Chapter 59 Zhaozhao Saves Xiaoman

Before long, Lu Yinzhao's attention was drawn to a large mushroom next to him that could spray water.

"Let's go play over there!"

Lu Yinzhao completely forgot about being angry with Bian Ji just now. After being a little proud for a while, the two kids stuck together again.

Many children were playing under the giant mushroom in the water.

The water sprayed from the giant mushroom formed a ring of water curtain caves, where children crawled in and out, playing and laughing.

This giant mushroom machine sprays water for fifteen minutes at set times, like a musical fountain, and it even has lights flashing above it.

Almost all the children in the pool were drawn to it.

But in a corner where no one was watching, a chubby little boy sneaked ashore, threw away his swimming ring, and planned to go to another, deeper pool.

The little boy was wearing a blue swimming cap, which was not noticeable in the pool.

He was not being watched by any of his parents, and he went into the water when no one was paying attention.

Lu Yinzhao played under the giant mushroom for a while, but then realized there were too many children and his eardrums were about to explode, so he quickly left the area.

"Brother Aji, let's go to the pool over there, it's no fun here."

Bian Ji nodded, took Lu Yinzhao's hand, and led him to the shore.

"The water over there is a bit deep, so be careful when you go down. Also, don't leave my and Uncle Lu's sight," Bian Ji said solemnly.

Lu Yinzhao had this much safety awareness, and nodded: "I know, I'm swimming right in front of you, I can stick my head out of the water and swim."

The little guy seemed to be subtly showing off his skills in front of Bian Ji, raising his eyebrows slightly with a smug look.

Once they reached the deeper part of the pool, Lu Wenyan went into the water first and waved to Lu Yinzhao, saying, "Zhaozhao, come here, get down from here, Daddy will hold you."

"Here it comes!" Lu Yinzhao ran over excitedly, jumped down, and was caught steadily by Lu Wenyan and put into the water.

"Dad, I want to practice holding my breath for a while."

"Okay, you say start, then start. Dad will time you."

Lu Yinzhao took a deep breath and dived back into the water like a fish.

Lu Wenyan could see her son's shadow sinking to the bottom of the water from the surface, and she kept a close eye on her child's condition.

The stopwatch was already running, and just fifteen seconds later, the little guy suddenly popped out and opened his mouth to breathe.

"Honey, this isn't your usual level. You didn't play well this round. Do you want to take a break before trying again..."

"Dad! A child is drowning in the water!"

When Lu Yinzhao sank down, he saw a child about five meters away from him, submerged in the water, lifeless, with a swollen belly. He didn't know how long the child had been drowning.

The child was in a blind spot, and a bunch of colorful inflatable duck toys were floating on the water.

That thing was so heavy that the drowning child was trapped underneath it, and there was no way to tip it over.

Lu Wenyan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly waved to the lifeguard.

There are still too few lifeguards at this venue, and many blind spots cannot be carefully observed.

Lu Yinzhao floated on the water, looked at his father and said something, and then the lifeguard jumped into the water.

The drowning child was rescued and brought ashore, drawing gasps of surprise from the surrounding crowd.

"Oh dear! Whose child is this? There's no parent watching over them around!"

"Call 120 immediately!"

"It's too pitiful, I can't bear to watch these things."

"I hope everything's alright..."

The lifeguard was performing CPR on the child. Seeing how professional his movements were, Bian Ji quietly loosened his clenched fist, just as he had learned online.

After about a minute, the child didn't react. At that moment, a plump middle-aged man squeezed in from the outer circle, holding a mobile phone in his hand.

Upon entering and seeing the pale-faced little boy lying on the ground, she broke down in tears.

"Xiaoman! Xiaoman! Wake up!"

"Don't scare your dad, Xiaoman!"

"My son! I just answered a work call, how could this be..."

"I'm sorry, Daddy is so sorry! It's all Daddy's fault, Daddy deserves to die! Waaaaaah!"

Someone nearby advised, "Dad, calm down. They're trying to save him. Don't shout. Someone has already called an ambulance."

"..." The fat man suddenly fell silent, wiping away his snot and tears.

Looking at her poor son lying on the ground, she cried and slapped herself.

The sound was quite loud.

Lu Yinzhao: "..."

This father was indeed careless, actually leaving his child alone in the swimming pool while he went out to answer the phone.

Judging from the other person's appearance, Lu Yinzhao thought he seemed to be a big business boss.

He must be very confident and assertive when negotiating business deals, but now he's crying like a baby.

well……

Lu Yinzhao also didn't want to see such a tragedy happen.

Every child is the apple of their parents' eye. If anything were to happen to the child, this father would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Hey! Hey! There's a reaction! There's a reaction!"

"Great! The water's out!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

The child lying on the ground being resuscitated vomited several mouthfuls of water, then coughed violently a few times.

She immediately started wailing.

The parents around breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to the man, saying something.

"He's really lucky! Let me tell you, you have to be very careful when taking your kids out to play!" an old man said.

"Take her to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible, lest she develop any long-term effects," a woman said.

“The child must have been terrified by the drowning. You’d better see a psychologist later to avoid post-traumatic stress,” a middle-aged man said.

"I understand, I will definitely pay attention, thank you so much! Thank you!" The fat man bowed and thanked them one by one, and couldn't help but cry again.

"You should thank him, not us." The onlookers made way and pointed to Lu Wenyan next to them.

"He was the one who discovered your son was drowning and then called the lifeguard. If it weren't for him, and if there had been any more delay, your son would have been in grave danger."

