Peninsula: The young master is poor and doesn't want to date.

Chapter 27 The Truth

wind.

The wind didn't blow here.

The wind was blowing in.

The moment Li Zhengyi jumped out of the hatch, he confirmed one thing.

He will never believe any skydiving scenes in movies again in his life.

In the movie, the protagonist jumps out of the plane with a calm expression, his hair is perfectly styled, and he can even make hand gestures with his teammates in the air.

That's all nonsense.

The reality is, the moment you jump out of the plane, the wind will slap you like a hundred madmen at the same time.

Your face will be blown into the ugliest meme of the moment in a fraction of a second.

Your hair will fly wildly in all possible directions simultaneously, defying gravity.

At this moment, Li Zhengyi was in such an extremely undignified posture, grabbing another person's collar tightly and slamming him down from a height of 10,000 meters.

The person thrashed about in his arms like a fish thrown ashore.

"Aa ...

Lee Woo-bin's screams pierced the wind.

It wasn't just ordinary screams.

It's a scream that can put your vocal cords on sick leave for at least three months.

How loud is a scream at 10,000 meters altitude?

Li Zhengyi thought that if a plane were to pass by at that moment, the pilot would probably think that an air raid siren had been sounded.

If there were a decibel meter, the reading would probably be off the charts.

But Li Zhengyi didn't have time to pay attention to his shouts.

He was working on a math problem.

10,000 meters.

Without opening the parachute, a freefall would likely take less than two minutes to reach the bottom.

The parachute must be deployed above a safe altitude, no later than 800 meters.

In other words, he had a little over a minute to rectify the family's conduct.

"You're insane—!! You're insane—!!!"

Lee Woo-bin flailed his arms wildly.

Push, grab, hit, tear.

They used every physical attack they could think of.

But Li Zhengyi's arms were like two steel bars, firmly gripping his body without moving an inch.

Just kidding, he carried beverage crates at a convenience store for two years; his core strength and arm strength are no joke.

Although he can't beat Ran, he's more than capable of controlling a second-generation chaebol who spends all his time doing "champagne glass weightlifting".

Li Zhengyi pulled Li Yubin's head in front of him and shouted at the top of his lungs in the wind.

"I'm not crazy! I just added an experience item for you!"

"I'm going to kill you—!!!"

"Get landed first!!"

Nine thousand meters.

The acceleration of free fall is about 10 meters per second, and the two people are now traveling at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour.

Lee Woo-bin felt like his eyeballs were about to pop out.

Breathing is impossible.

Air pressure forces air into and out of your lungs, like the hands of an 80-year-old masseur repeatedly kneading your lungs.

His brain began to lack oxygen, but fear did not.

The fear was crystal clear.

Fear unleashed a heavy metal concert in every cell of his body.

He glanced down at it.

The ocean, bathed in moonlight, unfolds beneath my feet.

black.

cold.

The sea is endless.

The sea looks pretty normally, but from 9,000 meters down, it's not the sea; it's a monster ready to crush you.

Even if he was completely ignorant, he knew that falling from that height directly into the sea would only turn him into a pile of minced meat.

Lee Woo-bin's last bit of bladder contents finally found an outlet.

"You're scared to death."

"I don't!!!"

"Then why are your pants hot?"

The rumors were so strong that Lee Woo-bin's explanation was torn to shreds.

All the calculations that usually run like lightning in his mind—how to pursue female celebrities, how to conduct business, how to act obediently in front of his father, and how to show weakness in front of his older brother—completely shut down.

Only one process remains, constantly looping.

I'm going to die, ....

Fear has pushed this process to its highest priority, crowding out all other brain resources.

"Seven thousand meters!"

Li Zheng shouted.

It was a reminder of his altitude.

This younger brother, even in a situation like this, was still able to calmly calculate the time and thus estimate the descent altitude.

Lee Woo-bin made one last attempt.

Reach for the umbrella pull ring on Li Zhengyi's chest.

The moment their fingers touched, Li Zhengyi grabbed his wrist.

The force was so great that the bones were protesting.

"No rush, let's chat a little longer."

"Let's talk about you... Ah!!!"

"Save your energy. You don't have a very long vocabulary for swearing; you just keep repeating the same two words. Six thousand meters."

The clouds rushed in. The two of them plunged into a clump of grayish-white cotton like cannonballs, and visibility instantly dropped to zero.

Ice crystals and super-cold water droplets hit my face, feeling like countless fine needles pricking me at once.

I can't see anything.

Only white.

An endless expanse of white.

Then suddenly, it pierced through.

"Five thousand meters!"

Li Zheng leaned close to Li Yubin's ear and squeezed out a sentence with all his might.

"Brother! I need to ask you something! What exactly is wrong with Father? Tell me the truth!"

Lee Woo-bin's eyes widened in the wind.

You're asking me this at a time like this?

"Liver...liver cancer!!"

"Which issue?!"

"I don't know!! My father has blocked the news!! I can't find out!!"

"You just said you investigated for two years!! What did you find out?!"

"You were kicked out!! It was the eldest brother who did it!!!"

Lee Woo-bin's voice was broken by the wind.

"The person who handed you the drink that night was one of Big Brother's men!! The person who helped you upstairs was one of Big Brother's men!! The person who went to call your stepmother and caught you in the act was also one of his men!! It was him from beginning to end!!!"

Li Zhengyi's fingers tightened slightly in the wind.

This was the only time his expression changed during the entire freefall.

It wasn't anger, it wasn't hatred.

Yes, it's confirmed.

Just as he guessed.

It was the same answer he had mentally rehearsed countless times over the past two years.

"Go on!!"

"My older brother thought I was useless!! He let his guard down in front of me!! It took me two years of intermittent research to piece it together!!!"

Lee Woo-bin's voice was completely hoarse; every word he uttered sounded like stabs of knives.

"Little brother, I'm not your enemy!! I'm a fucking piece of trash!! You know what trash is!! I'm just bullying you!! But I never intended to kill you!! You fucking think about whether I can even survive!!!"

Four thousand meters.

They pierced through the clouds.

The sea surface reappeared, closer, larger, and more clearly than before.

Lee Woo-bin could see the shape of the waves.

Fortunately, he also saw the coastline.

But without an umbrella, the ocean and the land are no different; they're both just a lump of meat paste.

Li Zhengyi was listening to the wind.

It's not about feeling, it's about listening.

The sound of wind during free fall varies.

The higher it is, the sharper it is; the lower it is, the heavier it is.

He had learned to skydive a few times at the base before, a fact he didn't want to mention, but he did indeed learn.

The wind is getting stronger.

The sharp whistling turned into a deep rumble.

Three thousand meters is about right.

"Second brother, I'll ask you one last question! Do you really like Joo-hyun, or are you just playing around?!"

Lee Woo-bin almost forgot he was in heaven when he was asked that question.

What?

You're asking me this at a time like this?

"I……"

"Tell the truth!! Otherwise, I won't open the umbrella!!"
