Chapter 2372 - 2372:

Haha, in such a tense and exciting moment, Du Shali blurted out, calling for Liu Zhizhong, not Lu Jie.

Doesn't this explain something? Hehe...

Liu Zhizhong and Lu Jie heard it and were a bit excited, after all, Du Shali had hooked a big fish, right?

So, Liu Zhizhong dropped his fishing rod and ran directly towards Du Shali.

Although Lu Jie also stood up, her response speed was not as fast as Liu Zhizhong's!

Liu Zhizhong quickly rushed past Lu Jie, heading over there, just as Lu Jie had only just put down her fishing rod and stood up.

But after Lu Jie had run just a couple of steps, there came Du Shali's startled shout, followed by a splash and the sound of someone falling into the water.

Immediately after, there were Du Shali's screams and cries for help.

Liu Zhizhong could see it clearly, Du Shali's super carp rod was bent like a big bow, she got so excited and accidentally slipped, falling into the water.

At that moment, Du Shali lost her fishing rod. The rod was dragged by the big fish, plunging into the water, speeding to the deeper part of the stream, and soon even the handle of the rod was out of sight.

Du Shali was struggling in the water, shouting for help, panic-stricken.

The water surface, with huge ripples, was troubled in waves, the whole fish pool was alarmed, several large clusters of bubbles emerged, like boiling water. Obviously, there were big silver carp venting and sinking madly due to being severely frightened.

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong didn't have time to think much, he didn't even take off his clothes and pants, he just jumped into the water and swam towards Du Shali with all his strength.

Before long, Liu Zhizhong had wrapped one arm around Du Shali's slender waist, then swam hard towards the shore.

Du Shali was extremely tense at this time from the submersion, clinging tightly to Liu Zhizhong's neck with both hands, even her legs were wrapped around his waist, the position of the two in the water was extraordinarily ambiguous, hehe...

Of course, swimming was a bit strenuous for Liu Zhizhong, but he could understand and handle it.

By the time Lu Jie ran over from the other side, Liu Zhizhong was already holding Du Shali ashore.

Du Shali was soaked through, originally dressed in a cool little skirt, now sticking closely to her, showing off a sexy and mature figure, even the contour of her bra and matching sexy little underwear were semi-hidden, highly tempting.

She had swallowed some water, her face pale, her beautiful hair completely drenched, and she kept shivering and saying she was cold.

Liu Zhizhong quickly held her, together with Lu Jie, brought her back to the Unimog RV.

He put Du Shali in the bedroom, then immediately turned on the air conditioner for heating, while asking Lu Jie to help Du Shali take off her clothes and wipe her body.

As for Liu Zhizhong, he of course exited the room shortly after and closed the door.

In this situation, he could rescue Du Shali, but he couldn't personally care for her, as it might cross a line.

Avoiding intimacy between men and women, Liu Zhizhong still adhered strictly to this principle.

He went outside, looking at his wet clothes and all, feeling a bit depressed because he had lost his phone.

Earlier, his phone was in his pants pocket, and because he jumped in to save someone, he didn't have time to take it out, and it was nowhere to be found in the water.

But the phone was a minor issue.

Liu Zhizhong hurriedly took out a towel from his suitcase, wiped himself down in the RV's living room, then changed into new clothes.

He took the wet clothes to the water's edge, washed them, and hung them up.

This early summer weather, the sun was still decent, they could dry in just one day.

After hanging up the clothes, Liu Zhizhong returned to the RV, and checking through the door, asked about the situation inside.

By this time, Du Shali had calmed down and changed into a new dress, said she wanted to lie down a bit longer in the air-conditioned room to relax, it was truly terrifying, if not for Liu Zhizhong, she would have drowned, she was so grateful to him.

Liu Zhizhong, of course, said it's okay, as long as she's safe.

Lu Jie then came out too, saying let's go and find Chief Du's fishing rod, it's a specially made rod for champions, maybe the fish is still on it!

Upon hearing this, Du Shali in the room was also quite excited, saying, "Yes, yes, Liu Zhizhong, you two go on and find the fishing rod, it must be a big fish! You must get it back! I'll come out once I feel better!"

Liu Zhizhong chuckled and said, "Alright, Chief Du, you rest first, Lu Jie and I will go look for it!"

After speaking, the two of them left the RV and went searching for the fishing rod.

Meanwhile, inside the RV, Du Shali let out a deep breath, feeling much better in the warm air from the heater.

In her heart as a woman, she felt a bit vain. After all, she was saved by such a handsome guy like Liu Zhizhong, how strong he was, that reaction speed, that dive, that swift swimming, so fast, so fast!

However, Du Shali also felt a lingering fear, because her fishing spot was almost three meters deep, when she fell, her feet couldn't touch the bottom, and she was falling straight down!

Fortunately, there was Liu Zhizhong!

At this moment, Du Shali indeed had a secret crush on Liu Zhizhong... she even wondered, what method could she use to win him over? Hehe...

As for Lu Jie, she followed Liu Zhizhong to the water's edge, looking at the area near the fish pool, where there were still quite a few fish bubbles.

She couldn't help but say, "Seems like the fish here are still bold, only after a while of disturbance, they gathered back again."

Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "Yes, it's too seldom that people come to fish here. How about it, Mr. Lu, why don't you fish here first, while I go find the rod that got dragged into the water?"

Lu Jie said, "Sure! After all, our fishing competition still needs to continue, right?"

"Haha, of course! As you say, Mr. Lu!"

"Hehe..."

Lu Jie laughed, feeling pleasantly satisfied...

Right away, she sat back down, pinched some bait onto her hook, and continued her journey of seeking out large fish.

As for Liu Zhizhong, he started searching along the water's edge.

With the fish dragging the rod into the water, eventually, the buoyancy of the rod would wear the fish out, causing it to lose its struggle and drag the rod back to the shore, likely heading to an area with obstacles, as dictated by animal instinct.

Therefore, if Liu Zhizhong didn't see it on the opposite bank, it must be somewhere along this bank. Because here, there are many areas with obstacles!

Smoking a cigarette, Liu Zhizhong searched towards the dam for a while but didn't find it.

So, he turned back in the opposite direction, past Lu Jie, and continued searching upstream.

Sure enough, less than 150 meters from their original camp, in a shallow bay area, Liu Zhizhong spotted the special carp rod floating on the water's surface, not far away, the float was still bobbing.

Clearly, the fish was still on the hook, neither did it break the line nor did the hook come loose. However, the rod was still a good fifteen meters away from the water's edge!
