Chapter 26 Flash Flood
"Alright!"
Yan Mingyu, flustered, followed closely behind Qin Yu.
The two of them climbed the slope, one step high, one step low.
"Ouch...."
Yan Mingyu, usually traveling in luxury cars, had never walked such a rough mountain road before.
Having walked less than a hundred meters, she stumbled, twisting her ankle.
"Ms. Yan...."
Qin Yu, somewhat speechless, came back and said helplessly, "Let me carry you."
"No need, I can do it!"
Yan Mingyu said stubbornly, not wanting Qin Yu to look down on her.
"Ms. Yan, be obedient!"
Qin Yu glanced back; the fire they had left behind was now extinguished.
It meant the flood was less than a hundred meters away from them.
For the first time, he spoke to Yan Mingyu in a tone that was gentle yet domineering.
"Huh?"
Yan Mingyu was taken aback.
A bodyguard, telling her to "be obedient"?
"Ms. Yan, there's no time!"
Seeing Yan Mingyu staring blankly at him, Qin Yu felt a pang in his heart.
Without caring what Yan Mingyu thought anymore, he shoved the bag of medical supplies into her hands, lifted her up in his arms forcefully, and ran.
Woosh....
The mountain flood, drawing closer and closer, kept making the sound of water rushing over smooth stones.
Feeling Qin Yu's strong arms and steady heartbeat, Yan Mingyu could only close her eyes in both embarrassment and annoyance.
She comforted herself: No one can see us in this wilderness, so what am I afraid of?
Tss....
At that moment, the burning stick in Qin Yu's hand also went out.
The two were completely enveloped in boundless darkness.
We're doomed!
Qin Yu and Yan Mingyu thought at the same time.

"Ms. Yan, your... phone has a charge, right?"
After a brief moment of panic, Qin Yu quickly came to his senses.
"Yes!"
Yan Mingyu said.
"I'll put you down and carry you on my back instead. It's not fast to walk while holding you, and then you can use your phone for light!"
Qin Yu suggested after thinking for a moment.
"Hmm...."
At this moment, Yan Mingyu didn't have the cold and ruthless demeanor she had in the company; she was more like a little girl who obediently listened to her boyfriend.
After taking out her phone and turning on the flashlight, Qin Yu continued forward with her on his back.
Not knowing how deep the valley was, but they had to keep moving.
If they stopped, both of them had only a dead end ahead.
Not sure how long they had walked, Qin Yu was drenched, his body covered in sweat.
His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
"Qin Yu, put me down!"
Yan Mingyu turned to look back; the flood was flowing not too far behind them.
If Qin Yu was alone, he definitely had a chance to survive.
Carrying her, with his strength diminishing, would only slow him down more and more.
"Won't do it; you're my boss, and I'm still hoping you'll give me a raise!"
Qin Yu shook his head.
Through these two days of being together, he felt he could talk to Yan Mingyu much more casually than before.
"If we both die together, what good is money?"
Yan Mingyu said irritably.
Could it be that all men are this stubborn?
She herself hadn't interacted with other men, so on this point, she really couldn't tell.
"Heh, if we're going to die, so be it. Having such a beautiful boss like you to die with me makes my ancestors proud!"
Qin Yu said with a laugh.
"You...."
Yan Mingyu was so irritated she itched to bite him.
Err....
Right then, Yan Mingyu was stunned by her own thought.
How could she, a woman with a "husband," think of "biting" a married man?
Did she also want to be an immoral woman?
Ptui ptui...
Yan Mingyu's face was hot and red, and she even forgot another issue: her body was still tightly pressed against Qin Yu's back.
The mountain path was rough to begin with, and with Qin Yu's steps, the body bumped constantly.
It was like using that thing, to give Qin Yu a massage.
As for whether it was comfortable or not, probably only Qin Yu knew the answer to that question.
"By the way, Qin Yu, can I ask you a question?"
Only when her cheeks were no longer hot did Yan Mingyu suddenly speak up.
"Hmm!"
Qin Yu nodded.
"Do you love your wife?"
Yan Mingyu wanted to test further to see if this man was scum or not!
"Uh... love!"
Qin Yu hesitated before speaking.
Otherwise, how could he answer? To tell his beautiful boss that he didn't love his registered wife at all, because he could hardly remember what she looked like anymore.
That would seem as if he really had ulterior motives, as if he wanted to hit on her.
"Hmph...."
Yan Mingyu couldn't help but let out a cold humph.
Scumbag!
He claimed to love his wife, yet here he was, hugging and cuddling with other women.
"....."
Qin Yu was completely baffled, unable to figure out what the beautiful boss's "humph" meant.
"Eh... is there a signal?"
Fortunately, Yan Mingyu's attention was diverted to her cell phone.
"Great, call Manager Zhou!"
Qin Yu was also invigorated.
"Beep beep... Hello, Manager Zhou, my car had an accident, and I fell into a ravine with Qin Yu. Yes, hurry over with people!"
Yan Mingyu managed to contact Manager Zhou.
"Haha... looks like we weren't meant to die just yet!"
Qin Yu said cheerfully after Yan Mingyu hung up.
"You did well this time; I'll give you a raise when we get back. How much do you want?"
Yan Mingyu asked indifferently.
"Uh...."
The beautiful boss's words sounded somewhat off, didn't they?
Had he offended her at some point?
Thinking this, Qin Yu timidly said, "Thirty thousand is already a lot, no need for a raise!"
"Hmph..."
Yan Mingyu hummed again, convinced the man was insincere.
Boom boom boom....
However, before she had the chance to berate Qin Yu a couple of sentences, a huge noise came from behind again.
The flash flood had obviously become even more fierce!
Even their noses could smell the damp, earthy scent.
What's more tragic is that there was a cliff ahead; under watery conditions, it must have been a waterfall.
But now it had become an abyss beneath their feet, with no wings to grow, who could fly over?
"Boss Yan, we've only got one chance!"
Carrying Yan Mingyu on his back, Qin Yu climbed up to a crooked and withered tree halfway up the slope. it barely had room for one person to squat and was about two meters above the valley floor.
If they were lucky, they might be able to avoid the flash flood.
No sooner than Qin Yu had climbed up with Yan Mingyu, the flash flood snaked past below like a dragon, growing more and more turbulent.
"Boss Yan..."
From above, the faint sound of Manager Zhou and his team could be heard.
And several beams of flashlight shone down.
"We are here!"
Yan Mingyu waved the light from her phone, unsure if the people above could see it.
Crack...
The crooked tree trembled, seemingly unable to bear the weight of two people, about to break.
"Boss Yan, squat steady, I'm going down!"
After speaking, Qin Yu slid down the crooked tree, gripping its roots tightly with his hands.
This way, if it was just Yan Mingyu alone, there would definitely be no problem.
"Qin Yu, be careful!"
The mountain flood reached Qin Yu's abdomen in the blink of an eye, and its level was visibly rising.
"Hehe... Boss Yan, let me ask, how much is the compensation if one dies on the job in our company?"
Qin Yu grinned and asked, feeling that his chances weren't good.
"Not a penny!"
Yan Mingyu reached out to grab Qin Yu's wrist, glaring at him fiercely: "You are not allowed to die; I don't want to owe you anything!"
