After watching the sunrise, Yunxi wanted to watch the sunset, so she found a small seaside bar and sat down to wait for it.
The afternoon sun was bright and intense. With a little wine, a sea breeze, and sunshine, a pleasantly tipsy feeling immediately followed.
Lin Yue propped her head up with one hand, biting on a straw, her big eyes full of curiosity as she watched the group of people feeding seagulls bread in the distance.
Won't the seagulls poke themselves with their sharp beaks if you feed them like this?
Yunxi followed her gaze and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, would you like to give it a try?"
Lin Yue nodded, "I want to, but I don't dare. I'm afraid of the sharp beak."
"No, go try it, I'll go with you."
Lin Yue hesitated.
"Come on, I'll go with you, what are you afraid of?"
Yunxi always kept her brother's instructions in mind and told him to have fun.
...
Jing Sheng Club, owned by the Sheng family, operates on a private reservation system and is open only to high-ranking individuals.
Sheng Qinian leaned back on the black leather sofa, crossed his legs, and placed his hands on the armrests. His well-defined fingers were interlaced above his lower abdomen, exuding the confidence of a superior.
Men in high positions have many affairs to attend to every day, and ordinary people can only see them by watching the news on TV. But as long as it is an invitation from Song Yunzheng, he will definitely come.
Song Yunzheng sat upright on the other side of the sofa, his whole body hidden in the dim light.
Compared to the aura of these two, Tang Shiting, who was lounging lazily to the side, appeared somewhat inexperienced.
Sheng Qinian: "Now that you've sent your little wife out of the capital, you can rest easy."
Mentioning his young wife, Song Yunzheng's lips softened involuntarily. He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. "I'm even more worried now..."
Sheng Qinian shook his head and chuckled, "When have I ever seen you like this? Now everyone knows your weakness, which is not a good thing."
"That's why we must nip it in the bud." Song Yunzheng's thin lips parted slightly, his eyes solemn, his face stern and cold.
"Do you need any help?"
"Not for now."
Sheng Qinian looked at Song Yunzheng thoughtfully, and sighed more than once that it was fortunate that Song Yunzheng was not interested in an official career, otherwise he would have become the second Sheng Huai'an.
"Are you two playing cryptic games here? You called me over, but you're treating me like an outsider, aren't you?"
Tang Shiting was completely confused by their conversation.
Upon hearing this, Song Yunzheng turned his head to look at him.
"There must be something good that I called you here."
"What's up?"
"All the projects the Shen family of Sunan City has in Beijing are yours for the taking. Do you want them?"
"Sure! It's a bit underhanded, but I, Tang, never care about these things." Tang Shiting rubbed his hands excitedly. "But, did that kid offend you?"
Song Yunzheng put down his teacup, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "He tried to scheme against me, so naturally I can't let him get away with it."
"So you just disrupted the Shen family's projects in Beijing?"
"This is just the first step. The Shen family still has many businesses in southern Jiangsu, which I will gradually take over."
Sheng Qinian clapped lightly, "That's ruthless! But aren't you afraid that by making such a big fuss, he might resort to desperate measures and harm your little wife?"
Song Yunzheng gently stroked the teacup with his slender fingertips, narrowing his eyes. "If he dares, he'll only die faster."
Tang Shiting suddenly remembered that he had lost his job because of a meal... and silently mourned for that young master Shen.
...
As the Bentley Mulsanne emerged from the Jing Sheng Club, it slowly drove out of the underground parking garage. The driver paused slightly when he looked out the window at the view.
"Damn!" Tang Shiting, in the passenger seat, glanced at the time. "It's only three o'clock, how come it's already dark?"
The once clear sky suddenly turned into a strong wind, and the clouds in the sky were pushed by the air currents stirred up by the wind, as if they were being manipulated by its power.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered, as if to shroud the whole world in darkness. The earth trembled under the onslaught of the gale, as if telling of its unease and fear.
The trees swayed in the strong wind, and the leaves fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.
While Song Yunzheng was stunned, the phone rang urgently. He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He wanted to hang up instinctively, but when he saw that the address displayed was in Huihai area, he answered it without hesitation.
"Brother... Sister-in-law fell into the sea and is currently being treated at Huihai City People's Hospital..." Yunxi's voice was hoarse and she was sobbing on the phone.
Song Yunzheng felt a loud bang in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything after that. He could only hear a sharp ringing in his ears.
Those words kept flashing through my mind: falling into the sea... rescue...
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. It was as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat. The string in his heart had snapped, and he began to tremble uncontrollably. He felt himself falling into an abyss.
The phone lay to the side, and intermittent crying could be heard coming from it...
"What's wrong?" Tang Shiting asked hurriedly.
"To Huihai! Now!"
When they arrived at Huihai City Hospital as quickly as possible, Lin Yue had already been admitted to the intensive care unit.
Yunxi told him that Lin Yue accidentally fell into the sea while feeding seagulls. She was swept away by the waves the moment she fell in. She and Rong Youze jumped in to save her immediately, but humans are too weak in the face of the ocean, and they couldn't catch her... The rescue team searched for a long time before finally bringing her back.
"Brother, I'm sorry... I couldn't catch her, I'm so sorry, I couldn't catch her..."
Rong Youze hugged her tightly, his eyes also reddening.
Accidental fall into the sea... How familiar those four words are.
Upon hearing this, Song Yunzheng trembled all over, his eyes darting around in confusion. In a daze, Yu Qian's words and Zhou Lirong's words echoed in his ears.
