Sun Liancheng's hesitation lessened, after all, the noise from upstairs was already unbearable to hear, and he couldn't let his daughter fall into the tiger's den no matter what.
Just as Sun Liancheng was about to lead his men to force their way in, he suddenly heard a loud splash from the side.
Then they heard someone shout from upstairs, "The girl has fallen into the water!"
Sun Liancheng's expression changed, and he quickly ran towards the small lake next to him. Sure enough, a green figure was sinking into the lake.
Before he could react, Zhang Zihe had already plunged into the lake. Ning Ye stood on the shore without going in; he could tell that Zhang Zihe was a good swimmer.
The two people have a deep and affectionate relationship; it would be rather unseemly for me to get involved.
Soon, the Crown Prince, whose name had been heard but whose face had never been seen, finally made his appearance.
Dressed in a black and gold outfit with a jade belt around his waist, he walked with a gait that suggested a powerful and majestic presence.
Unfortunately, the prince's appearance was completely unsuitable; his eyes and brows carried a gloomy look, and he exuded a lewd aura.
It can be said that this Crown Prince is an extremely contradictory person, after all, these things combined together have a somewhat incongruous feel.
After the prince arrived, he did not send his guards to help rescue the person. He simply watched coldly from the shore, as if he simply wanted to see whether Sun Qingyu would die.
Not long after, Zhang Zihe managed to pull Sun Qingyu out of the lake with great difficulty.
But Sun Qingyu's chest did not rise or fall at all, as if he had already passed away.
Seeing this, Sun Liancheng almost fainted and quickly told his butler to fetch a doctor.
At this moment, the prince coldly said, "How boring. I haven't even done anything yet, and you dare to jump off a building. Fine, I'll go back for today. If you're not dead, I'll pay you a visit another day."
After leaving these words, the prince turned and left. Even Ning Ye felt that this person was not just deserving of death, but was truly not human.
Zhang Zihe, holding Sun Qingyu, was completely panicked. He could only call out Sun Qingyu's name repeatedly, but no matter how much he called, Sun Qingyu could not respond.
Ning Ye sighed and walked over. "Patriarch Sun, I might be able to save your young lady's life, but whatever I do next, you can't blame me."
Sun Liancheng seemed to have grasped at a straw, "As long as you can save Qingyu, how could I possibly blame you?"
After obtaining permission, Ning Ye pulled Sun Qingyu out of Zhang Zihe's arms and laid her flat on the ground. "All men, get out of here. If anyone sees even a trace of this, Patriarch Sun will not let you off the hook."
Although he didn't know what Ning Ye was trying to do, Sun Liancheng still started to scold everyone else, leaving only a few of them behind.
The golden window of opportunity for rescue was only a short while, so Ning Ye didn't dare to delay and immediately tore open Sun Qingyu's outer garment to begin first aid.
Fortunately, Sun Qingyu hadn't been in the water for very long; she was just in a somewhat humiliating state. After some rescue efforts, she choked on the lake water and coughed up a few mouthfuls in no time.
Ning Ye didn't care about anything else and could only listen to Sun Qingyu's heartbeat, only to find that her heartbeat still hadn't recovered.
Ning Ye grabbed Zhang Zihe and roared, "Now I'll teach you a method. Take a deep breath, then pour air into Sun Qingyu's mouth, and repeat several times."
Zhang Zihe's eyes were a little dazed, but he still subconsciously did as Ning Ye said, while Ning Ye was also performing CPR.
Such frivolity is enough to warrant killing Ning Ye and Zhang Zihe, but Sun Liancheng has no time to care about that now. If Sun Qingyu is truly awakened, then none of this matters. But if she doesn't, then the two of them probably won't be able to escape either.
Fortunately, after some persistent effort, Sun Qingyu slowly opened her eyes.
Sun Liancheng immediately stepped forward and pushed Ning Ye and Zhang Zihe aside, saying excitedly, "Yu'er, are you alright now?"
Sun Qingyu looked at Sun Liancheng weakly, "Father, are you going to the underworld with me?"
Tears streamed down Sun Liancheng's face, which was an immense blow for any man.
At this moment, Sun Liancheng was completely unable to control himself. Since his beloved wife passed away, his daughter had become his only source of emotional support.
Just now, his daughter was almost gone forever. "It's all my fault, I've made you suffer so much. Don't worry, this isn't the underworld. Your son and brother rescued you from the lake."
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Sun Qingyu's eyes, "Has Brother Zihe returned?"
Sun Liancheng, who had just been so emotional, felt a sharp pang in his heart. In the end, he couldn't save his precious cabbage after all.
She hadn't seen her elderly father and was now crying like this, while her own daughter was asking about Zhang Zihe.
Zhang Zihe also joined in, "Yu'er, I'm late."
Sun Qingyu shook her head and said, "I wrote that letter to prevent you from coming back. Why should Brother Zihe return?"
“We’ve been together since we were little, and this bond is unbreakable. Besides, I can’t just stand by and watch you fall into the tiger’s den without doing anything. If I did that, there would be no point in living.”
"It all started because of me. Even if Zihe and his brother come back, this matter will probably be unsolvable."
Zhang Zihe said sincerely, "I have a method, but it might not be fair to you, so it's up to you, Uncle, to make the decision."
Sun Liancheng had no choice but to tell Ning Ye and the other person about their plan. Sun Qingyu didn't find anything wrong with it. She wasn't even afraid of death, so why would she be afraid of faking her death?
Given how things have come to this, not only is the prince not a good man, but even Sun Qingyu herself doesn't want this situation.
Sun Qingyu grasped Sun Liancheng's hand, "Father, this is the only way to get out of this mess. Even if I don't marry Brother Zihe, I will never marry that prince."
Sun Liancheng sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I can only grant your wish. Since you've already done this, let's go with the flow and just announce that you drowned."
