The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 61

Ch 61: Taking Advantage of the Fall into the Water

Before Gu Qingyin could figure things out, there was a splash nearby, followed by exclamations. Someone shouted, “A big fish has been caught!”

Gu Qingyin subconsciously turned her head to look. Lin Xiaoyun was struggling to hold the fishing rod. It was clear that she was using all her strength. Even her face was straining, giving her expression a slightly distorted look.

Slightly ferocious.

Behind Lin Xiaoyun, Huo Zhaohua reached out to help her steady the fishing rod, slowly tightening the fishing line. The mother and son worked together to reel in the big fish.

It was really big, much bigger than the fish they had caught before, comparable to the length of an adult man’s thigh, about 1.2 meters long. It just looked a bit ugly, with two rows of sharp teeth in its mouth, making it look quite unapproachable.

But no matter how unapproachable a fish is, it can’t flop around for long out of the water.

After watching the excitement, Gu Qingyin turned back to think about countermeasures, but Lin Tian, who had been mechanically pulling the fishing line, suddenly burst out!

“I must catch a fish!” Lin Tian roared, stretching her arm forward, not sure what she was going to do, but it looked like a preparatory action for jumping into the sea to catch a fish.

Gu Qingyin was startled and quickly reached out to stop her. But unexpectedly, Lin Tian quickly retracted her arm. She didn’t grab Lin Tian’s hand, but because of the excessive forward momentum, her upper body flew directly over the railing. Coincidentally, she slipped, and her whole body plunged headfirst into the water.

At the moment of falling into the water, Gu Qingyin thought rather speechlessly: Very good, no need to struggle about whether to go into the water or not. Heaven has already made the choice for her.

The sound of someone falling into the water was very loud, instantly alerting everyone.

Huo Xinghai and Lin Xian were the first to look over, only to see Lin Tian standing there blankly, pulling the fishing line little by little, calmly and abnormally.

Feeling a chill in his heart, Huo Xinghai rushed over and asked with a somewhat harsh tone, “Where’s my mother?” As he spoke, he anxiously leaned over the railing and looked down, coincidentally seeing Gu Qingyin floating up.

Huo Xinghai’s expression changed drastically. He strode to the left, grabbed the lifebuoy hanging on the boat, and rushed to the stern, shouting as he ran, “Lin Xian! Notify the people on the boat, someone has fallen into the water, tell them to stop the boat and rescue them.”

Running to the stern, Huo Xinghai slung the lifebuoy over his shoulder and jumped down without hesitation.

The boat was moving, and by this time, some time had passed since Gu Qingyin fell into the water, and the boat had traveled a certain distance. But fortunately, because they were fishing, the boat wasn’t moving fast, and Huo Xinghai could still swim back.

The moment Gu Qingyin fell into the water, she drew a water-repelling talisman on herself. The effect wasn’t particularly good, but it could last for two or three minutes, avoiding the danger of choking upon entering the water.

Then she remained calm, controlled her body to lie backward, and at the same time spread her arms and legs, lying flat on the water surface in a starfish shape, looking like a motionless corpse from a distance.

Huo Xinghai, who was swimming over, was also confused by concern. Seeing this scene, his face turned pale, and he didn’t know how to paddle. He floundered in place for a few seconds before continuing to move forward.

“Mom! Can you hear me? Mom!” Huo Xinghai’s voice was full of panic.

“I can hear you,” Gu Qingyin responded calmly. “I’m fine, not injured, and didn’t choke on water. It’s just that I can’t swim, so I can’t move. You don’t need to be so agitated.”

Huo Xinghai’s eyes, which had just become a little moist, instantly dried up, feeling hot and swollen, a little uncomfortable, but he really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he swam to Gu Qingyin’s side, held the lifebuoy upright, and slipped it over her head.

With the flotation device, Gu Qingyin became much bolder and stood up directly.

Looking into the distance, the cruise ship had stopped, and a rescue boat was slowly being lowered from the ship, already halfway down.

“How did you fall down?” Huo Xinghai was very puzzled.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyin’s face, which had just improved a little, turned ugly again. It wasn’t because of anything else, she just felt embarrassed.

The less said, the better.

“An accident,” Gu Qingyin summarized in two words, then took the initiative to ask, “How is Lin Tian?”

“Lin Tian?” Huo Xinghai frowned slightly. “She’s fishing, very seriously fishing.” With no reaction to the person beside her falling into the water, he felt something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Did something happen to her just now that caused you to fall?”

Gu Qingyin was expressionless: “…No, I didn’t stand firm, it has nothing to do with her.”

The little girl is already under a lot of pressure, no need to put another burden on her.

Now that she was down here, she wanted to solve Lin Tian’s problem before going back up.

“Help me with a favor,” Gu Qingyin requested. “Help me find Lin Tian’s fishhook.”

Huo Xinghai was full of question marks. Find what?

On the opposite side, the crew member had just lowered the lifeboat. He looked up and saw a calm sea surface with no one in sight. He was stunned, his face changed drastically, and he shouted hoarsely, “The person is gone! The person who fell into the water is gone!”

The director was right above, and when he heard this, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off the boat.

Fortunately, the staff member next to him was quick-witted and grabbed him, laying him flat on the deck, shading him from the sun, fanning him, and pinching his philtrum.

Probably because he was too unwilling to face reality, the director had no intention of opening his eyes at all. At the thought of Huo’s second young master and the main mother dying in an accident while filming their program, he wished he had the urge to go with them.

At this time, a clever staff member leaned close to the director’s ear and said, “Director, Gu Qingyin and Huo Xinghai haven’t sunk into the sea, they’ve been found. The mother and son swam to the side of the boat together.”

Hearing this, the director opened his eyes like a corpse, turning his eyeballs to the person speaking, asking as if to confirm, “Really?”

The staff member nodded vigorously, “I swear on my financial luck for the rest of my life!”

Such a vicious oath completely reassured the director… who then fainted.

The staff members next to him were startled again and carried him to the cabin, where the on-set doctor examined him ━ a coma caused by excessive emotional fluctuations and a rapid rise in blood pressure.

It wasn’t a big deal, just rest and take some medicine to recuperate when he wakes up.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally remembered to care about the guests again.

At this time, Gu Qingyin was directly below where Lin Tian was. She could see Lin Xian talking to Lin Tian anxiously when she looked up, but the latter looked like she hadn’t heard anything at all, with only fishing in her eyes and heart.

And Huo Xinghai, he went to find the fishhook.

The fishing line was very long, and the fishhook was heavy, so it quickly sank to the bottom of the sea. To find it, he could only reel in the line little by little, without being noticed by Lin Tian.

If Lin Tian found out that someone was helping her cheat, it would probably backfire.

So, how to reel in the line without being noticed, this was a technical job.

Huo Xinghai did it very carefully. After winding it for a while, he touched the fishhook. The moment he found it, he quickly handed the fishhook to Gu Qingyin, “Quick!”

Gu Qingyin didn’t waste any words. She took the fishhook and began to pray for blessings. It was actually very simple, just a few words, and she threw the hook back into the sea.

“We can go ashore now.”
