Yan Ji blurted out, "Watch out!"
Everything happened too quickly. He only had time to grab Jiang Stops's ankle and hold onto the stone block at the same time. In that instant, he stopped Jiang Stops from sliding out.
In the blink of an eye, one of the three people who were originally on the embankment was suspended in the air. All of their weight was tied to the hand that Yan Xuan used to hold the stone block, and they froze in the nick of time.
"I'm a liar … but there's only one thing that I lied to you about." The weight of Bu Wei's fall was too much for Jiang Stops to bear. Every syllable was squeezed out through gritted teeth, "That sentence, 'Your name doesn't mean anything to me …' It's not like that. From the very beginning, you were just yourself in my eyes. You have nothing to do with me. You're not my shadow. "
Bu Wei raised her head. Her only elbow was held tightly by Jiang Stops's right hand. Her weight of more than ten kilograms caused Jiang Stops's pale nails to dig deep into his flesh.
"The King Of Spades lied to you. No matter what he said to you, it was all lies. You're still too young. Before you can see the truth, he has already twisted many of your ideas. But as long as you come up … "
Jiang Stops felt his center of gravity tilting outwards, centimeter by centimeter. Cold sweat trickled down from his temples to his cheeks. Because he gritted his teeth too hard, his face turned purple.
"As long as you come up, I'll tell you everything, Bu Wei. Everything that has happened over the years. Everything —"
Bu Wei finally reacted. Her soft laughter could be heard in the wind.
"Why don't you wait until we're down there and then you can tell me everything."
By then, the balance had reached its limit. Bu Wei grabbed Jiang Stops's arm with her other hand and pulled him downwards with all her strength.
Yan Ji cried out, "Stop!"
The Jiang Stops slid outwards violently. Yan Ji's heart almost stopped beating and his mind went blank. By the time he reacted, he had already grabbed the Jiang Stops' ankle with all his might. Half of his body was leaning out, and in a thousandth of a second, he managed to stop himself from falling.
Then, Bu Wei was like a kite with a broken string, falling straight into the river from the dam that was several meters high!
Plop!
The splashing water was reflected in the depths of Jiang Stops's pupils.
Above his waist, he was completely suspended in the air. The strong wind was howling on the surface of the river, making it impossible for him to maintain his balance. He couldn't even reach the protruding rocks on the riverbank. Jiang Stops stood upside down to catch his breath. Suddenly, he raised his voice and shouted, "Yan Ji! Let go! "
Yan Ji gritted his teeth and cursed, "You motherf * cker …"
"Let go!" Jiang Stops roared in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry … I didn't mean to hide it from you!"
Yan Ji was stunned. Jiang Stops suddenly kicked his hand away. In the blink of an eye, he fell into the river with Bu Wei!
"F * ck!"
Yan Ji cursed from the bottom of his heart. It was more sincere than 24K gold. He rolled to his feet, took off his trousers and kicked off his shoes. Without thinking about anything else, he jumped over the embankment and leaped out!
The river water hit his face and slapped his eardrums hard.
Yan Ji came out of the water with bubbles. He took a deep breath and dived into the river again. He swam forward with all his might.
Fortunately, it was midsummer and the river water was not too cold at night. Yan Ji swam very fast. Not long after, he felt that the water in front of him was turbulent. He quickened his pace and touched a person with his outstretched hand.
The person he touched was definitely Jiang Stops.
Although Yan Xuan was a gangster when he was young, he was still the only son of a rich family. In order to prevent himself from being kidnapped, he had received necessary training in diving, racing, wilderness survival, and so on. Jiang Stops' swimming skills were not bad, but he was not as good as a semi-professional like Yan Ji. He was pulled from behind in a few moves. He struggled to reach the bank amidst the splashing water.
"Huff … Huff …" Yan Ji's wet shirt clung to his chest. As he panted, he forcefully dragged Jiang Stops to a pebble beach under the embankment. He pinched Jiang Stops' chin and slapped his face a few times. He did not use too much strength, but it was not light either. Jiang Stops could not hold it in and finally spat out a few mouthfuls of water.
"Cough cough cough!" Jiang Stops lay on the coarse pebble beach. His face was covered in water. Yan Ji, who was sitting opposite him, pulled him into his arms.
"Are you crazy? How dare you jump into this kind of water in the middle of the night?!"
"I caught her in the water," Jiang Stops coughed and said hoarsely, "Just a little bit more, just a little bit more …"
Yan Ji patted his back again and again.
"She has her own money. She told me that she was going to work in the south. I guessed that she would contact the King Of Spades in the future. Although she would not be able to contact him, she might be able to fish out more of Ginger's accomplices … I didn't expect her to just … "
Jiang Stops' body was wet and cold. He did not know if it was because of his emotions or because he still had lingering fears. He was trembling violently. Yan Xuan grabbed his palm tightly, allowing him to support most of his weight on his body. He sat on the riverbank in a half-hugging and half-hugging posture. He could only hear the wind carrying the sound of water roaring into the distance, disappearing at the end of the distant plains.
"It's useless. You can't save her." Yan Ji said concisely and forcefully in his ear, "Water rescue requires the cooperation of the rescued person, but she only wanted to drag you to death with her."
