Chapter Thirty-Seven: Desperate Miss Xiao

The sky was already bright, and after a night of hustle and bustle, Victoria Harbour finally ushered in a brief moment of tranquility. However, this tranquility did not last long and was soon broken by the coming and going of boats and tourists.

Last night's accident was handled efficiently by the government, and now there is no trace of it, and the port is quickly back to a busy scene, as if nothing happened here yesterday. Only in the café and café near the harbor beach, some people who came for breakfast early in the morning were talking about the accident that happened last night.

Kang Guoming, the owner of a tea restaurant closest to the sea area where the accident occurred, came to the restaurant early this morning, and after boiling today's black tea and steaming a few baskets of dim sum, he sat behind the bar and listened to the guests who came to have morning tea talk about the accident that happened last night.

"Hey, you know what? I've heard that there were more than a dozen corpses that were fished out last night, not counting the missing and unfounded. A retired old man said mysteriously to the person next to him.

"I've heard that, but the police only know how many tickets were sold, but it's not very clear how many people were actually on that boat last night. However, looking at the way the police searched for it last night, there should be several people who have not been found. ”

"Is there any news on the internet?"

"It's all all kinds of sayings, all kinds of things are going on, and there is no useful news. ”

"You don't know. Boss Kang leaned over and said triumphantly, as if showing off the secret truth he had obtained, "I heard that the eldest lady of the Shaw Group was on that boat last night, and there was her fiancé on it. As a result, Miss Xiao was fine, but her fiancé was missing, and even the body could not be found. Otherwise, you think those cops would work so hard to search and rescue all night?"

"Oh, the eldest lady of the Shaw Group is actually on the boat, what are you kidding, their kind of rich people come and go as private yachts, how can they take such an ordinary pleasure boat like us?" said one of them, shaking his head.

"If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I heard that someone saw the eldest lady of the Xiao family rescued from the cruise ship last night, and then stood on the shore all night. Boss Kang said.

"Is this true? This is big news, Boss Kang, you can sit down and tell us. The other hurriedly pulled Boss Kang to sit down.

"Hehe, I also knew that Miss Xiao and her fiancé were playing on the Hong Kong Island Star, but her fiancé was never found after falling into the water, God knows where he was washed by the sea, what a pity!"

"No, how did I hear that Miss Xiao doesn't have a boyfriend yet, so how can she have a fiancé?" questioned a middle-aged man reading a newspaper with glasses next to him.

When Boss Kang heard the news that someone questioned him, he couldn't help but be full of displeasure: "Who can tell the story of those wealthy families? Didn't the second son of the Yang family suddenly break the news that he had been secretly married to a female star for many years last year?"

"Well, what Boss Kang said is also right, the affairs of these wealthy families are not as simple as we see. The middle-aged man with glasses said, but he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help but want to laugh three times, it seems that he came here early in the morning to find out the news.

As an entertainment reporter, commonly known as the paparazzi, he has never made any achievements, but he didn't expect to find such exciting news in this small restaurant today.

Yes, after I went back, I immediately published an article to break the news, and the title of the article was "Miss Xiao's dating disaster, and the life and death of her fiancé are uncertain!", and after this article caused a sensation, follow-up reports can also be continuously launched, such as "Miss Xiao's fiancé's doxxing", "An excellent woman's view of love: Miss Xiao's love history is revealed" and so on...... Are you afraid that it won't be popular when the time comes?

What? Is this news true? It doesn't matter if all the news is published after it has been completely accurate, it will have been preempted by other newspapers long ago, and how can it survive in the media circles? Let alone be named!

Just as the bespectacled entertainment reporter was about to go back to writing the manuscript in high spirits, the protagonist of his story, Miss Xiao, was sitting in a luxury car by the dock at this time, with a tired face and a coat draped over her shoulders, and she had not slept all night.

Xiao Rubing couldn't forgive herself in her heart, and what worried her even more was her father's reaction. In his later years, the father finally found his long-lost biological son, but he immediately faced life and death. I really don't know how sad my father will be when he finds out all this.

The golden rescue period has passed, and Xiao Yu's hope of survival is extremely slim, and even the police station has ignored her strong request and given up the search and rescue. Everyone knew that continuing the search and rescue would be meaningless except for wasting police and financial resources, and that it might be a few days before the bodies of the waves were found on some beach.

