Chapter 41: The Car Plunges into the Sea

After Situ finished speaking, he didn't dare look at Sheng Yu's face at all.

Miss Zhu is truly bold beyond measure.

Tonight, after Young Master Yu returned from the sea, he took two doses of Medicine, yet he still couldn't fully control his emotions; to think she would add fuel to the fire at such a critical moment—Young Master Yu is someone who doesn't even spare himself when he gets ruthless, so how could he possibly spare her?

Sure enough, Sheng Yu said sternly, "Tell them to go to the garage and intercept her with a car."

As he spoke, he kept his mouth open to breathe; the little chili peppers were so tiny, he hadn't expected just the soup to be this spicy.

Once he catches her and brings her back, he will definitely make her taste the sensation of a tongue that is both numb and spicy!

Situ turned to go make arrangements, but heard the man call him back, "Wait, you go yourself. Their driving skills aren't as good as yours. Don't let them chase her into the sea; who would I settle the score with then?"

"Yes, Young Master Yu."

But before Situ could walk out the door, a voice came from the monitoring room over the walkie-talkie: "Tu Ge, Miss Zhu's situation is a bit off."

Situ's expression tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu had already tossed aside his cup and was striding toward the monitoring room, with Situ hurrying to follow.

In the monitoring room, the Bodyguards saw Sheng Yu arrive in person and stood up one after another, "Young Master Yu."

"Zoom in." Sheng Yu didn't have a single word to spare; he walked to the large screen and braced his hands on the console.

The Bodyguards immediately switched the real-time surveillance feed of that road section to full-screen.

Instantly, the car Zhu Yuan had driven away appeared on the screen.

The Hot Spring Villa is located on a mountainside near the coast, and to reach it, one must pass through a long stretch of Pan Shan Highway, more than half of which runs close to the sea.

At this moment, Zhu Yuan was driving that car of Sheng Yu's, and the speed monitor clocked her at 120 yards.

Sheng Yu's expression turned abruptly gloomy.

With the speed getting faster and faster, Zhu Yuan realized something was wrong and gripped the steering wheel with a solemn expression, but no matter how hard she pressed the brake, the speed wouldn't drop; it even showed a trend of increasing.

What is going on?

Is the car broken?

She took a quick glance; the speedometer needle was pressing downward, as if stabbing into her heart.

Her driving skills weren't bad, but she had never driven a car this fast, and there was a sharp turn ahead.

Through the car windows, she could hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore, and a sense of intense fear washed over her.

The car barely grazed the guardrail, sparks flying everywhere, and Zhu Yuan gripped the steering wheel, struggling to steer the car back to the center of the road.

After the heart-pounding moment, Zhu Yuan took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"I absolutely cannot panic now; if I panic, I'll lose my life."

She didn't check the almanac before going out today; first, she was dragged onto a pirate ship, then she was nearly deafened by an explosion, and after that, she was humiliated by Sheng Yu. Now, driving home, this kind of thing had to happen.

Every single incident was inseparable from Sheng Yu.

She and Sheng Yu are definitely incompatible!

Even if she dies, she won't let him off!

The speed was still increasing; Zhu Yuan's hands were trembling, and her palms were slick with cold sweat. She quickly wiped the sweat off on her legs and gripped the steering wheel, controlling the direction to keep the car from hitting the guardrail.

With the intense centrifugal pull, her whole body swayed left and right with the car, her left arm constantly hitting the car door, the pain making her see stars. The phone in her pocket fell out and kept vibrating on the floor.

This won't do; if it keeps going like this, the car will definitely hit the guardrail.

Once the car falls into the sea, there will be no possibility of her surviving inside!

If she opens the door and jumps out, she might have a slim chance of survival if she falls into the ocean.

Thinking this, Zhu Yuan didn't hesitate for a second and pulled the car door open.

The sea breeze whistled into the cabin like sharp little knives cutting into her skin, her hair flying about like seaweed. Zhu Yuan swallowed hard and shouted, "Damn it!"

The moment her body jumped out of the car, the black luxury sedan tilted and slammed into the roadside guardrail.

With a huge crash and sparks flying, the people in the car chasing behind could only watch helplessly as that car flew out through the gap broken in the guardrail and plunged into the sea!

Situ was stunned, and in his peripheral vision, he saw a black figure quickly pull open a car door.

His expression changed abruptly, "Young Master Yu!"

However, Sheng Yu had already pulled open the car door, jumped out before the car had even come to a complete stop, and rushed toward that gap, jumping down without a shred of hesitation!

Cold.

There wasn't a single sound inside the sea.

So terrifying.

Zhu Yuan kept sinking downward.

The icy seawater surged up, wrapping her tightly within it. She couldn't breathe, nor could she open her eyes; she only felt her lungs being constantly squeezed, as if to crush her from the inside out.

So painful.

She gradually lost the strength to struggle; she had thought she could save her life, but didn't expect it to be a dead end after all.

It's a good thing no one saw her "chuuni" side just now; that would be too embarrassing.

But if she dies, what will happen to Grandpa?

She still needs to send living expenses to her brother in prison; she can't let him suffer in there.

After being teased by her, will the petty Sheng Yu chase her all the way to Yanwang Dian to settle the score?

His temper is so bad; there's no doubt he'll flip Yanwang Dian upside down. She can't afford to offend the King of Hell; what if he doesn't give her a chance to be reincarnated?

The more Zhu Yuan thought, the more painful she felt. She couldn't be humiliated by Sheng Yu for nothing; even if she did tease him, it wouldn't be enough to resolve the hatred in her heart.

The intense feeling of suffocation made her body go limp. She tried hard to open her eyes; she wanted to find Sheng Yu and explain everything clearly—how dare he humiliate someone like that!

But she couldn't open her eyes; her body felt as if it were being torn apart by some force.

Forget it, it's better to be a vengeful ghost so it's easier to settle the score with Sheng Yu!

Her body kept falling.

Suddenly, she felt something wrap around her wrist, and then that thing gripped her wrist tightly!

Zhu Yuan's consciousness was fading, her eyes only able to open a tiny slit; she seemed to see a grim-faced Sheng Yu actually charging into Yanwang Dian.

He was truly insane.

……

"Splash!"

Sheng Yu's body broke the surface of the sea; with one hand he gripped Zhu Yuan's head to keep it tilted back, and with the other he wrapped his arm around her waist to drag her to the shore.

Sea waves slapped against the beach from time to time.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a faint, eerie moonlight.

Sheng Yu knelt on the ground and finished clearing the seawater from Zhu Yuan's mouth and nose, then his fingers reached down, touching a cold body that had no reaction at all.

There was no heartbeat either.

"Zhu Yuan!"

There was not a trace of expression on Sheng Yu's face; he pinched her nose, leaned down, pressed his lips to hers, and breathed air into her mouth, breath after breath.

But the person beneath him still had no reaction at all.

He placed his hands one over the other on her chest and pressed down, time after time, until his palms were jolted by a faint force.

One beat after another, a weak heartbeat.

Thump, thump, thump.

It reached his ears amidst the sound of the sea waves, like a thunderclap piercing through his body.

Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too thin, but it made Sheng Yu's face turn pale in waves.
