Chapter 189: 189 Did You Hear Any Sound?
Just like he did when they came to America, now they must leave in the same way, without any mental preparation.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to return?”
“But it doesn’t have to be so rushed… Plus, what’s going to happen to your business?”
At Qin Youxuan’s words, she distinctly noticed his steps pause. She quickly disentangled herself from his embrace.
“Dan Hanjie, there really is no need to rush. I can wait another couple of days.”
“Have Yao stay. He knows how to handle things.” Dan Hanjie’s eyes narrowed, his voice indifferent as he glanced at Yao, who had just returned to make his report.
Late at night.
At a time when they should be lying in bed resting, they were waiting to board a plane at a private airport.
The bodyguards were loading luggage onto the helicopter. Qin Youxuan had nothing to do, so she stood by Dan Hanjie’s side, playing with the buttons on his shirt sleeve.
Once everything was ready, the pilot opened the helicopter’s cabin door, waiting for Dan Hanjie to board.
“You’re just leaving like this, are you really okay with that?” Qin Youxuan tightly gripped Dan Hanjie’s hand, subconsciously glancing at Yao standing nearby.
The moment Yao heard that Dan Hanjie planned to rush back to the country overnight, his expression turned sour.
Although Qin Youxuan didn’t know what big business deal he had abandoned, looking at Yao’s expression, she guessed that there must have been some important matters left unattended.
“Wasn’t it you who wanted to return? Why the sudden hesitation?” Dan Hanjie, clad in a dark trench coat, exuded an intimidating aura.
The wide coat lapel wrapped Qin Youxuan’s petite form, accentuating her delicateness.
“I do want to return, but there’s no rush…”
“Since you want to return, then don’t put on a pretense. You’re not good at playing the sympathetic part anyway.”
Damn, her brain must have been squeezed by a door earlier!
Why worry about his affairs? It would be best if all his businesses collapsed, and see how he would brag then!
The helicopter ascended slowly into the sky.
Leaving Pittsburgh after just a few days, Qin Youxuan couldn’t help but lean close to the window, gazing at the enchanting night view below.
The helicopter was approaching the confluence of three rivers; the rushing water sound below, like a dam breaking its banks, was very clear.
“Dan Hanjie, can you hear that sound?”
“Hm?” Dan Hanjie raised his enchanting eyes, clear and bright.
“A beeping sound. At first, I thought it was the sound of water near the river, but we’ve flown so far from it, how can we still hear it?”
Dan Hanjie suddenly stiffened, quickly straightening up and following Qin Youxuan’s pointed direction, scanning the river below.
Indeed, they had already flown past the river, but a faint sound, like water, still resonated in the helicopter.
Dan Hanjie’s eyes flashed a chilling glare. In a split second, he pulled out a life jacket from under his seat and put it on Qin Youxuan.
“Hold onto me!”
With a parachute strapped on, Dan Hanjie took Qin Youxuan in his arms, opened the cabin door, and jumped out.
“Aaah!”
With the roaring wind in her ears, Qin Youxuan was terrified as she wrapped her arms and legs around him, fearing a slight tremble from Dan Hanjie would mean her doom.
“Boom!”
Just as they were freefalling, an explosion sounded above them.
A column of fiery light burst into the sky. Pieces of debris from the helicopter showered down, appearing like a massive firework display against the night sky.
The glow of the fire lit up Qin Youxuan’s face, exposing a pure white color of fear.
