Chapter 579 - 591 Battling Sharks in the Sea
Chapter Five Hundred Ninety-One: Battling the Shark at Sea
Miss Su Mengfei, Xiao Ling’er, and Zheng Yuling swam desperately forward, the sound of heavy objects plunging into the water behind them filling them with unspeakable terror. At that moment, they didn’t have the courage to look back; all they could do was swim with all their might, focusing solely on reaching the shore and getting away from the shark, with no room in their minds for any other thoughts.
Just as they neared the shore, they came upon Su Mengxin, half-floating on the water’s surface. Seeing Su Mengxin, Miss Su Mengfei, her cousin, was the first to recover her senses and hurriedly grabbed a hold of her cousin, her own body sinking, and her knees hitting the solid ground. Where they were, the water was only half a meter deep. When Su Mengxin fainted, she had fallen face up in the water; her face floated on the surface—if not, she would have certainly suffocated.
The three of them quickly and clumsily dragged Su Mengxin onto the beach, and only then did they subconsciously look back.
To their surprise, the sea was tumultuous, with the shark’s silhouette intermittently appearing in their line of sight, and along with it was Li Yifei, although far too distant for them to discern his exact situation. But one thought struck them all—that Li Yifei had already been caught by the shark.
"Brother-in-law!" Su Mengfei cried out, tears suddenly flooding her eyes.
Xiao Ling’er did not make her usual commotion this time; instead, she fell completely silent. She had come to understand why they had been thrown out of the boat by Li Yifei. It was because he had spotted the shark and thus had thrown them out to safety. By doing so, Li Yifei had naturally stayed behind, which was why the shark had caught up to him. Otherwise, given Li Yifei’s swimming speed, he could have easily swum away first, and then it would have been one, two, or all three of them who might have been eaten by the shark.
At that moment, Zheng Yuling was frantically shouting, "Help, there’s a shark in the water!"
Zheng Yuling’s shout, sharp and piercing, turned out to be incredibly effective. The bodyguards, who had stayed by the villa and not followed, heard her cry and immediately ran towards the commotion.
Although they had guns, the distance was too great, and once they were in the water, it would be entirely impossible to shoot the shark, unless they could find a boat and hurry out. But there were no boats available, and for a moment, the bodyguards stood completely helpless.
