Chapter 27 Badly Hurt by a Woman
"Heh heh, Mr. Qin, you pay the cash, I give my life, you don't owe me anything!"
Qin Yu said with a silly smile, his head raised.
In just the time it took to speak, the muddy floodwaters had already submerged his chest.
"You... are you trying to infuriate me to death?"
Tears welled up in Yan Mingyu's eyes—it was this fool who had given up the only chance of survival to her!
If he really died, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"Mr. Yan... I'm serious, I'm still in debt for hundreds of thousands. When the time comes, please go to Wutong Town for me, say you're my boss and use the relief funds to pay off the rest of my debts. I don't want others to say that I was a deadbeat who didn't pay his debts!"
Qin Yu looked at Yan Mingyu and spoke very earnestly.
"You..."
Yan Mingyu was so angry she felt cramps in her abdomen, biting her silver teeth: "You don't seem like someone who squanders money on food, drink, prostitutes, and gambling, how did you get into this debt?"
"Because of a woman!"
When he mentioned his ex-girlfriend, Qin Yu's expression turned a few shades darker.
"Ha, it's always a woman. I never saw it, but it seems you are quite the romantic!"
Yan Mingyu couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"Hehe, men are fickle, but devoted. Unlike you women, though passionate, are even more heartless!"
Since he was nearly dead anyway, Qin Yu wasn't afraid of offending his beautiful boss and retorted with a cold laugh.
He had spent all his savings on his ex-girlfriend's family and was up to his neck in debt, and then what happened?
She turned around and married a rich man, treating their solemn vows as nothing but hot air, forgotten in an instant.
"Hmph, looks like you've been hurt pretty badly by a woman, haven't you!"
Yan Mingyu said coldly.
"That's because I was foolish!"
Qin Yu said in self-mockery.
"Crack...."
Just then, the crooked tree shook again, as if it might snap at any moment.

"Mr. Yan, let go. You don't really want to die with me, do you?"
Qin Yu knew that with the onslaught of the flash flood, the crooked tree would soon be unable to bear the weight of two people.
"I won't let go!"
Yan Mingyu said through clenched teeth.
"Mr. Yan..."
The voice of Manager Zhou came from above again, as he descended slowly with a safety rope tied around his waist.
The sound of rushing water...
The soil around the crooked tree began to slide downwards.
"Mr. Yan, let go!"
"I won't!"
Yan Mingyu simply reached out her other hand to grab Qin Yu's collar.
"Mr. Yan, let him go quickly, he's just a bodyguard, you'll be dragged down by him!"
Manager Zhou, from his vantage point above, could see more clearly—the crooked tree was slowly shifting downwards.
"A bodyguard is also a human being, why should my life be more valuable than his?"
Yan Mingyu still held on to Qin Yu tightly.
"Mr. Yan, don't do this, I might fall in love with you!"
The feeling in Qin Yu's heart was indescribable at that moment. He had never imagined that a billionaire boss, so high and mighty, would value a lowly employee like him so much.
Putting her own life in danger, she kept pulling at him and wouldn't let go.
"Alright, Qin Yu, I'll give you a chance. If you've got what it takes to win me over, I'll give you my company!"
Yan Mingyu said provocatively, trying to spur Qin Yu's will to survive.
"Hehe...."
Qin Yu of course knew that Yan Mingyu was joking.
He was just a bodyguard, how could he possibly be a match for someone like Yan Mingyu, a real-life princess?
"You...."
Yan Mingyu never thought that in just a few hours, she would have so much pent-up frustration.
Thank goodness, water has buoyancy, or with her slight build, she definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on to a big man like Qin Yu.
The sound of splashing water...
The crooked tree continued to slide down.
"Mr. Yan, I am truly grateful to have met a good boss like you. Remember, my hometown is in Wutong Town, Phoenix Village...."
Determination flashed in Qin Yu's eyes as he forcefully pried Yan Mingyu's fingers open.
"You dare...."
Yan Mingyu's face changed.
"Mr. Yan, catch the rope!"
At this critical moment, Manager Zhou threw down the rope he had brought from above.
After catching it, without a second thought, Yan Mingyu wrapped it around Qin Yu's wrist.
Splash....
Finally, the crooked tree couldn't withstand the onslaught of the flash flood and tumbled entirely into the torrent.
Qin Yu, with his quick reflexes, grabbed Yan Mingyu's arm.
"Heh, now, the pressure is on Manager Zhou!"
Qin Yu said with a wry smile.
Yan Mingyu wasn't heavy to begin with, and in the water, he could have pulled her along all night without a problem, it just depended on whether Manager Zhou had the strength to pull them both up.
"You... laugh my ass off!"
Yan Mingyu rolled her eyes.
In her heart, she was silently lamenting: My goddess image, in front of this guy, is utterly gone!
"Manager Zhou, Mr. Yan...."
At this time, two more male employees, each with a rope tied around their waist, slid down.
With the combined effort of the three, Qin Yu and Yan Mingyu were pulled up from the water.
Then with the people above pulling on the rope, they were finally rescued from the bottom of the valley safely and without mishap.
"Mr. Yan, here, put on this coat!"
Manager Zhou smartly took off his own jacket and handed it to Yan Mingyu.
"I remember there is a small county town not far ahead, take me and Qin Yu to the hospital first. Also, buy two new phones!"
After putting on the jacket, Yan Mingyu thought for a moment and said.
"Okay!"
Manager Zhou nodded, and said to his subordinates, "This time, you two drive ahead!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a convoy of cars slowly drove out of the mountain depression, and beyond the descent was a county town.
It was much more prosperous than Anning Town.
Yan Mingyu and Qin Yu were taken to the county hospital for a comprehensive examination.
Once it was confirmed there were no serious issues, they were each settled in the best wards with IV drips to replenish their nutrition and energy.
The next day.
Manager Zhou brought Qin Yu a phone and new clothes, rubbing his hands and said sheepishly, "Mr. Qin, about last night, I was worried about Mr. Yan's safety, and what I said... don't take it to heart, okay!"
"What? I had water in my ears at that time, I didn't hear anything, what did you say?"
Qin Yu purposely asked with a confused look.
"Heh, nothing, nothing...."
Manager Zhou waved his hand, relieved in his heart.
Back then, he had blurted out for Yan Mingyu to let go of Qin Yu in a moment of desperation.
Fortunately, he hadn't heard, otherwise if he held a grudge and said a few bad words about himself to Yan Mingyu, his days as manager would probably be numbered.
"Well, you rest up, I'll go check on Mr. Yan!"
Manager Zhou closed the door and left the ward.
Three days later....
Qin Yu and Yan Mingyu had essentially recovered, and had Manager Zhou handle their discharge procedures.
After finding a large hotel where they ate and drank their fill, Manager Zhou drove Yan Mingyu and Qin Yu all the way back to Four Seas Corporation before hurriedly returning to the Da Meng mountains.
"Take the afternoon off!"
Yan Mingyu, preparing to work in the office and not planning to go out, decided to deal with the backlog of work and spoke to Qin Yu.
"Then... thank you, Mr. Yan!"
Qin Yu was still thinking about the divorce he had promised the lawyer and his wife.
After walking out of the company's main entrance, he took the initiative to send a message to the other party: I'm free this afternoon, where shall we meet?
