The severely deformed Mercedes sedan was pressed under the heavy truck, slowly sinking into the river, beyond rescue. This river was a tributary of the Lin’an River, at least a dozen meters deep.

Bai Xuyang couldn’t snap out of his daze.

Qin Guilin, pressed beneath him, was pale with fright. If the two of them had just gotten into the car, they would surely be buried at the bottom of the river by now!

“Xiao Pang, get in the water and save them!” Su Wuji shouted.

There was still a driver in that Mercedes sedan!

Although the passenger side was flattened, the driver’s cabin still had its general frame; maybe the driver hadn’t been killed on impact! And the driver of the truck that caused the accident might still be alive after falling into the water! To prove whether this was intentional murder, they had to catch him alive!

Hearing the order, Xiao Pang rushed down with a few large strides!

However, Su Wuji was even faster than him!

Master and servant leaped into the river one after another!

The bodyguards brought by Bai Xuyang and Qin Guilin finally came to their senses and shouted, “Protect the Young Master!” They surrounded the two men, but not a single one went into the water to save anyone!

“Get the hell out of my way! If I relied on you to protect me, I’d be dead already!”

Bai Xuyang roared, pushed the bodyguards away, and rushed to the riverbank!

However, he hesitated and didn’t jump in. With Young Master Bai’s swimming skills, which were limited to a few laps in a calm pool, jumping in would likely result in being swept away by the undertow caused by the two sinking vehicles!

In less than a minute, Bai Xuyang’s clothes were soaked with sweat.

Qin Guilin was in even worse shape; his lips were pale, his legs were trembling, and he hadn’t even managed to get up from the ground yet!

Bai Xuyang looked into the water. The two vehicles were almost completely submerged, and Su Wuji and Xiao Pang were nowhere to be seen.

His mind went blank. He took a few deep breaths and shouted, “Su Wuji!”

No one answered him.

Another minute passed.

This short time felt like years to Bai Xuyang, and a strong sense of dizziness filled his head.

He indeed detested Su Wuji, feeling nauseous at the sight of the frivolous expression on the other’s face, but the guy had just saved his life! Bai Xuyang knew that when Su Wuji kicked him in the back, he too was exposed to the direct impact of the heavy truck!

He could have dodged early and watched the show without caring! But this little hooligan still saved the person who had just kicked him! And now, Su Wuji had decided to jump into the river to save people without hesitation!

Bai Xuyang’s emotions were complicated to the extreme. Compared to him, what kind of man was he?

Another minute passed.

Qin Guilin finally struggled to the riverbank. He looked down, and his legs grew even weaker. From here to the water surface, it was a drop of fully a dozen meters, five or six stories high! Jumping down, if the posture was wrong, the impact of the water surface alone could knock you out!

Qin Guilin took two steps back and asked in disbelief, “Did they… just… jump down like that?”

Bai Xuyang didn’t speak, staring constantly at the water surface.

The commotion here attracted the attention of some passersby. They stopped by the riverbank, looking at the situation in the water, but no one rashly jumped in.

Qin Guilin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “They won’t drown in there, will they?”

Bai Xuyang clenched his fists tightly. “Definitely not.”

Qin Guilin, pale-faced, continued, “He jumped down voluntarily. If he drowns, it has nothing to do with us.”

“Is that something a human would say?”

Bai Xuyang suddenly turned around, grabbed Qin Guilin by the collar, and punched him hard in the face!

Qin Guilin was knocked to the ground on his butt. He rubbed his face, gasping for breath. “Why hit so hard? I said the wrong thing. I want him to come up too, but it’s been so long. If it were me, I’d have suffocated long ago…”

Veins bulged on Bai Xuyang’s forehead as he roared, “Shut the fuck up!”

Three minutes passed.

Finally, a head broke the surface first! It was Xiao Pang!

In his hand, he was dragging someone! Bai Xuyang recognized that it wasn’t one of his men, so it must be the truck driver! If this truck driver was still alive, they could interrogate him to find out whether it was an accident or attempted murder!

However, the location of the fall was too high, a sheer drop. Even if Xiao Pang reached the bank, he couldn’t get up!

Bai Xuyang looked around and pointed to a spot a hundred meters away. “Swim over there! There are steps!”

Saying this, he ran frantically towards that direction. The bodyguards followed in a rush. Qin Guilin also climbed up and followed weakly behind.

Just as Xiao Pang swam towards the shore, Su Wuji’s head finally broke the surface too! He was gasping for air, an unconscious person tucked under his armpit!

This person wore a black suit; it was Bai Xuyang’s bodyguard!

“Swim this way! This way!” Bai Xuyang shouted from the steps!

Su Wuji struggled to swim to the shore.

Bai Xuyang had already jumped into the water. The water near the shore was shallower, only reaching his thighs. Even for someone who couldn’t swim well, this depth posed no danger.

“Grab me!”

Bai Xuyang reached out and grabbed Su Wuji!

The bodyguards behind him also rushed into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot, trying to pull Bai Xuyang up.

“Don’t worry about me, save him!”

Shouting, Bai Xuyang and the bodyguards pulled Su Wuji and the driver up directly!

“Quick, save him first!”

After getting ashore, Su Wuji didn’t rest at all and immediately began chest compressions on the driver! His life-saving movements were extremely professional, his expression incredibly focused!

Finally, after the driver spat out a large mouthful of water, he woke up.

“Brother Chong! How are you?” Bai Xuyang supported his shoulder and asked hurriedly.

This wasn’t an ordinary driver; he was a personal bodyguard who had followed Bai Xuyang for years, named Cheng Chong. He was deeply trusted by Bai Xuyang’s parents and could sometimes offer advice to Young Master Bai, acting as half-advisor, half-bodyguard, somewhat similar to Li Qingchen beside Mu Qianyu, though not as formidable.

After regaining consciousness for a dozen seconds, Cheng Chong ignored Bai Xuyang. Instead, he turned to look for someone.

Upon seeing Su Wuji, Cheng Chong supported his body with one hand, knelt on the riverbank, and kowtowed heavily!
