Butler Zhao took an ice pack wrapped in a towel, and Jiang Zongnan held the ice pack and applied ice to Jian Yuxing. He remained silent, with a storm gathering in his eyes.

Jian Yuxing was really in pain, but many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't care about Jiang Zongnian's emotions for a moment.

"Dad and aunt will be so sad to see you coming home like this."

"I'm going back to my apartment and won't be going home."

"Jian Yuxing, you walk around Jiangcheng like a bully, no one dares to provoke you, and those who dare to touch a hair on your head, unless they don't want to get along in the country. You are unruly and have a strong sense of self-esteem. I slapped you unintentionally, and you ignored me for half a year. Now Su Lingzhi hit you, and you still act like a little coward to comfort her and lie to me?" Jiang Zongnian suppressed his anger, "What is your relationship with Su Lingzhi?"

Jian Yuxing came back to his senses, his smile became more gentle, and the emotions he naturally revealed were comparable to those of an actor, "I really like Su Su's personality, we get along very well, I treat her as my sister."

"She has enough brothers. Besides, you have a sister, but have you ever been so kind to your real sister?" This was the first time Jiang Zongnian stared at his eyes so coldly, as if he wanted to find some flaws. "Ah Xing, do you like her?"

"Brother, you're overthinking it. No matter how bad I am, I won't compete with A Zhen for a woman." Jian Yuxing smiled gently, "What are you thinking about?"

"If emotions are controlled by reason, then wouldn't that mean..." Jiang Zongnian took a deep breath, "then it wouldn't be emotion."

"I like Su Lingzhi, it's not a love between a man and a woman."

Jiang Zongnian thought to himself that even if it was not a love relationship between a man and a woman, it was more than friends but less than lovers. Just based on this slap, Jian Yuxing tolerated it. His tolerance for Su Lingzhi was beyond his expectations.

"So, why did she hit you?" Jiang Zongnian said in a deep voice, "If you don't want me to cause trouble for her, you'd better tell the truth."

"She is Azhen's girlfriend. How can you cause trouble for her? Will Azhen allow it?" Jian Yuxing raised his eyebrows, "Stop it."

"You give it a try."

Jian Yuxing saw the seriousness in his eyes. He sighed helplessly and said, "She and I played an inappropriate joke. It's a secret between us. I can't tell you. Brother, can you allow me to have a little secret?"

Jiang Zongnian's answer was to take an ice pack and press it hard on his face.

Of course, Gu Zhen and Su Lingzhi parted on bad terms. When he came to find Jiang Zongnan and Jian Yuxing, they had already planned to leave. It was Jian Yuxing who originally wanted to see Su Lingzhi.

Although he had applied ice, his cheeks were still red and swollen. Gu Zhen said, "Ah Xing, I'm sorry."

"Alright, I was the one who provoked her, so it's not unfair for me to get slapped. Ah Zhen, you need to be more careful these days and keep a close eye on her. She's in a bad mood."

He saw it without Jian Yuxing's reminder.

Su Lingzhi returned to her room from the garden, took a bath and fell asleep. She had just recovered from a serious illness and was in a bad mood. She was unwilling to talk to anyone.

In order to find out what happened to Su Lingzhi, Gu Zhen asked Director Yu for all the behind-the-scenes footage of the variety show. Director Yu edited all the footage of Su Lingzhi and sent it to Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen spent the whole afternoon watching it and was furious! He was mostly angry about the intimacy between her and Qin Shen. He was even more emotional when watching the truth-telling scene. However, he didn't care about being angry and focused on Su Lingzhi's emotions.

When playing truth or dare, she was in a good mood, optimistic, lively, and not polite at all when confronting people.

When they set out to bungee jump, there was nothing wrong, but Gu Zhen noticed Su Lingzhi's fear. Yes, her whole body was stiff and her legs were weak. The camera was very close, and Gu Zhen easily noticed that something was wrong. If she was so scared, why did she jump?

Apart from Su Wan's few mild provocations on the platform, nothing else happened, so it could only have happened during the fall.

But after falling, she fell into a coma.

What happened to her?

In the middle of the night, Gu Zhen woke up suddenly and looked around habitually. The bed was cold and Su Lingzhi was nowhere to be seen. Gu Zhen got up suddenly without a trace of sleepiness in his eyes. She was clearly fine before going to bed. She didn't eat dinner and he didn't force her. When he returned to the bedroom, Su Lingzhi was already fast asleep with long and even breathing.

He glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was three in the morning.

Weilan Garden was quiet, without a sound. Gu Zhen called Su Lingzhi, whose phone was on the dressing table. He searched everywhere, including the bathroom, guest room, study, and corridor, but couldn't find her.

In the middle of the night, Gu Zhen did not alarm others and called to check the surveillance camera. There was only one person on duty in the monitoring room.

"Where did Su Lingzhi go?"

"In the garden, by the pool."

Gu Zhen nodded. There were two people taking turns in the monitoring room of Weilan Garden at night, and bodyguards were also patrolling the periphery. As long as Su Lingzhi was in Weilan Garden, nothing would happen.

When Gu Zhen approached the swimming pool in the garden, he discovered that Su Lingzhi was wearing long-sleeved pajamas and was completely submerged in the water, quietly, as if she had drowned.

"Su Lingzhi!" Gu Zhen yelled, but Su Lingzhi didn't react at all. She lay dead at the bottom of the swimming pool. Her face was deathly pale and her eyes were closed.

A chill rushed to his scalp. Without time to think, Gu Zhen dived into the swimming pool and pulled Su Lingzhi up.
