Protagonist:
Lu Feng
Lin Yiming froze for a moment, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, what are you doing at the amusement park? And with such a worried, bitter look on your face, what exactly happened?"
He knew Lu Feng ran a food shop, but how would that have anything to do with an amusement park?
Could it be to relax?
But if it was to play, why that expression?
Lu Feng scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I... want to try that high-altitude bungee jump."
"Bungee jump?"
Lin Yiming's face showed a surprised expression, then he confirmed again: "That 80-meter high-altitude bungee jump?"
Lu Feng smiled bitterly and nodded.
Lin Yiming didn't speak, just stared at Lu Feng for a long while.
He often took Lin Xi to the amusement park, but they only played the gentler rides.
When he was young he also rode a roller coaster once, experienced it once, and only felt like he'd taken a trip through the gates of hell.
After getting off he squatted by the garbage bin and vomited for a long time, and never tried again after that.
He always believed that stimulating rides like roller coasters and bungee jumping were things only young people seeking thrills would do.
Lu Feng was only in his twenties after all, so wanting to play something thrilling was perfectly normal.
But 80 meters high — even his younger self probably wouldn't have dared jump.
Yet Lu Feng wanted to give it a try.
Admirable courage!
Lin Yiming froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed heartily, slapped Lu Feng's shoulder hard: "Good on you, brother! Man enough! Got guts!"
"Brother Lin flatters me, actually... I was forced into it."
Lu Feng was a bit embarrassed by the praise, the corner of his mouth pulling into an ugly smile.
"Forced?"
Lin Yiming froze at that, then his face darkened: "Who forced you? Brother, you tell me, I'll help you settle him!"
As he spoke he reached into his pocket for his phone, looking ready to call in reinforcements at once.
"No no..."
Lu Feng hurriedly stopped his movement, replied vaguely with a couple of sentences: "What forced me wasn't a person... wait, no one forced me, I want to break through myself."
"Daddy, is bungee jumping that game where you jump down from a high place?"
Lin Xi listened from the side with some curiosity, her eyes flashing with excitement.
"Xi Xi, we're not going, you're still too young."
Lin Yiming squatted down, touched Lin Xi's head and persuaded her.
Then he thought a bit and added: "When you grow up, best not go either."
Lin Xi nodded as if half-understanding, turned to look at Lu Feng, the curiosity in her eyes turning to worry.
Lin Yiming stood up, patted Lu Feng's shoulder, and said with a touch of gravity: "Brother, if you really want to go, I won't stop you, but you must watch your safety, if you can't do it don't force it."
"Brother Lin, you just said you'd go with me, why not..."
Lu Feng blinked, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
Before Lu Feng could finish, Lin Yiming acted like he hadn't heard, fished his phone from his pocket and pressed it to his ear: "Hello? Secretary Zhang? What? Phone conference? Now? Okay okay, I'm free right now, wait two minutes for me..."
Lin Yiming talked as he walked into the villa, not looking back as he ducked into the study.
"Daddy's such a coward..."
Lin Xi stared at Lin Yiming's departing back, muttering softly.
Then her little face showed a serious expression, she looked at Lu Feng and instructed: "Big Brother, you must be careful!"
Lu Feng smiled and nodded, waved goodbye to Lin Xi, and left the No. 9 Courtyard Villa.
After leaving Lin Xi's home, Lu Feng went straight to the garage and got into the Maybach.
He opened the small box Lin Yiming gave him, inside was an exquisite Patek Philippe men's watch.
The silver-white dial was set with a few diamond chips, the blue hands gleaming with dazzling metallic luster, looking full of mechanical feel.
Lu Feng clicked his tongue twice, this watch at a glance was worth a lot, at least several hundred thousand.
He directly took out the watch and put it on his wrist, then started the car.
With an incomparably uneasy mood, Lu Feng drove to the Century Happy Valley in the suburbs.
Jiang City's Century Happy Valley was just built the year before last, and because it's in the suburbs, the area is very large.
The park has over a hundred types of amusement facilities, from seesaws, merry-go-rounds, to roller coasters — everything, covering almost all entertainment types on the market.
And the most popular item among them is the high-altitude bungee jump added early this year; every holiday the queue takes over two hours.
Lu Feng parked the car, stood at the amusement park entrance and took several deep breaths, then walked in.
After buying tickets, Lu Feng followed the park's internal navigation and soon arrived at the high-altitude bungee jump location.
This red bungee tower soared straight into the sky, the jump platform at the top extending out several meters, and below the bungee tower was the park's artificial lake.
Lu Feng stood at the bottom of the bungee tower and looked up, the sunlight stabbing his eyes so he could barely keep them open.
He didn't rush up to queue, stood below and observed for a while.
Only heard screams continuously whistling down from the sky, those tourists jumping from above, every one of them screaming their hearts out.
During this time he also saw several tourists who had finished the experience, each one pale-faced, eyes dull, steps unsteady, leaning on each other as they walked toward the rest area.
There was one who looked very burly, a muscular man, who after getting off the small boat directly plopped down on the ground, propping himself up with his hands while panting heavily.
That appearance was just like he had just gone through a life-and-death crisis.
Looking at their ashen-faced appearance, Lu Feng also felt his heart pound with fear.
How is this any different from jumping off a building, isn't it just spending money to suffer...
Lu Feng cursed the system eight hundred times in his heart again.
Dog System! Just unlocking a Red Braised Pork recipe, is that really necessary?
However, for his complaints, the system did not pay any attention.
Lu Feng helplessly sighed, dragging his heavy steps to the end of the queuing crowd.
Because today is Monday, there weren't particularly many people coming to the amusement park, and there were only several dozen people queuing in front of Lu Feng.
Following the queuing crowd moving slowly forward, with every step he felt his heartbeat quicken a bit more.
Lu Feng felt a bit of a headache; this kind of waiting feeling is the most torturous.
Especially with terrified screams from those tourists ahead ringing in his ears from time to time, watching them being patiently persuaded by staff to jump down...
Lu Feng stared fixedly at the slowly moving queue ahead, sweat breaking out layer after layer in his palms.
He suddenly felt a bit envious of those few young people in the queue with faces full of excitement, how come they don't have the slightest bit of fear, completely wearing an expression of enjoyment.
Lu Feng's mind was in a chaotic buzz, just spacing out, when the person behind him gave him a push.
He abruptly snapped back to his senses, only then noticing a long gap had already opened up ahead, and hurriedly shuffled forward a few steps.
Afterward, with an apologetic look on his face, he quickly turned around and said sorry to that person behind him.
Only three people left ahead, it would be his turn soon.
Forget it, since I've come all this way, I'll go all out!
Lu Feng was frantically trying to calm his nervous mood in his head when he suddenly felt someone smash his shoulder heavily, scaring him so much his whole body violently shuddered.
Afterward, that person behind him, with a face full of excitement, loudly shouted.
"Hey! Lu Boss! What a coincidence?"
