Chapter 360: Chapter 360: As Long as Bai Haoxue’s Life Is Not Endangered
Ji Hanyu didn’t answer Bai Haoxue’s question; those things didn’t matter to him.
Right now, the important thing was to get her up there quickly.
Ji Hanyu shouted upwards, "Lin Zhan, quickly pull her up."
"No!" Bai Haoxue looked at Ji Hanyu, firmly saying, "If you don’t go up, I won’t either."
"..." Ji Hanyu, "Did I say I’m not going up? I’m just letting you go first. Ladies first, it’s gentlemanly conduct, don’t you understand?"
Bai Haoxue: "..."
"I don’t care." Bai Haoxue continued fastening the rope onto Ji Hanyu, "It might press against your wound, bear with it!"
"Crack... crack..."
While Bai Haoxue was securing the rope on Ji Hanyu, several wooden planks suddenly fell from the bridge above.
The suspension bridge was already extremely old, looking loose and flimsy, so a few planks falling was considered normal.
But Ji Hanyu was right underneath, and the planks fell directly onto his body and hands.
Although he didn’t scream out in pain, he couldn’t help but let out a hissing sound from the sharp pain.
And Ji Hanyu’s grip on the rope involuntarily loosened due to the planks hitting him.
"Ji Hanyu..."
Bai Haoxue promptly lunged down to grab his hand.
Bai Haoxue was able to stay suspended in mid-air entirely because she was tied around the waist, with people above holding her up.
But her sudden lunge to grab Ji Hanyu, with excessive force, plus the sudden addition of Ji Hanyu’s weight...
The people above were completely unprepared for this unexpected situation and were nearly dragged down.
Seeing the dangerous situation, the other people quickly rushed to help pull them up.
However, while the crisis above was resolved, the danger below was becoming increasingly perilous.
At this moment, Ji Hanyu was not falling entirely because Bai Haoxue was tightly holding his hand.
But he was completely suspended in the air with no point of leverage, making it extremely difficult for Bai Haoxue to hold onto him.
They were at least seven or eight meters away from the top, and the people above had no way to help except to tightly pull the rope tied to Bai Haoxue’s body.
In such a situation, Bai Haoxue trying to hold onto Ji Hanyu was almost impossible.
Ji Hanyu knew this very well, so he began to hold Bai Haoxue’s hand less tightly, slowly creating a false appearance.
And Bai Haoxue understood this too.
But she had to hold on, she absolutely had to hold on.
Bai Haoxue struggled to extend both her hands, but she sensitively felt that Ji Hanyu was no longer tightly holding her hand.
Bai Haoxue panicked inside, grabbing him even tighter, "Ji Hanyu, if you dare let go of my hand, I will immediately jump down."
"You..."
"You know what I’m like, dare to let go and see?"
"Boss... hold on, I’m coming down right now."
Above, everyone shone flashlights and lamps, as Lin Zhan tied a rope around his waist, slowly being lowered down.
He planned to tie the rope on Ji Hanyu just like how Bai Haoxue had saved that child earlier. With so many people above, they would definitely be able to pull Ji Hanyu up.
As for him and Miss Bai, they were also tied with ropes and could slowly climb up later.
Ji Hanyu was deterred from the thought of letting go by Bai Haoxue’s shouting.
He wasn’t someone who wanted to die. Since he could be rescued by holding on a bit, he certainly wouldn’t choose death.
However, that was on the condition that Bai Haoxue’s life safety was not affected.
As he looked up and saw Lin Zhan coming down, his vision caught sight of the rope tied around Bai Haoxue, which had already been severely worn down by the rocks at the edge of the cliff...
