Chapter 192 Saving My Sister-in-law
If the people behind her had obeyed the rules, she wouldn't have suffered this fright. One of them almost lost his life because of his recklessness.
Zhang Erqiao and Shi Daqiang looked at each other.
Shi Daqiang quietly increased his driving speed and arrived at the family compound in less than ten minutes.
Xia Mi thanked him, opened the car door and rushed home.
Fortunately, at the moment of falling, someone reached out and grabbed Xia Mi's wrist.
"Comrade, don't be anxious and don't move rashly."
Huo Jingting held Xia Mi's wrist tightly, his handsome face full of anxiety, and the strength in his hands did not decrease at all.
Xia Mi's face was pale. She was hanging in the air with the surging waves below her. She almost fainted when she looked down for the first time.
The sea water has become very turbid due to the rain, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.
She tried her best to stay calm and not move, cooperated with the rescue efforts from above, and quickly escaped from danger.
Just as I came up, there was another plop sound next to me.
The soldiers stationed there have already jumped in to rescue the people.
The man's desire to survive was too strong, and he was in a state of panic. He kept holding on to the soldier tightly and almost dragged him down.
When the people were rescued to the shore, the salesperson and the captain breathed a sigh of relief, but then they started to curse.
"You don't want to live anymore, but we do!"
"You have hair on your ears, right? I've said it all. Because of you, other people were almost dragged down. Two lives were lost at once. Can you take responsibility?"
A man and a woman began to attack in turns.
If someone hadn't protected Xia Mi and the other two in time, they would have lost three lives!
Xia Mi was so frightened just now that her face turned pale and she hasn't recovered yet.
"Comrade, thank you for what happened just now." Xia Mi found the person who had just saved her and discovered that he looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't tell who he looked like specifically.
Huo Jingting hummed softly, "It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."
Looking at the soaked woman, Huo Jingting's gaze froze for a moment. After realizing that his gaze was too presumptuous, he quickly looked away.
My hair was wet and stuck to my cheeks, and the winter rain was so cold that it made my bones ache.
Xia Mi sighed silently, thinking that she was really unlucky today. It was a rainy day, but she also encountered such a bad thing.
Watching the rain that was still not stopping, she had the idea of walking back quickly. She was already soaked anyway, and it would be better to go back and take a hot shower than to suffer the cold wind here and wait foolishly in wet clothes.
Xia Mi had just taken half a step when a jeep drove over from a distance.
Soon the jeep stopped outside the shed, and Shi Daqiang and Zhang Erqiao came down carrying things, apparently to widen the shed.
"Sister-in-law?" When Shi Daqiang saw Xia Mi, who was soaked like a drowned rat, he was stunned at first and thought he was seeing things.
Xia Mi smiled awkwardly, "Da Qiang, are you here to expand the shed?"
"Yes, the guards here reported that there was no place for the people to shelter from the rain, and that someone had just fallen into the sea..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Daqiang's eyes widened. "Could it be that you are the one who fell into the sea?"
"No, I haven't fallen yet." Xia Mi saw that everyone around was looking at her, so she quickly lowered her voice, feeling a little embarrassed.
When Shi Daqiang heard this, he quickly noticed that there were two drowned rats nearby.
Zhang Erqiao urged Shi Daqiang not to be lazy and asked him to come over to help.
"Then I'll go over first, sister-in-law. You can take our car back later. It's easy to catch a cold in wet clothes in this winter."
Xia Mi quickly nodded in agreement.
Huo Jingting noticed the conversation between the two. He glanced at it and noticed Shi Daqiang's military rank. He quickly estimated the level of Xia Mi's husband and guessed that it should be deputy battalion level.
After the shed was widened, Xia Mi's lips turned a little purple from the cold, and she was so cold that she could hardly straighten her waist.
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
Shi Daqiang drove the car over.
Xia Mi got into the car amid everyone's envious gazes.
"Sister-in-law, I just heard that the pedal was broken. Could you be one of the victims?"
Xia Mi felt helpless, "I guess so."
The two men returned to the army and the car was turned off. Before they had time to get out of the car, the back door was opened by someone.
Huo Jingchen got into the car and said, "Drive to the dock to pick someone up."
"Are you going to pick up your sister-in-law? She has already returned to the family compound." Shi Daqiang mistakenly thought that they were going to pick up Xia Mi.
"She's back?" Huo Jingchen felt relieved when he heard the news that Xia Mi was back. He quickly denied it, "I'm not here to pick her up. My eldest brother is here."
Shi Daqiang didn't ask any more questions, he quickly started the car and returned to the dock.
When we arrived at the pier, the rain had gradually subsided and many people had left, leaving only two or three people under the awning.
Huo Jingchen was sitting in the back seat and could see his elder brother through the car window.
Shi Daqiang parked the car outside the shed. Thinking Huo Jingchen would get out, he jumped out first and waited.
Huo Jingchen lowered the car window and said, "Get in the car."
Huo Jingting heard the familiar voice, turned his head, and then walked towards the car.
Shi Daqiang opened the other door for the man, "Comrade, please."
"Thank you." Huo Jingting got in the car. "I haven't seen you for a while. Are you disabled?"
Obviously, the second half of the sentence was directed at Huo Jingchen.
"I came to pick you up in such heavy rain. I'm already doing my best not to blame you for causing me trouble."
Huo Jingting wiped the remaining water stains on the seat with a handkerchief before getting in the car. "Is that the best you can do?"
"Then how do you settle the account of me saving your wife's life?"
After he finished speaking, Huo Jingchen subconsciously looked towards the dock, but did not see Xia Mi. However, he knew his elder brother's temper and knew that he was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.
"What?"
After Xia Mi was taken away just now, it was inevitable that there would be discussions.
Amidst the numerous discussions, Huo Jingting learned of Xia Mi's identity: she was Captain Huo's lover.
There are only a few people with the surname Huo who can serve as battalion commanders on this island. Huo Jingting never thought that the person he just rescued would be his brother's wife.
Looking at Huo Jingchen's puzzled expression, Huo Jingting said nothing, sitting in the back seat and looking straight ahead.
"Huo Ying, the people on the boat just got off the boat to avoid the rain. Several people stepped on the pedal, which broke. Someone fell into the water, and it seems my sister-in-law was one of them..."
Zhang Erqiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, narrated the whole story.
Upon learning that his wife had fallen into the sea, Huo Jingchen could no longer sit still, and worry was almost visible in his eyes.
"Why didn't you mention this just now?"
Zhang Erqiao and Shi Daqiang looked at each other. Didn't they miss the chance along the way? They kept hearing you talking about how great your elder brother is.
Huo Jingchen lost his patience and said, "What are you still standing there for? Go back to the family compound."
Shi Daqiang quickly got into the car and started it.
"What are you doing here this time?" While feeling upset, Huo Jingchen did not forget to inquire about the purpose of his elder brother's sudden visit.
"I was passing through on a business trip and stopped by to see if you were still alive?"
Huo Jingchen seemed to be accustomed to this kind of talk, and his response was equally fierce.
"How can I possibly walk ahead of you?"
