At that moment, there was indeed a sound on the water. Fu Ying was delighted. Then, with a "splash," another person emerged from the water. Fu Ying could see clearly that this person was Lan Gao, who, just like when they came out, was panting and had his eyes closed for a while before opening them.
Fu Ying quickly asked, "Where is Zhou Xuan? Have you seen Zhou Xuan?" Her voice trembled, and she almost burst into tears.
After calming down a bit, the senior executive replied, "He should be right behind me!" But he wasn't sure.
Wei Haihong, on the other side, didn't ask any questions. He took a deep breath and plunged into the water.
Fu Ying and Lan Gao also immediately dived into the water. The river was one or two hundred meters wide, and based on the time it took for Wang Cai to swim up, the water depth should be sixteen or seventeen meters.
Fu Ying dived deeper, but could not go any deeper. Tears streamed down her face, but she could not cry or call out in the water. She desperately searched for something in the water.
After going up and down two or three times, they still couldn't find Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoqing.
Fu Ying surfaced and burst into tears, calling out Zhou Xuan's name repeatedly.
At this moment, passersby on the bank also noticed someone in the river, and someone shouted loudly: "Someone has fallen into the water! Someone has fallen into the water!" Some pedestrians gathered around, some shouting, and some quickly looking for long poles or something similar.
Fu Ying cried out and dove back into the water, desperately trying to dive deeper. But she couldn't find where they had come from, nor could she reach the bottom. Her body was weak and limp, on the verge of collapse. Her only strength was her heartache and worry for Zhou Xuan. If she were with Zhou Xuan, even in the face of death or dire straits, she would never panic. But now, she was alive, she had escaped, but Zhou Xuan was gone. Her heart was breaking!
Fu Ying searched frantically in the water, her eyes blurred with tears, and she could see nothing.
At that moment, Wei Haihong noticed Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoqing floating in the water to his left, but neither of them seemed to be moving.
Startled, Wei Haihong quickly swam over, grabbed one in each hand, and swam upwards.
Fu Ying composed herself, wiped her eyes in the water, and when she opened them again, she saw Wei Haihong holding Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoqing as they swam to the surface. Overjoyed, her heart pounded, and she quickly swam after them.
After emerging from the water, Fu Ying hugged Zhou Xuan, Wei Haihong lifted Wei Xiaoqing, and Lan Gaozhang also helped from behind. The three of them pulled the two of them to the shore.
At this point, the people on the bank found some poles for them to pull on, and together they quickly pulled them onto the riverbank.
Once ashore, some passersby quickly dialed the emergency number 120 on their phones.
Fu Ying laid Zhou Xuanping on the ground, pressing on his abdomen while giving him artificial respiration.
On the other side, after Wei Haihong laid Wei Xiaoqing flat on the ground, before he could even move, Wei Xiaoqing had already spat out some water and started coughing.
Wei Haihong was overjoyed and quickly helped her up, patting her back with his hands.
Wei Xiaoqing vomited some water, slowly opened her eyes, and then asked in a weak voice, "Uncle, where is Zhou... Zhou Xuan?"
Wei Haihong turned his gaze to Fu Ying, who was crying and repeatedly performing abdominal compressions and artificial respiration. Seeing that Zhou Xuan was not responding, she couldn't help but cry and curse, "Zhou Xuan, if you just leave me like this, I will never forgive you!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but press her hand against his chest.
Lan Gao went over to Zhou Xuan's side to check on him, then touched Zhou Xuan's chest with his hand. He then stopped Fu Ying's movements and said, "Miss Fu, don't move. Zhou Xuan is breathing and has a heartbeat. Don't stimulate him!"
Fu Ying was stunned. She raised her tear-streaked face and said in a trembling voice, "You...you said he's still alive...alive?"
As she spoke, Fu Ying leaned down and gently pressed her face against Zhou Xuan's, holding her breath to listen. Sure enough, Zhou Xuan had a faint breath. Although faint, it was clear that he was alive!
Fu Ying immediately hugged Zhou Xuan and began to sob.
About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived.
