Even if Li Yifei couldn’t get on the boat, he would surely find a way to escape, and nothing would happen to him.
Little Yifei looked around at everyone, seeing so many beautiful aunts talking to her father, she felt that she should say sothing too. Yet she didn’t comprehend the danger of the situation, and after tilting her head and thinking for a while, just as the boats began to descend, she said in her baby voice, "Daddy, catch
a shark to play with."
The people around them all stared with wide eyes at this unique little girl, while Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Okay, daddy will catch you a shark to play with when I return."
