"Nannan, calm down! It's no use even if you go out there! Your Fan is already dead, so even if you go out there, do you think he will come back to life? What you have to do now is to get well and live on!" Kong Hui shouted at Chen Nan loudly inside the room.
The news of the Emperor sinking had already hit the news in Japan the night before.
The Princess was still in Japanese waters, so they had received the news too.
In fact, the cruise had sent out lifeboats to help with the rescue mission.
But they were all too late.
By the time the rescue team got there, they couldn't find anything else but debris.
They couldn't even find a body that hadn't been blown to pieces.
The few hundred passengers on that cruise had perished in the ocean along with the cruise itself.
But even so, Japan was still continuing on its rescue mission.
They knew that nobody could possibly survive that sort of attack, but they still had to look like they were trying.
"That's right, Nannan. Even if you go there now, you won't be of any help. The Japanese government has already sent out rescue teams to look for survivors. If your boyfriend is still alive, they'll save him. What you need to do now is to return to China first and wait for his news," Professor An consoled Chen Nan.
But Professor An knew well that the chances of Ye Fan surviving was probably close to zero.
The entire cruise had sunk, so how many of its passengers could possibly still be alive now?
He had said those things just to console Chen Nan.
After a long time of consoling and persuasion, Chen Nan finally calmed down.
She stopped clamoring to look for Ye Fan and just sat in a corner all by herself as she quietly stared at the things that Ye Fan gave to her before he died.
"Oh dear. The poor child." Professor An and his two other students felt bad for her when they saw her in this state.
Life was as unpredictable as the weather.
Nobody would have expected that this young man who was basking in glory and respected by everyone just a day ago would suddenly lose his life overnight.
Even though the three of them had some conflict with Ye Fan before this, they still felt sad about his passing.
"Nobody knows whether tomorrow will come first or an accident will come first."
HUUU...
The sea breeze was still gusting outside the cruise.
Chen Nan and the rest remained in the cruise that was headed for China.
At this time, news of exactly what had happened to the Emperor had not reached the rest of the world yet, and was still circulating within a small group of people.
Over at Zhonghai in China.
An old man was still waiting at the port as he excitedly anticipated and waited for his son to return.
Over in Yunzhou, Qiu Mu-Cheng had also taken leave from the company to prepare for the birthday party happening the next day.
The sun rose as usual and the birds continued to chirp.
But neither of them knew that right now, the young man named Ye Fan might have already left this world.
One day passed very quickly.
The next day, Chu Zheng-Hong left the hotel even before the sun had risen.
According to schedule, the Emperor was supposed to reach Zhonghai's port in the morning.
"Gosh, Master, don't be in such a hurry. It's only 5AM now, and Young Master's cruise will only arrive after 9AM. Even if you're anxious to meet your son, surely you have to eat breakfast first, right?" Han had just climbed out of bed and even put his shoes on wrongly because he was trying to run after Chu Zheng-Hong.
