My Billionaire Husband (Vivian and Morris) novel Chapter 106

When the masked man was about to walk across, Vivian got onto the wooden bridge.

But before she could take a few steps, the masked man slipped and stumbled, falling directly onto the wooden bridge, half of his body falling into the water.

His arms were clinging to the wooden bridge, the umbrella and cane in his hands having long since been swept away by the deluge.

"Help, help me. Help me. ......"

He looked to Vivian with pleading eyes, waiting for her to offer help.

It was super dangerous, coupled with the rapidity of the water, any later might have even given way to him washing away.

Vivian rushed straight forward, reaching out to yank the masked man.

The sound of the water pounding was so loud that the rapids rushed the masked man narrowly holding the wooden bridge in a critical condition.

She rushed to him, leaning down to tug him, "Hold on to me, get up here."

Vivian didn't know where the drain would lead, but wherever it led, she had to save him now.

The masked man reached out and held Vivian's hand tightly, and as she pulled harder, he slowly climbed upwards.

It took a few moments of struggling before he finally climbed up out of the water and managed to stand still.

"Whew, that was close. Thank you, thank you."

The man hunched over and stood in front of Vivian, bowing slightly in 'sincere' gratitude.

"You're welcome, let's go ...... ah!"

Vivian waved her hand and told the masked man to walk towards the bridge, but the next moment she was pushed directly into the river by the masked man.

It all came very suddenly, yet it was as if everything was expected.

Vivian let out a startled cry, but reached out in the nick of time to tug tightly at the masked man.

With a whoosh, the two men plunged into the raging river and were swept far down the swift current.

It all came so quickly that they had no time to call for help before they were already a dozen meters away.

In the river, Vivian tugged tightly at the masked man, not letting go in the slightest, no matter how much he resisted, she didn't let go!

Shit.

It was ultimately a miscalculation.

Vivian knew full well that the masked man had taken advantage of her kindness before deliberately pretending to fall into the water and dragging her into the water while she dropped her guard after saving him.

But no matter what, if she was going to die, she would never let the masked man go.

In the raging river, the masked man shrugged off Vivian with effort and tried to lift his foot to kick her, but the water was so fierce that all the force was washed away by the river, and he couldn't exert any strength.

The two of them just went downstream with the current, and all the way Vivian was looking for opportunities to save herself.

But the ferocious water had long since washed away everything on the banks of the confluent river, and there was nothing at all to save herself.

Not only was it impossible to save herself, but even staying alive was now in question.

A rapid lapped by and Vivian was swept under the water, taking a gulp of water as murky as mud.

She made to raise her head and cough a few times to ease the discomfort.

The masked man wasn't much better, again getting caught under the water and chocking by water from time to time.

While Vivian was looking at the masked man, she actually found a thick wooden pole rushing over from behind.

Her heart fluttered and she instantly let go of the masked man's hand, fearing that if she had been a moment later she would have been hit hard by the thick wooden pole and passed out on the spot.

But it was an opportunity to save herself.

Vivian saw the thick wooden pole being washed over, and swam to the side with a great deal of effort.

Despite the seemingly effortless movement, it took almost all of her strength in the turbulent water.

In the next second, the thick wooden pole had rushed over, and Vivian was unable to dodge it immediately, and was still hit by the thick wooden pole on her arm, cutting out a wound.

Except that in such a situation, she didn't even notice the wound, but recoiled in a swift, direct lunged to the thick wooden pole and grabbed it.

The masked man was hit in the head by the thick wooden pole and went into the water.

It all happened so fast, seemingly in an instant.

Vivian didn't have time to feel sorry for the masked man, but then, she noticed something tugging tightly at her ankle.

It was the masked man!

Vivian wanted to reach out and kick that bastard, but all her strength was washed away by the water and she couldn't exert any force, plus the water was extremely resistant.

Everything that seemed so simple, but it was hard to make a move.

The masked man finally picked himself up from under the water and smoothly held the thick tree trunk in front of him.

The two men just held the wooden pole, leaving less than a meter between them.

"Who the hell are you?"

The thick wooden pole was so buoyant that Vivian didn't have to worry about being swept under the water, so she looked sideways at the masked man and asked hysterically.

She was hysterical, not because she was overly angry, but because her voice was so low that the other person couldn't hear her.

The river was flowing and the sound of the water rolling was deafening.

The masked man gave her a look and didn't bother with her.

When Vivian saw that he didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either, just keeping quiet and keeping her strength up.

The further down the river, the wider it became, and although Vivian didn't know what was behind her, one thing was very clear, and that was that if she couldn't get to shore again, she might be swept into the lake behind her.

Even the ...... ocean!

There is a very large lake in Liangchuan County, but there is also an ocean a few hundred miles away.

They had been heading east when they fell into the water, but the bending and twisting river had washed in an unknown direction, and Vivian had lost her sense of direction.

"Want to cooperate?"

Suddenly, the silent masked man spoke.

Perhaps he too sensed that something was wrong.

"Why should I believe you?" Vivian didn't believe the masked man in the first place.

But she understood that she had to work with the masked man now, even if there was a chance of survival, she had to fight for it.

Just how it turned out, that was fate.

"If you don't believe me, we're both going to die!"

He said aloud.

Vivian wanted to say: die together then.

But she knew, deep down, that a little more delay would be more dangerous.

Because the two of them had been floating for an unknown amount of time, their physical strength was severely depleted, and if they finally ran out of strength, they would only die.

"What do I have to do?"

Vivian asked.

The masked man kept one hand on the wooden pole, fumbled in his clothes with the other, and finally pulled out a rope.

It was twine, as thick as a pinky, but long.

Because he had been hunched over, this rope was hidden around his waist and not at all visible.

He swam a little towards Vivian and said to her, "Tie the rope around your waist."

Vivian hesitated and said, "You go first!"

She would no longer trust the masked man and became defensive at every turn.

The masked man didn't say anything, freeing one hand to squeeze one end and wrap it around his waist, but after his arm turned half a circle, he looked to Vivian, meaning for her to help.

Vivian also freed a hand and took one end of the rope, then joined forces to tie the rope around her waist.

Then he helped Vivian again, tying the other end around her waist.

Granted, this way, one person who could tug on something could save the other, but Vivian didn't trust the masked man after all.

The two men looked ahead, and by a good coincidence, there was a tree growing diagonally across the river in front of them, with a section of its trunk submerged in the water.
