Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After splashing and struggling in the water for a few moments, Shen Ning’s head began to pound, and her ears rang with a loud explosion. Her consciousness gradually blurred.

The area where she fell into the water was a deep section of the pool, relatively less crowded. This was why Wu Lili and her lover had chosen it for their secret rendezvous.

“Ning Ning!” The first person to arrive was Li Zhijun, who splashed and jumped into the pool.

In fact, Li Zhijun’s eyes had been on Shen Ning all along. He had been waiting outside since she started playing the piano. However, when she rushed out from inside, a friend had pulled him away, and he lost track of where Shen Ning had gone. While he was searching, he heard someone shouting for help and rushed over, recognizing Shen Ning’s voice immediately.

Shen Ning’s voice, he could pick it out in an instant. So, he jumped into the water without hesitation.

When Li Zhenting arrived, Li Zhijun had just jumped into the water.

It was just a swimming pool, so Li Zhenting stood by the edge, waiting for Li Zhijun to rescue Shen Ning before lending a hand.

But what he didn’t expect was that Li Zhijun, once he jumped into the deep end, suddenly experienced a leg cramp and began screaming in pain.

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Zhenting immediately removed his coat and jumped in.

“Hurry, go save Shen Ning; she’s already unconscious,” Li Zhijun shouted in pain as he swam towards the railing.

Shen Ning?

Li Zhenting was stunned upon hearing her name. How did she suddenly fall into the water?

He dived into the water, quickly spotted Shen Ning lying unconscious on the pool’s bottom, and cursed under his breath. He swiftly retrieved her and swam towards the pool’s edge.

“What’s going on here?” Several guests who hadn’t left yet looked at the unconscious Shen Ning in astonishment and asked in confusion.

Everyone shook their heads.

As soon as Li Zhenting reached the shore, he placed Shen Ning’s abdomen on his knees and administered firm back blows, successfully removing a significant amount of water from her stomach. He continued with artificial respiration until her face regained a healthier color, and then he rushed her to the hospital.

“Big brother, what should we do? Mommy fell into the water,” Coco cried out in distress.

“Don’t worry, Daddy has already rescued Mommy and taken her to the hospital. She’ll be okay,” Coco reassured him, gently patting his back.

“But who pushed Mommy into the water?” Coco asked angrily.

“We don’t know yet, but Daddy will find out eventually,” Coco said, holding Coco’s hand. “For now, let’s head back home and visit Mommy tomorrow.” The disruption of tonight’s banquet had already been more than enough!

Taking advantage of the chaos, the two youngsters made their way outside and hopped into a sightseeing car to leave.

The night was profoundly dark.

In the hospital room, Li Zhenting was on the phone.

“Mr. Li, after reviewing the surveillance footage, we discovered that tonight, Wu Lili brought a man with her. They were engaged in an affair near the deep end of the pool when Shen Ning caught them. They got into a fight, and eventually, the man threw Shen Ning into the water,” Leng Xue reported.

A cold glint flashed in Li Zhenting’s eyes as he instructed, “Notify the head of security that from now on, Wu Lili is not permitted to enter Li Mansion. Anyone who allows her entry will be dismissed.”

“Understood,” Leng Xue replied, then inquired, “Mr. Li, would you like to report the man to the police?”

“No need,” Li Zhenting pondered for a moment and replied, “It’s just a swimming pool, even if we identify him, what can we do? Swimming pools are intended for swimming, after all. He was unaware that Shen Ning had a fear of water and couldn’t swim. We won’t be able to press many charges, and it would only draw more attention to the incident.”

“Alright,” Leng Xue agreed and ended the call.

Li Zhenting turned back to look at the hospital room.

Shen Ning lay on the hospital bed, her face pale, her brows knitted in pain, and her expression filled with suffering.

Li Zhenting turned around.

Shen Ning lay on the hospital bed, her face pale and her eyebrows furrowed. Her face was filled with pain..
