CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 40

The island has a complex topography, with flat plains and steep peaks. It is said that the island was formed due to a combination of crustal movement and undersea volcanic eruption, but Huo Jun is not a geographer, so he can’t verify this claim, nor does he have the heart to do so.
He only knows that climbing this mountain is about to kill him.
The speed of the pursuers behind him is very fast, and the two of them have just staggered out of the completely deformed car, and the roar of the engine has already arrived in front of them. He hurriedly tugged Ye Ling to run towards the mountain, while running, also pay attention to hide the trail, so as not to be discovered. At this time the sky has been completely dark, the wind in the mountains and forests whimpering, people can not help but feel cold at the bottom of the heart. Two people do not dare to open the lighting, can only feel the darkness deep a foot shallow a foot forward.
“Why go up the mountain?” Ye Ling steps into a mud pit, and his whole body is in a sorry state. Huo Zhun turns around to pull him back, but he waves his hand and steadies himself.
In the darkness, Ye Ling’s eyes gleam. Before Huo Jun could answer, he then asked, “What’s on the mountain?”
As soon as this question was asked, Huo Jun knew that this question had been in Ye Ling’s heart for a while.
That’s why he didn’t ask the moment he climbed out of the car, and he didn’t ask when the two of them were covered in mud, until now, he couldn’t figure it out without asking.
To be honest, Huo Jun has long felt that Ye Ling’s habit of putting things in his heart is not very good, but the two of them will have plenty of time later, and it’s not too late to correct them slowly. So he clears his throat and says, “There might be a rescue.”
“Possible?” Ye Ling keenly caught the key in this sentence and followed, “Who did you notify? When was it notified?”
“When the car was first started.” Huo Zhun said, “The signal shielding weakened as soon as I left the hotel’s range. My cell phone is installed with a distress help function that can connect to the security team with a single click, so I pulled down the help button just as soon as we left the hotel. The cell phone comes with a positioning device that can track us all the way to our exact location. By the way, the ones who developed this feature are the ones who helped me with my private game, the ones you always thought had a pit in their brains and didn’t think twice about it.”
It was a good thing that the surroundings were not bright, the slightly embarrassed expression on Ye Ling’s face was concealed.
“Then why is it possible?” Ye Ling asked again.
Huo Zhun didn’t say anything.
In the silence, his originally calm expression cracked a little, and the corners of his mouth lifted up twice very unnaturally, then he pulled out his cell phone from his pocket.
“Because right now, the phone is broken.”
Ye Ling lowered his head, and through the line of moonlight coming through between the branches of the trees above his head, he got a good look at the cell phone lying quietly in Huo Zhun’s palm.
The palm-sized object was in pieces, its edges broken into crumbs.
“It was probably crushed when it just hit the tree.” Huo Zhun said.
So yes, there might be a rescue.
Because the cell phone positioning signal ends at the bottom of the mountain, if they are stranded at the bottom of the mountain, they are sitting ducks, and by venturing up the mountain, they might be able to circle Rong Sheng’s people for a little longer, delaying the arrival of help.
It all depended on whether Huo Zhun’s security team had the brains to know to look up the mountain.
“I think they definitely have that IQ,” Huo Jun clenches his fists, confidently, “after all, I don’t use everything-”
“the ” word was just halfway through his sentence when a bullet suddenly broke through the wind and hit against his ear.
Although it missed, both men’s breathing was stifled, and they coincidentally crouched down and slowed their breathing. Two or three seconds later, a starburst of bright light appeared behind them, the glow of a watch-style flashlight.
“Got it?”
Behind the clutter of points of light, only a question was heard.
No one answered.
“Strange, I clearly heard someone ……” The man paused, “Go check it out.”
Immediately after, a shaking point of light ran towards Huo Zhun and Ye Ling.
In the darkness, Ye Ling intuited that his palm was gently pinched by someone, as if suggesting something.
However, before Ye Ling can react, in the next second, Huo Jun leaps up noiselessly, using the cover of the darkness to take a step to the side of that running person, and deadens that person’s mouth.
