The man who was called Brother Chen was the man with the iron rod. He had been drooling over Tang Beibei for a long time.
When he heard Lu Linlinâs words, he touched and groped Tang Beibei as she struggled.
âGet lost, go away!â
Song Kai turned his head and wanted to push Brother Chen away, but Brother Chen waved the iron rod at him and said, âMy young miss said that if you want to save the other woman, this woman will serve me!â
Song Kai hesitated. He looked at Tang Beibei and then at Ruan Qi.
âLu Linlin, let Tang Beibei go!â
Lu Linlin sneered. âSong Kai, so you decided to save Tang Beibei? Okay. Brother Chen, throw the other woman into the pool!â
It was an abandoned swimming pool. It had been raining and there was water in the pool, but the water was dirty, and the pool was overgrown with weeds. Brother Chen felt that it was a pity and let go of Tang Beibei. He then turned and untied Ruan Qi before he dragged her to the poolside. Ruan Qi was so weak that she had no strength to struggle at all.
Song Kai went to untie Tang Beibei and saw the wounds on her arms. His eyes were red. âBeibei, are you okay?â
âI, Iâm fine. Save Qiqi!â
Tang Beibei didnât have much strength either. She tried to stop Brother Chen but the two men who were standing guard at the door walked in and prevented her from reaching Brother Chen.
Both of them had stun batons in their hands.
Tang Beibei wanted to lunge forward but one of the men shocked her with his stun baton. Her entire body convulsed, and Song Kai quickly pulled her back.
Lu Linlin was very unhappy when she saw Song Kai protect Tang Beibei. âSong Kai, youâre married to me, yet you still want to touch another woman!â
Song Kai let go of Tang Beibei and tried to reason with Lu Linlin. âLet Ruan Qi go. Iâm already married to you. Donât hurt innocent people.â
âTheyâre not innocent at all. Tang Beibei pretends to be innocent all the time. That Ruan Qi also bullied me in the past. I am your wife!â
Lu Linlin stomped her feet in anger and ordered Brother Chen, âWhat are you waiting for? Throw that woman in!â
Brother Chen said a few âokaysâ and threw Ruan Qi into the pool effortlessly. With a bang, water splashed.
âNo, donât!â
Tang Beibei wanted to get up but she was too weak. So, she crawled forward. âSong Kai, save Qiqi, she canât swim!â
Song Kai gritted his teeth and took off his coat, ready to jump into save Ruan Qi but was stopped by Lu Linlin.
âThereâs so little water in the pool. It wonât drown anyone. Iâm just punishing her.â
âLu Linlin, what if something happens to her? You canât afford it!â
Song Kai shook her off and walked to the poolside. The water level was indeed quite low but Ruan Qi was injured. Coupled with the fact that she was weak all over, she fell in and was underwater.
Lu Linlin grabbed him again and said, âSong Kai, you must promise me that you wonât see them again and that you wonât divorce me ever. Then, 1â11 let you save her.â
Song Kai took a deep breath. âLu Linlin, the most disgusting thing Iâve ever done in my life was meeting you!â
Lu Linlinâs heart ached when she heard that, and her eyes were teary. âSong Kai, your words are too hurtful.â
âYou know pain, so you should know that humans are fragile. If this continues, Ruan Qi will die!â
âHow could she drown in such shallow waters? If she drowned, it would be because sheâs incompetent. Iâm your wife and I wonât let you save her!â
Song Kai wanted to strangle her when he heard her unreasonable words.
He shook Lu Linlin off again and she staggered two steps back. She was furious. Song Kai was so nice to Ruan Qi, who wasnât his love interest, but he was indifferent to her.
She took the stun baton from one of the men and pointed it at Tang Beibei. âSong Kai, if you go into the pool, 1â11 put Tang Beibei in a vegetative state!â If the charge on the stun baton reached a high enough level, a shock could injure Tang Beibeiâs organs or even cause her brain death.
Song Kai stopped and turned to look at Lu Linlin.
The saying âhell hath no fury like a woman scornedâ referred to a woman like Lu Linlin.
She was arrogant, unreasonable and she treated human life like a disposable commodity.
