C176 (1/2)

After entering the water, the pleasure boat moved very unsteadily. Everyone was running around in panic, causing the pleasure boat to stop and lose control.

”Ah …” ”Save me …” Some people took advantage of the chaos to attack, while others were pushed into the lake.

”Ah …” ”Don't, let me go.”

Another ”plop” sound rang out.

Sun Jinzi's heart sank, she originally thought that she was the one being targeted, but who knew, she was planning to catch him off guard.

She gritted her teeth and a dagger she had prepared earlier emerged from her sleeve.

”Second Miss Sun, should I send you off, or should you jump down by yourself?”

As expected, very soon, someone came up to him.

These were a group of little girls with ordinary and unremarkable faces and ice-cold gazes.

Needless to say, they were trained killers.

Sun Jinzi did not speak, and only stared intently at them.

In the distance, she seemed to see Jin Chupei. Previously, he was on the first floor, but now, he saw chaos and came up for her sake.

However, it seemed to have come a little too late.

”I'll jump.” Sun Jinzi was very calm from beginning to end.

Sun Jinzi rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was about to tighten her plain belt again, someone pushed her from behind. She reflexively bowed a little, and then, she leaned against the side of the boat.

”What do you mean?” Well, she could dance.

”You're too long-winded. Master has instructed us to move faster.”

Sun Jinzi saw the ominous glint on their faces clearly, and only then did she finally confirm that Sima Yuzhu truly had the intent to kill.

She was only trying to stall for time, how could she be stupid enough to jump into the lake? This was not an artificial lake dug out by some small flower garden.

”Don't mess around, the boat isn't even soaked.” Sixth Prince ran up from the bottom of the stairs, and did not see any place that was soaked in water.

However, they had messed up too much. This sound didn't seem to have much effect.

However, the few princes who had the guts were actually able to stabilize themselves and gave up on the matter of finding a life-saving boat.

The Sixth Prince took this opportunity to slowly move towards Sun Jinzi.

”Someone's coming.”

”Throw her down.” Someone said in a vicious tone.

Sun Jinzi clenched her teeth, seeing that Jin Chupei was already coming over, she was even more unwilling to jump down.

He squatted down again, drew out the dagger in his hand, and with a casual wave of his hand, chopped off the finger of one of the servant girls who was walking at the front.

”Ah …” With that heart wrenching sentence, everyone was scared, Sun Jinzi received a buffer of time.

In just a moment, Jin Chupei had already flown over and stood protectively in front of Sun Jinzi.

”If you don't want to die, then scram.” Sun Jinzi had never seen the aura on her body before.

His facial features were still as handsome as before, but the light in his eyes seemed to have emerged out of the cold night, shooting straight at the crowd that had turned into a circle.

”Withdraw.” ”Retreat!” Several people shouted at the same time, retreating backwards.

Sun Jinzi's heart relaxed, the hand holding the dagger slowly drooped.

”Be careful!” Suddenly, a cold light flashed by. It turned out that those people didn't really retreat, but rather intentionally disturbed their thoughts. Then, taking advantage of the moment when they weren't prepared, they attacked again.

”Plop …” Sun Jinzi felt a chill all over her body, and when she looked up, it was pitch black.

”Ugh …” From the very beginning, Sun Jinzi's mouth was already flooded with water.

”Don't be afraid, we're under the pleasure boat.” Jin Chupei's voice was low and gentle.

Sun Jinzi's chaotic mind immediately recovered. As long as Jin Chupei was still by his side, she was not afraid of anything.

Sun Jinzi straightened her back. Although she was in the middle of the lake and her entire body was shivering due to the ice like lake water, she had ignited a hint of confidence in herself.

”Zi Er, can you still hold on?” Sun Jinzi's movements were very big, and Jin Chupei could feel it, but he was afraid of the cold.

After all, although it was already late spring, the weather was still not warm. The lake water was icy and cold, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on.

”I... I'm fine. ”

Sun Jinzi learnt her lesson this time, and only when they appeared did she speak up.

Her eyes were wide open, and she could not see anything outside either. She knew that it was probably just as Jin Chupei said, that they were forced to hide under the pleasure boat.

”Help! Someone fell into the lake!”

It was a complete mess. Some were crying and shouting, while others were holding bamboo sticks and stirring in the water. It was unknown whether they were trying to save or kill him.

”Don't move.”

A loud voice suddenly rang out.

”It's the Fourth Prince.”

Sun Jinzi could obviously hear his voice.

One must know that in her previous life, she had chased after his figure for so long that she was already familiar with Jin Chuxuan to the point that she didn't even need to do anything while standing there.
