The malicious comments of the haters were swiftly drowned out by the overwhelming support of Si Fuqing’s fans.
Their indignation and fervor surged, as they rallied to defend her.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, the fishermen saved by Si Fuqing were also relieved. They had already planned to visit Si Fuqing with some homemade local specialties as soon as they were discharged.
In the hospital’s main lobby, JIANG Shuihan instructed the members of the Thousand Army Alliance to start withdrawing.
“Captain,” Shang Lu said dejectedly in front of him, “It’s all my fault for not staying with Miss Si.”
He had been staying with the Jiang family for the past few days.
After all, the Miracle Doctor Alliance’s assessment had just ended, and the Jiang family was in the limelight.
Si Fuqing had assigned him to protect the Jiang family, especially Jiang Changning, to prevent people with ill intentions like Fang Mingquan.
Who could have expected someone as malicious as Qi Shuning, driven by personal greed?
“People are unpredictable,” JIANG Shuihan shook his head, pausing before adding, “That person earlier mentioned a ‘master’…”
“It’s Miss Sits boss,” Shang Lu quickly said, “His surname is Yu.”
JIANG Shuihan raised an eyebrow, ‘Yu?”
The Yu surname was rare but significant, especially as the leading family in Sijiu City, renowned and prominent.
However, to the Three Aristocratic Families and the Four Major Alliances, it was far away from significance.
“I find him mysterious, and he doesn’t quite resemble the Yu family members I’ve met,” Shang Lu said, scratching his head. “I’ve only seen him a few times, and each time I felt like kneeling before his imposing presence. Captain, he might be an evolved being, but I’m not sure.”
JIANG Shuihan pondered, “Is that so…”
After a moment, he smiled slightly, “Then, I must meet him if I have the chance.”
He looked out the window at the departing search and rescue helicopters.
Others might not recognize them, but JIANG Shuihan knew.
Such equipment, seemingly ordinary but highly functional, could only be the style of the MO family.
Protecting civilians was indeed the responsibility of the Thousand Army Alliance. The Feng family, being close by, naturally had to show up.
The sea tornado had been maliciously created, so the Supernatural Management Bureau would definitely get involved.
But the MO family?
JIANG Shuihan’s gaze deepened.
He turned away, calling Mu Qingmeng, “Lady, Miss Si is safe but still recuperating. I plan to stay a few more days. Please take good care of yourself.”
Elsewhere, at the border between East Ridge Sea and South Empty Sea, Xie Yanqiu also received a call. She sighed in relief, “Good that Qingqing is safe.
And that other bastard was caught; we must interrogate him thoroughly.”
Xie Yanqiu and JI Xingzhi, working together, easily handled a Master of Yin-yang.
JI Xingzhi had sealed the Yin-Yang and Five Elements power within the Master of Yin -Yang, stopping the sea tornado.
Thankfully, everyone had been rescued by Si Fuqing, or there would have been
hundreds of casualties.
Xie Yanqiu, with one of her feet on the unconscious Master of Yin-yang, coldly muttering, “Evil-hearted bastard.”
He deserved punishment.
“Indeed a bastard!” JI Xingzhi agreed, observing Xie Yanqiu.
She did resemble his big brother.
But the world had many look-alikes.
He tended to feel fondness towards those who resembled him.
“Hmph, it’s been a while since I had a fight. Just as I was getting bored, someone sends a pillow when I’m drowsy,” Xie Yanqiu lifted her chin, “Check which family he’s from, or is he an independent practitioner?”
Ji Xingzhi checked, “Fujisan.”
“Fujisan?” Xie Yanqiu frowned, “The first-ranked Yin-Yang family from Eastern Mulberry?”
“Yes, them. Shameless!” JI Xingzhi fumed, “I knew it. I should have destroyed their ancestral grave too. One shrine wasn’t enough to teach them.” They had dared to harm his big brother!
“Brave boy,” Xie Yanqiu was genuinely surprised, “Were you the one in the news recently?”
She had thought the Fujisan family’s shrine caught fire due to their own misdeeds.
“Of course,” JI Xingzhi boasted, “I also blew up the Sakai family’s treasury.” “Not bad,” Xie Yanqiu nodded approvingly, “Boy, are you interested in joining?”
JI Xingzhi, remembering Xie Yanqiu’s methods, twitched his mouth, “Well, you see, I’m a JI family member, and my grandfather only has me.”
“True,” Xie Yanqiu sighed, “We need to leave a descendant for the JI family.”
She felt a bit worried.
Where could she find enough manpower?
“Alright, then row back on your board,” Xie Yanqiu said, “I’ll take this bastard away.”
JI Xingzhi: ‘
With hundreds of kilometers to Southern State, how long would he have to row?
He was indeed just a tool.
Compared to this, his big brother was much better to him.
JI Xingzhi could only resignedly put the longboard back into the water, returning disheartenedly.
Meanwhile, in the capital city of Northern State, in a very ordinary residential building:
A woman sat on the sofa, watching the news on TV.
The door opened, and a man walked in, frowning at her, “What news are you watching?”
“There’s been a sea tornado in Southern State,” the woman sighed, “Thankfully, there were no casualties. Similar disasters happened last year too, it’s really worrying, life is so fragile.”
The man watched the news about the sea tornado, pursing his lips, comforting softly, “Don’t worry, there are specialized departments handling this.”
“What departments?” the woman chuckled, ‘You’re not seriously talking about the Supernatural Management Bureau, are you? That’s just in movies. Besides, this is a natural disaster, what does it have to do with the supernatural?”
The man shook his head, also smiling, “Nothing at all. We’re just ordinary people, and that’s good enough.”
“Little Xing will be back soon,” the woman glanced at the clock and sighed again, “He’s starting his senior year of high school, but his grades just won’t improve.”
“It’S not 11Ke acaaenucs are tne only patn,” tne man was more optimistic, “Let’S see what he wants to do in the future.”
The TV anchor’s voice came through, “Latest news, our reporter has just received information that Miss Si Fuqing is receiving treatment at the hospital and is currently safe.”
“According to the rescued fishermen, Miss Si Fuqing saved them in a critical moment. We will continue to follow up…”
Si Fuqing’s photo appeared on the screen.
A rare frontal photo, still without makeup.
“This girl is amazing, she actually saved so many people, she—” The man glanced casually at the screen, then froze, staring transfixed at the TV, gasping, “She, she…”
The woman also paused, then quickly got up and fetched a photo frame from the bookshelf.
It was a picture of two people together..
