Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 830: Chapter 873: Slim Chances of Survival

At this moment, the restaurant manager came over, helped the mother up from the ground, and comforted her, ”Ma’am, please rest assured. Our restaurant always has lifeguards on standby. Our lifeguard just went into the water. Please be patient, Miss Ye should be fine!”

”Thank you, thank you...!” Hearing the manager’s words, the mother kept thanking him repeatedly.

Wanting to know the situation of her precious daughter as soon as possible, the mother held little Chu Yi and stood by the side of the boat.

Still, the people who went in to rescue had been down there for a long time, yet there was no news at all! The mother was terrified and paced back and forth on the boat.

Thinking of her daughter who had fallen into the water, and then looking at the little Chu Yi in her arms, the mother remembered Mu Beiting and hurriedly took out her phone from her pocket to call the Mu Family Villa.

The call was quickly connected, and the butler’s voice came from the other side, ”Hello, Mu Family Villa!”

The mother said anxiously, ”Butler? I am your madam’s mother. Can you give me your master’s phone number?”

The butler asked in confusion, ”Isn’t Madam with you now? Why would Madam need the master’s phone number?”

Hearing the butler mention Anxin, the mother’s nose turned sour, and her barely-stopped tears flowed again, ”Anxin... Anxin is in trouble now... So, I want to call your master and have him come over quickly! Otherwise... I’m afraid it will be too late!”

The butler hurriedly asked, ”Madam is in trouble? What happened to Madam?”

The mother anxiously glanced at the lifeguards still in the river and, for the first time, impatiently said, ”It’s a long story, quickly give me your master’s phone number!”

”Okay!” The butler nodded and hurriedly recited Mu Beiting’s phone number for the mother to hear.

Strangely enough, the mother, who never had a good memory, remembered Mu Beiting’s phone number right away this time! After hanging up the call with the butler, she immediately called Mu Beiting.

Unfortunately, the phone rang once and was decisively hung up by Mu Beiting!

Seeing that Mu Beiting wasn’t answering the call, the mother grew more anxious and dialed Mu Beiting’s number several more times.

Unfortunately, the result was the same; Mu Beiting directly hung up on her!

The mother was in utter frustration! She knew this was Mu Beiting’s habit of never answering unfamiliar calls! But... thinking of her daughter who fell into the river, the mother gritted her teeth, found a place to sit down, held little Chu Yi in her left arm, and with her right hand, she typed clumsily on the phone, writing, ’Beiting, I am Anxin’s mother, Anxin is in trouble! Answer the phone quickly!’ The mother never sent text messages, so even typing a few simple words took her quite some time.

As soon as she successfully sent the message, almost the moment it was sent, the phone on the table rang.

Seeing it was Mu Beiting’s number, the mother quickly answered and put it to her ear, ”Hello...!”

Mu Beiting got straight to the point, asking, ”What happened to Anxin?”

The mother, crying, replied, ”Anxin fell into the Yangtze River just now! Several people have already jumped in to save her, but there’s no news at all! I fear...!”

Before the mother could finish speaking, Mu Beiting impatiently asked, ”Where are you now?”

”We’re on that restaurant ship in Jiangbei! Anxin said you’ve brought her here before!” Before the mother could finish speaking, the call was disconnected from Mu Beiting’s side.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the mother knew that Mu Beiting would definitely rush over immediately! Her daughter would surely be fine, she must be fine!

The lifeguards had been searching in the river for several hours; they searched not only near the ship but also far downstream, yet they didn’t see any trace of Ruan Zhitong.

After searching for hours, everyone was exhausted, but they didn’t come up since they were still hoping to continue the search!

The people who were dining on the boat earlier because of the sudden incident lost their appetite and gathered by the boat’s edge to see the latest developments.

At this moment, several military off-road vehicles drove over the beach and stopped by the river! Next, a group of people wearing life jackets got out of the cars and jumped directly into the river without any hesitation.

Not only near the restaurant, but the downstream was also filled with military off-road vehicles; the whole river was filled with lifeguards!

Seeing that someone finally came to take over, the restaurant’s lifeguards sighed in relief and climbed ashore.

When the people in the military off-road vehicles jumped into the river, Mu Beiting and Pete also got out of one of the vehicles! Mu Beiting, with urgency in his steps, boarded the ship, found the mother, and asked with a stern face, ”What’s the situation exactly, how did Anxin fall into the river like this?”

”We... we had just finished having lunch and were about to leave! Unexpectedly, a crazy woman suddenly rushed over; I heard Anxin say that crazy woman seemed to be Su Yuexin’s mother! She tried to hurt us with a fruit knife at the time! Because I was holding little Chu Yi, Anxin was worried little Chu Yi would get hurt, so she let me take little Chu Yi and leave first, and call you! I never thought that as soon as I got off the boat, I would hear the sound of someone falling into the water, and when I turned around, Anxin had already fallen!” The mother recounted the loss in detail, from Ruan Zhitong falling into the water; she had been crying until now, her eyes already swollen from crying.

”Pete, tell them, no matter what method they use, they must bring the person back for me! Whether alive or...” At this point, the pain in Mu Beiting’s eyes was hard to describe; he gritted his teeth and withheld it for a long time, then snarled out the words he least wanted to say, ”Dead or alive!”

”I understand!” Pete said as he left the ship.

”Beiting, I’m sorry, I don’t know how this could happen! It’s my fault, I couldn’t protect my daughter!” The mother tightly hugged little Chu Yi in her arms, burying her entire face into his belly.

Mu Beiting irritably comforted, ”Now is not the time for guilt and self-blame, let’s find the person first and talk about it later!”

”Anxin has already been in the water for several hours, and she can’t swim, maybe... perhaps...!” Although very unwilling to admit it, it was undeniable that no normal person could be in the water for several hours and still be safe and sound.

Mu Beiting cast a vexed look at the mother! His face was as dark as it could be!

As if completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere around, little Chu Yi, who had been held in his mother’s arms all this while, became excited and waved his little hands at Mu Beiting, asking to be picked up upon seeing him.

Looking at his innocent, lively, and adorable daughter smiling, Mu Beiting, despite feeling incredibly frustrated inside, couldn’t help but put on a smile, bringing her into his arms and giving her a kiss on her little cheek!
