The road looked like a battlefield. Thick black smoke poured out from the centre of the explosion, undulating through the ash and dust in the air.
Lin Kang was surely dead, but Wen He and Gu Jinzhi were now trapped in their car in the lake.
The Ferrari descended slowly toward the bottom of the lake. They must escape from the car or risk suffocating beneath the waters.
D*mn it!
Wen He put her feet on Gu Jinzhi’s butt and pushed with all her might until finally, she got him out of the car.
It’s all because you want to look cool!
She held her breath and cursed the man inside.
It was his dilly-dallying that led them to this!
The unconscious man sank slowly under gravity’s pull, but Wen He had her own problems to deal with.
Just as she was about to leave the car, her leg got stuck between the car seats. She pulled hard but could not free herself.
Wen He gritted her teeth, ignored the sharp pain from her ankle, and pulled again!
Crack!
She heard something that sounded like her bones breaking.
Wen He was sweating from the pain. It could be a case of dislocation or a broken bone, but she did not waste time to find out. Ignoring the pain from her movements, she freed herself and swam toward Gu Jinzhi.
She caught Gu Jinzhi’s waist with her left hand and swam with the other hand toward the surface.
Every kick underwater brought more pain to her ankle.
The only thing that kept her going was sheer willpower.
“Cough…”
Gu Jinzhi regained his consciousness and coughed a mouthful of blood, dying the water around them a dark red.
Wen He took a quick look behind her to check on him.
She panicked even more at the severity of his condition and swam as fast as she could to keep him alive.
Gu Jinzhi opened his eyes. Though water was flowing past him quickly, he could still see clearly enough to make out Wen He’s determined face.
She looked pale as a sheet and obviously in pain. There was a trace of blood on the edge of her lips. Her arm around his waist was trembling.
It seemed like she would collapse at any moment.
Nonetheless, she held on. There was a desolate kind of beauty in the way she refused to give up.
Wen He…
For a moment, Gu Jinzhi looked confused, as though he was on the verge of realizing something new.
He was not alone.
At this critical moment, someone was willing to risk everything to protect him.
“How nice…:”
He spoke without thinking. Water entered his mouth and started another round of coughing.
Blood plumes unfurled, riding the water currents. He blacked out once again.
Splash!
Finally, Wen He reached the surface!
“Master Gu!”
The men standing by the lake looked relieved. They went to them and pulled them both to shore.
Gu Jinzhi lay flat on the ground with his eyes tightly shut, looking drenched and deadly pale.
“Master Gu is unconscious!”
Wen He took a quick look at Gu Jinzhi and lay sprawled beside him. She said weakly, “He’s fine, but he swallowed some water. Who’s giving him CPR?”
