Chapter 73 The Rescue Incident
At that moment, Old Lady Qian, who was sitting on the ground, started to dart around with her triangular eyes.
She looked at Gu Baobao, who was kneeling there saving lives.
This girl... is really pretty!
A pretty face is a pretty face, a great figure is a great figure, and when she's wet... tsk.
Moreover, I think I just heard Li Jinhua call out something like "little miracle doctor"?
Old Mrs. Qian immediately started calculating in her mind.
Her youngest son, Cai Jianguo, is already twenty-five and still hasn't found a wife.
Why?
He was lazy and greedy, and also had a fat head and big ears. He was just coasting along in the army and nobody paid any attention to him.
If only... if only this beautiful girl could marry Jianguo...
Old Mrs. Qian's eyes lit up.
This girl is a miracle doctor, she must be rich!
If you marry into this family, your dowry will definitely be generous!
In the future, with a miracle doctor as her daughter-in-law in the family compound, everyone will look up to her.
Her youngest son will also be able to enjoy the good fortune!
As for how to get her married...
Looking at her grandson Gou Dan, who was still unconscious on the ground, Old Lady Qian suddenly had a vicious and shameless thought.
If Gou Dan can't be saved, or if he develops some chronic illness... wouldn't he just become a burden on this girl?
She demanded compensation!
Can't afford to pay?
Then compensate the person!
Become her son Jianguo's daughter-in-law!
Even if she's saved... she'll still cause trouble!
They said it was because of this girl that her grandson fell into the water!
Anyway, they were the only ones there at the time, so who could say for sure?
Having made up her mind, Old Lady Qian gathered her emotions, then suddenly plopped down on the beach, slapped her thighs, and began to wail and waile:
"Oh dear! My poor Gou Dan! My poor grandson! It's all your fault—!!"
She suddenly pointed at Gu Baobao, who was undergoing CPR, her voice sharp and piercing:
"If you hadn't been wandering around this beach, would my dog, Gou Dan, have accidentally fallen into the sea while looking after you?!"
You wicked devil! If anything happens to my grandson, you'll have to pay! You'll have to compensate the entire Cai family!
As she wailed, she glanced at the reactions of those around her out of the corner of her eye, then looked at Gu Baobao's figure, her curves clearly visible after getting wet, and became even more certain:
This girl looks easy to manipulate!
She looks so soft, she must have a soft personality too!
Make a scene, scare them a little, and maybe they'll agree!
Everyone around was stunned!
They looked at Gu Baobao, who was still desperately trying to save people, and then at Old Lady Qian, who was sitting on the ground distorting the truth and repaying kindness with enmity. They simply couldn't believe their ears!
This...this is just too shameless!
That girl was clearly saving someone!
How did he become a scourge?!
Should we still compensate?
What should be compensated?
Anyone with eyes can see that this old woman is trying to extort money from people!
He's trying to get close to that girl!
"Old woman Qian! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Li Jinhua was the first to speak out, and she stood up angrily.
"Comrade Gu was clearly saving your dog, Gou Dan! How can you turn around and accuse him?!"
"That's right! We all saw it! Gou Dan went to play in the water at the beach and accidentally slipped in!"
"That girl jumped in to save someone! How can you be so shameless!"
Several women who were also gathering seafood spoke up, expressing their indignation on behalf of Gu Baobao.
When Old Lady Qian saw someone arguing back, she not only didn't stop, but instead cried even louder and harder, and started rolling around on the ground:
"Oh dear! You're all bullying this old woman! You're all siding with outsiders! My Gou Dan... open your eyes and look! Your grandma has been bullied to death... I can't live like this anymore..."
While throwing a tantrum, she secretly winked at a fat, big-eared man who was running towards them from a short distance away.
That man was her youngest son, Cai Jianguo.
Cai Jianguo was lying in his dormitory in the barracks when he heard that his mother was making a scene at the beach, so he quickly ran over to see what was going on.
As soon as he got closer, the first thing he saw was Gu Baobao kneeling on the beach.
The soaked dress clung to her body, outlining her breathtaking curves.
Her wet hair clung to her fair cheeks and neck, and her face was so beautiful that he stared at her for a moment, almost drooling.
When Old Lady Qian saw her son arrive, she immediately rushed over, grabbed Cai Jianguo's leg, and wailed:
"Jianguo! You've finally arrived! You must stand up for your nephew! It's this good-for-nothing! She caused our Gou Dan to fall into the water!"
