Chapter 674 He&aposs Not in the Sea
The pilot was shocked and protested, "Mrs. Qin, it's… it's impossible to fly in this weather."
Ziyue glanced at him coldly. "It's possible because I say so!"
"Mrs. Qin!"
The pilot tried to persuade Ziyue, but she would not allow him to speak.
She turned around and pulled a gun from the bodyguard's pocket, pointing it at the pilot's head. "Is it possible now?"
The pilot widened his eyes and did not dare to move. He answered in a trembling voice, "Yes! Yes!"
Ziyue's expression was cold. She tightened her grip on the gun and pressed the barrel at his temple before ordering, "Why are you still standing here?"
…
The plane circled above B City's airspace half an hour later.
The pilot looked pale as he turned to Ziyue, "Mrs. Qin, the wind is too strong. It's too risky to land."
"You have more than ten years of experience as a pilot. You must have a way to deal with this weather." Ziyue looked at him with a flicker of threat in her eyes.
Although it was not impossible to land a plane during a typhoon, the risk was too high. No one would willingly put their lives in danger to attempt that.
However, Ziyue implied she would shoot him if he didn't land the plane.
Therefore, the pilot had no choice but to attempt a landing.
Ziyue looked at the pitch-black scene outside the window. Her heart clenched tightly before it sank and turned cold.
Muchen had been able to turn a dangerous situation to his advantage many times. She believed he would do it again.
After around an hour, the private jet finally landed in B City.
Ziyue left the private jet and rushed toward the plane crash site with her team.
The typhoon wreaked havoc in B City, submersing the roads with water. There were also many objects floating around, making it impossible to drive. They had no choice but to get to the site on foot.
The plane crashed some distance from the center of B City. Ziyue and her group had to brave the strong wind and rain and trudge ahead.
The roads were muddy and in bad condition.
Ziyue brought a group of bodyguards with her. She kept up with their speed and even walked ahead of them.
The crash occurred in a valley of a small mountain. The wind was weaker there.
She noticed lights in that area as she was still some distance away.
It had been five hours since the plane crash. The first responders rushed to the scene and issued the first list of victims before she departed for B City.
She spent two hours traveling from Yunzhou City. Could the second list of victims be published already?
Cold sweat broke out on her body.
She took down the barricade tape and rushed onto the site. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
One of the first responders saw her and stopped her from going further. "Who are you?"
Ziyue's raincoat had long soaked through, allowing rainwater to seep into her hair and flow all over her face. She forced her eyes to stay open and said hoarsely, "I'm the wife of a passenger."
The first responder was surprised.
It had been five hours since the plane crashed. Although it was a considerable time for the first responder, he did not expect a family member to reach the site so soon, especially in such terrible weather. It was quite an impressive feat.
The first responder placed his hand on his safety helmet and considered briefly. Then, he took off the helmet, offered it to Ziyue, and said, "What's the passenger's name? We will watch out for the passenger for you."
"His name is Qin Muchen," Ziyue said, waving her hand. "It's okay. I don't need it."
The first responder did not insist and turned around to proceed with the rescue work.
However, he walked a few steps and suddenly sensed someone following him. He turned around and saw it was the beautiful lady he had just spoken to.
"Why are you following me?"
"I will search for him with you. I've also brought people here if you don't believe I can do it. They can help with your search effort."
He glanced at the five burly men behind Ziyue and had no reason to refuse.
The actual situation was worse than what was reported on the news.
B City was a mountainous city that faced the sea.
The plane broke apart during descent, so the wreckage landed at different places. Part of the wreckage had fallen into the sea.
The night passed quickly.
The sky gradually brightened, and the wind receded.
The wind ceased entirely once the sun had risen.
Ziyue had no time to sleep the whole night but was not sleepy.
Her shirt and pants were so stained with mud that one could not see their original colors.
She stood on a piece of rock and looked at the sea.
The rescue team said part of the plane wreckage had fallen there.
Those who were still missing had likely sunk into the sea.
The search and rescue team left the mountains and searched in the ocean. Unfortunately, all they could find were plane wreckages.
Gricy was ruthless and had no qualms about sacrificing numerous lives to kill Muchen.
The rescue team confirmed the identity of eighty people who died in the plane crash.
However, more than a hundred people were still missing.
"Mrs. Qin, please have some water." One of the bodyguards brought her water.
Ziyue shook her head. Her voice had gone so hoarse that it did not sound like her. "You can have it."
As long as Muchen's body was not found, it meant he was still alive.
…
Ziyue stayed in B City and worked with the search and rescue team for a week.
During this period, they kept discovering dead bodies but not a single survivor.
She felt anxious every day, fearing someone would tell her they had found Muchen.
Ke came over and stood before Ziyue, looking at her grimly. "It has already been seven days. Mrs. Qin, let's return to Yunzhou City, okay?"
They were standing on the deck. The salty and damp sea breeze blew at her in all directions. The cold seeped into her clothes and chilled her to the bones.
Ke arrived in B City on the second day. Chuan wanted to come too but was unable to leave. Thus, Ke traveled alone.
Ke was worried as she looked at Ziyue's dazed eyes.
However, Ziyue said something she did not expect at all. "Sure."
"Mrs. Qin!" Ke was astounded that Ziyue was finally willing to go home.
Ziyue nodded and looked at the endless expanse of the ocean. "He's not in the sea because he is still alive."
No one can survive being in the ocean for seven days. Thus, it's pointless to continue searching here. Muchen must be alive. He and the other missing people have not fallen into the sea. I'm confident about this.
Ke frowned slightly upon hearing her.
After the incident, she and Chuan sent many people to search and investigate everywhere. Apart from the crash site, they also sent people to other places to investigate.
Unfortunately, they could not find anything about Muchen.
For the first three days, Ke still believed Muchen survived.
However, it was now the seventh day. The people they sent out could not find anything useful. It meant… Muchen was likely dead.
