Chapter 1028: I will go
Riverbank.
People were shouting and screaming.
It was dangerous, and nine people had disappeared underwater. Only less than twenty seconds had passed, and those people would drown if no one rescued them now.
“Xiao Zhang!”
“Old Chen!”
“Yanyan! Yanyan! Where are you?!”
“Please save my child!”
It was complete chaos with all the shouting and screaming.
More people gathered at the riverbank, but no one dared to go into the water.
Wan Fanglei and Zhong Zhengwei knew it was dangerous and did not ask anyone to enter the water after the three officers disappeared.
Wan Fanglei shouted. “Where is the fire department?!”
A staff replied. “I called them. It will take a while until they arrive.”
“Call them and get them to hurry up.” Wan Fanglei was furious. “Go and get the rescue equipment from the Public Security Bureau since they cannot be here in time! Get ropes, oxygen tanks, and a heater.” The rescuers need professional equipment to enter the freezing water. Still, the people in the water cannot last until then.
What should we do?
What should we do?
Secretary Wan and Mayor Zhong could not do anything other than wait.
Luo Haiting, Liu Hanqing, and the rest did not move and looked at the water anxiously.
The reporters arrived. They had passed by this area and stopped to take pictures by the riverbanks.
“No!”
“Son! Son!”
“Please save them! Stop standing here and save them!”
A government staff replied. “The fire department will be here soon. We cannot enter the water without proper equipment. Please calm down and wait.”
“Xiao Hu!”
“Yanyan! You must be safe!”
“Please! I beg you all! Please go in and save them!”
The people knew entering the water without diving or rescue equipment was impossible. Those three officers had sacrificed when they entered the water, but they were worried for their relatives. None of them could remain calm. If it weren’t for others pulling them back, many of them would have jumped into the water to save their children.
One second….
Two seconds….
About 30 seconds had passed.
Although it was not long, it was fatal in the cold water.
The fire department and ambulance were not here yet. The staff who went to the Public Security Bureau to get the rescue equipment was not back yet.
Secretary Wan, Mayor Zhong, and other Fen Zhou City leaders could only stand by the riverbank, anxious.
Those who had fallen into the water would be dead by the fire department arrived.
No one can hold their breath for so long, and anyone who tries to rescue them will risk drowning.
It was tense.
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman kneels before the Fen Zhou City leaders. “Please…. I beg you all to save my son! He is only ten!”
Liu Hanqing was near that woman and tried to help her up. “Please don’t do this.”
That woman ignored him and bowed her head down. “I kowtow to you all. Please save my son!”
An elderly couple also kneeled. “We beg you all to save our granddaughter!”
“Me too.”
“I am also kneeling to beg you all. Please save them!”
Around seven to eight people kneeled in front of Fen Zhou City leaders and kowtow. Some of them were bleeding from their forehead.
These people were pitiful, and many onlookers cried.
However, no one dares to enter the water.
“Please…. Please….”
“Hurry and save them. I will also kneel to you all.”
That elderly man kowtows to the leaders.
No leaders or staff move. Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead and cursed in his heart. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and took off his coat.
“What are you doing?” Xie Huilan narrowed his eyes.
“I will go.” Dong Xuebing does not want to stand out because of the incident two days ago. But he had no choice now. He cannot stand there and look at those people drowning.
Coat….
Shirt….
Innerwear….
Dong Xuebing kicked his shoes off. He had almost taken off all his clothes.
The next moment, everyone saw the scars, bruises, and bandages on Dong Xuebing’s body. They took a deep breath and knew these were the injuries from the day before.
Xie Huilan was also shocked. “Didn’t you say you are not hurt?!”
Dong Xuebing had only shown part of his chest to Xie Huilan that day, and that area was fine. He dares not show her other parts of his body as he doesn’t want her to worry. Only the doctors and nurses at the hospitals saw these wounds. “No fractures means I am not injured. I am fine. These minor injuries are just scratches. Don’t worry about me. I will be back soon.”
Zhong Zhengwei shouted. “Xiao Dong! Stay where you are! You are not allowed to go!”
Zhan Guiping was also mad when he saw Dong Xuebing was going to save those people. “Xiao Dong! What are you doing!? How are you going to save anyone with your injuries?!”
Luo Haiting tried to stop Dong Xuebing. “Director, please don’t go!”
Liu Hanqing added. “How are you going to save them with your injuries?”
But Dong Xuebing refused to listen. He ignored them and jumped into the freezing water.
No one expected Director Dong, beaten up by dozens of people a few days ago, would try to rescue them.
Everyone’s eyes turned red.
The injuries on Dong Xuebing’s body were caused by their relatives and loved ones. They had also scolded him earlier and never expected Dong Xuebing to risk his life by going into the water.
