Capítulo 736: Chapter 736: Wrong Moves Lead to More Mistakes!
After crossing the last checkpoint, they were almost at the Bansai Base headquarters when the previously barren landscape suddenly transformed!
The once bare ground began to show greenery, and they gradually saw rivers, houses, and even several imposing buildings!
Everything told the women in the truck that they were about to reach the Bansai headquarters.
Two or three kilometers from entering the city, a stone bridge spanned dozens of meters across the moat, where rapid waters and crashing waves made a tremendous, loud noise against the stone walls.
Everyone involuntarily tensed up, and A Lai was even ready to beat a retreat, “Sister Xin, should we go back? I’m really scared!”
“Cut the chatter!” Song Xiaoxin glanced through the rearview mirror at Ye Shu, who was still sitting on the vehicle’s guardrail with her eyes closed, meditating. A fierce determination flashed in her eyes—this was the moment she had been waiting for!
She had come all this way to deliver the ransom in hopes of impressing Sheng Shaochen, so she could not let Ye Shu appear before Sheng Shaochen, especially at a place that showcased ‘valuable danger’!
All the credit, all the bravery, she had to claim it all for herself!
As they were about to turn and cross the bridge, the usual practice was to slow down, steer the wheel, realign, and then steadily cross the bridge.
But not only did Song Xiaoxin not slow down, she even sped up. At the turn, she suddenly slammed the brakes and jerked the steering wheel sharply!
The truck immediately tilted, causing the women behind to scream in fright!
Ye Shu, who had been meditating on the edge of the truck’s guardrail, was flung out due to the strong inertia and her high position, without any defenses, straight into the deep moat!
“Stop the car! Someone fell down! Stop the car!” Lady Baydi, seeing Ye Shu flung down, screamed in fright.
“What are you yelling about? Shut up!” Song Xiaoxin harshly turned back and glared at Lady Baydi, “Helping that Ye Shu woman sneak through, making me lose face, I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. If you dare yell again, I’ll throw you down too!” Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Seeing Song Xiaoxin’s murderous expression, A Lai nearly wet herself with fright; she had only thought of Song Xiaoxin as a unreasonable bully before.
She hadn’t expected her to be so malicious!
If it had been the Ye Shu from three years ago, being ambushed would have meant certain death.
But at this moment, Ye Shu, after being thrown into the fiercely raging moat, remained as serene as a clear mirror in her heart.
Following the strong current, she came upon a patch of slick, mossy rocks where, with a sharp tap of her toes on the stone and slapping her hands on the water surface, she gracefully flipped like a dragonfly and landed beautifully on the sandy bank.
It turned out that she was just beneath an ancient church, with winding stone steps suddenly before her.
After wringing out her wet hair a bit, she carefully listened to the nearby sounds, then proceeded to climb the steps.
Just reaching the flat area outside the church—not even entering yet—she saw through the doorway a group of fully armed base members kneeling uniformly inside. They were all prostrating, repeating some verses along with a so-called Holy Girl, with a devout demeanor, ready to sacrifice everything for the Holy Girl.
A thought struck Ye Shu—Saintess Tama!?
