I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 747 - 510 All-Out Attack
Xia Liang's kite had become a spectacle in the park. It was so impressive that even the security guards tasked with maintaining order came over to provide a protective escort for him, asking the crowd to keep their distance.
After all, this young man performing kite magic was essentially giving their park free publicity, which could attract more visitors in the future. It was even possible that this place could become a hotspot for internet-famous photo ops. In this day and age, examples of the internet celebrity economy boosting local livelihoods were common. The viral Ramen Brother was a perfect example; his village had transformed into an Internet-Famous Economic Village where villagers, capitalizing on the popularity, started businesses and saw their incomes increase significantly.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, a raft silently pushed off from the shore. A young woman in a white dress vigorously paddled across the water, heading toward the center of the lake.
The park's centerpiece was a massive natural lake that stretched hundreds of meters in every direction. Signs posted along the shore prohibited swimming and boating. On a normal day, park security would patrol the area to prevent anyone from entering the water. At this moment, however, Xia Liang's kite had captured the attention of all the guards. Combined with the fact that the raft was launched from a secluded spot, no one noticed it at first.
By the time someone spotted it, the raft was already nearly a hundred meters out.
"Holy crap, look! Someone's paddling a raft in the lake!"
"Hey, come back to shore! You're not allowed in the lake."
"You, the woman on the raft! I'm warning you, get back here! Paddling is forbidden!"
A sharp-eyed security guard glimpsed the figure and the raft on the lake. His face paled as he rushed to the water's edge, wildly gesturing and shouting at the woman. At the same time, the guard grabbed his walkie-talkie and called for the other guards, telling them to help get the woman to shore.
However, upon hearing the guards' shouts, the woman didn't turn back. Instead, she paddled with even more force toward the center of the lake.
Simultaneously, Xia Liang, who was flying his kite in the park square, also noticed the commotion. He scanned the area and realized the crowd around him had grown far too large, creating a potential safety hazard. With that, he decided to end his kite magic.
But just as he was about to reel in his kite, urgent cries erupted from the shore.
"Oh no, someone jumped into the lake! Help!"
"Call the police! Someone jumped in!"
"What's wrong with that woman? We just told you to come ashore! Why would you jump into the lake over that?!"
More and more people were drawn by the disturbance, and they all swarmed toward the lake to see what was happening.
As the crowd around him thinned, Xia Liang could also see the situation in the lake. An empty raft was floating in the center, and a person was struggling in the water beside it. It was winter, and the lake was ice-cold. Furthermore, the center of the lake was several hundred meters from the shore. At this point, even if the Immortals themselves arrived, they would struggle to reach the person in time to save them.
The only hope would be a speedboat that could quickly reach the spot, but there were no speedboats in the park's lake.
Liu Tongtong's camera was also aimed at the center of the lake, her expression changing. "This is bad, someone jumped into the lake!" she shouted anxiously.
"Damn, what's with this woman, jumping into the lake at a time like this!"
"And she went all the way to the center! Even a rescue team won't make it in time!"
"Exactly! Even a good swimmer would be useless. It's too far. By the time anyone could swim out there, the person in the water would be long gone!"
"This woman is just looking to die. It's over for her now."
The viewers in the live stream were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Everyone knew that in this situation, unless a miracle happened, no one could save that woman. The incident had occurred so suddenly that it caught everyone completely off guard.
"Call for help!" Xia Liang turned to Liu Tongtong beside him and shouted.
Snapping back to reality, she quickly took out her backup phone and dialed the fire department. "Hello? Someone jumped into the lake at Ice River Park! You have to hurry and save them! The coordinates? It's Ice River Park in Qingyun. A woman took a raft to the center of the lake and just jumped in."
"Yes, okay, got it."
Liu Tongtong hung up, then immediately dialed the number for emergency medical services, repeating the same information before ending the call.
That was all she could do. The woman who jumped was clearly desperate; she obviously didn't want to live. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to jump in the center of the lake, giving those on shore no chance of rescuing her.
Meanwhile, Xia Liang was rapidly reeling in his line. In just a few dozen seconds, he had pulled the kite, which had been flying dozens of meters in the air, back down to the ground.
Once the kite landed, it transformed back to its half-meter length. Xia Liang took a deep breath, clutched the kite, and ran toward the lake. The situation was urgent; he couldn't be bothered with anything else. He didn't know if the woman was suffering from emotional distress or some other problem, but she was a life, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her drown.
At the fire command center, Captain Cao Xingde received the alert. He immediately organized a team, and they set off for Lake Heart Park in their fire truck.
