Chapter 410 - 410: Yu Xiheng: I’m Here (3)

Safe at last.

But with the pressure gone, a greater fatigue set in.

“Boss, I’m feeling sleepy,” Si Fuqing’s voice grew fainter. “I want to rest for a bit.”

Having said that, her body relaxed completely, her strength drained, and she started to collapse towards the ground.

The strong, slender arms still encircled her waist, and then he scooped her up in his arms.

Yu Xiheng held the girl in his arms securely and looked up, his eyes dark as pitch.

Above, several rescue helicopters deployed by the MO family buzzed in the sky.

Elsewhere, the Feng family’s sea rescue team was in action.

Today was indeed a grand gathering.

Three great families and four major alliances had come together. For the first time in fifteen hundred years since Emperor Yin’s death, these seven powers had met again.

Though they were yet unaware of each other’s reasons for being there.

On the rescue helicopter, Yu Xiheng’s voice came through the headset, eerily calm, “Everyone else, stop the search and head east. Come here.”

Feng San’s nerves tensed, and he immediately acknowledged, instructing Shen Ying to turn the helicopter around.

Xi Jiang stood up abruptly, “What’s going on? What did Brother Nine say?”

“Brother Nine has found Miss Si,” Feng Sanshen breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good he found her. If it had been the one causing the sea tornado, Miss Si would have been in trouble.”

“That’s a relief,” Xi Jiang also relaxed. “Once Brother Nine’s legs were healed, nothing could stop him.”

Yu Xiheng’s recovery was a secret known only to a few trusted brothers within the MO family.

The rest of the MO family was still unaware.

Shen Ying focused on piloting the helicopter, joining the conversation, “You all talk so highly of her, I’m quite curious to meet her.”

Feng San nodded, “But we’ll have to wait until Miss Si recovers. She’s exhausted from this ordeal.”

Without asking, he knew that although the crew’s ship was safe in the center, it must have been Si Fuqing who intervened.

“She’s not that remarkable,” Xi Jiang suddenly said. “If she were, why would Brother Nine let us build that gun? If she could, why not fight, which clearly shows she’s not skilled in combat.”

Shen Ying pondered, “I see…”

Feng San’s eyelid twitched, pulling Xi Jiang aside and whispering, “What are you up to, spouting nonsense like that?”

IfSi Fuqings combat skills were lacking, would the elites of the Thousand ArmyAlliance willingly serve as her bodyguard? The kind you can’t even drive away.

“I’m just a bit bitter about losing a year’s salary,” Xi Jiang shrugged nonchalantly. “You’re holding onto her thigh (1), but I’m not. I want him to keep me company.”

Feng Sanshen was speechless, eventually managing only a “Wow.”

They soon reached Yu Xiheng and Si Fuqing’s location.

Xi Jiang hurried forward, “Brother Nine, let me help.”

Yu Xiheng didn’t let go, bypassing Xi Jiang with Si Fuqing in his arms, and boarded the helicopter.

Xi Jiang: ‘

He was puzzled, so he had to follow.

Feng Sanshen glanced at him with contempt, “No wonder you can’t hold onto her thigh.”

Just that?

Can’t he see what’s happening?

Aspiring to be hold onto Miss Si’s thigh, does he even stand a chance?

Xi Jiang grew even more confused, “What does that have to do with me not holding onto her thigh? I just wanted to ease Brother Nine’s burden.” Was there something wrong with what he did?

Feng San, too exasperated to take with him, went to pilot the helicopter.

The helicopter had a bed, where Yu Xiheng gently laid Si Fuqing.

He took a towel in one hand to wipe her body and lifted her wet hair from her forehead with the other, checking her temperature.

She was slightly feverish.

Shen Ying, having some medical knowledge, checked her pulse, “Miss Si seems to be in shock. Her physical condition isn’t bad, though. There are emergency medicines on the helicopter. Brother Nine, I’ll bring them for you to give Miss Si, and then we’ll head straight to the Miracle Doctor Alliance.”

Yu Xiheng acknowledged with a nod, covering Si Fuqing with a blanket, his tone emotionless, “Investigate.”

The three men’s expressions turned grave, kneeling on one knee, “Yes.”

The news of Si Fuqing’s rescue was still unknown to others.

The three aristocratic families and four major alliances gathered by the sea. The injured were taken to the town’s hospital, with doctors and nurses bustling in and out.

This sea tornado affected over a hundred people, but miraculously, there were no critical injuries.

Many fishermen woke up speaking urgently in their local dialect, asking about Si Fuqing.

They didn’t recognize Si Fuqing and had no interest in TV dramas, knowing only that she was a beautiful superstar.

Upon receiving the news, Gu Huiyan couldn’t help but step back.

He was somewhat incredulous, but mostly heartbroken, “…In such a massive sea tornado, she thought of saving others? She…”

Preserving oneselfisn’t selfish.

It’s just that faced with the grim reality ofdeath, manypeople make such choices.

Si Fuqing herself was very young, not yet twenty.

Why was she already thinking ofsacrificing herself?

Had she not turned back to save those fishennen and crew members, with her survival skills, she would have certainly reached the shore first.

She didn’t have to bother with the others.

Gu Huiyan’s heart ached more the more he thought about it.

He took a deep breath, “Haven’t found her yet? What about the first rescue team? Call them over. I want to know what happened.”

The Southern State rescue team arrived quickly.

They hadn’t expected the Heaven Earth Alliance to be involved too.

Upon being questioned by Gu Huiyan, the rescue team leader spoke without hesitation, “DirectorGu, there’s something I must say.”

He was certain that someone on the ship had tampered with Si Fuqing’s safety belt.

But everyone aboard that ship had significant backgrounds.

Yet here was Gu Huiyan, who could outmatch them all.

The rescue team leader, unfamiliar with JIANG Shuihan and unaware of the Thousand Army Alliance’s presence, spoke up.

Gu Huiyan’s expression grew stern, ‘Go ahead.”

“I believe Miss Si’s safety belt was cut with a sharp tool,” said the rescue team leader. “There was a toolbox on the ship with various tools; scissors could do the job.”

“If the belt hadn’t be cut, we could have used it to determine Miss Si’s location.

So, this is a deliberate act of murder.”

The atmosphere in the hall instantly grew heavy with these words.

JIANG Shuihan’s smile faded, his eyes changing.

Nearby, a middle-aged man’s first thought was about Xie Yanqiu not being there.

Had Xie Yanqiu been present, with her explosive temper, this hall might have been destroyed.

“Check the ship for any cameras still running,” Gu Huiyan laughed, though it was out of anger. “Ask everyone on board if they saw anything. I want this matter thoroughly investigated!”

“Whoever did this, even if it’s the emperor himself, they must be apprehended!”

He was eager to find out who dared to harm his yet-to-be-acquired student.

Holding onto people’s thigh, a term similar to getting an ally so powerful that you don’t have to do anything, getting carried..
