Yue Wuque stepped back, pursing his lips speechlessly. Tsk, he didn't really want to hear Jin Sesan's answer either. He had eyes; he could tell at a glance whether Jin Sesan liked Tu Mi or not. Previously, he had only guessed that Jin Sesan liked Tu Mi, but he hadn't expected that Jin Sesan truly did.

Yue Wuque shook his head. It was a pity. No one wanted Jin Sesan and Tu Mi to be together. No one in the aristocratic families wanted it, not even people from the Jin and Tu families. Of course, apart from the Tu and Jin families, the other three major families were the least willing to want it.

Garden Secret

Yue Wuque stared at the group of people before him, his face contorted with a mixture of joy and anger. "Who sent you...?"

Yue Wuque's eyes swept across the surroundings, scrutinizing every detail, before a pleased smile appeared on his face. "He sent you. Let me guess who's behind this. Is it Jin Sesan..."

Yue Wuque carefully observed everyone's expressions when he mentioned a name.

"Ye Tianzhu........."

"Could it be the Tumi...?"

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions when he uttered the name "Tu Mi," Yue Wuque smiled gently. "So it's you, Tu Mi... Unexpected, yet perfectly logical."

Seeing the knowing look on Yue Wuque's face, the leading man realized something was wrong and that the matter needed to be resolved quickly. He said, "Break his legs!"

Tu Mi stood at the window of the secretariat, looking down at Yue Wuque. Yue Wuque's legs had to be broken!

After breaking Yue Wuque's leg, the group ran away without stopping.

Beneath the blooming flowers, amidst the blood, Yue Wuque was stained crimson from head to toe. Despite only having lost a leg, Yue Wuque looked as if he were about to die, his expression one of utter madness.

As if sensing Tu Mi's gaze, Yue Wuque suddenly looked up at the floor where Tu Mi was located in the secretariat, and gave Tu Mi an exaggerated smile, completely ignoring the bleeding wound on his thigh.

Tu Mi stood on high and looked down at Yue Wuque. Although Yue Wuque's leg was broken, Tu Mi was not happy. Obviously, Tu Mi had been exposed to Yue Wuque, and Yue Wuque knew that Tu Mi was the mastermind behind it all.

Yue Wuque looked up and silently said to Tu Mi, "Come down."

As if afraid Tu Mi wouldn't see him, Yue Wuque even gestured to her. Tu Mi saw it clearly, and his eyes instantly darkened, but there was nothing he could do. Yue Wuque had discovered him, and he had to go downstairs as Yue Wuque had asked, and come to the secluded spot in the garden.

Tu Mi peeled back the rose petals beside her, stepped into the flower garden, looked down at Yue Wuque whose thigh was bleeding profusely, and asked in a pretentious manner, "Do you need me to call 120 for you?"

Yue Wuque sat on the ground, leaning against a trellis full of roses, and looked at Tu Mi with a smile, "You should have done it a long time ago."

Tu Mi leaned closer to Yue Wuque, bowing down to look at him with cold, gloomy eyes. After a long while, a smile slowly appeared on her handsome face. "Yue Wuque, you are very smart."

Yue Wuque looked directly into Tu Mi's eyes. Even in this situation, a gentle smile remained on his face, as if gentleness was his very skin, which would only fall off upon his death. "Thank you for your praise, Tu Mi. You are also very clever."

Tu Mi slowly squatted down, pinched Yue Wuque's chin with one hand, and slowly brought her head closer to Yue Wuque. Her calm eyes locked onto Yue Wuque's pupils, and her red lips whispered in Yue Wuque's ear, "Yue Wuque... you don't want people to see you when you have an episode, do you?"

As she spoke, Tu Mi suddenly stepped back, and with her other hand, she shook the medicine bottle at Yue Wuque. The granular medicine violently struck the bottle wall under the shaking, making a crisp sound.

Yue Wuque's pupils dilated, his chest heaved violently, and he reached into his pocket—empty!

"Tu! Mi!"

Tu Mi ignored Yue Wuque and instead paced back and forth among the roses, saying, "Hey~...........Hey~.........Yue Wuque, I bet you're about to have a relapse~"

Then, Tu Mi turned to look at Yue Wuque and asked with concern, "Do you want it?" As he spoke, he handed the medicine bottle in his hand forward.

Yue Wuque tried to calm the turmoil in his heart and asked gently, "What do you want?"

Tu Mi looked at Yue Wuque, "My request is very simple: just pretend that nothing happened today, and that I am still the one behind the scenes. Hmm?"

Yue Wuque's eyes held a deep, unfathomable darkness as he gently said, "Alright."

Tu Mi smiled and repeated Yue Wuque's words, "Okay?" After saying that, Tu Mi's eyes crinkled with laughter. He looked at Yue Wuque and said in a deep voice, "I want your weakness, one thing for another."

If he simply gave the medicine bottle to Yue Wuque, Yue Wuque might very well go back on his word. After all, breaking a verbal promise would only incur moral condemnation. What he wanted was for Yue Wuque to be unable to go back on his promise! The position of guild leader was hiss for the taking!

Looking at Tu Mi, who was laughing and threatening him not far away, Yue Wuque was a little suspicious. Was it Tu Mi who was having an episode or him? Why did Tu Mi seem a little crazy?

Then, Yue Wuque sincerely suggested: "When you have time, go see a psychologist."

If Tu Mi is the person behind the scenes, then the list of mental illnesses that Tu Mi mentioned before is very likely fake.

Ignoring Yue Wuque's words, Tu Mi repeated, "Your weakness will be exchanged for something else."

He added, "Otherwise, you'd have to have a breakdown in front of everyone today. Do you think you'd still be able to compete for the position of president then? Vice President Yue..."

The next second, Tu Mi saw Yue Wuque's breathing become unsteady and his body tremble violently, just like when Yue Wuque had his episode under the Yue family's pavilion last time. Tu Mi quickly took out his phone and took a picture of Yue Wuque's current state, then fed him the medicine, and of course, he also took a picture of feeding him the medicine.

Unexpectedly, Yue Wuque was in such a serious condition that he could not even swallow medicine. Tu Mi pried open Yue Wuque's mouth, stuffed the medicine in, and then tore off Yue Wuque's clothes to press on the wound on his thigh to prevent Yue Wuque from bleeding too much and going into shock. Of course, this was also to wake Yue Wuque up due to the pain.

Sure enough, Yue Wuque trembled as he swallowed the medicine in his mouth.

Seeing that Yue Wuque had finally swallowed the medicine, Tu Mi's tense body relaxed without him noticing. Although he had said in front of Yue Wuque that he wanted Yue Wuque to lose his composure in front of everyone, Tu Mi still didn't really want to do it. Now that Yue Wuque had swallowed the medicine, he didn't need to worry about anything anymore. The ambulance would be here in a few minutes, and he had also obtained the photos of Yue Wuque's episode. He wasn't needed here anymore.
