Zheng Lin lifted the covers and lay down. Su Jin opened her eyes wide and turned to look at him.

He closed his eyes and said, "Go to sleep."

Su Jin: "You..."

"You want to ask me why I don't sleep in my own room?" Zheng Lin answered himself, "Because I feel that since you had an accident at my house, it's only right that I take care of you all night. But I'm sleepy, so I lie down next to you. I can't just sit here and watch over you all night without sleeping."

That's something no one can refute.

The two were husband and wife, and had shared a bed more than once. Thinking about it, Su Jin felt there was no need to be coy, so she simply closed her eyes.

Everyone here is asleep, but the girl by the pool is still crying and making a fuss.

He Rong stood by the pool, blocked by bodyguards, and watched helplessly as He Ru, who was bound hand and foot, was thrown into the pool, splashing water everywhere.

"Quick, scoop it out!"

"You'll die!"

"I'm giving you orders! Don't you think my words count?! If you keep this up, I'm calling the police!"

No matter how much He Rong shouted, the three bodyguards remained unmoved, like robots carrying out a mission, unable to understand the harsh words He Rong was saying.

Assistant Gao lay on the recliner, his eyes narrowing as he heard the woman's scream, then his eyes widened immediately.

Seeing that He Rong was still pestering him, he suddenly stood up, yawned, and walked over.

"The boss won't kill anyone, it's just a minor punishment to serve as a warning. You should go back to your room and rest, don't catch a cold." Assistant Gao meant well.

"What do you mean by a minor punishment? It wasn't my Ru'er who caused Su Jin to fall into the water. Ru'er shouldn't have to suffer this injustice!" He Rong was still indignant for Ru'er.

At this moment, bubbles were rising from the water's surface. He Rong looked on anxiously and said, "Quickly, pull her up!"

Bodyguard: "Three minutes left."

He Rong: "Three minutes!! Not even three seconds can be delayed."

Helpless, Assistant Gao had no choice but to bring out a tablet, open the surveillance footage, and show it to He Rong with both hands.

He Rong stared at the monitor on the screen until she saw He Ru push Su Jin into the water, and only then did she calm down.

“The boss originally wanted me to delete the surveillance footage. He said that justice will prevail and that five minutes won’t kill anyone, but it would teach her a small lesson.” Assistant Gao said, “I don’t agree with this approach either, but if the boss doesn’t get angry today, what awaits Miss He tomorrow will definitely be more serious than this minor punishment. He is your son, you should know very well what he will do.”

He Rong took Gao's words to heart. She stared at the bubbles on the water's surface and sighed heavily.

He Rong knew that Zheng Lin's decision not to hand over the surveillance footage to the police was a sign of leniency towards He Ru.

Underwater, He Ru was choking on water and desperate. After being pulled up, she lay face down, gasping for air.

He Rong kept looking back at He Ru as she walked, but in the end she could only harden her heart and not look back.

Seeing He Rong leave, He Ru couldn't help but burst into tears, crying out, "Godmother! Godmother!"

"Let me go, I didn't mean to kill Su Jin."

"No, don't throw me down again, I don't want to go down!" He Ru's heart nearly stopped in terror as she watched the bodyguard approach again.

As she drew closer, everything went black before her eyes, and she fell backward back into the water.

......

The next day, Wang Keyi had fully recovered. After examining him, Dr. Wang joked, "It's good to be young. If you soak in the water for three more days, you should be fine."

Wang Keyi was in a daze all night and didn't know what had happened or how he was rescued.

He had no recollection of the doctor whatsoever.

I only found out everything after asking around.

Wang Keyi hurriedly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked out of the room, but he didn't know which room Su Jin was staying in.

After questioning a maid, Wang Keyi followed her to Su Jin's room.

The maid knocked on the door: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress."

"Come in," a man's voice came from inside the room.

The maid brought in the brewed Chinese medicine and placed it on the table: "This is the medicine that Dr. Wang ordered to be brewed. The second young mistress is still not awake. Should we wake her up?"

"Let's go out first."

Zheng Lin frowned when he saw Wang Keyi standing outside the door. He said to the maid in a veiled way, "Close the door when you go out. Don't bring just anyone into my room."

The maid closed the door as ordered, but the man she brought over braced his hand against the door frame.

Wang Keyi squeezed into the room. He reached out to wake Su Jin, but a water glass flew over and hit the back of his hand.

The glass fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Su Jin was immediately awakened. She got up and saw Wang Keyi's hand hanging in mid-air. There was a bloody gash on the back of his hand, from which blood was gushing out.

Su Jin exclaimed in surprise, "Why is your hand bleeding?"

She swept up shards of glass from a water glass on the floor and tried to get out of bed to call someone to bandage her. Just as she was about to stretch her leg out, someone grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

Until the person was pulled into a warm embrace.

Su Jin poked Zheng Lin's chest with her elbow, but heard him say, "It's all broken glass. Let's clean it up before we go down."

As he spoke, Zheng Lin gave Wang Keyi a defiant look, as if he were asserting his sovereignty.

The two were behaving intimately, while Wang Keyi stood aside with a grim expression. He covered his injured hand and said, "Sister Su Jin, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. Don't rush down, you'll hurt yourself."

Despite saying this, Wang Keyi was filled with mixed feelings and didn't dare to look at the two of them.

"Then please go out and find a maid yourself." Su Jin looked at Wang Keyi as if he were her own younger brother, her tone full of concern: "Have them bandage your wound, and remember not to get it wet."

Wang Keyi smiled, turned around and left.

Every second he stayed longer would make his heart ache even more.

The maid came in, cleaned the floor, and brought a new pair of slippers for Su Jin. After putting them on, Su Jin hurriedly went out to find Wang Keyi. Zheng Lin looked worried when he saw her.

Zheng Lin sneered, thinking to himself: You're so worried about him? It's just a minor hand injury.

Assistant Gao also came to report to Zheng Lin.

"Boss, Miss He fainted during her second attempt last night," Assistant Gao said.

Zheng Lin straightened his collar in front of the full-length mirror and said, "Only twice is not enough. Let's continue today."

"Should we let her eat breakfast first?"

"Just throw it down after you finish eating." Zheng Lin suddenly thought of something. "Oh, right, has my mom gotten up yet? We can still notify her to go and observe."

Assistant Gao: "......" No offense, but boss, that's enough. She's your adoptive mother, stop stabbing people in the back.

A person will die if they are stabbed.

Over there, He Rong was drinking her morning tea while her maid massaged her head.

The maid who had been sent to gather information came in and whispered in He Rong's ear, "Miss He Ru is not in good condition. I heard she fainted yesterday."

"What? He's fainted!" He Rong's heart jumped into her throat.

"She's awake now, but it seems the second young master has no intention of letting Miss Heru off the hook. He's about to throw her into the water again."

He Rong pounded her thigh in anger: "He's not just trying to kill Ru'er, he's trying to kill me!"
