Chapter 568: The Situation is Not Good
No son, no daughter-in-law, and now his wife is unconscious. What is the point of living?
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Wenbin was extremely anxious and said, "Father-in-law, I know you’re sad. But if not for yourself, you have to think about Little Reunion. He’s still so young. Do you want him to be swallowed by the waves with you?"
"Besides, you have to believe in my sister and brother-in-law. They are blessed and surely will be fine."
Shangguan Wenbin continued to persuade Mu Siwu as he pulled him up with force.
Just as Mu Siwu was about to give up on life, Shangguan Wenbin’s words shocked him awake. Looking at Little Reunion in his arms, who was staring at him with those lively eyes, he couldn’t help blushing with embarrassment.
He had been so immersed in his own sorrow that he forgot there was still a little child who needed care. It was wrong, so very wrong.
Mu Siwu berated himself silently and then abandoned the thought of suicide. He tried to stand up holding Little Reunion, but he couldn’t, because he had been kneeling for too long.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wenbin exerted a bit more strength. Along with some other park staff, they helped pull Mu Siwu to his feet.
"Can you walk?" Shangguan Wenbin quietly asked Mu Siwu.
"I can, but I’ll need your help to bring my wife as well."
"Don’t worry, Father-in-law, I won’t leave Mother-in-law behind." As Shangguan Wenbin spoke, he and the others lifted the unconscious Bai Yuhua and headed towards the nearby hill slope.
Just as they left the lakeside, the lake water surged in, submerging the shore.
Standing safely on the small hill, looking at the inundated area, everyone felt grateful.
"Wenbin, thank you!" Mu Siwu thanked Shangguan Wenbin. If it hadn’t been for him, he would have been drowned by now.
If things had gone that way, their entire family might have perished here today.
"Father-in-law, there’s no need to thank me." Shangguan Wenbin waved his hand and frowned as he looked at the increasingly turbulent waves of the lake.
He had been to the seaside and witnessed tides, but his intuition told him these lake waves seemed strange. Could there really be a monster in the lake?
If that were true, could Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng still have a hope of survival?
The more Shangguan Wenbin thought about it, the more he worried. At that moment, the sound of a siren reached everyone’s ears. Hearing the sound, everyone was delighted and said, "119 is here!"
Earlier, Shangguan Wenbin and the park staff had called for help; the arriving people should be the rescue team.
However, with the lake surface swelling fiercely and Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng already submerged, the situation might be dire.
Inside the lake, Jiang Xue had no idea what was happening outside; she was solely focused on fighting the Water Monster, trying desperately to kill it quickly to rescue Mu Qiancheng.
Nevertheless, although the Water Monster wasn’t fully transformed, it had been living for many years. The lake was its territory, and it wasn’t so easy to kill.
Even with spiritual power protecting her, Jiang Xue found it hard to kill the beast quickly. As for Mu Qiancheng, he had already fainted due to Jiang Xue’s battle with the Water Monster.
After battling the Water Monster for a while, Jiang Xue was utterly exhausted. As the Water Monster tired too, they temporarily halted the fight. At this moment, Little Fox’s voice echoed in her ears, "Woman, your man’s condition is not good."
