Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle Chapter 930 Cliff
Previously on Dating My Scumbag Ex's Uncle...
Lin Nan clenched her jaw, her voice laced with urgency, "Fine, take my car and go. It's parked in the lot!"
An excellent notion it was.
Observing more and more guards closing in, I realized that even with superpowers, I wouldn't be able to achieve anything. So, I quietly told the Mute Girl, "Mute Girl, let's get out of here for now. We'll come back later for your parents and Big Brother."
Wiping her tears, the Mute Girl glanced back at Peony Garden and nodded emphatically.
Once inside Lin Nan's car, Lin Nan started to negotiate. "Nanxing, I'm a woman of my word. I will absolutely help you escape this place!"
With my palm styled like a blade, I delivered a swift, hard strike to the back of her neck, causing her to collapse limply onto the ground.
"Mute Girl, get in the car!" I nudged Lin Nan aside and, after a glance at the wound on her face, decided to leave her a memento. This would ensure she wouldn't forget the pain once her scars healed.
"Mute Girl, hold on tight. My driving is exceptional!" I felt it necessary to instill some confidence in the Mute Girl.
Utilizing the car phone, I contacted Jing Tian. "Jing Tian! Track my location and come pick me up!"
Though I remained silent, Jing Tian's voice was thick with emotion. "Alright, Nanxing, be careful. I'll be there momentarily!"
Slamming the accelerator, the car lurched forward.
The Mute Girl clutched the grab handle on the roof, her gaze fixed on me in sheer terror.
I offered her a smile. Excellent. At least the Mute Girl wouldn't scream like Mai Qi and Jing Ni, which would only disrupt my concentration.
The ache in my lower abdomen caused a flare of anxiety; I needed to get home quickly to ensure my child was safe.
Jing Tian soon bypassed the car's security, and under his remote guidance, I navigated the route with relative ease.
Blast it all, Wen Dian!
He had actually constructed his palace atop a mountain. While the signal wasn't an issue, the mountain terrain proved challenging for my current driving capabilities.
I carefully managed the car's speed, my knuckles white on the steering wheel.However, at a particularly sharp bend, I was forced to slam on the brakes.
The Mute Girl beside me had already squeezed her eyes shut tight.
A sheen of cold sweat covered my brow as I peered out the car window.
Jing Tian's voice suddenly crackled through the comms device, "Nanxing, don't move, freeze. Don't be scared, I'm arriving right now!"
I kept my foot firmly on the brake, afraid to move even an inch. Beyond the frantic thumping of my heart, I dared not make another motion.
The sound of a helicopter approaching from overhead reached my ears. I closed my eyes. While I remained tense, I knew we were safe now. Salvation had arrived.
The helicopter maneuvered, lowering two rope ladders. I offered a silent prayer, accompanied by a curse directed at the eighteen generations of the Wen and Lin families.
"Nanxing!"
The rear door swung open, and Jing Tian's voice echoed within.
"Jing Tian!" My voice broke as I spoke.
Both rear doors opened. Jing Tian calmly instructed the Mute Girl and me to scuttle into the backseats from the front, then carefully lifted me out from the rear.
Jing Tian held me in a tight embrace, murmuring reassurances. "It's alright, it's alright. Don't be scared. It's okay, it's okay."
Exhausted, I wrapped my arms around his waist, burying my face in his chest. "Jing Tian, my legs feel so weak," I sobbed.
Jing Tian gently scooped me up and carried me, his chin stroking the top of my head. "There, there. It's okay. Don't be afraid."
The Mute Girl stood to the side, paralyzed with fear.
Gao Da was directing Lu Heng and Xiaoyi to follow the car. Only then did I truly grasp the precariousness of our situation.
The car's front wheels dangled precariously over the cliff's edge; a slight shift would send the Mute Girl, myself, and the vehicle plummeting into the abyss.
