The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 158.3

As they traveled halfway down the road, they sky gradually darkened.

It was already more than nine o’clock at night. The road was dark, and the headlights shone in the snow, reflecting the dazzling reflections.

In order to avoid accidents, the convoy drove forward at a very slow speed. The wheels ran over the snow and left deep ruts. The thickest part of the snow on both sides of the road was nearly a meter deep, and the crowd watched as a hare jumped into the snow, leaving a deep vertical pit.

Dinner was served on the bus. Su Jishi played games until her phone ran out of battery and casually ate a few mouthfuls of flatbread, she began to close her eyes to rest.

Without warning, a piercing noise erupted from the bottom of the bus. The bus stopped suddenly, and everyone plunged forward because of inertia! !

This sharp brake instantly woke up many people from their lucid dreams. Everyone panicked and opened their eyes, tension written on every face.

“What’s wrong?”

“We suddenly braked. Did we hit something?”

“It’s not like it…Could it be a problem with the road?”

“It can’t be that the bus broke down half way ah! We’re still dozens of kilometers from the camp!”

All of a sudden, all sorts of comments rang out in the bus. The crowd looked at each other, and the least courageous Wei Jing immediately grabbed his bag and nervously asked the director, “Will it be the same as last time?”

On their trip to Indonesia last time, their vehicle broke down halfway, and all the guests had to get off and walk to the camp. It turned out afterwards that it was all a deliberate attempt by the program group to give the guests a surprise attack.

The Director hurriedly cleared himself of suspicion, “No, it’s really not us this time! It’s more than 40 degrees below zero outside without street lights, so how could we joke about everyone’s life?!”

Since it wasn’t the program group’s trick, then why?

The crowd turned their eyes to the driver. The bus driver was a Kazakh compatriot hired locally. He stuttered in Chinese, but was more familiar with the road conditions.

He looked warily at the road ahead and turned on the dipped headlights ——

—— “Whoa!”

The crowd exclaimed when they saw a dozen animals on the only way in front of the bus! Pointed ears, narrow face, variegated fur, hairy tail tightly sandwiched between hind legs…Under the glare of the light, they didn’t dodge, and the eye mask even reflected faint light.

Someone asked, “A-Are they wolves or wild dogs?” The man’s voice trembled, but everyone had no time to laugh at him.

The same question resounded in everyone’s heart. What was in front of us, wolves or wild dogs?

The uninvited guests were between the size of wolves and large dogs, with thick fur but thin bodies. Everyone had never seen wild wolves, but they had seen all kinds of large dogs in the city. They compared the appearances of the animals with the large dogs in their memories, but they couldn’t come to any conclusion after comparing them.

The Kazakh driver muttered something in their language and stammered an explanation, saying that the pack was most likely a hybrid string of wolves and dogs.

The pack of wolfhounds (let’s use that word to describe the pack) gathered in the middle of the road, with countless paws almost flattening the snow. Even though the drivers kept honking their horns and flashing their headlights, they didn’t duck.

“It’s so strange..,” said another Han Chinese pick-up personnel in the car, “Generally, wild animals of this size actively avoid cars.”

“Could it be that they are too hungry?” Qin Qiu asked nervously, “I’ve seen videos on the Internet where hungry wolves would even besiege small cars!”

“You said small cars. Ours are buses. Even if they are hungry, they can’t possibly think of attacking us.”

Everyone raised all sorts of opinions, but no one knew how to handle the current situation.

The director asked the driver, “The road is so wide, can we just go around this group of animals?”

The driver waved his hand: “Not wide, not wide! It’s all snow! Drive to the side and fall off!”

It turned out that only two vehicles could pass side by side on this asphalt road, with deep earth slopes on both sides. The heavy snow a few days ago covered the earth slopes on both sides. For those who were not familiar with the local road conditions, it suddenly looked as if there were flat roads in front of them, but if they wanted to “detour”, they would definitely fall into a pit.

If they couldn’t detour, and the wolfhounds didn’t give way, how were they to solve it?

