Although it was a close call, Zheng Lunlun managed to land safely without even a scratch on him because he landed in a river.
The river wasnât cold. In fact, it was refreshing, but Zheng Lunlunâs good fortune didnât last because he soon realized that a snake about 2m long was swimming beside him.
Zhen Lunlung almost shouted aloud because snakes had always been his worst fears.
Calm down, you have to calm down.
Zheng Lunlun reminded himself to calm down because, under those circumstances, it didnât matter how scared Zheng Lunlun was since he could only rely on himself.
After that, he mustered every bit of energy he had and swam to the shore before struggling to get out of the river and ran forward.
âHelp! Help!â Zheng Lunlun heard the call for help and looked up to see that a woman, Luo Fei, was trapped on the tree.
âHelp, please,â begged Luo Fei when she saw Zheng Lunlun, âHelp me.â
That woman was so evil that Zheng Lunlun paused to think about whether he should rescue her.
In the end, he decided that regardless of how vile she was, she was still a person.
Zheng Lunlun couldnât do something as cruel as letting her die.
Hence, after putting in a lot of effort, Zheng Lunlun finally got Luo Fei down from the tree.
The two of them were exhausted and were resting by the tree, panting.
âWhat do we do now?â cried Luo Fei as she turned to Zheng Lunlun, âI think this is an isolated area.
Are we going to die here?â
âHey, donât cry,â said Zheng Lunlun, âWeâre not going to die here. I have friends in D. Nation, and theyâll come to rescue me once they found out that my plane had been shot down.â
âWhat if they couldnât find us?â
âThen we die,â said Zheng Lunlun angrily, âVile women like you donât deserve to live anyway.â
Luo Fei was insulted but she didnât dare to refute and could only be angry on the inside.
Suddenly Zheng Lunlun stopped talking as he stared at the river.
âWhat are you looking at?â asked Luo Fei who traced Zheng Lunlunâs line of sight and noticed something floating downstream.
âWhat is that?â
Zheng Lunlun walked to the river and picked it up. It was a tree bark with the words âSOSâ carved onto it.
That was the international sign for seeking help. Someone had used the tree bark to ask for help?
âThis tree bark floated down the stream so someone must be trapped upstream. It must be Ding Mi and the others!â âTheyâre right upstream!â âWe canât move downstream because thatâd put distance between us so weâll walk upstream, and we should be able to meet them soon,â said Zheng Lunlun excitedly.
Luo Fei was a little disappointed as she thought that b**** Ding Mi is still alive?
If Nan Chen was with them then he would learn about all the things she had confessed to Zheng Lunlun, and that would be the end of her!
What do I do?
Even though she was worried, she acted happy and said, âReally? Thank god Ding Mi and the kids are fine. I will treat them right to atone for my past sins.â
Zheng Lunlun rolled his eyes at Luo Fei and said, âAs if Iâd believe you?â
âI know you donât trust me,â said Luo Fei who acted like she was heartbroken, âBut I will prove it with my actions.â
âYou will confess everything youâve done when we meet them!â yelled Zheng Lunlun.
âOf course,â promised Luo Fei.
The two of them walked upstream with great difficulty.
There were no paths so they had to spend a lot of time to get past the thorns, and even then, they had only managed to walk a couple of meters.
As they walked, they noticed human tracks on the ground.
âLook! The grass had been disturbed there. That means that weâre getting close!â said Zheng Lunlun excitedly.
Zheng Lunlun was excited, but Luo Fei was worried.
Just then, she noticed that Zheng Lunlun, who had been forging ahead, had suddenly stopped short and had stopped talking.
Luo Fei looked up to see that Zheng Lunlun was petrified and was staring at the branch in front of them.
A snake with colorful and bright red spots was curling up on the branch.
Normally, the more colorful a snake was, the more poisonous its bites, and that particular snake was long and thin with a weirdly-shaped head so it was obvious that it was poisonous.
Ordinary snakes would crawl away when they see humans, but poisonous snakes were aggressive so Zheng Lunlun dared not make a move.
Luo Fei felt like that was her opportunity.
Zheng Lunlun was the only one who knew all the things she had done so if he were to die, then her secret would be safe.
The only way for two people to keep a secret is if one of them is dead!
Having thought that, Luo Feiâs eyes shone evilly as she shouted, âgo to hell!â
Then, she pushed Zheng Lunlun forward.
Zheng Lunlun wasnât prepared for that so he fell forward and stood right in front of the snake.
The snake noticed Zheng Lunlunâs sudden approach and responded by biting Zheng Lunlunâs neck.
Zheng Lunlun didnât feel much pain. It was like he was stabbed by needles, but the spot where he had been bitten quickly started to go numb.
With his last bit of energy, he grabbed the snake and yanked it off of his neck before tossing it away.
âLuo Fei, you b****! You ambushed me!â
âDonât hate me, Zheng Lunlun. This is all because you decided to stand by that b**** Ning Ran!â âYou donât know, do you? Ding Miâs real name is Ning Ran, and she is my sister, but I hate her! I hate her so much!â âAnyone who sided with her must die!â said Luo Fei with gritted teeth, âSo you can go to hell!â
Zheng Lunlunâs vision started to become blurry and his hearing was fading so he couldnât hear what Luo Fei had said afterward.
He could only see Luo Feiâs ferocious expression and her darkened eyes.
Then, his vision went away completely, and he was gone.
Luo Fei watched Zheng Lunlun falling downwards while white foam leaked from his lips.
âHahahaâ¦â
Luo Fei laughed aloud at her good fortune. As long as he dies, no one will ever find out what I did!
I can continue being Nan Chenâs girlfriend! He would be so touched when he finds out that I had ventured over for him!
As for Ning Ran, Iâll find another way to kill her and her two bastards!
Luo Fei walked past Zheng Lunlun, and kept moving forward as she shouted, âHelp, help!â
The first one who heard Luo Feiâs call for help was Qiao Zhan.
Zheng Lunlun and the others had landed near the place Nan Chen was staying at, but there were too many trees so they couldnât see. However, Luo Feiâs call for help was carried by the wind, and her voice traveled to them.
âMr. Nan Chen, it sounded like a call for help,â reported Qiao Zhan, âBut it comes and goes.â
âThat must be from someone who had jumped from the plane,â said Nan Chen, âThe voice comes and goes because it was carried by the wind. If we move against the direction of the wind, we will be able to find and rescue them!â
âYes sir!â
As Nan Chen and the others walked downstream, Luo Feiâs call for help became louder.
âMr. Nan Chen, I think thereâs a woman here,â said one of the team members who was walking ahead.
The moment Luo Fei heard Nan Chenâs name, she shouted as loud as she could for one last time before she pretended to pass out.
Nan Chen ran over and found Luo Fei.
âWhat is she doing here?â said Nan Chen coldly.
âIsnât that Mr. Nan Chenâs girlfriend?â said Qiao Zhan, âItâs so touching that she came all the way here for you.â
âSheâs not my girlfriend,â said Nan Chen harshly.
Luo Fei, who was pretending to be unconscious, felt betrayed upon hearing Nan Chen say, âsheâs not my girlfriendâ.
âMr. Nan Chen, she may need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation,â said Qiao Zhan, âShould you do it?â
âNo, you can administer it,â said Nan Chen whose voice remained harsh.
