Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634: Buried
At least seeing those assassins below, she could only think of the danger Brother Ling Kong was in, falling into their hands.
No matter how naive she was, she understood that the Ji Family’s collaboration with the government on weapon design blueprints could never be handed over to an enemy country. If Uncle Ji dared to do it, it would be treason, and the entire Ji Clan would be buried as a result. Too many lives were at stake in this matter.
If Russell and the others couldn’t get the design book, what would they do to Brother Ling Kong? He would be in a very dangerous situation.
Her heart felt heavy.
She didn’t want to owe him anything, especially not him.
He only had a sense of duty toward her, so she would repay everything she owed him, and they would have no further ties.
With a bang, she plunged into the sea, the massive impact almost causing her to faint.
The falling helicopter also smashed into the ship, causing it to capsize, stirring up huge waves. A wave hit her into the seawater, continuously dragging her down.
She had never thought she would die, but at this moment, she truly realized she might die.
It wasn’t without fear, this feeling of being buried in the deep sea.
Too many things left undone; the road had just begun. But in her heart, there was no regret; she had never done something so brave, relying on herself to achieve something, saving him, no longer depending on anyone.
Only, she was unwilling to die like this.
As the light in the seawater grew dimmer, suddenly a figure swam swiftly toward her. She widened her eyes, incredulously looking at him, wanting to shout Brother Ling Kong’s name, but only bubbles came out of her mouth.
Why had he come? Wasn’t he still in mid-air?
Her head was foggy; she couldn’t think much, yet he embraced her waist forcefully and swam fiercely toward the surface.
Almost exhausted, the two finally swam to the surface, breaking through the water and breathing in air again. Jun Yiyi felt as if she were dreaming. Had she been saved?
But she didn’t realize a gigantic whirlpool was approaching them.
The helicopter hitting the ship caused it to sink, creating a huge whirlpool in the surrounding seawater, pulling everything into the center, sweeping it to the bottom of the sea.
"Hold tight, remember, never let go, understand?" the urgent shout of Ji Lingkong exploded in her ears, carrying a strong command. Then a strap was shoved into her hands, which she grabbed instinctively, yet her mind was too chaotic to comprehend the situation.
Then came a massive lift, pulling her upwards out of the water.
She looked down in terror, seeing Ji Lingkong bobbing on the sea, looking up at her, and then suddenly understanding. Her face turned pale.
The rope’s length was insufficient; he had cut it, plunged into the water to rescue her, and with the broken strap, it was impossible to pull them both up. He chose to put the strap into her hands.
Jun Yiyi widened her eyes, watching as the enormous whirlpool approached him. In an instant, the powerful vortex engulfed him. Even as he was swept away, his eyes remained fixed on her, filled with a profound and complex emotion as vast as the sea.
Hadn’t he said he would leave her alone?
Why did he do this?
She didn’t understand.
She only felt a sudden surge of extreme terror in her heart; she had finally lost something.
"Brother Ling Kong—" she screamed heartbreakingly, tears welling up in her eyes.
In that instant, she let go of her hand.
Falling into the sea, following him, both were swept into the depths by the whirlpool.
