Chapter 66 They've Actually Been Walking for Quite a While Now
Five minutes had passed.
Song Bing was filled with confidence, his expression confident and composed.
Ten minutes had passed.
More and more people gathered on the shore, and Ding Xin's brow furrowed.
Fifteen minutes had passed.
Xu Wenyao and Yang Kang had smoked three cigarettes each outside the door.
Xu Wenyao glanced at his watch, then at the live stream on his phone.
"That's not right, can Wu Bin really hold his breath for this long?"
Yang Kang said softly, "Could he have drowned?"
"Impossible."
Xu Wenyao shook his head firmly and said, "Didn't you see him still moving occasionally? If he had drowned, he couldn't move at all by now."
Yang Kang nodded, feeling that made sense.
Twenty minutes passed, and everyone was out of patience.
Ding Xin said to Song Bing, "You go wake him up. I give up. I will absolutely never appear in the same swimming pool with him again, is that good enough?"
Seeing Ding Xin concede, Song Bing finally nodded in satisfaction.
He walked up to Wu Bin, patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to come up.
But with just that gentle pat, Wu Bin's body lost balance, turned over horizontally, and just floated horizontally across the water.
Wu Bin's eyes were closed, his hair defying gravity and floating upward, his expression peaceful.
Fuck!
What the hell is happening!
"Quick! Wu Bin is drowning!"
"Quick, pull him out!"
Nobody knew who had yelled it out.
Only then did the people around react, jumping into the pool one by one like dumplings, pulling Wu Bin out of the water.
Song Bing's face turned pale with fright.
Had Wu Bin actually drowned?
That's not right! He was still moving just now!
Ding Xin was also terrified. Seeing Wu Bin's bloated belly, his head exploded with a buzz.
When had Wu Bin drowned, and how had he not noticed until now?
It was over, completely fucked!
Knowing that the bet had been initiated by him, now that Wu Bin had drowned, he was the one most responsible!
Song Bing and Ding Xin both ran to kneel in front of Wu Bin, tears streaming down their faces.
"Dad Wu, don't scare me, please don't die!"
"Wu Bin, hang in there. As long as you wake up, I will never touch water again, alright?"
The medical team's doctor was performing CPR on Wu Bin.
With each compression, a lot of water sprayed out of Wu Bin's mouth.
The amount of water made a group of doctors exclaim, "Fuck."
How much water did he drink down there!
You genius, how did you manage that!
The live stream was filled with shock.
"So my brother Wu wasn't just messing around, he actually drowned?"
"When did Wu Bin drown, when his body turned sideways?"
"If it was then, isn't it pointless to resuscitate now? It's been almost half an hour."
"It looked like he floated for a while, but he had actually been gone for a while."
"Oh my god, can something like this really happen? Does that mean brother Wu can never swim again?"
"Thinking about swimming? They'll probably need to fill up the university's lake!"
"Oh no, I just bought a new swimsuit!"
"Natsuki, is that you, Natsuki? I'm Tuo Hai!"
While netizens were making jokes, doctors were desperately trying to save him, and Song Bing and Ding Xin knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
Just then, a mournful voice came from the doorway.
"Little Wu, ah!"
"Wu Bin! Ah!"
"Ah!"
Xu Wenyao ran over, his expression pained, his cries shaking the heavens.
Everyone was shocked.
Was it really that exaggerated?
Even if your own father died, you wouldn't need to cry like that!
Yang Kang had also been ready to follow Xu Wenyao and put on a show.
But as soon as Xu Wenyao opened his mouth, he was stunned into silence by his crying.
That acting, those crying tones, those voice breaks due to the overwhelming emotions.
Was this what a seasoned actor looked like?
If you're not going to be an actor vying for the Best Actor award, why come to our Agricultural University to be a principal?
The other faculty members reacted quickly and immediately rushed over to support Xu Wenyao.
"Principal, don't be too heartbroken, Wu Bin's incident was an accident."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenyao immediately shook off the hands supporting him.
"No! This was not an accident! It was a tremendous oversight in our management!"
Xu Wenyao glared at Ding Xin, angrily questioning, "Ding Xin, as the head coach of our school's swimming team, why did you compete with Wu Bin in a breath-holding contest!"
When Xu Wenyao said this, Ding Xin was dumbfounded, and the surrounding faculty were also stunned.
Hiss!
Was this... a purge?
The teachers, astutely aware, immediately understood Xu Wenyao's intention and stood aside, not daring to speak.
Just then, the school board member Ding Qiang hurriedly arrived.
Ding Qiang first glanced at Wu Bin lying on the ground then at the bewildered Ding Xin, and he immediately knew he was late.
But being a school board member, Ding Qiang still had some composure.
He walked up to Xu Wenyao and said calmly, "Principal Xu, the priority now is to handle Wu Bin's affairs correctly and minimize the impact of this incident."
"Nonsense!"
Xu Wenyao, not giving Ding Qiang any face, continued to harshly question Ding Xin.
"Tell me, why did you bet on holding your breath with Wu Bin!"
Ding Xin was completely panicked, and he hastily waved his hands.
"That's because they sneaked into the swimming pool and occupied our training venue."
"Nonsense!"
Xu Wenyao said righteously, "Wu Bin, as a student of our Agricultural University and this being our swimming pool, why couldn't they come in to swim? What do you mean by sneaking in?"
"Even if you were holding a breath-holding contest, as a professional diver, didn't you notice Wu Bin was drowning?"
"That was deliberate murder!"
With this heavy accusation thrown at him, Ding Xin, struck as if by lightning, tilted his head and passed out on the spot.
Ding Qiang was also panicked, quickly calling for help to attend to Ding Xin.
Ding Qiang walked up to Xu Wenyao, his voice filled with anger, "Xu Wenyao, aren't you going too far!"
"You're not a judge, on what grounds do you accuse my son of intentional murder!"
Xu Wenyao snorted coldly, "Whether he is or not, we'll see. Get a good lawyer for your son; I'm going to sue him on behalf of Wu Bin."
Ding Qiang's face turned extremely sour, and yet he had nothing to say in response.
Because Wu Bin's drowning indeed had something to do with Ding Xin.
Just then, a nurse cried out.
"He's breathing! Wu Bin is breathing!"
"It's a miracle! To think there's still breathing after being underwater for so long!"
"Quick! To the hospital! To the hospital immediately!"
A group of people carried Wu Bin and ran towards the ambulance outside the swimming pool.
Xu Wenyao, watching Wu Bin lying on the stretcher, showed a relieved smile on his face.
This young man really hadn't let him down.
His life was indeed tough!
Since this was the case, he could also vigorously push forward the reforms.
This medical building within the campus, it must be built!
