Hong Dali finally understood why she kept her face covered with her hair. She was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, at the peak of her youth. Her eyes, nose, mouth, and silhouette was beautiful. Perhaps not comparable to Tang Muxin or Li Nianwei, but she was in the superior range. But on her face was a rather big black birthmark which made her look like an ink bowl was on her face. Simply put, the female version of Yang Zhi ¹ .

She quirked up the corners of her mouth. “Do I look very ugly?”

Hong Dali simply said, “Actually, yes. It’s very ugly. Even if I said you look beautiful, you wouldn’t believe me, right?”

The lady was satisfied with Hong Dali’s reply. “Yes, you’re very honest. Thank you. I have to leave. It’s my honor to meet someone as honest as you before I die. I’m very happy. Hopefully, we will become friends in my next life.”

As she finished speaking, her body leaned to the front and fell into the water with a plop, in front of everyone’s cries.

Without thinking, Hong Dali jumped into the water after her. Everyone around exclaimed. “This young master is really outstanding, giving help where it’s needed!”

But what went through Hong Dali’s mind was: “Who the heck pushed me from behind?!”

Seeing Hong Dali jump down, his lackeys naturally couldn’t pretend they didn’t see anything. Some ten of them jumped in in an instant. Someone even shouted from the side, “Someone fell into the water, quick save them!”

Then they saw Hong Dali happily swimming in the water like a fish.

Freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly stroke. As Hong Dali got into the mood, he even swam dog paddle!

Everyone was shocked, but Hong Dali was having fun!

Hong Dali encountered a problem like this just as Side Mission 2, Nature’s Best Friend, was completed. There was no better time than now. He was invincible in water. He didn’t get a chance to experiment before, but now he swam to his heart’s content.

The water was warm and Hong Dali didn’t feel a bit cold. The buoyancy force was strong, and he could change the current as he wished—All he did was strike a few poses, the force moving him forward was done by the water current in Fengyuan Lake!

The lady was sinking. Hong Dali ferociously dived and quickly saw her.

Her white dress helped him to spot her easily...

Pulling the lady’s hand, Hong Dali dragged her up to the surface. The lackeys then took over and pulled both of them the rest of the way. After about five or six minutes, they were finally safely on land.

Hong Dali had forgotten that someone had pushed him down the water. “Damn, it felt really good swimming! Haha!” All he felt was happiness that he had saved someone today.

Tang Muxin anxiously approached Hong Dali, despite the fact that Hong Dali was all wet. She worriedly asked, “Dali, are you okay? Did you choke on water?”

Hong Dali grinned widely as he replied, “It’s okay, what could happen to me? I was like a fish in the water.” He looked over at the lady and said, “You really jumped in. You scared me so much my heart was in my mouth.”

The lady coughed and hoarsely said, “Why, I can’t die even if I want to?”

Hong Dali thought about it and fished out his mobile phone. He looked at it, not bad, it was indeed worth its price. It survived the swim. He hurriedly said, “Don’t be in such a hurry, let me show you something...”

As he spoke, he looked for a picture of a person who drowned to death and showed it to the lady, saying, “Look. At least your figure looks great now. If you had drowned to death, this is how you’d look...”

Love of beauty was human nature, regardless of whether they were beautiful or ugly.

This lady was already ugly, but she could at least be proud of her figure. Seeing photos of people drowned to death, the lady was finally calm. “If I drown, this is how I will look?”

Hong Dali nodded. “That’s right.”

She was finally scared. “I... I’m not jumping anymore... Thank... Thank you...”

It was a relief to hear that. Hong Dali waved at the bystanders and said, “Everyone can leave. It’s okay now. I’m her brother and I’ve convinced her not to do silly things anymore!”

The bystanders slowly dispersed. Those who had taken off their shirts and prepared to save her didn’t even get to perform CPR. They must have done something wrong.

Hong Dali rubbed his chin. “To be honest, that’s a small matter.” At that moment, one of his lackeys had brought out blankets from the car for them. Hong Dali brought the lady to the car and said, “Actually, you don’t look that bad. It’s just a mark on your face. All you need is surgery. Why take things so hard?”

The lady buried herself in her arms, embarrassed. “Actually, I know that. But I don’t have money...”

Hong Dali snapped his fingers with a pap. “Oh, that’s a small matter. I can sponsor the surgery first. You can follow me in the future. That can be your advance salary.”

She had just escaped from the jaws of death. She would not let go of this chance so easily. “Are... Are you serious? But... I don’t know what I can do...”

