Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 1041 - 1042: Hanging by a Thread (Part 5)

He quickly turned around again, returning to the car. With the shaking stones, he seemed to be adept and calm.

He reached out to grab Ji Anning’s hand, "Anning, try to crawl out through the window."

To encourage Ji Anning, he tried his best to remain calm, "Don’t be afraid."

Ji Anning listened to Ji Chicheng’s words, attempting to stand up.

"Ah..."

The car suddenly shook violently and slid down a large section, scaring Ji Anning into screaming.

Her hand instinctively tightened around Ji Chicheng’s hand, her nails digging into the flesh of his palm.

Several large stones followed and fell.

Ji Chicheng reached his other hand behind Ji Anning, patting her back to soothe her emotions, "Calm down, Anning, calm down a bit."

His voice, like a sedative, quickly calmed Ji Anning down. She raised her head, her small face pale, with large beads of sweat trickling down her temples.

Her bright eyes, glistening with tears, looked at Ji Chicheng, shaking her head.

Ji Chicheng frowned, "What’s wrong?"

"My leg..." Ji Anning shook her head, crying, "My right leg seems to be broken, it’s too painful to move."

"Boom!"

"Uncle, be careful."

Suddenly, a large stone fell behind Ji Chicheng, landing on the big stone he was standing on, causing it to tilt. Ji Chicheng almost got thrown off by inertia.

He struggled to stand steady.

Ji Anning looked up, her eyes wide with horror.

The pile of stones was all being held back by a huge stone wedged between several sturdy trees. If that big stone fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And one of the trees was already half broken; it looked like just a bit more external pressure could break it...

"Anning."

Ji Chicheng was racing against time, continuously coaxing Ji Anning, "Just climb up a little bit more, and I can carry you out."

As he spoke, he tried to pull Ji Anning out.

But he hadn’t moved much when the car started sliding down.

He quickly stopped, not daring to move recklessly.

"Uncle, you go quickly, I’ll crawl out myself." Ji Anning analyzed the danger, realized it, and quickly pushed Ji Chicheng away, "You leave, get on the helicopter first, I’ll crawl out myself."

She was intent on shaking off Ji Chicheng’s hand, but Ji Chicheng kept holding onto her.

Ji Chicheng realized Ji Anning wanted him to stay away from danger, becoming stern, "I’m pulling you."

He warned Ji Anning with his actions; if she didn’t crawl out herself, he would do it himself.

The car shook again, with small stones continuously sliding down beside them, each making Ji Anning anxious and fearful.

She couldn’t take it anymore, couldn’t take the stimulus, shouting at Ji Chicheng, "You go quickly."

"Ji Anning, don’t think you can push me away and take such a risk alone."

Ji Chicheng’s face turned cold, forcibly pulling Ji Anning out.

The car shook violently, finally breaking free from the grip of the two trees and sliding down fiercely.

"Ah..."

In the nick of time, Ji Chicheng grabbed Ji Anning’s hand, pulling her out of the car, which slid down the slope.

Ji Anning lay on a stone below, looking up at the man who had pulled her. The man lay on the stone, and they exchanged a glance, sharing a smile.

"Mrs. Su, please move a bit to the side."

Assistant Wu had descended the soft ladder again, directing Mrs. Su below to find the best position to rescue Ji Anning.
