Fang Shen and Su Qingru managed to survive in the explosion.
Why did Fang Shen save Su Qingru? The reason was quite simple as only Su Qingru had the energy to turn on his eye skill. Therefore, he had to protect her and continued to search for other energy sources.
The location of the explosion was not far from the shore. There were numerous people standing on the shore, including policemen, journalists and onlookers. When they were expecting the boat to come alongside, it exploded violently.
Everyone was dumbstruck. Those who knew Su Qingru was on the boat cried bitterness without ceasing as they somehow knew Su Qingru's status. Su Qingru was only thirty, but she was a vice mayor. In the State of Huaxia, if she hadn't a strong background, she would not be a vice mayor no matter how capable she was.
When people on the shore were dumbfounded, two people swum to the shore.
Some sharp-eyed people immediately yelled surprisingly, "Mayor Su?" People cheerfully crowded around Su Qingru. To them, it didn't matter how many ordinary people on the boat were killed in the explosion. As long as Su Qingru was safe, they would keep their official posts. Journalists held their cameras to shoot them from various angles.
At this moment, Fang Shen still held Su Qingru in his arms. It was not because he was driven by passion, but because he wanted to absorb the precious energy as much as possible.
"Put me down!" Su Qingru stared at Fang Shen coldly, just like the first time Fang Shen held her in the water. But she was not that annoyed now, and didn't slap him.
Fang Shen immediately put Su Qingru down and thought to himself, 'What a pity! Once onshore, it will be extremely hard for him to hold Su Qingru in arms.'
"What's your name?" Su Qingru signaled those people that came around to stop and turned to Fang Shen.
"Fang Shen."
Su Qingru smoothed her wet hair back from her face and asked, "What do you do?"
Fang Shen answered honestly, "I'm a peasant."
Su Qingru nodded, "Your village was flooded and not able to be reconstructed in a short time. What are you going to do?" Actually, Su Qingru planned to recruit Fang Shen as he had shown great capabilities within half of the day.
But Fang Shen didn't realize her intention; even he did, he won't accept her offer. After all, he liked freedom. He didn't want to serve as the bodyguard as someone else, even the boss was a beautiful female mayor.
Fang Shen thought for a while and answered seriously, "I want to go to the city and sell the herbs. I have to pay the tuition fee for my younger sister."
Su Qingru grinned as Fang Shen was too honest. She said, "Your herbs are indeed amazing. But I think you sack has been left on the boat." She looked back and found that rescuers had boarded the boat. The wounded had been carried out one by one. But Wu Qiang and Li Li were killed for sure. Su Qingru felt sorry for them, but just a little.
Fang Shen smiled and took the sack from behind, "I grabbed my sack when I jumped into the water."
Su Qingru shook her head with profound resignation, "You are a real miser." She rolled her eyes and had an idea. She borrowed a pen and paper from people next to her and wrote an address, "Your herbs are magical. You can sell them here." She gave him the paper and a chain bracelet.
Fang Shen took over the paper on which was written "Ye Xiaobei, general manager of Qianjin Pharmaceutical Group." Fang Shen expressed his thanks to Su Qingru. It must be a large company as it was recommended by Mayor Su.
Su Qingru was afraid that Fang Shen would be looked down upon, so she gave it to him the chain bracelet as a token. Fang Shen felt grateful for her and knew why she did this. After all, he had saved her for three times. Actually, Fang Shen didn't suffer. Instead, he took huge advantages of her. But he couldn't tell her the truth.
"Well, a lot of things happened today. I have to deal with them." Su Qingru rubbed her temples as she felt a heartache, "See you next time."
Seeing Su Qingru's receding figure, Fang Shen felt a little lonely. But he immediately cheered up, and walked to the town with his sack.
