"But it's my fault, too!" Ouyang Zhenzhu said, suddenly blaming herself.
Zhi Wan snapped out of her daze and asked, confused, "Why would it be your fault?"
Ouyang Zhenzhu said with a regretful expression, "If I hadn't seen Miss Liu in the water that day and run to tell Mr. Lu and Duan Ling, then he wouldn't have ordered her to be pulled out. If she hadn't been pulled out, none of this would have happened. You wouldn't have been held hostage, and you certainly wouldn't have been pushed into the river."
Zhi Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How could this possibly be your fault? Their plan was premeditated. Even if you hadn't seen Miss Liu that day, there would have been another person, and another after that. Someone else would have eventually discovered them and had them pulled out of the water.
Besides, anyone who sees someone in the water can't just look the other way.
You did nothing wrong. The ones at fault are those with ulterior motives."
