Power and Wealth

Chapter 1029: Impressed

Riverbank.

Dong Xuebing jumped into the water, and everyone on the riverbank was anxious. Even if his body were in top condition, he would not last long in the freezing water, let alone in his current condition. How is he going to save others with his injuries? He should be resting in the hospital now. He is taking a gamble with his life!

“Director Dong!”

“Don’t go!”

“Are you trying to kill yourself?!”

“Has Xiao Dong gone mad?!”

“What are you all doing?! Why didn’t you all stop him?!”

Zhong Zhengwei, Zhan Guiping, and the rest were furious as they looked at those Public Security Bureau officers.

Those officers grumbled in their hearts. All of them know about Dong Xuebing’s combat skills. Who can stop him?

Xie Huilan remained quiet, and Luo Haiting, Liu Hanqing, and the rest looked at the water anxiously.

One second….

Two seconds….

Three seconds….

Dong Xuebing did not surface.

A Public Security Bureau Officer shouted. “Where is the rope?! Bring it over quick!”

“Pull Director Dong up if something goes wrong.” Someone shouted.

“If we cannot let the rope down, tie it one someone and rescue Director Dong first.”

The officers knew Dong Xuebing’s status was different, but they didn’t have any ropes.

In the water.

Dong Xuebing could feel the piercing cold the moment he entered the water. The water felt like salt in his wounds, and the pain caused him to tremble. The below-zero water made his body numb, and his hands and legs could not move freely. However, he could tolerate the pain. Only someone like him, who always endured getting shot, can tolerate this pain. He clenched his teeth and dived several meters while trying his best to open his eyes.

One meter….

Two meters….

Finally, Dong Xuebing saw two officers struggling in the water. Both were around three to four meters deep and tried to swim upwards. Dong Xuebing held his breath and swam toward them. He grabbed them by their collars and swam upwards. These two officers were better swimmers than him, but they could not endure the cold.

Dong Xuebing did not bat an eyelid even when he was shot, and no one else could do that.

Dong Xuebing’s strong willpower plays an important part now.

Both officers were heavy, and Dong Xuebing had to swim slowly toward the surface while dragging them.

Gasp….

Their heads appeared above the water.

“They surfaced!”

“It’s Director Dong!”

“And Old Li!”

“They are safe!”

The Public Security Bureau officers rushed forward excitedly.

Xie Huilan shouted. “Don’t rush over there! Only two people are allowed to go there on their belly!”

The officers stopped. They understood Xie Huilan. The ice might give way if they walked over together. So two of them slowly crawled over to the crack and pulled the two weak officers to the riverbank.

Dong Xuebing did not say anything. He took a deep breath and dived into the water again.

“Director!”

“You must be careful, Director Dong!”

“Be safe!”

Luo Haiting and the rest shouted.

But Dong Xuebing did not hear them. He endured the pain and felt around in the water.

Finally, he spotted two figures again.

It was that middle-aged man and a child. The child had lost consciousness, and that man was trying to smash the thick ice above him. He was struggling, but he was too weak to break the ice.

Dong Xuebing swam over and grabbed that middle-aged man. That man struggled and held on to him tightly, almost causing both of them to sink to the bottom. Dong Xuebing immediately kicked that man away from him and grabbed him by the back of his collar. After that, he grabbed that unconscious child and swam towards the crack.

Hurry up!

I need to be faster!

Some time had passed since the first few people fell into the water. They will die if they are not rescued soon.

Dong Xuebing was going all out. He ignored the pain in his wounds and the piercing cold and tried to swim as fast as possible toward the surface.

They could see the light.

It’s near….

Dong Xuebing reached the surface just when he almost ran out of breath. He panted and inhaled the fresh air.

“They are out!”

“It’s Director Dong!”

“He saved another two people!”

“My Dad! It’s my Dad!”

“That is my daughter! Thank god!”

The family members rushed forward excitedly.

Dong Xuebing pushed the unconscious man and child onto the ice. He saw the officers waiting by the riverbank and pushed them toward them.

The man and child slide on the ice towards the officers.

The officers immediately pulled them onto the riverbank and performed emergency first aid.

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and dived into the water again.

Zhong Zhengwei was speechless. “This Xiao Dong….”

Discipline Inspection Secretary He Shuien was impressed. “Good job!”

Everyone knew Dong Xuebing had done well. So many people could not rescue anyone, and some drowned while trying. But he saved four people within seconds since he entered the water. This is his capability. Even those who hated him had to acknowledge his abilities. He dared to enter the freezing water when no one dared, and he managed to save four people. Everyone was impressed.
