Chapter 296 Am I about to die?

Inside the tent

Sweating profusely, Jiang Yun uttered mumbled incoherently.

Li Jiayuan kept wiping his sweat with a towel, his eyes looking increasingly heavy and tired.

The night passed.

Jiang Yun was still unconscious and had started to have a fever. He changed her dressing again halfway through.

The heavy rain hasn't stopped yet.

"Laifu and the others probably couldn't find our location because of the heavy rain."

The night had passed, and he wasn't sure if any pursuers would come after him.

After careful consideration, Li Jiayuan decided to take the risk. Jiang Yun's condition could not be delayed any longer and she needed to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.

He came to the coast alone during the heavy rain.

The tide had already risen. He took off his wet and sticky clothes, jumped into the sea, swam about ten meters, released the boat from the space, anchored, and quickly swam back to shore.

Fortunately, his swimming skills were already at their maximum; otherwise, with those waves and strong winds, he might not have been able to swim back.

After getting ashore, he set up a bell trap along the path leading to the tent. The trap involved dropping lines between the trees, and all that was needed was for someone to control the leverage point of the bell to ensure it wouldn't be triggered by the wind.

As long as someone passes by and touches the line, the bell will ring, and he will be alerted immediately.

If you're lucky, it'll be your own people coming; if you're unlucky, it'll be the enemy, and then you'll have no choice but to fight.

On land, he still has a significant advantage.

Back in the tent, Jiang Yun was already awake, her face extremely pale. She stared intently at Li Jiayuan, seemingly wanting to say something, but too weak to speak.

Jiang Yun wasn't unable to speak, she just didn't want to. Her mind was in turmoil; she was trying to figure out who wanted to kill her.

She had already begun to suspect something, but this person disappointed her greatly.

"Can you still talk?"

Li Jiayuan knew that Jiang Yun's injuries might not be enough to make it through, so he no longer had the sharp edge he had shown before. Instead, he relaxed and talked to Jiang Yun in a peaceful manner.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how the other party was able to kidnap Jiang Yun without making a sound, given the scale of this charity bet.

The two shots he fired from below the ship must have been heard by the surrounding frigates, but they didn't react at all, and those men were doing it openly.

He was carrying Jiang Yun downstairs with a flashlight on. How could he not have been bribed?

The organizers were the Li family and international organizations, so it's possible that they could bribe the protected ships under these circumstances.

All Li Jiayuan could say was, "Hehe."

If something like this happens again, I'll never go again, even if you kill me. Damn it, there's absolutely no guarantee of safety.

If he's unlucky, he could become the next Jiang Yun.

The atmosphere inside the tent was somewhat silent.

"The tent. Where did it come from?"

Jiang Yun knew from the fact that she wasn't at the hospital that they were probably still in danger.

"This is a deserted island. I found these in an abandoned lookout post. Once the storm has passed, I'll take you to the hospital."

Li Jiayuan couldn't bear to tell Jiang Yun the truth. Could he tell her that her injuries were severe and that she might not make it through?

But Jiang Yun wasn't so easily fooled; she gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"You don't need to lie to me anymore. I know my situation. I'm dying, right?"

Li Jiayuan didn't dare look Jiang Yun in the eye. He kept his head down, concentrating on cleaning his pistol. But when he heard Jiang Yun say that she was about to die, his lips still trembled slightly.

"We won't die. I have people and a boat. They'll be here to pick us up soon. We'll be fine after tonight."

Jiang Yun's pale smile seemed strained.

"You don't need to lie to me. With such a big storm, even if we have a GPS, we won't be able to find the location in a short time."

“I know my own situation.” Li Jiayuan was momentarily speechless. Well, sometimes being too smart isn’t a good thing for a woman.

He wondered if Huang Lei would have the same keen sensitivity as Jiang Yun. He thought it was probably not the case, since the two of them grew up in different environments and naturally had different knowledge.

Jiang Yun is a true woman of the martial arts world; she's certainly not an expert at this kind of thing, but it's definitely not the first time she's experienced it. If it were Huang Lei, well, she might have noticed it too.

After all, his wife isn't stupid either; she's highly educated.

Li Jiayuan put down his gun and sat down next to Jiang Yun.

"Don't overthink it, you'll be fine."

This kind of pale and powerless comfort is often the most despairing.

"Can you help me up?"

"Your injury is better suited to rest."

"I'm going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter."

At this moment, Jiang Yun frowned and sighed, a stark contrast to her usual radiant and arrogant self, which seemed to be the complete opposite of her usual personality. It was quite a novel sight.

Li Jiayuan helped her up. Since the tent had no support points, he could only let her lean against him, making it look as if he was holding Jiang Yun in his arms.

Jiang Yun found a comfortable spot in Li Jiayuan's arms and nestled there. Her posture made Li Jiayuan feel that she was enjoying the last moments of her life.

As an observer, Li Jiayuan's feelings were also complicated. On the one hand, she knew Jiang Yun and they were on good terms, and Jiang Yun had helped her a lot. On the other hand, she watched her slowly walk towards the end of her life.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Even if it's a complete stranger, if he were to witness the entire process of someone's death, he would still feel sorrow.

The passing of life is like the sorrowful grass that grows from the mountaintop.

Do you know who did it?

Li Jiayuan asked
If Jiang Yun dies, he wants to avenge her; then their acquaintance won't be considered a real relationship.

But Jiang Yun's focus was clearly not on that.

"Are you always this gentle with your wife?"

Jiang Yun was now thinking of Huang Lei, the woman she hated the most.

Because Li Jiayuan is too gentle now, showing a side of himself that he has never shown to her before, and that woman always gets to enjoy such treatment, which is really annoying.

Jiang Yun looked down at the rings on her hands.

What an annoying ring! I wish I could cut off this finger too, but unfortunately, she doesn't have the chance. She's probably going to die on this island.

"If you really are that unlucky to die, I will avenge you."

Jiang Yun no longer cared about revenge. She never imagined that woman could be so ruthless. Last time she only suspected, but now she was certain that she was the murderer.

I wonder if my older brother will be kept in the dark and be completely clueless.

"The person who killed me was my sister-in-law. Remember to remind my brother that woman is no good."

This news was quite explosive, and Li Jiayuan was stunned for a moment.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Yun turned her head slightly, and a soft touch pressed against him.

Li Jiayuan instinctively wanted to push her away, but then he thought of Jiang Yun's injuries, and more importantly, he thought that Jiang Yun was dying.

Okay, go ahead and kiss me. I'll let you take advantage of me since you're about to die.

Three minutes later, Jiang Yun breathed in fresh air, her chest heaving, her eyes shimmering. In the dim light, their two heads were separated.

Li Jiayuan smiled.

"Your skills are terrible."

Yes, Jiang Yun can't kiss, not even as well as Ruan Mei.
