Lu Wanwan was extremely anxious, listening to that nonchalantly spoken line and waiting for the rest.
Here, a boat was the only option to leave, what could he possibly do.
But thinking about how the residents here were mostly people of prestigious backgrounds, there surely had to be more than one rigid way out.
After waiting for a while, the elevator was almost there, yet Gu Annan still hadn’t mentioned what that faster method was.
"What method?" She couldn’t help but ask sullenly.
Just had to wait for her to ask!
Gu announced didn’t answer directly as the elevator doors opened just then.
Lu Wanwan saw him walking in and had no choice but to follow.
"Gu Annan, I’m late because of you, you have to take responsibility!" His sudden silence made her restless.
Gu Annan pressed the button for the top floor, "Take responsibility! I’ll take responsibility for all your affairs!"
Lu Wanwan didn’t argue this time, after all, she was counting on him to save the day.
"To the top floor?" She asked doubtfully.
"Top floor. I’ll take you; you won’t be late, we’ll get there quickly."
The elevator stopped on the top floor. Seeing the helicopter on the rooftop, she immediately realized.
Indeed, they would get there fast!
Lu Wanwan followed him, and her phone suddenly rang.
She saw Jiu Li’s name appear on her phone, just about to answer when a hand reached out and took it away.
Standing beneath the helicopter, Gu Annan saw the name on her phone and hung up.
"You’re not allowed to answer!" Gu Annan returned her phone with a domineering threat, "If you dare to answer, you can forget about going today."
Lu Wanwan had no choice but to put her phone back in her bag.
The helicopter pilot came down, "Mr. Gu."
Lu Wanwan looked up and saw it was a helicopter that could only fit two people. Gu Annan had already boarded, and if she went on, what about the pilot?
He put on his gear and called out to the woman who seemed oblivious, "Aren’t you coming up?"
The pilot, a man in his forties, couldn’t help laughing at her shock.
Mr. Gu really went out of his way to impress a girl.
"Don’t worry." The uncle gave a reassuring hearty laugh, comforted her and gave a thumbs-up towards Gu Annan, "His skills are excellent, no problems at all!"
Lu Wanwan never knew that Gu Annan had this license, but with the sky getting dark, could there really be no problem?
"Are you coming up or not?"
Hearing the urging, Lu Wanwan reluctantly got on.
She wasn’t afraid of heights, but it was her first time in a helicopter. She felt it might be safer if the man below were controlling it.
Glancing at Gu Annan’s smooth and proficient movements and expression, she still wasn’t very reassured because it seemed like he was flying a military jet rather than a regular helicopter...
"Gu Annan, I don’t want to die," Lu Wanwan remembered his sometimes reckless driving habits. It wasn’t fun to recklessly fly in the sky, "And I’m not in that much of a hurry; please go slower."
Gu Annan started the helicopter, responding nonchalantly, "You don’t trust me that much? Would I let you die? Fool."
It was only after the helicopter had steadily risen that her mood gradually stabilized.
"When did you learn to fly a helicopter?"
Gu Annan, focused on piloting and watching the sky, "A long time ago, when I was studying in the United Kingdom."
"To still be able to fly this well, you’re quite skilled!" It seemed the uncle wasn’t just flattering him for his money.
Gu Annan didn’t turn around, his eyes still on the windshield, but the corner of his lips curved into a slight, roguish smile, "My skills, how could you not know?"
