Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Tang Doudou and A Peng sat in a teahouse facing the river. Neither the gurgling river nor the secluded woods on the other side seemed to be able to resolve their depression. A Peng first broke the silence, and what he said was not without difficulty: "We have all made a decision, and we have decided to continue the competition..." A Peng tentatively said here, looked up to check the expression on the other side, and he continued in a short while: "Also That is to say, we don't want to give up the title of provincial champion, we still have to go to Beijing as originally planned to participate in the national finals. This is what we all

A common opportunity we don't want to pass up. " Tang Doudou turned her head and looked at the small river under her feet. She didn't know what to say at this time. A Peng urged again: "Doudou, you continue to dance with us! We are really the best combination..." Pan Yulong, Jin Zhiai and the tour guide arrived at Penghe, got off the plane and boarded a tourist car waiting at the gate.The station wagon started and drove towards the Penghe tourist area. At this time, the three mysterious men who arrived on the same plane also walked out of the airport gate, got into a car that came to pick up the station, followed behind the station wagon, and drove away from the airport unhurriedly.

Jin Zhiai and Pan Yulong sat side by side in the back seat.The scenery outside the window was picturesque. Jin Zhiai turned her head and was about to say something to Pan Yulong when she caught a glimpse of the white wristband on Pan Yulong's hand. The blood-colored orchid on the wristband made her curious. "what is this?" Pan Yulong replied: "This is a wristband." Jin Zhiai pointed to the orchid again and asked, "What kind of flower is this?" "orchid." "Orchids? I like orchids! Is this what girls wear?" "Oh, this can be worn by both men and women. It is used to protect the wrist. If the wrist is injured, you can use it to protect it."

Jin Zhiai was a little surprised and asked, "Did your wrist hurt?" She seemed to have forgotten that she had thrown Pan Yulong's hand on the drink cart not long ago. The station wagon traveled through the green mountains and green waters, and finally drove into the Penghe Resort.The resort is composed of houses with individual doors and courtyards, and the garden is spacious and pleasing to the eye. The three mysterious men also rented a room in a guest room building of the resort. By opening the window of the room, they could have a clear view of the courtyard where Jin Zhiai lived.

In the room rented by the stalker, the curtains were tightly covered, and a high-powered telescope was set up behind the curtains, and the extended lens was peeking at Jin Zhiai's residence. From the binoculars, it can be seen that Jin Zhiai is changing clothes in the bedroom. She has already changed into her bathrobe and walked into the shower room. A group of four including Jin Zhiai, Pan Yulong, tour guide and local escort entered the virgin forest near the resort.Jin Zhiai walked ahead excitedly, and Pan Yulong, the tour guide, and the ground escort followed behind. The clear air in the forest made people feel refreshed.They walked all the way, and there were few tourists around. Pan Yulong looked back by chance and found two sneaky men following behind him far away.One of them seems to be the person who met yesterday on the battery car.Pan Yulong lowered his head in thought, and when he looked back, the man had already disappeared without a trace.

Pan Yulong thought for a while, then said to Jin Zhiai: "Miss Jin, let's go." Jin Zhiai responded excitedly, and ran happily into the depths of the dense forest, while turning her head and shouting loudly: "Pan! Hurry up..." The tour guide and the ground companion looked at each other, and they all saw that the guest had a special affection for her personal butler.And Pan Yulong looked left and right when he followed, as if he was still looking for the two probing figures. Everyone took the sightseeing cable car up to the top of the mountain. Looking at this virgin forest from the cable car, it is another spectacular scene of forest sea and waves.Pan Yulong took a cable car with Jin Zhiai, followed by the tour guide and local escort.Along the way, Jin Zhiai kept pointing to the distance and telling Pan Yulong how she felt. Pan Yulong nodded and shook his head, trying to deal with it as much as possible.

After everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, Pan Yulong and Jin Zhiai stood side by side by the railing of the viewing platform, pointing out the mountains and talking relaxedly.The widening of vision made Jin Zhiai's heart suddenly open, while Pan Yulong's voice and smile seemed to be just doing his duty. Two cadres of Shengyuan Yinhai Company took a vice president of Shengyuan Group out of the airport, got into the car waiting at the gate of the airport, and drove to the city.The vice president of the group was busy with travel and dust, and he met and talked with Huang Wanjun as soon as he arrived at Yinhai Company.

