I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

"..."

Cai Yi stared in disbelief at Xiao Baihua, who was completely different from before. Had she been overstimulated?

Mu Bai stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Baihua.

Xiao Baihua calmed down, sat down next to him, and then suddenly stood up, hugged Caiyi, and burst into tears.

Caiyi patted her and comforted her, saying, "Why are you crying? Didn't we make contact with the outside world? We'll be out soon."

Xiao Baihua sobbed silently, and Cai Yi didn't say much either, just patting her back to comfort her.

The others watching couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, and they gently wiped away their tears.

Bei An'an started crying again.

Zhang Ye: "..."

Women cry over the smallest things, it's so annoying.

Despite thinking this, Zhang Ye let Bei An'an hold him and cry without stopping her.

Mo Huai and Ming Ya were relatively stable in their emotions compared to the others.

An Ruosu and Wen Yu were probably stunned by the beating, and didn't react at all.

Xiao Shen remained as quiet as ever.

"After crying and making a scene, calm down."

"During this period, we need to find some warm and flammable materials."

Mu Bai calmly gave the orders: they couldn't just wait around these days. The sea level was rising continuously, and if they didn't take some first aid and warmth measures, they might die before they could receive emergency treatment.

Luo Xiaoxiao and He Che were a group with strong initiative, unlike Cai Yi and the others. The two had already started to go up to the higher parts of the island to collect dry branches and some leaves.

The two did not move the branches and leaves to their temporary settlement. Mu Bai said that the sea level was rising and they had to move to another place, as this place would be submerged in less than two days.

One thing Mu Bai didn't mention was that as the sea level rises, the island will experience a certain degree of collapse.

Although the sea is calm now, the ocean is unpredictable, and there is an island deep in the ocean.

Mu Bai didn't think the island wouldn't be hit by the waves, especially since it was currently covered by seawater.

Just in case, she used tree branches and the clothes provided by the others to weave a thick hemp rope.

Fortunately, these guests were of relatively high quality; they weren't the type to act crazy or shout, so everyone worked together quite quickly.

There's nothing else they can do now; they've done everything they could. They can only wait for help from their family.

……

Xu Qingming looked at the weather forecast, his brow furrowed. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Linhai City will experience stormy weather for the next five days, with the deep blue sea even showing signs of waterspouting.

The coastal entrance to Linhai City is closed to traffic.

Xu Qingming could force people to go to sea, but storms at sea are beyond human control.

He gave the order, and those men were going to their deaths.

He couldn't knowingly do something impossible; he couldn't just consider rescuing the financially vulnerable, he also needed to consider the people who would go to rescue them.

Xu Qingming's slender, white fingers tapped lightly on the table. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his deep, dark eyes held a thoughtful expression as he pondered something.

Why was it Xiao Baihua who contacted him, and not Mu Bai? Why wasn't Mu Bai even involved in the financial aspect?

Is there a reason for this?

Compared to Cai Yi and Xiao Baihua, Mu Bai's background makes her more suited to maintaining contact with her family, even though Cai Yi and Xiao Baihua do have a higher social standing than Mu Bai.

However, it must be said that their experience is too shallow, far inferior to Mu Bai's.

The only person who could get Xiao Baihua to contact him is Cai Yi, because Mu Bai is not familiar with Xiao Baihua, and Cai Yi is family. Trust is important in the military, so if Cai Yi is assertive, Mu Bai will not stop her and will agree to let Xiao Baihua contact him.

But... under what circumstances must Xiao Baihua contact him?

The sinking of the island is part of Shen He's story, but they just happened to encounter it.

Xu Qingming never believed in such a coincidence.

When the story's plot deviates from its intended course, it will inevitably be corrected. And who is responsible for this correction? It seems that, apart from the will of this world, there is no one else.

Xiao Baihua must have contacted him at sea, because if it were the director, it wouldn't be Xiao Baihua.

At that time, there should have been two other people with Xiao Baihua, Wen Yu and Xiang Xiang, who are the protagonists of the current chapter of the story.

Xu Qingming rubbed his temples. Relying entirely on calculations and guesses was making him a little confused, but he did know who to ask for help.

Xiao Baihua is the main character, and Wen Yu and Xiang Xiang are also main characters. If three main characters are not enough, then how about adding two more?

After thinking it over, Xu Qingming didn't hesitate for long and went directly to the Su Group. He went as a member of the Xu family. The receptionist made a phone call, and he was able to get to the CEO's office without any hindrance.

After Su Yuqian finished reviewing the documents in his hand and put them aside, he looked up at Xu Qingming.

The man had a gentle and refined appearance, exuding an air of dignified elegance and aloofness that made it impossible to associate him with the position of the head of the Xu family.

After all, he didn't seem like someone who would be tainted by worldly affairs.

Su Yuqian thought that if he hadn't met the head of the Xu family, he probably wouldn't have believed that the man in front of him was Xu Qingming.

"No one visits a temple without a reason. I wonder what Xu Qingming has come for?"

Su Yuqian: "Master Xu, who is rarely seen, what brings you here to visit me today?"

He got up and walked to the guest table, where he skillfully brewed tea. His tea ceremony was excellent and a pleasure to watch.

Su Yuqian pushed a cup of tea to the guest seat.

Xu Qingming stepped forward, sat down properly, took a sip of tea, and praised, "Patriarch Su, your tea skills are extraordinary. I admire you."

"I was just in a hurry and didn't have time to savor it slowly, please forgive me."

Su Yuqian took a leisurely sip, raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "What's making you in such a hurry, Patriarch Xu, that you can't even have time for a cup of tea?"

Xu Qingming showed no embarrassment and said frankly, "I want you and your wife to help me rescue a group of people."

Su Yuqian: "I'm a businessman, I don't do business at a loss."

Su Yuqian knew he was anxious, so he didn't keep him in suspense and directly made his request.

Xu Qingming handed the documents he had prepared earlier to Su Yuqian and smiled, "This is my sincerity."

Su Yuqian glanced at it; the sincerity was evident. The Xu family was giving up half of this year's profits to the Su Group. Logically, he had no reason to disagree. However, he couldn't ignore what Xu Qingming had just said.

Why did you bring my wife along?

Su Yuqian was very concerned about those words. How could he need Yao Yao's help to save someone? Yao Yao's skills were only good at slapping him, not saving people.

Xu Qingming: "It's a secret, but I can guarantee your wife's absolute safety."

Even if the world's will wanted to kill the five main characters who were in the know, it would have to think twice.

Su Yuqian was still hesitant, but he was indeed moved by this sincerity. He pondered for a moment and said.

"Tell me what happened first."
