Chapter 2521 A thrilling rescue of the damsel in distress

Chapter 2521

Dong Liao's other arm was around a woman, who should be Qin Yue.

Seeing that they had stopped falling and would not continue, Jiang Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, the current situation is not optimistic.

A short knife can only withstand a very low load.

Two grown men hanging in mid-air like that clearly couldn't last long.

They could even see with the naked eye that their bodies were falling.

Afraid that she would cry out and startle the two people in mid-air, Jiang Wan quickly covered her mouth and looked around for something that could help them.

But this is a valley, and there's nothing around except rocks.

Even though there is some grass.

It doesn't serve as a buffer either.

Fortunately, they were still about 10 meters above the ground at that point, so even if they fell, it wouldn't be too bad.

At most, you'll get a minor injury, maybe a broken bone or something.

At this time.

Xiao Dong rushed over from behind, holding a roll of rope in his hand, and shouted:

"I took the rope from the car to see if I could use it."

Jiang Wan exclaimed with delight when she saw the rope, "It can be used! It can be used! Hurry up and bring it over!"

Qiao Liancheng also snatched the rope.

Then they tied a knot at one end of the rope and threw it into the air.

The woman Dong Liao was holding had already fainted and knew nothing more.

Dong Liao held a short knife in one hand and Qin Yue in the other.

The knot fell onto him, but he couldn't grab it.

Fortunately, Qiao Liancheng seemed to have anticipated this, and the rope circled in mid-air before wrapping around Dong Liao's arm.

Even so, they still couldn't save themselves.

Qiao Liancheng couldn't get up there, but there was a big tree growing on the cliff face next to him, with rather thick roots.

Qiao Liancheng's idea was to have Dong Liao tie the rope to that tree, so that the tree could act as a buffer and slow down their descent.

Then, just slowly slide down to the ground.

However, with Qin Yue unconscious and Dong Liao's hands insufficient, it was clear that he could not complete such a self-rescue.

Just then, Jiang Wan said, "Find a way to wake Qin Yue up. She must have fainted from fright, but she wasn't injured."

"Just wake her up and let her help you."

Dong Liao remained silent for a moment and called out to Qin Yue in her ear, but Qin Yue kept her eyes closed and refused to wake up.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan hurriedly shouted:

"Do you remember what I said during the rehearsal?"

“You tell her: Your husband has now married someone else, is sleeping in your bed, driving your car, and spending your money to sleep with other women.”

"Can you rest in peace?"

"He won't even visit your grave, nor will he burn you any paper money. Is a man like that worth having?"

Jiang Wan called from below.

Dong Liao repeated himself, but this time his voice was being shouted into Qin Yue's ear.

The voice went straight into her mind and soul, and Qin Yue's body trembled.

Her eyelashes trembled for a moment before she finally opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, a surge of hatred welled up in them when she saw that the man in front of her was not her husband.

She was stunned.

Dong Liao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Now is not the time for you to be daydreaming. We're hanging on a cliff, and we have to save ourselves."

"If you can't save yourself, we'll all die together."

"I came down here to save you, are you trying to kill me?"

Dong Liao's words finally brought Qin Yue's thoughts back to clarity.

Qin Yue slowly turned her head to look around, and when she saw the situation clearly, she took a deep breath and said:

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this. What should I do?"

Dong Liao breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw that she had finally regained consciousness.

It seems there is hope.

He said to Qin Yue, "I can't hold you anymore, you have to hold me. I need to free up one hand to tie the rope."

"You must hold on to me tightly and not let go, or you will fall."

Qin Yue's eyes flickered, and at that moment, a trace of pain flashed across them.

Dong Liao keenly noticed this and hurriedly said, "You're about 10 meters above the ground now. If you fall like this, you might not die, but you'll probably be crippled."

"Think about what your husband will do. Don't forget that the huge insurance payout you signed doesn't cover disability."

“If you die, your husband will get 5,000 million, but if you just become disabled, he won’t get a penny. Do you think he will hate you then?”

Dong Liao's words were undoubtedly hurtful, and they completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in Qin Yue's heart.

She pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to die."

As she spoke, she reached out and hugged Dong Liao's waist.

She wrapped her other arm around his neck, afraid of falling.

Seemingly feeling that this wasn't enough, she simply wrapped both legs around Dong Liao's waist.

The person clung to him like an octopus.

Seeing her like this, Dong Liao breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It seemed the woman had been rescued. He freed one hand to untie the knot that Qiao Liancheng had thrown up, and then went around to the tree next to him.

The other end of the rope was tied to his body, and he slowly sank down, using the cushioning effect of the big tree.

After half an hour of effort.

The two finally landed safely, and when they touched the ground, they burst into tears of joy.

Not only them, but even Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng were covered in cold sweat and felt a wave of fear.

Such a high cliff.

If Jiang Wan and the others hadn't arrived in time, Dong Liao wouldn't have been able to hold on for long; he would have been crippled or dead by then.

When Qin Yue's feet touched the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, plopped down on the ground, and finally lay down on the ground.

Look up at the sky.

Tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

She remembered being on the cliff top.

The things her husband said to her:

"I have never loved you from beginning to end. I only chose to pursue you because you are the young lady of the Green Gang."

"As long as I'm with you, I can get information."

"Now that your father is dead, you ugly woman should die too."

"Only if you die can I truly gain control of the Green Gang. You love me so much, so consider it as fulfilling my wish."

Qin Yue felt as if her heart was being torn apart by these words, and she was completely immersed in grief.

She suddenly began to doubt herself, feeling that she had lived a joke all these years.

Jiang Wan kept a close eye on Qin Yue's condition, afraid that she might do something reckless and try to kill herself again, or that she might resent Dong Liao for saving her.

When she noticed that Qin Yue was not in a good mood, she quickly came over and sat down next to her.

I took her hand and gently ran my fingers along the back of it, which had a calming effect.
