"Miss Zhang, is there someone on the lake's surface?" One of the ladies from prominent families pointed at the lake, and the group looked over to see what indeed appeared to be clothes floating on the water.
Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, causing two guards to step forward and head towards the lake.
Zong Yunqian was about to pull the person beneath him up, planning to surface before saying anything. But, just as he prepared to float upward, the person next to him suddenly exerted force, shaking off his hand and swimming towards the bottom of the lake.
Zong Yunqian was puzzled. Did she think he was also there to kill her? But under the water, she had clearly seen him coming to her rescue.
Nian Ru was about to leave, but upon turning around, she yanked the man who had suddenly appeared right into the water, drowning him outright. That solved the immediate problem significantly.
