Chapter 24 - Something Happened on the Cruise (2/2)

“Sister Fang, what would you like to drink? Juice? I’ll go get it.” Ye Ruifang smiled and thanked her.

The two of them chatted amicably as the night fell. A cool breeze blew and Ye Ruifang’s scarf fluttered in the wind. She reached out to grab it, but she stumbled and almost fell. Chi Yaoxi quickly reached out and grabbed her arm tightly. Her fingernails accidentally scratched Ye Ruifang’s wrist. The two of them started laughing. Luckily, she didn’t lose anything

When the little guy called, Chi Yaoxi felt a little awkward and quickly hung up. After all, if others knew that she had such a big son, even if he was not her biological son, it would cause a huge commotion.

Ye Ruifang smiled and patted Chi Yaoxi’s shoulder. “It’s late. Let’s go back. I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Alright, Sister Fang, I’ll go make a call. It’s a little cold at night. You should go back early too.”

Chi Yaoxi entered the luxurious private room of the cabin alone and called the little fellow. She had just spoken for a few minutes, but before she could finish, the room suddenly turned dark. Following that, a commotion could be heard from outside. There were also people shouting about the blackout.

Chi Yaoxi said goodbye to the little fella and said that she would call him when she had time.

Why was there a blackout on the cruise ship? Did something happen? The room was dark, and Chi Yaoxi was a little nervous. Where was Xiao Ye at this time?

Chi Yaoxi had just turned on the flashlight when she heard a loud knock on the door from outside. It was as if someone was smashing the door. Chi Yaoxi, who was already nervous, became even more worried. Were there bad people? Were there robbers who wanted to kidnap her?

Chi Yaoxi immediately turned off the light on her phone and curled up on the sofa in horror. Her heart beat faster, and she didn’t dare to move or make a sound. She kept having an ominous feeling.

It was rare for her to attend a banquet, so why did this happen! How unlucky…

“Is there anyone in the room? Come out! Hurry!”

The banging on the door outside came one after another. Chi Yaoxi could hear the sounds of people running back and forth outside. It was noisy shouting, as if someone was holding a microphone to maintain order.

“There’s been an accident. Don’t panic! Come out and line up. Everyone is to be investigated!”

So it wasn’t a robber. Chi Yaoxi’s tense heart relaxed a little.

The lights in the room lit up again. Chi Yaoxi opened the door and went to the deck. She saw that there were already dozens of people standing outside. There were also a few colleagues from the production team. Everyone was whispering and discussing.

“I think someone fell into the water.”

“Oh my god! How can that be? Isn’t this cruise’s security very good?”

“That’s because that person couldn’t be saved. Someone died. Why would there be someone falling into the water at such a time!”

Chi Yaoxi vaguely listened to the surrounding people’s discussion and couldn’t help but frown. Those who attended this banquet were either high-ranking officials or famous entrepreneurs, or celebrities with high nationality and fame.

Such a large group of people all had different identities, but their backgrounds were not small. No wonder they were in such a big formation now. So… who died in the water?

The emergency lights on the cruise ship were all turned on, and the dazzling white light illuminated the entire deck like it was daytime.

“Everyone, come over here! Apart from the crew, hurry and split into two groups of men and women. Move quickly!”
