Then, a second video appeared.

In the video, Zhang Beixing shamelessly declared that he was a womanizer who liked many women, and that it was his freedom to like whomever he wanted. However, all of that is in the past.

Now that he's Shui Qingli's boyfriend, he plans to sever all ties with his past ambiguous relationships and devote himself entirely to Shui Qingli.

Moreover, he had previously confessed to Shui Qingli that he did indeed have many women, and he admitted to it, but he didn't know if those women had the courage to admit it.

Upon hearing this, Tom Twelve felt his blood pressure soar, and he was furious.

Tom Thirteen, standing to the side, stamped his feet anxiously and asked, "Uncle, what should we do?"

"Don't bother me, how would I know what to do!" Tom Twelve replied irritably.

Tom Thirteen had no choice but to shut up.

But after a while, Tom Thirteen suddenly realized why he was in such a hurry and getting angry.

Tom Twelve wasn't usually very kind to himself.

Seeing him so upset now, I should actually be quite happy.

So, he pretended to be extremely anxious on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.

A little while later, the princess of the Flower Kingdom called in person.

"Uncle, tell me, what exactly happened? Who is this person? Why is he making up stories about me like this? You can't just let him get away with this!" the princess said, her voice trembling with tears.

"Don't worry, my dear niece, your uncle will definitely handle this matter perfectly for you, so don't fret," Tom Twelve quickly reassured her.

But the princess said that if this matter was not handled properly, she might break down and commit suicide.

Shui Qingli also called Zhang Beixing.

"Your move was absolutely brilliant. I bet Tom Twelve and the others are completely bewildered right now. But isn't involving the Flower Kingdom princess in this matter damaging to her reputation?" Shui Qingli said with some concern.

"You're just too kind-hearted, still thinking of others even at a time like this. Why don't you think about how they've treated us?" Zhang Beixing said dismissively.

If she accidentally "offended" this girl, then she could only blame her bad luck for having such an unreliable ruler.

This matter became a hot topic throughout the entire Lin Kingdom.

After a while, Shui Qingli returned to the guest room, ate with the two girls, and talked about the incident.

Zhu Xiaoling said with admiration, "I admire Brother Zhang Beixing so much. I don't know what to do if I were in this situation."

Shui Qingli smiled and said, "Sometimes, taking things by surprise is a better solution."

Shui Lili asked Shui Qingli curiously, "Didn't Tom Twelve come to your office today?"

“They didn’t go,” Shui Qingli replied.

Shui Lili sneered, "Then they deserve it. They were trying to sabotage things behind the scenes, and this is what happened to them."

This matter caused quite a stir in the Kyushu Empire.

That night, Zhang Beixing received countless phone calls, all asking him what had happened.

Zhang Beixing patiently explained, and he felt that most people probably already knew what was going on.

Jiang Wenwu, who lives in the villa, also saw the news.

He was completely baffled by Zhang Beixing's move.

This is completely unconventional.

However, he figured it seemed Zhang Beixing wouldn't be back anytime soon.

As a result, the saintess had no choice but to stay there, and he immediately felt extremely frustrated.

Tian Wenjing also saw the news.

Zhang Beixing was willing to sacrifice his reputation in response, all for the sake of Shui Qingli.

She simply couldn't understand why Zhang Beixing would do such a thing.

"That brat had better stay in Linguo forever and never come back, otherwise I will definitely not let him off easily!" Tian Wenjing said angrily.

Many people are hoping that Tom Twelve will give an explanation.

But Tom Twelve told Tom Thirteen that they absolutely could not respond.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that they are involved in this matter?

Tom Thirteen said, "Yes, Uncle, I was planning to respond online, but after hearing what you said, I realized I almost made a foolish decision."

“Alright, let’s keep quiet from now on and not say anything,” Tom Twelve said.

But this night was destined to be a sleepless one for the two of them.

They felt like clowns.

The next morning, Tom Twelve and Tom Thirteen went to the restaurant for breakfast.

At that moment, a strange man suddenly barged in.

Tom Twelve did not recognize him and assumed he was an envoy from some country.

However, the man walked straight up to them and plopped down opposite them.

