Chapter 522: Chapter 507: Something Happened

"Mm!" Gongsun Yue was a bit eager and hopeful. Although she had ridden it once a long time ago, she had been alone that time and it had scared her nearly to the point of fainting, but she had managed to hold on. Now, after several years, it should be a bit easier, right?

The two got into the car and immediately settled down. Ye Chen carefully fastened Gongsun Yue’s seatbelt and secured the safety catch. Then, he forcefully tested it to see if there were any problems with the safety catch. Gongsun Yue said with a smiling face, "Ye Chen, thank you!"

"No need to be polite!" Ye Chen smiled slightly and then sat down, securing his own seatbelt.

After that, the staff members carefully checked on each passenger. Firstly, there was an initial check inside the control room. If anyone’s safety catch wasn’t fastened or the safety bar wasn’t lowered, then the roller coaster wouldn’t be able to start. Even if all the lights turned green, the staff still had to check each passenger carefully before the ride could officially commence.

The staff quickly completed their checks and then signaled to the control room that they could launch. A bell rang, it was the sound of the roller coaster starting; Gongsun Yue quickly grabbed Ye Chen’s hand and said, "Ye Chen, I... I’m a bit nervous!"

"What’s there to fear!" Ye Chen replied with a casual smile, "You’ll soon feel the rush of soaring into the sky!"

The car started to move slowly; initially, the speed wasn’t fast, and the first challenge was a steep slope of sixty degrees. After slowly climbing ten or so meters up the steep slope, there was a sudden pause, and then the car rushed down instantly. Those who hadn’t prepared yet suddenly screamed. Gongsun Yue also yelled frantically, "Wow!!"

Ye Chen, however, had his eyes open, looking at the roller coaster’s track, which was several kilometers long. But relative to the speed of the roller coaster, a hundred kilometers per hour, the length of the track didn’t seem very long. Ahead was a three-hundred-sixty-degree turn, a super steep dive, and a highest point, which was said to be over forty meters...

"Wow, Ye Chen, I feel like I’m going to faint!" Gongsun Yue cried out. The roller coaster, moving at breakneck speed, roared through the three-hundred-sixty-degree turn, then soared up a steep slope before diving down again.

The climax of the roller coaster ride had finally arrived, with very high speed and continuous screams.

Soon, the car rushed up nearly forty meters high to the peak on an eighty-degree steep slope. Seeing the height, nearly equal to twenty stories, everyone was stunned as they were about to take the final super steep dive.

However, just as the car was about to rush out, Ye Chen’s sharp ears suddenly caught a clear burst amidst the noisy crowd. The sound was faint, but Ye Chen caught it.

Click, click, click...

The roller coaster suddenly made a sharp noise. Among the crowd below, several men hidden among them immediately pressed their remote controls, and then the nails on the track popped out, followed by the raised nails jamming the roller coaster’s wheels, producing a piercing sound.

"What’s that sound?!" With the car’s slow speed, the people on the ride finally heard the sound of the nails catching the roller coaster’s wheels.

"Could it be... could it be something’s wrong?" Finally, someone mentioned an ominous thought.

"Oh God, I don’t want to die!" A woman immediately burst into tears.

"Ye Chen, what... what’s happening?" Hearing this, Gongsun Yue’s face turned pale with fright as she tightly grabbed Ye Chen’s arm. Ye Chen frowned, looking at the terrifying height, and he immediately felt a wave of fear. But at this time, he had to overcome such fear, thankful that there were guardrails on both sides of the ride. Even if the ride stopped, they could hold onto the guardrails.

However, what Ye Chen didn’t expect was that the initial design wasn’t meant to prevent roller coaster collisions. If the roller coaster were ever to crash out, then the guardrails, being so flimsy, wouldn’t possibly be able to stop the car from plunging down.

Inside the roller coaster command room, a sharp voice rang out.

"What’s going on?" The person in charge rushed in immediately.

"Manager, it’s bad, the car has malfunctioned!" The staff member yelled, "There seems to be some abnormality with the car, and it can’t be located right away!"

"Then stop it immediately!" The person in charge shouted.

"We can’t stop it; the car has already taken off!" The staff member screamed. At this moment, two men in black rushed in, and the person in charge was startled and immediately asked, "Who are you guys, don’t you know that this area is restricted access?"

"We are bodyguards from the Gongsun Family, our lady is on the roller coaster right now!" The two turned pale with fury, "Has there been a problem with the roller coaster?"

