Chapter 129: Chapter 129 You Almost Killed Her

The bone-chilling cold felt like thousands of needles densely pricking into her skin.

Her body seemed to be frozen, unable to move freely.

The light underwater was dim, but she could barely make out a spot of white slowly sinking into the distance.

Ye Li held her breath, swimming laboriously toward that direction.

It was only a distance of three to five meters, but no matter how she swam, Ye Li seemed unable to reach it.

All she could clearly see was indeed the white down jacket and black pants, just as Fu Yanci had described over the phone.

A trail of bubbles dwindled from many to few.

Without even struggling, "Xiao Bao’s" limbs were extended as he sank downward, like a speck of dust.

Ye Li frantically pushed forward but still couldn’t reach him.

Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao...

We... let’s hold on a bit longer, just a bit longer, okay?

Fu Yanci is already on his way to pick us up. Soon, we will be able to go home.

Soon.

Bubbles escaped from her nose as Ye Li exerted her last bit of strength to kick toward "Xiao Bao."

Her fingertips touched "Xiao Bao’s" fingertips, and Ye Li reached out to grab hold.

In the next instant, darkness enveloped her vision, plunging her into endless blackness.

...

"The number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later! Sorry..." Before the emotionless voice at the other end of the phone could finish, Fu Yanci hung up.

As he looked around, there was no sign of the girl around the merry-go-round.

The sound of an ambulance siren grew from distant to near.

Park staff hurriedly headed toward the West Gate.

With a sense of alarm, Fu Yanci almost instinctively followed them.

His phone kept ringing.

"Boss, the young master has been found."

"Where’s Ah Li?"

"Personnel from the north, south, and east areas haven’t seen the Lady, those from the west are heading toward Bing Lake..."

West area.

Bing Lake.

Fu Yanci ended the call and bolted toward Bing Lake like a gust of wind.

He arrived just as Ye Li was being pulled out of the water by a crowd.

Her face was pale and blue with cold.

Her lips had turned deep purple.

Even in her unconscious state, the girl’s hand was still tightly clutching that of the little boy.

On the ice, a young woman cried out loud.

The crowd around murmured, saying that being saved from such a calamity is a sign of a future blessing or such.

But Fu Yanci heard none of it.

His ears might as well have been deaf as he raced to the front in a few strides.

The doctor had just finished administering emergency care; the girl’s breathing had been restored, and the hand she had been clenching had loosened, but she remained unconscious.

Uttering thanks in a deep voice, Fu Yanci followed them to the hospital room.

The hand he held in his palm had returned to normal temperature.

The beeping from the machine at the bedside also indicated the girl’s steady and strong heartbeat.

Despite this, a cold current still surged incessantly at the bottom of Fu Yanci’s heart.

Someone passed by outside the door.

Fu Yanci turned his head, only to see Xiao Bao, holding Xiang Yang’s hand, his eyes brimming with panic and guilt.

His expression immediately darkened as Fu Yanci stared intently at Xiao Bao for a few moments.

Then, with gentle movements, he placed Ye Li’s hand back under the blanket and stood up to walk outside.

The little boy, not yet as tall as his belt, couldn’t help but burst into tears as soon as he met his gaze.

But Fu Yanci was unyielding.

All he had in mind was the image of the girl being fished out of the lake, fragile and delicate like seaweed.

"Fu Muzhi, do you see this? This is the consequence of your whims..." Fu Yanci’s words were ice-cold, "You almost killed her!"

"Waah..."

Xiao Bao burst into tears and ran toward the hospital bed.
