The pool water submerged Su Jin's nasal cavity. She tried hard to float to the surface, but she couldn't get up at all. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank. When she opened her mouth to speak, all the water rushed in.
She swallowed several mouthfuls of pool water, and suddenly her mind went blank.
Seeing that Su Jin was no longer in the water, He Ru took a few steps closer and bent down to look: "Hey, stop pretending. Swim up yourself."
But no matter what she said, there was no movement on the water.
He Ru felt a chill run down her spine, and her fingers instantly turned cold. "Could it be that he can't swim?"
She covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. She only wanted Su Jin to be punished. Who told Su Jin to steal her man? She never intended to kill Su Jin.
The thought of people dying made her legs go weak and she couldn't walk.
At this moment, Assistant Gao jogged over and saw He Ru standing there, but no sign of the boss's wife. He called out across the more than ten-meter-wide swimming pool, "Miss He Ru, have you seen Su Jin?"
He Ru was so nervous that her fingers curled up. "No, no, I didn't see it."
Assistant Gao turned around, scratched his head, and muttered to himself, "Where did the boss's wife go? Wang Keyi is already awake. She wouldn't have flown back so soon, would she? She just said confidently that she would wait for the boss to come back and explain."
He thought for a moment, then called the landlady again, only to have the phone ring behind him.
Looking back, I saw a limited-edition white bag on the small white round table next to the recliner. It looked like the bag the landlady had been carrying today.
The proprietress didn't leave.
Assistant Gao continued walking towards the other side of the pool.
He Ru stared at the white bag with trepidation. The ringing of the telephone was like a death knell, constantly blaring.
The approaching Assistant Gao was like a vengeful spirit, making her want to run away in fear. If others found out that she was the one who pushed Su Jin into the water and caused Su Jin's death, she would be finished.
Her legs were so weak that she was swaying as she walked, and she quickly ran away from Assistant Gao.
Seeing her so flustered, Assistant Gao had a bad feeling. His gaze fell on the white bag, and then he picked it up and said, "Where did you go? You didn't even take your bag. You probably didn't go too far."
Over there, He Ru ran to her car, leaning on it and panting heavily. Just as she was about to get in and drive away from the scene, her hand, which was touching the car handle, was grabbed by someone.
He Ru looked up in alarm and trembled when she saw it was Zheng Lin.
"It's so late, I'll have Gao Zixin take you." Zheng Lin narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing her expression with suspicion.
“My godmother missed me and asked me to come today. I can drive back myself, no need to trouble Assistant Gao.” He Ru opened the car door, got in, and inserted the key.
He Ru's car drove out of the manor gate.
Zheng Lin pushed up his glasses with his finger. He Ru always wanted more alone time with him, and when she came to the manor, she would stay until the next morning before leaving.
Moreover, he didn't even ask her why she came here today, but nervously told her the reason himself.
It's obvious he's done something wrong.
However, it has nothing to do with him.
......
Zheng Lin went straight to the poolside because Assistant Gao had told him half an hour earlier that Su Jin was reading the script by the pool.
When he arrived at the poolside, he only saw Assistant Gao carrying a woman's bag.
"Where is Su Jin?" Zheng Lin asked.
“I don’t know where she went, but her bag is here. Oh, did you run into Miss He Ru? She’s acting a bit strange.” Assistant Gao looked around and suddenly noticed bubbles on the water’s surface.
He pointed to the bubbles on the water's surface and said, "Boss, look, what's that? Did they put fish in the pool? But I remember the fish were in the fish tank."
Zheng Lin stared at the bubbles on the water's surface, when suddenly something occurred to him.
He flashed and jumped straight into the water.
Assistant Gao exclaimed, "Boss, what are you doing!"
Assistant Gao leaned over the edge of the pool and looked around. Suddenly, he realized that the boss's wife had fallen into the water. He turned around and called the maid.
Wang Jiache, who was taking care of the patient in the room, also rushed over.
Zheng Lin lifted Su Jin to the ground.
Wang Jiache came over and performed CPR on Su Jin. He pressed on her heart a few times and made Su Jin spit out some water, but she still didn't wake up.
Wang Jiache instinctively lowered his head, intending to perform artificial respiration, but suddenly stopped and looked up at Zheng Lin.
"Why don't you give her CPR?" Wang Jiache felt like he had almost gotten himself killed trying to save someone.
Fortunately, he stopped in time.
After Zheng Lin performed artificial respiration on Su Jin, Su Jin slowly regained consciousness.
The maids who were watching also breathed a sigh of relief.
The maid knelt down to wipe Su Jin's body and wrapped her in a bath towel. Another maid, following Dr. Wang's instructions, brought over the prepared medicine and had Su Jin take it.
After drinking the medicine, Su Jin finally felt her body warm up.
Zheng Lin supported Su Jin's back and asked, "How did you fall into the water?"
"I..." Su Jin thought for a moment before saying, "It seems like someone pushed me and I fell into the water. I don't remember."
Wang Jiache: "Give me some time to calm down, and I might remember some important details. No need to rush."
“Gao Zixin.” Zheng Lin glanced at Assistant Gao.
Assistant Gao immediately perked up and replied, "Yes, sir."
Zheng Lin: "Bring He Ru here. I need to interrogate him thoroughly."
The last person to be questioned was Wang Keyi. As soon as Assistant Gao heard about the questioning, he knew that He Ru's fate would not be good.
Assistant Gao placed the bag next to Su Jin, returning it to its owner, and said, "Okay, boss. Should we use the strapping method again this time?"
He Ru's identity is that of He Rong's goddaughter. To kidnap her directly is somewhat disrespectful to He Rong.
"Tie me up if I don't cooperate," Zheng Lin said coldly.
After saying that, he tried to pick up Su Jin, but Su Jin slapped him away.
Su Jin used her hands to push herself up, bent down to pick up her bag, and said, "My legs aren't broken, I can walk."
Zheng Lin's hand froze in mid-air before he withdrew it and stood up to look at the stubborn Su Jin.
She really is stubborn when she shouldn't be, as stubborn as a donkey.
Su Jin didn't accept his gratitude for saving her; she still remembered that he had tied up Wang Keyi. She asked the maid, "What time is it now?"
Maid: "A little."
"I have one more hour to get to the airport," Su Jin said to the maid. "Call me a car."
Zheng Lin's face darkened, his expression full of displeasure.
Wang Jiache was perceptive and understood Zheng Shao's little scheme. So he adopted his identity as a doctor and said, "Why don't you leave a little later? I'm afraid you might faint on the way, which would be very dangerous. I can observe you a little longer since you're here."
Su Jin shook her head: "I have to film tomorrow."
"Your health is the most important thing; it's a matter of life and death, so we can't be careless," Wang Jiache said. "No matter how important things are, they have to be put aside. I'm a doctor, so you have to listen to me."
Following this advice, Zheng Lin took full responsibility, saying, "Since Dr. Wang has said so, you should stay for the night. Any losses incurred by the film crew due to a delay in starting work will be charged to my Zheng Group."
He thought that if he did that, Su Jin would agree to stay and rest properly.
But he was wrong; those words made Su Jin even angrier.
"Is it that our group can't afford this?" Su Jin looked at Zheng Lin and said coldly, "I appreciate Dr. Wang's kindness in staying. But there's no need for Young Master Zheng to pay. Our group can afford it, so please don't trouble yourself."