Time gradually passed, ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour… In the dark, the huge bus confronted the group of wolves and dogs with unknown purpose.

A depressing silence spread in the bus. Many people already had the answer in their hearts, but they didn’t know how to speak.

In the end, the Chief Producer gritted his teeth and assumed the role of the villain——

“Drive straight.” He said ruthlessly, “Our bus is so big and heavy, so it will never be knocked over by animals of their size. If we drive in front of them and they don’t even avoid us, then…blame them for not paying attention.”

This was very cold-blooded, but it was the only way to solve the problem now.

Faced with this pack of uninvited guests who inexplicably blocked the way, were they all going to be trapped there all night?

“Isn’t that bad? It’s too cruel to run over these animals directly.”

“Is there no other way?”

“We might as well wait a little longer. Maybe they’ll disperse after a while.”

“Then until when do we have to wait? The sun doesn’t rise until 9:30 in the morning, and it’s 40 degrees below zero outside. Even if we keep the heat on all night, it won’t last until tomorrow morning!”

“But do we really have to run over them all to death? How many sins must we commit, ah!”

One said one thing, and the other countered. At first, there were a few people who were opposed to the idea of treating these creatures in such a cruel way, but gradually, those opposing voices were silenced.

Gradually, silence returned to the bus.

The Chief Producer nodded to the driver and gave him a hand signal. The throttle roared and the body started up, vibrating in place, and ready to charge towards the pack of wolfhounds in the night…

“—— Wait, don’t drive just yet!”

A crisp voice rang out.

The crowd followed the voice, only to see that Su Jin had left her seat at some point and was standing in front of the front-most windshield.

She propped one hand on the glass and leaned forward slightly, her expression strained.

“Look carefully,” she curled her fingers and tapped the glass, “Whether it’s a dog or a wolf, when they have the need to hunt collectively, they should surround the prey, not gather in front of it —— they don’t treat us as prey at all. They are guarding something!”

Xiao Xia asked doubtfully, “What are they guarding?”

“Well, we’d have to ask them.”

After saying that, Su Jishi decisively pulled open the car window on her side. The cold wind swept into the bus. She threw a bag of dried beef jerky at the dogs amidst the crowd’s alarm.

The jerky was a local specialty. It was pure beef, pure protein, and was given to the guest artists to replenish their strength in the field. However, she now threw it into the snow without cherishing it.

The wolfhounds that smelled the meat immediately gathered around, but surprisingly, they didn’t grab the jerky. Instead, they took it in their mouths and walked towards the back of the pack.

“Could it be that they are going to scatter?” Yan Changhui said with chagrin, “If I had known it was so simple, then I would have thrown the jerky towards the distance, and they would have run after it.”

“Not true.” Su Jishi gestured for everyone to look carefully, “Look in the snow where they were, there is another one!”

The crowd squinted carefully —— Indeed, there was a large wolfhound, lying in the middle of the snow, while the other wolfhounds carried the jerky and was pushing it into the wolfhound’s mouth.

The wolfhound was lying in a corner out of the headlight and was almost integrated with the snow. It was covered by the others, so everyone didn’t notice it.

It was only then that everyone noticed its presence.

The driver turned on the dipped headlights, and under the high beams, everyone finally saw the wolfhound’s appearance —— It was huddled on the ground, with one leg twisted and coiled underneath it, already stained black with blood! Moreover, it was struggling to move, but that leg was still stuck to the ground.

“A car must have hit it and broke its leg,” the driver explained in jerky Chinese.

“Not only that.” Su Jishi said in a deep voice, “The weather was so cold that its blood froze it to the ground.”

That was why it was lying there motionless while the other wolfhounds were protecting it!

“So… what should we do?” After learning that the pack of wolfhounds were harmless, the goodwill that had been suppressed in everyone’s heart bubbled up again.

Su Jishi raised her hand and shook the hot thermo pot in her arms: “It seems that my hot water can come in handy.”
