Chapter 276 — More Ominous Than Auspicious? "Heh... You Must Be Hungry..." Wei Zhao Smiled. Only the Rich Could Afford Shark Fin. Faced With Delicacies Every Day, Who Could Still Stomach Plain Meat? And Shen Yushu Only Found It Tasty Because She Was Starving. Otherwise, on an Ordinary Day, Shark Meat Could Never Compare in Tenderness to Common Table Fish Like Carp and Crucian Carp.

"Little Song, what is it? Is something the matter? I am in a meeting in the province." Yang Huaijun answered Song Lingshan's call and asked.
"Hm? Director Yang, you are not at headquarters?" Song Lingshan was taken aback. She had not expected Yang Huaijun to be away today. "You have not heard about the amusement park?"
"What happened at the amusement park?" Yang Huaijun truly did not know what had happened at the amusement park. During the earlier session, his phone had been switched off. Now, with the meeting in recess, he had turned it on to see if any urgent messages had come from his subordinates. He had powered it on not long before Song Lingshan's call came in.
"Shen Yushu, and your friend Wei Zhao, when they were bungee jumping, the cord suddenly snapped, and the two fell into the sea together..." Song Lingshan reported. "We have already asked the coast guard to help search one kilometer of sea, but they found no trace of them. The coast guard is asking me whether to widen the search, or... But in my own view, with the two tied together by the bungee cord, fallen into the sea, even if they could swim, I fear it is more ominous than auspicious..."
"More ominous than auspicious?" Yang Huaijun repeated the four words with a strange air, as if he hardly knew whether to laugh or what to say.
Earlier, upon hearing Shen Yushu's name, Yang Huaijun had felt an instinctive jolt. If anything happened to Chen Yutian's little sister, it would be no small matter! But then, hearing that Shen Yushu had fallen into the sea together with Wei Zhao, his heart settled straight back into his stomach. In a situation like that, even he himself could not have died, let alone Wei Zhao! With Wei Zhao there, Shen Yushu would surely be safe and sound, and Song Lingshan was simply worrying far too much.
"Yes, they have not been found within a one-kilometer radius. Either they have been carried farther away by the sea, or they have already sunk to the bottom!" Song Lingshan said. "In either case, there is no hope they survived."
"Little Song, you can have the coast guard stand down." Yang Huaijun said.
"Oh? Director Yang, you mean we should give up the search?" Although Song Lingshan herself thought the same in her heart, with Shen Yushu involved, she truly felt the headache coming on!
Although she did not think much of Shen Yushu's brother Chen Yutian, work and private life were two entirely different matters.
"Give up? Who said anything about giving up?" Yang Huaijun said with a smile.
"But Director Yang, did you not just tell the coast guard to stand down?" Song Lingshan was taken aback.
"Telling the coast guard to stand down does not mean abandoning the search!" Yang Huaijun said. "I never told you to stand down!"
"But we..." Song Lingshan did not quite follow Yang Huaijun's meaning. "If even the coast guard cannot find them, how are we supposed to search?"
"Who told you to search the sea? Have your men find a few speedboats and look along the nearby coastline. Perhaps you will find them." Yang Huaijun pointed her to a shortcut.
"The coastline? Director Yang, do you mean we should look for bodies washed ashore?" Song Lingshan could by no means believe that, under such circumstances, the two could have survived.
