Strongest Guard - C1474 If There Is an Afterlife
C1474 If There Is an Afterlife
Duan Linghsing, who took advantage of the moment when Lee Nanfang and Wolf Fang greeted each other and jumped into the river, thought proudly in her heart as she dived into the water.
However, she couldn’t be blamed for being too proud of herself. Even if Guain and Duan Linghsing weren’t as good as professional divers when they entered the water, the difference wouldn’t be that big.
The reason she jumped into the river before Lee Nanfang wasn’t paying attention was because she could tell that her brother-in-law truly didn’t want her to go with him.
Being afraid of her becoming a burden was secondary, the most important thing was that he was afraid that something would happen to her.
After all, although the name of the Duan Family’s Four Phoenix was well-known, the only person who could take it out was probably Duan Xiang.
As for the other three people of Duan Xiangning’s group, they were all good people who, in order to curry favor with Duan Family, had called the four cousins four phoenixes.
Of course, Duan Linghsing had the highest IQ among the four phoenixes. She had the highest talent and had a good human nature. As long as Elder Duan worked hard to cultivate her, she might become one of the best in the circle of great beauties.
These are secondary.
Most importantly, after Duan Linghsing had jumped into the water, covered in ice, she suddenly thought of something. “Grandfather, why do you insist on making me see Shen Yun with my own eyes? Why did I get that notebook with my own hands?”
Duan Linghsing and Lee Nanfang had left behind Elder Duan’s instructions on their journey. When they were about to leave Duan Family Villa, they held her hand and instructed her solemnly.
At that time, Duan Linghsing didn’t think too much about it.
This was because she felt it was very normal, and she was confident that with the help of her omnipotent brother-in-law, she would be able to overcome all difficulties and successfully complete the mission.
This was also why Lee Nanfang repeatedly told her to stay, and why she insisted on not staying outside.
However, when she jumped into the water and suddenly thought of Elder Duan’s order, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
What was wrong?
Duan Linghsing quickly dived down and soon reached a depth of twenty meters. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the surrounding cold water, but her mind had never been calm before, and her thoughts had never been faster. She then thought of a possibility, “Grandfather, you might want me to die.”
Why did Elder Duan want Duan Linghsing to die?
Just because she saw Lee Nanfang for the first time, she gave him her “first kiss”.
Elder Duan allowed Duan Xiangning and Lee Nanfang to be together, but definitely did not allow Duan Family to have two granddaughters, each serving a man.
That way, to a top family like Duan Family, it would definitely be a humiliation.
Suddenly, Duan Linghsing thought of more things: “If I die here, Lee Nanfang will blame himself for not protecting me properly, and he will carry an extremely heavy burden in his heart, so he can only think of a way to return the Duan Family.
Even after he recovered his memory, it would still be the same.
Not only me, but also Sister Xiangning.
Only then would the effect that the Duan Family desired be better.
It was in the interest of the Duan Family that the Twin Phoenixes, one of the Four Phoenixes, had died in front of Lee Nanfang.
Otherwise, grandpa wouldn’t have needed to send me to accompany brother-in-law, knowing that this place is dangerous and that I’m not able to swim fast enough to deal with the current situation.
Hehe.
“So that’s how it is.”
Duan Linghsing, who had suddenly thought of all these, chuckled in her heart. Her nerves relaxed.
His hands that were raised above his head slowly lowered and unfurled.
She felt as if she were floating on the surface of a sea in the sun, her whole body relaxed — but this was not the sea on holiday, it was rather a complicated place at the bottom of the river, where undercurrents and whirlpools could appear at any moment and drag her into the Ghost Gate of the Hidden Dragon River.
In such a harsh environment, only those who had a death wish would display such attitude.
Duan Linghsing just wanted to die.
Since her grandfather wanted her to die, then she had to die.
Her death would bring unspeakable benefits to the Duan Family.
As for her, she simply did not have any choice, because she was the daughter of Duan Family, born with a heavy burden that she had to accomplish even if she had to pay with her life, for the sake of Duan Family.
There was no choice.
She would also die peacefully — no matter how unwilling she was, how much she missed this world, or how ignorant her love should be.
Actually, with Duan Linghsing’s intellect, she should’ve thought about this a long time ago.
She hadn’t thought that it would be because a lot of things had happened while she was at home. Not only did it leave her with no time to ponder over it, she was instead secretly delighted to be able to go on a mission with her brother-in-law.
For a girl who had just started cultivating, her IQ drop was especially high.
Now she understood. “No wonder Grandfather would kick out Fourth Uncle, Dad, and the others when he holds the core meeting. He doesn’t allow them to participate. Afterwards, he also told us not to reveal our plan because he was afraid my father would see through his intentions and block it. ”
Of course, when Elder Duan called for the meeting, he did not call for anyone. He only said that there must be a core member of Duan Family who accompanied Lee Nanfang throughout the entire process, found Shen Yun, and obtained the notebook.
Now that he thought about it, besides Duan Linghsing, who else could it be?
Duan Chuhuang, the biggest suspect in the military information leak, definitely could not come.
But other than him, who else could possibly have Duan Family s?
Duan Erdai?
Just by looking at his protruding belly, one could tell if he would be able to take the job.
Four and five Duan Family brothers?
Don’t tease me.
Those two brothers of theirs who were normally very close to the Duan Family, if they knew that the situation here was so dangerous, they would definitely wish they could just stuff their heads into their pants.