The vice president said: "According to the study of the company's president's office meeting, the group company has decided to appoint you another important task. Yinhai Company will be replaced by Manager Qu from the group's project department, and the letter of appointment has been issued this morning." From the expression on Huang Wanjun's face, it is not difficult to see that he knows that he has fallen out of favor. A few days later, Huang Wanjun made an appointment with Tang Doudou in a bar. Tang Doudou walked across to Huang Wanjun and sat down.After saying hello, the two started talking in a low voice.

Huang Wanjun asked, "Do you know your father?" "Understood, he is a very talented poet. It is a pity that his talent has not been appreciated all his life." "I mean your real father!" Tang Doudou paused for a moment and said, "I don't want to know, he has nothing to do with my life." "The will is fake!" Huang Wanjun interrupted her resolutely. Tang Doudou was stunned, "Fake? How do you know the will is fake? What evidence do you have?" "I don't have proof, but I know that the will must be fake!" In the morning, Pan Yulong was setting the breakfast table in the restaurant, and Jin Zhiai suddenly appeared at the door of the restaurant. She was wearing tight denim and a rolled-up beanie hat on her head.She deliberately pressed down the brim of the hat, put on a cool pose, and asked Pan Yulong, "Pan! What do you think of this hat?" Pan Yulong looked up and said casually, "Ah, not bad." Then he continued to bury his head in the work at hand.

Jin Zhiai seemed to be dissatisfied with Pan Yulong's absent-mindedness, and muttered indistinctly: "I didn't even look at it..." Then turned around and walked back to the bedroom in disappointment, threw the cowboy hat on the bed, walked to the wardrobe, Continue to choose clothes. Pan Yulong was pouring milk into a cup when Jin Zhiai's voice came from behind him, "Pan! Look at this!". Pan Yulong looked up and saw Jin Zhiai wearing hip-hop shorts and shorts, with a ball cap askew on his head, and asked with a smile, "Is it better to wear short pants or long pants?"

