When he was not confronting Li Zhonghao, Diao Zhuo seemed much more normal. After He Xing parked the car by the roadside, Diao Zhuo picked up the suitcase on the seat and prepared to push the door open to get out. “I’ll go to the crater to collect samples. It’ll take at most an hour. If it’s too late, you don’t have to wait for me. You can just return directly.”
Du Yue was surprised to hear this from Diao Zhuo.
After Diao Zhuo finished speaking, he did not delay any longer. He opened the car door and walked out. His back view was very free and easy, which was very different from the domineering and arrogant image he had displayed in front of everyone.
The car door closed. The temperature of the air-conditioning in the car had been adjusted to the lowest, but it was useless. The longer they were in the car, the higher the temperature around them, and the harder it was to breathe. Even so, no one dared to take off their protective gear and mask. Even if they took them off, it would not cool them down by much. Moreover, the cooling effect was only temporary. If they inhaled the volcanic ash, the damage would be continuous.
They were all people who had experienced extreme heat. Although this temperature was a little uncomfortable, it would pass after enduring it for a little while more. At this moment, Li Zhonghao was the one who could not endure it the most. He slumped on the chair, breathing heavily like a drowning fish. Even though he was out of breath, he did not forget to say, “All of you… Are you sure you want to wait for him here?”
No one responded. Everyone was staring at him, but no one had the intention to answer. Li Zhonghao coughed violently a few times. The sweat on his cheeks kept dripping down, and his face became paler and paler. “It’s only been less than ten minutes, and the car is already so hot. If we wait any longer, none of us will survive! You have no relationship with him. Do you want to die with him? We should turn around right now and return to the base!”
After witnessing Li Zhonghao’s shamelessness, Du Yue did not find it strange at all to hear him say this. This person could even betray his lover. What else could he not do? Since they could not go anywhere and she was bored, Du Yue was willing to talk to him.
“Do you think the Diao family will let us go if we leave him here alone?”
Although Du Yue did not know how powerful the Diao family was, Diao Zhuo could easily make Li Zhonghao the captain of the guards. She knew that his background could not be underestimated.
“What?” A twisted smile appeared on Li Zhonghao’s face. “As long as we have the same story, it’ll be fine. Can’t we just say that we waited for him for a long time but didn’t see him? No matter how capable the Diao family is, they have no reason to make things difficult for us. After all, Diao Zhuo got out of the car himself. No one forced him to.”
No wonder Li Zhonghao dared to make such a proposal. It turned out that he had already thought of a way out. He waited for a while, but Du Yue still did not say anything. He could not help but feel a little anxious.
“What Diao Zhuo said just now was all a lie! He relies on his family’s power and influence to do evil. Even if I didn’t agree at that time, he would’ve definitely used an even more vicious method to snatch Meng Meng away from me! I thought that since the final outcome couldn’t be changed, it would be better to agree to hand Meng Meng to him directly. It would also save her from having to suffer with me. At that time, 1 didn’t have the ability to give her a good life. But 1 didn’t expect that he wouldn’t cherish Meng Meng. After Meng Meng went to his side, she never smiled again. I was worried that she’d take things too hard, so I tried to contact her a few times…” Li Zhonghao even shed a few tears.
However, in Du Yue’s eyes, these tears were just crocodile tears. Whether it was Diao Zhuo or Li Zhonghao, Du Yue could only come to one conclusion. Neither of them was a good person. As for Meng Meng, she was an innocent victim.
Du Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Although what you said makes sense, there are still people who disagree.”
“Who disagrees?”
Du Yue raised her chin toward the car door. Li Zhonghao tried to turn his head around. As the temperature was too high, his sweat had already covered his vision. At this moment, he could not see anything. He reached out and randomly touched his face a few times. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Diao Zhuo had returned at some point in time. He was standing at the car door and staring at him. Even the car window was rolled down halfway.
Just by looking at Diao Zhuo’s gloomy face, he knew that Diao Zhuo must have heard every word he said. In an instant, Li Zhonghao’s face lost all color and his body shook. He was really afraid. Diao Zhuo could not help but sneer when she saw Li Zhonghao trembling. He strode into the car.. “Let’s go!”
