Chapter 114: My People Play However You Want 41_1

Baili Xia splashed about in the water, barely breaking the surface.

With the swell of a wave, she was quickly submerged again.

Her swimming skills weren’t exceptional, but she had dared to venture into the water because they had assured her there were trained lifeguards around.

But now, an assassin was in the sea, someone had been injured and bled, and the lifeguards were too busy trying to escape themselves.

Who would look after her?

Now, having lost her float ring, even staying afloat was difficult, let alone swimming through the chaos back to the cruise ship.

Baili Xia was panicking to the point that, without thinking, she wanted to call out for Uncle.

But Uncle had disappeared after falling into the sea.

Where was he now?

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands landed on her waist, forcefully pulling her up.

Baili Xia was terrified, she didn’t get a chance to see who was holding her before she instinctively slapped them away.

Just as they surfaced, there was a loud smack, a heavy slap landing on an extraordinarily handsome face.

One slap wasn’t enough for Baili Xia, she stroked her own face while babbling on.

As her slaps and punches rained down on the man’s face and head, she tried to push him away.

In the chaos, a deep voice laced with a hint of anger rang out coldly, “You dare to hit me.

You’ve got guts.”

All at once, Baili Xia stopped moving.

Wiping her face again, she finally opened her eyes.

Seeing the face in front of her, she was terrified.

Uncle!

It was actually Uncle!

After the initial shock, she was oddly moved.

He wasn’t trying to harm her, he was trying to lift her up from the water.

She had already choked on seawater several times.

Now her throat was salty and bitter, unbearably uncomfortable.

She truly thought someone was trying to hurt her, she never imagined it would be Uncle.

Her hand was less than a finger’s length away from his face, ready to slap him, but fortunately, he spoke first.

Although Uncle’s skin was thick and her slap did not seem to leave any visible marks.

But just now, she was slapping and punching him all over his face.

Baili Xia was well aware of this.

The thought scared her so much that she felt weak all over.

“Un…Uncle, why is it you?”

“Who else did you think it would be?” Mu Xiaojiu glanced at her irritably.

He was rescuing her, and instead of being grateful, not only she didn’t thank him but she also slapped and punched him.

Since he was born, nobody had dared to be so disrespectful to him, let alone lay their hands on him.

She had slapped his face loudly.

If it was anyone else at this point, would they still have a chance to talk?

Striking him?

This young lady, he would remember this debt!

When he had a chance, he would punish her severely until she begged for mercy!

Baili Xia could already anticipate her tragic fate from the slight hint of anger rising in his eyes.

But, admittedly, she was wrong just now, Uncle was trying to save her, and she had mistaken him for an enemy.

Now, she could feel she didn’t have any strength left in her.

She reached up and hooked her hand around his neck, fearing he would throw her back into the sea.

“Uncle, Uncle, I didn’t do it on purpose, I thought it was the enemy, I truly thought it was a bad person.

Just now…

Just now they saw …

”

Suddenly, Uncle tightened his grip on her waist.

Before she could finish her sentence, he had already pushed her away!
