There was a commotion in the lobby on the first floor.

Two or three people ran up to the second floor to ask questions, and the other guests also turned their eyes to the crew who hurried over to report.

"Mr. Chu, is there something wrong with the yacht?"The young master of the Chen family asked anxiously.

Chu Congnian raised his hand to ask everyone to calm down and signaled the crew to report truthfully.

"The yacht hit an unknown reef during the voyage, and the waterproof bulkhead was hit, and irregular holes with a diameter of about three meters were knocked out in cabins 2 and 3.

The captain checked and found that the engine generator and other instruments and equipment had not been soaked in water for the time being, but at the current rate of water inflow, they could only last for ten minutes at most."It is impossible to plug a hole more than three meters in size.

Master Chen was so anxious that he pulled his hair straight,"In other words, the ship is going to sink?!"

The crew nodded quickly.

The whole hall exploded in an instant.

"Aren't there emergency boats? The situation is critical now, let's go back on the boats first!"

Chu Congnian had a bad feeling in his heart after he finished speaking.

The crew member hurriedly said,"Miss Wang left on a boat with the Wang family's waiters and bodyguards. Now, there are no boats available, and most of the inflatable boats have been taken away. The only three left are missing the same parts and cannot be repaired."

The crew member lowered his head,"A distress signal has been sent out, but there are no other ships passing by within a radius of 10 nautical miles. The rescue ships or submarines and aircraft rushing from the shore will take more than 20 minutes.……"

Everyone was terrified when they heard this.

After climbing to this position with great difficulty, who would not cherish his life?

He wanted to live a few more years to enjoy a rich life!

But now... damn Wang Xuejiao!

She actually left with their only hope of survival!

If they can go back, they will definitely make the Wang family look bad!

The organizer of this yacht banquet is the Wang family, and the yacht also belongs to the Wang family.

Wang Xuejiao lost face and left early, but left them here!

Everyone present wanted to tear Wang Xuejiao to pieces to vent their anger.

Chu Congnian rubbed his brows,"No matter how stupid Wang Xuejiao is, she would not ignore this ship of dignitaries. Have you tried to contact the boat where Wang Xuejiao is? Let them come back for help quickly!" The remaining guests and waiters on the ship now add up to nearly two hundred people, not to mention that more than half of them are from the upper class circle. The Wang family can't afford to offend all these people.

At this time, the captain came hurriedly with several crew members, and everyone held their breath and looked over.

"Everyone, the small boats released by the yacht cannot be contacted at all. It seems that they have unilaterally blocked the connection."

Master Chen's face was pale,"I just called Wang Xuejiao, but her phone was also turned off.……"

It is not difficult to imagine that Wang Jiaoxue lost so much face today that no one would want to talk to her. She was afraid of being laughed at or asked questions, so she cut off all signals early.

Chu Congnian took a deep breath.

Fang Youyou's face also became very bad. She turned to look at Gu Xiang and saw that her eyes were a little straight. She consoled him:"Miss Gu, I can actually swim a little bit. I should be able to hold on until the rescuers arrive.……"

Gu Xiang is actually talking to the system in his mind

"System, are you sure this yacht is really going to sink?"

The system page appeared directly, and a red warning light lit up on it, [Crisis! Crisis! The host's life is threatened, please resolve it as soon as possible.]

Gu Xiang's eyes were filled with deep thought,"Where is the yacht I drew before?"

【Do you choose to use a yacht?】

"Yes, hurry up."

【Please select the yacht placement location】

……

Everyone is a successful person who has weathered many storms in the business world, or the children of successful people, but when it comes to life and death, no one can stay calm.

Chen Shao ran out.

Looking out from the crooked side of the ship, there is a vast sea, dead silence, and the yacht they are on is like an isolated island.

The feeling of powerlessness of completely losing hope surged into his heart.

The older rich man hurriedly grabbed the captain,"Is there really no other way! We have money, as long as you can get us back safely, I will give you 500,000, no, 5 million, 50 million... You can give as much as you want, I can't die!"

Mr. Guo stretched out his hand angrily, gritting his teeth,"You have been sailing on the sea for so many years, how can there be no way out of this situation, do you know who I am, if something happens to me, your whole family will not live!"

The captain's collar was grabbed by someone, and he was at a loss to explain that he really had no other way.

But no one listened at all.

More and more people surrounded him, like interrogating a prisoner, these famous families on weekdays now all exposed their hideous fangs

""Enough!"

Gu Xiang's clear voice was like a stream of ice pouring into boiling water.

The whole place was silent for a moment.

Then they continued with what they had been doing before. Many people even called their relatives or lawyers to make their wills.

There was a flurry of chaotic voices.

"Let go of the captain!" The girl's voice sounded particularly solemn.

Now the captain needed to command the crew, operate the instruments, try to control the balance of the hull, set up the planks and prepare for the next evacuation, instead of talking nonsense with those idle people here!

Mr. Guo, who grabbed the captain's collar, didn't care about his manners now.

"Little girl, do you know what is happening now? The ship is going to sink, you will die, everyone will die!"

