Secretary Qiu was taken aback and immediately instructed the people around him: "Take the rest of the secretariat and go take care of the old leader. He has a heart condition. I'll go after Zhao Nan."
Seeing his expression, He Su took the calming and heat-relieving tea that Aunt Xu handed her and followed the second secretary upstairs.
As soon as He Su entered, she saw Rong Wenwu sitting on a stool, his face pale and clutching his chest. Her expression changed immediately.
"What's wrong? Quickly call the on-duty doctor! We need some nitroglycerin tablets!"
Rong Wenwu's rugged and weathered face was filled with anger as he gritted his teeth: "Zhao Nan's wife beat Dongdong in public the night before last. Just now, the hospital called and said that Dongdong is having suicidal thoughts and is going to jump off the roof!"
He Su was instantly stunned: "What! Zhao Nan's wife hit Dong Dong? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Rong Wenwu rubbed his temples, then slammed his hand on the table in frustration: "I told you from the beginning that she wasn't suitable for Zhaonan. A seventeen-year-old girl said a few words to her, and she got violent and caused trouble!!"
He Su frowned, her delicate brows furrowed: "Is this why Dongdong wants to jump off a building?"
Seeing He Su's disbelieving look, the second secretary whispered, "It's true. More than one person saw it. After the old leader found out, he talked to Ye Yuan yesterday. Dongdong is a delicate and sensitive girl. She was traumatized and couldn't think straight for a while."
He Su paused for a moment, her brows furrowing: "Putting everything else aside, Dongdong is the only daughter of the Ye family in this generation. Whenever the old man is feeling a little better, he always takes Dongdong to the sanatorium to keep him company during the summer vacation."
Aunt Xu sighed, "Yes, if it weren't for Zhao Nan's return, Dong Dong would be at the sanatorium with Old Master Ye right now."
Rong Wenwu took some nitroglycerin, caught his breath a little, gritted his teeth, and slammed his fist on the table—
"That unfilial son caused so much trouble back in the capital: the deaths of Ye Qiu and Xiang Xiao Si, the Xiang family's irreconcilable enmity with us—he was involved in every single one of them! And yet he refuses to say a word!"
Upon thinking of this, Rong Wenwu swayed slightly—
"At first, we thought he had matured after being sent to the countryside, but he ended up marrying such a wife. It would have been better if he hadn't returned to the capital. As soon as he came back, he caused a lot of trouble, to the point that Dongdong wanted to jump off a building!"
He Su quickly supported him, very worried: "If Zhao Nan doesn't handle this well, and something happens to Dong Dong, I'm afraid the Ye family won't let Zhao Nan off the hook like they did back then, and might even do what the Xiang family did..."
She paused, sighed, and asked, "What exactly happened to Dongdong? What did she ask for?"
Rong Wenwu closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and frowned deeply: "Dongdong only asked that the brat and his wife to be present, but made no other requests."
He opened his eyes, his expression weary yet stern: "Things have escalated to this point, I have to call Beidaihe and the base where Lao Ye works; this can't be kept from them!"
He Su frowned: "Don't panic. Call the sanatorium and the base. Young people like them are prone to impulsiveness. I'll go to the hospital right away!"
She held Rong Wenwu's hand and said in a deep voice, "I will try my best to calm her down. We absolutely cannot let the tragedy of Xiang family's fourth son repeat itself!"
Rong Wenwu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You go first! I'll go over after I finish making the call and explain the situation, and then I'll have Xiao Wang and the others drive you there."
He Su nodded, glanced at Aunt Xu, immediately packed her things, and hurriedly left.
Rong Wenwu watched her leave as she walked away.

Hospital
High on the rooftop
A slender figure sat by the window of an eighth-floor ward, half of her body dangling outside, her thin hands gripping the window frame tightly.
If the wind picks up a bit, her slender body sways.
The ward entrance was packed with patients, their families, and medical staff, all watching the spectacle.
"Ye Dong, are you crazy? Get down here!" Ye Yuan looked at her with a grim expression.
Ye Dong looked at him expressionlessly: "Where's Brother Zhaonan?"
Ye Yuan glared at her, seething with anger: "Who gave you permission to threaten people like this? Are you out of your mind?!"
"I'm sick, so what are you? The things you taught me are useless to Brother Zhaonan. I want to do things my own way!" Ye Dong's face was stubborn and cold.
Ye Yuanqi laughed, his face darkening: "Ye Dong, don't do anything stupid. Get down here. You'll get nothing looking like this!"
A woman's tears and vulnerability will always soften a man's heart more than threats! Threats will only disgust a man!
What on earth is wrong with Dongdong that she would threaten Zhaonan in such an extreme way?!
"Ye Dong, get down!" a cold voice rang out.
Ye Dong's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the handsome, aloof man walk in through the crowd: "Brother Zhaonan!"
In her excitement, she swayed slightly, her thin hands almost slipping from the window frame: "Ah!"
"Dongdong!" Ye Yuan was furious, but when he saw Ye Dong being thrown out, he turned pale with fright and instinctively rushed over.
"You're not allowed to come any closer, or I'll jump!" Ye Dong grabbed the window frame with both hands to steady himself.
Seeing Ye Yuan about to rush over, she instantly screamed shrilly again: "Get away! Get away!"
Rong Zhaonan watched her swaying agitatedly at the window, then expressionlessly grabbed Ye Yuan: "Do you want her to fall to her death right now?"
Ye Yuan froze.
Rong Zhaonan glanced at the door and coldly ordered, "Disperse the crowd at the door, no one is allowed to gather!"
Immediately, people began to disperse the patients, their families, and medical staff who were watching the commotion at the entrance, and set up a cordon.
Ye Dong looked at Rong Zhaonan and instantly gave a pitiful smile: "Brother Zhaonan, you're here! I knew you would come! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Ye Yuan, her eyes filled with a smug and obsessive smile: "Second Brother, you see, I told you, it's no use for you to make me learn from Eldest Sister. Brother Zhaonan cares about me, that's why he came here. He doesn't want me to jump off the building!"
Rong Zhaonan's cold gaze swept over Ye Yuan, who was standing to the side.
Ye Yuan had nowhere to hide under his gaze. He turned his livid face away and clenched his fists.
Rong Zhaonan turned to look at Ye Dong and said coldly, "Ye Dong, get down!"
Ye Dong stared at him intently, then suddenly said, "Brother Zhaonan, do you know that Ning Yuan is having an affair with her adopted brother behind your back? My brother and I saw them hugging that day, and that's why she hit me... Brother Zhaonan, she's a bad woman, please don't be with her, okay?"
Rong Zhaonan replied coldly and decisively: "No, you have no right to interfere in my affairs!"
Ye Dong froze, looking at him with utter confusion: "Brother Zhaonan... I'm Dongdong, your most beloved Dongdong. I'm different from my older sister; I truly love you... I was just worried about you!"
