Astonished, Lily watches a series of moves of him, completely unaware of what he intends to do.
“I can’t! You are squatting there! How can I get over there?”
“Yes, you can. Move your legs first and I will keep squatting down.” The man sounds a bit hasty, with
his face tightening up, “There is no time left, come on!”
“But…”
“The current speed is 120 kilometers per hour. According to calculation, there is a tunnel in the middle
during the way back, after which there is a mountain with a city moat. The moat winds around City J
and leads to other places. We need to drive into the moat and jump out the second before the car falls.”
The man speaks fast, but as clearly as possible.
Drive into the river and jump out of the car?
Lily can’t help shocking at the thought of this. No mortal will be able to do that, right? A second late and
she might die in the river.
With her heart beating so fast that she feels like exploding, Lily does the calculation in her head…It is
next to impossible to do this and succeed.
Seeing her hesitating, the man squints at her and asks, “Miss Lily, do you believe in Mr. Ryan?”
Does she believe in him?
Yes, she does, because if not, what is she doing now? At the moment he cut the barred wire, there is
no turning back.
Lily takes a deep breath and though there is still hesitation in her eyes, she begins acting as per the
man’s instructions.
In the speeding car, Lily slowly moves left to the driver’s seat.
“Now grab the steering wheel. I will squat down, and you just drive.” The man finishes his sentence and
straightly hands the wheel to Lily before squatting down in a single instant.
The man is kind of tall, so it takes her some time to totally get to the driver’s seat. Lily holds the
steering wheel while the man is trying to control the gas.
Half a minute passes; the entrance of the tunnel with yellow light is coming into sight. Lily gets
drenched in sweats and yells, “We are coming in the tunnel!”
Lily feels like this is a moment between life and death. When she says that, the man also gets intense.
Several seconds pass, the man says steadily, “Don’t worry.”
Lily doesn’t know what he is doing, and only feels his arms touching her legs sometimes. But almost
nailed on the seat, she is too strained to look down.
Watching ahead, she nervously notices the man, “We are one third through the tunnel. What do we do
now?”
The man looks up and opens his mouth, “I need to use something to support the accelerator so that we
won’t need to step on it later. Besides, I also need to move the oil tube.”
“Move?”
“Yes. So that the car explodes the moment it touches the water. We must calculate and find an exact
moment to jump.” He explains in a plain voice like he is just explaining a math problem.
Lily almost loses control. Explode?!
She raises her voice and shouts, “If the car explodes, we are all going to die!”
She is not afraid of death, but she can’t kill her baby.
At the thought of her baby, she explains immediately, “Do you know that I am pregnant?”
Ryan has already told him all of her personal information before, so the man is not surprised and says,
“Yes, I am aware of that.”
Lily’s face gets paler and paler. She knows this is not a joke. It is a matter of life and death. She says in
a deep voice, “We can make no mistake.”
There is quite a distance from the tunnel entrance and the moat. Besides, they have to jump from a
speeding car.
“Please be reassured, Miss Lily. Even if I need to die ten times, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
With that, the man gets up from the bottom and squeezes with her in the same seat. The car is
speeding like before but none of them is stepping on the gas.
When everything is ready and the last step is to jump, they both get intense.
“Mr. Ryan is a man worth of faith, and I hope you can trust him.” Even at this last minute, he is still
defending Ryan.
With that, Lily first seems to be in a trance and then answers, “Either I believe in him or not, I have
already put our lives on his hands.”
She and her baby’s lives hang in the balance.
Then both of them keep quiet. If Ryan really wants her dead, why does him bother to put time and
energy in this plan, even risking his subordinate’s life？
To him, killing her is like stepping on an ant.
Watching ahead, she realizes they are getting to the exit.
Feeling adrenaline flowing in her body, Lily breathes faster with her heart at the throat.
With only a third left, the man begins rolling down the window, which is definitely unallowed by
regulations.
The prison transporter is followed by a car with armed police, which is in charge of supervision.
Observing the prison transporter’s abnormal speed and opening window, armed police page him,
“Watch out and roll up the window!”
The man doesn’t move and keeps staring at the road affront.
Drenched in sweats, Lily holds her belly as if this way her baby will be safer.
The man glances at her action and feels touched. He lowers his voice, “Miss Lily, sorry to offend you.”
Before she can respond, the man holds her tight immediately.
“Ah!” Lily cries out loud, “What are you doing!”
“On the count of three. You jump and I will protect you!” The man raises his voice. The window is fully
down now, and she can feel the wind cutting her face.
Lily can’t help trembling. She peeks at the review mirror and finds the car behind already on with the
alarm, which keeps echoing in the tunnel and piercing her ears.
Lily takes a deep breath and feels courage piling up in her body.
With the light getting closer and closer, the exit is right before them. Finally, the car rushes out of the
road and at this right moment, the man’s hands get tightened and he grabs the steering wheel from
Lily, shouting, “Now! Hold your body！”
With that, the car dashes towards the edge of the switchback. It is clearly a curve route, but the
steering wheel doesn’t move at all. Therefore, seen from the back, the car looks like it goes straight
out.
