"Of course, we have to find Liu Lili and convince her..."
Before Zhao Yuan could even finish, a wail of utter despair echoed from the lakeshore in the park.
The three of them followed the sound with their eyes and saw Liu Lili at the edge of the lake. "Son, hang on! Mommy's coming to save you!" she cried, leaping into the water.
But Liu Lili couldn't swim. She flailed in the water a couple of times before she started to sink.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, people on the shore rushed to help. Some jumped into the lake and swam toward the drowning Xiaochengcheng, while others grabbed Liu Lili and started dragging her back to land.
Tears streamed down Chen Kaihua's face. "This is the scene from two years ago, when Xiaochengcheng drowned," he said. "Even though I wasn't here, I've heard Lili recount it countless times."
