Chapter 264: Drowning

Xi He suddenly laughed. In this culvert, the laughter sounded particularly harsh.

He kept laughing, laughing until everyone felt their hair stand on end.

"Zhong Kui, right? You really aren't Zhong Xiaoyu. Interesting, you share a body, but keep things from each other. You think you deceived her, actually..." There seemed to be ice knives in Xi He's eyes, "She didn't tell you at all what kind of person I am.

What love? I don't care. The truth of the facts? I don't care! No answer has any meaning to me. I, just want you to be with me." As he spoke, he grinned, revealing an expression like a wild wolf about to hunt.

Zhong Kui, who heard this, had her firm eyes panicked for the first time: "Qi Dongjun is just a bait."

"You finally realized, his life or death doesn't matter at all. As long as you arrive here, I win this game." Xi He's breathing became rapid, his face full of expectation, "Everything is over, you will never leave me again."

The sound of water hitting the inner wall came vaguely from the culvert entrance.

"Flood season!" Qi Fei reacted immediately, "Leave the culvert immediately!" He shouted.

However, Xi He leaned back with force. Because of the dragging of the handcuffs, Qi Fei was brought down to the ground with him.

Qi Fei was held tightly by Xi He, and the two wrestled on the ground.

The others tried to step forward to help, but Qi Fei was anxious and roared: "Don't worry about me, you guys go quickly!"

The speed of the water rising was faster than expected. In an instant, it reached the position of the knees. Qi Fei and Xi He sank and floated in the water, constantly choking on water.

Because of the impact of the water flow, the others tried to grab the two but always failed.

Xi He dragged Qi Fei down like crazy. Qi Fei knew he was delaying time. If they didn't leave, everyone would drown in the culvert.

The water flow became more and more rapid. Feng Yongfu's corpse was rolled up by the undercurrent and soon disappeared into the depths of the dark culvert.

At first, Qi Fei could still struggle to stick his head out to catch his breath, but Xi He wanted to die with him like crazy. Soon, he sank into the water completely. With the rapid water flow and Xi He's dragging, he knew he couldn't hold on for long and would be rolled to the depths of the culvert with Xi He, just like Feng Yongfu's corpse.

Intense exercise consumed oxygen faster. Soon Qi Fei couldn't hold his breath and started choking on water.

The process of drowning was more painful and longer than expected. He couldn't stop the water from surging into his mouth and nose. Death was wrapped in severe pain, raging in all his organs.

In a trance, he saw his mother Xi Zi Yun's face, smiling lovingly and reaching out a hand to him. It turns out that the lantern walk before death is true.

He struggled to free the hand without handcuffs from Xi He's entanglement and tried his best to grab Xi Zi Yun's hand. The moment he touched it, he saw clearly that it was Zhong Kui who dived into the water to save him.

He knew that if Zhong Kui grabbed himself, she would only die with him, so he tried to push her hand away.

But the entanglement with Xi He almost exhausted his strength, and his hand was firmly held by Zhong Kui.

At the same time, another figure appeared beside him, it was Wu Shanqiu. Only she knew where Qi Fei was used to putting the key to the handcuffs.

Soon she found the key from the inner pocket of Qi Fei's jacket.

Jiang Tianyi had already swum to Xi He's side, trying his best to control Xi He while Wu Shanqiu tried to open the handcuffs.

Even for a well-trained police officer, unlocking handcuffs in the dark underwater is a task as difficult as ascending to heaven. Wu Shanqiu groped several times but still couldn't find the keyhole.

Having no choice, she had to drill out of the water to take a deep breath of oxygen before diving down.

At this time, everyone had reached their limit, but no one let go, as if they had made up their minds that if they couldn't save Qi Fei, they would die here together.

Finally, in the roar of the water, that exciting crisp sound came.

Qi Fei only felt his left hand lighten. In the chaotic and blurred state, he saw Xi He in white clothes drifting towards the dark abyss.

This was the last thing he remembered.

"Xiao He, Xiao Fei, where are you?" Mother's voice came, so warm, just like the sunlight shining on Qi Fei at this moment.

A strange fragrance permeated the air. He opened his eyes, and all around was a sea of flowers. The flower color was orange and red echoing the sunset, connecting with the rose-colored clouds on the skyline.

Xi Zi Yun suddenly hugged him from behind. He could feel the warm ups and downs of his mother's chest.

That was an incomparable steadiness, surrounded by his mother's arms.

"Xiao Fei, thank you for believing in Mom," Xi Zi Yun said in his ear.

Qi Fei was already in tears: "I miss you."

The surroundings gradually darkened, and the warmth in the evening breeze was disappearing, blowing more and more violently, blowing the sea of flowers into giant waves.

"Qi Fei, Mom is mine, she will always be mine." Xi He appeared in front of him, accompanied by a cold warning, and Xi Zi Yun, who was hugging Qi Fei, dissipated like smoke in the evening breeze.

Qi Fei wanted to shout to keep her, but couldn't make any sound, and his whole person fell rapidly, falling into a white and cold ground.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw the medicine in the infusion tube dripping down drop by drop.

"You're awake?" Zhong Kui's voice came, and then that face as beautiful as a doll appeared in his sight, so unreal.

"Uh..." Qi Fei wanted to speak, only feeling that his head was about to split, "Where are Shanqiu and Dr. Jiang? Is everyone okay?"

"Don't worry, everyone escaped. The most useless one is you, drowning and falling into a coma."

Just after Zhong Kui finished speaking, Wu Shanqiu's voice came from not far away: "Don't listen to Xiao Kui saying this now. When waiting for the ambulance, she held you the whole time without letting go."

Hug, sea of flowers... Qi Fei remembered the scene in the dream and suddenly understood. It turned out that the warm hug came from Zhong Kui.

"How long have I been in a coma..."

"Not long, just two days. Don't worry, the doctor said there should be no major problems," Zhong Kui said.

"Uh, what about Xi He?" Qi Fei recalled the white figure drifting away, "Did you find him?"

Wu Shanqiu shook her head: "After the tide receded, the search and rescue team found Feng Yongfu's corpse washed out of the culvert, but didn't find Xi He. Neither alive nor dead, it's infuriating."

"Would Xi He want to die? I'm not sure," Zhong Kui said from the side, "That culvert is intricate, there may not be only one exit."

"Do you want to visit Qi Dongjun?" Zhong Kui said suddenly.

"Right... how is he?" Qi Fei asked weakly.

"In the past ten days, Xi He didn't toss Qi Dongjun less. It looks like he really hates him," Zhong Kui said.

At the entrance of the intensive care unit, Lu Man guarded the door with a haggard face. Seeing Qi Fei coming in a wheelchair, she tried her best to stand up: "President Qi has been waiting for you."
