Gu Yusheng struggled desperately several times, but no sooner had he raised his head out of the water than the flood swallowed him down. No one knew how many times he had struggled like this. Choking on the rushing water, he gradually became weaker, and his injured leg started to cramp. Finally, he couldn’t even raise his head above the water anymore. He had held his breath for too long under the water, and he began to lose consciousness due to the lack of oxygen.
That’s bullsh*t… God only knew how many times he had come through a hail of bullets and still been still safe and sound. Now, such a dangerous thing had happened to him while rescuing two boys… But his little troublemaker was waiting for him to pick her up… He had a lot of things to tell her, and she had also said that she had something to tell him… Would she be angry if he didn’t come…?
He tried desperately to refocus, but after all, he was still somewhat weak. He could faintly see the beautiful and delicate eyes of his little troublemaker smiling at him.
…
When Qin Zhi’ai arrived at A city, it was already nine at night.
What she found first was Gu Yusheng’s car with the doors unlocked. In the car was his suit jacket. His wallet and the keys to his villa were in the pocket of the jacket.
The taxi left after taking her there.
She stood beside Gu Yusheng’s car alone, holding her phone, and gave Gu Yusheng a call.
When the phone call had gone through, the voice of the same man who had answered the phone when Qin Zhi’ai had been at the airport came out.
After Qin Zhi’ai told him where she was, she hung up, waiting for no longer than ten minutes until a police car came to her.
A middle-aged man climbed out of the driver’s seat. When he came to Qin Zhi’ai, he gave Gu Yusheng’s phone back to her and told her in detail all he knew at that point.
While rescuing the two boys, Gu Yusheng had been swept away by a swirling current. It had been five hours since the boys called police for help… But he hadn’t been found yet…
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhi’ai’s heart hurt sharply. In the end, it seemed like all of her blood was running cold. She stared at this strange middle-aged policeman for about a minute, then she moved her mouth, but her tears fell down before she could speak. Then, with a choked voice, she blurted out without thinking, “I’m going to find him.”
As Qin Zhi’ai said this, she wanted to cross the guardrails of the highway and run towards the river.
The middle-aged policeman reached out and grabbed her, saying, “Miss, you need to calm down. Our people are searching for him now. They’ll contact me once they hear any new information. You came over from Shanghai, so maybe you haven’t eaten anything yet? How about you come with me to a restaurant to eat something and take a rest…”
Of course, Qin Zhi’ai had no appetite, so she shook her head and stubbornly repeated the words she had said just now with determination. “I’m going to find him.”
As she talked, she forcefully shook off the middle-aged policeman’s hand and grabbed the guardrail next to the highway, scrambling over it.
She was freaked out by the news that Gu Yusheng was missing after he had fallen into the water. Exhausted, she couldn’t climb over it after she had made it halfway up the guardrail. She was anxious with tears running down her face, turning around and casting a helpless look at the middle-aged policeman.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged policeman felt sorry for her, so he came to Qin Zhi’ai and gave her a hand. After scrambling over the guardrail, she quickly rushed to the riverside.