Sss...

Whether it was the person in charge or the staff on site, they couldn’t help but gasp. The Gongsun Family’s young lady was on the roller coaster. This meant enormous trouble was coming. If it had been an ordinary person, at most some money would be compensated for their death, but the Gongsun Family’s young lady was on it, and it was feared that what would be paid was not money, but lives.

"Quick, quick, find the problem immediately!" the person in charge commanded. Then, stepping to one side, he explained the current situation to the bodyguards. The bodyguards were scared out of their wits, they immediately called Gongsun Zhen. The situation was urgent, and such a matter was definitely beyond their authority, so, they promptly informed Gongsun Zhen, hoping he would handle the issue.

Having received the call from the bodyguards, Gongsun Zhen immediately cursed, "Idiots, you were supposed to protect Little Yue, how are you protecting her?"

Gongsun Zhen hung up the phone and hurried towards Disneyland. At this moment, the roller coaster had plunged down with great diving force, due to the two solid bolts—one pushing forward, the other hooked. Added to the force of the track itself.

The three forces combined, throwing the entire force into disarray, then with a loud bang, the topmost part of the track suddenly broke off. The solid rivets came loose, and at this fragile point, they simply couldn’t withstand the immense pressure.

Boom...

The front half of the roller coaster completely fell off; the steel, seemingly strong, became incredibly fragile in that instant. The pressure of the coaster, along with the tremendous weight of the passengers, bent the steel instantly. Then, slowly, the roller coaster began to slide down.

"Ah!! Help, help!" The people seated at the front screamed frantically. Looking down, the people below seemed as tiny as ants, and immediately, the crowd below fell into a panic with some people taking out their phones to dial 999 for help.

Police and fire engines arrived at the scene rapidly, but faced with such a high-altitude operation, the police were also helpless. Even as the fire truck extended its ladder, it couldn’t reach the height of over forty meters. Half of the roller coaster hung in mid-air, and the men and women atop it started to cry loudly together.

"Ye Chen, I don’t want to die, save me!" Gongsun Yue, trembling all over, began to babble, "Save me, save me, I don’t want to die!"

The girl’s desire to survive was still incredibly strong at this crucial moment. Ye Chen quickly reassured her, "Good girl, don’t be afraid, I will save you very soon!"

"Quick, quick, I don’t want to die!" Gongsun Yue sobbed uncontrollably, "Ye Chen, please save me, if I survive, I’ll marry you, okay, isn’t offering myself in return enough?"

Ye Chen’s expression was grave, with a safety bar in front of him and a seatbelt fastened around him, so the first thing he had to do was to unbuckle himself. Ye Chen immediately pressed the buckle but realized that it couldn’t be opened while the coaster was in operation. The staff in the control room hadn’t released the safety buckle switch. Ye Chen understood that at this time, they would be even less likely to release the buckle.

Once the buckle was released, then people in the car would definitely panic, and that in turn would disrupt the ongoing rescue plan. However, Ye Chen couldn’t worry about that, he had to save the girl Gongsun Yue. Whether it was because he liked her or because of her extraordinary status.

Ye Chen immediately drew his Dagger and easily cut through the seatbelt. Yet, the safety bar before him posed another problem.

"Ye Chen, how... how did you unbuckle your seatbelt?" Gongsun Yue quickly asked.

"Don’t shout, I will save you right now!" Ye Chen gave Gongsun Yue a reassuring smile, a smile that made her suddenly feel a rush of warmth and relief. Suddenly, Gongsun Yue saw just how handsome and brave Ye Chen was. She nodded and said, "Okay!"

Sitting on the chair, Ye Chen braced his arms against the safety bar and then forcibly pushed with both hands. His muscles swelled frantically, his face turning bright red from the effort. Eventually, the safety bar began to give way, inch by inch. Gongsun Yue, beside him, began to cheer for Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you can do it, Ye Chen, you can do it!"

Crack...

Suddenly, the roller coaster slid down a notch. The passengers’ screams grew louder. With a strong effort, Ye Chen finally loosened the safety bar.

He stood up from the seat and quickly cut through Gongsun Yue’s seatbelt. From such a high vantage point, Little Ni Gongsun Yue didn’t even dare to stand. She exclaimed in terror, "I... I’m scared, I’m so scared!"

"It’s okay, I’ll hold you!" Ye Chen encouraged her with a glance.

"No, no, I’m still scared!" Gongsun Yue immediately shook her head, her large eyes brimming with tears.
