Chapter 115: Chapter 115: She Might Die Again
Ming Yao knew that Gu Siting had left on purpose!
He found out that she had deceived him by using the identity of the little maid!
With his personality, how could he possibly tolerate deception from others?
What’s more, she was the woman he hated and despised the most!
He hadn’t gotten over the fact that she had used him as an antidote, and then he discovered her role as the little maid; he must be far from letting it go!
Perhaps he didn’t know the true purpose of her approach, but it’s unlikely he would forgive her again!
...
Ming Yao lay her head on the table, her mind a mess of confusion and disorder.
The lack of sleep had led to oxygen deprivation in her brain, rendering her unable to think properly.
Faced with the impending death, she felt both panic and bewilderment!
Heaven had given her another chance to live, yet it seemed she had accomplished nothing—
No, that wasn’t quite true; she had done one thing.
She had experienced the taste of being a real woman.
But that taste was not a happy one, it had become her nightmare!
And for all this, she blamed that cursed man!
Jing Hang went out to call Lu Zhou, and before long, he was back.
His handsome face bore a hint of surprise, “Senior sister, I got through. Lu Zhou said he’s with Fourth Master Gu in Pingshan Village.” At this, Jing Hang’s face showed a hint of worry, “But there’s been a torrential downpour recently, and they got stranded. It’s very likely we won’t be able to get in!”
Ming Yao, “…Is heaven trying to doom me?”
“But Senior sister, no matter how difficult the road, I must take you there!” He absolutely wouldn’t stand by and watch his senior sister die again!
Jing Hang helped Ming Yao pack her luggage in a hurry and helped her into an SUV.
Ming Yao leaned back in the rear seat. Looking out the window, in the tranquility, she listened to her own rapid breathing and heartbeat due to insomnia, and said in a hoarse voice, “Jing Hang, if I die, don’t go looking for trouble with him. This is my fate, unrelated to anyone else!”
Jing Hang floored the gas, driving speedily. Glancing at the pale-faced woman behind him, his eyes reddened, “Senior sister, you mustn’t die, I won’t let you!”
Ming Yao, “What’s there to cry about, how old are you, huh?”
“Senior sister, I’ll definitely find a way to cure your insomnia. You have to hold on, hear me?”
Ming Yao softly grunted in agreement.
…
Hope Primary School in Pingshan Village was located mid-mountain. It had been raining for several days straight, turning the roads into a quagmire.
Worse still, a bridge leading outside was overrun with water, making it impassable for vehicles.
Gu Siting and Lu Zhou were stranded here.
Gu Siting wasn’t particularly emotional; he had been overworking for years with little rest. Now, stranded in the mountains, breathing in the fresh air, and interacting with these pure and lovely children, he found a bit of pleasure.
But occasionally, when he thought of that woman, anger would flare up in his chest.
At lunchtime, while eating in the cafeteria with Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou suddenly received a phone call.
Lu Zhou spoke briefly to the person on the other end before exiting the cafeteria.
When he returned after taking the call, he looked at Gu Siting with a hint of caution.
“What, you haven’t been home for a few days, and your girlfriend ran off with someone?”
Lu Zhou’s mouth twitched, “Fourth Master, my girlfriend ran off with someone a year ago.”
As Fourth Master Gu’s most capable assistant, his workload was tremendously heavy, leaving him no time to accompany a girlfriend.
Of course, that girlfriend had been forced upon him by his family; he had no feelings for her, so her running off had actually been a relief to him.
The only downside were the ugly rumors.
They said Fourth Master’s wife wore a green hat, and the assistant’s girlfriend also ran off with someone; surely there was some unsavory secret between him and Fourth Master!
When Lu Zhou heard the rumor, he found it rather amusing.
Why were those people’s imaginations so rich?
He and Fourth Master were both utterly straight men, okay?
“If it’s not a girlfriend who ran off with someone else, why are you hesitating? If there’s something to say, say it!” Gu Siting said with a cold face.
Lu Zhou made a fist and coughed into it, “The wife’s friend just called me, asked where I was, and I told them!”
Gu Siting’s hand, which was holding chopsticks, paused slightly.
That con artist of a woman, she actually dared to come looking?
…
Jing Hang sped all the way and finally arrived at Pingshan Village after 9 o’clock at night.
There were three hours left until Ming Yao’s seventh day of insomnia.
Her situation was already quite critical.
Jing Hang glanced at Ming Yao sitting in the back seat, her eyes open but colourless and her breathing rapid, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Damn it!
There was a dangerous bridge up ahead, the water beneath it was swollen, and the car didn’t dare to cross.
Jing Hang took out his phone and dialed Lu Zhou’s number, but couldn’t get through.
The signal in the mountains was very poor.
Ming Yao curled up in the back seat, her whole body shrinking.
The sound of her heartbeat was like drumming in her ears, her gaze was hazy as if she saw an angel with wings waving at her not far away.
Seeing Ming Yao’s critical condition, Jing Hang could no longer care so much, and after putting on a raincoat, he carried her out of the car.
He carried her straight across the dangerous bridge.
“Senior sister, hold on, you will meet him soon!”
After crossing the dangerous bridge, Jing Hang freed one hand to take out his phone and dialed Lu Zhou’s number.
This time, it actually went through.
“Lu Zhou, right? I’m down the mountain with Fourth Master’s wife. Tell Fourth Master to come down immediately, otherwise he will never see his wife again!”
Without giving Lu Zhou a chance to speak, Jing Hang hung up the phone.
Lu Zhou, after taking the call, thought it was a prank at first.
But remembering the wife’s friend had called at noon, saying they would come over, he did not dare to take it lightly and quickly knocked on Fourth Master’s door.
Gu Siting was talking to the principal when he saw Lu Zhou come in a fluster; his voice was cold as he inquired, “What now? Is there a problem?”
“The wife and her friend have arrived at the foot of the mountain. Her friend said if you don’t go, you’ll never see the wife again!”
Gu Siting’s handsome face instantly turned cold.
What new trick did that woman want to play?
“Tell her and her paramour to beat it!”
Lu Zhou choked for a moment, “Did the wife cheat on Fourth Master again?”
Gu Siting glanced at Lu Zhou, who was frightened and hurried off.
But not far away, Gu Siting called him, “Stop!”
Gu Siting strode over, his long legs taking wide steps, “They’re at the mountain base?”
Lu Zhou nodded.
Without another word, Gu Siting took the car keys from Lu Zhou and drove down the mountain.
When the car was a third of the way from the base of the mountain, Gu Siting saw two figures.
To be precise, it was the figure of a man carrying a woman, sprinting up the mountain.
The woman’s face was buried in the man’s chest, her face not visible, but Gu Siting recognized the man in an instant.
He turned on the car’s headlights, pressed the accelerator, and the powerful, large-bodied off-road vehicle raced towards Jing Hang, flinging gravel from the roadside.
Jing Hang, who had weathered many storms, was taken aback when he saw a car charging at him with murderous intent, and he stood frozen, his mind somewhat blank.
