Chapter 270 - Something Happened
Lin Yi walked up to Mengyao, lowering his head and putting his lips next to Mengyao's ear …
"Wha … What are you doing?" Mengyao jumped in fright. Lin Yi's actions were a little ambiguous, especially when his breath was right beside her ear. It gave Mengyao a weird feeling.
Mengyao subconsciously turned her head to the side, a little annoyed. Wasn't it enough that the guy was messing with her best friend? Was he messing with her now?
"Faubert'll be here soon. Don't panic if something happens to me and Shu later, don't move. Just wait here for Faubert." Lin Yi didn't answer Mengyao's question, instead quickly whispering into her ear.
"Hm?" Mengyao blinked. She was just about to ask Lin Yi what was going on when Lin Yi stood up and smiled at her before walking to the edge of the bungee jumping platform with Yushu.
Pengzhan had told Lin Yi to wait and see, not wanting to fall out with Gubang so soon. There were still a lot of things in the company that hadn't been completed yet, and Gubang still had a lot of power in his hands. Falling out with him now would only make him more desperate.
But Pengzhan never would've guessed that these people were trying to kill Mengyao. He wouldn't have let Lin Yi jump in if he'd known that it would be dangerous, even if he had to go all out with them.
But Lin Yi didn't really mind. He wouldn't die even if he did, and Pengzhan could use this as an excuse to reorganize the company. An accident at an amusement park wasn't a small thing.
It was just an accident at best, but the amusement park was Gubang's business. Gubang wouldn't be able to escape the blame if something happened to the amusement park.
"We can start now." Lin Yi said to Ma.
"Alright, I'll count to three and you guys jump. It's no big deal, just close your eyes at first." Ma said to Lin Yi and Yushu in a very 'professional' manner.
Lin Yi nodded. Bungee jumping … It wasn't exciting at all for him. Jumping off cliffs and into the sea was a common occurrence for Lin Yi, and he was used to it.
Yushu, on the other hand, was a little scared- Lin Yi could feel the girl's breathing quickening, a layer of sweat forming on her face …
"One, two, three, jump!" Ma was worried that Yushu would go back on her words again, but he pushed her away, causing her to stumble and fall towards the cliff with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was trying to buy some time for Faubert to come, but he didn't expect Ma to be this impatient. He was such an eyesore, but did the person behind him want him dead that badly?
Ma had only pushed Yushu a little, and Lin Yi could've easily stabilized his footing. But that would definitely cause a conflict with Ma, so Lin Yi decided to jump off.
The amusement park was a public place, and Lin Yi couldn't just kill Ma even if he were to turn against him. Turning against him would only make the person behind Ma desperate.
Lin Yi didn't know the specifics of the mission, but Pengzhan was his first employer, and he had to be responsible for his employer's plans.
"Ahhhh!!!" Yushu shrieked as her arms tightened around Lin Yi, forgetting that she had to spread her arms out when bungee jumping …
"Shu, you're hugging me to death … …" Lin Yi was hurting from Yushu's arms.
"Shield Bro, I'm so scared … … Ah … …" Yushu yelled as she fell downwards, finally reaching the end of the rope. The two of them paused for a moment before bouncing up with the help of the rope's elasticity.
"It's okay, you can open your eyes now." Lin Yi said, thinking that Ma would definitely do something to the rope, and he and Yushu would fall into the sea.
He'd wanted to find a place to land on the cliffside, but the cliffside was too slippery. They'd probably smoothed out the edges of the cliffside for the purpose of bungee jumping, in case the tourists got hurt.
Mengyao stared blankly at the empty bungee jumping platform … Lin Yi's words kept replaying in her head … …
"Faubert will be here soon. Don't be nervous if something happens to me and Shu, and don't move. Just wait here for Faubert."
Would something happen to him? Why did he say that something would happen to him and Shu? Did he know something? Was he just joking around to scare her? Mengyao was starting to get frustrated when she heard a commotion from the nearby tourists.
"The rope broke!"
"Something happened!"
"The man and the woman fell into the sea!"
Mengyao was just about to ask when she saw more and more tourists rushing towards them, surrounding the edge of the cliff! Mengyao quickly stood up and looked towards the direction of the crowd. What she saw shocked her!
The rope that was tying Lin Yi and Shu had broken, and only half of it was left in the air. Lin Yi and Shu were nowhere to be found! All of a sudden, Mengyao's head buzzed. She was dumbfounded!
Did something happen to Lin Yi and Yushu? Just like that?
"Shu! Lin Yi! " Mengyao pushed her way through the crowd, yelling Yushu's and Lin Yi's names at the top of her lungs …
"Miss, are you a friend of the two who fell in?" An old aunty looked at Mengyao sympathetically. "My condolences, miss. I heard that they didn't even show their heads when they fell in …"
Mengyao felt like all her energy had been sucked out of her body after hearing the old aunty's words. She stared blankly at the rapid waves below …
"Tsk tsk, what's wrong with this theme park? Why is it so unsafe? They've been in there for so long, and there's no one to save them. Who's going to come here next time? "
"Yeah, I just bought a ticket. It's lucky that they haven't started jumping yet. Who knows if I'd fall in too?"
The crowd was talking about Lin Yi and Yushu's bad luck, but no one was willing to jump into the sea to save them. It wasn't that people were too cold-blooded, but they might die before they could save them.
Thinking back to what Lin Yi said to her before he jumped, Mengyao suddenly understood … Had Lin Yi sensed the danger?
Why else would he tell her not to worry if something happened to him and Shu?