In the darkness, that person only felt that the back of his head was pressed against the muzzle of a black hole.
“Do as I say,” Huo Zhun restrained him from behind and whispered in a low voice, “or else I will absolutely kill you before they kill me.”
The man doesn’t answer, as if feigning composure, but the slightly trembling column of light from the flashlight in his hand betrays his heart.
“Well?” Not far away, the voice asked, “Is there a situation?”
Huo Jun’s muzzle was gently sent forward.
The man was instantly flabbergasted, whispering back, “No …… no.”
“What?” The voice was so small that the other man didn’t even hear it, “Louder! Didn’t fucking eat enough?”
“No!” The man was on the verge of tears, howling at the top of his voice, “There’s nothing here, everything’s safe!”
“Fuck.” There was a low curse in the distance, and then the flashlight’s point of light began to move as a whole.
One, two, three ……
Huo Zhun restrained the person in his hand with one hand while silently counting the distance the other party was approaching in his mind. When he and Ye Ling climbed out of the car, they didn’t go up the mountain from the place closest to the car, but deliberately circled around farther, choosing a road that was less likely to be discovered. However what they thought of, Rong Sheng must have thought of as well. So as they traveled through the mountains and forests and dodged searches all around, they also found that the people Rong Sheng had sent out were divided into countless groups, each group consisting of five or six people, each responsible for a piece of area, traveling in a straight line, and reporting upwards to the head at regular intervals.
This search method avoided repeated searches and was extremely efficient, but it also had a fatal drawback, that is, the manpower was too dispersed, and once a group was attacked, the rest of the groups were unable to quickly reinforce them. However, as Ye Ling had said, Rong Sheng didn’t put Huo Jun in his eyes at all, so probably in his mind, Huo Jun didn’t even have the ability to handle five or six people at once.
Especially since the other party had a gun in their hands.
Open play happy it, Huo Zhun every time I think of it all hate teeth itchy, old man on the ground to clean up your six bodyguards are like a game, not to mention that now this kind of you in the clear I am in the dark time.
In the darkness, only to hear the sound of the wind, Huo Zhun a gun butt smashed stunned in the hands of the scum. At the same time, he threw his gun into Ye Ling’s arms, stepped forward, and threw a punch at the man at the front. He found out early, the front of this person is the leader, knock him down, behind the group of people without a master, good to do.
The lead only heard the wind whistling, not yet had time to react first received a punch. But he can be the leader, in the end, a bit of ability, the second fist swung over when he deflected his head, flashed, not only flashed, but also back to the hand back. Huo Zhun was lucky not to be hit by him, but not to guard against the gun in his hand, “snapped” and pulled the trigger.
This is really a big hang-up, if not in the heat of the moment did not aim to hit, this moment Huo Jun should see the king of hell. Even so, President Huo still feels insulted by his own careful eyes. Only to see his left knee, the man’s right wrist suffered a heavy blow, the gun immediately flew out. At the same time, Ye Ling behind him leapt out and tightly held the gun in his hand.
The scene was in chaos, the flashlight light was everywhere, in the confusion, someone pulled out the gun, before pulling the trigger, was Ye Ling flying up and kicked away.At the same time Ye Ling threw the gun that Huo Zhun had just thrown to himself far away, and while the gun smashed down another person, he shouted:
“Got the gun, go!”
The moment Huo Jun leapt out, he guessed what Huo Jun was playing at. This you chase me search war without a gun to defend themselves is absolutely not, they earlier seized over that had long finished the bullets, the reason why they did not lose, is to be similar to this moment, when the short combat can let the other side have a scruple. I did not expect Huo Zhun also dared to take it to the top of the people, but also bluffed people, but also really powerful.
Ye Ling raised his foot and kicked away a person who tried to pounce over to grab him, and while he was fully concentrated, he could not help but feel a small trace of sadness.
Years ago, when he was assisting Rong Sheng, his security team was so watertight, but now it was so useless.
