Chapter 22 Selflessly Saving Lives, Life Hangs by a Thread
Mo Fei'ao noticed that Ning Yao, who was riding a skateboard, was gradually overtaking him, and he felt annoyed, so he also started to speed up and rush forward.
Two skateboards were about to fly off the edge of the swimming pool on the top floor of the high-rise building. Several timid spectators covered their eyes, and the women screamed, terrified by the scene and too scared to look.
Ning Yao continued to accelerate, but Mo Fei'ao couldn't keep up. He made a sharp turn and crashed into the transparent pool wall, forcing his skateboard to stop. He fell into the water, splashing water and ending up in a disheveled state.
His heart was pounding wildly, and he yelled at Ning Yao, "Damn it, you crazy woman, you're asking for it!"
Seeing Mo Fei'ao stop, Ning Yao calmly used the skillful force of her legs to turn the skateboard around, and then stood horizontally on the top edge of the high-rise swimming pool wall. This set of movements was cool and neat, which drew cheers from the onlookers, who applauded wildly for her.
Ning Yao's tall and slender figure stood steadily on the skateboard, with a dark and starless night sky behind her. The night wind blew her hair, and below the thirty-story high-rise, cars and people bustled about, their lights flashing.
The result of the competition was obvious: Ning Yao won, and won spectacularly, gaining countless fans.
The men were thrilled by the match, standing up to whistle, shout, and cheer. The women watching the spectacle were also swooning over Ning Yao, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
"That girl is so cool!"
"Today's competition was absolutely amazing! I've never seen such a skilled electric skateboarder before. She's even better than the professional skaters! You're so awesome, girl! You're awesome!"
"If you were a man, I'd definitely marry you! I love you so much, you're so handsome!"
Hearing everyone praise Ning Yao's abilities, Mo Fei'ao wore a sour face, extremely unconvinced.
He picked up the skateboard from the water, jumped on it, and began to accelerate towards the pool wall, doing a drift just like Ning Yao.
But Mo Fei'ao's skills were not up to par. As soon as he flew onto the pool wall, he lost his balance and fell tilted out of the building.
He was immediately terrified, his face turned deathly pale, and he opened his lips but couldn't utter a single sound.
The moment he fell off the building, he felt a strong sense of weightlessness; this was the first time Mo Feiao had experienced the feeling of facing death.
Am I about to die here?
Mo Fei'ao was filled with despair. He gritted his teeth, resigned himself to his fate, closed his eyes, and let his body fall.
Suddenly, a pair of fair and strong hands grabbed him, giving Mo Feiao a foothold. His body slammed against the edge of the building's exterior wall, swaying from side to side, hanging precariously in mid-air.
His electric sleigh lost control, flew out of the building, and crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
The drone happened to capture this scene, and everyone was stunned. No one reacted in time, and the entire place fell silent.
Seeing this, a man with an extraordinary demeanor rushed out from the other side of the spectator sofa. He took an electric sled from a staff member, stepped on it with practiced ease, and sped towards the two people at the edge of the pool.
It was only then that the stunned staff realized something had happened!
Chen Xuezong realized what was happening and rushed over as well, shouting, "Quick, go save them!"
Mo Fei'ao, who was hanging outside the building, looked up in shock and stared at Ning Yao with astonishment in his eyes.
Did this woman save him?
Does she know how dangerous this is? If she's not strong enough, he'll drag her down, and neither of them will survive!
Ning Yao gradually lost her grip, and the hand that was holding Mo Fei'ao was cut by the sharp edge of the pool, causing her to wince in pain.
Ning Yao's arm was dislocated, and with the cuts, she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. The wound from the sharp edges kept bleeding, and the blood dripped down Ning Yao's arm and onto Mo Fei'ao's face. Even so, she still refused to let go.
The sight of the scalding blood startled Mo Fei'ao, but a surge of warmth welled up within him. He didn't want to implicate Ning Yao, but his survival instinct made him cling to her arm like a lifeline, afraid to let go.
Ning Yao couldn't bear to stand by and watch someone die.
At this moment, the happy smiling faces of several children flashed through Ning Yao's mind, and she seemed to have gained motivation. She composed herself and desperately grabbed Mo Fei'ao, while inwardly cursing Mo Fei'ao for being such a fool for trying to save face and ending up in such a state.
Just when Ning Yao was about to give up, two safety ropes suddenly secured her and Mo Fei'ao outside the building.
