Tang Pengze turned around and saw Lin Chaoyu fall into the pool with a splash. He immediately pushed Lu Xi away and jumped into the water, splashing water all over Lu Xi and Zhang Xiaoya.

When Lin Chaoyu was very young, she had experienced drowning before. Thus, she had a phobia of water. She was very afraid of the feeling of suffocation when she was submerged in water. The moment she fell into the water, Lin Chaoyu felt that her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were filled with water. Fear filled her entire body. She struggled with all her might, but her body was still falling weakly…

Just as Lin Chaoyu was in despair, a warm and strong embrace suddenly surrounded her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.” A deep voice echoed in her ears.

Tang Pengze carried Lin Chaoyu and swam out of the water. Lin Chaoyu immediately felt her respiration return. She coughed and spat out the water in her chest before fainting. Tang Pengze looked at the wet and pale face of the woman in his arms. Her eyes were still tightly shut and her brows were slightly furrowed. She couldn’t wake up no matter how he tried to awaken her.

“Lin Chaoyu!” He called out the woman’s name, but Lin Chaoyu still didn’t respond. Her hair kept dripping with water, and Tang Pengze couldn’t help but feel even more anxious. He was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he hurriedly carried Lin Chaoyu in his arms and prepared to leave this place and return to his room.

Lu Xi stood at the same spot and bit her lip as she looked at Tang Pengze. Her teary eyes were filled with sorrow. However, when Tang Pengze walked past her, he did not even look at her. Lu Xi chased after him unwillingly. “Ah Ze…” As she spoke, she reached out and wanted to pull on the corner of Tang Pengze’s shirt.

At this moment, Auntie Zhang stopped in front of Lu Xi. “Miss Lu, please behave yourself.” Lu Xi stood in spot as she stomped her feet. She looked at the two of them with hatred in her eyes.

As Tang Pengze carried Lin Chaoyu, he strode forward and his whole body exuded coldness. Suddenly, he ordered the bodyguard beside him, “Break the legs of the woman beside Lu Xi!” A cold voice came out of Tang Pengze’s mouth.

“Yes!” The bodyguard bent down slightly and left immediately. Very quickly, a woman’s wails could be heard from the courtyard. Zhang Xiaoya was lying on the ground in pain and was slightly curled up. Her body was still trembling uncontrollably, as if she was in unbearable pain. After a while, she closed her eyes and fainted.

Lu Xi came out of the villa nervously. She saw that Zhang Xiaoya’s lower half of her leg was already covered in blood! Seeing this scene, her expression turned even uglier. Meanwhile, Auntie Zhang, who was at the side, personally checked Zhao Xiaoya’s injuries. After confirming that her bones were broken, she calmly called an ambulance.

In the ambulance, Zhang Xiaoya woke up. Suddenly, a piercing pain swept through her entire body. “Ah! My leg… My leg!” On the stretcher, Zhang Xiaoya couldn’t help but cry out bitterly and kept howling.

Lu Xi sat at the side. She was very annoyed by Zhang Xiaoya’s ruckus. She had an impatient expression on her face, and she felt even more frustrated inside. Lu Xi recalled the anxious expression on Tang Pengze’s face when he carried Lin Chaoyu and left in big strides. That was something she had never seen on Tang Pengze’s face before.

Did he care so much about that woman?! The more Lu Xi thought about it, the more jealous she felt. Her slender fingers clenched tightly, and her nails dug into her palms. The resentment in her eyes seemed to be overflowing. At this thought, Lu Xi suddenly took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.

“Hello?” A gloomy male voice came from the other end of the phone. “What’s up?”

“Do me a favor,” Lu Xi said with a dark expression. Her tightly clenched fingers revealed her inner turmoil, as if she was plotting something..