Other than them, the only other option was the Four Phoenix Duan Family.
Duan Xiangning had been taken away by the military. Duan Xiang, the most capable of breaking his leg, and Duan Ning was a timid man. All in all, only Duan Linghsing could make it onto the stage.
Thus, Duan Linghsing came.
And so, she sank tens of meters underwater, waiting for death.
“Grandfather is really a wise man.”
Duan Linghsing felt the water suddenly start to vibrate, and laughed in her heart: “Although I am a bit ruthless, I can only do this for the sake of the Duan Family’s future. Sigh, unfortunately, I am still a nobody. As long as we don’t use that place, it would be a place to live, right? ”
She did not know why she would suddenly think of this question before the sea began to pour in, and the whirlpool below the Hidden Dragon River began to form rapidly.
Anyway, she did.
Not only did he think about it, he even regretted it.
He regretted that he didn’t sit on Lee Nanfang that morning when he blew on him like a ghost.
Because only by being stung, crying and bleeding could one be considered a real woman.
Her life could only be considered perfect.
“If God had given me another chance, I would have sat on it instead of foolishly boasting for so long. “In any case, from my grandfather’s point of view, there’s no area for that sort of thing.”
As Duan Linghsing was thinking of this, she recklessly opened her arms and hit her head against a rock.
As she was in so much pain, she instinctively opened her mouth and screamed, “Ah!”
Gulp.
The cold and bitter water immediately poured into her mouth.
She was very good at swimming and would not panic at all after being watered. She would only shut her mouth instinctively, and her hands and feet would also start moving.
But after a few moves, she gave up.
Since she had already decided to die according to her grandfather’s arrangements, why would she struggle with her life on the line when death came?
Surrounded by the will to die, Duan Linghsing suddenly opened her mouth and screamed with all her might, “Lee Nanfang, I love you! In the next life, I want to be your woman! ”
She was screaming underwater for tens of meters. No matter how loud the sound was, it couldn’t be heard from more than three meters away.
Moreover, as she shouted these words, she had already spat out all the air in her lungs.
Even if Duan Linghsing didn’t want to die, she would have lost the chance to float to the surface after spitting out the air.
Because she dived too deep.
The water flowed back into the river, and when it suddenly accelerated, it crashed into a rock that protruded from the shore. When it quickly bounced back, it had already formed a whirlpool.
Whirlpool was like a tornado. Whenever it encountered an environment, it would become bigger and bigger, eventually forming a force that humans could not contend against.
What’s more, Duan Linghsing didn’t intend to contend against him?
Duan Linghsing was like a leaf that was being blown down by the cold wind, rolling along with it towards the darker, colder, and deeper parts of the world.
“If there is an afterlife, I will definitely be your woman.”
This was the last thought that flashed through Duan Linghsing’s mind when her head slammed heavily into a rock.
After that, it was pitch black.
Before dawn, the sky was always especially dark.
It was at this time that Duan Xiangning came to the Hidden Dragon River.
She was also riding on a handsome horse, coming from the dense forest in the C-8 region.
The person who came to help her was also the person who came to help Lee Nanfang and Liu Qing.
Unlike Duan Linghsing, Duan Xiangning learned to ride a horse because she had been a young lady in Jiangbei for a few years.
Although the horse riding skill was average, at least he wouldn’t be tied to the horse’s back like Duan Linghsing. At most, he would just tightly hug the horse’s neck as he recited the riding techniques in his heart, with his buttocks sticking out as much as possible.
Accompanying Duan Xiangning were two sturdy young men who did not say a single word along the way.
Duan Xiangning felt that these two young men should be the two people in active service with Supreme Security Office.
Only those who were in the highest echelons of the army would show indifference in front of the security of the nation when they logged off.
Duan Xiangning was not mistaken. These two were indeed the highest in active service. Jinghong Ming had sent them to protect her safety.
Duan Xiangning had to come here.
Because she was the “instigator” of the Duan Family news, when Duan Chuhuang couldn’t come, she represented Duan Family to meet up with Lee Nanfang and the others, and it could be said that she made a meritorious deed.
It was Elder Duan’s arrangement.
Wang Yulin, the leader of this special investigation team, did not say much.
However, after being silent for a long time, Jinghong Ming said that he sent someone to escort Duan Xiangning here.
Wang Yulin didn’t think too much into it at that time. Since Director-general Jinghong took the initiative to help, if he didn’t agree, then he would be too embarrassed to do so.
Along the way, although the two of them didn’t say a word to Duan Xiangning and remained cold, she could clearly feel a sense of security from them.
Especially when she galloped in the middle of the line and many ferocious beasts appeared and tried to attack her, the two of them would immediately stick close to her and take out their shiny sabers from the back of the horses, waving them left and right to scare off the ferocious beasts.
Despite her knowledge of horse riding, Duan Xiangning still felt pain in her legs when she dismounted and walked out of the jungle.
“They should be here.”
Lead Party pointed to the big rock that Lee Nanfang sat on before, and said to Duan Xiangning.
“Yes.”
Just as Duan Xiangning nodded her head, Lead Party suddenly picked up her phone: “Sorry, I have to pick up a call.”
She didn’t pay much attention to it. After waving her hand, she slowly walked toward the river.
The two of them who were in charge of protecting her exchanged glances with each other. Just as they were about to give chase, Lead Party suddenly asked: “Which one of you is going to receive our boss’s call?”
