Chapter 248: Chapter 252: Danger (7)

"We’re urgently repairing the damage, and we’ve sent out a distress signal; a rescue ship will arrive soon! Everyone, please stay calm!"

The ship won’t capsize, nor will it sink. The damage was caused by hitting a reef, which only disrupted the drainage system. That means the ship is safe, except for being temporarily unable to sail.

"Hooray, hooray!" Many people, who were panicking like headless flies, immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Jiang Xuanqi, who had been rushing around just moments before, also let out a sigh of relief, deflating like a burst balloon and slumping over the side of the lifeboat.

As if to prove the captain’s words, indeed, after the initial jolting, the ship had stopped rocking. The hull showed no signs of sinking, clearly indicating it would not go down easily.

Because the yacht Ling Yichuan had purchased was indeed a masterpiece crafted by the "World Ship King" with great care. Moreover, before being launched, it had been checked and guaranteed to be problem-free. Built strong and sturdy, with materials even including the lightweight titanium used in spacecraft, a minor collision wouldn’t cause much damage.

Of course, since the bottom of the ship had struck the reef, even though immediate measures were taken, the drainage system and propulsion systems were both damaged to a certain extent. It was still unclear what the specifics of the collision were, making it impossible to return to shore using this ship for the time being. It would need to be towed back by maritime vessels.

Luckily, this voyage was not far from the coast, just about ten nautical miles. With many ships nearby, one of the closest had already been moving towards them upon receiving the signal.

The captain then announced this update, stating it would take roughly half an hour for the approaching "Venus" to arrive successfully.

Hearing this, everyone aboard finally let out a breath of relief.

With the immediate danger over, people started to turn their attention to matters other than escaping.

Jiang Xuanqi was the first to regain composure. She had already twisted her ankle, her hair was a mess, and her clothes were in disarray. Seizing the moment, she didn’t say a word and started fixing her hair, straightening the clothes below her life jacket. Her assistant came over, and Jiang Xuanqi glared with great dissatisfaction, "Where the hell were you! I was pushed to the ground, and now my clothes and hair are a mess! Do you have a mirror? I need to check myself!"

When Jiang Xuanqi had been escaping, she hadn’t cared at all about her assistant Xiao Qiang and had run ahead on her own. But now, she was blatantly lying, blaming Xiao Qiang for not being able to protect her from being pushed to the ground.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, and her voice suddenly rose, "It was that bastard who pushed me, causing me to fall! Show yourself!"

In the panic of the moment, everyone had only cared about their own safety, who had time to look after others? After being pushed, Jiang Xuanqi hadn’t seen who it was, which was why she asked that question.

Perhaps because of the recent rescue operation, the deck was quiet. With Jiang Xuanqi yelling like that, everyone on the ship turned to look at her.

Jiang Xuanqi was truly furious; as a celebrity who had debuted five years ago, she seldom had such an embarrassing moment—her embarrassment being the fact that she was pushed to the ground, her hair a mess, her clothes torn, high heel broken, and to top it all, her ankle was sprained!

Thanks to the generous rewards from "South Pole Meimei" and
