The moment Fang Ze jumped into the sea, he had only one thought in his mind.

We must rescue Shi Yue safely.

Because there are lifeguards on the yacht, they will go to rescue Liang Yu.

He couldn't be in two places at once to save two people.

But when he rescued Shi Yue and lifted her onto the lifeboat, he realized that the lifeguard had not gone into the sea to rescue Liang Yu at all.

They just wanted to drive the lifeboat over to rescue people.

But he stopped the lifeboat.

Because Shi Yue had swallowed a lot of seawater, he wanted her to get ashore as soon as possible.

He just wanted to save Shi Yue as soon as possible.

He didn't know that there was only one lifeboat on the yacht.

When he turned around and saw Liang Yu struggling and calling for help in the seawater, his body sinking little by little, he originally wanted to rush over immediately to save Liang Yu.

But Shi Yue's weight held him back.

He could only lift Shi Yue onto the lifeboat first, otherwise no one would survive.

When the lifeguard also jumped into the sea and swam towards Liang Yu.

Fang Ze saw a strange man grab Liang and run into another lifeboat, which sped away right in front of him.

Liang Yu was finally rescued.

Fang Ze's heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

But he did not regret it.

He couldn't bear to see Shi Yue get into trouble in front of him.

Because Shi Ya was gone right in front of him.

He couldn't let Shi Ya's sister die in front of him too.

The lifeboat sped to the shore, and Yan Qi carried Liang Yu horizontally, quickly leaping ashore and following Kang Liang's directions, running towards the ambulance.

Ignoring the surrounding noise, he held the person in his arms tightly, took long strides, and ran wildly toward the ambulance that was already waiting on the shore.

When the waiting medical staff saw him hurrying over, they immediately unfolded the prepared stretcher and had Yan Qi place Liang Yu on it and push him into the ambulance.

Yan Qi followed closely behind in the ambulance and stayed by the stretcher, his large, well-defined hands tightly gripping Liang Yu's cold fingertips.

His shoulders and back were ramrod straight, his eyes were filled with a gloomy and malevolent aura, and the oppressive atmosphere around him made the medical staff afraid to make a sound.

Shortly after the ambulance started moving, another ambulance arrived with sirens blaring.

Fang Ze helped Shi Yue, who was soaking wet and shivering, off the lifeboat and hurriedly put her into an ambulance.

Fang Ze looked at the taillights of the first ambulance as it drove away, and the tearing pain in his heart intensified, almost as if it would devour him alive.

He suppressed the burning pain in his heart and got into the ambulance where Shi Yue was.

But all he could think about was Liang Yu's desperate look in the sea.

Fang Ze took a deep breath, trying not to think about Liang Yu. He glanced at Shi Yue, who was still in shock, put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered a few words of comfort.

In front of the hospital's emergency building.

Yan Qi rushed down the stretcher and escorted Liang Yu into the emergency room.

He remained tense, leaning against the wall outside the operating room, waiting quietly until the red "Operation in Progress" indicator light came on.

Bloodshot veins were visible under Yan Qi's long eyelashes, and seawater dripped from his forehead, sliding down his fair cheeks to his neck.

His soaked clothes clung to his body, clearly outlining his broad shoulders, long legs, and slender, toned physique, giving him a powerful and alluring presence.

But Yan Qi's sinister and chilling aura spread like fungus, creeping into every corner of the waiting room.

It makes your hair stand on end just by taking one step closer.

Time passed second by second.

Yan Qi remained motionless and extremely quiet.

His hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white, his nails almost digging into his palms, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

Not long after, Fang Ze also helped Shi Yue rush to the emergency room.

He handed Shi Yue over to Dong Xiao and rushed out of the operating room to check on Liang Yu's condition.

Fang Ze had just stepped into the waiting corridor outside the operating room when he bumped into a tall man who blocked his way.

The man was slightly taller than him, with bloodshot eyes and a fierce aura surging within them.

The man's wet clothes accentuated his muscular physique, exuding a cold, hard power and a strong sense of oppression, like an enraged beast that could tear a person apart at any moment.

Yan Qi's narrow eyes stared at Fang Ze, his cold gaze seeming to devour and crush him.

Before Fang Ze could react, Yan Qi grabbed him by the collar and dragged him roughly in front of him.

The two were extremely close, and Yan Qi's voice was icy cold:

"Are you blind? She was desperately calling for help in the sea, and you turned around and saved other women?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Qi's other fist, carrying immense force, slammed into Fang Ze's face.

A muffled thud.

Fang Ze's head was turned to the side by the blow, blood instantly spilled from the corner of his mouth, and a burning pain shot through his cheek.

Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, then his anger flared up, and he suddenly raised his hand to retaliate with a punch.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qi raised his hand and firmly grasped Fang Ze's fist.

Yan Qi's grip was incredibly strong, as if he wanted to crush Fang Ze's hand bones.

Fang Ze was no pushover either; he swung his other fist, ready to deliver a powerful blow to Yan Qi's cheek.