Su Qing leaned on Xiao Rubing's side, after a night of worrying and waiting, at this moment she finally couldn't stay tired and leaned on Xiao Rubing's body and fell asleep.

The Xiao family and the police had already used all possible forces, and Su Qing couldn't do anything but wait anxiously for news on the sidelines. Although she and Xiao Yu have not known each other for too long, after a few months of getting along day and night, the two have already become good friends who talk about everything, not to mention that Su Qing knows Xiao Yu's biggest secret, which is full of magical identity. Although they live under the same roof, they maintain the purest friendship between men and women.

Is there a trace of ambiguity in my heart? Su Qing asked herself in her sleep, her long eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly. Why is he so sad when he dies? His heart seems to have lost his backbone all of a sudden, and it has become empty?

Xiao Rubing glanced at Su Qing, who was sleeping next to her, and felt a deep apology in her heart. It's all my fault, and it's my failure to protect you.

The car window was knocked lightly a few times, Xiao Rubing woke up from his contemplation, rolled down the window, and Ah Zhong, who was guarding outside, reported softly: "Miss, the lord invites you to go to the Repulse Bay Villa." ”

"Got it. Xiao Rubing agreed tiredly, thinking that what should come will always come. looked at Su Qing who was sleeping soundly on the side, sighed, took off his coat and gently covered Su Qing's body, gently opened the car door, and walked out.

"Wait here, don't wake up Miss Su. When she wakes up, send her back to the hotel to rest, and I'll look for her at night. Xiao Rubing explained to a few bodyguards outside, then got into another car and drove to the shallow water villa with Ah Zhong.

……

Xiao Tengfei's holiday villa in Repulse Bay, Xiao Rubing has not been here before, but he has never been as nervous as he is today. When he came to the gate of the villa, Xiao Rubing felt that his legs were as if they were filled with lead.

The surroundings of the villa are still as quiet as ever, and the sun shines through the tall locust tree at the door, reflecting specks on the ground. But Xiao Rubing's heart was completely calm as before, and it was the first time that she felt that this sunshine was not comfortable at all.

She has always been a good girl in the eyes of her father, and she is also a strong woman who single-handedly took the lead in the company after her father retired from the second line. She always gives the impression of being so shrewd and capable, like a fish in water in the mall, helping her father keep the group company in order.

However, this time the incident was too important, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it carried all the expectations of my father for the group and the family, but something happened to me in my own hands.

Although it was an accident and he had tried his best to save it, Xiao Rubing couldn't convince himself after all, and he couldn't face his father. Xiao Rubing didn't know, after walking into the door of this villa for a while, what could she say to her father?

Ah Zhong stepped forward to open the door, stood aside, and called softly: "Miss!"

"Oh. Xiao Rubing came back to her senses, gathered her mind, took a deep breath, and walked into the villa with her legs raised.

Xiao Tengfei did not splash ink in the study this time, but leaned on the sofa in the living room to close his eyes and recuperate, his face was full of exhaustion, as if he had aged a lot overnight. Sun Zhenbang stood aside with his hands down, and when he saw Xiao Rubing coming in, he forced out a smile: "Rubing is here!"

Xiao Rubing nodded at Sun Zhenbang, walked behind his father lightly, put a pair of soft flowers on his father's shoulders, and gently massaged them.

"Are you here?" Xiao Tengfei opened his eyes, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that he was startled.

"Well, Dad, I'm sorry. Xiao Rubing said softly, and the two eye circles turned red all of a sudden. She didn't know what else to say other than to say sorry.

"Daddy doesn't blame you. Xiao Tengfei sighed, "I thought about it all night, maybe this is the will of heaven." God doesn't want me to pull this game back. Anyway, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. I'm tired, I'm going to retire completely, and they'll fight for that seat. It's just that I pity Xiao Yu's child...... If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been involved in these things, let alone died in such an unexplained way. ”

"What is that position compared to family affection? My brother has been separated from us since childhood, and now he has finally been recovered, and we have not had time to recognize him, but this happened...... He didn't have time to know his true identity, and he didn't enjoy a day's happiness, I really feel sorry for him......" Xiao Rubing said, and couldn't help but sob.

"Child, I didn't plan to tell you this secret for the time being, but since something like this happened, I don't want to see you too sad, I think I'd better tell you the truth!" Xiao Tengfei sighed, patted the back of Xiao Rubing's hand lightly and said, "Actually, Xiao Yu is not your own brother. ”
