Chapter 1639: 1639
He consoled her, “The truth is, you’re right, Qin Chu really might still be alive . After all, he’s a smart guy, maybe he predicted that Huo Siqian would do something like this, and as a precaution, decided not to get on the plane . ”
“Rick said… he brought Qin Chu here himself and watched him get onto the plane…” Huo Mian said, her voice soft and barely audible .
“Then maybe he got off the plane after Rick left, you never know . ”
Huo Mian: “…”
After searching for an entire day, the team leader walked up to the deck towards sundown, his entire body soaked with water . He said, “Mr . Su, let’s call it a day, it’s getting dark . The waves are really strong at night, and there are undercurrents . We won’t be able to do anything anyways . ”
“Okay…” Su Yu nodded, and the team leader continued, “Mr . Su, allow me to say something that you might not like to hear . ”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu didn’t respond; Huo Mian, on the other hand, tilted her head and looked at the team leader .
“The waters here are deep and dangerous, and there’s a constant undercurrent . Even an elephant would disappear as soon as it falls into these waters, let alone a tiny human being . This is the living version of a needle in a haystack – the ocean isn’t like a lake or river, where the perimeters aren’t as broad . Plus, it’s been a while, maybe the victim’s body was already eaten by fish or sharks . Chances of finding anything here are slim to none . I know you have money, but I don’t see the point of the search…”
Upon hearing what the team leader said, Huo Mian’s expression turned pale white .
Su Yu snapped angrily, “What’s with the bull crap? I have money, just do what I say and keep going tomorrow…”
“Okay then, you’re the boss…” the team leader said helplessly . Then, he turned around and walked away .
With a depressed expression on her face, Huo Mian looked at the vast ocean, glowing under the setting sun .
“Su Yu…”
“Yeah?”
“Let’s go…”
“It’s okay, Huo Mian, we have money and time . We’ll keep looking, as long as you don’t give up . ”
“Let’s go, the team leader was right . There’s no point . ”
“So you’re saying that… you think Qin Chu’s…”
“I know Qin Chu’s still alive . One day, he’ll come looking for me . ” Huo Mian’s tears flowed uncontrollably out of her eyes as she said this .
Su Yu walked up to her, hoping to hand her a tissue . However, Huo Mian suddenly lost consciousness, and he ran up to catch her in his arms .
“Huo Mian, wake up!” Su Yu screamed anxiously, scared out of wits .
The good news was, Su Yu was smart enough to bring a private doctor with them, since he knew Huo Mian was pregnant and might get sick .
On the private plane back to C City, the doctor walked up to Su Yu after examining Huo Mian .
“How is she?”
“Don’t worry, President Su, Miss Huo is fine . She’s just overly nervous and sustained too much emotional pressure, causing her to break down mentally . Plus, she’s in her first trimester, but she hasn’t been eating properly . She’ll be fine, just make sure she gets enough rest . ”
After hearing what the doctor said, Su Yu nodded; he glanced over at Huo Mian’s pale face and felt a surge of guilt creep up his heart .
He thought she would be happy that he brought her out to sea . But know it seems like this trip was no more than another blow to her .
Huo Mian didn’t wake up until they arrived back at C City’s military hospital .
Zhixin, Jiang Xiaowei, Gao Ran, Zhu Lingling, and the others came as well, all worried to death about her .
Huo Mian slowly opened her eyes . “You guys are all here…”
Her voice was weak and feeble, and she didn’t seem to have much strength in her .
“Sis, you really scared me this time,” Zhixin tightened his hand around Huo Mian’s, and the latter forced a smile . “I’m fine, I’m just a little tired . ”
“Mian, you’re freaking the hell out of us… we’ve lost Mr . Qin already, we can’t lose you too…” Zhu Lingling was a straight-talker, and she broke into tears as soon as she said this .