"This is not something you can solve by just acting cute to your father or husband. As a woman, what can you do to help? It's good enough if you don't hold them back!"

"Do you know how valuable my life is? You will never be able to earn that much money in your next life!"

"You still want to save the hero with beauty? He is just a small captain, even if he has ten lives, it is not enough for him to pay! I will make a promise here, if anything happens to me, my company and my family will make his family and your family pay the price!"

No one else said anything. They all chose to stand by and watch coldly as Mr. Guo accused the little girl.

Obviously, many people also thought that she could not help at all in this critical moment.

Gu Xiang frowned.

The current situation is not something that can be solved by someone's impulse.

His behavior that disregards the overall situation will only implicate the people on this ship!

The captain's face was gray and his blue eyes dimmed.

He only has a mother and a sister in his family. He is the pillar of the family. If something happens to him, he doesn't know how his mother and sister will live in the future. His sister is about to take the college entrance examination. If these family forces get entangled, what should they do!

He also wants to live, and he wants these people to live, but now... there is no way, no one can do it.

The captain cast a grateful look at Gu Xiang and shook his head to signal her not to interfere. Since he is the captain, he should be responsible for anything that happens.

A crew member couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but stepped forward to explain.

"The waterproof material on the bottom of the Wang family yacht had long been rusted, and even had many patches. The material was very brittle, and there was only a thin layer of paint on it, which was not easy to detect.

When we took over, Ms. Wang said that she had already checked it and she could guarantee its safety, and refused our inspection.……"

At that time, Wang Xuejiao felt that it was a waste of time to check before sailing. There had been no problems in so many previous sailings, so she asked the captain to sail quickly.

But no one expected it.

The previous captain of the Wang family’s yacht cut corners, deceived his superiors and subordinates, and used the worst materials where repairs were needed.

After all, even if something happens, don’t we still have a small boat and an inflatable boat?

It was the former captain’s fluke mentality that put everyone in crisis.

Mr. Guo said angrily:"I don’t need to care about what happened before. If something happens to me, she and you will all have to pay with your lives!"

Some people are like this. The more panic they are, the angrier they are. They are completely unreasonable and specifically look for people of lower status than themselves to vent their anger.

Because he knows that bullying such people does not cost anything.

"Well, the most urgent thing now is not to quarrel here," the peacemaker appeared and turned to look at Gu Xiang,"Girl, you are still young, let's leave these things to the adults.……"

Fang Youyou stepped forward and grabbed Gu Xiang, shook her head at her, and said softly:

"The crowd is very excited now. Anyone who stops them will be like adding fuel to the fire. Mr. Chu should go out to check the situation. We should try not to cause any trouble.

An elderly woman, who had already changed into a life jacket and was rolling Buddhist beads in her hands, slowly came over and patted Gu Xiang on the shoulder.

"Miss Gu, he may be a little excited, but after all, at the critical moment of life and death, most people can't calm down... I believe he will wake up after falling into the water. Also, Miss Gu, can you swim?"

The woman's voice was very gentle and her demeanor was very good, which made people feel kind.

"Originally, I wanted to join in the fun at the banquet, but I didn't bring any bodyguards.……"She was slightly embarrassed.

Gu Xiang had a good impression of the woman in front of him and shook his head honestly.

The original owner was not good at swimming, and she herself was also a half-baked person.

Seeing this, the woman was a little disappointed, but she still comforted her:

"There are also crew members. I believe they can help us."

But everyone knows that when people fall into the water, whether they can be rescued depends on who can hold on longer. At the critical moment of life and death, who will care about the life and death of others?

Saying this is just to comfort her.

He raised a friendly smile to the woman,"Madam, although I can't swim, I think we won't have any accidents."

While saying this, he secretly urged the system

【Master, in order for the appearance of Hai Ting to be logical, the placement position must be beyond the detection distance of the naked eye, and the system will reasonably arrange the information loopholes.

Now the yacht has accelerated to arrive, please wait with peace of mind. 】

As soon as Gu Xiang and the woman finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

Mr. Guo, who was holding the captain, let go of his hand and shot his anger at Gu Xiang,"Tian Zhen, in this situation, let alone you, even if God appears, he can't do anything!"

The captain cast a worried look at Gu Xiang and couldn't help but speak for her:"Mr. Guo, this lady may just want to comfort everyone."

Mr. Guo's name is Guo Hukai. He used to run a boxing gym and was also famous for his bad temper in the circle.

Seeing that a lowly captain dared to question him, he was furious and punched the captain in the face. When the fists touched, the people around him took two steps back slightly.

Gu Xiang frowned slightly, stepped forward and dragged the young captain behind him, facing Guo Hukai's anger alone.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the captain wiped it with the back of his hand. He looked up and saw her back, and his light blue eyes flashed.

Fang Youyou couldn't stand it any longer,"How can you be so unreasonable!"

It would be fine if he just cursed a few times to vent his anger, but he actually hit someone!

The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became tense.

Chu Congnian hurriedly walked in at this time, with a happy look on his face. He just saw a yacht coming from a distance on the side of the ship outside...

They are saved!
