Chapter 579: Chapter 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.

What was most concerning was that from the women’s conversation, they already knew that Li Yifei had been caught by the shark for over ten minutes; there seemed to be no chance of rescuing him.

By then, Su Mengxin had been revived and upon opening her eyes, she frantically looked around, urgently asking, "Where’s Yifei? Where’s Yifei?"

Su Mengfei suddenly embraced Su Mengxin, her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Brother-in-law... brother-in-law has been eaten by the shark."

"No!" Su Mengxin screamed with all her might, nearly fainting again, before turning to the bodyguards and shouting, "What are you standing around for? Why aren’t you rescuing him?"

At this, the bodyguards looked at each other in dismay and, faced with Su Mengxin’s rebuke, they all lowered their heads.

"Yifei!" Su Mengxin cried out in despair, collapsing onto Su Mengfei’s shoulder, overcome with grief.

"Miss Su, something seems off," one of the bodyguards suddenly called out.

"What is it?" Su Mengxin leaped up immediately but felt dizzy and nearly fell again; Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling quickly steadied her.

"Miss Su, if the shark had caught its prey for this long, it should have eaten it by now and left. But the shark is still thrashing around in the water... it seems... it seems to be fighting Mr. Li," the bodyguard said, hardly believing his own words. A man could have a chance in a struggle with some fierce animals on land, which he believed, for with his skills, he could kill a vicious wolf, but facing a tiger or a lion, flight was the only option. However, a person’s fighting ability in the water decreased drastically; how could one wrestle with a shark, the overlord of the sea?

Su Mengxin, stirred to excitement, immediately shouted, "Hurry... help him!" After a pause, she added, "Anyone who goes down and brings Yifei back will be rewarded with one million per person."

As the saying goes, a heavy reward will summon brave men. Although the bodyguards also valued their lives, if Li Yifei could still be fighting the shark, there was likely a greater chance of rescuing him, and with so many of them and guns in their hands, perhaps a flurry of shots could scare the shark away, if not kill it outright.

Thus, all the bodyguards jumped into the sea and swam vigorously towards the churning waves.

Su Mengxin watched anxiously, and Xiao Ling’er, along with the other two women, shared her tension. Xiao Ling’er ventured cautiously, "Mengxin, Yifei can’t be that powerful, right?"

In that moment, Su Mengxin was both comforting herself and psyching herself up, clenching her fist and declaring, "Yifei is just that strong, a shark surely is no match for him."

Su Mengfei smirked and said, "That’s unbelievable, he’d be like a superhero."

As the three of them were talking, the sea suddenly calmed down, which made Su Mengxin’s heart leap into her throat, her body also swayed slightly. The calm sea meant that a fight had ended, and there were only two possible outcomes, one where Li Yifei had won, which would naturally be good news. But if the shark had won, then it might have cost Li Yifei his life.

At this time, the bodyguards had also stopped, the battle was over, and all they could do was wait for the outcome. If Li Yifei had survived, that would still be fine. But if the shark had eaten Li Yifei, then even if they went over there it wouldn’t be of any use, they’d only be putting themselves in danger as well.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a burst of waves swelled on the sea surface, then a shark’s head popped out of the water.

The bodyguards immediately let out a cry of alarm, instinctively backing away, and their guns fired at the shark’s head. Meanwhile, Su Mengxin’s body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Don’t shoot! Are you trying to kill me?" However, a loud shout made Su Mengxin straighten her body at once, and she cried out, "Yifei, Yifei, is that you?"

"It’s all right now, tonight I can treat you all to a shark feast," Li Yifei’s voice came from the surface of the sea.

This time Su Mengxin truly heard Li Yifei’s voice, was thrilled, and immediately rushed into the sea, with Su Mengfei, Xiao Ling’er, and Zheng Yuling following suit, dashing into the water as well.

The bodyguards also quickly swam towards Li Yifei’s direction, and as they got close, they looked at Li Yifei as if he were some kind of monster. At this point, Li Yifei was floating on the surface, holding onto a shark’s pectoral fin and slowly swimming in their direction. The shark lay motionless, its head continuously bleeding, seemingly already killed by Li Yifei.

Li Yifei let go of his hold and said to the bodyguards, "Guys, you have to watch where you shoot. You almost blew my head off just now. This one’s for you to handle, we’ll have an added treat tonight."

The bodyguards hurriedly grabbed the shark, while Li Yifei swam towards Su Mengxin and the others.

"Yifei!" Su Mengxin was the fastest swimmer at the time, she was the first to meet Li Yifei, she cried out joyfully, and immediately wrapped her arms tightly around Li Yifei’s neck, holding on as if wanting to meld her body into his.

Li Yifei gently patted Su Mengxin’s back and laughed, "It’s alright now, it’s alright."

Su Mengxin’s head left Li Yifei’s shoulder, she looked at him, tears still in her eyes, and suddenly pushed her face towards Li Yifei’s face and kissed him on the mouth.

This took Li Yifei by surprise, and before he knew it, Su Mengxin had kissed him, and he forgot to swim, and their bodies sank into the water together.

Su Mengxin didn’t care about any of that, just kissing Li Yifei forcefully, as if with this kiss she wanted to release all the tension and worry she had felt.

Li Yifei had intended to resurface immediately, but such a scene would simply entertain the onlookers, so he simply kissed Su Mengxin underwater for a bit longer before patting her back, pushing her away, and emerging from the water with her.

"Yifei, I’m so glad you’re alive," Su Mengxin said, still holding onto Li Yifei, her gaze filled with the comfort of having survived a calamity.

Li Yifei, meeting Su Mengxin’s gaze, knew she had that kind of feeling for him one hundred percent. If they were just friends, she wouldn’t have reacted like this. It could also be said that if it weren’t for this brush with danger, Su Mengxin wouldn’t have revealed her true feelings like this.

"Mengxin, I’m really tired right now, can we go back and let me rest a bit?" Li Yifei still couldn’t accept Su Mengxin’s feelings, so he changed the subject.

Su Mengxin gasped, quickly released Li Yifei, and then pulled him towards the shore.

Everyone got onto the shore, and Li Yifei immediately lay down on the beach, not wanting to move at all. The shark had been too big, its strength already formidable, and in the water, it was even more agile. Li Yifei was at a great disadvantage in the water, and it took all his strength to kill it.

Su Mengxin immediately sat beside Li Yifei and checked his body carefully. She found several wounds on his legs - though not severe, they were still bleeding. Her heart felt as if it were being cut, as if the wounds were on her own body.

"Yifei, you’re hurt, let’s go to the hospital," Su Mengxin said softly, holding Li Yifei’s hand.

Li Yifei shook his head and replied, "It’s okay, they’re just superficial wounds, not a big deal. I just need to apply some medicine and disinfect later."

Su Mengxin hesitated a moment then immediately ordered a bodyguard to fetch the first aid kit.
