Chapter 269 — Jumping Together: Xiao Ma Had Meant to Fake a Phone Call to Turn Down Gu Mengyao, but Changed His Mind When He Heard Shen Yushu Ask Wei Zhao to Jump With Her

This man looked like yet another thorn in the boss's side. If he could be finished off this time, all this staging would not have gone to waste. With that thought, Xiao Ma did not dare decide on his own and dialed Zhang Yuzhou's number.

"Brother Yuzhou, there's been a hitch!" Xiao Ma said in a lowered voice.

"Oh? What now?" Zhang Yuzhou's heart tightened. Surely the plan had not failed again?

"Gu Mengyao was all set to bungee jump, she even had the cord on, but then she got cold feet and does not dare jump..." Xiao Ma said in a low voice.

"She won't jump?" Zhang Yuzhou frowned. "If she really won't, don't force it. Don't risk the big plan for a small gain!"

"No, Brother Yuzhou, the problem now is that Shen Yushu is going to jump, and with the cord we tampered with. What do you think..." Before Xiao Ma could finish, Zhang Yuzhou cut him off.

"Best leave that Shen Yushu alone. Touching her will easily cause big trouble!" Although Zhang Yuzhou did not know what background Shen Yushu had, he had heard that even the man behind Brother Cihua was wary of her, so she was clearly not someone to provoke lightly.

"She wants to jump together with that Wei Zhao. I think this is a chance..." Xiao Ma said.

"Wei Zhao jumping with her? Hold on..." Zhang Yuzhou was tempted, but he could not decide on his own. He had to discuss it with Jin Maosheng. Setting the phone aside for a moment, Zhang Yuzhou repeated Xiao Ma's words to Jin Maosheng.

Jin Maosheng hesitated briefly, then gritted his teeth. "Do it! No cruelty, no hero. Let him do it. If Shen Yushu dies there will be trouble, but dying in an accident inside Gu Pengzhan's amusement park, with the ties between the Chen family and the Gu family, they won't pursue it to the end. At most they will push out a scapegoat! But once Wei Zhao is dead, it will be much easier to move against Gu Mengyao next time!"

Zhang Yuzhou nodded and passed Jin Maosheng's decision on to Xiao Ma. With approval from both bosses, Xiao Ma naturally would no longer stop Shen Yushu from jumping, and instead guided her, binding her and Wei Zhao together with the cord...

"Phew... finally tied up... but Brother Arrow, this cord is tied too tight, I can hardly breathe..." Shen Yushu took a deep breath.

Feeling the softness of Shen Yushu's chest, Wei Zhao's heart fluttered, and his body reacted on its own before he could stop it. After all, no matter how dangerous and heart-stopping his past had been, Wei Zhao was still only an eighteen-year-old boy. Tied so close to a girl, he could hardly help being moved...

Especially when she was pretty, with a very fine figure... and Wei Zhao was not without feelings for her, at least he liked her a good deal... so a reaction was only natural.

Wei Zhao felt a little awkward and was about to explain when he heard Shen Yushu say, "Brother Arrow, what's that? It's poking me to death?"

"Uh..." Wei Zhao froze. Looking at Shen Yushu's utterly innocent face, there was really no way to explain...

"What's wrong?" Shen Yushu saw Wei Zhao freeze and felt puzzled, but the next moment she understood... Shen Yushu was no ignorant girl, she had taken physiology class, so after a brief blank she realized the cause. Her face flushed slightly, she shifted awkwardly and threatened in a low voice, "Brother Arrow, are you having unhealthy thoughts?"

It would have been better if Shen Yushu had stayed still. With that shift, Wei Zhao's reaction only grew stronger, and her words were like a fuse. Was that a threat? Why did it sound like coquetry...

But Wei Zhao's self-control was strong. After only an instant of distraction, he returned to normal, for he knew Shen Yushu always talked like that. It was not seduction or anything of the sort, and flirting with her best friend right in front of his young lady, was that not asking for death?

Glancing at Gu Mengyao beside them, he saw her face had indeed darkened. Wei Zhao quickly turned away with an innocent look, yet the cord around his waist left him no room to move. A cord meant for one now bound two, so naturally there was hardly any space.

Reminding himself that he was on a mission, Wei Zhao forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart and did nothing further, and the physical reaction gradually subsided to normal.

A mission was a mission. On this point Wei Zhao was very clear. Never get emotionally entangled with an employer. That was a grave taboo in the trade! Back then with Xiao Ning...

At that thought, Wei Zhao's mood grew heavy again. Even with Shen Yushu in his arms, Wei Zhao no longer felt the earlier *** and racing heart...

This last mission, he hoped he could complete it smoothly. Then he would be free at last, no longer bound by the rules of the trade.

"Ready?" Xiao Ma had no time to watch Wei Zhao and Shen Yushu flirt. He wanted to finish the two of them off quickly and go back to report.

"Ready, can we jump now?" With Wei Zhao beside her, Shen Yushu was not as frightened as before. Looking down past the cliff, she grabbed Wei Zhao's arm. "Brother Arrow, you have to hold me tight in a bit, but no taking advantage!"

"Heh... all right." Wei Zhao nodded. Even if Shen Yushu had not said so, he would have done the same, for the jade pendant's warning had sounded again. There was definitely something wrong with this cord!

Why had Uncle Qing not come yet? Wei Zhao did not want to alert the enemy, but neither did he want to just jump like this. Once they jumped and the cord snapped, it would give Gu Pengzhan a pretext to clean house in the company, but plunging into the sea would be no pleasant experience.

Of course, Xiao Ma did not think Wei Zhao and Shen Yushu could survive a fall into the sea. Bound together by the cord, they would be unable to swim at all. Dropped into the rushing seawater with no one to rescue them, would that not be waiting for death?

"Ready to jump?" Xiao Ma said, "I'll count one, two, three, then you two jump together..."

"Wait a moment." Wei Zhao raised a hand, cutting Xiao Ma off.

"Is there something else..." Xiao Ma frowned, annoyed.

Wei Zhao ignored him, took Shen Yushu along, and walked straight over to Gu Mengyao.

Gu Mengyao did not know what Wei Zhao wanted, coming back so suddenly. But his roguish behavior toward Xiaoshu just now had upset her. This lecher, fooling around outside was one thing, but to lay hands on her own best friend, that was more than Gu Mengyao could bear. If they had not been in public, she would have cursed Wei Zhao out on the spot.
