Li Feng let out an unbridled laugh. “You guys are trash! Do you think you can do it?”
The pirates had a splitting headache. They wished they could rush up and crush Li Feng’s body. However, he had a hostage and Jack stopped them.
He looked at Li Feng. “Let go of Xiao Ling. If you’re a man, then fight with me!”
Li Feng smiled even more arrogantly. “Jack, do you think I’m dumb? Do you think you can save this woman like this? Don’t fret. After I’m done with her, I will get payback from you.”
Li Lei quietly walked forward. “Brother, let go of Xiao Ling. I’ll agree to any condition you state.”
Li Feng looked at him and smiled. “How touching, Xiao Lei. What if I want to be the head of the household?”
“I’ll give the title to you.” Li Lei replied without hesitation.
Li Feng smiled again. “What if I want your life?”
“I will also give it to you.” Li Lei said without hesitation.
However, Xia Ling started screaming. “No! Li Lei, I won’t allow you to exchange your life for mine!” She was very emotional. Due to her negligence, the blade deepened the cut on her neck and fresh blood streamed out.
“Xiao Ling, calm down and don’t speak!” Li Lei looked at her worriedly.
However, Xia Ling said, “You aren’t allowed to die!” The bleeding was worsening.
Anxiously, Li Lei replied, “Ok, I won’t die.”
“You won’t die? Then let her die!” Li Feng laughed gleefully. “Your love for each other is really deep, and I almost can’t bear to do this. How about I help you out?”
As he spoke, before anyone else could react, he pushed Xia Ling off the deck.
“Xiao Ling!”
“Mom!”
Li Lei and Shaohui yelled.
At the same time, there was a gunshot. There was a patch of red blood on Li Feng’s chest and his body fell to ground weakly.
Xia Ling only felt that the weight behind her body was gone in a flash. However, most of her body was already off the deck. Even if Li Feng fell down with her, it could not change the fact that she was about to fall into the ocean. It was a critical moment. She looked at the ferocious sharks and turned her body away from them instinctively.
The pirate ship was very tall. Although it looked like it only had a short distance from the sharks at first, when she really fell into the ocean, there were only a few meters between her and the sharks.
They were just a few meters, but they saved her life!
Xia Ling was not immediately eaten by the sharks. She sank deep into the ocean. Only then did the sharks react and sawm over.
The ocean was very quiet.
Xia Ling’s eyes widened in fear and she looked up. Above her, golden sunlight streamed through the layers of the blood-stained blue ocean. It was beautiful, but it was quickly covered by a large number of approaching sharks. From her angle, she could only see their white bodies and sharp teeth.
Just one bite was enough to tear her body into pieces.
Would she die here?
Xia Ling struggled to no avail, remembering that she could not swim. Many years ago when she had a shoot near the water, Pei Ziheng coldly abandoned her in the water. She once thought of learning how to swim before. However, whenever she entered the water, she would feel uncontrollably scared. Thus, until now, she was still unable to swim.
Even if the sharks weren’t there, she would still drown.
Xia Ling laughed at herself. Her body sank deeper and the sharks were getting closer. In her hopelessness, she wondered if she would die by drowning or being eaten alive by the sharks.
Her neck hurt and she could not breathe anymore.
In front of her eyes, scenes from her life flashed past. Her rebirth, meeting Li Lei, having a child, getting married… They had been through so many ups and downs together.
It was a pity that she could not accompany him and Shaohui for their remaining lives…
Above her, the sharks seemed to scatter. The sunlight penetrated into the ocean. In the ocean, the shadows of an adult and a child appeared. They moved swiftly in the water and were about to reach her.
Li Lei… Shaohui?
Why were they here? Weren’t they safely on the deck? Did they know how dangerous the ocean was?! There were so many sharks! However… it must be her imagination… It must be her imagination…
How could they bypass the sharks?
The sharks swam around the two of them. One of them opened its mouth to bite Li Lei, but at this time, Shaohui placed his hand on Li Lei. The child was still young and perhaps had insufficient strength or was not used to the pressure of the ocean. Suddenly, he could not swim any longer and struggled helplessly in the water.
Li Lei held him steadily with one hand. With such a powerful grip it allowed the child to calm down.
The shark that tried to bite Li Lei retreated. It seemed to have some misgivings about the father and son pair and continued circling them with the other sharks. After a few more seconds, the entire group of sharks dispersed.
Xia Ling was in disbelief.
Imagination. It must be her imagination. Why didn’t the sharks bite anyone?
In a flash, she remembered what happened in the snow-capped mountains. When the ferocious serpent faced Shaohui, it showed cautiousness.
[Animals all like me.]
What the child said rang in her ear.
Could it be that the sharks let go of the family of three on Shaohui’s behalf?
Her mind was in a mess. In front of her, Li Lei and her child were getting closer and closer…
There was a lot of water in her lungs, and her brain was seriously deprived of oxygen. Xia Ling did not know if the figures of Li Lei and her son were real or an illusion caused by her strong desire to survive. She only reached out instinctively and held Li Lei’s strong and powerful hand that was extended to her.
The two hands intertwined.
A very secure feeling arose from the bottom of her heart.
Li Lei changed his position and carefully lifted her with one hand. As he had to swim, he let go of Shaohui. The child seemed to have recovered. He continued to struggle in the water but was more stable now.
Using the last of her strength, she firmly grabbed her child. Under Li Lei’s lead, the family of three swam towards the surface.
“They’re out! They’re out!” On the pirate ship and the deck of the wedding cruise ship, people gathered anxiously for their news. Once they saw them coming out of the ocean, deafening cheers erupted everywhere.
“My god, this is really a miracle!”
“The sharks didn’t eat them. Unbelievable!”
