Chapter 26 Skydiving
Hahaha~
Lee Woo-bin's voice changed when he laughed.
"Now you know to beg me? Too late! This good-for-nothing isn't worth your pleading! Let him make his own choice!"
In the gale-force winds of fifty meters per second, Li Zhengyi's hair was blown into a mess.
The airflow sucked up his work clothes.
But he showed no signs of trembling.
He was looking at Bae Joo-hyun.
Look at her crying.
Look at her hair, which was all messed up by the wind, and the way she huddled in her seat wearing his denim jacket.
"Don't cry. Your face looks bad from crying."
He fastened Bae Joo-hyun's seatbelt, then stood up.
It wasn't blown up by the wind.
It's not a loss of balance.
It means they stood up.
Against the wind, he walked step by step toward Lee Woo-bin.
"Stop him!"
Lee Woo-bin gave the order.
Two towering bodyguards stood on either side of Li Zhengyi behind him, forcibly draping parachutes over his body, ready to carry out the order to "throw him out" at any moment.
Li Zhengyi had been forced to the edge of the cabin door.
Just half a step back and you're in the night sky, 10,000 meters above the ground.
The strong wind whipped his work clothes wildly, and his hair stood on end, but his expression remained unchanged.
How can I describe it?
Impatient, but completely unaware of any danger.
Bae Joo-hyun was trembling all over.
Her black stockings were torn in several places by the shards in the airflow, and her coat was blown up by the wind, but she didn't care about any of that.
She only stared at Li Zhengyi.
He was already forced to the edge of the hatch; one more step back and he would be gone.
"Lee Woo-bin! I promise you! I'll break up with him! I'll never see him again! Make him come back!"
"Too late!"
Lee Woo-bin didn't even turn his head.
He's completely out of control.
It's not the kind of excitement that comes from anger, but the kind of excitement that comes from waiting too long for the prey to finally be caught in the cage.
He looked at Li Zhengyi, his eyes bloodshot.
"Kneel down. Admit your mistake. Say you're no longer worthy of Irene. Then I'll let you come back."
All eyes in the cabin were on Li Zhengyi.
Two bodyguards had already put their hands on his shoulders.
It's not escorting, it's preparation.
As long as Lee Woo-bin gives the order, they will push him out.
Lee Jung-il looked down at the two hands resting on his shoulders, then looked up at Lee Woo-bin.
Then he laughed.
"Brother, all this fuss is just to make me admit defeat. Fine, I admit defeat."
Lee Woo-bin's expression changed.
"But..."
Li Zhengyi sighed.
"Before I kneel, there's something I need to tell you. It's about the successor Father chose. You should know that I was Father's favorite child, and I've always known who his heir was."
Lee Woo-bin's expression changed.
It wasn't an exaggerated change; it was that his pupils contracted slightly, and his fingers tightened slightly on the remote control.
Li Zhengyi was indeed the most favored child.
This is why, despite being the youngest, she became the first person targeted in the succession war.
He has always held a grudge about this.
How did you know?
"Although I don't live at home, I have my own methods. My father's feelings haven't changed, and they're related to you. He explained why you've always been excluded from the company's core power structure."
"What's the reason?"
Li Zhengyi shook his head, patted the hands of the two bodyguards on his shoulders, and spoke in a relaxed tone as if he were talking about the weather.
"Well, it's a family secret. I can only tell you this. Come here."
Lee Woo-bin stared at him.
The wind made everything moving in the cabin dance wildly, and the warning lights turned everyone's faces red.
But this kid in the convenience store uniform.
He was forced to the edge of the cabin door, with two bodyguards holding him down by the shoulders; he had no way to retreat.
He's still negotiating?
"If you're trying to stall for time."
Li Zheng rolled his eyes.
"What can I drag at an altitude of 10,000 meters?"
"Are they dragging heavenly soldiers and generals along?"
"Second brother, come here. After I finish speaking, you can throw me down if you want. Anyway, I'm so skinny, it'll only take a few seconds to throw me out."
Lee Woo-bin hesitated for a moment.
Then he winked at his two bodyguards, signaling them to keep an eye on him.
He took two steps forward.
Not close enough.
"Get closer. The bodyguards can't hear this, or Father will deal with them all."
Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards visibly took a half step back.
The secrets concerning the heirs of wealthy families are enough to make them die silently.
Lee Woo-bin took another step forward.
He was now less than an arm's length away from Li Zhengyi.
He tilted his head slightly and brought his ear closer.
"explain."
He was still clutching the remote control in his hand, his fingers still resting on the hatch release button.
Li Zhengyi grinned.
It's not a smile, it's the kind of expression your friend makes when they say "Let me tell you some gossip" at the dinner table and then squeeze wasabi into your bowl.
"Actually, I don't know who Dad chose as his successor. I made it up."
Lee Woo-bin's pupils contracted sharply.
Before he could retreat, Li Zhengyi had already made his move.
It's not about retreating.
Going backward means falling down.
It's moving forward.
He broke free from the bodyguard's grasp, grabbed Lee Woo-bin by the collar, and pulled him backward.
The entire sequence of movements takes less than a second.
Two bodyguards rushed forward, but it was too late.
Li Zheng pushed off with his foot and, holding Li Yubin, fell out of the open hatch together.
"You... Ahhh!!!"
Before Lee Woo-bin's scream could even take shape, his throat was filled with the raging winds from 10,000 meters above the ground.
The plane turned into a small dot of light and quickly disappeared overhead.
The stars spun wildly before my eyes, and the clouds brushed past my face.
The sound of the wind was so loud it was no longer just a sound; it was a physical attack.
It's like someone taking a hundred hair dryers and turning them on to the highest setting right in your ears.
The parachute was carried on Li Zhengyi's back.
He was the only one carrying it.
Lee Woo-bin didn't memorize anything.
Lee Woo-bin only realized this fact in the third second of his freefall.
At first, it was anger.
But anger cannot change gravity.
Anger quickly turned into fear.
But fear cannot change gravity.
Fear quickly transformed into a pure survival instinct.
He flailed wildly in the air, tearing, grabbing, and pushing, but Li Zhengyi's arms were locked tighter than the clips on a parachute, binding him like a monkey strapped to a rocket.
"Are you crazy?! You didn't give me an umbrella!!!"
"You like extreme sports, right? This is extreme sports!"
Li Zhengyi grinned in the wind, laughing like a madman.
"A tandem jump! I'll open the parachute, you just yell!"
"Aa ...
Bae Joo-hyun's scream was left on the plane.
She slumped in her seat, unable to utter a complete syllable.
She watched them disappear through the hatch, like two tiny dots swallowed by the night.
Then all that remained in the cabin were the sounds of the wind, the alarm, and the captain's face, which looked uglier than ever, as he rushed out of the cockpit.
