Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 64 Out to Sea

The propeller rotated vigorously, creating loud sounds and stirring up snow-white spray.

The light and swift speedboat shot away from the coast like an arrow, disappearing into the vast and silent night.

Huo Zhenyang stood at the helm, steering the speedboat.

His shirt collar was undone by one button, revealing his well-defined neck. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, showcasing his attractive forearm muscles. With both hands on the wheel, he seemed like a warrior controlling his chariot in the darkness.

Jiayi, thrown onto the speedboat, was bewildered for a while but finally came to her senses. She got up from the deck and rushed over, her little face pale, shaking his arm, "Let me off, let me off now!"

He turned his handsome face, his gaze fixed on her with the usual indifference, and because of the late night, it was shrouded in a layer of haze.

Remembering what had just happened in the woods, she involuntarily shuddered and quickly withdrew her hand, stepping back half a step.

The fearsome people in the woods, they all called him Boss Huo.

This man was no good sort either.

He knew what she was thinking, and with a flash in his deep eyes, he said coldly, "The man who just died was a well-known thug on Suwang Island, with a long criminal record. Because he had connections with the local police, he often robbed tourists over the past few years, had assaulted numerous female tourists, and even kidnapped tourists, causing several fatal incidents. Yet every time, he was detained for no more than a few months or years before being released. Such a person, is it a pity that he died?"

She gasped for air, her chest heaving. Her tightly clenched fists gradually relaxed, and she finally calmed down.

The sea breeze at night brushed by, drying the cold sweat on her body and dispersing her previous shock and panic. She was finally calm.

But a new tension arrived.

All around was the pitch-black night of the deep sea, with seawater rolling beneath the yacht’s deck.

Apart from the yacht’s navigational lights, the surrounding scenery was almost impossible to see.

It was as if she was in the most desolate uninhabited place on earth.

While she was lost in thought, the speedboat had already travelled an unknowable distance from the coast.

She sprang up, "Where are we?"

The man looked back leisurely and with a hint of teasing, "What’s the matter, not causing a fuss anymore?"

Taking her offshore to clear her mind had indeed been effective.

When she saw him looking at her, she inexplicably shrank a little and stammered, "I want to go ashore, turn around."

The girl, although not so panicked anymore, still seemed somewhat afraid of him.

Although she had always been somewhat intimidated by him before, she had never looked at him the way she did today, as if she were looking at a devil.

This feeling annoyed him.

The handbrake halted abruptly, and in an instant, the sound of the engine and the propellers ceased.

The speedboat came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the open sea.

"What happened, why did we stop?" she asked in surprise.

"We’ve lost power," he said mildly, as if he didn’t think it was a big deal.

Jiayi was dumbfounded. Lost power? Were they actually stranded at sea?

"So, what now? Call for help? Wait for the coast guard?"

"There’s a backup power source, but starting it up and charging it takes time. Let’s take it slow," Huo Zhenyang replied measuredly, slightly bending down to open the panel beneath the controls, pulling out the battery, and slotting it into the charging dock.

The whole process was quick and efficient.

She watched, momentarily mesmerized.

Not to mention operating a yacht, Jiayi was certain this was her first time even being on one.

Especially this kind of private yacht, a plaything of the rich, something she had nothing to do with.

He noticed her staring at him and inexplicably flashed a smile, "You won’t drown. I got a yachting license in Italy, with seven years of experience."

This speedboat belonged to the Longding Society, docked at the beach, and was from the renowned Italian brand RIVA.

RIVA’s yachts, often referred to as the "Rolls-Royce of yachts," were exclusively for the elite.

He had mastered it years ago, familiar with every part, and could even disassemble and reassemble it with ease.

Jiayi could only sit by the deck, letting the speedboat leisurely move across the sea as if strolling.

Waiting sluggishly for it to charge, until when?

With the yacht’s current speed, it wouldn’t get back to shore in three days, right?

"How much longer until it’s charged?" Her voice was soft and weak.

This young lady, how impatient could she be?

Was he some fierce beast or venomous snake? Was it really that difficult to be alone with him?

He raised his eyebrows and set the yacht to autopilot mode.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Jiayi didn’t dare to ask more and turned her head away.

But then she heard a "bang," the sound of something falling into the water!

She was startled and looked towards the noise, only to see the man’s tall and proud figure flash as he dived off the deck, causing a burst of spray.

She stood up abruptly and shouted down the side of the boat, "What are you doing—get back up here—"

Was this man insane? Jumping into the sea in the middle of the night!

The water rippled, and Huo Zhenyang’s head emerged, his face calm, with a hint of exhilaration on his lips, nonchalant, quirking them, "No idea how much longer, waiting is boring, just came down for fun. How about it, do you want to join?"

With that, he stretched out his strong arms and started swimming backstroke near the boat with the grace of an athlete.

He was an excellent swimmer, often going into the sea on whims during outings with friends.

He had even swum in the Pacific Ocean before.

He was well aware of the depths and dangers of such a sea area.

To him, it wasn’t much of a big deal.

She took a deep breath, what a lunatic, he wasn’t scared of being eaten by a shark passing by in the night!

Of course, she wasn’t going to go down, so she sat back down.

After a while, there seemed to be no sound from below.

The splashing and slapping of the waves from before, it seemed, had ceased.

She felt an inexplicable panic and looked out over the water, which was indeed calm.

Damn it, did she jinx it, that man...was he really swallowed by a shark?

No, that couldn’t be, this sea area shouldn’t have those large marine creatures, right?

"Are... are you still there? Are you alright?" She tried shouting tentatively.

No one responded.

Only her own echo spiraled between the sea and sky.

Suddenly, her heart became turbulent, her voice grew louder, "Huo Zhenyang, where are you? Answer me—"

Still no movement.

She leaned her head down to see more clearly, but on the pitch-black sea, how could one see any figure? Immediately, her voice became tearful:

"Huo Zhenyang, don’t scare me—say something—"

This damn man, why swim for no reason?

Could it be a cramp in his leg or something went wrong while diving?

No, she couldn’t just wait there and do nothing.

Jiayi didn’t think long before she grabbed the orange life ring from the yacht, put it on, stood up, and looked down at the ocean, feeling a bit dizzy.

It was over, why was everything going dark—

She figured she might have a fear of the deep sea, what to do—

But in the end, she clenched her teeth and with a splash, jumped in.
