324 WHERE IS SHE?

Hugo went down the river bank as he saw blood on the surface of the river. He began to take off his clothes quickly. When he jumped into the river, his body got numb in such icy cold water. He could hardly swim there. It wasn't easy to keep open his eyes for more than a second either. He forced himself to look for Mu Lan's body, but he couldn't find anything.

In this cold weather, he couldn't stay there for long. He got up to take some oxygen and again he dived back to look for Mu Lan. Once again he had to go up to take oxygen. He did the same thing again and again and after ten minutes, his body couldn't take it anymore. He had a hard time to come back to the river bank.

He hastily wiped his body with his shirt and took out a bottle of brandy from his backpack. He finished half of it instantly. Quickly his body turned warmer. Taking a three minute break, once again he dived into the river to search for Mu Lan.

However, no matter how much he tried, he couldn't find her.