But Wang Ming intercepted it with both hands.

Wang Ming hurriedly separated the two men who were facing off. He first bowed respectfully to Yan Qi, then apologized to Yan Qi and Fang Ze with a forced smile.

"President Yan, President Fang, I organized tonight's event. This incident is entirely my fault for poor planning. I accept the punishment. Please, both of you, do not resort to violence in the hospital."

Fang Ze didn't know Yan Qi at all, nor did he understand why Yan Qi was so furious with him, but seeing how respectful Wang Ming was to Yan Qi, he knew that Yan Qi's identity was not simple.

Fang Ze suppressed his anger, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and frowned slightly as his fingertips brushed against the wound.

He stared sharply at Yan Qi opposite him, and said without the slightest fear:

"President Yan, no matter what your reason was for hitting me, I am very grateful to you for saving Liang Yu. The situation in the sea was complicated, not what you saw."

Then he looked at Wang Ming and said:

"Mr. Wang, I don't think I've met Mr. Yan before. Could you please introduce us?"

Wang Ming immediately smiled and began to introduce:

"President Fang, President Yan is the second master of the Yan family and the real boss of our Haicheng private equity firm. It was President Yan who made the decision on your Fang family's capital increase."

Fang Ze was startled, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that the man in front of him, soaking wet and exuding a fierce aura, was actually Yan Qi, the second master of the Yan family, who controlled the Yan family's global financial business.

The thought that Yan Qi's outburst of anger towards him was because Liang Yu had fallen into the sea and he hadn't rescued him immediately struck him as absurd and unbelievable.

The second master of the Yan family, who has connections to the heavens and can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, could have any woman he wanted. So why would he care so much about Liang Yu, who has a disability in both hands?

Fang Ze looked at Yan Qi and greeted him politely:

"President Yan, I've long admired your name. I never expected to meet you in this kind of setting and in this kind of way."

"However, I believe that the capital increase for Fang's will not disappoint President Yan. Fang's will be the biggest dark horse in the technology industry in recent years."

Changing the subject abruptly, Fang Ze said without any hesitation:

"I'm very grateful to President Yan for saving Liang Yu. Did President Yan know Liang Yu before?"

Yan Qi lowered his eyes slightly, his narrow gaze sweeping over Fang Ze, his innate nobility and undisguised contempt evident as he coldly retorted:

"What's your relationship with Liang Yu? Do we need to tell you whether we know each other or not?"

Yan Qi's rhetorical question carried a strong sense of punishment and deterrence.

Each word was like a heavy hammer, relentlessly striking Fang Ze.

If Liang Yu is his wife, how can he explain that when his wife fell into the sea, he decisively went to save another woman?

If he can't explain his relationship with Liang Yu, then on what grounds does he have to ask Yan Qi if he knows Liang Yu or if they have a relationship?

For a moment, Fang Ze didn't know how to answer the question.

Seeing that Fang Ze didn't answer, Wang Ming immediately put on a smiling face and smoothed things over, explaining on Fang Ze's behalf:

"President Yan, please don't misunderstand. Miss Liang is just Mr. Fang's employee. As the boss, Mr. Fang naturally cares about his employees."

Wang Ming didn't know the true relationship between Liang Yu and Fang Ze. He just assumed that Fang Ze hadn't realized Yan Qi cared about Liang Yu, which was why he was in a hurry to smooth things over.

I'd also like to remind Fang Ze not to ask questions he shouldn't.

Yan Qi gave a cold sneer, his thin lips parted slightly, and his deep voice carried a layer of ferocity with each word:

"An employee? Is she just your employee?"

A subtle stalemate permeated the corridor.

Despite the overwhelming sense of oppression, Fang Ze remained upright and did not back down in the slightest.

He met Yan Qi's sinister gaze directly and asked in return:

"President Yan seems quite concerned about Liang Yu. Does President Yan know that Liang Yu is already married?"

He paused, then added:

"President Yan, the person who should be waiting here for Liang Yu is Liang Yu's husband."

Yan Qi's sinister and chilling aura, emanating from his very bones, instantly amplified thousands of times, coiling around everyone in the corridor like a venomous snake.

It seemed as if it could devour and destroy everyone present in an instant.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Fang Ze, his voice low and deep, as if it came from underground:

"Where was her so-called husband when she fell into the sea?"

Yan Qi leaned slightly closer to Fang Ze, his tall shadow enveloping Fang Ze's entire face.

He looked down at Fang Ze with disdain, his gaze as if he were looking at an ant.

"If her husband can't protect her, I wouldn't mind sending him to hell myself."

The deep voice was like the rumble of thunder before a storm, making people feel extremely oppressed and fearful.

Fang Ze froze on the spot, unable to move.

The air in the corridor suddenly became suffocating, and no one dared to utter a single word.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft "beep" sounded, the red indicator light suddenly went out, the operating room door slowly opened, and medical staff pushed the gurney out of the operating room.