Pan Yulong looked at it and replied: "It's all okay, it's all fine." After speaking, he continued to pour milk. Jin Zhiai curled her lips, walked away embarrassingly, and went back to the closet to choose clothes.This time she put on a set of popular local long skirts that she bought in the market yesterday. Although the skirts were tacky but still bright, it had a special charm on Jin Zhiai. After Jin Zhiai changed into her long skirt, she shouted loudly: "Pan! Pan! Come here!" Pan Yulong thought something had happened, and hurried to the door of the bedroom.Jin Zhiai showed Pan Yulong the long skirt and asked, "Does it look good?" Pan Yulong heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "It looks good." Jin Zhiai was overjoyed when she received the affirmation, and immediately made a decision: "Okay! I will wear this to go rafting today." But Pan Yulong said, "Wouldn't it be convenient to go rafting in a skirt?" Jin Zhiai seemed to care about Pan Yulong's every opinion, and immediately said: "It's inconvenient, isn't it? Then change it!" She walked to the front of the closet and was about to take off the long skirt. Pan Yulong turned to go out, and Jin Zhiai called him back again. : "Hey, don't go, you can help me look at this." Pan Yulong said, "Ah, I'll come in after you change." "No, just turn around." Jin Zhiai had already started to take off her long skirt. Pan Yulong turned his back, listened to Jin Zhi'ai's rustling change of clothes, and patiently explained: "Miss Jin, I hope you will think about it again, we should not go rafting. Let me ask again, the water flow of the Peng River It's very urgent, there are canyons on both sides, and there are many hidden reefs, in case something happens accidentally, who do you think will be responsible..." Under Jin Zhiai's insistence, Pan Yulong had no choice but to walk out of the courtyard with the tour guide and local companions, and boarded the battery car waiting for them at the door.Sitting closely behind Pan Yulong, he said to him comfortingly, "Don't worry, you'll be safe. Besides, there is a lifeguard on each raft. If something goes wrong, there will be a lifeguard, a lifeguard." It's all... Cough! No problem!" The tour guide and ground companion had already sat down on the raft, and Pan Yulong helped Jin Zhiai put on the life jacket before helping her onto the raft.Jin Zhiai insisted on sitting at the head of the raft, and Pan Yulong had to sit behind her. Just as he sat down on the inflatable raft, he suddenly found that two men who had followed them had also boarded the raft. Sitting in the back row with drooping eyebrows, his sneaky eyes shot at the raft from time to time through the scattered heads. Pan Yulong whispered, "Someone is following us!" Jin Zhiai was startled: "Who! Where is it?" She wanted to turn around as she spoke, but Pan Yulong quickly pressed her shoulders: "Don't look back! The last row." The river water gradually became turbulent, and the speed of the raft suddenly accelerated, turning around a river bank in undulating waves, and rushing towards the vortex in the middle reaches.Jin Zhiai clung to the thick rope tightly, never caring about the scenery on both sides of the river. A taxi stopped in front of Wancheng Hotel, and Tang Doudou got out of the car.She walked into the hotel lobby, came to the duty desk of the lobby manager, and said something to the lobby manager. The lobby manager asked her to wait a moment, and then made a call.Soon, Yang Yue came to the lobby, walked to the lobby manager's desk, met and shook hands with Tang Doudou, and then Yang Yue led Tang Doudou to the teahouse. Tang Doudou and Yang Yue sat down in a corner of the teahouse by the window, and they chatted peacefully. Yang Yue asked: "I heard from Yulong that you are his neighbor?" Tang Doudou replied: "Yes, he lives next door to me." After a pause, he added: "This matter has caused you trouble." "It's okay! Yulong is my best friend, I will do my best for whatever he asks me to do!" When Yang Yue said the words "Yulong is my best friend", Tang Doudou's eyes seemed to be puzzled for a moment, she didn't realize that she was silent for a while, and then she returned to normal and said, "Oh, thank you !" Jin Zhiai nervously grasped the thick rope tied to the side of the boat with both hands.The exclamation on the boat seemed far away from her, and her nervousness had nothing to do with the danger.The lines of her face were so rigid that it was impossible to read her inner expression. The raft had rushed out of the canyon at this time, and was advancing rapidly downstream with its head held high.On the right side of the raft, a small river beach suddenly appeared, which seemed to be a gap in the cliff on the bank. Pan Yulong felt one arm being pulled by Jin Zhiai, and Jin Zhiai's roar was heard in his ears: "We Go ashore!" Before Pan Yulong could react, the seat in front was already empty.Yulong subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull her, but she didn't hold back, but the mobile phone fell into the river. The ground escort and the tourists on the raft all screamed, and the tour guide's face turned pale with fright.The boatmen and lifeguards hadn't recovered yet, and Pan Yulong had already jumped into the rapids. The people on the raft saw in horror that Pan Yulong and Jin Zhi'ai were rushed to the huge rock on the shore by the surge, and the body of the lifeguard was also ups and downs in the water. further away. Pan Yulong popped his head out of the water, cut forward through the waves, and finally caught Jin Zhi'ai who was struggling in the rough waves. He held her body, and together they drifted towards the shore with the current. An undercurrent pushed them towards a huge rock, Pan Yulong used his body to protect Jin Zhiai, and the two hit the rock together.Pan Yulong clasped tightly on the raised edge of the rock with one hand, and held Jin Zhiai tightly in his arms with the other hand. The two persisted in the rapids and tried to climb up the rock wall. Pan Yulong finally supported Jin Zhi'ai and let her climb up this giant rock. Jin Zhi'ai accidentally broke the thin rope of snow jade around her neck while she was climbing for the last time. The two of them watched the snow-white jade stone helplessly , fell straight into the water, and they even saw the snow jade sinking rapidly in the clear river water. Jin Zhiai stretched out her hand subconsciously, trying to grab Xueyu, but Xueyu sank to the bottom of the river without hesitation.Jin Zhiai's exclamation quickly turned into crying.Pan Yulong re-jumped from the rock wall into the wave crest almost at the same time as she cried out, and sank quickly.Jin Zhiai's crying was choked by surprise, she saw Pan Yulong being rushed away by the rushing water.When Pan Yulong emerged from the water and reached out to grab a dead vine hanging from the rock wall, he was already far away from the shore. Jin Zhiai screamed, "Pan! Pan!" Her cry became hoarse and weak, she lowered her head and cried, spitting out broken Intermittent English words, "Pan, Pan, you come back...I want you back..." Panting for breath, Pan Yulong finally let go of the withered vines, swam against the current, and returned to the bottom of the huge rock.Of the river banks that can be seen as far as the eye can see, only this huge rock stretching out into the river can be climbed ashore. Jin Zhiai pulled and pulled, and Pan Yulong struggled to climb.He finally climbed the boulder and lay on the wet rock, seemingly unconscious.