Tom Twelve found the man extremely rude, so he asked, "Who are you looking for? Do we know each other?"

The man retorted, "Can you still eat the food here?"

Upon hearing this, Tom Thirteen immediately questioned, "What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with the food?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the man made a startling move, suddenly overturning the table.

In an instant, food was spilled all over the floor.

The man sneered and said, "The food is fine, the problem is with you. You still have the nerve to eat."

Tom Twelve quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

Tom Thirteen shouted, "Help! Help!"

Several security guards were about to rush over when they heard the noise, but then they saw the man suddenly pull out a dagger and stab Tom Twelve.

Fortunately, Tom Twelve reacted quickly, and the dagger did not hit any vital organs, but only grazed his neck.

Just then, several security guards rushed forward and subdued the man.

Tom Thirteen roared, "What exactly happened? You have to give us an explanation!"

A security guard suggested they go to the hospital first, and that they could discuss other matters later, promising to give them an explanation.

Tom Twelve was secretly delighted upon hearing this. He had been worried about not being able to find Shui Qingli, but unexpectedly, someone had come to him of their own accord.

This matter quickly reached Shui Qingli's ears.

Shui Qingli had just finished breakfast and was about to go to work when she heard the news. She was furious.

"What? This actually happened! At this critical juncture, we can't let anything else go wrong."

Although she hated Tom Twelve to the core, she knew he absolutely couldn't be allowed to get into trouble on her turf, or she would be held responsible.

"Who could be so stupid? Could it be that Tom Twelve deliberately hired someone to frame me? It's also possible that this person is from Linguo, but what if they've bribed them? This is really a headache."

Out of politeness, she decided to go to the hospital to get checked out.

There is a top-notch hospital near the King's Palace, which is also the hospital where Zhang Beixing is currently staying.

Tom XII was there, and not only Tom XIII was by his side, but also the private doctor, the pilot, and others surrounded the ward, making it completely packed.

Tom Thirteen even posted about it online, only saying that his uncle had been assassinated there. Although he didn't provide any further details, it left much to the imagination.

Misfortunes never come singly, and Zhang Beixing soon saw the news as well.

But he wasn't sure if the assassin was someone else's doing. With the sound of high heels, Shui Qingli arrived at the ward door with several staff members.

Tom Thirteen was furious: "Shui Qingli, tell me quickly, what exactly happened to my uncle?"

Tom Twelve quickly said, "Nephew, I'm fine. I believe this has nothing to do with the Water King."

At this moment, Tom Twelve behaved unusually gently.

He said that the person must have thought that he was the one who caused Zhang Beixing's troubles, so he misunderstood him and wanted to take revenge.

Shui Qingli stated that, no matter what, she would definitely give Tom Twelve an explanation.

The assassin has now been captured and is on trial.

She will definitely inform us as soon as she has the results.

Moreover, given that the incident occurred in Linguo, Shui Qingli stated that she would make appropriate compensation.

Her meaning was clear: other forms of compensation were possible, but it was impossible to use this incident to blackmail her.

"By the way, Tom Twelve, since you're injured, we can put the Zhang Bei shooting case on hold for now. You don't need to rush."

She also wanted to use this opportunity to enlighten the other person.

Next, Shui Qingli called over the relevant doctors and instructed them to take good care of Tom Twelve.

The doctors assured her they would do their best and put her mind at ease.

Shui Qingli told Tom Twelve to just focus on recovering from his injury.

If you need anything, please feel free to ask.

She's busy with official duties and needs to return to her office.

Tom Thirteen roared again, "Shui Qingli, tell me, did you order that person to come? Don't pretend to be a good guy!"

Shui Qingli simply smiled and said, "I hope you'll watch your words. Don't make things up without any basis, or you'll become a laughingstock."

Tom Thirteen wanted to continue roaring, but Tom Twelve stopped him.

Even after Shui Qingli left, Tom Thirteen remained indignant.

"Uncle, it's obvious that she orchestrated this. Why are you stopping me?" Tom Thirteen said, his face full of resentment.

"You say she did it, but where's the evidence? Without evidence, nothing you say matters." Tom Twelve frowned.

