Chapter 193: Doomed
Huo Chuan was dealing with the people who came up to discuss business with him. In fact, he had already spotted Yun Qing, and he really wanted to approach her.
However, this business meeting was very important, so Huo Chuan had to put his work first.
Yun Qing did not pay much attention to Huo Chuan. She walked to the other side and decided to eat something to fill her stomach.
However, at that moment, the cruise ship suddenly shook and tilted to the side as if it was going to sink.
Everyone screamed and panicked, trying to escape. However, inertia and gravity caused many people to fall to the ground and hit the tilted wall.
Many people on the deck had already fallen into the sea. In the cabin, Yun Qing could vaguely hear the splashes of objects falling into the water.
Yun Qing hugged the pillar on one side tightly so that she did not fall down due to inertia. However, the ship was tilting more and more. If rescue measures were not taken in time, almost all the people on the ship would fall into the sea.
“Ah —”
The ship was tilting to a certain extent, but Yun Qing still could not hold on. Her hand slipped, and she fell down.
At that moment, she saw Huo Chuan throwing himself at her with all his strength and holding her in his arms.
To be precise, Huo Chuan had been trying to get close to her since the moment the accident happened.
“Don’t be afraid, someone will come to save us,” Huo Chuan said to Yun Qing in a low voice.
Yun Qing very much rejected Huo Chuan’s approach, but at that moment, the fear in her heart had already surpassed her disgust for Huo Chuan.
It had not been easy for her to join the Chamber of Commerce, but this massive ship chose this day to suffer a mishap?
The story of the Titanic flashed through Yun Qing’s mind — she did not want to die because of this.
She still had her father, three brothers, and her sisters... she had to live.
The cruise ship was full of rich people. Some had already fallen into the sea and were no longer alive. Those who were still alive screamed and shouted, wanting to be the first to leave.
However, the ship was sinking too fast. Before many people could board the lifeboats, the sea had already claimed them.
Huo Chuan and Yun Qing were among those unfortunate ones.
After falling into the sea, Yun Qing choked on a mouthful of water.
In fact, she could swim, but was unable to.
She tried to splash in the water, but the sea seemed to possess some kind of magic, as if it wanted to suck her in.
“Yun Qing! Yun Qing!”
She vaguely heard someone calling her.
Was It Huo Chuan?
When they fell from the boat, they were forced to separate.
At the moment of life and death, all the previous hatred had been put to the back of her mind. Huo Chuan was the only person she was familiar with at the moment. With him, Yun Qing could still feel a little safe.
However, she tried to respond, but the sea did not give her a chance.
In the Yun Group, Yun Zhe came out of the meeting room and looked at his watch.
At this time, Yun Qing should already be playing on the cruise ship.
He could not help but smile. This sister of his loved to have fun.
However, she could join in the fun as long as she was happy.
At that moment, his assistant ran toward him with a pale face.
“Yun, Yun... something happened...”
“What happened?” Yun Zhe frowned and looked at his assistant.
“The cruise ship that Miss Yun was on... sank just now. Countless people died... Miss Yun is...”
Yun Zhe was shocked — a sinking ship?! How?!
“What happened to her?!” Yun Zhe gripped his assistant’s shoulder and asked anxiously. A storm was brewing in his deep eyes.
“She’s missing. The rescue team said... It’s bad, bad luck...”
Hearing this, Yun Zhe’s brain buzzed, and he almost fell to the ground.
How could it be?
The day before, Yun Qing was still alive and kicking in front of him, and she even went back to the Yun family’s old house to see her father.
How could this happen on this day?
“Go and find her! We have to find her! If she’s alive, we’ll see her... if she’s dead, we’ll see her corpse.” Yun Zhe gritted his teeth and endured the heartache as he said the last four words.
The news of the sinking ship quickly spread through the streets and alleys. Almost all the people sitting on the ship were rich and elite. When the ship sank, many companies were severely crippled.
