Wait and See
Bungee jumping is a new and exciting outdoor leisure activity. The jumper stands on a bridge, tower, building, crane, or even a hot air balloon, which is about 40 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a 10-story building, and ties a long rubber strip at one end to the ankle joint. After that, he stretches out his arms, puts his legs together, and jumps down head first.
The rubber strip tied to the jumper's ankle was long enough to allow the jumper to enjoy a few seconds of "free fall" in the air. When the body was a certain distance from the ground, the rubber rope would be pulled and taut, stopping the body from falling any further. When the body reached the lowest point, the rubber would spring up again, and the person would be pulled up and back down again. This process repeated many times until the elasticity of the rope disappeared.
Lin Yi bought three tickets, and Ma, the bungee jumper, ran over to Lin Yi's group, thinking that Lin Yi didn't know who he was.
"Eh? Yao Yao, look at this guy's face. It's weird. It's swollen. "Yushu said as she looked at Ma's face curiously.
"I don't know, maybe someone pinched him. Shu, why do you care about him?" Mengyao said nervously at the thought of bungee jumping.
She was a bit more timid than Yushu. She'd been looking forward to bungee jumping because she wanted to vent the unhappiness in her heart, but now that she was actually going to bungee jump, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Oh … …" Yushu looked at Ma curiously. "Your face, it's really weird!"
Ma rolled his eyes inwardly. Weird? Wasn't it because you pinched him? And you're calling me weird? But on the surface, Ma could only smile apologetically. "I was born like this, haha! Three of you, please come with me to sign the agreement, and take your weight and blood pressure! "
Before bungee jumping, the participants had to sign a safety agreement, stating that they didn't have any diseases like heart disease or myopia. The theme park wouldn't be responsible for any accidents caused by hiding their condition.
Then there was the insurance, which was included in the price of the tickets.
Since Ma wanted to kill Mengyao in the first place, he didn't pay much attention to the blood pressure and weight measurements. He just waved his hand to indicate that there were no problems.
"Alright, that's enough. Who wants to go first?" Little Mahjong put away the signed agreement and asked.
"Yao Yao, you go first! I'll let you have the first time!" Yushu giggled as she looked at Mengyao. "We agreed on it!"
"Good my ass!" Mengyao glared at Yushu, but said faintly, "Fine, I'll go first."
What the two agreed on wasn't bungee jumping, but the promise of marrying the same man. Mengyao was the older sister … Of course, he'd let her have the wedding night …
But, this was something she could talk about when she was younger, but now that she was older, Mengyao felt a little embarrassed.
Ma was overjoyed when he heard Mengyao's words. Mengyao went bungee jumping first, it'd be much easier for him. "Please follow me!"
Mengyao and Yushu walked in front with Lin Yi at the back. Lin Yi didn't know if he should expose Ma's identity, or pretend not to know?
Lin Yi didn't know how Pengzhan's arrangements were going, so he didn't want to alert the enemy. After some hesitation, he dialed up Faubert's number. Lin Yi wanted to see what Faubert had to say.
"Faubert, it's Lin Yi. I'm at the theme park, and there's someone trying to harm Miss Chu. Should I expose him, or … "Lin Yi said softly.
"Hold on, I'll ask Mister Chu." Faubert said, and the phone went silent. After a while, Faubert's voice came through again. "Mister Lin, I've talked to Mister Chu. He said that it's best if you don't alert the enemy. He's in the middle of setting up a trap, and he's worried that the enemy might do something desperate if you alert them!"
"I understand, I'll wait and see." Lin Yi nodded.
"Of course, this is under the premise that Yao Yao's safety is guaranteed. If someone threatens Yao Yao's safety, please don't hold back, Mister Lin!" Faubert added.
"Of course, I'll protect Yao Yao and Shu. But Faubert, if you have time, it's best if you come to the theme park as well. I want to follow them after this and see who's behind them." Lin Yi said.
"Alright, I'll head over now. I'll drive fast, and I'll be there in about twenty minutes. Where are you at the theme park?" Faubert asked.
"Bungee jumping here." Lin Yi said.
"Okay, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone with Faubert, Lin Yi quickly followed up. He acted as if he was just answering a call from a friend. Someone at Ma's level didn't notice anything wrong at all.
As far as he was concerned, Lin Yi didn't know that he was the 'faceless man' in the haunted house yet.
Lin Yi followed, only to see that Mengyao was already tying the rope around her body under Ma's guidance.
Lin Yi frowned. He wanted to stop her, but he remembered Faubert's words. He hesitated. Pengzhan didn't want him to alert the enemy, but what if these people did something to Mengyao while she was bungee jumping? It'd be too late even if Lin Yi wanted to save Mengyao!
The best way was for Lin Yi and Mengyao to bungee jump together. That would reduce the risk to the lowest, but would Mengyao agree to it if the two of them were tied together?
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about his next move, Mengyao looked at the waves at the bottom of the cliff. She was a little scared. "I … I want to get ready …"
Ma didn't want to drag it out, but he couldn't do anything about it. The rope was tampered with, and only Mengyao could use it- other tourists couldn't use it. Ma was reluctant, but he could only smile. "Then get ready … But it's not a big deal, it's your first time bungee jumping, you'd be scared. You'd just close your eyes and go down, and when you open your eyes again, you'll see the world before you …"
Ma had bungee jumped before, so he was able to make sense of the situation. Mengyao didn't suspect anything, but Lin Yi had seen through it a long time ago. He couldn't help but find it funny.
Mengyao's cowardice gave Lin Yi time to react. He walked to Mengyao's side and picked up the rope Mengyao was hanging from, wanting to take a closer look at it.
