late at night.
Yushan Village, back mountain.
At two o'clock in the morning, Xie Lanzhi, who didn't even have time to change his clothes, climbed up the mountain covered in sweat, surrounded by his guards, and came to the Qin family's forbidden area under the waterfall.
In the huge open space, there are densely packed tents, and the dim lights reflect many unfamiliar faces.
Xie Lanzhi saw the Qin family members standing on the shore. He walked through the tents with his slender body and quickly walked to Qin Hairui's side.
Xie Lanzhi asked in a low voice, worriedly: "A Shu hasn't come up yet?"
When Qin Hairui saw him, a light flashed in his eyes and he grabbed Xie Lanzhi's arm tightly.
"Ashu is still down there. I tried several times but couldn't get in. Go down and take a look. Something must have happened to Ashu!"
The hand that was holding Xie Lanzhi's arm was shaking uncontrollably, and his voice was trembling.
Xie Lanzhi said nothing and tore off his clothes: "Prepare your equipment for swimming!"
“Everything is ready!”
Qin Hairui ran to the side and rushed over with the diving equipment.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xie Lanzhi stripped down to just a pair of tight underwear, without even a swimsuit, and went straight into the water with an oxygen tank and an oxygen mask on his back.
The onlookers clearly saw the man with a nimble figure and tight and sexy muscles dive into the water and disappear in just a few waves.
You Longlong was in the crowd, holding his sister's hand and saying, "Is he the one who lives in the Yu Mansion?"
You Afeng stared at the water with complicated eyes and said uncertainly: "Yes, but I heard that there have been changes in the cabinet recently. He should have resigned from his position."
You Longlong swallowed his saliva and said with envy: "He has a great body. When will I be able to develop muscles like him?"
You Afeng covered her rapidly beating heart and said, "Yeah, I heard he's already 40, but you can't tell at all, he's good-looking and has a great body, and he looks only a few years older than us."
You Longlong tilted his head and stared at You Afeng suspiciously: "Sister, are you attracted to him?"
“Bang!”
You Afeng slapped his brother.
"Nonsense, I am just admiring you, do you understand?"
Let her compete with Qin Shu for a man? It would be better to kill her directly. Even if You Afeng had never met the couple, she knew how deep the water of the top powerful families was, how much Xie Lanzhi valued Qin Shu, and that Qin Shu was a guest of honor in major aristocratic families and had the ability to summon most of the Chinese families to serve her.
You Afeng thought about it and realized that if she dared to interfere with them, she would definitely die a miserable death.
Moreover, some people can only be admired from a distance and not desecrated.
In the crowd, not only the You siblings were talking about Xie Lanzhi. After all, this big shot, whom they used to see on TV, now appeared before their eyes in person.
There was only one person, hiding in the darkness, staring at the calm water, with a vicious and cruel light in his eyes.
Under the dark river.
Xie Lanzhi came to the underground river with familiarity.
As soon as he surfaced, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Xie Lanzhi's calm black eyes flashed with a cold light, and he quickly scanned the surroundings looking for something.
Soon, he found Qin Shu lying unconscious on the shore.
Xie Lanzhi's pupils constricted, and his slender and agile body trembled as he swam over.
He saw Qin Shu's clothes stained with blood, and there was blood on her lips.
"Ah Shu?"
Xie Lanzhi picked the person up carefully.
Qin Shu, who was in a coma, moved her eyes and made a slight sound in her throat: "Hmm..."
Xie Lanzhi's tense body relaxed slightly, and he pulled Qin Shu into his arms.
"Ah Shu, I'll take you home."
He gave his equipment to Qin Shu, and just as he was about to go into the water with the person in his arms, he caught a glimpse of a corpse not far away.
He was a man wearing an ancient green robe, with strange long hair and a ferocious facial expression.
Xie Lanzhi almost immediately concluded that Qin Shu was injured because of this person.
The silver needle between the corpse's eyebrows and the large black area at the fatal point were obviously made by Qin Shu.
Xie Lanzhi held Qin Shu in his arms and walked to the body.
The slender legs stepped on the man's cold neck.
With a click!
The man was already dead, his throat was crushed.
thump!
Xie Lanzhi carried Qin Shu into the water and swam towards the exit of the underground river.
"There's movement!"
The Qin family members who were guarding the shore stared at the water without blinking.
The moment Xie Lanzhi emerged from the water holding Qin Shu, a scream broke the silence of the night.
Qin Hairui was the first to rush forward and took the soaked Qin Shu away from the embarrassed Xie Lanzhi.
"I'll take Shu to the bamboo house first, you put on your clothes and come here quickly!"
Before he left, he did not forget to ask Xie Lanzhi to accompany Qin Shu.
Qin Hairui was really scared!
Lingxi said that if Emperor Xing was not around, Ah Shu would be in danger, and Qin Hairui remembered it deeply in his heart.
If Xie Lanzhi wasn't naked, he would have dragged him away on the spot.
When the Qin family saw Qin Shu was rescued, they all left in a swarm.
Amuti stood on the shore, and after Xie Lanzhi waded out of the water, he handed him the clean clothes in his hand.
"Brother Lan, put on your clothes first, be careful not to catch a cold."
Xie Lanzhi stared at the bamboo house where figures were flashing, and put on his clothes as quickly as possible.
He walked towards the bamboo house barefoot without buttoning his shirt.
Before he entered the house, he was stopped by an uncle from the Qin family who was holding a porcelain bowl.
"This is the ginger soup that Hai Rui asked me to make for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Xie Lanzhi didn't waste any words, reached out to take the soup bowl, and drank the ginger soup in one gulp.
"Thanks--"
After thanking him coldly, Xie Lanzhi brushed past him and walked into the noisy bamboo house.
"Ashu was tricked by someone. She has serious internal injuries, damaged organs, and broken meridians."
"What can we do? We are totally helpless with our medical skills!"
"Go down the mountain and bring Chenchen up!"
The last sentence was said by Qin Hairui.
A young man next to him said, "I'm fast! I'll go!"
Qin Hairui sat on the bed and nodded to the young man: "Thank you for your hard work, cousin. Hurry up!"
"good!"
The young man ran out of the bamboo house like a gust of wind.
Qin Hairui saw Xie Lanzhi coming in and said anxiously, "Brother-in-law! Come and accompany Ah Shu!"
Xie Lanzhi didn't need him to urge him and had already walked quickly to the bedside.
He held Qin Shu's cold hand and asked, "What happened? Why did someone attack Ah Shu?"
"A sneak attack?" Qin Hairui was shocked.
Xie Lanzhi looked at his puzzled expression and told him about the corpse he saw under the underground river.
Qin Hairui was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Damn it! No wonder Ah Shu hasn't come up yet, don't let me know who that bastard belongs to!"
He mistakenly thought that the male corpse in the dark river was the person who came with Xu Yangxia and Lingxi, and that someone was behind it.
Xie Lanzhi gently stroked Qin Shu's pale face, and after a long silence, he said, "I'll go and bring the body up."
Someone dared to plot against Qin Shu like this. He couldn't feel at ease until the person behind the plot was found out.
Qin Hairui nodded: "Okay, let Xu Yangxia, Lingxi and the others come and identify him later."
