Jin Mubai had always been an outstanding child in the eyes of adults. He grew up with praises, so he did not take Su Man's praise to heart and only smiled politely. However, when he heard her friend's words, he asked in confusion, "Who did you just say jumped in?"
At this moment, he shifted his gaze to the bottom of the bridge. Many people were gathered around the river, cheering for someone.
Su Man internally chided that student for being talkative and not being as observant as Wang Xiaojing. She pulled on Jin Mubai's sleeve and said, "It's my sister. She just jumped in.
"I wanted to save the child too, but I'm not good in the water... The doctor said I can't catch a cold, so I called you and asked you to come over to help save the child. But who knew that my sister would jump in first?"
Jin Mubai was stunned for a moment before he reacted and asked, "You mean, Su Yu jumped in to save the child?"
Su Man nodded and pretended to be worried. "But I never knew my sister could swim..." the current was so strong. If the waves were a little bigger, she might drown. Then, she wouldn't have to see Su Yu in Feng City First High School anymore.
Su Yu was almost at the shore and thankfully, the crowd who had gathered by the riverbed were not afraid of getting their shoes wet as they stepped into the water, reaching out to her. Finally, they brought the unconscious child and the close-to-exhaustion Su Yu to shore. Before she could catch her breath, she noticed that the child's face was blue and purple, as if he had choked on water. She couldn't care less about her sorry state. She crawled to the child's side, then forced herself up and hurriedly performed CPR.
"He's finally been rescued!" The onlookers cheered.
Jin Mubai looked from afar and asked in a low voice, "Why don't we go over and take a look?"
Su Man didn't want to spend too much time with her, but she couldn't make it obvious, so she reluctantly said, "Mmm, okay. I wonder how Sister is doing. Brother Mubai, let's go and take a look. Maybe we can help..."
Not far away, a Maybach was speeding through the traffic in their direction.
"Master Pei, Old Mster Pei just called to ask me why the little young master didn't pick up his call."
The little young master of the Pei family was the apple of their eyes. Even Pei Jinyu doted on him a lot. If it wasn't for his treatment, Old Master Pei wouldn't have let him leave Yu City. Who knew that the person who took care of the little young master would be so irresponsible to lose sight of him...
Pei Jinyu's face was cold. He had not slept for two days and his energy level was at its limit. However, his brain was filled with anger now. His head was splitting and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked extremely vicious as if he was going to kill someone in the next second.
"Tell him that Pei Xichen is taking an afternoon nap and to call him when he wakes up," said Pei Jinyu coldly.
"I understand, Master Pei."
As soon as the call ended, Pei Jinyu's Bluetooth earphones rang again. With one hand on the steering wheel, he answered the call with the other. "Hello, have you found the exact location?"
"I found it," said Bai Ziteng. But he didn't know how to utter his next words. He stammered, "Shiyu, there's something I need to tell you. Don't get too agitated."
When Pei Jinyu heard this, he frowned and his eyes turned red. "Speak!"
When Bai Ziteng heard that, he knew that Pei Jinyu wasn't in a good state. He said helplessly, "He's at Fengyin Road. I've checked the surveillance camera there and it shows Chenchen falling into the river while he was trying to pick something up. It's been a few minutes since he fell in and is now washed to a place where there are no surveillance cameras, so we don't know what the exact situation is... Don't be too anxious. I've already called the fire department. They've sent people over. I'll be there soon..."
Upon hearing this, the Maybach stopped abruptly and almost hit the green belt.
Pei Jinyu's eyes turned black and his breathing became rapid. It was as if someone was strangling his neck and he was a little breathless. His cousin's last words resounded in his mind, a final wish for him to take good care of Pei Xichen, but now...
After a while, he finally calmed down a little. Then, he stepped on the gas pedal and rushed directly to the scene of the incident.
...
By the river.
"Look at that child's face. It's all purple. I'm afraid he can't be saved."
"How pitiful. He looks like he's only five or six years old. If he were to lose his life at such a young age, how are his parents going to live?"
"Why isn't the ambulance here yet?"
"I've already called, but there's a section of the road ahead that's under traffic control. They won't be able to get here in a short time..."
"I've also asked, they're stuck on that road."
