Chapter 22: The Great Price

  As soon as they left the greenhouse, they saw a long Lincoln RV parked outside the door. Xuan Yue had already gotten in, with Cheng Siyi driving and Xue Ying in the passenger seat. Doremi looked at the seating arrangement, although she was extremely unwilling, but could only reluctantly sit in the back seat next to Xuan Yue.

  There were several Mercedes-Benz cars following closely behind, each with a small flag on top, bearing the golden five-pointed star logo of the Sanfis Group. Presumably, there were bodyguards or the like inside, making for an impressive and sensational procession.

  In the car, Sheng Xuan Yue was listening to Xue Ying's report on various matters of today's Anwei Conference. After finishing these matters, she continued to report on company affairs, making Duo Le Mi couldn't help but sigh that it's not easy being Sheng Xuan Yue's right-hand man.

  Dorothy worked as a cleaner all day today and was almost dead from exhaustion. Listening to these irrelevant things made her want to fall asleep.

  To avoid drawing Xuan Yue's cold gaze, Doremi made an effort to shift her line of sight to the scenery outside the window. They were currently driving along the 360-degree ring mountain road, heading towards the villa at the top of the mountain. Below the cliffside road was a breathtaking view of the vast ocean, and she couldn't help but think that this place wasn't bad after all!

  Just as Doremi was indulging in the scenery outside the window, she suddenly heard Sheng Xuan Yue let out a low growl:

  "Parking"

  The car screeched to a halt, and Doremi, caught off guard, had her face stuck directly to the window, turning into a silly mess!

  Ow, it hurts so much, my face is going to be deformed! What's wrong with Sheng Xuan Yue, why did he suddenly slam on the brakes?!

  "Get off..."

  Dorothy rubbed her sore cheek, still not taking any action, looking at him with a puzzled expression. This was only halfway up the mountain road, what's wrong with this guy? Why get off the bus at this time?

  Xue Ying and Cheng Siyi didn't even think about jumping off the car immediately after hearing this, but Duo Leimi didn't make any movement at all!

  At the current location of Sheng Xuan Yue, on his other side was a ring-shaped mountain wall. He had to get off through Duo Le Mi's car door, and suddenly Duo Le Mi's collar was lifted, her neck tightened, and she leaned into a warm embrace with a refreshing sandalwood scent.

  Right after a loud explosion, a strong heat wave rushed towards her, and the deafening pressure as well as the scorching flames made Dorothy roll over several times without any warning. Suddenly, her body was in mid-air, falling vertically downwards. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that her entire body had already flown out of the cliff.

  She immediately pressed the silver bangle on her hand, and the iron wire shot out from it tightly buckled onto the protruding stone wall of the cliff. Her other hand quickly grabbed the large hand that was falling past her body.

  "Got it!" Doremi tightly grasped Xuan Yue's hand, looking at the car she had just been sitting in, now engulfed in flames. If Xuan Yue hadn't pulled her out just now, would she have gone up in smoke along with the fire?

  Now I think about it and feel really shocked, she almost died just now!

  Looking down at the empty space under their feet, the azure sea that was just in front of them had turned into a shark with its bloody mouth wide open, ready to swallow the two of them.

  Dorothy is not afraid of heaven or earth, but she's most afraid of water. She's a duck that can't swim, if she falls in, she'll definitely die.

  But... looking at the rock that bore the weight of the two, Doremi discovered that even if the wire could withstand 200kg, it would probably cut through the rock.

  I didn't expect Yuwei's weapon to be used in such a situation.

  She glanced at Xuan Yue who was tightly holding her hand and for a moment, she really wanted to let go and drop him off, but instead said something that went against her heart:

  "Grab me, never let go, we... will be fine!" Doremi grasped Sheng Xuan Yue's hand firmly, while Sheng Xuan Yue's eyes remained deep and calm, as if the vast ocean beneath his feet was just ordinary flat ground.

  "Crack..."

  A loose wire

  "Ah——————" Damn it, she just said nothing was wrong, how did something happen?! She regrets it, regrets it, she should have let go earlier!!