If Lie Wei is still alive, if the security team is still under his control ……
Thinking of this, Ye Ling hurriedly braked to stop. Rong Sheng is self-destructive, he does not bother that brain cells for his pity. In front of him, Huo Jun chiseled that scum who had no respect for himself and blasted him with a gun to the ground, finally relieving his anger. Turning around, he solved the danger behind Ye Ling with a flying kick and dragged him up the hill.
Their side of the battle made a bit of a big mess, a few groups close to hear the commotion, all coincidentally rushed over here. The two of them were as fast as flying, the wind in the mountains and forests swept by their side, scraping their cheeks raw and painful. Even so, there were still more and more pursuers behind them. In the heat of the moment, Ye Ling returned with two shots, followed by taking advantage of the moment the other party was briefly suppressed by the sound of gunfire to pull Huo Zhun to the right.
“This way!”
The group that was originally searching on the right side was lured over by their movement, which directly led to the right side being unoccupied and temporarily safe. The two shots that Ye Ling had released had confused the other party, causing them to still think that they were still in their original direction, so the two’s temporary change of direction wasn’t immediately noticed.
But while running, they were forced to stop.
Originally also called quiet mountain forest gradually more and more people’s voices, these people’s voices mixed with footsteps, from all directions ringing, listen carefully, actually is getting closer and closer.
What’s going on?
Ye Ling and Huo Jun exchanged a puzzled look.
How could there be so many people all of a sudden?
The next second, reality gave them the answer.
“Ningning, after running around for so long, have you had enough fun?”
It was Rong Sheng!
Rong Sheng had come in person!
“Ningning, don’t hide, this mountain is just this big, you’ll be found by me sooner or later.”
“Come out, I don’t want to hurt you. If you walk out on your own, I can forget everything that happened before.”
“Ning, don’t challenge my patience, you don’t want me to resort to violence either.”
“From now on, Ning, I’ll give you five minutes to walk out on your own, or else – I might not hurt you, but I can’t guarantee that the people around you will make it back alive.”
Che, what a lot of nonsense.
Huo Zhun contemptuously licked the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at Ye Ling, “There’s a problem.”
Ye Ling’s body shook as she looked at him with a complicated gaze, revealing a not-so-smooth smile, “What?”
“The name on your ID card, is it Ye Ling now?” Huo Zhun asked.
Ye Ling froze for a moment and nodded, “Yes, it was changed a long time ago, many years ago.”
“Rong Sheng doesn’t know?” Huo Zhun asked again.
“Know …… about it, right?” Ye Ling was unsure.
“It’s okay, let’s go back this time and formally send an email to tell him, and by the way, attach a copy of the front and back of your ID card.” Huo Zhun took the gun from Ye Ling’s hand, flicked his wrist, “Kala” sound, loaded the gun.
Is he going to break out by force?
Ye Ling listened to this dry and crisp sound, and even from the heart surged a heavy feeling that he could not bear.
Rong Sheng was a man of his word, and most of the time, what he did was more absolute than what he said.
So he said five minutes, is five minutes, five minutes later, Ye Ling does not walk out, Rong Sheng even do have to burn the mountain this kind of thing.
By that time, he himself might get out safely, but what about Huo Jun?
Once again, Ye Ling’s smiling face of Cheng Liewei appeared in his mind.
That man had also been so defiant in helping himself, even going so far as to drive towards Rong Sheng in order to get himself out of trouble. Ye Ling later heard about Cheng Liewei’s tragic state before he died. His face was full of blood, his body was tightly clamped between the steering wheel and the seat, he couldn’t move, he kept cursing Rong Sheng before he died, until finally, he died of exhaustion, his body was lying on the steering wheel, and he didn’t close his eyes until he died.
And Rong Sheng stood beside him from the beginning to the end, witnessing his entire death with cold eyes.
This scenario became his lingering nightmare for many years after Ye Ling’s escape, and whenever he was awakened by the nightmare, he would hold Ye Rui and confess over and over again.
It was me who caused Ye Rui to suffer, if it wasn’t because of me, he would definitely be able to live well now.
Today, old events resurfaced, Ye Ling only felt incapable of bearing the same guilt and pain again.
