The cold water immediately surrounded him, but his heart was unusually calm.

The water rippled in circles, and Pei Jingchuan's figure quickly disappeared in the water, leaving only the water splashing under the moonlight.

Jiang Yuzhu stood on the shore, clasping his hands and praying silently in his heart.

She knew that Pei Jingchuan was a good swimmer, but on nights like this, even the most familiar waters were full of uncertainty.

The anxiety in Jiang Yuzhu's heart was like a burning flame. She quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed Shen Nian's home number.

The call was quickly connected. Just as Jiang Yuzhu was about to explain the situation, there was a burst of curses on the other end of the phone.

Shen Nian's mother was filled with anger, as if Jiang Yuzhu and Pei Jingchuan had already become unforgivable sinners in their hearts. "You ruthless and unjust people are the ones who ruined our family! Shen Nian's fate is all caused by you! Your hearts are black, and you will have retribution!"

Jiang Yuzhu was disturbed by the angry voice on the other end of the phone. She quickly tried to explain: "Please calm down first. I want to tell you now that I miss her..."

But Shen Nian's mother didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and continued angrily: "You still have the nerve to call! You are just cruel and ruthless. Are you happy to see our family in decline?"

An unknown fire surged in Jiang Yuzhu's heart, and there was a trace of unquestionable calmness in her voice: "Please calm down, Shen Nian just threw water into the river, and now we have rescued her. As for the rest Yes, I think you should know how to deal with it yourself."

Shen Nian's mother's voice fell into silence for a moment, obviously shocked by Jiang Yuzhu's direct and firm words.

After the silence, the atmosphere on the other end of the phone became heavier, but the angry tone had disappeared, replaced by a trace of panic.

"You...what did you say? Shen Nian, she..." Shen Nian's mother finally asked with a trembling voice, obviously shocked by the sudden news.

After speaking, Jiang Yuzhu hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to say anything else.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Nian's mother's voice stopped suddenly, followed by a burst of uncontrollable crying. The sad voice echoed in the silent night air, full of despair.

After Jiang Yuzhu hung up the phone, Shen Nian's mother's cries still echoed in her ears, making her feel a little powerless.

"What happened?" Shen Zhuo's voice came from the side, with urgency in his tone.

In the family crisis, Shen Zhuo tried to stay rational, but Shen Nian's mother's cries made him feel the seriousness of the situation.

Shen Nian's mother's cries gradually turned into angry accusations.

Her voice was choked and filled with hatred: "It's them, that Jiang Yuzhu, who pushed Nian Nian into the river! They want to kill our whole family!"

When Shen Zhuo heard this sudden accusation, his heart was violently shaken. He asked eagerly: "How do you know? Is this true?"

There was a crazy determination in Shen Nian's mother's voice: "I can feel it! That woman has always been malicious to our family, and she has always wanted to get rid of Shen Nian!"

In the family's most painful moments, grief turned to hatred.

Shen Nian's mother's words, although lacking conclusive evidence, became the truth in her heart driven by her emotions.

An inexplicable panic surged in Shen Zhuo's heart. He was well aware of the dispute between his daughter and Jiang Yuzhu, but he never thought that things would develop to such a serious level.

Shen Zhuo's hands were clenched into fists, and every breath was accompanied by anger.

There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, which was constantly irritated and intensified by Shen Nian's mother's words. "How is it possible..." He gritted his teeth, and the anger in his heart almost swallowed up his reason, "This Jiang Yuzhu, she can actually do such a thing!"

He turned around, his eyes as sharp as swords, "We can't just sit there and wait for death! I'll call the police now, and then we'll go over there together!"

Shen Nian's mother nodded in tears. Although her heart was filled with uneasiness, she also felt a bit of strength in the face of her husband's firm attitude.

She wiped away her tears and stood firmly by Shen Zhuo's side.

Shen Nian's father quickly called the police station. His tone was firm and clear: "I want to call the police. Our daughter Shen Nian drowned in the river and is now in critical condition. We suspect that someone deliberately harmed her!"

On the other end of the phone, the police responded equally quickly and professionally, "Please stay calm and tell us your specific location, and we will send someone there immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Nian's father's eyes became firmer. He grabbed his coat and said to Shen Nian's mother, "We are going now. We must see with our own eyes what happened."

The road at night was empty and silent. Shen Nian's parents' vehicle was speeding on the road, with its headlights cutting through the darkness and pointing directly in the direction of the community.

In the car, Shen Nian's father's hand on the steering wheel was tightly clenched, and Shen Nian's mother's heartbeat was beating as fast as a drum.

Their hearts were filled with endless doubts and fears, but more importantly, they were worried about their daughter's safety.

Shen Nian's face kept reappearing in their minds, and every time they thought of possible misfortune, their hearts felt like being cut by a knife.

During the hurried and tangled drive of Shen's parents, the situation in the community was changing rapidly.

The moment Jiang Yuzhu hung up the phone, Pei Jingchuan had already carried Shen Nian from the river onto the road.

His clothes were soaked and clinging to his body, but his eyes remained determined and calm.

Shen Nian lay weakly on the ground, his body shaking constantly. Her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead and cheeks, like a sad shadow in the night.

Her face was as pale as paper, her eyelashes were lowered, and her slightly trembling pupils reflected deep helplessness.

Every cough seemed to consume her remaining strength, and her body leaned forward involuntarily, accompanied by bouts of retching.

Jiang Yuzhu's face didn't show any pity, her eyes were calm.

She glanced at Shen Nian's trembling figure, then turned her head and gently put the coat in her hand on Pei Jingchuan's wet shoulders. Her movements were gentle and considerate, but her eyes revealed an unshakable determination.

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly and glanced at Jiang Yuzhu gratefully, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

He knew that although Jiang Yuzhu didn't show it, what happened that night had a big impact on her soul.

Jiang Yuzhu looked in the direction of Shen Nian and said in a low voice: "I have called the Shen family and they should arrive soon. There is nothing we can do here, let's go."

Pei Jingchuan was silent for a while, and then slowly stood up. His eyes wandered between Shen Nian and Jiang Yuzhu, as if he was weighing something in his mind.

Finally, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuzhu, and he nodded to express his agreement with her decision.