If Gou Dan does anything wrong... she'll have to compensate! She'll have to become your wife! She'll have to give the Cai family a whole litter of grandsons as atonement!
Her abacus beads were practically about to hit Gu Baobao's face.
Upon hearing this, Cai Jianguo's eyes widened even more.
This girl is so beautiful, she's like an angel... she's going to be his wife?
Is there really such a good thing?!
He immediately followed his mother's lead, puffing out his enormous belly, putting on a victim's face, pointing at Gu Baobao, and speaking in a greasy voice:
"Yes! It was you! You ruined my nephew! Let me tell you, if anything happens to my nephew, you'll be held responsible! You'll have to pay for it! You'll have to pay for his life!"
His small eyes were filled with lewd and obscene light as he scanned Gu Baobao's soaking wet body.
The surrounding chatter grew louder, but many people also showed expressions of fear and helplessness.
This old woman and her youngest son were notorious scoundrels in the family compound.
They're unreasonable, throw tantrums, and do all sorts of shameless things.
Most people don't want to mess with them.
Listening to the shameless remarks of the mother and son, and seeing Cai Jianguo's disgusting eyes, Gu Baobao gritted her teeth in anger, but her hands did not stop moving at all.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation must not be interrupted.
She had to save the child first.
As for the mother and son... she'll settle accounts with them when she has time!
Lu Zhanming stood next to Gu Baobao, his face so dark it could drip water.
He looked at the ugly faces of Granny Qian and Cai Jianguo, and listened to their slanderous accusations that twisted the truth.
And then there was Cai Jianguo's filthy gaze at the baby... The anger in my chest surged like a volcano, almost bursting out of my body!
His baby, who risked his life to save people, was soaked to the bone and his arms were shaking from exhaustion, yet he was slandered and coveted by such filthy things?!
Lu Zhanming's fists clenched so tightly at his sides that they cracked, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to immediately throw the mother and child into the sea.
cannot.
The baby is still saving lives, so he can't make things worse and distract the baby.
But he won't let them off easy.
Lu Zhanming stepped forward, standing between Gu Baobao and the mother and child, completely blocking Cai Jianguo's disgusting gaze.
Then, he took off his shirt; he had only been wearing a thin military green shirt because he was in a hurry to chase after the baby.
Without hesitation, he draped his shirt, still warm from his body, over Gu Baobao's soaked, curvaceous body.
His movements were quick and light, yet carried an irresistible force.
The oversized shirt covered Gu Baobao from her shoulders to her hips completely, leaving only her slender calves and wet feet exposed.
Lu Zhanming carefully straightened her clothes, and even squatted down to cover her legs with the hem of his shirt.
But everyone could see clearly that he was declaring ownership through his actions, and was shutting out all covetous eyes.
His little girl could only be looked at by him and protected by him.
No one can touch it.
Gu Baobao felt a warmth spread through her body as Lu Zhanming's shirt, carrying his scent and body heat, enveloped her.
She paused for a moment, then looked up at Lu Zhanming.
His profile was taut, his jawline sharp as a knife, and his cold gaze swept over Old Lady Qian and her son like a wolf guarding its prey.
But when he looked down at her, the coldness in his eyes melted instantly, leaving only heartache and comfort.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He mouthed the words silently.
Gu Baobao's heart skipped a beat, and a warm, unfamiliar current surged through her, diluting some of her anger and grievances.
She nodded and pressed even more intently.
One, two, three...
"Cough—! Ugh—!!"
While Old Lady Qian was still slapping her thigh and howling, and Cai Jianguo was still plotting how to get his hands on this pretty girl, Gou Dan, who had been lying silently on the ground,
Suddenly, he started coughing violently, and then with a "whoosh," he vomited a large amount of seawater and filth!
Immediately afterwards, his faint but clear sobs rang out.
"Waaah... milk... waaah..."
woke up!
The child has been saved!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully performing a drowning first aid, saving the child's life and preventing serious long-term consequences! Merit points +20! Host is awesome!]
Defu's cheerful voice echoed in Gu Baobao's mind.
Gu Baobao breathed a long sigh of relief, and only then did she feel the soreness in her arms that had been tense all along.
She was so exhausted that she sat down on the beach, panting heavily.
The surrounding crowd erupted in cheers and applause.
"They're saved! They're really saved!"
"Comrade Gu is amazing!"
"He's a miracle doctor! He can bring someone back to life even if they're about to die!"
