"Yes!" Tang Sen replied. He turned around and walked over to Pei Luoyi, who was still coughing in the iron cage. He carefully examined the situation and furrowed his brows, beckoning for his subordinates to come over.

When they had arrived, the group had been forced to lower the cage. Before he could even react, the man had already jumped off the lake and passed the rope over to him.

After so many years of experience, it wasn't like he didn't even have this bit of tacit understanding, so when he felt something tugging at him from the other end, he used all his strength and pulled the rope upwards.

Fortunately, everything happened in time.

On this side, the first thing that came to Gong Yan's attention was to look at the restrained Old Mistress with an extremely chilly gaze.

Facing his gaze, the old lady's expression did not change, "Little Yan, what are you doing? Don't tell me you intend to tie me up?"

She harrumphed coldly and didn't look anxious at all after being discovered. Instead, she looked at her own grandson and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being pointed at by thousands of people when you do this?"

The man's body was dripping with water, but he was so cold that not a single trace of his sorry state could be seen.

"A thousand things. Heh."

Drops of water dripped from his hair along the clear lines of his face. "Grandmother doesn't put human life in her eyes. Aren't you afraid of being targeted by thousands of men?"

He had never imagined that this old man would do this before he had personally seen a woman being caged and lowered into the lake.

If it was only because Pei Luoyi was the only woman who had appeared at his side all these years, then her actions were just too excessive.

However, it was very coincidental that he had once heard of such things. As long as they were substituted in, it would make sense. What exactly did she hate to the point of drowning an insignificant woman to death?

His thoughts were pulled back by the elderly man's arrogant laughter. Gong Yan looked at her silently, his gaze sinking again and again.

"I'm afraid? "What's there to be afraid of? Are you going to let this matter be known to the public? Little Yan, we are one family. For such a woman, do you think it's worth it?" She asked with a smile, as if she was completely confident that her grandson wouldn't do anything to her.

Not far away, Tang Sen had used some unknown method to finally open the cage and lift out the dying woman.

Gong Yan tilted his head and looked over. A hint of gentleness appeared on his face all of a sudden, "It's time for me to ask Grandmother if doing this for such a woman is worth it."

By the time he said this, his toes had turned and he was walking toward the woman without looking back.

The smile on Old Mistress Gong's face vanished completely as she emotionlessly looked at the scene a few steps away.

As he approached, he heard Tang Sen call out, "Miss Pei!"

His eyes narrowed, and he immediately crouched down, looking at the woman's pale, bloodless face. "Let me do it."

Gong Yan took the unconscious woman from Tang Sen and stood up. He paused for a moment because of something, then slowly stood up. However, he didn't look too good, even the veins on his forehead were popping out.

"Young Master Gong!" Tang Sen's face darkened as he made a gesture to take the woman back. "Your leg hasn't completely recovered yet. Let me do it."

The man glanced at him and said coldly, "Step aside."

Tang Sen looked at him for a few seconds before silently retreating to the side.

Gong Yan hugged the woman as he walked back to where he came from. The pebbles under his feet undoubtedly exacerbated the pain in his calf, but he still didn't put the woman down.

The scene that Suizhi saw when she ran over was a man with an expressionless face holding a woman and walking towards her.

The two of them were drenched from head to toe. When they got closer, they were finally able to see the woman's face clearly.

Pale and weak, it only took a few days for her to lose a lot of weight.

Her heart skipped a beat and a guilty look flashed in her eyes.

However, these feelings were quickly forgotten by the approaching figure of the man.

She stepped forward and blocked the man's path.

The man's gaze was fixated on the woman's tranquil face. He didn't even raise his head to look at her. "Scram."

The coldness and coldness that was thousands of miles away slowly seeped into Su Zhizhi's heart. It tore open a hole and blood slowly gushed out.

Her fingers curled and loosened, and the tears that had fallen over her battered face were unable to wash away the broken grief.

Today was supposed to be their wedding day. After that, they would be a loving couple.

Not like this, like a passer-by.

Suzhi suddenly lifted her finger to grab onto the corner of the man's drenched shirt. She pulled it, and with a sudden smile on her face, she tried to curry favor with him in a soft yet careful manner, "Yan-gege, since you've already found her, can you come back with me …" The wedding is not yet over. "

A person's wedding was not something she could bear. She could not bear to look at the indifferent faces that laughed at her, nor could she listen to the discussions that would either pity or mock her. She could not imagine what she would be facing after today.

It seemed that as long as this man was willing to marry her, regardless of the past, then she would have the courage to continue living.

The man still didn't look at her. He only called out, "Townsend."

Townsend, who had been following the man, stepped forward at his command. Without much effort, he caught the woman's hand and pulled her to the side.

"No …" No, don't go! You can't leave, Gong Yan! I am your wife, I am your wife! "How can you bear to leave me behind? How can you bear to …"

Suzy slid down feebly and watched the man take a step and then stop.

Her eyes lit up with hope and she quickly got up to chase after him.

However, he heard the man say coldly, "You'd better not let me know that her disappearance is related to you. Otherwise, I don't know what I will do."

After he finished, he left.

The sunny weather an hour ago had changed in the blink of an eye. Dark clouds rolled in from the horizon, and after a few thunderclaps, raindrops sprinkled down.

In the cold room, the woman was laid down on the bed slowly and gently.

Gong Yan's sharp fingers caressed the woman's thin face carefully. He lifted her sharp chin and looked at her more closely.

Perhaps it was because she had suffered too much in the past few days and had slept soundly, but when he straightened up, Vast Expanse opened his eyes and pinched the front of his shirt.

She murmured his name unconsciously like a kitten, "Gong Yan."

"I'm here."

There was no focus in the woman's eyes, her pupils were dim and dazed. She looked at him without any strength to move her lips and said, "Don't go …"
