Lu Yi was already exhausted, so he pressed himself against the car window, looking for an opportunity.

Her bump caused my back to involuntarily lean back.

"Jiaojiao,..."

Lu Yi wanted to tell her that Huo Jingxi had brought her back from afar because he wanted her to live a good life.

Huo Jingxi had not anticipated being dragged into such a dangerous situation.

No matter how many precautions you take, there will always be a slip-up.

Lu Yi would rather fill this gap himself than watch Ruan Jiaojiao leave this world in this way.

Once the Huo family goes public, it will become an even bigger lure.

The competition back then would never have been so low-level.

The Fan family is gathering strength, and the Gu family is also putting in all their effort to avenge their defeat. Only when the Huo family's banner is raised high in the business world will the battle between good and evil truly begin.

Whether he's there or not, it no longer matters.

Unfortunately, the design knowledge he learned has not yet been put into practice, and he has not been able to contribute anything to the Fan family...

Huh!

Where is the resistance from my back?

Where are the car windows?

Lu Yi leaned back, and Ruan Jiaojiao hugged his waist tightly, pressing her cheek against his chest.

The two of them slid out of the carriage so smoothly.

He opened his eyes, looked down into the water, and saw a figure chasing after him, grabbing his legs and lifting him forcefully to the surface.

"Cough cough cough!"

Ruan Jiaojiao felt the wind on the water's surface and hastily brushed the hair that was stuck to her face. "Have we arrived in the underworld?"

Pooh!

"What underworld? I almost suffocated while trying to tear down the gate. If you go to the underworld, I'll tear down the gate plaque and chop it into pieces!"

Dongzi surfaced, cursing, and suddenly shivered.

Lu Yi swam closer to the riverbank and then realized that the one who had saved them was none other than Dongzi.

How did you know we were here?

His surprise and doubt made Dongzi so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in the water.

"Well... what a coincidence, I happened to be in the trunk, so I just grabbed it..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao exclaimed, "You're amazing! Were you hiding in the trunk the whole time, ready to rescue us at any moment?"

Thinking about what she had just said, Ruan Jiaojiao didn't dare to look at Lu Yi's face, and blushed as she tried to ease her embarrassment with jokes.

"An ambush...you could call it that, but it was a passive ambush!"

Dongzi chuckled a few times, grabbed one of them with each hand, and swam to the riverbank.

Lu Yi understood; the driver must have hijacked the car.

I don't know how I managed to knock Dongzi unconscious, but I stuffed him into the trunk.

Thanks to this, they were able to escape alive; otherwise, the two of them would probably have really become "water ghosts"!

"Third Brother, I'm sorry. It was my carelessness that allowed someone to take advantage of me. If I had caused your deaths this time, I would have no face to face my eldest brother and the others!"

Dongzi wrung out the water from his clothes, his eyes sincere.

"No, quite the opposite, this person is very important to us!"

"No matter who he is employed by, as long as we follow his trail, we will definitely find more clues."

Lu Yi glanced at the white, swollen wound on his arm, took off his shirt, wrung it out, shook it out, and draped it over Ruan Jiaojiao, whose teeth were chattering.

He glanced at the dark riverbank and pointed.

"There's a rock over there, Jiaojiao, move to the side sheltered from the wind. Dongzi, take good care of her!"

"And you?"

The two spoke in unison.

Lu Yi looked at the shimmering water and said, "I'll go and bring that person up."

"But he's already dead!"

Ruan Jiaojiao grabbed his arm, "With my strength, no one can withstand it. A dead person isn't worth you doing this!"

She doesn't care about any clues or anything like that.

I just hope Lu Yi won't take any more risks!

Dongzi's phone is missing, and the three of them are now at a loss as to who to contact.

"No, I'll go down with you!"

Dongzi glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao, who was shivering from the cold, took off his T-shirt, wrung it out, and handed it to her.

"Miss Jiaojiao, you're not an ordinary girl. You're skilled in martial arts. I couldn't even last ten moves against you, have you forgotten?"

“Brother Long and Second Brother will definitely come looking for us. The car has GPS, so unless they get held up by something, you have to wait here... understand?”

Dongzi knew that Lu Yi wouldn't make any impulsive decisions.

There is a reason for this choice.

Protecting him is the right thing to do!

Lu Yi tore a strip of cloth from his T-shirt, bit one end with his teeth, and tied it to his injured arm.

He put his arm around Ruan Jiaojiao's slender waist and gently comforted her, "Don't be lazy and doze off, or you won't even know if your eldest and second brothers send someone over."

"Also, stay vigilant, because the people who come might not be our own brothers!"

Their clothes were soaking wet and clung to each other, feeling each other's body heat.

Ruan Jiaojiao calmed down and glanced at the flickering lights in the distance.

"You're right, this guy has accomplices. With me here, they won't be able to get into the water to rescue him!"

...

It was pitch black underwater.

Fortunately, Dongzi had a spare flashlight.

Following the route they remembered, the two quickly located the vehicle that had fallen into the water.

Just as Dongzi was about to swim over, Lu Yi grabbed his ankle and gestured for him to be careful.

Dongzi nodded, swam to the driver's side of the vehicle, took the flashlight from his mouth, and shone it inside...

Lu Yi suddenly felt the water behind him ripple violently. He grabbed Dongzi's waistband, flashed, and threw him aside.

"Oh shit!"

The driver's eyes were bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty monster, staring at Lu Yi.
