Before His Death
Yet Gubang's accounts had always been flawless, and Pengzhan hadn't been able to do anything about it even after a couple of investigations! Pengzhan wanted to go all out with Gubang right away, but he didn't have the guts to do so. Gubang's power in the company was too great, and if he was forced into a corner, it wasn't impossible for him to contact the other shareholders in secret to go against the chairman.
That was why Pengzhan had told Lin Yi to observe the situation and act as if he didn't know about Gubang's scheme.
But Lin Yi had played along and blown things up!
The theme park was one of the businesses Gubang was in charge of, and logically speaking, an accident at the theme park could be a big deal! But this was exactly what Pengzhan had been waiting for all this time!
The one in trouble was Yushu, the treasure of House Chen! An accident had happened at the theme park Gubang was in charge of, and Pengzhan believed that no one would object if he were to use this incident to weaken Gubang's authority in the board of directors!
It was a small matter, but it wasn't a small matter when it involved House Chen! The shareholders all knew how powerful House Chen was, and if they were to find out that something had happened to Yushu and that the board of directors hadn't dealt with the person responsible, things would get out of hand.
As a result, no one would stand up for Gubang- it was his fault for being in charge of the theme park. Whether or not he was responsible, he was still the person in charge.
Gubang's power had been reduced, and he couldn't do anything about it. Lin Yi's move was quite a beautiful one, too, making it so that Gubang didn't know that Lin Yi had seen through their plan!
With that kind of wishful thinking, Gubang wouldn't go all out against Lin Yi, since he was still fantasizing about making a move on Mengyao again!
This time, he could use this incident to take back all the entertainment businesses Gubang was in charge of! The company's hotels, nightclubs, karaoke, amusement parks, and carnivals were all cash cows. Who knew how much money Gubang had embezzled from them all these years!
The first step was to take back control of these businesses, and the next step would be much easier to check on. Slowly boiling the frog, Pengzhan wanted to make Gubang lose his power bit by bit, leaving him a sliver of hope every time he attacked him. That was the only way to get rid of this scum without hurting the company's profits.
Faubert explained Pengzhan's intentions to Mengyao, and while Mengyao didn't know much about company politics, Faubert's explanation was very simple: Lin Yi had done his daddy a huge favor this time …
Lin Yi, on the other hand, had no idea how excited Pengzhan was. He'd just thought that it was just a random thought, thinking that the theme park incident might bring some benefits to Pengzhan, but he didn't know that Pengzhan had a plan in place …
The rope snapped the second time, and Lin Yi and Yushu fell straight into the rushing water.
Yushu finally dared to open her eyes- she wanted to experience the feeling of bungee jumping, only to see the rope snap and her head getting closer and closer to the water …
"Ahhh … Shield Bro … …" Yushu didn't expect the rope to snap like this- wouldn't it be over if they fell? Yushu's eighteen years of life flashed through her mind like a movie as she watched herself plunge headfirst into the water.
Was she going to die? Yushu felt the threat of death looming over her as she hugged Lin Yi tightly. "Shield Bro, I don't want to die! I haven't lived enough yet, I haven't been in a relationship, I haven't had a boyfriend, I haven't had a kiss … …"
Lin Yi was speechless- there was no way she could die with him here.
With a splash, the two fell into the seawater. Yushu was still yelling and didn't react in time, and the seawater went into her mouth.
"Glug, glug … …" Bubbles started coming out of her mouth.
Lin Yi wanted to cover Yushu's mouth with his hand so that she'd stop moaning. She'd really choke to death if she did that, but Yushu's arms were wrapped around him like an octopus, and he couldn't move at all.
In a moment of desperation, Lin Yi kissed Yushu fiercely, blocking her mouth to stop the seawater from pouring in.
Yushu was still in a daze, so she didn't feel anything when the seawater poured into her mouth, but she did when Lin Yi kissed her. She opened her eyes wide, trying to look at Lin Yi, but she couldn't open her eyes in the water … …
Oh … … Did this count as Shield Bro fulfilling her wish before she died? She'd just said that she'd never been in a relationship, that she didn't have a boyfriend, that she'd die without a kiss … … And now, Shield Bro was kissing her!
Yushu felt her cheeks heating up. Was Shield Bro her boyfriend? Probably, since they'd confessed to each other … … Yushu comforted herself. If that was the case, then so be it. Dying together with Shield Bro wasn't something she'd lived in vain … …
Lin Yi wanted to break free from Yushu's arms, but the current was a little strong, and the two of them were tied together by the waist and feet. Yushu was hanging from his body as well, and Lin Yi couldn't swim at all.
In just a short while, the seawater had washed the two of them far away.
Lin Yi finally broke the surface with Yushu in his arms, and saw that there was no end in sight … …
"Fuu … …" Lin Yi moved his hands away from Yushu's mouth and took a deep breath. Fortunately, Lin Yi could hold his breath underwater for a long time, or he'd be dead already.
Yushu, on the other hand, had already fainted in his arms.
Lin Yi reached for his shoe and pulled out a blade, cutting the rope around their ankles. Lin Yi didn't touch the rope around their waists, leaving Yushu tied to his body. It'd be safer for him to carry her.
The blade in his shoe was Lin Yi's ace in the hole. He'd used it on two of Cihua's golden class masters earlier, and he didn't expect to use it again so soon.
He put the blade back in his shoe and Lin Yi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sun in the sky, trying to figure out where he was. After a while, Lin Yi took a deep breath and swam to his left with Yushu.
Swimming with another person was a very taxing task, but after practicing the Art of Dragon Mastery, he didn't feel tired at all. He only needed to chant the incantation once, and his spirit would be refreshed again.
