Chapter 41: Untitled

Plop. A woman’s scream pierced through the vast area. Song Ran turned around at once using her natural reflexes. Team Leader Gu’s cheeky plan fell through. He felt terrible but, nevertheless, also quickly turned his head in the direction in which Song Ran was looking at.

On the shore not too far away, a young woman was seen sobbing loudly. “My son... My son has fallen in. I... I... I can’t swim.”

In the river, a little boy was seen struggling to stay afloat. However, he was drifting further and further away from the shore...

Before Song Ran could react, she heard another plop. The boat swayed and Gu Jinghang jumped into the river. Song Ran felt her heart drop. She shouted worriedly from the boat, “Hey, Gu Jinghang. You, you, you... What are you doing?”

She did not want him to be in any danger. Other people’s lives did not matter to her. Not at all. Gu Jinghang could not be harmed in any way. She did not want him to be a hero out of recklessness. If anything were to happen to him, what would she do?

While swimming, Gu Jinghang instructed, “Ran, stay on the boat. It’s safer. And don’t move around.”

Song Ran was panic-stricken and she had tears in her eyes as she said, “Why didn’t you discuss it with me before jumping into the water?”

Gu Jinghang could not be bothered about other things as he just wanted to get to the boy as quickly as possible. He stretched his hand and grabbed the boy by his neck. As the boy involuntarily swallowed more water, he grew flustered so he started struggling even more. He dragged Gu Jinghang down and they both sank lower into the depths of the water with their heads fully submerged.

Song Ran quickly went to the driver’s seat. She flew at the speed she was pedaling and she could feel her heart in her mouth.

Gu Jinghang was aware that when someone was drowning, they could present a grave situation. Even a child as young as ten years old would be able to drag an adult like him deeper into the water. Gu Jinghang held the child’s neck with one hand and grabbed his struggling hands with the other.

The river was about two meters deep. Gu Jinghang was dragged by the boy to the base of the river, who was still desperately kicking his legs. He did not bring the boy afloat from the water, but instead, he walked on the soft soil and took one step at a time towards the shore.

He heard Song Ran’s blurry voice from not too far away. “Jinghang, Gu Jinghang, please don’t scare me. Come up quickly... Please come up quickly.”

Gu Jinghang was also very anxious as he silently prayed. Ran, please stay on the boat. Don’t worry, don’t worry...

The little boy was so terrified that he used all his strength to escape from Gu Jinghang’s grip. Gu Jinghang was tired. Maybe he should have hit him unconscious before saving him.

He used much of his effort to try and suppress the struggling boy. Fortunately, because the boy had been holding his breath for so long, his strength was diminishing. Gu Jinghang held his breath while taking step after step out of the water towards the shore.

Song Ran had finally pedaled the swan boat over. The surface of the river had no movements at all. She was flustered and her heart almost seemed to stop beating.

“Jinghang... Jinghang.... Please don’t frighten me. Come back up.”

Her voice broke into a sob. Gu Jinghang who heard her from inside the river started to panic. The child in his hands had already fainted from the lack of oxygen. He could vaguely see the moving surface of the river and the muddy shore.

Whoosh. Finally, Gu Jinghang came out of the water with the child in tow. Song Ran heaved a sigh of relief.

She was impatient as she tried to jump onshore from the boat. When Gu Jinghang saw that, his heart skipped a beat as he stopped her. “Ran, it’s two meters away. You can’t reach the shore. Wait for a moment. Wait for me.”
