Chapter 23 The Car Out of Control
"No... it's nothing!"
Qin Yu slurred his words.
Although he was going to be completely drunk tonight, he felt it was worth it, after all, he had helped his beautiful boss solve such a thorny problem.
"Then sit for a while...."
Yan Mingyu supported Qin Yu as he took a seat on a stool. Then she personally peeled two peaches for him and handed them to him to help him recover.
If someone familiar with Yan Mingyu were here, their jaw would definitely drop.
Normally, if a man got within three steps of her, she would repel him, turning her face away.
It would be even less likely for her to take care of a man like a little woman.
"Young man, how do you feel, okay? Once you drink this shared cup of liquor, we will truly be friends!"
The goateed old man looked at Qin Yu and asked.
"Can... can drink!"
Having already taken ninety-nine steps, Qin Yu was definitely not going to falter on the last one.
According to the customs of Li family village, the host offers the guest a bowl of liquor, and then the guest reciprocates. Both drink at the same time to show sincerity.
"Alright, let the people of Li family village raise their drinks together!"
The goateed old man and Qin Yu exchanged bowls of liquor and then raised them high.
"Drink!"
When dozens of people drank together, the scene was quite impressive.
"Gululu...."
Qin Yu braced himself and downed another gulp.
"Take it slow...."
Yan Mingyu was rather touched, even unable to understand why Qin Yu, her bodyguard, was pushing himself so hard!
Could it be just for the tens of thousands in monthly salary she was paying him?
Or was it simply his nature?
Generous, righteous, putting the company's affairs first?
Yan Mingyu glanced sideways, feeling that she couldn't quite see through the man beside her.
Logically speaking, a man like him shouldn't be one to "betray" his wife, right?
But then, what was that scene she had witnessed in the music square about?
Yan Mingyu's mind was somewhat in disarray.
"Grandpa, Ah Hui from our home just called, saying that he has been promoted by the company. The boss made it clear, since we gave face to Four Seas Corporation, he had to give face to the children of Li family village too!"
"Right right, my daughter also called, saying the school issued a special scholarship. Now, we don't have to worry about the university tuition anymore!"
"Four Seas Corporation is really good, we almost believed those rumors!"
A group of villagers who had received calls from their children expressed their emotions, their eyes reddening.
"Young lady, you don't have to drink, but I toast to you!"
The goateed old man raised a bowl of liquor toward Yan Mingyu.
"Elder, every child in Li family village is outstanding, I've only done a little insignificant thing!"
Yan Mingyu said modestly.
"Eat up, eat up, our own home-raised pork tastes much better than the supermarket's!"
The villagers cut a piece of already roasted tenderloin and placed it on a plate, passing it to Yan Mingyu.
Of course, Qin Yu had his share too.
With that, the issues of Li family village were finally settled satisfactorily.
As for whether Liu Nanyan had any other moves up his sleeve, that was yet unknown.
It was almost midnight when Yan Mingyu finally helped a dazed Qin Yu leave Li family village.
After stuffing him into the back seat of the car, she let Manager Zhou, who had been waiting for a long time, drive the three of them back to the guesthouse in town.
The next day.
Qin Yu slept until almost ten o'clock before awakening. Though he felt parched and uncomfortable, fortunately, his head didn't hurt.
The liver-cleansing liquor he drank last night was homemade grain alcohol from the villagers of Li family, certainly not comparable to ordinary blended bottled liquors.
After getting up and drinking a big bowl of cool boiled water, he finally began to freshen up.
After taking care of his personal hygiene, he turned on the private number on his cell phone.
For the past few days, it had been "powered off", and he didn't know if anyone had been looking for him.
"Are you there, Mr. Qin?"
"Can you see the messages? Why was your phone off?"
"You need to keep your word, didn't you promise to get a divorce? Where are you?"
"What exactly do you mean? I called you over ten times, but couldn't get through. Playing games like this isn't the solution. Your wife doesn't have any feelings for you; dragging this out and refusing to get divorced is not what a man should do! Everyone's an adult here, a melon forced off its vine is not sweet; don't you understand this basic principle?"
As soon as Qin Yu's private number was turned on, a series of messages popped up.
After reading them carefully, he replied expressionlessly, "Rest assured, my word is my bond. If I agreed to the divorce, then it'll surely happen. It's just that I've been busy these past two days, I'll get in touch with you when I'm free."
Mr. Qin, don't stand me up then!
The other person replied quickly.
I won't.
After replying once more, and since no one else apart from this lawyer had been looking for him, Qin Yu turned off his private number again.
Noon.
Yan Mingyu invited Manager Zhou and the town leaders to lunch, and after the meal, they held a brief meeting on helping the residents of Li Jia Village with their housing construction, instructing Manager Zhou to start implementing it the next day.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yan Mingyu and Qin Yu set off together, planning to return to the city.
On the way, as they passed a hollow in the mountain.
Boom...
With a loud noise, a large boulder rolled down from halfway up the mountain.
"President Yan, hold on tight!"
Qin Yu's face changed, and he slammed on the accelerator, hoping to get past.
However, what he didn't know was that the road ahead was littered with sharp nails.
"Bang bang..."
The front two tires blew out instantly, and the car, like a runaway horse, lost control in an instant, rolling towards the slope at the bottom of the mountain.
"Ahh...."
With everything spinning around, Qin Yu's ears were filled with Yan Mingyu's cries of alarm.
Such a sound coming from the normally composed and unflappable beauty boss indicated just how dangerous the situation was.
Rumble rumble...
After rolling for at least a minute or two, the car finally came to rest upside down.
"President Yan, President Yan..."
Not caring about his own condition, Qin Yu struggled to turn his head to call out to Yan Mingyu, who was trapped in the back seat.
Her hair disheveled and blood on her face, she looked extremely disheveled.
Of course, he himself was not much better off, he was just unaware of it.
"I... I'm okay."
Yan Mingyu, biting down on her silver teeth, managed to say with some difficulty.
Without a doubt, it must have been Liu Nanyan's doing.
Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, yet she had the audacity to employ such an assassin against her own daughter.
"Let's try to find a way out first!"
Qin Yu pulled away the airbag compressing him and forcefully kicked at the car door.
Bang bang...
After several kicks, the car door finally cracked open a bit.
After Qin Yu barely squeezed out, he went to the rear door and, using both hands, pulled with all his might.
Bang...
Finally, he managed to yank the deformed door off, revealing Yan Mingyu, upside down with her legs in the air, trapped in the seat.
"President Yan, I... may need to have physical contact with you to pull you out!"
At this moment, Qin Yu had not forgotten his role, but just a lowly bodyguard to Yan Mingyu.
To pull her from the car, physical contact was inevitable, even requiring him to embrace her.
