Chapter 765 Where are you?!

"The number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."

Inside the Baoyuan District Police Station, Old Song, with his receding hairline, glanced down at his phone, frowned slightly, and dialed again before putting it to his ear.

"The number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."

"Is the power out or has something happened?" Old Song panicked involuntarily.

"Hey you... I remember there was an old reservoir behind Future Elementary School, right?"

"Seems to be……"

"Don't just say it seems like it, right?!"

"Yes, my daughter used to go to school there, but to prevent accidents, the reservoir seems to have been fenced off. I don't know what it's like now..." someone suddenly answered from the other side.

Old Song immediately became anxious: "Quickly, send a few people to check on the elementary school!"

"it is good!"

After hurriedly giving his orders, Old Song looked down at his phone, found Lu Yuanqiu's third uncle's number, hesitated for a moment, then decided not to call. He cursed under his breath, put away his phone, quickly got up from his chair, and followed the police officers out the door.

……

The moment Lu Yuanqiu jumped down, he not only heard the cicadas chirping, but also smelled a foul odor.

This water smells awful, it's fishy and stinky.

Luo Qiang clearly couldn't swim, and as he thrashed about in the water, he immediately reached out and grabbed Lu Yuanqiu's hair.

The guy held on tightly, and before Lu Yuanqiu could react, he was pushed headfirst into the water. Fortunately, he held his breath the moment he entered the water and didn't swallow the dirty water.

With visibility extremely low, he reached up into the water and grabbed Luo Qiang's wrist. With a grappling grip, he caused Luo Qiang to scream in pain above the water. Only then did Lu Yuanqiu emerge from the water, see the light of day again, and take a deep breath of fresh air.

"Damn it! Don't move! I'm going to get you up here!"

Enraged, he slapped Luo Qiang across the face, then swam up behind him, mimicking first aid techniques he'd seen online, wrapping his arms around Luo Qiang's armpits before swimming backwards towards the shore.

Lu Yuanqiu was already exhausted, but at this moment, whether it was the release of adrenaline or the belief in his heart that he must survive, he frantically moved his hands and feet, overdrawing his physical strength.

As they approached the shore, Lu Yuanqiu got ashore first, then leaned back and forcefully pulled Luo Qiang's body backward, dragging him onto the shore as well.

"Holy crap..."

Lu Yuanqiu finally exhausted himself, staggered back a few steps, and lay flat on the shore with his limbs outstretched.

The shore was scorching hot, but he only felt warm and cozy.

Panting heavily, with the blinding sunlight shining overhead, Lu Yuanqiu weakly raised his hand to shield his eyes, somewhat relieved that he was seeing the sun in the sky, rather than the lights in the coffee shop.

He turned to look at Luo Qiang, only to find that the guy was motionless and his face was ashen. Lu Yuanqiu panicked and quickly got up and crawled over there.

As he stood up, he hissed in pain. Lu Yuanqiu quickly looked down at his calf and discovered a bloody gash that was twenty centimeters long.

What the hell? ? ?

When did you row? When you came ashore?
Lu Yuanqiu was stunned for a moment, but he had no time to pay attention to his own injuries. Luo Qiang's condition seemed to be much more serious than his.

"Hey! Wake up!"

The guy's face was ashen, even somewhat black.

Lu Yuanqiu patted his cheek, bent down to listen to his breathing, but there was no movement.

Fortunately, he had listened to the CPR lessons at school, thinking he could take advantage of the situation while practicing with Bai Qingxia. However, the practice didn't go as planned, and his first real-life application was used on this guy instead.

……

Meanwhile, Bai Qingxia and her group went to Luo Qiang's apartment complex but found nothing. However, they learned from Luo Qiang's mother that Luo Qiang was missing. But Luo Qiang's mother did not know where Lu Yuanqiu was at the moment, and the police station only told her to wait for notification.

The group followed Bai Qingxia out of the residential area, looking bewildered and unsure of what was going on.

What's going on with Luo Wei's cousin? Why did he disappear? And what is the relationship between Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia, and her cousin?
But seeing Bai Qingxia's worried expression, no one dared to ask her about these things at this time.

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

Bai Qingxia put down her phone, her heart filled with anxiety.

She didn't even know where Luo Qiang might have gone, so how could Lu Yuanqiu possibly know? Why did she have to do this alone?
Just then, an unknown number suddenly called. Bai Qingxia immediately answered and put the phone to her ear.

"Xia Xia..."

The voice on the other end of the phone was Lu Yuanqiu's, though it sounded somewhat weak.

Bai Qingxia finally couldn't hold back any longer, desperately trying to suppress the sob in her voice: "Where are you?!"

Upon hearing this, her friends immediately surrounded her, craning their necks to listen with concerned expressions.

"Don't worry, I'm fine at the First Municipal Hospital. I just need to get my stitches done later..."

Zhong Jincheng shouted, "You've already got stitches and you're still saying you're okay?!"

"Car, car, car!" Cao Shuang urged, looking up.

Liu Wangchun quickly grabbed the car keys and ran to get the car.

The group rushed to the hospital's emergency department.

Lu Yuanqiu was still receiving treatment for his wounds in the emergency room. Several police officers were standing in front of him. One of them, a bald middle-aged man, looked familiar to Bai Qingxia; he was Director Song.

Although Lao Song had only met Bai Qingxia a few times, he still had a deep impression of the girl. Before Lu Yuanqiu entered the emergency room, he insisted on using his phone to call the girl back, which showed how important the girl was to him.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qiu is fine. She just cut her leg and it's being treated. She might have to stay in the hospital for a few days to see how the wound develops. The other situation is more serious; she's still being treated."

Bai Qingxia nodded slowly... Luo Qiang had actually chosen to take his own life.

Old Song glanced at the others and said to Bai Qingxia with certainty, "It was Xiao Qiu who saved that child's life."

“We found them near the Future Primary School. As soon as we drove to the scene, we saw Xiao Qiu carrying Luo Qiang to the school gate. Both of them were soaked, and Xiao Qiu’s legs were covered in blood. They were exhausted and collapsed on the ground when they saw us.”

Bai Qingxia nodded again, but this time she added a gesture of wiping away tears.

"Oh, and please inform Luo Qiang's family."

"it is good."

"We're leaving now. Someone will come to take Xiaoqiu's statement later."

The group nodded to Lao Song and the others, watching them leave the emergency department.

Bai Qingxia stood outside the emergency room, trying to peek inside, but couldn't see anything clearly. Zheng Yifeng walked over and asked the question that had been weighing on his mind: "Luo Qiang... what's going on with this guy?"

Bai Qingxia turned her head to look, then lowered her eyes to explain: "He and I were elementary school classmates. He stole my things when we were in elementary school. When my brother found out, he went to his house that night to get them back for me. But on his way back... he died in a car accident."
