Li An’an entered the elevator and went to the first deck. Ha, did he think that he would be able to coax and appease her with a bunch of lollipops? Dream on. He had underestimated her. Whatever it was, he wouldn’t be getting away easily where Liang Qian’s matter was concerned!
Sob… Sob….
As she went around a corner, Li An’an’s mouth was covered by a piece of white cloth. An unpleasant and pungent smell filled her nostrils. She struggled, but gradually lost her strength and fell to the ground. Before she passed out, she saw the blurry image of a man walking towards her. Who was it? Who was attacking her?
Cold.
Li An’an was woken up by the cold. In the background all around her was the sound of a rumbling machine and lapping water. When she saw debris floating around her, she realized that she was half-submerged in the water. Her hands were bound and her mouth was gagged.
She looked around. The air was murky and the water level was rising. Something had smashed a huge hole in the ship. Seawater kept pouring in and quickly filled the space. In a short period of time, the water level was already at her waist. She hurriedly stood up! The water was at her knees.
Sob… Sob….
She shouted frantically, but she couldn’t make a sound. Who did this?! Was it the Li family? Did they want to ensure her death? But she mustn’t die. She struggled to move forward in the water and found the door, but it was sealed shut!
The person who had locked her up had no intention of letting her out alive. Or rather, he was out to kill everyone on board. He was sinking the ship.
“No one in the Chu family deserves love!”
In a daze, she heard a hoarse voice outside the door. It was cold and cruel.
Li An’an wanted to speak, but she couldn’t make a sound. The water level was rising, and she was terrified. It was getting colder and colder, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn’t want to die. She still had three adorable children. She wanted to see them through school, grow up, fall in love, and have children. She didn’t want to leave them!
But who could save her?
In the corridor, Li Cheng had waited for nearly half an hour, but Li An’an had not returned. Yang Xia, on the other hand, turned up. She was anxious because the people in the surveillance room said that someone had already checked the surveillance footage yesterday. She suspected that it was Liang Qian’s men, so she had wanted to discuss it with Li An’an. If the video were to be exposed, it would be easier to deal with.
“We went separate ways an hour ago. Isn’t she back yet? She said she’d come back to bed after dinner.
Li Cheng’s expression turned icy. Could she have gone to Fu Yiheng’s room?
As this thought occurred to him, Chu Yichen turned up.
“What’s going on?”
“CEO, I’ve been waiting for an hour, but I haven’t seen Li An’an! Yang Xia said that she had come back to her room some time back.”
Chu Yichen turned around. He knew that Fu Yiheng was in that room. Could she have gone to look for him again? He looked down at his pristinely pressed clothes and then walked forward.
He hadn’t taken more than a few steps before he saw Fu Yiheng. Although the two of them didn’t speak to each other, sparks flew!
“I can’t get through to An’an’s phone.”
From the looks of it, Fu Yiheng knew that Li An’an was not in the room.
Chu Yichen immediately walked towards the surveillance room. His eyebrows twitched and he felt inexplicably uneasy, which made him even more flustered. He quickened his pace. When he arrived at the surveillance room, he did not have the patience to wait for the security officer, hence he took it upon himself to check the surveillance footage of the second deck corridor taken in the past hour.
In the video, he saw the scene of Li An’an walking away from Li Cheng who was holding a bouquet of lollipops.
Fu Yiheng also focused on the bouquet of lollipops momentarily, with an ambiguous expression.
After that, Li An’an went to the first deck. The moment she turned the corner, the image turned into white noise. By the time it recovered, Li An’an had disappeared without a trace.
Chu Yichen got up from his seat. “The first floor is key. Search every single room!”
Li Cheng hurriedly tossed the bouquet aside and summoned his men to search for Li An’an. The surveillance footage had been deliberately destroyed.. From the looks of it, something must have happened to Li An’an! He wondered who was targeting her!
