Chapter 9 A Desperate Leap Down
Chapter 9: A Leap of Fate
If Mengyu were to jump off the cliff, no one could guarantee that her leap would land on the plant rooted from the cave on the cliffside, where the branches reached out to the pine tree on the cliff, and that the trunk would hold her.
What if she missed the branch by a little and didn't land on it?
What if she landed in the pine needles instead of on the branch?
What if a gust of wind suddenly blew her off course while she was jumping?
All these possibilities existed, and it was very likely that she could fall through the needles or jump out of the range of the pine tree, plunging directly to the valley floor seventy to eighty meters below, shattering into pieces!
However, based on the previous life's events, her chances of being rescued on this route were zero.
If she wanted to save herself, the only option was to take a leap of fate at the spot where she jumped off the cliff in her previous life.
Mengyu quickly prepared herself mentally: bet on it, jump!
With this decision, her wildly beating heart calmed down.
Finally, she saw that big rock; turning past that rock and walking downhill would lead to another mountain.
In her previous life, she had dashed towards that big rock and jumped down.
But just as she was about to reach the rock, Lao Liu suddenly roared, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Mengyu was startled and instinctively turned her head to look at Lao Liu.
Lao Liu's hand was reaching for Pi Yuhua, and Pi Yuhua was actually preparing to jump off the cliff!
"Let go of me, I don't want to be sold, let me die!" Pi Yuhua screamed.
Jiang Mengyu's heart skipped a beat; she thought Pi Yuhua had given up on dying. She herself, who had prepared to jump off the cliff, hadn't jumped yet, but Pi Yuhua had already jumped first.
In the past life, Pi Yuhua had fallen off the mountain and died because her hands were tied and she couldn't grab onto anything, but in this life, she was taking the initiative to jump off the cliff. Her jump location was not the same as where Mengyu was.
Jumping down from that big rock was a life-and-death situation, but jumping from Pi Yuhua's spot was certain death!
However, this was a good opportunity!
Next moment, Jiang Mengyu rushed onto the rock and leapt off the cliff.
"Soldier, grab her!"
Lao Liu was shocked; he had only been worried that the despondent Miss Pi would commit suicide, but not expecting that the fearless young girl would also seek death.
He was really confused; a teenage girl not fearing them meant she was determined to die.
If she wasn't afraid of death, she obviously wouldn't fear them.
How had he not realized that?
A shorter human trafficker rushed towards Mengyu up the big rock, hurriedly following to try and grab the jumping Mengyu.
But he only caught her foot.
Mengyu, though just a teenage girl, weighed over ninety pounds; holding onto just a foot, how could he hold on?
He screamed in panic, "I can't hold on!"
Lao Liu couldn't let go of Pi Yuhua either, fearing that if he did, Pi Yuhua would jump, and he wouldn't be able to save either of them.
He could only shout: "Hold on tight, you must!"
The soldier wanted to hold on, but with Mengyu's struggle, the worn rubber shoe on her foot came off.
Jiang Mengyu still fell, and the soldier was left holding just her tattered shoe.
"Don't—" The soldier was terrified.

Although he was a human trafficker, he did not want to harm lives.
Listening to the whooshing wind by her ears, Jiang Mengyu cursed inside.
She wasn't seeking death; she just wanted to escape by jumping off the cliff.
Although she had aimed for a particular spot to jump to, with the soldier grabbing her like that, she didn't know if she would miss the spot and whether she would land on the pine tree.
