Chapter 555: Chapter 560: Half an Hour Has Passed, Should the Search and Rescue Be Stopped?
Heaven knows how much he regrets right now, how much he blames himself!
If only he had reacted faster, if only he had grabbed Xiangsi, if only he had noticed Ding Jia’s presence...
If only none of this had ever happened, how wonderful that would be?
However, what happened has happened, and no one can reverse it.
Xing Chen stared at the surface of the sea intently, wishing that in the next second, Ran Xiangsi would come back from the water, cough twice, and tell him she’s fine.
When Xiahou Chunyi turned around, he saw Xing Chen’s pale face, and his heart suddenly constricted.
He suddenly felt that if Ran Xiangsi couldn’t come back, his infatuated brother, would probably...
Before he could finish his thought, someone came to report.
"Mr. Xiahou, Ding Jia has been confirmed dead, and the explosives tied to her were indeed real."
Among the soldiers brought by the Lou Family, there were some who had dismantled explosives before. They inspected the explosives tied to Ding Jia and confirmed it was a common type circulating in the black market. This small pack could at most blow up a single layer of the top floor.
Fortunately, when jumping into the sea, the remote control was lost somewhere, so the explosives were not detonated.
Xiahou Chunyi waved his hand, and the person tactfully retreated.
Xing Chen slumped down in frustration at a spot surrounded by four black-clad bodyguards, unable to do anything.
He could only wait tirelessly.
Afterwards...
The search and rescue time dragged on longer and longer.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...
Not only the sailors on the yacht, but even the incoming coast guard, anyone with a diving license, all went into the sea to search.
Below the luxury yacht, there were a total of three submarines, each equipped with radar inspection systems and ultrasound, but none found Ran Xiangsi.
It’s as if she had evaporated in the middle of the ocean, leaving no trace.
Rescue participants came up to the yacht one after another, exhausted and worn out.
The leading sailor stepped forward to report helplessly.
"Mr. Xiahou, it has been half an hour already; even if we find her, it will only be a corpse. Our people are also too tired. Should we stop the search?"
"This..." Xiahou Chunyi was about to turn around and ask Xing Chen’s opinion. Before he could speak, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Xing Chen had already rushed toward the sailor!
He grabbed the sailor’s collar, his eyes emanating a chilling cold light, his tone fearfully ferocious, "You just said... corpse? She is not dead! She’s still alive!"
The sailor was startled, his face turning pale instantly, stuttering without knowing what to say, "Y-Young Master, I... it’s been half an hour already, this..."
"Get lost! Without my orders, no one is allowed to stop the search!" Xing Chen shoved the sailor away, as if saying another word to him was wasting his life!
In his heart, he knew he was just afraid of hearing disappointing words from the sailor.
The sailor was thrown far away, falling to the ground, not daring to breathe heavily.
Xiahou Chunyi waved his hand, signaling the sailor to retreat, "Go ahead, do not stop the search. Those who can’t dive shouldn’t go down; reinforcements will arrive immediately."
"Y-Yes, yes..." The sailor was so scared he almost wet himself, retreating clumsily.
Young Master’s eyes just now were really... terrifying!
