After a while

Ye Tianzhu was subdued by several men. The leader weighed the stone in his hand, then raised it high. The sound of air tearing could even be heard, which showed how much force the man used.

Ye Tianzhu stared intently at the leading man, his eyes dark and unwavering, as if trying to etch the man's face into his very soul. This was the first time he had been so subjugated since becoming a candidate for the Ye family, but this was also the last time!

Then, the man was kicked away by Tu Mi. The other men in gold-threaded black uniforms looked at Tu Mi in horror, completely unaware of where she had come from.

Tu Mi weighed the thick, long stick in her hand and said to the person binding Ye Tianzhu, "Release Ye Tianzhu, or else..."

Tu Mi gripped one end of the stick and swung it downwards with force, causing the airflow to stir up a layer of fine mud and dust on the ground.

A man frowned and said kindly, "Vice President Tu, please don't make things difficult for us. We are just following Senior Jin's instructions."

Meanwhile, the leader of the group, who had been kicked into the woods by Tu Mi, was lying on the ground yelling, "Damn, Vice President Tu kicked people so hard! It really hurts!"

Tu Mi thought for a moment and asked, "Jin Se San, what do you want me to do?"

The man replied, "They want us to break Vice President Ye's leg."

Tu Mi's gaze slowly shifted from the man to Ye Tianzhu, ignoring Ye Tianzhu's silent, sinister, and caged-beast-like gaze. In Tu Mi's plan, Ye Tianzhu and Yue Wuque's abilities had to be equal, otherwise Tu Mi's plan would be difficult to execute. However, if Ye Tianzhu's leg was broken, Yue Wuque's leg was also broken, and Jin Sesan's hand was broken—tsk, isn't that perfect? ​​They would then be considered equals in a different kind of ability.

Thinking this, Tu Mi asked, "Where is Yue Wuque?"

The man didn't react for a moment. "What?"

"Does Jin Sesan need you to break Yue Wuque's legs?"

The man's eyes flickered slightly. "I'm sorry, Vice President Tu, I cannot answer that."

Looking at the man's appearance, Tu Mi thought to herself: Jin Sesan will probably scheme against Yue Wuque too. Then, he smiled at Ye Tianzhu and slowly backed away, saying insincerely, "I'm sorry, Ye Tianzhu, I can't save you."

After saying that, Tu Mi turned around and left without any hesitation.

Ye Tianzhu stared intently at Tu Mi's retreating figure. Sure enough, Tu Mi wanted something! How could Tu Mi possibly save him?! Slowly, Ye Tianzhu's gaze fell downwards. Why wouldn't she save him? Was he unworthy? Last time, Tu Mi only saved Yue Shuiying; this time, Tu Mi would stand by and watch him die. Ye Tianzhu smiled bitterly. He didn't deserve to be saved!

................

Tu Mi squatted on the tree, admiring Ye Tianzhu's vulnerable expression from above. He had never seen Ye Tianzhu show such an expression before.

Tu Mi didn't leave. He just circled around the sycamore tree behind the group of people and returned to the tree behind Ye Tianzhu. After all, he still had to watch over Ye Tianzhu's broken leg and his subsequent treatment. There couldn't be any mistakes in the process.

The man in the lead, the one who had just been kicked away by Tu Mi, raised the stone high again and then brought it down hard.

"Pfft" "Pfft"............

The birds in the forest were startled and flew away from the trees into the blue sky and white clouds.

The leading man casually tossed the bloodstained stone on the ground and said to the other men in gold-embroidered black uniforms, "Let's go."

The other men immediately released Ye Tianzhu and quickly left with the leader, leaving Ye Tianzhu lying on the ground with no one to help him.

Tu Mi squatted on the ground, frowning as she looked at Ye Tianzhu on the ground. At this moment, Ye Tianzhu's white robe with gold thread was already stained with blood. He supported his right leg with one hand and used the other hand to support himself on the ground to prevent himself from collapsing.

There's a problem! Why is Ye Tianzhu in the Wutong Forest? In Tu Mi's memory, Ye Tianzhu rarely comes to the Wutong Forest. Why is Ye Tianzhu here today?

Ye Tianzhu was in such a state that it was extremely difficult for him to stand up on his own. He could only barely stand up by using the trees next to him. However, the tree closest to Ye Tianzhu was still about a meter away from him. Then, Tu Mi watched as Ye Tianzhu crawled slowly over on the ground, dragging his right leg with one hand, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

Tu Mi's pupils shrank. When had he ever seen Ye Tianzhu look like this? Putting aside the four great families, even candidates from small families were always glamorous and elegant in public. How much more so for candidates from the four great families? Even if Ye Tianzhu was an illegitimate child, he had never faced such a situation since being selected as a candidate for the Ye family.

Just as Ye Tianzhu was about to touch the tree, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his broken right leg also slamming hard against the ground. He endured the pain without crying out, only letting out a muffled groan.

The hibiscus tree heard Ye Tianzhu's unsteady breathing, but could still discern a ruthless intent in his voice, "Moon, without, flaw!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Tu Mi's eyes. It turned out that Ye Tianzhu's arrival in Wutong Forest was orchestrated by Yue Wuque. Wasn't Yue Wuque currently allied with Ye Tianzhu? Could it be that Yue Wuque was also colluding with Jin Sesan? This... couldn't be.

Tu Mi watched as more and more blood flowed from Ye Tianzhu's body on the ground. She was really afraid that Ye Tianzhu would bleed to death. Moreover, judging from the wound, it seemed to be on Ye Tianzhu's thigh. Tsk, where are Ye Tianzhu's lackeys? They are nowhere to be seen at this critical moment.

As Ye Tianzhu was struggling to get up, he suddenly felt a shadow fall on him. He looked up and saw Tu Mi looking down at him from where light and shadow met, her eyes unreadable.

Then, he heard Tu Mi say in a calm voice, "Ye Tianzhu, are you an idiot? Can't you use your phone to call 120?"

Ye Tianzhu remained looking up at Tu Mi, his gaze fixed on her without moving an inch, like a statue.

As he spoke, Tu Mi took off his coat to press on the wound to prevent Ye Tianzhu from bleeding out and going into shock. He instructed, "Ye Tianzhu, don't move. Just stay like this." After saying that, Tu Mi looked at Ye Tianzhu.

Wherever Tu Mi moved, Ye Tianzhu's gaze followed. When Tu Mi looked at him, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyelashes, and slowly nodded.

The ambulance arrived within minutes.

Tu Mi watched as Ye Tianzhu was carried away on a stretcher by medical staff. Even as Ye Tianzhu lay on the stretcher, his gaze remained fixed on Tu Mi until the car door was closed, finally preventing him from looking at her.

Tu Mi watched the ambulance drive away before turning her gaze away. Ye Tianzhu had been really foolish just now. In the past, Ye Tianzhu would have definitely called 120 the moment he was injured, but for some reason today, Ye Tianzhu acted like he had no brains. It was so strange.
