The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 256: Strange Guangyun Tower Competition

Accompanied by the exclamations of the crowd and Li Zheng's shouting, he fell from the platform.

The whole person slammed to the ground. Although he hit a protruding log when he was still about ten feet away from the ground, which slightly slowed down his falling speed, he still fell to the ground.

"what!"

The moment Li Zheng landed on the ground, his right leg fell first, and he screamed in pain.

The people around were frightened and gathered around.

Yang Manman stood there in a daze. It took her a while to react before she hurried forward.

"Li Zheng, how are you?"

Damn it, it was just a climb up a platform and a chance to win a prize, why did he fall down?

Li Zheng ignored the pain in his body, covered his right leg, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Legs, my legs!"

Li Zheng's leg bones were probably broken. He felt a piercing pain and began to feel dizzy.

Yang Manman stood there, not knowing what to do for a moment. When she heard Li Zheng say his legs hurt, she hurried to check his legs. As a result, she didn't control the strength when she stretched out her hand and pressed directly on Li Zheng's knee.

The latter screamed, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

This time Yang Manman was completely panicked and hurriedly shouted for a doctor.

Fortunately, Guangyun Tower had a doctor ready. Someone quickly came forward to check the injuries and ordered Li Zheng to be carried to the room for treatment.

As for Shen Yanxi, he had already won the prize and got off the platform smoothly.

Although Li Zheng's fall scared some people, it did not affect the people's desire to watch the fun.

Seeing Shen Yanxi coming down smoothly with the prize, the crowd cheered.

Yang Manman, who was about to leave with Li Zheng, stopped when she heard the cheers. She turned to look at Shen Yanxi, Jiang Suining and others, her eyes full of unwillingness.

"Miss, what are you standing there for? Let's go quickly." The people carrying Li Zheng urged.

Yang Manman was annoyed, she turned around and yelled, "Why are you rushing me? I'm not a doctor, just carry him and treat him."

This attitude instantly made several people look unhappy.

"Aren't you two together? Besides, we all saw it just now. If you hadn't kept urging him, would this young man have fallen down?"

"Nonsense! He fell down because he was incompetent. What does it have to do with me?"

"If you have the guts, go and tell this young master's family the same thing. So many people present just now saw it clearly."

"You..." Yang Manman choked and suddenly felt scared.

Looking at Li Zheng who was still unconscious, he gritted his teeth and did not continue arguing. Instead, he asked several people to carry the man to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

But she didn't notice that when she was disliking Li Zheng's incompetence, Li Zheng's fingers trembled slightly.

Li Zheng was carried away, and Shen Yanxi got the golden lamp as he wished and gave it to Jiang Suining.

The owner of Guangyun Tower also came closer and bowed to Shen Yanxi and Jiang Suining.

"Sir, Miss, according to the rules, whoever wins the lantern can enter the building and choose a painting. I wonder who of you will go to choose?"

Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining and said, "Since the lantern is in your hands, you can choose it."

"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded.

The shopkeeper didn't say much, but just bowed to Jiang Suining again, "Then Miss, please leave your name and address. On the last day of the Lantern Festival, someone will take you into the building to choose."

"Why can't we choose now?" This time it was Chu Changhe who asked the question.

"This is the rule of this building." The shopkeeper said respectfully.

Soon, Jiang Suining left his address and name, and the shopkeeper took note of them and left.

Seeing Chu Changhe still looking at Guangyun Tower, Chu Jingyue explained: "Guangyun Tower has always been like this. Although it is a restaurant, the owner is mysterious and not many people know his identity."

"Then why hold such a competition?" Chu Changhe asked.

This is also what Jiang Suining wanted to ask.

After all, the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is supposed to be lively and festive. Although such a competition is lively enough, it is not good to get hurt or bleed.

Although she had heard of the stage competition outside Guangyun Tower before, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

Today, although no one was injured except Li Zheng, it still felt a bit dangerous. If it was just to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, or to make a name for themselves, or to create a competition to make it more lively, there would be no need to do this.

They even had to sign a promise in advance that they would not blame anyone for their life or death. It didn't seem like they were going there for the purpose of having fun.

“I don’t know about that.” Chu Jingyue shook her head. “However, at first, some people thought that a promise of not punishing someone for life or death was unlucky and opposed it. Some people also suggested that Guangyun Tower should find some protection measures under the platform, but the owner of Guangyun Tower did not adopt any of them.”

"Then why are there so many people coming?" Biyun, who had been standing silently behind Jiang Suining and listening, couldn't help but ask.

"Because the ancient books and calligraphy and paintings collected in Guangyun Tower are really valuable. Not all of them are worth a fortune, but if you sell them casually, you can live comfortably for most of your life. There are even masterpieces by famous artists among them. Three years ago, I heard that a middle-aged man won the first prize. When he was selecting, he found Mr. Jing Tang's "Fisherman's Hidden Picture" among them. Three days after he got it, it was bought by someone for 50,000 taels."

"Fifty thousand taels? That's really rich!" Yuan Liang exclaimed.

"Although not everyone can have such luck, since then, no one has expressed dissatisfaction with Guangyun Tower's climbing competition."

After listening to Chu Jingyue's explanation, Jiang Suining felt more and more puzzled.

If he were just an ordinary businessman, how could he spend so much money, or even rare paintings by famous artists, to hold this competition?

The benefits of this once-a-year climb to the top are thought to be negligible compared to the cost.

However, at this moment and here, Jiang Suining did not ask any further questions.

As the crowd dispersed, Jiang Suining and the others also left Guangyun Tower.

Not long after he walked out, he met Prime Minister Li who was rushing over with his servants.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion received the news quickly." Jiang Suining said as he watched Prime Minister Li running by.

Chu Jingyue also looked at it, thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Yang Manman needs to take responsibility for this incident?"

Neither Shen Yanxi nor Chu Changhe spoke, but they both recalled Yang Manman's urging to Li Zheng just now. Although Shen Yanxi was on the high platform, he could hear it clearly.

Prime Minister Li's figure had already gone far away. Jiang Suining withdrew his gaze and raised his eyebrows.

"That depends on the severity of Li Zheng's injuries."

Just now, when Li Zheng fell off the platform, his right leg landed first. If he could recover without any problems, Yang Manman might be able to escape unscathed.

But if you can’t…

The Prime Minister's Mansion will not give up easily.
