"Mr. Lu — —" Zhao Meng still hadn't recovered from the shock of seeing Qiao Anhao fall off the cliff. Seeing Mr. Lu jump down, she instinctively blurted out the name she was used to calling him in private.
"Mr. Lu!" His assistant, who was following closely behind him, shouted his name and ran to the edge of the cliff. The assistant, who was afraid of heights, only glanced down once before covering his face and turning his head away.
Qiao Anhao only realized that she was in danger when she was falling from the sky. She fell into the icy cold river, and because she wasn't prepared, she choked a few times. She used her hands and feet to struggle a few times before popping her head out of the water. She opened her mouth and shouted towards the shore, "Help!". Then, the water splashed onto her head, pushing her back into the river, drowning out her cries for help.
When Qiao Anhao popped her head out of the river again, she saw that she was already a few dozen meters away from the edge of the cliff. She wanted to swim back, but the water was too fast and the resistance was too strong. No matter how much strength she used, not only was she unable to move forward, she was even pushed back another few dozen meters.
The roiling river continuously slammed into her head, filling her ears with water and severely affecting her hearing. When she opened her eyes, all she could see was a vast expanse of white water and a precipitous cliff that she couldn't climb up.
Qiao Anhao's strength was quickly depleted. She could even feel her feet going numb in the water. A wave of despair crept into her heart.
In the past, Qiao Anhao had seen similar melodramatic scenes on television. At the time, she had thought that such scenes could only be performed on television. She never imagined that one day, it would actually happen to her.
But she wasn't the female lead on television. She didn't have the main character's halo, and she didn't have a male lead who would risk his life to save her. Her limbs were weak now, and her body was clearly starting to sink. She could already feel the aura of death gradually enveloping her...
Could it be that she had really lost her life in this river that she didn't even know the name of …?
Everyone had a survival instinct, and Qiao Anhao was no exception. She didn't want to die, and she desperately tried to float up, but her weak limbs couldn't muster any strength.
A sense of fear mixed with despair filled her body. It was the kind of fear that she couldn't escape from even though she could clearly see death approaching. It made her tear up in an instant, bringing with it an indescribable sense of helplessness and grievance.
She felt so wronged. Not only did she lose her parents at the age of ten, she had also lost her own child and the person she loved the most not long ago. In the end, God did not pity her at all and even wanted to take her life …
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. In the end, her tears flowed like a river.
Actually, when Lu Jinnian heard Zhao Meng shout "Qiao Qiao fell", his mind had already gone blank. His heart felt as though it was being squeezed by something, and he couldn't feel anything.
In fact, the instant he was submerged in the ice-cold river water, he was stunned for a full minute before he came to his senses. He had to remain calm and collected.
But when he thought about how he didn't even know where Qiao Anhao was in the vast river, he became even more anxious.
