Chapter 354 Jiang Ruan is in extreme danger

Li Chengxuan paused.

It seems they didn't expect this.

He had made preparations in advance to ensure that no other vehicles would enter that road during that time.

“It’s alright, he won’t make it there in time anyway.” Li Chengxuan wasn’t worried at all. “I’ve already given instructions to those people. Even if Huo Zhizhou investigates, he’ll only find out about Qin Muchuan, not me.”

A hint of worry flashed across the secretary's face.

He had heard about Huo Zhizhou's abilities and methods to some extent; was it possible to hide them from him?

"Is there anything else?" Li Chengxuan noticed.

"Following the clues, we found out it was indeed Qin Muchuan." The secretary was still worried that things would be exposed. "But Jiang Ruan just left the Qin family. I'm afraid not many people would believe that Qin Muchuan was the one who did it."

No one would make things so obvious.

Moreover, he is the head of the Qin family.

"Couldn't it be a frame-up? Don't forget that the Qin family also has Qin Muchi, who acts impulsively." Li Chengxuan remained calm and unhurried. "Besides, I've been busy abroad lately; how could I have time to deal with Jiang Ruan's affairs?"

In short.

The secretary understood.

"Let them do it." Li Chengxuan was eager to know the news of Jiang Ruan's accident. "If I'm really unlucky enough to be suspected by Huo Zhizhou, it doesn't matter. He can't do anything to me without evidence."

The secretary nodded slightly: "Okay."

He immediately gave instructions to the people in Haicheng: deal with Jiang Ruan at all costs.

The water was flowing very fast, and a sign appeared on the bank indicating that there was a waterfall a kilometer ahead.

Jiang Ruan and the others had been drifting in the car for quite a while, and seeing that they would be drifting to the waterfall in about ten minutes, all three of them were on tenterhooks.

"Mo Mo, Tang Bai." Jiang Ruan stared at the people holding knives and iron bars on the shore.

They both looked at her at the same time.

Jiang Ruan asked calmly, "Can you take care of the people on the shore without me being involved?"

able.

This was their first thought.

"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Bai didn't answer the question, but instead said casually, "We're your bodyguards, how could we not take care of you?"

With them protecting her, Jiang Ruan might still have a glimmer of hope. What if they leave her here alone, and there are other tricks waiting for her below the waterfall?

Based on the current situation...

It's best not to take unnecessary risks.

"Does the boss have a plan?" Mo Mo noticed Jiang Ruan's eyes; it wasn't the kind of look that suggested they should go their separate ways.

"Is Tang Bai a good swimmer or not?" Jiang Ruan didn't answer directly, but instead asked this crucial question.

Mo Mo and Tang Bai exchanged a glance.

Mo Mo: "No good."

Tang Bai: "Okay."

Tang Bai glanced at him: "You're the one who's not good."

"Telling the boss the truth will benefit his plans." Mo Mo remained rational, maintaining his detached expression. "He can swim a little, but he probably won't be able to do much in this fast-flowing river."

Jiang Ruan knew she had guessed correctly: "And you?"

Mo Mo: "Very good."

Jiang Ruan glanced at the fast-flowing water: "Can we dive across?"

These words were spoken.

Mo Mo and Tang Bai both looked at her, a vague guess forming in their minds.

“If possible, the three of us will jump in together later. Tang Bai and I will distract them on the surface, and you can dive in from another direction.” Jiang Ruan knew she was taking a risk, but there was no better way now. “If they don’t see you, they’ll definitely think you’ve been swept away by the river. Of course, for the sake of realism, Tang Bai and I will act it out.”

For the first time, a hint of seriousness appeared between Mo Mo's brows.

He's fine.

We did countless training sessions that were even faster than the water flow.

According to this plan, he is 100% guaranteed to survive, but what about the boss? She still has to wait for Tang Bai, who isn't a very good swimmer, to finish dealing with those people before she can provide backup. Does she know that she might be swept away?

"If there are no problems, let's move out." Jiang Ruan understood immediately. "Let's go!"

Whoosh!

Jiang Ruan led them all to jump down.

They swam desperately toward the shore in everyone's sight, and as expected, the people on the shore began to gather around them after they saw their actions.

"Go ahead." Jiang Ruan looked at Mo Mo, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said decisively, "Tang Bai and I are waiting for you to save us."

"Wait for me." Mo Mo didn't waste any more time or dawdle. He knew that only by eliminating those people could they have a chance of survival.

He plunged headfirst into the water.

Jiang Ruan immediately reached out, her eyes filled with panic: "Mo Mo!"

Tang Bai also acted out the scene. They were only twenty or thirty meters away from the shore, so those people naturally heard their voices.

As Mo Mo dived into the water and swam to his right, Jiang Ruan and Tang Bai swam against the current to their left towards the shore. This would give them more time and prevent them from being swept away too quickly.

"Young Miss..." This was the first time Tang Bai had found someone he could trust outside of the team.

“I’ll swim with you.” Jiang Ruan took his hand, her eyes full of determination. “You should conserve your energy as much as possible, because you’ll need to take me back after we get ashore.”

Tang Bai's throat tightened with emotion: "Okay."

He thought Jiang Ruan was pretty silly.

She'll let go of his hand and swim on her own now. That idiot Mo Mo won't suspect anything. After all, the current is fast, and it's normal that she can't hold on to a tall man like him while she's swimming.

Can……

He looked at her gripping his hand tightly, and a gentle look unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

"If I can get back alive today, I'll tell you why we came to you." He made up his mind.

"No need." Jiang Ruan was still worried for Mo Mo as she saw more and more people gathering on the shore. "Just give me a salary to save on expenses."

Tang Bai: "That won't work."

Jiang Ruan: "I think it's a good idea."

And then...

The two of them remained silent.

Swimming in this environment is extremely physically demanding.

Seeing that they were still more than ten meters away from the shore, Jiang Ruan noticed that Mo Mo had quietly gone ashore. The people with knives and iron bars were all focused on them and did not notice him.

"You bunch of idiots!" The person in the bushes behind them spotted Mo Mo and stood up, yelling at the people on the shore, "You didn't even know he was coming ashore! Come here right now!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

A fight quickly broke out on the shore.

Despite his training, Mo Mo's stamina did not decline after swimming ashore. He fought decisively and used even more force than usual in each move.

Before long, the people on the shore also rushed towards him. Apart from three people who stayed behind to keep an eye on Jiang Ruan and Tang Bai, the rest of them attacked fiercely.

They knew that if Jiang Ruan and the others escaped, they would be the ones in trouble.

Knives and clubs were pointed at Mo Mo.

Seeing more than a dozen trained people surrounding Mo Mo, and others rushing over from a distance, Jiang Ruan couldn't help but worry: "Tang Bai."

"Hmm?" Tang Bai replied.

“Shout loudly to Mo Mo, and if that doesn’t work, tell him to get away and run.” Jiang Ruan watched the knives slash past, her heart pounding with worry. “I’ll gamble with you on my luck.”

Tang Bai shouted towards the shore, "Mo Mo, the young lady said you can't beat her, so she told you to run first!"

Jiang Ruan: "???"

Is that what she meant?
