Chapter 16: That child is related to Ye Wangchuan

Zhao Jingwei, who had a closer relationship with Qiao Chen, nudged her with her elbow in envy. With undisguised admiration in her eyes, she whispered a compliment: "Chenchen, you're so lucky to have a boyfriend as handsome as Senior Fu."

Fu Ge was the idol of their Raocheng No. 1 High School. Back then, he had been admitted to the Finance Department of Tsinghua University with an impressive total science score of 678. It was said that he was a prominent figure at Tsinghua, on the level of a campus heartthrob.

It would be one thing if he just had good grades, but the key was that Fu Ge’s family was wealthy, and he was tall and handsome. Which girl wouldn't be envious?

A rosy flush spread across Qiao Chen’s cheeks as she shyly pushed her away: "Jingwei, don't talk nonsense."

At this moment, another classmate who had come with them chimed in: "Chenchen, will your sister be okay after jumping down like that?"

Fu Ge had been a favored child since he was young, growing up amidst the praise of those around him, so he didn't take the compliments from Qiao Chen's friends to heart. He smiled with self-restraint, but upon hearing this, he asked in confusion: "Who jumped down?"

Only then did he notice the bridge side, where many people were gathered, cheering for the person below. No one had been paying attention to them.

Qiao Chen was secretly annoyed at the person for being loose-lipped and lacking the tact that Zhao Jingwei had. She tugged at his sleeve, biting her lip: "Sister, my sister jumped down."

"I originally wanted to go down to save the person, but my swimming skills are just average... and the doctor said I shouldn't get cold, so I thought about calling you. I didn't expect my sister to jump down to save them..."

Fu Ge was stunned for a moment.

"You're saying Qiao Nian jumped down to save someone?"

Qiao Chen nodded, saying in a seemingly casual tone: "I've never heard of her knowing how to swim before..."

The water below was so turbulent; if a wave were to hit her, she wouldn't have to see Qiao Nian at school anymore!

……

On the bank, Qiao Nian struggled to drag the unconscious child ashore and hauled herself up. Seeing the child’s face turning blue and purple and his lack of consciousness, she knew he had swallowed a lot of water. Ignoring her own disheveled state, she propped herself up and immediately began emergency first aid.

"The person has been saved!"

The onlookers on the bridge cheered when they saw Qiao Nian pull the person up, and they began to head in that direction.

Fu Ge saw the scene from afar, turned his head, and asked in a low voice: "Should we go over and take a look?"

Qiao Chen didn't want the two of them to have any contact, but she couldn't show that she was being petty. Reluctantly, she hummed in agreement and said 'kindly': "I don't know how my sister is doing. Brother Fu Ge, let's go over and see. Maybe I can help..."

Not far away, in a traffic-controlled area, a Phaeton sped over the fallen leaves toward them.

"Master Wang, Elder Ye called to ask why the young master didn't answer his video call."

The Ye family's young master was the apple of everyone's eye in the Ye family. Master Wang doted on this little nephew immensely. If it weren't for the young master's medical treatment, Elder Ye would never have been willing to let him leave the capital. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the person looking after the young master would lose him...

The temperature inside the car was very low.

Ye Wangchuan’s handsome face was taut. He hadn't closed his eyes for three days, and his beautiful eyes were now bloodshot. Even the string of Buddhist beads on his right wrist could barely suppress the sharpness radiating from him.

"Tell him Ye Qichen is taking a nap and will call him back later."

"Yes, Master Wang."

At this moment, his earpiece rang.

Ye Wangchuan kept one hand on the steering wheel and answered the phone with the other: "Hello, have you found the exact location?"

"Found it." Jiang Li also knew the importance of Ye Qichen to the Ye family, so he didn't know how to tell him: "Wangchuan, to be honest, don't get agitated."

A dark tide surged in the depths of Ye Wangchuan's eyes, and his thin lips held a chill like ice and snow: "Speak!"
