Chapter 124: The Perfect Method
He saw that the sign at the very top had a phone number on it.
Xie Jingyan tried calling it.
Unexpectedly, he actually got through.
It was very noisy on the other end, and the person who answered had a loud voice: “Who is it so late at night? I’m drinking. If you have something, say it tomorrow.”
Xie Jingyan blinked lightly, his voice cold: “No can do. I’m about to hang myself right now at the entrance of your scenic area. Sure you don’t want to come take a look?”
The other side: “??? Big brother, are you joking? It’s the middle of the night, don’t scare people, okay?”
“I’m giving you ten minutes. If you don’t come in ten minutes, I’ll hang myself at the entrance of your Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area, and no one will live.”
The other side: “…”
After Xie Jingyan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Hmm…
Mission completed.
It was estimated that it wouldn’t even take ten minutes for people from the scenic area to arrive.
Xie Jingyan returned to the car again.
The cold wind was blowing outside, but it was still warm inside the car.
He didn’t disturb Jiang Ning, but quietly observed her.
From her full forehead to her curled eyelashes, eyes like black gems, petite nose, and rosy lips.
He didn’t know why.
As soon as he saw her lips, Xie Jingyan wanted to kiss them.
Xie Jingyan could only attribute all this to the fact that a youth’s curiosity toward the opposite sex was still too strong.
Seven minutes passed.
The sound of vehicles came from behind.
Accompanied by “wail wail wail”.
Jiang Ning pressed a button, and Jiang Yan’s location was successfully pinpointed.
She then turned to look at Xie Jingyan: “Did you call the police?”
Xie Jingyan’s pale chin was tucked into the collar of his trench coat, pulled up to the top.
His slightly drooping black hair fell at his brow tips, making him look fluffy with a sense of being very pettable.
He glanced at her sideways and denied faintly: “No, it should be someone from the scenic area who reported it.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She didn’t ask him to provoke the police too!
“What’s going on!”
“That’s not important. Just say if people from the scenic area have come or not. The cable car should be able to operate now.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
6.
As expected of the male lead.
This efficiency in doing things was fast.
Panicked voices came from behind: “Police Comrade, hurry up, don’t let him really die in the scenic area. We still have to do business here! Damn it, I’ve seen people quietly commit suicide, but never someone who notifies in advance. My alcohol sobered up from the fright.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She stiffly turned her head and saw Xie Jingyan tucking half his face into his own clothes, and he had also put on his hat.
What an absolutely brilliant method…
The two got out of the car, and in no time they were surrounded.
The leading police asked: “Who made the call?”
Xie Jingyan silently raised his hand: “Me.”
“You want to commit suicide?”
Xie Jingyan shook his head: “No, but someone really is about to die on the mountain.”
“My friend has pinpointed his location. We need to turn on the cable car immediately for rescue.”
Xie Jingyan pointed at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning then showed the red dot on the locator to the police.
“He’s on this wild path, and right next to it is the cable car specially set up by the scenic area, which can be manually started. We can go up from here and rescue the person.”
The scenic area person in charge had just heard there was no suicide and hadn’t caught his breath when their words scared him so much he almost sat down on the ground.
“Then what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and save the person. Come with me.”
The police were a bit suspicious until they heard the sound of the ambulance from behind.
Their expressions turned solemn: “Time is of the essence.”
It looked like it was a real situation.
The group arrived at the specially set up cable car spot.
The scenic area person in charge chattered in front: “Every year there are many people who love night climbing, especially those tourists seeking thrills and novelty by taking the reverse traverse route to the mountain top. Some with bad luck might get lost on the reverse traverse route. Plus, the weather changes quickly. People who don’t bring enough gear often suffer hypothermia and die on the mountain—it’s all too common. To deal with this situation, we went to great lengths to set up a cable car point on the reverse traverse route. If tourists on this route encounter danger, they can manually control this cable car to come down.”
“But it takes some time for me to bring the cable car down.”
After the scenic area person in charge finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, the cable car on this line stopped right in front of them.
He blinked in disbelief: “No, that’s not right. How is this cable car here! It can’t move without someone controlling it.”
He looked suspiciously at Jiang Ning: “Did that friend of yours who was going to die already come down?”
Jiang Ning glanced at him and said slowly: “That’s not a friend, it’s my younger brother, my own brother. He’s still on the mountain, hasn’t left. The red dot hasn’t changed. The ones who controlled the cable car to come down are another group of people.”
The scenic area person in charge was slightly stunned, then looked at the cable car stuck here without moving, and after a moment said: “After this cable car comes down, it automatically goes back up. If the cable car was controlled by someone to come down, then why is this cable car stuck here?”
Jiang Ning also really wanted to know.
Why this cable car was stuck here.
Had this original plot gone this far just to make Jiang Yan die?
And Su Wanyuan, after coming down, really didn’t think at all about Jiang Yan who was still on the mountain?
The scenic area person in charge hurriedly got on and then called to Jiang Ning and the police: “Everyone get on. This cable car can carry five people. We absolutely must not have an accident.”
Jiang Ning silently got on, and Xie Jingyan followed behind her with an unreadable emotion.
The scenic area person in charge, plus two police, and Jiang Ning and Xie Jingyan, exactly five people.
Jiang Ning checked the time.
It was almost one o’clock already.
A person suffering hypothermia on the mountain could die in just tens of minutes.
Jiang Ning only hoped that Jiang Yan could hold on. She had really come at the fastest speed.
The cable car passed through the dark valley, swaying in the lightning and thunder, making creepy creaking sounds.
Xie Jingyan sat quietly to the side. Jiang Ning leaned close to him, her voice spreading in this enclosed space: “Xie Jingyan, do you think this cable car might suddenly break or stop midway?”
The scenic area person in charge: “???”
He pleaded repeatedly: “Grandmother, don’t scare people, okay? The valley is so cold at night. If we’re stuck midway in the air without warming tools, it will be deadly.”
Then it wouldn’t just be one body on the mountain.
Plus they’d have to add five more here. If word got out tomorrow, who would dare climb Phoenix Mountain? It was truly outrageous.
Xie Jingyan lightly knocked on the cable car wall, making a heavy thud.
He smiled faintly at Jiang Ning: “No, this thing is very sturdy.”
As soon as he spoke, the originally swaying cable car became steady.
At least it no longer made one’s heart race, but moved forward steadily.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but look at Xie Jingyan one more time.
She felt fortunate in her heart that she had brought him along.
If she were suddenly annihilated for violating the setting, the accident might happen on the mountain, or on the way for Jiang Ning to rescue Jiang Yan. But as long as she stayed by Xie Jingyan’s side, she was safe, because this world wouldn’t collapse without the male lead, which was why there were players like them coming in to repair the plot.
Ning Ning Baby is super smart!
Started fleecing Old Xie, haha.
