This was a maritime disaster! The cruise ship had hit a reef! If the whole ship capsized, she, as a person, was done for!
Moreover, even if she fell into the sea and was not drowned immediately, she might still freeze to death, starve, or even be attacked by sharks! Didn’t you see, the Titanic had 1,500 people perish? And not long ago, the maritime disaster in South Korea claimed over 300 lives?
If she perished, what good would post-incident media coverage do? She wanted to be famous, but not to be remembered in such a way!
She had to escape, no matter what, her life was the most important thing!
Of course, she wasn’t Yu Zexiao, she hadn’t been on this ship before, and she didn’t know that life vests were stored in every room. When the emergency occurred, she was the first to rush out, even pushing past the crew member who was still standing dumbfounded at the door, and stumbled outside.
At this time, the crew had already started handing out life vests on deck. She didn’t say a word, but pounced forward, snatching one and hastily putting it on. Later, when people from the crew emerged, and another crew member began to launch the lifeboats, she still ran ahead, only to be shoved aside by a strong, strapping stunt double.
Although typically among the crew, Jiang Xuanqi only refrained from arrogance with Director Li, Yu Zexiao, and Lu Jiayuan—Director Li and Yu Zexiao aside, Lu Jiayuan’s status was so supreme that her behavior had no effect on him. Of course, Lu Jiayuan was a rather peaceful person, or, at least, he seemed very easygoing on the surface. Therefore, Jiang Xuanqi had no conflicts with him—after all, Lu Jiayuan’s future work focus would still be in the United States.
But aside from them, she practically strutted around. Wherever she went, people would cater to her, and wherever she set foot, hoards of fans adored her. She had long gotten used to a life of being venerated. If faced with someone of higher status it was one thing, but as soon as she saw someone of lower status dare to talk back to her, she would instantly bristle. That was precisely why she didn’t like Jian Anning at all.
And now, she had been pushed aside and her high heels had wobbled, snapping the heel off. She couldn’t balance herself and, with an "ouch," fell to the ground. The hairstyle she had so carefully arranged was now all mussed up from the shoving. A lock of hair poked out from the top of her head and dangled along her cheek, her life vest was also torn and in disarray, and her expensive clothes became disheveled, making her look extremely unkempt.
She was wearing high heels, and her foot was also twisted. But at this moment, she couldn’t care less, enduring the pain in her ankle. Without the time to fix her hair and clothes, she limped toward the lifeboat.
The cruise ship had sufficient lifeboats. This kind of luxury yacht, once there was an accident, all the safety measures were quite complete. It just so happened that the direction Jiang Xuanqi took was where Ling Yichuan and his group were located—because there were fewer people there. After all, with the incalculable wealth backing Ling Yichuan and the others, the crew had already prepared a special lifeboat for them well in advance.
When Jiang Xuanqi rushed to the lifeboat, Yu Zexiao was dragging Jian Anning over. Jiang Xuanqi was busy fighting for a spot and had no time to pay them any heed—with the enemy at hand, life could be lost at any moment, what did a man matter?
"Don’t panic, don’t panic, there are enough spots for everyone, come one at a time!"
