Yanshan.
Lin Qingyou and Yin Yixuan rushed to their destination.
However, when they arrived, they didn’t see Yin Hanyu or Ming Yu.
Instead, they saw Xu Wen wearing a safety helmet, looking left and right beside a large pit.
Lin Qingyou patted Xu Wen from behind. “Assistant Xu, why are you here? Where’s Yin Hanyu?”
Xu Wen pointed at the huge pit in front of them. “I’m here to dig a hole.”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Yin Yixuan: “…”
As expected, Yin Hanyu was a lunatic, making his assistant dig a hole in the middle of the night.
“Then where is Yin Hanyu?” Lin Qingyou asked again.
Assistant Xu pointed at the deep pit again. “He and Miss Ming went down.”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Yin Yixuan: “…”
Yin Hanyu, that crazy man, why did he take Ming Yu down there too?
“Digging? Going down?” Lin Qingyou quickly moved closer to take a look.
Whoa! That was a massive pit—at least a few hundred meters deep.
But there was no sign of Yin Hanyu or Ming Yu at the bottom.
Assistant Xu explained, “Miss Qingyou, your father originally planned to build an underground hotel here. The excavation has been going on for a long time, and last night, the president ordered us to continue digging all night.”
“Not only is it deep, but it’s also extremely wide.” After all, it was meant to accommodate an underground hotel.
“So, from up here, you won’t be able to see them at all.”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyou was about to go down immediately, but Xu Wen quickly stopped her. “Miss Qingyou, you can’t go down there.”
“Why not?”
“The president said it’s dangerous down there. Except for him and Miss Ming, no one else is allowed.”
Yin Yixuan, upon hearing this, cursed Yin Hanyu while jumping straight into the pit.
That bastard! He knew it was dangerous, yet he still took Ming Yu down?
Did he even have a heart?
Lin Qingyou ignored Assistant Xu’s warnings and immediately jumped down after him.
But the moment they reached the bottom, an indescribably pungent smell hit them in the face.
Yin Yixuan, who had been pampered all his life, instantly started vomiting.
Lin Qingyou didn’t throw up, but the stench made her feel extremely nauseous.
“Can you handle this?” Lin Qingyou pointed outside. “If not, just leave. I’ll go in alone.”
Yin Yixuan, still retching, was provoked by her words. No matter how miserable he felt, he had to pretend to be fine and kept walking forward.
Lin Qingyou scoffed. “Yin Xiaosan was right. You just care too much about saving face.”
Yin Yixuan: “…”
Despite their mutual dislike, Lin Qingyou and Yin Yixuan continued deeper inside.
That’s when they realized—this place was more than just a deep pit.
As they went further, the structure resembled a tunnel.
There were even iron doors.
Seeing the iron doors, Lin Qingyou and Yin Yixuan exchanged glances, their eyes full of confusion.
What was this place before?
BOOM… BOOM… BOOM…
Suddenly, a series of deafening explosions erupted from inside, shaking the narrow space violently.
Lin Qingyou and Yin Yixuan’s expressions instantly changed from calm to sheer worry.
But instead of retreating, they ran straight toward the explosions.
“Yin Hanyu!” Lin Qingyou called out anxiously as she ran, her voice trembling.
“Ming Yu!” Yin Yixuan followed closely, his heart pounding.
But when they burst through the iron doors, the scene before them made them freeze in place.
Yin Hanyu and Ming Yu were sprinting toward them at lightning speed. Behind them, raging flames spread like a demonic force, accompanied by continuous explosions that shook the ground.
And then—Ming Yu tripped.
She lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.
“Ming Yu!”
“Ming Yu!!”
Both Yin Hanyu and Yin Yixuan cried out at the same time.
Especially Yin Hanyu—he had already reached a safe distance, but the moment he saw Ming Yu fall, he didn’t hesitate.
He turned back and rushed toward her.
Just as Yin Hanyu grabbed Ming Yu’s arm—
BOOM!
Another thunderous explosion erupted.
Flames shot skyward, forming a blazing column of fire. The powerful shockwave swept through the space like a tidal wave.
Ming Yu didn’t even have time to react before she was flung into the air and then slammed onto the ground.
Dust and smoke filled the air, making it impossible to see clearly.
When the smoke cleared, they saw—
Yin Hanyu had pushed Ming Yu to safety just in time. She had rolled to the side.
But Yin Hanyu’s back… was covered in blood.
Ming Yu endured the pain and scrambled to his side. “Are you okay?”
Yin Hanyu frowned from the pain but replied indifferently, “Not dead yet.”
Ming Yu said, “Thank you… for saving me again.”
Yin Hanyu forced himself up. “Cut the crap. You’ve saved me plenty of times too.”
Ming Yu bent down and picked up the object that had tripped her earlier—it was a black, dusty plaque.
She wiped it with her hand but still couldn’t read what it said.
“What’s wrong?”
“This is what tripped me.”
“Let’s get out of here first, or this stupid thing might kill you again.”
“Kill you, you mean?” Ming Yu teased, tucking the plaque away. “After all, you’re the one injured.”
Yin Yixuan watched their effortless rapport, his mind flashing back to when he had witnessed Ming Yu risking her life to push Yin Hanyu away from an oncoming truck.
He stared at them, his gaze turning icy.
“Lin Qingyou, now do you believe me? Those two are the real deal. They’d die for each other.”
Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes. “Seriously? We’re in a life-and-death situation, and you’re jealous?”
Yin Yixuan snapped, “This is exactly when you can tell how much someone truly matters!”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
That… actually made sense.
So should she be jealous too?
Suddenly, Lin Qingyou placed her hands on her hips and shouted toward Yin Hanyu, “Yin Hanyu, I’m jealous! Come and comfort me!”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
Yin Yixuan: “…”
What the hell? What kind of woman just yells that out loud like that?!
