198: Chapter 198 Finding An Xiaoxi”It’s so icy, so cold...” An Xiaoxi woke up with a start from her slumber. It was pitch dark all around her, and the cold swept over every inch of her skin like a tide.

She shivered, her hands fumbling in the darkness, trying to find a sliver of light or anything she could hold onto.

Her fingers touched the icy floor; it felt as if she were trapped inside a giant freezer.

An Xiaoxi didn’t stop to think about why she woke up here. All she wanted was to find a way out quickly.

Her heart raced. She forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and slowly began to move her feet, tentatively walking forward.

Her hand brushed against a cold wall, so cold it almost made her snatch her hand back, but she gritted her teeth and continued tracing along the wall.

Finally, her fingers touched a solid door.

”This must be the exit,” An Xiaoxi thought, a sliver of hope igniting in her heart.

She pushed the door with all her might, but it didn’t budge, as if it were firmly jammed by something.

”Is anyone there? Come and save me!” An Xiaoxi cried out anxiously, her voice echoing in the cold air, but there was no response.

She felt a wave of despair.

”Is anyone there? Come and save me!” She continued beating against the door.

Outside was dead silent, only the whistling of the cold air, as if time itself had frozen.

She squatted down, curling herself into a ball as tightly as possible, trying to ward off the biting cold and preserve the last bit of warmth inside her body.

Her fingers fumbled inside her small handbag, and she felt a moment of relief—thankfully, her phone was still there.

She carefully took out her phone, and the faint glow of the screen seemed exceptionally precious in the darkness.

Her fingers trembled incessantly. It took her a great deal of effort to press the dial button.

Every ring from the other end sounded like a heavy hammer striking her heart.

Finally, the call connected. Almost crying, she shouted urgently and desperately, ”Help, Zhang Wei, come save me quickly! I can’t hold on much longer...”

Her voice echoed in the cold air, carrying endless anticipation and a faint glimmer of hope.

On the other end, Zhang Wei’s voice sounded a bit muffled, but his composure was still discernible.

”Little girl, calm down. What happened?”

”I don’t know! Come quickly, I’m in the freezer! Come save me quickly!” An Xiaoxi’s voice was almost a shriek; she felt every second was torture.

Due to unstable signal at sea, the call quickly dropped, leaving only the ’beep, beep, beep’ of the busy signal.

An Xiaoxi’s heart sank to the bottom, but she still clutched her phone tightly.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei on the other end anxiously repeated, ”The cold storage room.”

He hung up the phone and immediately summoned Lu Yuhan and Liu Haorui, running towards the direction of the cruise ship’s dining hall.

”Hurry, An Xiaoxi might be in there!” Zhang Wei shouted as he ran, his heart filled with worry and anxiety for An Xiaoxi.

They rushed through the dim corridor and finally arrived at the kitchen behind the dining hall.

In the kitchen, the chefs were busy preparing lunch.

Amidst flashes of knives, vegetables were chopped finely, and the sound of running water intertwined with the clanging of spatulas, composing a symphony of daily life.

An older chef wearing a tall hat, with sweat dripping from his forehead, urged them, ”Hurry up, it’s almost noon.”

Suddenly, the kitchen door was violently pushed open, and Zhang Wei and the others rushed in hastily.

”What are you doing?” The head chef turned around, his brow furrowed tightly, staring sharply at the people at the doorway.

”Where is the cold storage room?” Zhang Wei’s voice was urgent and firm.

”The cold storage room?” The head chef put down the knife in his hand and repeated the words doubtfully.

”Tell us quickly! Our friend might be locked in there!” Liu Haorui rushed forward, his eyes full of anxiety.

”It’s on the lower deck. Follow me,” the head chef replied concisely, then quickly led the group toward the cold storage room.

The door to the cold storage room slowly opened, and cold air rushed out.

Zhang Wei and Liu Haorui rushed in without hesitation.

The cold storage room was divided into several small compartments, and the group quickly split up to search.

Finally, in the compartment where the ice cream was stored, they found An Xiaoxi.

She was wearing a gauze dress with a light blue shawl draped over her, curled into a ball, her face pale, having already lost consciousness from the cold.

”An Xiaoxi, An Xiaoxi!” Zhang Wei called out softly, gently touching her forehead, his heart tightening.

He immediately took off his own coat and gently wrapped it around her trembling body.

Zhang Wei carefully picked up An Xiaoxi and carried her to the ship’s infirmary.

Not long after, An Xiaoxi lay on the crisp white hospital bed and slowly opened her eyes.

The faint smell of disinfectant permeated the room.

Zhang Wei, Lu Yuhan, and Liu Haorui were anxiously gathered by the bedside, their faces etched with worry.

Seeing An Xiaoxi’s eyelids flutter slightly, the three immediately held their breath, their gazes locked onto her.

Seeing this, the doctor quickly brought over a cup of hot water and tiptoed to the bedside.

”Little girl, wake up, drink some hot water,” the doctor said softly, his tone carrying a sense of comfort.

An Xiaoxi struggled to lift her head, her lips parting slightly.

She took the cup and began to sip the water slowly. The hot liquid slid down her throat, bringing a wave of pleasant warmth.

She let out a long sigh. Though her voice was weak, it carried a sense of relief from surviving a disaster: ”I’m finally alive.”

Lu Yuhan’s eyes were red, tear tracks still visible at the corners. She tightly held An Xiaoxi’s hand and asked with concern, ”Xiao Xi, it’s all my fault.

If I had gone back to the room with you, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Zhang Wei also leaned forward anxiously, his brow deeply furrowed: ”How did you end up in the cold storage room? What exactly happened?

Where were you attacked? Did you see who did it?”

An Xiaoxi struggled to recall that harrowing night, her brow furrowing slightly, her expression somewhat tense: ”I remember I was attacked right at the door of my guest room.

The lights in the hallway had already dimmed.

I was completely unprepared when someone suddenly hit my shoulder hard from behind with a club.

I immediately lost consciousness and don’t remember anything.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei’s face immediately turned grave. He pressed further, ”Did you see who it was? Did you get a clear look at their appearance?”

An Xiaoxi shook her head helplessly, her eyes filled with confusion and pain: ”I can’t remember clearly.

It happened too suddenly. I just felt a sharp pain, and then I lost consciousness; I didn’t know anything else.”

Zhang Wei’s brow furrowed even tighter. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”This is attempted murder; we must call the police and investigate this thoroughly.”

After speaking, he turned to the crew member standing nearby and said, ”Excuse me, please help us call the police. This matter is very serious.”

The crew member nodded solemnly, ”Alright, I’ll go right now.” With that, he hurried out of the infirmary.

After confirming that An Xiaoxi was out of danger, the doctor gently patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, ”The most important thing for you now is to rest well and recover your health.

Leave the rest to them to handle.”

An Xiaoxi nodded tiredly and slowly closed her eyes.

Zhang Wei, Lu Yuhan, and Liu Haorui exchanged glances.

Although many questions and worries remained in their hearts, they knew that the most important thing at this moment was to let An Xiaoxi rest peacefully.
