"Wife?" The old man repeated the two words in surprise, then sneered, and muttered with a frown: "How come I didn't know, that Hutong was married?"
Lin Wan Bai was embarrassed for a moment, and explained awkwardly: "Uh, I'm his fiancé that I haven't been to …"
"Does it have anything to do with me!?" The old man said coldly.
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips, and said earnestly: "Mr. Elder Li, please give me some time, I have something important to tell you!"
"I'm not free!" The old man said rudely.
"I only want ten minutes, no, five minutes!" Lin Wan Bai never thought that the other party would actually be so hard to come into contact with. Not only that, they were also stubborn and hard to talk with, like Huo Rong had said.
The old man seemed to be annoyed by her, so he pointed and said, "Sure, you can jump down from there first!"
"…" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips.
The direction he was pointing to was either other or a high platform beside the golf course. It was at least fifty to sixty meters high, and the person standing on it could be vaguely seen. From afar, it looked so small, as if he had stepped into the clouds.
It would be better to talk about other places …
Lin Wan Bai looked from afar, and his palms were already sweating.
She opened her mouth with difficulty, "I …"
"Come find me after you're done jumping!"
The old man didn't give her a chance to speak. He used his walking stick and quickly left.
The two ferocious guards were like two thick walls, giving her no chance to approach any further.
Lin Wan Bai clenched his fists tightly and looked at the towering bungee jumping platform.
Perhaps for ordinary people, they could try to build up their mental state a few more times, but for someone like her who feared heights, it was even harder than ascending the heavens. But now, she had no way to retreat, no matter what the Elder Li was thinking, she could only move forward …
Lin Wan Bai clenched his teeth, and walked towards that direction as if he was going all out.
There weren't many people around. After she filled out a series of forms on the first floor, a staff member led her towards the high platform.
Because he was too nervous, he accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry!"
Lin Wan Bai immediately apologized and continued to move forward in panic.
She had only taken two steps when she was chased by someone she had just bumped into, blocking her path. Only now did she clearly see what her opponent looked like. It was a tall and straight man with handsome features who seemed like he had just finished his extreme sports.
The man smiled. His Mandarin was a bit stiff, and his tongue was curled up. His voice was barely audible in Cantonese. "Miss, your phone dropped!"
Lin Wan Bai was startled, then reacted, and quickly extended his hand to receive it.
"Ah, thank you …" After a hasty thank you, she put her phone in her pocket, zipped it up and caught up with the staff member in front of her.
She quickly walked to the bottom of the platform. It was a steel elevator that was built for the construction site, and it was hollowed out on all four sides. There was a huge "clang" when it closed and was used for operation, and during the process, she held on tightly to both sides of the elevator without even daring to open her eyes.
Only when the staff member went up to remind her did she realize that she was already up there. The moment she stepped forward, a violent wind blew and she could feel her legs trembling.
Lin Wan Bai's mind was in a mess, he did not even know how he got there.
She was already equipped with safety gear, and there was a heavy air cushion behind her feet. All she could think about was this belief.
Directly below the high platform was a tranquil lake. It was as if one could faintly hear the sound of water splashing on top of it. Standing at the edge of the lake, one would feel dizzy just by looking down.
Lin Wan Bai was in a trance, and he once again saw the scene where his mother jumped down from the top floor.
However, very quickly, that pair of deep and unfathomable eyes appeared in her mind once again, and they were deep like an ancient well.
She closed her eyes and jumped forward — —
When he heard the rustling of the tornadoes, Lin Wan Bai was so terrified that his heart and liver almost dropped out.
Four years ago, Huo Chang Yuan had punished her by bringing her to jump on the umbrella, and she had immediately fainted at that time. She did not expect that after so many years, history would still have such shocking similarities.
When Lin Wan Bai returned to the hotel, it was already evening.
The night in Hong Kong was bustling with neon lights. There were many crowded shops on the streets. She had no time to enjoy the night and was in no mood to stroll around. She could only lie on her bed and stare at the ceiling absentmindedly.
After a long while, she raised her hand and covered her eyes in frustration.
Lin Wan Bai did not manage to see Elder Li again, because after jumping off the bungee jumping platform, she immediately fainted and was sent to the hospital by the staff there.
Night had already fallen. The amount of time Huo Rong had to investigate the situation was limited, and other than some official matters, her private itineraries were not leaked out.
Therefore, she could only wait until tomorrow.
At the same time, in the Ice City's Lu family's living room.
Although the matter of Huo Chang Yuan being taken away by the Public Security Bureau had been deliberately suppressed, the news had still leaked.
After Lu Jing Xue looked around, she put down her phone, and couldn't help but head back to her mother who was sitting on the sofa and eating bird's nest.
"Mom …"
Without waiting for her to finish, Ruan Zheng Mei interrupted her, "What's the rush!"
"Since the net is already down, when do we have to wait for it to be retracted?" Lu Jing Xue's face looked anxious.
"I've already said it, what's the rush!" Ruan Zheng Mei looked at her, placed the bowl on the table, and then continued speaking, "It's not the time yet, he has only been inside for two days, so he should not suffer, how can he know how wrong he has always been! "When that time comes, no matter if it's you or the Huo family, you'll be able to provide help in a timely manner …"
After Lu Jing Xue finished listening, he nodded, "Mn, Mom, I will listen to you! I just can't bear to see him suffer! "
Ruan Zheng Mei comforted his daughter with a few more heartfelt words. Hearing the sound of footsteps upstairs, he immediately warned her in a low voice, "Don't say anymore, your father is coming down!"
Lu Xue Lin was dressed in his clothes as he walked down the stairs. His body had recently recovered a lot, but he still looked pale and weak.
"Hubby, why aren't you lying in your room anymore?" Ruan Zheng Mei walked over gently.
"I've been lying down for too long. Let's go downstairs!" Lu Xue Lin was supported onto the sofa and asked the two of them, "What were you two talking about just now? When you saw me, you stopped talking.
"What can we talk about!" Ruan Zheng Mei's expression did not change as he laughed, "It's still not Jing Xue. I was worried about your body and said that if you want to obtain some Chinese medicine, come back and boil yourself. I'll help you recuperate your body!"
Lu Jing Xue smiled along with her.
Seeing that, Lu Xue Lin nodded his head in gratification: "Jing Xue is getting more sensible!"
