Chapter 673: Chapter 674: Shot and Fell into the Lake

Considering the amount of money Ye Qiu spent, he would definitely need to provide an official admission notice to Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming, instead of letting them enroll under some other pretext.

Now that Zhou Peng was involved, Ye Qiu didn’t even need to go to the Independent Institute of Jinling University in person. He directly transferred one million yuan to Zhou Peng and told him the names and high schools of Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming. Zhou Peng’s people would handle the matter from there.

However, they had just started admitting second-tier students, and the Independent Institute would be admitting next, likely around mid-August before Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming would receive their admission notices.

"Ye Qiu, where are we going to play?"

The original Ye Qiu grew up in Jinling, but he rarely went out to play, usually staying around Jiangbei. The current Ye Qiu hadn’t gone out to play much either.

But now, in the middle of summer, amusement parks were definitely not suitable.

"Let me see, let’s go to Pearl Spring. It should be cool there now."

Liu Lingxiu nodded.

On getting into the car, Ye Qiu drove towards Pearl Spring.

It was a rare opportunity for Liu Lingxiu to go out alone with Ye Qiu, and she was naturally very happy.

Arriving at the entrance of Pearl Spring Scenic Area, Ye Qiu parked the car, queued up to buy tickets at the entrance. Upon entering, he found that the number of tourists was just right.

Now, Ye Qiu was just taking a walk with Liu Lingxiu. The place was full of large trees and bamboo groves, and there were lakes all around, so it felt quite cool inside.

After walking around for a while, it was lunchtime as they prepared to leave. Ye Qiu felt someone watching him.

Looking from a distance, he saw Su Luoluo in a floral dress feeding the fish.

The lake in Pearl Spring Scenic Area was filled with carp, and many tourists fed the fish there.

Ye Qiu hadn’t seen Su Luoluo for a long time.

Neither had Su Luoluo.

She had noticed Ye Qiu earlier, still dressed in his usual way, but now seeming very close to Liu Lingxiu.

She saw Ye Qiu holding hands with the beautifully dressed Liu Lingxiu, walking and stopping.

When Liu Lingxiu noticed Ye Qiu gazing into the distance, she asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at the fish,"

Ye Qiu replied.

The sun was strong, and when Liu Lingxiu was about to pull Ye Qiu away, Ye Qiu saw Su Luoluo looking over at them. She appeared even closer to Liu Lingxiu, almost embracing her as they left.

Watching the figures of Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu, a thinner-looking Su Luoluo picked up a bag of fish food in front of her and continued feeding the fish.

Her eyes were on the carp in the lake, but she occasionally glanced at the departing Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu.

Yesterday, Su Luoluo had also received the admission notice from Jinling University, but she didn’t feel happy at all. She didn’t know why she felt that way.

Before, she felt satisfied that she could get into a prestigious university on her own without relying on her family, unlike those rich or officials’ children.

But somehow, she felt she was missing something, as if something was lacking.

She thought that as time passed, everything from the past would gradually fade away, but she kept having those old dreams.

Especially the one where Ye Qiu pushed her out of the way of a car and got hit himself. That dream recurred often.

Could it be that she dreamt about what she thought of during the day? Su Luoluo didn’t know, but she thought it might be her greatest regret.

Today, she had Steward Su drive her to Pearl Spring just to quietly feed the fish. Unexpectedly, she ran into Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu again.

She had also heard about the things Ye Qiu had been doing recently, from time to time.

She had heard of that "Imperial Cuisine Restaurant" several times and had originally planned to go and try it, but thought better of it due to Ye Qiu.

She thought she might meet him again after starting university at Jinling University. Unexpectedly, they met today.

As Ye Qiu held Liu Lingxiu’s waist and walked ahead, he suddenly felt a sense of danger from behind. Turning back, he expected someone was going to attack him, but instead, he saw something else.

He saw a stranger, a man about forty years old, wearing a hat and sunglasses, dressed no differently from other tourists.

At that moment, no one, including Su Luoluo, noticed the man. He pulled out a gun and shot Su Luoluo directly while she fed the fish!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gun was fitted with a silencer. The man shot Su Luoluo twice in the chest and then ran off.

At this moment, no one noticed as Su Luoluo was shot twice and fell into the lake, except for a few nearby tourists.

Seeing Su Luoluo fall, a tourist screamed, "Someone fell into the lake!"

At first, the other tourists thought Su Luoluo had just lost her balance while feeding the fish and fallen in. But seeing the blood around her and her stillness, the tourists who had wanted to jump in to save her were now too scared and backed off.

"What happened?"

Liu Lingxiu asked.

Ye Qiu witnessed Su Luoluo being shot by the stranger and falling into the lake. He suddenly turned and ran towards Su Luoluo, dragging Liu Lingxiu along.

Reaching the spot where Su Luoluo fell, he handed over his car keys and wallet to Liu Lingxiu and jumped into the lake.

Su Luoluo hadn’t sunk completely yet but was close. Ye Qiu swam over, grabbed her, and swam back to the shore.

Only now did Liu Lingxiu realize that Ye Qiu turned back to save someone.

But what surprised Liu Lingxiu was that this drowning person was none other than their classmate Su Luoluo.

When Ye Qiu brought Su Luoluo to the shore, he saw her lips white, face pale, looking nearly dead, but her chest was still bleeding profusely.

"She was just shot."

Ye Qiu said.

This scenic area had no hospital nearby. The nearest one might have one, but Ye Qiu knew that as long as there was still a breath in her, he could save her.

Su Luoluo’s current state was obvious: those two shots were not fatal. Otherwise, shot at such close range directly in the heart or head, she would have been dead already.

Now that Ye Qiu had rescued her, she was still breathing, but very weak. Given that Su Luoluo was already frail and had fallen into the lake after being shot, her situation was even more critical now.