When Zhou Xuan woke up, he was already in a hospital ward. Fu Ying and Wei Haihong were there. He glanced to the side and saw Wei Xiaoqing lying on another bed. He breathed a sigh of relief!
While underwater, Zhou Xuan reached the edge of the cave entrance at the bottom of the river, but could no longer hold on and was swept out by the current. In that instant of being swept out, he finally couldn't bear to go any further.
But now, Yan Ran and Wei Xiaoqing are alive and well, and you can see her chest rising and falling as she falls asleep.
Fu Ying was talking to Wei Haihong when she heard a slight movement on the bed. She quickly turned around and saw Zhou Xuan staring at her with his eyes open. Overjoyed, she stammered, "You...you're awake?"
Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, reached out and gently shook her hand.
Fu Ying gripped his hand, suddenly overwhelmed with sorrow. Tears streamed down her face like broken pearls as she weakly cried out, "You, you scared me to death! You're so mean!"
Wei Haihong sighed, got up and quietly walked out of the ward, not wanting to disturb their intimate moment.
"Yingying, I'm sorry!" Zhou Xuan said softly, then struggled to sit up. Fu Ying quickly pressed him back down on the bed and said, "Don't move! The doctor said you're too weak. We'll talk after the IV fluids are finished!"
In fact, Fu Ying was just as weak as Wei Haihong, but much better than Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoqing, and she drank some more beverage.
On the other bed, Wei Xiaoqing turned her face very gently. Turning to the other side, tears streamed silently down her face.
She remembered everything Zhou Xuan did for her in the cave. She could never forget Zhou Xuan's lips, the lips that gave her breath and a sense of security. She didn't know or understand why, but she knew that Zhou Xuan had risked his life to save her.
While in the cave, Wei Xiaoqing had already given up hope of survival, but Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying stayed by her side and rescued her. When the current gushed out of the cave and into the river, Wei Xiaoqing was unable to move and had no strength, but she clearly saw Zhou Xuan close his eyes and faint in front of her. At that moment, she thought that perhaps she and Zhou Xuan would finally die together there. After that, she was always very scared, but at that time, she felt no fear. Perhaps dying with Zhou Xuan would leave her with no regrets. In that instant, Wei Xiaoqing realized that she had fallen deeply in love with this man she thought was ordinary and unsophisticated!
In this lifetime, Wei Xiaoqing will never fall in love with another man again; that's how she feels right now!
However, Wei Xiaoqing also understood that Zhou Xuan only loved Fu Ying in his heart. She had always disliked Fu Ying, but she also had to admit that she liked her very much. She liked her beauty, her persistence, and her naturalness!
Moreover, Wei Xiaoqing has always felt the persistent and genuine love between Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying. The "unwavering love" mentioned in the book may be the love between the two of them!
To be honest, Zhou Xuan himself didn't expect that they would be able to walk out of that underground place alive. Wei Haihong, Wei Xiaoqing, and the Lan higher-ups didn't expect it either. The people who died were too vicious. Of the sixteen people, only the five of them escaped alive! Two days later.
Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoqing have fully recovered and been discharged from the hospital. The Municipal Bureau has already booked their plane tickets. Ling Hui will pick them up from the hospital and take them directly to the airport.
On the way, Ling Hui told the higher-ups at Lan that they should go back first, as he still had some things to take care of here, including the aftermath.
Ling Hui had clearly received orders from her superiors not to ask them anything privately. She simply said while driving, "The Lan higher-ups have ordered that the cave on Xiaoyang Mountain be completely sealed off with steel and cement. We'll never see the sinkhole cave on Xiaoyang Mountain again."
This is natural.
Zhou Xuan thought to himself that he held Fu Ying's hand the whole way and couldn't bear to let go. Although he was prepared to die, it was always good to be alive, especially to be alive with the person he loved and to have his best friend alive and well. There was nothing to regret!
Wei Xiaoqing's face remained fixed on the scenery outside the car window, quiet and motionless.
A small part of her own face was reflected in the car window; upon closer inspection, her lips were slightly red.
