"This time things have really changed a lot. Take this chip, for example. In our hands, it's nothing, but in the hands of the intelligence team, it's a different story!"
Hearing everyone's changed opinion of the intelligence team, Qiao Gaoyang felt that this mission was truly worthwhile. When he got back, he would have to have a good talk with his boss about it. This was something that needed to improve the intelligence team's image in the military!
The return journey will take some time, and at this point, we happen to pass through a small village.
Through the car window, you can see the rushing water along the riverbank.
"This river is quite steep, and the current looks very rapid..."
Before the soldier could finish speaking, everyone in the vehicle noticed that someone seemed to be struggling on the surface of the river—
"Help!"
"Help me!"
"Help!"
"Has someone fallen into the water?" the soldier in the vehicle asked.
"Stop the car!" Qiao Gaoyang shouted suddenly.
The driver was so startled that he instinctively slammed on the brakes.
Before the military vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Qiao Gaoyang had already opened the door. He practically leaped out, rushed to the riverbank, and jumped in without a second thought!
Because of this unexpected turn of events, several military vehicles stopped at the same time—they were all soldiers, and naturally they had to protect the people and rescue those who had fallen into the water, which could be considered a form of protection.
"Second Brother! Be careful!" After realizing what was happening, Su Yueya rushed out of the car and came to the riverbank, her eyes fixed on Qiao Gaoyang, who was swimming towards the woman who had fallen into the water.
"The current is so strong, will Comrade Qiao be alright?"
"Comrade Qiao seems to be a good swimmer, so he should be fine. The person who fell into the water is a woman, and Comrade Qiao should be strong enough. It would be better if we helped her from the shore."
As soldiers, they remained relatively calm and rational in this dangerous situation.
Su Yueya knew that Qiao Gaoyang was an excellent swimmer, but watching her second brother move forward in the swift current, she couldn't help but feel worried for him.
"Be careful!" Su Yueya shouted.
Qiao Gaoyang quickly approached the struggling woman. He arrived just in time—a second before she fainted, he caught her and stopped her from falling.
He controlled the woman with one hand and used the other hand to paddle, leading the two of them to the riverbank.
The water flow is too rapid, creating significant resistance.
Just swimming to near the riverbank almost exhausted Qiao Gaoyang's strength. Moreover, the unconscious woman was of no help and became a pure obstacle, which further depleted Qiao Gaoyang's energy, causing him to gradually lose strength.
As we get closer to the shore, the exhaustion becomes more and more severe...
"He's dying! You all need to go down and help!" Su Yueya shouted, urgently urging the other soldiers around her to help.
Fortunately, they are already very close to the shore. Judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be any major trouble. As long as the soldiers jump down together, they will definitely be able to bring Qiao Gaoyang and the unconscious woman ashore.
However, before the other soldiers could jump, Qiao Gaoyang mustered his last bit of strength and rushed to a position close to the shore.
"Pull her up first!" Qiao Gaoyang shouted. His lips were pale, and it was clear that he was about to completely collapse from exhaustion.
There's no need to distinguish between first and last; there are enough soldiers on the shore.
Two soldiers pulled the unconscious woman away, and two other soldiers went to pull Qiao Gaoyang away.
"Yueya, she's unconscious!" The first thing Qiao Gaoyang did after getting ashore was to ask Su Yueya to rescue the unconscious woman.
"Lay the person flat first." Su Yueya quickly got into position and directed the soldiers pulling the woman.
She placed her hand near the woman's nose—
She's not breathing!
He needs immediate medical attention!
"Move aside, don't crowd around, keep the air circulating!" Su Yueya knelt beside the woman, clasped her hands together, and began to perform CPR.
"One two one, one two one..."
Meanwhile, a large group of people in the distance heard the commotion by the river and were rapidly approaching.
Are these villagers?
"Sure, but how come so many have suddenly appeared?"
"Stop them!" Qiao Gaoyang said, glancing at Su Yueya who was focused on saving the woman, and thinking that he had to give her space to save the life. "Don't let these villagers get close and interfere with the rescue!"
Since Su Yueya didn't say she was dead and beyond saving, it means there's still a chance, so we have to try to save her again.
What are you doing?
"Yeah, who are you? Why won't you let us get close?"
"Hey? Isn't that the woman lying there, Big Shadow from our village? Big Shadow fell into the water? This...this can't be because she drowned, can it?"
"Oh dear, if Big Shadow drowns, Old Leng will be furious! This girl is so hard to raise, just in time to get married and earn some dowry money, and she dies like this, what a loss!"
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
He could hardly believe what he was hearing. Was this something a normal person would say?
The most terrifying thing is that when that person talked about getting married in exchange for a dowry, all the other villagers around him agreed with him.
There's no hope, no hope. Even if Crescent Moon could revive this girl, how good could her fate be?
Because they needed to conceal their identities while on duty, all the soldiers wore civilian clothes, and the military vehicles were all ordinary vehicles, making it impossible to tell their identities. That's why the villagers who were stopped couldn't recognize them.
The soldier at the front explained to the villagers who were watching.
"Please calm down, everyone. We were just passing by in our car when we saw someone fall into the water, so we rescued her. A doctor is currently treating her, so please don't worry. Please don't get too close and give the doctor enough space to perform the treatment!"
"Yes, everyone just need to keep watching, don't go any further!"
Most villagers are still quite rational, and even if they can't go any further, being in their current position doesn't stop them from watching the excitement and discussing the matter.
"How long have they been trying to resuscitate him? Is he really a doctor? I don't see any reaction from Big Shadow at all."
"It's a good thing it's a female doctor. If it were a male doctor touching and pressing like that, Da Yingzi's innocence would be ruined, and there would be no point in saving her!"
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
His vision went black again. Where did these villagers come from? How could their thinking be so backward?
First, they married off their daughter to exchange for a dowry, then they used CPR to ruin her innocence. It's like they bound her cerebellum while binding her feet, and a whole group of them were bound together!
How can innocence be more important than life?
Does losing one's innocence render a living, breathing girl useless?
"Could he really be dead? Oh dear, someone's dead!"
Before anything was even confirmed, some villagers started shouting, as if things weren't chaotic enough already.
Just then, a young woman appeared...
