The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 873
Chapter 873: Who Was The Mastermind?
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng without blinking. Her eyes were red, like a kitten who had been bullied by someone.
Jiang Xuecheng met Su Wan’s gaze, and his heart softened beyond recognition.
He knew that today’s terrifying experience was enough to scare most people, whether they were men or women. For Su Wan to be able to do this, it was already very good.
Su Wan was actually braver than he had imagined.
However…
Jiang Xuecheng looked up at the sky and then looked down at the billowing seawater below.
It was already afternoon. If he and Su Wan could not get out of the trap as soon as possible, when it was night and the scenery around them could not be seen clearly, then it would be the time of true danger!
However, at the moment, as long as they thought about the various parts of the off-road vehicle that had malfunctioned, Jiang Xuecheng felt that it was not a good idea to go back directly.
Jiang Xuecheng did not know who was behind the scenes, but Executive Officer Lin knew their schedule the best.
Therefore, he was definitely involved in this matter!
Among the people who had tampered with the off-road vehicle, Executive Officer Lin was definitely the most important person. As for what kind of a boss was hiding behind it, Jiang Xuecheng could not guess at the moment.
Who would wish for him to die?
The first one to be eliminated was the high priest.
If the high priest wanted to end his life, she would not place the CHK Virus No.3 on Su Wan to pin him down.
Although he did not agree with the high priest, he was still a good puppet to the high priest, good to have around.
The high priest liked to make the best use of things, so she wouldn’t want to take his life so quickly.
If Executive Officer Lin was the one who did it, Jiang Xuecheng felt that this answer was too laughable.
If Executive Officer Lin didn’t have someone backing him up, how could he be so bold as to plot against him?
No matter what, Jiang Xuecheng was considered the emperor of the God’s Palace. His life was of great importance. If Executive Officer Lin didn’t have a reliable way out, he wouldn’t be so bold as to directly attack!
…
Jiang Xuecheng’s mind was full of thoughts. In the current situation, even a strong dragon might not be able to suppress a snake. For the time being, Jiang Xuecheng didn’t plan to return to the top.
Otherwise, with his skills, he could easily climb up with his bare hands and then call for help to save Su Wan.
What Jiang Xuecheng was afraid of was that there was still an ambush up there.
Executive Officer Lin would definitely first create the illusion that he and Su Wan had accidentally fallen into the sea. He would also have an alibi.
Executive Officer Lin would probably send someone to check whether he and Su Wan were dead or not after a while.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xuecheng finally began to propose to Su Wan.
“Wan Wan, as far as I know, there’s an uninhabited island not far from here. It shouldn’t be a big problem for the two of us to swim over from here.”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. She stared at Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face and frowned unconsciously.
“Jiang Xuecheng, are you kidding me? We are leaning against this tree and are still 20 meters away from the sea. If we fall, we will be dead, not to mention swim.”
Jiang Xuecheng could not help but laugh at Su Wan’s words.
He dug into his pocket and immediately took out the dagger that he had taken out from the car.
Under the bright sunlight, the dagger was held in his palm, emitting a cold silver light.
In fact, in the car, other than the dagger, there was also a laser gun.
However, in the current situation, the laser gun was not as practical as the dagger in his hand.
Su Wan’s gaze fell on the dagger in Jiang Xuecheng’s hand. Her clear almond-shaped eyes blinked, revealing a confused expression.
“I wanted to ask you earlier. What are you doing with a dagger?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s face revealed an unfathomable smile. He reached out and rubbed the strands of hair on Su Wan’s forehead.
“You’ll know in a while. Actually, it’s not bad if there’s an umbrella in the car. It can temporarily reduce the impact. Unfortunately, there’s no umbrella, so I can only use a small knife instead.”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. Some costume dramas inexplicably appeared in her mind.
That’s right. Weren’t the two of them performing scenes from costume dramas right now?
Jumping off a cliff!
They were just short of finding a cave and discovering the martial arts manuals left behind by undefeated masters!
In costume dramas, the male and female protagonists would most often fall off the cliff together. She had seen the male protagonist plunge his sword into the stone wall with one hand and fall off while holding the female protagonist with the other.
However, costume dramas were first and foremost fictional TV dramas. Moreover, the male protagonist’s sword was usually some peerless weapon that could cut through iron like mud. However, now that Jiang Xuecheng was a small dagger, could it be used?
Su Wan could not help but have a question mark in her heart.
Su Wan pointed at the dagger in Jiang Xuecheng’s palm.
“It’s such a small dagger, will it really help?”
Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. He began to explain to Su Wan.
“This is a dagger made with silver tear ore. Although it isn’t indestructible, its hardness and strength are definitely something.”
After all, it was far more convenient to bring a gun with him than a dagger.
Silver tear ore again?
Su Wan couldn’t help but curl her lips. She subconsciously thought of Nono, who had been left at the God’s Palace.
She didn’t know how Nono was now, or if it had been repaired…
A round silver head appeared in Su Wan’s mind. Her heart was sour and uncomfortable.
–Nono had become like this because of her.
Jiang Xuecheng had said that Nono had been hit in the chip in the core area. Even if it was repaired, the information stored in it would still be messed up.
In other words, Nono might have missed some things and even forgotten about her.
Su Wan realized that her thoughts were wandering and quickly shook her head. At this critical moment, she and Jiang Xuecheng were still trapped, so she did not have much time to think about other things.
As long as she and Jiang Xuecheng were free, she would naturally have the chance to see Nono again.
Su Wan restrained her expression. Although she still felt that this small dagger was not very reliable, she could only try her best.
She solemnly pointed at the dagger in Jiang Xuecheng’s hand.
“Xuecheng, then should we start preparing to use it now?”
Jiang Xuecheng did not expect Su Wan to be even more anxious than him. He laughed and shook his head, thinking that Su Wan was naive and cute.
“Wan Wan, at such a high distance, a dagger might not be able to withstand it. We should try to find something to put our feet on and reduce the risk to our lives.”
As he spoke, he pointed to a few places below. The last rock protruded a lot forward. If they could reach there, they would be able to shorten the distance of their descent.
“Wan Wan, look at those places. We can first rely on the branches to climb over and then try our best to jump onto that rock.”
After giving his instructions, Jiang Xuecheng had already taken the lead in demonstrating.
Jiang Xuecheng bent down and reached out to climb onto the weaker branch. He moved quickly, and after a few moves, he was close to the rock.
Then, with a leap, Jiang Xuecheng landed steadily on the big rock.
Next, it was Su Wan’s turn…
