About an hour later, a few people took ropes and went up the mountain.

Shen Muzhi put on non-slip gloves, tied the rope around his waist, and slowly climbed down the cliff. Afeng and Ayu followed him down.

The valley wasn't as deep as they had imagined; it was only about ten meters deep, but the stream below was swift.

After Shen Mu and the others went down, they began searching for Xu Tingchuan.

After searching for about ten minutes, we found him by the stream downstream.

Shen Muzhi squatted down and examined Xu Tingchuan's head and body. There was bleeding on his forehead, and he had lost consciousness. He was still holding a box in his hands.

He tried to take the box off his hand, but found that he couldn't pry his fingers open no matter what he did.

“It seems you’re wrong. Mr. Xu jumped off the cliff because of this box,” A-Yu said to A-Feng, squatting down to help his husband.

"No need. He'll protect the box with his life and won't let go until he wakes up." After checking, Shen Muzhi found that apart from the injury on his forehead, there wasn't much else wrong. He was probably lucky to have fallen into the deep water and been swept away, so he wasn't hit by any hard objects.

The three of them worked together to get Xu Tingchuan up. One of their subordinates came to report: "We've searched everywhere in the mountains, but we haven't seen any other people."

Shen Muzhi frowned. They had already searched down there, but Su Yan wasn't there. She shouldn't have fallen down. How could they not find her in the mountains?

"Let's go first." Shen Muzhi wanted to get Xu Tingchuan to the hospital as soon as possible, and settle accounts with that woman later.

After the group descended the mountain, Shen Muzhi laid Xu Tingchuan flat in the back seat, got into the passenger seat himself, glanced at the still-parked BMW, and asked, "Haven't we seen Su Yan yet?"

"No, I've been keeping an eye on that side the whole time," Ah Chao shook his head.

"Let's drive." After saying that, Shen Muzhi took out his phone and notified Xiang Zhilan about the matter.

Xiang Zhilan was also worried. After Shen Muzhi left, she was concerned that something might happen to Ni Sitian if she was alone at home, so she went to keep Ni Sitian company.

So when Shen Muzhi called, Ni Sitian learned about Xu Tingchuan's fall off the cliff and was so frightened that her legs almost gave way.

The two of them hurriedly drove to the city hospital.

Shen Muzhi and the others arrived quite late. When Ni Sitian saw Xu Tingchuan's head covered in blood, her heart felt like it was being squeezed and crushed.

A group of doctors and nurses rushed him into the emergency room.

I don't know what method the doctor used, but he managed to take the box that Xu Tingchuan was clinging to tightly out and have the nurse deliver it to his family.

Ni Sitian took the box, and her eyes, which had been red, finally broke down in tears.

It was all because of this thing that he ended up like this; he was willing to give his own life to save hers.

"Let's have the doctor test this ingredient tomorrow to see if it's safe to inject," Xiang Zhilan said, gently putting her arm around Ni Sitian's shoulder and patting her reassuringly.

Ni Sitian nodded, wanting to open it first to see if Xu Tingchuan was alright after getting the antidote.

The box was closed quite tightly, and she had to pry it open several times before she could loosen it a little.

Xiang Zhilan held her breath, feeling a bit nervous. The box had fallen off the cliff with Xu Tingchuan, and she didn't know if the contents had broken or spilled.

Ni Sitian slowly pried open the box lid, but what was inside surprised both of them.

There was no antidote in sight; there was only a photograph.

The photo shows two identical babies, one wearing a watermelon hat and the other a tiger hat, both looking adorable.
