"If you really harm those two children, not only you, but your family will also be affected, don't you think? Why bother!"
She spoke as she moved closer to her.
With her hands behind her back, she guided Chen De and Lu Jingnian to slowly approach Li Qin from both sides, thus saving the two children.
Li Qin was momentarily lost in thought after hearing her words.
Xiang Wanwan knew her words had worked, so she continued, "Chen De is just an old and ugly man. If you leave this island, with your looks, what kind of man can't you find?"
"No! You're lying to me, I can't get out at all!"
She suddenly became agitated.
Xiang Wanwan slowly stepped forward and immediately reassured her, "You can get out, of course you can! I'll have Lu Jingnian send a boat to take you out. He's a high-ranking official, his word carries weight!"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared on Li Qin's face, and she even relaxed her movements a little.
Just then, Chen De and Lu Jingnian suddenly stepped forward from both sides, grabbed the two children's hands, and gently pulled them into their arms, away from Li Qin.
Li Qin reacted immediately, but due to the sudden pull, her body became unstable and tilted towards the shore.
When Xiang Wanwan saw that the two children had been rescued, she relaxed completely and didn't notice Li Qin's actions in front of her at all.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the two children, a "plop" sound was heard.
Li Qin grabbed Xiang Wanwan's sleeve, and before Xiang Wanwan could even cry out, the two of them fell into the sea together.
Hearing the voice behind him, Lu Jingnian immediately turned around and glanced at the spot where Xiang Wanwan had just been standing, but it was empty.
His heart sank suddenly. Without thinking, his body reacted first, and he immediately leaped into the sea.
With a "plop," Wang Sao, who was just immersed in the joy of getting her things back, felt a figure flash past her. When she saw it clearly, her blood rushed to her head.
She stumbled to the shore, and as she looked at the churning waves in the sea, fear instantly overwhelmed her.
Sister Wang cried out loudly:
"Wanwan!"
Wanwan absolutely cannot have anything happen to her, otherwise she will never have peace for the rest of her life.
Chen De, who was following behind, immediately stepped forward and stood on the shore, shouting loudly, "Commander!"
Lu Jingnian jumped into the sea, and the icy water instantly soaked through his clothes, but the biting cold was nothing compared to the panic surging in his chest.
His gaze kept searching for that familiar figure in the waves.
Lu Jingnian's mind went blank, with only one thought in mind—she couldn't be hurt.
Suddenly, he felt his thigh being pulled, and then he dove down and saw Xiang Wanwan struggling in the sea.
He grabbed Xiang Wanwan's slender waist and pulled her to the surface of the water.
"Phew! Thank goodness I'm not dead."
Xiang Wanwan, who had just emerged from the water, was breathing heavily.
She was filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