Lu Wenyan deliberately disguised herself when she went out today. She had her hair down and was wearing glasses, looking very artsy.

Seeing that the drowning child had been rescued, he wanted to take the child away quickly, but unexpectedly he became the focus of public attention.

The fat man glanced at Lu Wenyan and immediately stepped forward to hug her.

"Brother! Thank you so much! You're truly a great benefactor to my Long family!"

Lu Wenyang: "..."

The fat man's name is Long Guofei. He is a genuine coal boss whose family has been in the coal business for generations. He made his fortune in Xingbei City, where he met his true love, settled down, got married, and had children.

My son, Long Xiaoman, is four years old this year and is as chubby as his father.

Long Guofei is usually very busy and doesn't have time to take care of his child. Today, he finally managed to take his child out to play, but this kind of mishap happened.

He's henpecked, and he already knew how his wife would scold him.

He was still shaken by what happened today and felt lingering fear.

Lu Wenyan said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank my son. He was the first to discover a child drowning in the water."

Lu Wenyan stepped aside, revealing the little radish head hidden behind her.

Lu Yinzhao smiled and called out, "Uncle."

Long Guofei was stunned for a moment, then, after realizing what was happening, he squatted down and gratefully grasped Lu Yinzhao's hand.

"Little friend, I really don't know how to thank you. You're such a good child, so handsome and kind-hearted, sob sob..."

"..."

Seeing that the other person started wiping away tears again as they spoke, Lu Yinzhao hesitated to say anything.

Is this uncle made of water?

You'd never guess that beneath such a rugged exterior lies a person prone to incontinence.

Afterwards, the ambulance arrived smoothly and took the child and his father to the hospital.

Before this, Long Guofei insisted on exchanging contact information with Lu Wenyan, saying he would repay their family properly afterward.

Lu Wenyan thought it was a small matter and there was no need to make such a fuss, but when she refused slightly, the other party burst into tears.

He had no choice but to leave a work phone number in the end.

Lu Wenyan was afraid that if he didn't give it to them, they would directly ask the police to find their home and present them with a banner.

He really didn't want to be so high-profile. Today, he was just there as Zhao Zhao's father, taking his child out to play, not as the famous director Lu.

If things get out of hand and everyone around recognizes him, how can he possibly play happily with his child?

After this incident, Lu Wenyan began to pay extra close attention to Lu Yinzhao.

He had just been fantasizing about what it would be like if the person lying on the ground being resuscitated was Zhao Zhao...

Just thinking about it makes him want to die suddenly.

Lu Wenyan found herself completely unable to accept this possibility.

Bian Ji and Lu Wenyan looked exactly alike, and the two of them imagined the scene together.

From then on, no matter what Lu Yinzhao did, both of their eyes were fixed on him.

Lu Yinzhao was submerged for a few seconds before being forcibly brought to the surface.

Lu Yinzhao felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by the two of them.

He felt that his father and brother Aji had developed PTSD because of the previous incident, but he couldn't offer any advice in the face of this situation.

They were also worried about that kind of danger happening.

In short, Lu Yinzhao didn't have much fun in the following hours.

He didn't leave the swimming pool until he had exhausted most of his strength.

...

When Lu Yinzhao returned home that evening, she vividly recounted the events of the day to Yin Song.

Yin Song frowned upon hearing this and glanced at Lu Wenyan.

Lu Wenyan dared not speak.

Both of them were secretly relieved that it wasn't Zhao Zhao who had the accident, otherwise they would have really gone crazy.

"That Mr. Long added me on WeChat." At the dinner table, Lu Wenyan saw the message notification on his phone.

After hesitating for a moment, I still clicked "accept".

"Sigh, they're all our precious children. Our child survived such a close call, and as parents, we're bound to feel lingering fear. He really should thank our Zhaozhao," Yin Song said.

"He said he wanted to give us money and asked me for my bank card number..." Lu Wenyan said, looking at the message on her phone.

“That works too.” Yin Song put herself in his shoes. If his child were rescued, she would definitely give the other party money, but not only money. She would also do a favor. In the future, no matter what the other party needed her help with, she would try her best to fulfill their request if she could do it.

A child's life cannot be measured in money, and this is the most dignified way parents can think of.

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Wenyan choked suddenly, not knowing what she had seen.

Lu Yinzhao looked at her father curiously and couldn't help but ask, "How much money are you going to give?"

Lu Wenyan looked at his son and then at his wife. "He wants to transfer ten million to me and said he wants to pay a visit so that his son can personally thank Zhaozhao."

puff--

Lu Yinzhao almost spat out his drink too.

How much? Say it again!

Is that fat uncle really that rich?

Although this amount of money is not much for the Lu family, it is extremely rare for an ordinary family to easily come up with ten million.

The fact that the other party was willing to give the Lu family ten million yuan is enough to show how much they value this matter and that they genuinely want to thank the Lu family.

But if I really accept that much money, wouldn't that be... not a good idea?

After all, nobody's money comes from thin air; even the rich earn their money!

Yin Song was taken aback. "What do they do?"

If she comes from a wealthy family, she would know most people in this circle; it's impossible that she hasn't heard of this person.

Lu Wenyan talked to the other party on his phone for a while, then turned around and said, "It's a coal mine owner. He said... we must accept this small token of our appreciation, and that... his family has nothing but money, and if we don't accept the money, they don't know what else to give in return."

Even Yin Song fell silent.

Lu Yinzhao: "..." No wonder.

The stereotype of coal bosses as ruthless and inhumane has been reinforced.
