Chapter 148 Will we just die like this?
It happened in an instant, completely unexpected. No one had time to react, not even Shen Jin or Yan Yu, nor the two people who wanted to kill them.
Shen Jin's face was deathly pale. A strong sense of fear washed over him as he plummeted into the air, especially when he saw Yan Yu rushing towards him. When the two of them fell together, his heart nearly jumped out of his throat: "You—!!"
Are you crazy?!
Unfortunately, before they could finish uttering those words, they both plummeted downwards. The wind howled like sharp blades, as if trying to sever their skin, and their hair and clothes flew wildly.
Shen Jin's mind went blank. The feeling of falling made him feel suffocated, but Yan Yu, with a strength he didn't know he had, not only hugged him but also asked, "Are we going to die like this?"
Shen Jin: "..."
At this point, it would be extremely difficult for him not to faint, but Yan Yu was still able to use his brain to think about this kind of problem. Shen Jin didn't know whether to scold him for being crazy or to praise him.
Old Zheng and the young man stood frozen in place, their words caught in their throats, watching helplessly as the two fell right before their eyes.
Falling from the cliff, they were already covered in wounds before even hitting the ground. They rolled over hard rocks, which made them gasp, and Shen Jin even screamed in agony.
The hard, sharp stones scraped against his arms, causing a burning pain. Then, the two of them tumbled down the slope, where the ancient, thick trees pierced them, leaving them riddled with holes and bloody messes.
"Falling off a cliff... I was almost dead halfway down the cliff..." Shen Jin couldn't help but think to himself with self-mockery. Even though he cherished his life and didn't want to die like this, he desperately tried to grab onto something, but it was all in vain.
Instead, it rubbed his hands raw and bloody. He couldn't grab onto anything and continued to fall uncontrollably.
Yan Yu was in no better shape than him, looking utterly disheveled, covered in wounds, his clothes torn and ripped in many places. But the matter was far from over.
After a brief moment of shock, the two men on the cliff top reacted immediately, pointing their guns at them and saying viciously, "Since you've already fallen off the cliff, let's just make sure you die completely!"
"Bang--"
The other side immediately opened fire, and several bullets came flying fiercely and ruthlessly!
Shen Jin's pupils suddenly contracted, and his blood seemed to freeze instantly. Yan Yu was the same, his face deathly pale. They couldn't dodge, as if they had been pushed to the guillotine, only one step away from death.
...It all seems to have come to an end.
Meanwhile, the Rong family, far away in the city, also obtained some clues. Although they were not yet clear, they could roughly know which direction Shen Jin was in at this time.
"Don't worry about whether it's certain or not. As long as there's even the slightest clue or suspicious sign, don't overthink it. Just go for it! Send a group of people over there!" Mr. Rong said decisively. "As for the others, they can continue to investigate and track down the suspects. It would be best if they could get a clear lead!"
Just as the police were preparing to leave quietly, Luo Zheng stood up and said clearly, "I'm going with them too!"
He didn't sleep a wink last night, working with others on the investigation. He was on edge, unable to sleep, and couldn't eat properly. He's in terrible shape now, and his face is very pale.
Seeing his condition, no one was willing to let him go. After all, they were going to rescue people, and what help could someone in such a poor mental state provide?
His sister, Luo Ya, immediately retorted without holding back, "What good will you do? You're not familiar with that place and won't be of much help. Besides, you can't even take care of yourself. Do you expect others to come and take care of you?"
Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but worry. Besides, this was a kidnapping case, and the chances of survival were slim. She was concerned that if he went there and found out that something had really happened to Shen Jin, he might lose control and suddenly go berserk, which would only cause trouble for others.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Luo Zheng immediately denied her words, took a bottle of mineral water from the side, unscrewed the cap and took a few sips. She pursed her dry lips, and because she hadn't rested well, her eyes were still bloodshot.
But he still firmly said, "I must go."
Although Luo Ya was worried about his safety, she knew very well that her younger brother was sometimes as stubborn as a bull. Once he made up his mind, no amount of talking would change his mind.
