At the hotel.
Many people felt uneasy because of the sudden storm.
Liu Luhua was sent back to her room, where the medical staff was now treating her.
Lu Ming contacted the hotel staff and requested help to rescue Li An’an.
That put the person in charge of the hotel in a difficult position. “CEO Lu, there’s nothing we can do now. The storm is too heavy out at sea!”
Lu Ming was enraged. “A fat lot of good you guys are! We come here to spend money and you can’t even guarantee your guest’s safety? I’m telling you she’s in great danger!” Lu Ming lost his calm. He thought that he’d be able to find someone to rescue Li An’an, but no one was willing to go out to sea.
The hotel person-in-charge apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, I can understand how you feel, but we have to consider the safety of the rescue team. I promise you that I’ll send people to rescue her immediately after the storm passes. I hope you understand!” He then went on to console the other tourists.
Lu Ming sat feebly on the sofa in the lobby. His mind kept replaying the scene of Li An’an falling into the sea. He should have jumped in to save her.
Seeing that no one was going to rescue Li An’an, Li Xinyi returned to her room.
Liu Luhua had woken up, but she was scared out of her wits. “That wretched girl wanted to kill me! She really deserves to die, she deserves to die!”
Li Xinyi took her mother’s hand. “Mom, keep your voice down. Lu Ming is still feeling guilty. Did you get the jade pendant?” She was worried that in the heavy storm, the pendant would have been lost even if her mother had managed to get it back.
Liu Luhua shook her head weakly. “There was no jade pendant, she didn’t have it on her at all. This time round, our efforts have been wasted!”
“I didn’t expect this wretched girl to hate me so much. She’s probably buried in the sea now. She can forget about coming back alive this time!” Liu Luhua trembled in fear at the thought of being submerged in the cold sea water.
“In a heavy storm like this, it’s more likely than not that Li An’an would be in grave danger!” At the thought of this, Li Xinyi was happy again. “She asked for it. She would have gone back to the Li family if she knew what was good for her, but she didn’t.”
Liu Luhua suddenly struggled. “No, we still have to send someone to find it.
There’s still no news of the jade pendant. If your father were to find out what we’ve done, he’ll deal with us harshly for sure!”
Li Xinyi also thought of how terrifying Li Chong was.
“I’ll get Lu Ming to send someone to look for it right away then!” If that were the case, Lu Ming wouldn’t blame them. She hurried to the hotel lobby.
Lu Ming was about to lead his men out. When he saw Li Xinyi running after him with a pale face, the discomfort in his heart dissipated.
“I’m also worried about An’an. It’s all my fault. I’ll go with you!” Li Xinyi gritted her teeth. There shouldn’t be a problem if they went in a bigger yacht this time. But in order to keep up the pretense in front of Lu Ming, she was going all out! “No, you’re not to be blamed for this. Don’t feel guilty. I’ll get An’an back. Wait for me here.
“Lu Ming, be careful then!” Li Xinyi watched in jealousy as Lu Ming walked away in the heavy rain with a few men.
If it weren’t for the jade pendant, she wouldn’t have kept Li An’an. They had miscalculated this time. They didn’t expect that Li An’an would rather jump into the sea than hand over the jade pendant.
In a 20-story high-end apartment building.
Fu Yiheng was playing with the children. It was raining heavily outside. He stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the neon lights in the rain. The weather had changed suddenly. He wondered how An’an was doing on the island.
He took out his phone and made a call. He couldn’t get through.
“God-daddy, it’s raining so heavily. Will something happen to Mommy on the island?” Junjun stood beside him in his dungarees, his beautiful face bearing a worried expression. His mommy said she’d be back tomorrow, but it was raining so hard. Would it delay her journey? He missed his mommy very much. Fu Yiheng smiled at him. “Your mommy will be fine.”
However, his brow was tightly furrowed, as if some things were starting to escape his control. He felt uneasy..
