Chapter 266: Chapter 266: It Seems Like Someone Has Fallen Into the Water!
He didn’t oppose Gu Qiangwei being with him, but he wouldn’t let Qiangwei become a part of the Qin family.
In other words, even though he had already registered his marriage with Gu Qiangwei, to his grandfather, it was nothing more than a worthless piece of paper.
Looking at his silent demeanor, Li Yuan already knew the answer.
Thinking of Gu Qiangwei’s situation, he couldn’t help but worry.
“I know what you’re going to say, don’t worry, I won’t let her become the next Ma Qianqian.”
Qin Sijue spoke, but his gaze was fixed on the sea’s expanse.
What worried Li Yuan was that if his grandfather launched a sudden attack, even if he wanted to protect Qiangwei, he would probably be unable to guard against it!
However, knowing Qin Sijue’s character, if his grandfather really did that, he might end up losing this grandson, right?
Of course, this was based on whether Sijue had truly fallen in love with Qiangwei. Was it a fleeting interest, or had his heart been deeply rooted in Qiangwei for a long time?
Li Yuan didn’t speak again and, like him, turned to face the cruise ship’s bow, admiring the starry sky over the sea under the night.
Qin Sijue glanced at his watch and realized that nearly an hour had already passed unnoticed, and it would still be over half an hour before they reached Lover Island.
He turned around, wanting to look for Gu Qiangwei.
No sooner had he taken a step than a sudden ‘plop’ sounded from the rear deck of the ship.
The clear cry of alarm, carried by the sea breeze, was still audibly distinct.
Qin Sijue’s step faltered, he turned his head, and his entire being, like a statue, suddenly froze in place.
Then, an uproar erupted from the position of the ship’s stern.
“My God, it looks like someone’s fallen overboard!”
“It’s true! Look quickly, there’s a piece of clothing in the water!”
Because of the strong evening wind, there weren’t many people on the rear deck, and it was only after the sound of someone falling overboard that people rushed to the railing. They saw a black jacket being slapped by the violent waves, sometimes surfacing, sometimes submerged by the water!
The cruise ship wasn’t very large, and the distance from bow to stern wasn’t very long either. Standing at the railing, Li Yuan, who was on the side of the ship, happened to catch a glimpse of the ship’s stern section and those who hurried to the railing to peer down.
What shocked him for a moment was that the scream he had just heard… it sounded like…
The more he thought about it, the more frantic his heart became, and his expression suddenly changed as he turned towards Qin Sijue, who was also staring there, motionless.
“Sijue, that voice just now… it couldn’t be… Qiangwei, could it?”
If it really was her, then the person who fell overboard was…
Li Yuan dared not think further. By the time he came back to his senses, Qin Sijue had already rushed to the rear of the ship!
By this time, the cruise ship had already moved far away from the spot where the person had gone overboard, and that black jacket had long since vanished from sight.
Looking out at the sea, Qin Sijue’s heart suddenly filled with anxiety and unrest.
“Hello, the mobile phone you are trying to reach is currently unavailable…”
Listening to the mechanical voice on the phone, Qin Sijue’s heart sank even further.
With a turn, he rushed into the cabin, calling out Gu Qiangwei’s name like a madman!
Witnessing him enveloped in madness, Li Yuan’s heart also became chaotic.
“Qiangwei, Qiangwei!” He too began frantically searching for any sign of Gu Qiangwei!
The news of the man overboard spread, the cruise ship halted, and the search and rescue began, along with the identification of the person who fell overboard!
However, they searched inside and out, up and down, and still found no trace of Gu Qiangwei…
The whole cruise ship could almost hear the roar of Qin Sijue’s voice.
