As night fell, the streets of the town were illuminated by colorful torches.
The air was filled with a strong smell of smoke and wood.
The traditional "Winter Rebirth Festival" is being celebrated here.
The streets and alleys were filled with laughter and a festive atmosphere.
The town's residents, dressed in traditional masks and costumes, danced.
A grand torchlight procession was held.
It symbolizes the rebirth of life and hope in the darkness.
Jing Min and Chu Wuyang walked through the crowd.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to relax and enjoy the rare festive atmosphere.
But Jingmin felt that the surrounding liveliness didn't make her feel relaxed as he had hoped.
Instead, I could occasionally sense a hint of unease in her eyes.
Chu Wuyang said in a low voice:
"These masked people look so strange."
Jing Min turned his head to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips:
"Relax, it's just the holiday atmosphere."
But he could sense her nervousness, so he tightened his grip on her hand.
The movements were natural yet carried a hint of soothing.
Suddenly, a masked man in a black robe quietly approached Chu Wuyang.
He reached out and took her hand, whispering:
"The moment you betray him, your fate will be completely altered!"
The voice was indistinct and carried a sinister undertone.
Chu Wuyang's heart sank suddenly, and his expression changed.
She turned around instinctively.
But all I could see was a blurry mask, with a complex look in its eyes.
Jing Min immediately pulled her aside, a dark glint in his eyes.
"It's alright, let's go."
Jingmin said in a low voice,
He pulled her quickly through the crowd.
Chu Wuyang followed closely behind him, still feeling uneasy. She asked softly:
"What did that mean just now?"
Jing Min stopped and gazed at her, his tone inexplicably tinged with worry.
Don't overthink it; it might just be a cultural difference.
After the two returned to the hotel,
As soon as I pushed open the door,
Jing Min then led Chu Wuyang into the room, took her hand, and pulled her close to him.
The cold wind was still blowing outside, carrying the chill of the night.
But the warm lights and the burning fireplace in the room made everything feel exceptionally cozy.
Chu Wuyang's mood was still somewhat heavy.
That whisper echoed in her mind, refusing to fade away.
She gently lowered her scarf and took off her coat, her movements slow and deliberate.
He seemed a little distracted.
Jingmin observed her every move, his brows furrowing slightly.
He silently walked behind her and gently massaged her shoulders.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
Jingmin's deep voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Chu Wuyang turned her head to the side, her eyes slightly unfocused, and nodded gently:
"Hmm...it's alright."
Something's definitely wrong.
Jingmin didn't say anything, but simply reached out and pulled her into his arms.
She nestled in his arms, feeling the warmth of his chest, and her breathing gradually became steady.
Jingmin lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
Are you still thinking about Joann?
"It's alright. If you're still worried, how about we change our plans and fly directly to Germany?"
He rubbed his fingers against his smooth skin.
"You didn't seem to enjoy skating much during the day, how about we go to Germany and skate for a few days?"
“I also had a pre-arranged itinerary there. The flight routes were applied for a long time ago, so it wasn’t a last-minute decision.”
Chu Wuyang gently raised her head.
Looking into his eyes, I saw unspoken emotions.
She nodded slightly.
——
Jing Min and Chu Wuyang took a helicopter from the town to the city.
Everything was normal at the beginning of the flight.
But Jingmin sensed something was off.
"Captain, why has the flight path changed?"
His tone was calm, but his eyes scanned the view outside the window warily.
The captain, clearly unprepared for Jing Min's question, responded with slight nervousness:
"Sir, the flight path is following the predetermined route, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Jing Min's brows furrowed slightly, his gaze remaining fixed on the view outside the window.
We have entered an unfamiliar area.
Previously, when he was asked by Mr. Jin to carry out a mission, he had to learn some basic flight skills.
Based on his basic understanding of flight,
This flight path is clearly wrong.
The aircraft's flight path has deviated from the original plan.
Are you sure there's no problem?
Jing Min's tone grew even colder as he glanced at the captain's reaction.
The captain paused, then nodded hesitantly:
"Yes...it's definitely not a problem. It might be slightly off due to the weather."
Jingmin's heart tightened.
The captain's unnatural tone aroused his suspicion.
He quickly recalled his past experiences on missions and knew some methods of covert manipulation.
Without further hesitation, he pulled out a pre-prepared pistol from under his seat and coldly gave the order:
"Adjust the flight path and land us."
The captain's expression changed.
But he did not resist; he adjusted the helm, clearly obeying Jing Min's threat.
However, Jingmin sensed something was wrong as the helicopter began its descent.
He noticed that the captain was not flying along the planned route, but instead was heading towards a more desolate area.
As the flight altitude began to decrease, Jingmin suddenly realized that the captain's movements were somewhat too abrupt.
Moreover, the flight path is becoming increasingly dangerous.
What do you want to do?
Jing Min's tone turned cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
A flicker of panic crossed the captain's face, but a resolute glint appeared in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jing, I had no choice."
