After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Terrified screams began to emanate from the Ferris wheel and below.

If it were just a Ferris wheel suddenly stopping, people wouldn't be so scared, since these kinds of things are usually very safe and have a very low failure rate.

But the loud noise and the flash of fire were truly terrifying.

Even Qin Wanqing suddenly stood up, knocking over the coffee cup on the table.

The remaining liquid flowed onto the red wooden tabletop, giving it a striking, blood-like appearance!

"Go ask the staff what's going on!"

Qin Wanqing took a deep breath, gave an instruction to the person next to her, took out her phone, and dialed Ye Bai's number.

Qin Na and the others who had been nearby did not hesitate and quickly went to find the amusement park staff.

Although the young lady wasn't on the Ferris wheel, the young master and Shen Lu were, along with Xiao Taozi, and the Qin family's bodyguards were all extremely nervous at this moment.

"What's the situation where you are? Are Little Peach and Lulu alright? Did they cry from fright?"

As soon as the call connected, Qin Wanqing immediately started asking questions.

"They're both alright..."

Ye Bai's voice sounded weak and listless.

If Qin Wanqing were also in the sedan chair, she would have noticed that this guy's face was very pale, without a trace of color.

Shen Lu and Xiao Taozi, the two girls, one big and one small, were quite energetic. Not only were they not afraid, but they were also looking around to see what had happened and why such a big Ferris wheel had suddenly stopped moving.

"What's wrong? Are you suddenly feeling unwell? Wait... you're not afraid of heights, are you?"

Qin Wanqing's hearing was still very sharp, and she instantly noticed Ye Bai's abnormality. Then her expression began to turn strange.

"It's a little embarrassing, but that seems to be the case..."

Ye Bai sighed helplessly, looking melancholy.

He thought he was definitely not afraid of heights, but now he realizes he was clearly overthinking it.

When the elevator car reached a certain height, he simply glanced down out of curiosity, and what he found made him feel terrible.

He hadn't experienced this feeling of utter weakness, trembling legs, and a racing heartbeat in years.

"That's not right. I remember you told me before that when you were in the mountains, you would often go to the top of the mountain and look down, and you said that the mountain was so high that it was no shorter than Mount Everest. How tall is this Ferris wheel?"

Qin Wanqing asked in confusion.

Ye Bai said dejectedly, "But there are clouds and mist when you look down from the mountain, you can't see the bottom at all. Unlike up here, it's so clear that I feel like I could fall off at any moment..."

"...What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!"

Standing below, Qin Wanqing looked up at the highest cabin of the Ferris wheel, feeling both worried and somewhat amused.

Although she had always thought Ye Bai was unreliable, she never imagined he could be this unreliable.

He doesn't even know if he's afraid of heights, yet he dares to take two young girls to ride a Ferris wheel. That's just unbelievable.

Fortunately, neither Shen Lu nor Xiao Taozi is afraid of heights, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"By the way, what's wrong with this Ferris wheel? Could it be broken?"

To avoid being further looked down upon by Queen Qin, Ye Bai quickly changed the subject.

What he wants to do most right now is to get down and put his feet on the ground.

Staying here for even a second longer is pure torture.

Fortunately, he was no ordinary person. Although his body reacted, he was able to suppress his fear with his willpower.

But it's hard to say how long this pressure will last.

His fear of heights is entirely a physiological instinct, something that is beyond the scope of medical intervention.

"I had Qin Na go and ask, but it's still unclear. Don't do anything rash up there. Don't worry, if the amusement park can't handle it, I'll call a helicopter over..."

Qin Wanqing gave her some careful instructions and comforted her.

That last sentence was especially powerful.

This is normal, though. For ordinary people, helicopters are out of reach, and they may never even have the chance to ride one or see one up close in their entire lives.

But for the wealthy, it's just an ordinary means of transportation, no different from a car.

As the most prestigious family in Jingzhou, the Qin family did not purchase a private jet to avoid being too high-profile, but they still owned helicopters.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai finally felt relieved. The highest point of this Ferris wheel is over 100 meters high, which is close to the height of a 40-story building.

At such an astonishing height, unless he could actually fly, he would surely die if he fell.

"Brother Ye Bai, look! There's someone in that little house wearing a strange mask and holding something... Hmm? It looks a lot like my toy gun..."

Just as Ye Bai was pondering what was wrong with the Ferris wheel and whether it could be repaired, Xiao Taozi, who was looking around curiously, suddenly tugged at his sleeve and said something.

"A little house? A mask? A toy gun?"

Ye Bai was completely bewildered. He subconsciously looked in the direction Little Peach was pointing, and then his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Suddenly, a person wearing a spider mask appeared in the carriage right next to theirs, holding a gun!

At that moment, the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the sedan chair where Ye Bai was!

"Killer?"

Ye Bai suddenly had this guess, but instead of immediately taking Shen Lu and Xiao Taozi to hide, he looked at the other party with a strange expression.

It's not because the gondola is too small to hide in; the most important thing is that, to ensure the safety of tourists to the greatest extent, the glass in the gondola is specially made, as is the body of the gondola.

Ordinary handgun bullets simply cannot penetrate it.

Not to mention that the distance from the other party's car to one's own car is equivalent to two whole floors!

If the other side fires, not only will they be unlikely to hit them, but they will also easily be killed by the ricocheting stray bullets!

So unless someone is an idiot, they wouldn't do something so stupid.

So here's the question: what does this guy mean by making that gesture?

A simple prank?

Ye Bai immediately rejected the idea as soon as it crossed his mind.

The reason is simple: the gun the other party had was real!

Although Ye Bai never uses a gun, it doesn't mean he's unfamiliar with them.

No one would bring a real gun to play a prank, especially since China has always had the strictest gun control in the world.

Moreover, the masked man's eyes were extremely cold, filled with a disregard for life.

This kind of look is only ever seen in real killers.

Soon, to Ye Bai's surprise, the masked assassin made another move.

Suddenly, the other person pulled out a strangely shaped key from their pocket.

Then, to Ye Bai's astonishment, the masked assassin actually opened the sedan chair door...