Hong Dali didn’t know what she could do either, but he had a feeling she might be useful. He thought long and hard while rubbing his chin before his eyes suddenly lit up. Laughing, he said, “Although I have not thought it through, do whatever you enjoy the most now. Don’t you enjoy drawing? Draw some cartoon characters, anything will do. Draw whatever you feel like drawing!”

The lady was unsure. “Will... that work?” It was no wonder she thought that way, she had lived her whole life in the shadow of bad luck. It was not easy for her to become confident.

Hong Dali laughingly said, “If I say you can do it, then you can do it. Don’t overthink matters. Let me send you to Ye Lai Xiang. You can spend a night there. Tomorrow, look for Zhang Cai at Chenhui Building. Tell her I sent you. En, there might be a medical team at home. Let me find out more. You can start on your drawings first.”

He had intended to bring the lady home, but he suddenly remembered being pushed into the lake earlier. Hence, he changed his mind suddenly. Before he found out everything about the lady, he should not invite her home.

At this moment, the lady finally realized who this man standing in front of her was. “Oh, thank you, Young Master. You must be Young Master Hong Dali? I didn’t dare to point you out earlier, but only recognized you from your car now.”

Hong Dali chuckled. “That’s right, hehe. What’s your name?”

The lady finally introduced herself. “My name is Zishan, Jin Zishan!” Tears flow down her cheeks. “Young Master Dali, I, I, can I really do it?

Hong Dali roared with laughter. “Of course, you can! There is no limit to one’s dreams. It’s for eternity, and will never end. Hahahaha!”

She covered her mouth gently, her voice muffled from crying. “Young Master Dali...”

Tang Muxin was also moved to tears. “Dali...”

Driver Wang Mingyu nodded discreetly. “Young Master Dali, you have grown. Haha.”

Old Master and Madam will be happy to hear what happened tonight.

Now that everything had come to an end, the jam was eased. Hong Dali sent Jin Zishan to Ye Lai Xiang to settle her down.

On the way home, Wang Mingyu gently said, “Young Master Dali, this Jin Zishan...”

Hong Dali laughed. “En, I know. Do a simple background check. She has a unique feature, it shouldn’t be too hard to find out. What concerns me more is the person that pushed me into the water. I need to know who that is.”

Wang Mingyu awkwardly said, “I understand. I’m sure someone was trying to be funny, but in that situation, it wouldn’t be easy to find the person that pushed Young Master.”

Hong Dali mumbled, “En, just try your best. I was too careless today. It seems many have found out about my improved health and are anxious to do something to me. I’m just wondering where this person could be from...”

Wang Mingyu said, “Both is possible. Old Master has been in the industry for years and is bound to have made some enemies. Young Master Dali is Old Master’s only weakness. It’s impossible for the enemies to be unaware of your existence. Pardon me, but if anything happened to Young Master Dali, I’m afraid Old Master would...”

Hong Dali stretched his body lazily. “I understand. I will be more careful in the future. Aiya, all I want to do is to be a happy prodigal son, spend some money, and walk the dogs as I please.”

With things as such, Wang Mingyu sighed. “The tree stands still but the wind doesn’t stop blowing. It’s inevitable.”

Hong Dali thought about it and decided not to tell his parents about this matter. “Alright, Uncle Wang, let’s not mention this. Don’t tell my parents about this when we get home. No point making them worry for nothing. It won’t be easy to find the culprit. If they know about this, they are bound to lose sleep over it. I will be careful.”

Wang Mingyu agreed with Hong Dali and nodded his heard. “Okay, I understand, Young Master Dali.”

Back in the Hong Manor, Hong Dali ran through the door and up the stairs. “Mother, I’m home. My clothes are wet, I’ll go change first.”

Lan Ruoxi was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and reading newspapers. “Aiyo, what happened to you?” She got anxious when she heard Hong Dali and quickly asked Wang Mingyu, “Old Wang, what happened? Why are Dali’s clothes wet?”

Wang Mingyu explained the situation about Jin Zishan. “It’s like this, Young Master Dali met a lady by the lake who was trying to commit suicide and saved her.”

Lan Ruoxi was scared to death. “He saved her!? Can he swim? Did he choke?” action

Wang Mingyu smiled as he said, “Young Master Dali is good at swimming. I’m not his match in the water.”

Hearing what happened from Wang Mingyu, Lan Ruoxi took a deep breath. “This little rascal is trying to scare me to death.” She thought about it again and instructed Wang Mingyu. “Someone harboring evil intentions might have seen him when he saved the lady. You have to follow him closely these few days in case anything happens.”

“I understand, Madam, please rest assured.”
