The Longcheng Hotel suddenly became chaotic, with the fire brigade rushing to the scene.
The elevator on the west side of the Longcheng Hotel had fallen from the third floor to the second basement floor. According to surveillance footage, there was only one young woman in the elevator, who happened to be the young president of Yue Corporation, Yue Wantong.
However, when the fire brigade arrived, they found that someone was already attempting a rescue.
A ladder was set up in the elevator shaft, and the hotel manager on site mentioned that a young man had already gone down.
Upon hearing this, the fire brigade immediately sent someone down to assess the situation.
As the firefighter started to climb down, he suddenly exclaimed, “He’s coming up!”
In no time, the firefighter climbed back up, followed by a man who emerged holding an unconscious woman with one arm.
The man’s handsome face was filled with grim determination as he looked intently at the woman in his arms, as if she was the only person in his world.
The woman was wearing a beautiful dress and a woolen coat, but both were now stained with blood. Even half of her exposed face was covered in blood, presenting a shocking and heartbreaking sight.
If something were to happen to her, it seemed like this man would also fall apart.
There were already paramedics on the scene, and after being a little shocked at first, they quickly brought a stretcher.
Yu Sheng did not place Wan Tong on the stretcher but instead got into the ambulance with the medical personnel and left.
The media on site captured many images and hurriedly followed by car, hoping to get the next exclusive story.
In the crowd, Yu Jian watched the ambulance drive away, his gaze turning dark as he clenched his fists tightly.
—Even after all this, she still wasn’t dead…
Yue Wantong might be the biggest bug in this world.
Given Wan Tong’s status, this incident quickly made headlines on major media websites.
Photos from the scene were widely circulated.
Netizens had previously speculated about a story between Wan Tong and her bodyguard. However, they were disappointed when they discovered that the bodyguard behind her was no longer that man with a handsome, cold face.
Fans of the couple were collectively disheartened, but unexpectedly, after many months, the two were seen together again, and at such a critical moment.
The bodyguard single-handedly rescued the female president who had fallen down the elevator shaft—doesn’t this make for a perfect couple? Isn’t this story thrilling?
Lu Yun only learned about Wan Tong’s accident through the news. By the time he arrived at the hospital, Wan Tong had already woken up, with Yu Sheng by her side.
Seeing Wan Tong’s pale face, Lu Yun finally felt relieved.
“Tongtong, what happened? What happened so suddenly?” Lu Yun never believed in coincidences, and this incident seemed very suspicious to him.
Given the management system of the Longcheng Hotel, how could there be an elevator fall?
Wan Tong had just woken up and was still dazed.
When she heard the warning from Shishi that Yu Jian had tampered with the elevator, her first instinct was to protect herself. Although Shishi said it would do its best to protect her life, Wan Tong still wanted to rely on herself. So, she immediately sent a message to Yu Sheng, successfully lowering his favorability towards Yu Jian, and finally used a life-saving skill.
Although she survived, she was still injured. She lost consciousness from the intense pain, but she vaguely heard Yu Sheng’s urgent calls.
She was certain that she had ingested Yu Sheng’s blood again, so now she only had some superficial injuries.
The doctor initially thought she might have fractures or even a concussion, but after a thorough examination, he found nothing wrong and repeatedly called it a miracle.
Wan Tong glanced at Yu Sheng and noticed his clothes were still dirty, stained with blood and dust, indicating he hadn’t had time to change.
“It’s already being investigated,” Yu Sheng said with a hard edge in his voice. He didn’t believe it was an accident either.
Lu Yun was more direct. He took out paper and a pen from a nearby drawer and frowned. “List all your enemies.”
He had thought that after Yue Jingye’s death, no one would target her anymore, but he didn’t expect something like this to happen.
Wan Tong hesitated. “I don’t have any enemies. Even the rival company wouldn’t go as far as to kill me.”
No matter how much they suspected, they wouldn’t think of Yu Jian. She didn’t have a proper reason to lead suspicion towards him.
But since Yu Jian was directly involved this time, there must be traces left.
He had erased the surveillance footage, but she could get help from Shishi to restore it…
Thinking this, Wan Tong breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally waited for an opportunity.
However, since he was a mermaid, it wasn’t suitable for the authorities to handle him. It was better to deal with it privately.
That night, Wan Tong was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
Yu Sheng didn’t even let Lu Yun through the front door. After a fight, Lu Yun left with bruises and a swollen face.
