My Co-renting Lady Boss
Chapter 1784 - 1783: Searching for Tang Ming
This person did not just face the sea to comprehend martial arts; it is said he gained insights from observing the rise and fall of Dongting Lake’s waters.
Tang Ming had previously scoffed at this, not believing it at all. But now, he felt that the legend might be true because he had already touched upon a hint of inspiration.
Tang Ming and the others settled down on the isolated island, while the outside world descended into chaos.
Ten days later, a large yacht was sailing over the vast sea, with Su Xiaoxi and Su Tianyu standing at the bow, their expressions grave.
"Father, it’s been almost half a month now. Do you think Tang Ming is still alive?"
Su Xiaoxi asked Su Tianyu with a weary face.
"Well... the chances are slim. After all, we rushed to the scene of the accident as soon as we could and rescued Liu Mengting and others at that time. Now, the four missing people have not shown any signs, and their prospects look grim."
Su Tianyu sighed helplessly.
"No, I refuse to believe he’s dead."
Su Xiaoxi shook her head frantically against her tears. "Search, we must continue to search, even if we have to turn this sea upside down. I have to find him." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Don’t worry! The Su Family has teamed up with various families, sending dozens of ships to search each island along the route. As long as they manage to reach shore, we will certainly find them."
Su Tianyu quickly consoled her, hoping desperately that Tang Ming and the others hadn’t fallen into the sea, for then even their bodies might never be found in this expansive ocean!
"What will I do if something really happened to him?"
Su Xiaoxi couldn’t help but burst into tears.
"Don’t be like this; you must be strong, or Liu Mengting and the others won’t be able to hold up."
Su Tianyu quickly reminded her.
"Yes, I understand."
Su Xiaoxi nodded.
Before Tang Ming’s accident, Gao Ya had sent a message to Su Xiaoxi, making her realize something was amiss. She immediately mobilized planes and boats to pursue Tang Ming and the others, and indeed found the signal from Tang Ming’s plane suddenly cut off.
Thankfully, Su Xiaoxi and the others arrived in time to find Shao Wuyou, Hua Yingjie, Meng Xianjun, Wu Xiaoxia, Chen Cang, as well as Liu Mengting and Liu Dongmei near the accident site. Currently, only Ma Jiaran and the three other people with Tang Ming remain missing.
Shao Wuyou, Hua Yingjie, Meng Xianjun, and Wu Xiaoxia are all strong; even if they fell into the water, they’d be fine for a short time. Chen Cang stayed with Liu Mengting, taking good care of her.
As for Liu Dongmei, the jinx was the luckiest one, although it’s unknown why she ended up directly near the rescue ships to be the first rescued.
Ma Jiaran remains missing, and this woman brought it on herself. Initially, Tang Ming had asked Meng Xianjun and Ma Jiaran to share a parachute, but the woman refused, leading to her current plight.
Otherwise, with Meng Xianjun’s capabilities, he could have taken excellent care of her. It goes to show that sometimes fate is forgiving, but one’s own folly is unforgivable!
Su Xiaoxi wiped away her tears and returned to a cabin in the ship where Liu Mengting and the others sat, their faces heavy with concern.
"Xiaoxi, have you heard anything? Still no word on Tang Ming?"
Liu Mengting hurriedly asked Su Xiaoxi.
"Not yet! But don’t worry; we are following the route to search each island. We will definitely find them!"
Su Xiaoxi responded with confident reassurance, no matter how worried she felt inside, she had to remain strong in front of these people.
"But there are so many islands in this vast sea, how can we find them?"
Liu Mengting began to cry; one was her fiancé, the other her best friend, both missing without a trace, it made her heart feel like dying.
"Don’t worry! Tang Ming is so powerful; he’ll definitely be fine."
Shao Wuyou expressed comfort, leading to a sharp glare from Meng Xianjun.
Shao Wuyou quickly covered his mouth, realizing that Tang Ming’s cultivation was sealed, leaving him as an ordinary person. Mentioning his cultivation was the wrong thing to say.
"Sigh!"
Hua Yingjie sighed; though concerned for Tang Ming and the others, he was more anxious about the upcoming medical competition. With ten days gone by, if Tang Ming failed to return before the competition, it would all be for nothing.
"Everyone, leave the search for Tang Ming to me; I’ve arranged for airplanes to take you back to Huaxia. You can’t keep following us like this indefinitely."
Su Xiaoxi advised after thinking it over.
"No, I refuse to go back without finding Tang Ming and Xiaoli."
Liu Mengting stated firmly with no hesitation.
"Meng Ting, don’t be stubborn; you can stay with me, but others have things to attend to."
Su Xiaoxi gently reminded, empathizing, "The New Year is coming up; everyone needs to reunite with their families. Don’t feel burdened; I will certainly find Tang Ming."
"Anyway, I’m not going back."
Liu Mengting nodded resolutely.
The others were silent, though they wished to keep searching for Tang Ming. Su Xiaoxi was right; everyone had their own matters to tend to, and staying wouldn’t change the fact that they were relying on the ships to find him. It was better to return home and await news.
"Miss, a speedboat is approaching us."
At that moment, someone rushed into the cabin to report the situation.
"Hmm? Who could it be?"
Su Xiaoxi became confused.
"Xiaoxi, your armored brother is here."
A loud voice suddenly rang out.
The group quickly ran out of the cabin to check.
"Sun Zhuangjia?"
Su Xiaoxi gazed in surprise at Sun Zhuangjia navigating the boat, with a white-haired elderly man sitting beside him.
"Oh no, how did this guy appear here?"
Su Tianyu’s face changed, "Everyone, be alert."
Back then, Sun Zhuangjia caused trouble for the Imperial City’s major families before Tang Ming injured him. Now he was here, and the Su Family people on the boat were no match for him.
"What’s going on? Is he an enemy of yours?"
Meng Xianjun frowned slightly, looking at Su Tianyu with curiosity.
"He is Tang Ming’s arch-enemy; Tang Ming left him disabled, and he has always had ill intentions towards Xiaoxi."
Su Tianyu anxiously explained.
"Oh, I see. Then we can’t let him aboard."
Meng Xianjun’s face turned cold as he swiftly stood up and jumped off the ship, deploying a golden protective shield on his body, allowing him to land smoothly on the sea. He then quickly rushed towards the speedboat.
"Hey, don’t!"
Su Xiaoxi reacted too late.
"Wow, how is that even possible?"
As he watched Meng Xianjun run over the water, Shao Wuyou was stunned.
The others were also rendered speechless in shock.
"What’s happening?"
Sun Zhuangjia quickly slowed down, confusedly watching Meng Xianjun charge at him.
"Not bad strength; it would be perfect for training. Give it a try."
The old lunatic in the passenger seat looked at Meng Xianjun with interest.
"Alright, I’m listening to Master."
Sun Zhuangjia grinned, stopped the boat, and jumped into the sea, heading towards Meng Xianjun.
