Su Jiu, who was standing nearby, agreed when she heard what he said. “That’s right, Miss Muzi. A person as resourceful as Mr. Ye would land on his feet.”
However, these comforting words did not have much of an effect on Han Muzi.
“You haven’t eaten anything for a long time right, Miss Muzi? Your complexion isn’t looking too good. Drink some warm water to wet your throat first; we’ll have lunch in a bit.”
Han Muzi had no appetite whatsoever. Even drinking water made her chest uncomfortable. Right now, she felt like a huge bubble of air was stuck in her chest. Unable to go up or down, it was just stuck there; it was very painful. She pursed her pale lips without saying anything.
Su Jiu glanced at Han Qing and pondered for a while. Then, she said, “Even if you don’t feel like eating, you must think of your body, Miss Muzi. Think about it… if you fall sick because you won’t eat or drink… How would you search for Mr. Ye?”
This sentence resonated within her. She lifted her head suddenly to look at Su Jiu. She’s right. If I collapse from lack of food and drink, how will I search for Ye Moxuan? No, I can’t go on like this. I need to eat to replenish my strength, then search for him. She lowered her head and quietly drank her water.
Watching her, Han Qing’s anxiety was slightly relieved. It’s fine like this. Let’s keep up with this farce. As long as her body is fine, everything else can be done slowly.
As the distance was not too far apart, the plane took approximately three hours to reach its destination. As they were getting off the plane, Han Muzi nearly fell forward from exhaustion. Luckily, she was quickly helped by Su Jiu, who was standing nearby. Han Qing promptly stepped forward. “Your body isn’t feeling well. I’ll walk with you.”
She was still wearing her wedding dress, so she attracted the attention of many people along the way. She pulled the suit she was wearing tighter around her, took a few deep breaths, then shook her head. “No need. I was sitting for too long and felt a bit dizzy. Qing, Secretary Su, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” I still have to find Ye Moxuan. Before I find him, I definitely cannot collapse.
“You’re sure you’re okay?” Han Qing asked while looking at her.
She nodded weakly. “I’m fine.” She held up the train of her dress as she walked. As the wedding dress was tailor-made, the train was especially long. It was very inconvenient to walk in. When they reached a spot without many people, she simply squatted down and tied the train of her dress in a knot around her calf. Then, she held it and continued walking; it was much more convenient this way.
The airport was quite far away from the accident site, so they had to take a car after they got off the plane. The transfer took over an hour. By the time they arrived, it was nighttime.
As an accident had occurred here, it should have been sealed off. However, it just so happened that the place was relatively remote, so the authorities couldn’t be bothered to block it off. When Han Qing brought the others to the accident site, they found that many of the officials were still carrying out rescue operations in the dark. When the officials noticed them, one of them called out, “The rapid currents here are very strong. You all better not get too close!”
He saw Han Muzi in a wedding dress and thought that they were here to take wedding photos. After all, young people nowadays seemed to like going to the beaches to lie on the sand or the rocks when taking their wedding photos. However, these actions… were very dangerous.
Therefore, he continued, “Even if you want to take pictures, do it during the day. We are carrying out rescue operations here. Moreover, you shouldn’t choose such a dangerous location to take photos. If you fall in, you could lose your life.”
Hearing his kind warning, Han Muzi’s eyes couldn’t help but redden. Her white skin, coupled with the shock from this incident, had made her complexion pale to the point of transparency. So, it was very obvious when her eyes reddened.
The surrounding lights happened to shine on her face. Then, the official realized that despite her wedding dress, she was in quite a sorry state—her makeup and hair were a mess—and not at all like a bride about to be photographed. Noticing this, the official took a proper look at the people around her and found that there was no cameraman. Could it be that I’ve misunderstood?
Su Jiu, who was standing nearby, saw that Han Muzi’s eyes had turned red. She stepped forward to show her identification card while explaining, “Hello. We are not here to take wedding photos. Our friend was on the plane that was involved in the accident, so…”
She let her sentence trail off; the other party probably already understood her meaning. Sure enough, he was stunned and his eyes fell back on Han Muzi. No wonder she’s in such a sorry state. Seems like the accident happened during their wedding, and they had rushed over without even changing out of the wedding dress.
“Don’t panic.” Han Qing held her hand and said with a low voice, “He may not be here.”
Han Muzi bit her lower lip. Her tears pooled around her eyes that were as red as could be. “Can I… go over to have a look?”
The official looked at her appearance—eyes red and filled with tears. She had asked the question chokingly, as if there were endless sorrow and pain in her heart, and he could not bear to turn her down. He could only nod his head. “Alright, I’ll bring you around. Follow me, but only a few can come.”
Han Qing looked back and gave an order to Su Jiu. “The rest of you wait here.”
Su Jiu replied instantly, “Yes, President Han.”
Han Qing accompanied Han Muzi as they followed after the official. There were many policemen, rescue teams, and professionals at the scene. When they saw the official bringing along a lady in a wedding dress and a man in a suit, they began questioning in dissatisfaction. “What’s going on? Although the location has not been sealed off, this is still no place for ordinary bystanders to enter.”
The official went up and whispered into the ears of the person who had spoken up. He furrowed his brows and said, “Even if your loved one was involved in this accident, you can’t just waltz in here. This beach area is not safe. Even the rescue team have to be extra cautious, what more you guys.” His words were undoubtedly like needles piercing into Han Muzi’s heart. Her face paled even more and her slim body looked like it was about to collapse in the dim light.
“We’ve successfully found a few survivors and sent them to the nearest hospital. Perhaps… you can go there and have a look,” the person added. Seeing Han Muzi like this, he probably felt bad in the end.
To the nearest hospital? She looked at the man almost beggingly. “Excuse me, my husband is around 1.85 meters tall. He was rushing to the wedding venue, so he should be wearing a wedding suit.”
Han Muzi seemed to realize something as she spoke and hurriedly took out her phone to show him a picture.
