Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox

Chapter 492 - 490: What Nonsense Is That?

"My purpose on the ship is to take over the captain’s position, create ghostly events, and then—ah!"

Strong was suddenly shot in the middle of his brow.

His eyes widened, and what he was about to say remained unfinished.

Tang Si’s eyes flashed coldly.

He immediately switched positions, and a row of bullet marks appeared where he had just spoken.

He hid in a more concealed position, observing the direction of the sniper.

He and Strong had been delaying too long in this place. Although he knew the other party was aware that Strong was exposed, he had to stay here and play a game with Strong.

Otherwise, he would fall into a completely passive situation.

He also needed to extract more information from Strong.

This sniper arrived quickly, and the ambush was swift.

Everything was happening in a tense game of speed.

Moreover, the gun was silenced, making it inaudible.

He crouched behind the hatch, his eyes scanning around, realizing he couldn’t spend too much time here, or else the passengers and Song Yi would be in danger.

"Bang—!"

In the pitch-black night, the ship shook violently again, causing everything to fall from where they were.

Seizing this tremor, Tang Si quickly changed his position.

The sniper couldn’t aim accurately under such conditions.

Just at that moment, he found himself in the cockpit and saw the entire ship crashing into a hidden reef.

But from the cockpit, there was no way to operate the ship, and he couldn’t stay here; he was one of their targets.

...

"Tang Si is no longer in that position."

"Block him for me, don’t let him join that group by any means, that group must board the yacht."

...

When Tang Si ran out of the cockpit and reached the corridor, he heard the sound of helicopters hovering above.

He couldn’t see exactly how many, but it was at least more than two.

Tang Si’s eyes darkened—he had stumbled upon a big deal.

This person not only wanted his life but also came to this location for a transaction.

Just as he was about to head towards the hall, someone suddenly blocked his way.

Dressed in black, another foreigner charged directly at him—

...

At this very moment in the hall.

There was chaos here as well.

Since it was the lower level, water gradually seeped in.

Strong’s deputy hurried over: "The ship hit a hidden reef, and it’s leaking. It won’t be long before the whole ship sinks."

"What should we do? What do we do in this situation?"

"So many people are already dead, and now the whole ship is going to sink. I said this area of the sea is a death zone, and anyone coming here won’t get out."

Many police had come to investigate before, but those sent had never returned, so this area was marked as a restricted sea zone.

Yet this cruise ship had to head this way.

The deputy took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, don’t panic. Our ship has life-saving yachts. Can we board the yachts first?"

Song Yizai, in the far corner, watched the deputy.

Someone spoke up: "Where is your captain? Someone went to find the captain just now and hasn’t returned. Should we wait for them?"

The deputy paused, then a voice came through his earpiece.

A few seconds later, he finally said, "That person went with the captain to bring out the yacht. We need help over there, so we sent him. You all follow me now."

At this point, water was flooding in even more.

Outside, it was pitch black and unilluminated.

"Why do we seem to hear helicopters?"

"Those are our call for rescue by the police. We will all evacuate by helicopter later. We’ll board the yacht first; the ship is about to sink."

Everyone believed the deputy’s words.

They lined up, following the deputy to board the yacht.

Song Yi moved her lips, wanting to stop all this from happening, but couldn’t be sure her reasoning was correct.

She eventually stayed silent.

Moreover, Tang Si hadn’t told her anything. If something happened on the ship, these tourists must be saved, but if she stopped them from boarding the yacht now, Tang Si’s plan might be disrupted.

This sinking ship was a far-fetched situation; even if it were to sink, the rate of flooding couldn’t happen this fast, considering such a large cruise ship.

Quickly, the speed slowed as it reached above her ankle, then to her calf, and the water level noticeably slowed down.

This was clearly a problem.

As everyone queued to leave, Song Yi slipped into a door, not heading for the yacht.

There must be unknown secrets on the ship.

...

Everyone reached the deck; the ship’s lights were also on the deck, starting to count heads.

The deputy counted.

Suddenly, a man’s voice crackled through his earpiece: "Where’s the other woman? Where did she go?"

The deputy looked through the crowd: "Wasn’t she just coming with us? How did she suddenly disappear?"

"You must bring her onto the yacht for me!"

Song Yi must be brought alive.

...

At this moment, Song Yi was hiding in the deepest part of the secret door, her phone still had no signal. Ever since boarding this cruise ship, she never had a signal.

There was, indeed, a signal jammer.

A signal jammer...

Usually placed outside.

Familiar with the layout, she headed all the way to the top.

The helicopters hovered above, and in the dim night, she vaguely saw containers hanging under them, seemingly some kind of goods.

She squinted her eyes.

What police rescue?

If it were a police rescue, why would they need containers? What nonsense!

Climbing up to the top and opening a window, the wind blasted through fiercely, coupled with the helicopter’s turbulence, forcing Song Yi to squint her eyes, feeling as if she couldn’t hold onto the railing and might be blown off.

Her hair was blown into disarray.

She quickly closed the window and retreated to her original position, leaning against the wall, breathing urgently, with fine cold sweat on her forehead.

She should, she should trust her own deduction and reasoning.

At this point, she could only take a gamble, or everyone on the ship would be doomed.

She had to report the current situation, or even if she and Tang Si understood the stakes, they wouldn’t be able to salvage it, considering they were outnumbered.

She pursed her lips, raised her hand, and tied her hair into a messy bun, taking off her cumbersome jacket to move more freely.
