Chapter 478: Hurry Up With the Rescue
Xia He splashed and shouted in the middle of the lake. Soon, she fell silent and Qian’e slowly swam towards the shore.
At this time of the day, no one took walks or played by the lake. When the He family’s subordinates saw “Qiao Mei” fall into the water, they went back to report it.
It did not take long for the lake to return to its original stillness. Xia He also slowly sneaked her way westward. As everything on her body was thoroughly soaked, her movements were much slower than usual.
When she finally reached the shore, she no longer had the strength to speak. Kong Lu quickly ran over and carried Xia He back to the car to get warm. They could not stay around for too long.
“Quickly… inform Aunt… Don’t worry about me for now. Hurry up and go tell Aunt,” Xia He said weakly.
Kong Lu had already informed Xia Fang the moment the two women jumped into the water. Aunt and her team were probably on their way here by now.
“Don’t worry. Xia Zhe has already instructed me on these things. I’ll bring you to Aunt’s other house first. Don’t talk anymore, just save your strength.” After saying that, Kong Lu drove away from the lake.
Xia He covered herself with the blanket she had prepared in advance and fell asleep.
Qiao Mei had been hiding near the shore the entire time. From where she was, she could only hear bits and pieces of the conversation. However, the entire scene still looked very dangerous. In the end, when they tussled with each other, it had caused the boat to overturn.
“I didn’t expect these two to try so hard. This is even more exciting and thrilling than what’s shown in television dramas,” Qiao Mei muttered softly as she hid behind a tree.
When she heard a loud splash, she hurriedly jumped into the water as well.
Qiao Mei squatted in the lake and held her breath. The lake water in the morning was still very cold. Fortunately, she had a bangle that could maintain her body temperature and it formed a small circle of light around her.
From time to time, she would poke her head out to take a breather. The original owner of the body did not have a watch and Qiao Qiang had taught her how to look at the sun to tell time. Qiao Mei raised her head and looked briefly at the position of the sun before looking at the shadows on the shore. It was time for her to climb ashore.
Qiao Mei crawled to the shore with a lot of difficulty, digging her fingers deep into the soil. She hurriedly opened the pack of fake blood plasma and poured it on her legs, then threw the rest into the lake to create an illusion. Just now, in order for it to look more real, she had even held her breath in the water for a long time, making her look pale enough to resemble a drowning person.
“Help… help me…” Qiao Mei shouted weakly towards people she saw.
As she shifted her body bit by bit, the fake blood on her legs slowly seeped into her clothes, making it look especially scary.
Xia Zhe’s people also arrived as scheduled and quickly found Qiao Mei’s location.
“Do you think that’s a person?” Sister Zhu pointed at the shore.
“Let me see… Oh my! It’s really a person! Hurry up and save her!” Sister Qin hurriedly grabbed Sister Zhu and rushed over.
“Miss! Oh my! It’s a person!”
“It’s a pregnant woman! Hurry up and save her! Save her quickly!”
The two women hurriedly ran over. Sister Zhu took off her coat and wrapped it around Qiao Mei while Sister Qin knelt on the ground and pulled Qiao Mei into her arms.
“Save me… please save me… save my children… please…” Qiao Mei said weakly as she looked at Sister Qin.
Sister Qin grabbed Qiao Mei’s hand and said, “We’ll definitely save you. Don’t worry! Sister, quickly go and get help!”
“Aye, aye! Alright! I’ll go now! You… you take good care of her. I’ll go and get help!” Sister Zhu scrambled towards the park to get help.
Although the two of them were also family members of soldiers, they did not know what it was like to fight a war. The most bloody scene they had ever seen was a pig being slaughtered in the village.
This was the first time they had seen someone’s life in danger. Even if it was fake, the “blood” on her legs and her pale face still made them tremble in fear.
“You… You hang in there… Don’t scare me… Sister has gone to call for help. Little sister, you have to hang in there.” Sister Qin hugged Qiao Mei tightly and did not let go. She was really worried about what would happen if the accident turned out to be real.
Qiao Mei secretly held Sister Qin’s hand tightly to reassure her.
When Sister Zhu went looking for help, she even fell down and scraped her knees. Her knees kept bleeding and the blood soaked through her pants.
“Help! Help save her! Someone! Help!” Sister Zhu shouted in the park and quickly attracted the attention of many people.