"But I just couldn't stand her arrogant attitude." Tom Thirteen stomped his feet in anger.

"Alright, everyone stop talking. I want to be alone." Tom Twelve waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to shut up.

Shui Qingli did not leave the hospital immediately, but instead turned around and went to Zhang Beixing's ward.

"You've come to see Tom Twelve, haven't you?" Zhang Beixing asked bluntly.

Shui Qingli pouted, feigning displeasure: "Can't you just pretend you don't know and think I came to see you?"

Then, she inquired about the specific details of Tom Twelve's assassination.

Shui Qingli shook her head and said that the verdict had not yet been announced.

But regardless, this matter caused her a lot of trouble.

“That’s right, if this guy wasn’t bribed, he’s a complete idiot,” Shui Qingli said indignantly.

After spending some time in Shui Qingli's ward, she returned to her office.

Not long after, the verdict was announced. It turned out that the man hadn't been bribed; he simply disliked Tom Twelve on his own.

He felt that Lin Guo's shooting of Zhang Beixing and his subsequent online smear campaign against him were clearly targeting Lin Guo.

Moreover, this person had posted an announcement online in advance, just five minutes before he entered the restaurant.

He explained that this was entirely a personal act and had nothing to do with the authorities.

He knew that his actions might put pressure on the authorities.

He also claimed that some people might think that he was bribed by the Flower Kingdom, but that was impossible. In his eyes, the Flower Kingdom were all beasts. How could beasts possibly bribe him?

He also stated that if his "suicide" attempt succeeds, he doesn't care how he is convicted.

He was prepared for the worst.

Shui Qingli had someone tell Tom Twelve the news, and also told him that many people now suspected that Tom Twelve had staged the whole thing himself, but now the truth has come out and it's not like that at all.

She reassured Tom Twelve that this person would definitely be punished by law.

Moreover, once Tom Twelve recovers from his injuries, he must give an explanation for the shooting.

When Tom Twelve in the ward heard the news, he was furious, his lungs felt like they were going to explode. Seeing this, Tom Thirteen quickly went over to massage his back.

Tom Twelve decided to confront Shui Qingli tomorrow, proceed with the original plan, make Tom Thirteen take all the blame, and then they would hurry back to China.

He simply couldn't stay here any longer.

"But Uncle, are we just going to slink back like this?" Tom Thirteen asked, looking unwilling.

"What else can we do?" Tom Twelve sighed helplessly.

Just then, Tom Twelve's phone rang. It was his niece, the princess, calling.

She asked how things were going.

"Wait a little longer, this matter is still being dealt with. I was also attacked and am currently recuperating," Tom Twelve said weakly.

Upon hearing this, the princess was greatly alarmed and immediately asked what had happened.

Tom Twelve explained the situation, and fearing she might not believe him, he requested a video call.

After the video call connected, the princess finally believed him.

She hoped Tom Twelve could give her an explanation as soon as possible, and then hung up the video call.

Tom Twelve was discharged from the hospital the next day. He said he only had a minor neck injury, nothing serious, and it wouldn't affect his walking.

At that moment, he saw a news item in the media in Linguo.

The news said that Tom Twelve's injury saddened Shui Qingli greatly.

However, many netizens believe that some things only cause trouble because they are dragged out for too long.

If Tom Twelve had confessed to the shooting earlier, it wouldn't have angered some people.

Therefore, all the responsibility lies with Tom Twelve.

When Shui Qingli learned of the discussions, she felt that this was wrong and severely criticized such remarks.

Tom Twelve sneered, thinking to himself, if they really criticized it, why did they publish the news?
This is clearly just for show.

"This little girl is really hard to deal with," Tom Twelve muttered to himself.

In the morning, Tom Twelve brought Tom Thirteen to apologize with thorns on their backs.

Shui Qingli also held a press conference.

Tom Thirteen thought he could just apologize in private and that would be the end of it, but he didn't expect this turn of events.

But Tom Twelve had clearly anticipated this.

Tom Thirteen saw the look in his uncle's eyes and knew that he knew what was going on but hadn't told him, which made him feel a little disappointed.

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed. (End of Chapter)