With the nourishment from Yu Sheng’s blood, Wan Tong’s external injuries seemed to have healed, and she removed the bandages.
She didn’t know how much blood he had given her, but the effect was so significant. Fortunately, the doctor had bandaged her quickly, or it would have been discovered.
As Wan Tong was about to change clothes, Yu Sheng closed the door and walked up to her with his phone in hand.
She glanced at the message box and suddenly felt guilty.
“Now, can you explain what this is about?” Yu Sheng glared at her with a somewhat sinister tone.
On his screen was her last sent message: “I think Yu Jian seems more handsome than you…”
Wan Tong swallowed and her gaze flickered slightly. She had originally sent it to reduce his favorability for Yu Jian and then use her skills.
If she had to explain now…
“I just wanted to see your reaction~” She suddenly hugged him around the waist, her voice trailing off.
She buried her face in his chest but could still feel his intense gaze.
No matter what, she had to act cute first.
Yu Sheng let out a low hum. He had intended to question her thoroughly, but her soft hug and the sweet voice pierced his heart, making him lose his anger.
Wan Tong nuzzled him, her muffled voice coming from his chest, “A’Sheng, I’m still a little scared…”
Yu Sheng’s heart tightened slightly, as if pricked by something. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her forehead. “I’m here with you, don’t be afraid.”
“Mm…” Wan Tong nodded, a satisfied smile curving her lips.
The romantic boss was indeed easy to coax.
Unbeknownst to her, Yu Sheng looked down at her half-hidden face, his brows and eyes also tinged with a smile of indulgence. He just cooperated with her daily small schemes. If she was happy, he was happy too.
But as soon as he thought of what had just happened, a chill flickered across his eyes.
Yu Sheng was investigating the elevator accident when Wan Tong had the surveillance footage she had obtained restored by Shishi.
Not long after, Yu Jian suffered disaster.
When Yu Jian was caught off guard, Yu Sheng seized him and imprisoned him, interrogating him without missing anything.
These methods were originally taught to Yu Sheng by Yu Jian to deal with Lu Yun, but in the end, they were used against Yu Jian himself. With the mission declared a complete failure, Yu Jian could only leave with resentment.
Yu Sheng didn’t tell Wan Tong about these events, but she learned through Shishi.
On the other side, Yu Sheng erased all traces of mermaids, so the police investigation yielded no results.
In their report, they only stated that someone had deliberately damaged the elevator equipment but couldn’t identify the perpetrator.
After the report was issued, the gossiping netizens expressed sympathy for the female CEO but then suggested she hire bodyguards to avoid further plots.
Wan Tong rarely responded on social media: “Okay.”
This simple word stirred the hearts of many CP fans, but they also began to sympathize with her fiancé, Lu Yun.
Lu Yun sent Zhang Qian back abroad, seemingly placing him under house arrest, but didn’t take his life.
Upon returning to the country, Lu Yun seemed suddenly invigorated and openly declared his feelings to Wan Tong.
Privately, Lu Yun also sought out Wan Tong but was always beaten by Yu Sheng—actually beaten, not just lightly. Yu Sheng never went easy on his rivals.
Yet Lu Yun persisted, provocatively challenging Yu Sheng without blinking.
Sometimes Wan Tong wondered if Lu Yun had fallen in love with Yu Sheng, given that he willingly endured beatings every time. Didn’t he realize he would never get that embrace?
Wan Tong and Yu Sheng got married, and it was during that time that Yu Sheng’s identity as the owner of a billion-dollar antique auction company was revealed, which even inspired netizens.
In this lifetime, Wan Tong had many health issues, so she passed away much earlier than Yu Sheng. After her will was made public, the world was once again shocked.
At 23, she had written a will leaving everything to Yu Sheng.
As everyone reminisced about their decades-long relationship, they couldn’t help but feel sorry for another man.
Lu Yun never married and remained outside their relationship, ultimately getting nothing.
After Wan Tong’s passing, he completely vanished from the public eye.
When attention shifted back to Yu Sheng, it was discovered that his assets had already been taken over by someone else, and he too had disappeared.
rokumi’s note : there are actually a few more paragraphs in this chapter in the raw, but since it’s the start of a new world, and they’re too short to make a separate part, I’ll put them directly in the next chapter.
Is this dropped?
