Rose Castle.
After Ye Ling’s body was injured, Shen Qianshu practiced on her own in the mornings and canceled her morning run. Zhong Ran took over the great responsibility of training Shen Qianshu. In a short period of time, Shen Qianshu improved greatly.
“Miss Shen, you are so talented,” Zhong Ran said. “Your strength and angle for every move are incredibly accurate. It’s as if you have been practicing for years.”
“I guess I have a gift for it.”
Tong Hua was doing squats by one side.
Shen Qianshu had forced him to do that. When she woke up to practice, she would make Tong Hua do the same too. In the whole castle, Shen Qianshu was probably the only person who could force Tong Hua up when he did not have enough sleep.
“Yeah. Too talented.” Zhong Ran pat his head. “I remember now. Miss Shen is the daughter of Second Old Master Gu and Fang Hongxiu. Fang Hongxiu was the number one murderer back then. She was very impressive.”
Shen Qianshu’s heart ached.
Yeah, the woman who was so impressive back then had lain in bed for twenty odd years.
Life is unfair.
Tong Hua had none of those skillful talents. He was lazy and a softie. If he could sit, he would never stand. If he could lie down, he would never sit. He was not cut out for fighting, yet Shen Qianshu had forced him to improve on his skills so that he could have some simple techniques for self-defense.
Shen Qianshu and Zhong Ran had a friendly battle that lasted for fifteen minutes. They were both calm. This was a very rare scenario.
Tong Hua did squats for ten minutes, and his pale little thighs were shivering. The good thing was that he was determined. “Mommy, Ah Da is already my bodyguard. Can I not practice?”
“No way!”
“So sad, I’m gonna cry!”
“Then cry.”
Tong Hua said angrily, “I know you don’t love me as much as before anymore.”
The effects of his exercising could already be seen. Due to his heart disease, they did not dare to let him do vigorous exercise. In the morning, he would jog for 400 meters. Now, he could jog for 800 meters. His heart disease was not what people usually had. He could still handle a little bit of stress.
After practicing, Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua returned to the castle. They could feel a sort of pressure the moment they entered.
The security guards were really silent. When the chefs walked, they tiptoed. They were fearful of making any noise that would anger the men in the living room. Ye Ling sat on the sofa, and he was looking at a video on his laptop.
He looked really unhappy.
A simple shirt and a sweater made his skin look so pale. He looked cool. His cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing his white jade-like skin. He was sexy and indifferent. A snowstorm seemed to be brewing.
The guards looked at Shen Qianshu as if she was their savior.
What’s wrong?
Shen Qianshu went over. She had battled Zhong Ran for half an hour today, and her limbs were sore. She went to sit beside Ye Ling, and she poked his arm. Although he had not exercised for quite some time, his arms were still rock hard. He was very muscular.
Ye Ling turned over, and his eyes were very cold.
Shen Qianshu smiled brightly. “What’s wrong, Master?”
“Lu Mengyun has been released.”
“???” Shen Qianshu’s smile on her beautiful face vanished. She looked cool. She took Ye Ling’s laptop, and indeed on the news, Lu Mengyun had been released from prison due to good performance in prison.
The video was taken at dawn.
It was very clear, and the media was causing a commotion.
The person with a failed attempt for murder has been released from prison just after barely half a year?
Shen Qianshu humphed. “The Lu Family is impressive!”
