CHAPTER 560: CHAPTER 560: RESCUING PEOPLE IN THE LAKE

Unexpectedly, Mu Qiancheng, who followed closely, grabbed her and said, "Xue’er, I’ll go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qiancheng leaped up and jumped directly into the lake.

Being a man, Mu Qiancheng naturally knew how to swim. As soon as he entered the water, he swam towards the struggling child in the water.

Jiang Xue and the older child stood by the shore, watching with their hearts in their throats.

"Sister, can the big brother save my little brother?" the child beside her asked. He was a local kid, and today, having nothing to do, he brought his little brother to play in the park.

Coming to the lakeside, he saw small fish in the lake and wanted to catch some. Who knew, with one careless move, his little brother fell into the lake. He wanted to jump in to save him, but he couldn’t swim. Helpless, he had to shout for help.

Fortunately, there were people nearby who heard his cries for help; otherwise, the little brother would have been in great danger.

"Don’t worry, the big brother will definitely save him," Jiang Xue consoled the child beside her, though her own heart was still tight with concern.

At this moment, Shangguan Wenbin, carrying a child, also came over with several elderly people. Seeing that Mu Qiancheng had already gone down to rescue the child, the elders felt relieved yet still anxious.

Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua knew that Mu Qiancheng could swim. However, he had only swum in rivers before, and now they were at a lake—it was uncertain how deep it was. If it was very deep, even if Mu Qiancheng rescued the child, it would be difficult to bring him back to shore.

Moreover, it was logical that the child should have fallen near the shore, but now he was already in the middle of the lake.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the water is deepest in the center of a river or lake, so everyone’s heart was suspended with worry.

"Sis, the child is about to sink. Should I go down too?" Shangguan Wenbin asked quietly as he saw Mu Qiancheng about to reach the child, who was rapidly sinking.

He could also swim, though not very well. Moreover, he had only swum in swimming pools before, never in wild lakes or rivers.

"Don’t rush, wait a bit longer." Jiang Xue comforted Shangguan Wenbin while also calming herself. She believed that Mu Qiancheng could rescue the child.

Of course, this was provided nothing unexpected happened.

As people say, what you worry about tends to happen. Just as Jiang Xue was worrying, the voice of the Little Fox suddenly echoed in her mind.

"Woman, it seems like there’s something in the lake."

"What did you say?" Jiang Xue was startled and asked, "Can you tell what it is?"

"The water is too deep; I can’t see clearly. But whatever it is, it seems pretty formidable. Tell your man to come up quickly and not disturb it, or there will be trouble."

"Got it!"

After communicating with the Little Fox, Jiang Xue shouted to Mu Qiancheng in the lake, "Qiancheng, once you find the child, come up quickly; it seems like there’s something in this lake."

"Xue’er, what are you saying, that there’s something in the lake? How do you know?" When the elders heard Jiang Xue’s words, they became worried.

"My intuition." Jiang Xue couldn’t tell them it was the Little Fox, so she had to pass off the concern as intuition.

In the lake, Mu Qiancheng had already reached the area where the child submerged. He took a deep dive into the lake, searching for any sign of the child.

After making a round of searches and not finding the child, Mu Qiancheng grew a bit anxious. Just as he was about to give up and surface for air, he suddenly noticed a silhouette ahead.

So, without bothering to come up for air, Mu Qiancheng swam directly towards the child.
