Huo Sining could understand what true familial love meant to Bai Yishan in such a family. So, seeing Bai Yishan’s anxious and tense expression, Huo Sining said nothing and turned to walk towards the old man.

"Sir, do you have any employees here who can help salvage, or maybe some fishermen?"

The old man heard Huo Sining’s words, shook his head, fearing they might trouble him, and hurriedly explained:

"Our business here is small scale, not like the city’s strict safety facilities. Young lady, that bracelet of yours dropping is really not my fault, I haven’t even seen your friend’s bracelet, and I definitely can’t afford to compensate for it."

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining laughed immediately, comforting him: "Sir, don’t be afraid, this was our own mistake, we definitely won’t blame you for it."

The old man felt relieved hearing this: "That’s good, that’s good. There’s no one around here to help with salvage. To tell you the truth, this is the suburb, surrounded by deep mountains, few people live here, and finding someone to help with salvage is really difficult. However, I do have a fishing net in my wooden hut; you can use it."

A fishing net? Huo Sining was somewhat amused and waved her hand saying, "No need, but thank you, sir."

After thanking the old man for his kindness, Huo Sining returned to Su Qingqing and Bai Yishan, directly took off her shoes and socks, and said directly to Su Qingqing: "Go back to the villa and bring me a bathrobe!"

Saying this, Huo Sining also took off all her jewelry and phone and stuffed them into Bai Yishan’s arms, then turned around without a word and walked directly towards the reservoir, diving straight into the water.

"Ningning!"

"President Huo!"

"Sister Ning Ning!"

Upon seeing Huo Sining’s actions, the girls like Bai Yishan, Luo Jinzhi, and Wu Ya beside her were all stunned, looking at the shimmering water surface, momentarily at a loss, completely not understanding what was going on.

"Oh my, how could this girl just jump in like that? Don’t be fooled by the low water level; do you know how deep it is? This reservoir is hundreds of years old, with shallow areas over ten meters deep and deep areas over a hundred meters! Every year, people drown here when taking baths in the cold water! And these drowning people all knew how to swim. What is this girl thinking? This is just too daring! Hurry, think of a way to get her out!"

The old man saw Huo Sining jump into the reservoir without any protective measures, he immediately shouted out loudly, urgently calling out to Bai Yishan and others standing by the water’s edge.

Bai Yishan and the others were already stupefied, and after hearing the old man say how deep the reservoir was, they were all so scared that their faces turned pale.

"What should we do, could Ningning be in danger?"

"It’s so deep, and Ningning just jumped in like that, she hasn’t resurfaced yet!"

"Quick, call 119 and have the fire department come rescue her!"

The youngest, Yaya, upon hearing the others’ chaotic discussions, immediately panicked and started crying.

Su Qingqing was startled at first too, just like Bai Yishan, she was extremely anxious. But after hearing Bai Yishan’s shout to call the fire department, a moment of clarity occurred in her mind, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Huo Sining two years ago.

Back then at The Bund, when she, Zhou Zhen, and Ye Zixin were arguing, Zhou Zhen had thrown the engagement ring into the Yellow River, and she was muddled, wanting to jump into the river, it was Huo Sining who stopped her, and without a word, dived straight into the Yellow River and retrieved the ring for her.

Su Qingqing then remembered something. Apparently, Huo Sining was very good at swimming, even her brother had complimented her, once stating that if Huo Sining wanted, with her outstanding swimming skills, she could be specially recruited into the national special forces.

Thinking of this, and looking at the chaotic scene with crying girls around, Su Qingqing felt a wave of exasperation. Seeing that Bai Yishan had already connected the call to the fire department, Su Qingqing hurriedly went up to stop Bai Yishan and hung up the phone, explaining:

"Don’t panic, I forgot to tell you, Ningning is an excellent swimmer. Back in The Bund, she had jumped into the Yellow River to retrieve a ring for me; she can hold her breath underwater for over ten minutes, so you don’t have to worry!"

At this point, Su Qingqing remembered that Huo Sining was indeed prepared when she entered the water, and had instructed her to get a bathrobe from the villa. Even though the weather was still mild, coming out of the cold reservoir might still cause a chill if exposed to the wind.

With this in mind, Su Qingqing stopped delaying, instructed the girls to watch by the shore, and she quickly dashed towards the villa to fetch Huo Sining a clean towel and bathrobe at top speed.

When Su Qingqing came running out from the villa, Huo Sining still hadn’t surfaced, which made the tension among the girls rise again.

"Why hasn’t Ningning come up yet? Could something have happened?"

"Can she really hold her breath that long? I heard those professional underwater divers can hold their breath for at most five minutes without oxygen tanks and equipment. How is President Huo so amazing?"

"I’m really scared something might go wrong. Maybe we should call 119 and have the fire department come. Don’t delay too long, or it’ll be too late to rescue her!"

Some of the girls didn’t quite believe Su Qingqing’s words, and a few of the more impatient ones started panicking again.

Even Su Qingqing herself was slightly anxious, her eyes darted nervously, staring at the water surface, with fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

Not to mention Bai Yishan, whose nerves were all stretched tight, her mind a blank, completely unable to think.

The people on the shore were extremely anxious, but the person in the water wasn’t worried at all. Once Huo Sining entered the reservoir, she swam straight towards where Bai Yishan and the others had the incident. She moved through the water with ease as if it were solid ground, and quickly arrived at the spot where Bai Yishan had dropped the jade bracelet.

Underwater, Huo Sining’s vision was as sharp as a detector, her eyes clear, her vision wide. Soon, she found the Mutton Fat Jade bracelet lying in the mud.

Bending down, she picked up the bracelet. The jade was a vibrant green, incredibly beautiful—no wonder Bai Yishan was so anxious.

Having obtained the bracelet, Huo Sining prepared to swim back. But just as she was about to turn and move towards the shore, her gaze unintentionally fell on something at the bottom of the water, and her eyes couldn’t help but pause.

What is that?
