章節 357: The Chase

"Li Zhe! What you want doesn't matter. Just do it!" Meng Yu growled, his face twisted in a scowl.

However, Meng Yu softened when he caught sight of Li Zhe's bloodshot eyes. "Li Zhe, please. Do this for me, okay? You don't want me to die here, do you?"

Li Zhe's breath rattled in his chest. Meng Yu had hit his weak spot.

Seeing his words affecting Li Zhe, Meng Yu continued, "Director Li, go and get help. Not all hope is lost; there's still a chance we'll make it out alright. And so will Guan Lei. If you do nothing, we'll all die."

Li Zhe stared at Meng Yu and nodded, despite his unwillingness to leave him alone. "I'll go. Promise me you'll stay safe. Don't make me drag your ghost out of hell for a good beating if you don't keep your promise."

"I promise," Meng Yu said.

No sooner had he replied than Meng Yu jumped out of their hiding spot, leading their pursuers in the opposite direction. The distraction allowed Li Zhe to escape unnoticed.
