Nevertheless, she forced herself to get to the edge of the bridge as quickly as possible.

Standing there and looking down, I could see a car not far away that was half-submerged. It looked like a small island surrounded by giant waves, and it looked very dangerous.

Thinking of Chen Xiuwen still trapped in that car, her life hanging in the balance, a strong sense of mission welled up within Shen Xuan, prompting her to make an immediate decision—no matter how dangerous it was, she could not stand idly by.

So she quickly rolled up the two sleeves of her clothes, mentally preparing herself to jump into the sea to rescue him.

Seeing this, Guan Chengxin quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Are you crazy? How could you possibly succeed in saving someone by jumping down from such a height? Besides, the weather is so cold now, the seawater must be freezing cold!"

He tried to reason with her and dissuade her from this crazy idea.

However, despite the other party's earnest persuasion, Shen Xuan struggled desperately to break free from Guan Chengxin's firm grip on her arm, and replied in a firm voice: "I know it's dangerous to do this, but I owe Lu Yuchen too much. His mother is in crisis right now, and I can't just sit idly by and let things get worse."

After saying this, Shen Xuan's eyes revealed an unprecedented determination.

"You're going to die!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Chengxin practically roared out those words.

He knew all too well what the consequences would be if the other person actually jumped, so he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to persuade him.

However, just as he finished speaking, he discovered that the woman beside him had already jumped into the rolling waves without hesitation.

Seeing this, Guan Chengxin was extremely anxious, but he knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.

So he quickly jumped into the turbulent sea, hoping to catch up with Shen Xuan as soon as possible and provide assistance.

In no time, a large crowd of onlookers had gathered around the accident site, and the once wide and spacious bridge quickly became congested.

People gathered around, some taking out their phones to call the police, while others pointed and offered their opinions.

At this moment, the car that had fallen into the water was slowly sinking into the deeper water, and the survivors inside were struggling with all their might to try to escape this deadly place.

Through the broken car window, one could vaguely see someone struggling to squeeze out, bearing obvious injuries but still clinging to their last hope. Inside the car, another person, bound tightly, was unable to move and could only watch helplessly as their life was slowly extinguished.

Just when everyone thought the situation was not optimistic, Shen Xuan finally swam to the vicinity of the target location with her tenacious will.

She then risked her own safety to dive underwater and find the unconscious woman, and then pulled her out of the car that was about to be completely submerged in the sea.

Perhaps due to Chen Xiuwen's large size and the stiffness caused by prolonged soaking, even Shen Xuan, who is usually in good health, felt an unprecedented fatigue and weakness at this moment.

Chan Sau-man seemed to have suddenly lost all sensation. After struggling in the water for a few moments, she became completely still.

This made it extremely difficult for Shen Xuan to swim back to shore.

As her strength was gradually depleted, she felt extreme oxygen deprivation, which made the sense of danger surge in like a tide, making it hard to breathe.

In such dire circumstances, she could only use her last bit of strength to lift her heavy, leaden eyelids and gaze at the distant coastline that seemed forever out of reach. She couldn't help but secretly wonder: perhaps today would be the end of her life.

However, just when she was about to give up, Guan Chengxin's figure appeared in her field of vision. In that instant, it was as if a lamp of hope was lit in her heart, so she did her best to drag the unresponsive Chen Xiuwen towards him.

As for how I got back to land, my memory of that time is hazy and blank.

The only thing she clearly remembers is that when she regained consciousness, she found herself lying quietly on a white hospital bed, wearing a patient gown, surrounded by the sounds of medical equipment.

Unfortunately, this accident did not bring a happy ending for everyone.

Chan Sau-man ultimately did not survive and passed away.

As for herself, she almost followed in her companions' footsteps to another world.

After struggling to adjust her eyes to the light, the first things she noticed were the blurry figures of the people around her and Li Siyuan, who was standing not far away with his face full of anger.

He was angrily berating the other doctors and nurses in the room, as if blaming these professionals for failing to save the precious life.

Upon hearing a faint cough coming from the direction of the hospital bed, the man immediately turned his gaze in that direction.

Upon noticing the patient's call, he waved away all the unimportant people in the room and then walked straight to where Shen Xuan was.

At this moment, his face was filled with an expression that was hard to conceal, a mixture of anger and complex emotions.

Despite his efforts to suppress his urge to explode, the emotions burning within him like flames still occasionally slipped from his eyes, sending chills down the spines of onlookers.

Feeling the almost penetrating power rushing towards him, Shen Xuan involuntarily turned his face away, trying to escape this invisible yet intense sense of oppression.

At this moment, for Li Siyuan, there was probably nothing that would make him feel more relieved than strangling himself.

After all, it was her rash actions that almost led to an irreparable tragedy.

"Shen Xuan, you're really something! I've only been gone a few days and you've already caused such a huge mess."

He stood on high, looking at her with an air of authority, his tone stern and displeased.

His well-fitting suit accentuated his innate aloofness, giving him an unapproachable air.

"I'm just doing what I think is right. What does that have to do with you, President Li?"

Her voice was firm, and she knew in her heart that he could not understand her decision. He would only think that she was acting on her own initiative, trying to be a hero, and even willing to risk her own life to save someone like Chen Xiuwen.

"It has nothing to do with you? Fine, I shouldn't have meddled. I rushed back to see you, and this is the attitude you get."

After saying this, his face instantly turned cold, and the temperature in his eyes plummeted to freezing point. He turned to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Xuan steeled her resolve and shouted, "I don't need your help in the first place. Go back and be with your Han Xin! I didn't beg you to come back to see me, so what are you pretending for!"

Her words were sharp as blades, piercing through the surrounding air and causing his decisive steps forward to come to an abrupt halt.