Wen Tingye nimbly leaped onto the pool wall, crouched down beside Ning Yao, his dark eyes sweeping over her before coldly glancing at Mo Fei'ao's fingers that were gripping Ning Yao tightly, and said in a cold voice, "Aren't you going to let go?"
Mo Fei'ao was stunned by Wen Tingye's tone. After confirming that he would not fall, he carefully let go of the hand and hung on the edge of the wall outside the building like a dried duck, swaying in the wind.
Ning Yao was exhausted and a wave of dizziness hit her, almost causing her to fall.
In the last second before losing consciousness, she vaguely saw Wen Tingye's handsome face approaching her...
This man looks quite handsome in his white shirt.
Wen Tingye caught the unconscious Ning Yao, picked her up and jumped off the edge of the pool, landing steadily.
Chen Xuezong arrived and stepped forward to take Ning Yao from Wen Tingye's hands.
Wen Tingye tightened his grip on Ning Yao, showing no intention of letting go. He coldly brushed past Chen Xuezong and walked towards Lian Qiran, calling out, "Qiran, call Hu Mingyu up."
Hu Mingyu was a brother of Wen Tingye who served in the army together. He was young but had superb medical skills and had saved many people on the battlefield. Now he was the director of the top private hospital in the capital city and had not personally performed surgery on patients for a long time.
Now, because of a woman he's only known for a short time and a minor injury, he's come up here in person.
Tsk tsk, this woman is no ordinary person.
Lian Qiran suppressed the burning gossip fire in his heart and made a phone call.
Yang Dongcha certainly recognized Wen Tingye, but even so, she couldn't just stand by and watch her best friend be taken away by a dangerous man.
“Mr. Wen, Yao Yao is my best friend. I will take her to see a doctor immediately and take good care of her. You don’t need to worry about it.”
"Your best friend got into trouble at your place, and you still think you're capable of taking care of her?" Wen Tingye glanced at Yang Dongcha, his voice low and chilling, his words clearly blaming her.
Yang Dongcha was speechless after Wen Tingye's words, and didn't know what to say. Her face turned red and white in turns.
Wen Tingye was carrying Ning Yao and preparing to go to the VIP room. Yang Dongcha, intimidated by his aura, unconsciously took a step back and made way for Wen Tingye.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuezong hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but was pulled back by Lian Qiran, who was standing to the side, with a smile.
"open!"
"Don't worry, Tingye just wants to save her, he won't hurt her."
As they were talking, Wen Tingye had already carried the person away from the top floor.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Chen Xuezong turned to look at Yang Dongcha with a slight displeasure.
"Is this your territory? Are you just going to watch Yao Yao get taken away like this?"
Yang Dongcha felt a little guilty; this man had too strong an aura.
But Wen Tingye was Yao Yao's first lover, and maybe the two could develop a dramatic love story. She couldn't very well stand in the way of her best friend's happiness with such a eligible bachelor.
But seeing Chen Xuezong's nervous look, she immediately waved and sent a few of her own people to follow Wen Tingye, preventing them from leaving the club and in case of any accidents that she couldn't handle.
"Xuezong, come with me." Yang Dongcha pulled Chen Xuezong aside and explained Wen Tingye's identity and background to him.
In the capital city, no one dared to go against the Wen family, not even the Yang family. The Wen family was the most powerful of the five major families.
Chen Xuezong frowned and disagreed, arguing that Yao Yao's situation was even more dangerous precisely because of that man.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu's technique is very good. That mask is waterproof and sweatproof, and it can't be washed off under normal circumstances. To completely wipe it off, you have to use a special solution."
The two were talking in hushed tones, unaware that Lian Qiran was standing behind them.
Suddenly, Lian Qiran asked with a look of curiosity.
"What kind of product is waterproof and sweatproof, yet can't be washed off?"
Wen Tingye carried the unconscious Ning Yao into a lounge and then gently placed her on the sofa, letting her lie flat.
Her arm was held firmly by Wen Tingye, and the wound did not tear at all because of his movements.
But to ensure that her arms were not strained, Wen Tingye couldn't leave his side and could only let Ning Yao's head rest on his lap.
Ning Yao's head rested softly on Wen Tingye's dark suit trousers, her sideways movement revealing her slender, fair swan neck and graceful, charming figure.
At this moment, her facial expression showed no sign of defensiveness, much like an innocent and naive mermaid, completely at the mercy of others.
