Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Who’s Child Are You?
“The rescue rope is here, quickly grab it and come up!”
Everyone saw that Gu Zhihan had rescued the person, and hastily signaled him to climb up the rescue rope the staff had lowered earlier.
“Hold on to me tight,” Gu Zhihan told Mengmeng before picking up his body and securing himself.
Through the concerted efforts of the crowd, the three were safely brought up.
Mengmeng couldn’t care about anything else and just threw herself into Gu Zhihan’s arms, crying. Her small hands clenched tightly onto the front of his school uniform, trembling.
Next time, she will never play the hero again…
Let someone else be the good Samaritan!
Gu Zhihan sighed, picked her up from the ground, and placed her on a nearby chair, “Don’t cry, it’s all right now.”
He took out a tissue from his school uniform pocket to wipe her tears away.
Then, he pressed on her legs and back, “Did you hurt yourself when you fell just now?”
“No, no, the ground below was grassy…”
With his reassurance, Mengmeng finally calmed down a bit.
After she finished speaking, she glanced down at the White Tiger Garden and pointed at the boy still inside, asking with a crying tone, “What about him?”
Although she was safe, the boy who had lured the white tiger away was still engaged with the animal.
He was at a disadvantage!
“I’ll think of something,” Gu Zhihan frowned.
It was clearly not a good time to take on a wild white tiger by force.
They had to outsmart it.
Suddenly, as if Gu Zhihan thought of something, he immediately turned to the keeper who was whistling ineffectively at attracting the white tiger’s attention, “He won’t listen to your commands when he sees food. Do you have any firecrackers? Throw them down to divert the white tiger’s attention.”
Animals are very sensitive to the sound of firecrackers.
The keeper instantly snapped to attention and hurried to prepare.
But it was too late. The white tiger opened its huge jaws and reared up, ready to pounce on the boy.
Those who were scared began to cry again.
Luo Mengmeng was so frightened that she closed her eyes and covered the eyes of the little boy in her arms too.
However, the sound of the boy being torn apart that everyone anticipated didn’t come; there wasn’t even a hint of blood in the air.
What they heard… was laughter.
“Silly tiger, how come you don’t recognize your daddy after just a few days?”
The boy lifted his sparkling peach-blossom eyes, gazing at the white tiger with a half-smile.
The white tiger, which had been about to pounce on the boy, suddenly paused, seemingly slapping its head as if remembering something.
Then it pounced at the boy again.
This time, as it lunged towards the boy, there was no aggression; instead, it gently pressed on him, excitedly licking him with its tongue.
“Get off, do you want to squash daddy?” the boy said irritably, slapping the white tiger’s head.
Seeing his actions, the crowd couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment, “He, he’s too bold, isn’t he?”
But, seeing the white tiger obediently get off the boy and sit quietly beside him, everyone was at a loss for words, staring at the little boy in sheer amazement as if he were an alien.
Luo Meng also witnessed this scene, her face full of surprise, “He couldn’t possibly know that white tiger, could he?”
“Maybe,” Gu Zhihan replied, no longer concerned now that the person was safe. He then knitted his brows and looked at the little boy trembling in Mengmeng’s arms, “Whose child are you? Where are your parents?”
