A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2365 - 1589: An Eye for an Eye

The rain poured down, and the wind howled.

When Duanmu Huai arrived near the Heichuan Family residence, he encountered MEM, who was also there searching for Hei Chuan Chi Yin.

"Ah, Xiao Ai, you’re here. Have you seen Chi Yin?"

"No, did you call her? She left her phone at home, can’t reach her at all. I asked her mother and heard she might have headed towards the convenience store on this road. We’d better go look for her. Honestly, the weather’s awful now; I have a bad feeling..."

The two exchanged a few words and then Duanmu Huai began searching forward along the road with MEM. It wasn’t an easy task. With the raging wind and rain outside, there were hardly any people visible. The sky was so dark it felt like night, and even the street lights looked dim and faint.

"Ah!"

As they reached near the overpass, MEM suddenly cried out in alarm and grabbed Duanmu Huai, pointing towards the overpass.

"Look over there, isn’t that Chi Yin?"

"Hmm?"

Duanmu Huai looked in the direction MEM was pointing, and saw a person standing on the railing of the overpass, swaying unsteadily. Below was the roaring traffic and highway. It didn’t look like something a normal person would do.

"I... I need to go check!"

Just as MEM was about to run up the overpass, they saw the figure lean forward and plummet down!

"Waaaaaah—————!"

Watching this scene, MEM screamed in shock. At the same moment, a gust of wind rushed past her ear. Duanmu Huai suddenly accelerated, stepped on the roof of a speeding car, and then leaped towards the falling figure!

In a split second, like a shooting arrow, Duanmu Huai caught the falling figure. They then continued forward, soaring over the entire lane before "thud" crashing into the opposite wall, halting their momentum.

"Wow...... that was close."

Duanmu Huai sat up, looking at the girl he held in his arms. Hei Chuan Chi Yin seemed dazed, staring blankly at Duanmu Huai, apparently unaware of what had happened — this was only natural. For someone set on suicide, such a dramatic turn of events was likely outside of her expectations.

But anyway, she was saved.

Afterwards, MEM and the police rushed over, taking Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin to the hospital, with Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s mother arriving shortly, only then did Chi Yin show emotions typical of her age group.

"Waaaaah, Mom———!"

"Phew......"

Listening to the cries from the hospital room, Duanmu Huai shook his head, stretched lazily, and walked away.

"After all, just a little girl."

"Phew...... back then, my heart nearly leaped out."

MEM, still pale and shaken.

"Xiao Ai, are you really alright?"

"Didn’t the doctor check? I’m healthy as can be."

"You say that, but that scene earlier... I’ve never seen anything so daring, even in movies. I can’t believe you actually jumped."

"Maybe unimaginable for you, but not impossible for me."

Duanmu Huai stretched, and just then, the hospital room door opened, with Hei Chuan Chi Yin, accompanied by her mother, emerged, bowing deeply to Duanmu Huai and MEM.

"I’m really sorry for worrying you all."

"As long as you’re alright."

Duanmu Huai waved it off, while MEM let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew...... you had me terrified back then; without Xiao Ai, I can’t imagine what might’ve happened..."

"Really, thank you so much."

Nearby, Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s mother, eyes brimming with tears, also bowed deeply to Duanmu Huai.

"I sensed something off with her, but I never imagined she was bearing such burdens... Thinking I almost lost my daughter... I’m really grateful!"

"Chi Yin—————!"

Just then, from the end of the hallway, several actors from "Present Love", including Yukiyuki Washimi, came running over. At the forefront was Yukiyuki, with a worried expression, rushing to Chi Yin, she thrusted out her hand, slapping her hard, then pulled her into a tight hug.

"You idiot! Why do such a thing! When I heard you were taken to the hospital, I was worried sick! Honestly, why didn’t you talk to me!"

"I’m sorry......"

Watching the two cry in each other’s arms, Duanmu Huai shook his head, then turned and left. He exited the hospital, picked up his phone, and made a call.

"You’ve heard, right? I bet it’s spread online by now. Timing’s just right, make your move."

With that, Duanmu Huai coldly issued the order.

Following Duanmu Huai’s words, a stormy battle unfolded online.

The news of Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s attempted suicide quickly spread across the internet, leaving netizens shocked.

Of course, if it was just that, it might have made entertainment headlines. But another piece of news changed everything — Chi Yin chose to jump from an overpass on the highway, with traffic passing below. Several car dashcams captured the moment Chi Yin appeared on the overpass and was dramatically grabbed by someone who leaped from the side.