“Me too.” Rong Lan suddenly spoke up. “Although I don’t know if I can be of any help, it’s better than doing nothing. Besides, there are so many police officers, we won’t get into any trouble.”
The father, who was standing next to him, sighed with a headache: "Sigh! At a time like this, why are you all making trouble? Rong Lan, you stay home with your mother. I'll go with them. As for Xiao Zheng, you should also get some rest and take care of yourself! There are already so many police officers; we don't need the two of you."
That's what they said, but neither Luo Zheng nor Rong Lan listened. They were determined to go through with it. Rong's father had no choice. He was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't care less about anything else and simply let them have their way.
As they were leaving, Rong's mother grasped their hands, tears welling in her eyes, and said with great sorrow, "Remember, remember, no matter what they ask for, you must not act rashly if you cannot guarantee Jin'er's safety! Don't let the villains hurt him, he... he's already suffered so much, how could this happen..."
Before Rong's mother could finish speaking, she burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Tears streamed down her face as she said in a hoarse voice, "You must bring him back safely. Don't let him get hurt again..."
"I know, don't say anymore," Mr. Rong sighed softly, patting her shoulder gently twice. "He'll be alright, he'll be alright. Don't worry, just rest and wait for our good news."
They said they were waiting for good news, but in reality, they felt a thousand gloomy clouds hanging over them, and they weren't really optimistic that Shen Jin was alright.
At this point, they had no choice but to believe that he was still alive and well.
The group set off quietly, without alerting anyone, and headed towards the desolate mountains and wilderness.
But some people still found out about it.
Inside the Duan family mansion, Duan Yi had just come out of the bathroom when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw a short text message saying that the Rong family had investigated and tracked down Shen Jin and roughly figured out where he was. The matter was over.
He stared at his phone for a long time, his brows furrowed. He wasn't in a good mood, and his handsome face appeared colder and more distant because of his furrowed brows.
Jiang Yang, who was bringing him things into the room, noticed his expression and saw him staring at his phone. She knew something must have happened, so she gently asked, "What's wrong?"
Duan Yi didn't hide anything, simply tossing his phone back onto the sofa beside him and saying in a calm voice, "The Rong family has obtained some clues through some minor details and plans to leave quietly."
Jiang Yang's expression changed slightly after hearing this. She looked at Duan Yi hesitantly, and after a long while, she asked softly, "So... what should we do next?"
"What do you mean, what to do?" Duan Yi looked at him with a puzzled expression, then lazily sat down on the sofa next to him, crossed his legs, and said casually, "They took it upon themselves to kidnap people, I didn't say anything."
“However, they kidnapped Rong Jin, keeping the Rong family extremely busy, and also allowed me to snatch several big projects, so I did have some merit,” Duan Yi rubbed his temples. “You should send someone to look for them from another direction. Once you find them, take them away and leave them aside for now. Let them come out again after the storm has passed.”
Jiang Yang understood his meaning and nodded instantly: "Yes, I'll take care of it right away."
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful. If possible, teach those two a lesson so they won't always be so impatient and not think things through." Duan Yi waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Jiang Yang replied, "Okay."
After a perilous chase through the deep mountains and forests where Chen Jin and his companions fled, the forest returned to its tranquility, with nothing but animals and the sound of the wind.
It is an undeniable fact that Shen Jin and Yan Yu have fallen from the high cliff. As for whether they are dead or alive, no one can be sure yet.
As they fell, the young man and Old Zheng quickly went down to search for them, but the cliff was too high and covered a large area, making it difficult to find them.
They searched everywhere, but there was no one there.
"How is this possible? Falling from such a high cliff, even if they don't die, they'll be crippled! How could they not be found!" Old Zheng cursed angrily. "Do they have wings and fly away?!"
The young man said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. They should still be nearby. If you find their bodies, bury them quickly to avoid trouble later!"
Finally, they found traces of two people at the foot of a cliff, with two thick pools of blood. Judging from the blood, the injuries were very serious, and it was difficult for them to walk.
Strangely, the ground was marked with marks from their impact. Logically, even if they weren't dead, they should have broken bones and be lying motionless on the ground, but the two of them had vanished...