Tang Beibei looked at Lu Linlin in shock. âItâs you! You kidnapped us! Why are you doing this?â
âBecause youâre cheap. You shamelessly seduced my boyfriend!â
âSong Kai and I are just friends. We are students of the same teacher. Thereâs no seduction whatsoever!â Tang Beibei looked at Ruan Qi who was sinking into the pool and wanted to get up, but Lu Linlin stepped on her.
âHuh? Donât tell me you donât know that Song Kai likes you. Youâre already married, but you still hang around him. Youâre simply courting death!â Tang Beibei looked at Song Kai in surprise. Ruan Qi had mentioned this to her before, but she never felt that she was worthy of Song Kaiâs admiration.
Because they had the same mentor, the two of them often saw each other at the professorâs office. They greeted each other, and gradually became friends.
She treated Song Kai as a friend, like an older brother. Song Kai would also jokingly call her Little Junior Sister. They would help each other out from time to time and chat about their studies.
Wasnât this normal interpersonal communications in school?
However, she did not expect Lu Linlin to read their relationship as something completely different.
Tang Beibei looked at the pool and roared, âSong Kai, if anything happens to
Ruan Qi, Iâll hate you for the rest of my life!â
Song Kai jumped into the pool and scooped Ruan Qi up. Ruan Qiâs face was already pale and her eyes were tightly shut. She looked like a cold and lifeless corpse.
Lu Linlin saw Song Kai jump in and shocked Tang Beibei with the stun baton. Tang Beibeiâs body convulsed, and she didnât have any strength to fight back. Tang Beibei was in so much pain that she thought she was going to die.
No, she wasnât going to die. She had promised Jiang Jingchen that she would live the rest of her life with him and have kids with him.
If she died like this, Jiang Jingchen would be alone again, and heâd be very sad.
She vaguely heard a cry of surprise, and the electric shock stopped. She tried hard to open her eyes.
Her vision was blurry when she saw a moving figure. It took her a while to see clearly that it was her man.
It was Jiang Jingchen.
It couldnât be her terminal lucidity, right?
âHubby?â
âIâm here, Iâm here,â
It was the manâs deep voice. His heart ached as he picked her up.
Tang Beibei cried tears of joy and hugged him. âHubby, 1 thought that I would never see you again. Sob, sob, sobâ¦â
âDonât be afraid. Iâm here, Beibei.â Jiang Jingchen kissed her with heartache, opened his coat, and held her tightly.
Tang Beibei only stopped crying when she felt the warmth from his body. She leaned on him to stand up and immediately saw Ruan Qi lying by the pool.
âQiqi!â
She wanted to walk over but her legs were weak. It was probably because the drug that knocked her out hadnât worn off. She cried and tugged at Jiang Jingchen.
Jiang Jingchen carried her to the poolside, and they saw Song Kai doing chest compressions on Ruan Qi, but she was unresponsive.
Tang Beibei touched Ruan Qiâs hand and it felt frozen.
Tang Beibei burst into tears.
âQiqi, Ruan Qi, you, wake up, we still have to dance together. Qiqi!â
Song Kai, who was drenched, tried to sense her breathing with his trembling hands.
There was nothing.
She wasnât breathing.
He slumped to the ground.
Song Zhou, who had been squatting by the side quietly, turned ashen when he saw Song Kai check Ruan Qiâs breath.
âMove aside!â
Song Zhou, who had always been gentlemanly and polite when he spoke, cursed out loud. He then kicked Song Kai away and continued to perform CPR on Ruan Qi.
He knew that Song Kai was a medical student, so he didnât move when he was performing first aid.
But now, he was trying to resuscitate Ruan Qi with every mouth-to-mouth breath, like the prayer in his heart, âIâll give my life to you. Ruan Qi, wake up, wake up!â
However, no matter what he did, the woman lying on the ground with her pale face and dark lips did not move at all. After being soaked underwater for a while, her lips were so cold that it made oneâs heart tremble.
âMiss Ruan, hey, wake up. Iâll teach you how to kiss, okay?â
His voice was choked with sobs. He was crying.
He was regretting it.
He really regretted it.
He regretted not saying yes to her and watching her die..
