Chapter 424: Untitled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
By the time the few of them came up from basement, the deck was filled with people. Li Cheng got the captain to broadcast the news, causing a large-scale panic. Many people had gotten into fights over the life vests.
The well-trained crew could do nothing to calm them. Some of the people were hysterically calling for help, some were crying, and others were praying. Most of the people on the ship came from wealthy families and were more afraid of death than the common folks!
“Get out of the way!” Chu Yichen carried Li An’an to the ship’s infirmary and instructed for the doctor, who had escaped to the deck, to be brought back.
The doctor suppressed his own panic out of professional ethics and hurriedly examined Li An’an. “CEO Chu, the patient has choked on too much water. We have to send her to the hospital immediately!”
The first aid facilities on the ship were simple and crude. They could attend to external injuries, treat colds, perform simple first aid, and so on. For someone who had almost drowned, they needed to send her to the hospital immediately.
Having said that, he touched the patient’s head. His glove was immediately stained with blood. “The patient has got head injuries in addition!”
He carefully cut off the hair around the Li An’an’s wound and saw that the spot where she was bleeding seemed to be an injury from impact. The soft tissue bulged, but from the outside, it was impossible to tell if there was bleeding inside the brain.
Chu Yichen looked down and only then did he notice that Li An’an’s head was bleeding. There wasn’t a lot of blood, but it was enough to shake him up. He was sure that she didn’t hit her head when he pulled her into his embrace, so she must have been injured before they broke down the door.
Chu Yichen’s arms tightened around her as he tried to think of a solution. However, he realized that it was impossible to send her to the hospital right now.
At this point, Li An’an, who was in his arms, woke up. She must have heard the doctor’s words.
“It’s okay, I caused the injury myself!” She smiled weakly. Because she was gagged and her hands were tied behind her back, she could only use her head to hit out in desperation. She did not feel any pain before, but now that her wound was soaked in seawater, she was in agony!
However, it did not matter. As long as she survived, this pain was nothing!
Chu Yichen’s expression was cold but his heart ached. She was always getting away with it!
“But Chu Yichen, I feel dizzy. It’s not good. I might have hit my head too many times!”
Li An’an spoke weakly and realized that her head was spinning. She grabbed Chu Yichen’s collar tightly and fainted.
Chu Yichen wanted to put her down and let the doctor take care of her while he went to the deck to control the chaos and look for help, but she was clinging tightly to his shirt.
At this point, Fu Yiheng dashed in with a nervous expression. When he saw that Li An’an had been rescued, he was greatly relieved. Seeing that Chu Yichen was about to leave, he did not bother to find out why things had turned out this way. “Give her to me!”
Chu Yichen didn’t want to, but this man was the most reliable person around now. He had no choice but to hand the woman over to Fu Yiheng for the time being. Whatever unsettled scores they had between them could be discussed later!
He proceeded to hand her over. Fu Yiheng bent over, but Li An’an clung tightly to Chu Yichen’s shirt and refused to let go. She burrowed into his arms, as if she could only find a sense of security in this way. She must have been scared out of her wits. After she fainted, the fear within her manifested. Now, she was instinctively seeking safety.
Fu Yiheng’s expression darkened and became unreadable. He was upset, uncomfortable, indignant, regretful, and all sorts of emotions intertwined.
Even Chu Yichen felt bad for him.
“Heh, I’m sorry. She, haha, she doesn’t seem to want to let me go!” Chu Yichen felt that he should be more serious, but he could not help it. After all, he had been aggrieved for so long, and now he had finally found some self-confidence!
When Li Cheng came in and saw the CEO laughing heartily, he was instantly speechless.. The ship was about to sink, and they were on the verge of losing hundreds of millions, but the CEO was laughing heartily!