No, just thinking about the possibility of this, his heart was already like a knife, losing any ability to think.
Cheng Liewei is no longer around, he can still raise his son for him and live a strong life, if Huo Zhun is no longer around ……
an intense fear that he has never felt before took over Ye Ling’s heart in an instant, he looked at Huo Zhun’s couldn’t-care-less look and suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed him tightly.
“Huo Jun, stop!” Ye Ling’s voice changed tone.
Huo Jun raises his eyebrows in puzzlement.
“Let me go, Rong Sheng won’t hurt you, it’s me he wants.”Ye Ling shuddered, “If I go out, he will ……”
“Ye Ling, are you alright?” Huo Zhun suddenly interrupts him.
He turned around and looked straight into Ye Ling’s eyes, and after a moment, as if he suddenly understood what Ye Ling was thinking, he smiled extremely slowly, “You want to sacrifice yourself to save me?”
Ye Ling didn’t say anything, but the attitude was obvious.
“Even if you go out, Rong Sheng won’t let me go.” Huo Zhun coldly said, “Instead, he will not have to throw his weight around because you are not by my side, following that, he will directly call for someone to randomly shoot me to death.”
Ye Ling’s complexion changed drastically, but Huo Jun didn’t give him a chance to speak.
“I have spoiled Rong Sheng’s good deed several times, Rong Sheng hates me to the bone and has long wanted to get rid of me. Can’t you hear that he just mouthed that he won’t hurt you, but didn’t mention half a word that he will let me go?” Huo Zhun gently patted Ye Ling’s shoulder and laughed, “This kind of verbal trap, put the usual you must have found out long ago, but now well …… I understand, care is chaos. But don’t be stupid again, even if you take the initiative to go over will not help, besides, you just don’t believe in my ability?”
He lowered his voice, will be that day in the elevator, that as if unintentional, but contains a solemn promise once again repeated side: “I said, I can bring you safely over, will be the same can bring you safely back, you are not believe me?”
Ye Ling looked at him deeply, and after a long time, slowly nodded, “I believe in you.”
Huo Zhun smiles, in the dimness, Ye Ling’s eyes are as brilliant as stars, his hand is resting on his shoulder, suddenly he wants to move a little up and touch his eyes.
Although the words were spoken with conviction, Huo Jun did not have a bottom in his heart.
Positioning is bad, the rescuers can’t detect their position, and surrounded by Rong Sheng’s people, waiting for them, in addition to the road behind them that leads to the top of the mountain, there is no half a choice.
And how can they run to the top of the mountain?
The rescuers were not there, there was no way to retreat and there were pursuers in front of them, or there was only one possibility of being caught.
At that time, Ye Ling might still be alive, but he is certain to die.
Poor Huo Xiaoming, that little devil, he lost his mom at a young age and will soon lose his dad.
Thinking of the only baby son, Huo Jun s heart rarely swept through a trace of guilt.
But still …… no regrets.
Do not regret that moment out of the conference room, decided to apologize to Ye Ling; do not regret later to take him, all the way to run away up the mountain; moreover, do not regret this moment, to stop his stupidity, would rather gamble his life, but also to protect him to the end.
So even if the road to the top of the mountain is a dead end, so what, they decided, they have to go to the end. Besides, this way, isn’t there Ye Ling as a companion?
Even if he stayed for one more minute, let himself accompany him until the last moment!
“Ye Ling,” in the silence, Huo Zhun’s voice with a smile drifts to Ye Ling’s ears, “Actually, Rong Sheng hates me, there is a more important reason.”
“What?” Ye Ling asked.
“He thinks that the two of us are having an affair, and that you ignore him and don’t want to go with him because you like me.” Huo Jun laughed.
Ye Ling didn’t respond, but Huo Jun knew that he was looking at himself.
“So instead of taking on this false name, I might as well-” Huo Jun fiercely pressed down on the back of Ye Ling’s head and pressed him towards him, “just sit on it!”
He deeply, heavily, kissed Ye Ling’s lips!
