Chu Yan quickly stood up and said to Director Yu, “What are you waiting for? Stop them.”

Director Yu’s voice was much lower: “That boat is about to sink. There is only a small section left on the water, and the people inside, I’m afraid, I’m afraid—”

Zhou Awu roared: “Why do you keep talking about here? Why don’t you hurry up and save people? Hurry up!”

Director Yu went out in a hurry again. Small boats kept being dropped from the big boat, and people kept jumping into the river to rescue those who were calling for help one by one.

Chu Yan endured the heart-piercing pain and jumped into a small boat. When the boat reached the side of the sinking boat, Chu Yan jumped off the boat and dived into the icy river water.

Zhou Awu was also an expert swimmer, he jumped into the river after Chu Yan, first to help find Bai Zhi, and second to protect Chu Yan nearby.

He can’t lose two of the most important people in his life at the same time.

The river water was so cold that it even chill his bones, but not as good as his gradually cooling heart.

The huge merchant ship, in front of his eyes, sank little by little, and one body after another floated to the surface, but he never found the girl who was holding his heart.

Chu Yan suddenly felt dizzy, and his limbs gradually became weak. He failed to continue floating. Looking at the sinking hull and the corpses floating in the water, he had no intention to float up again.

Without Bai Zhi, how he will continue to live?

Chu Yan’s body sank, and he didn’t even make the last effort, he just let his body continue to sink.

Zhou Awu floated to the surface to take a breath. After waiting for a while, he didn’t see Chu Yan come up. Every time they floated up, the difference was not long. Why did it take so long this time?

Zhou Awu thought of something and quickly dived.

The light in the water was completely dependent on the lamp held by the person above, so the further down you dive, the darker it becomes.

He was very flustered in his heart. He took a deep breath and dived desperately. He had already dived to his limit. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly grabbed a corner of the robe. The material of the robe was ordinary, but the pattern on the top made him happy.

This dress was just put on by Chu Yan. The cuffs of the dress were embroidered with a very special pattern. It was very thick and had a very special touch. He felt it as soon as he touched it.

Holding on to the body that had lost its mobility, he quickly kicked his legs and floated up desperately.

After Chu Yan woke up, it was already three days later.

He was in a coma for three days, three full days.

The sunken ship has been salvaged, twenty-seven bodies have been recovered, and thirteen survivors have been rescued, including Song Lang and Old Yuan.

Twenty-nine people were missing, including Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing who served her.

As soon as Chu Yan opened his eyes, he immediately lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed. He fell to the ground just after taking a step. He had no energy at all.

Zhou Awu heard the movement and came in, and quickly helped Chu Yan who fell to the ground: “Your Highness, you can’t get out of bed now, go back and lie down.”

Chu Yan was overworked and stayed in the cold river. At this time, he was very ill, and he had not eaten for many days, so it was strange that he had strength.

“Where is Zhi’er, have you found her? Have you found her yet?” He grabbed Zhou Awu’s collar tightly and asked in a hoarse voice.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was terrifying.

Zhou Awu lowered his eyes and shook his head gently as if saying: I haven’t found it yet.

After Chu Yan heard this, he immediately released him and struggled to get up: “I’m going to find her, you get out of the way.”

How could Zhou Awu be willing? He hurriedly stopped in front of him: “Your Highness, where are you going to find her now? The boat has been salvaged, there is no Zhi’er, there is no Zhi’er!”
