Escape Under the Sea Chapter 34

   * Collision *

  Zhou Xiuli and Zhang Xiaoxi waited for a few hours, but they still couldn't contact Lu Jia. They had thought about whether Lu Jia had already boarded the plane to return home. After all, there was no way to use the Internet for more than ten hours on the plane.

  However, this was really unreasonable. After all, Lu Jia already knew that this video had been widely disseminated. She had always been a careful child. How could she not know to call her family and friends to ensure her safety before boarding the plane?

  Therefore, they all thought of a worse situation.

  That so-called safety video must have been taken by the man who kidnapped her and threatened her!

  Lu Jia was still in high danger!

  Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zhou Xiuli immediately contacted the police officer in charge of this matter at the police station, and Zhang Xiaoxi quickly updated the latest developments of the incident online, asking everyone not to be diverted by the cunning criminals, but to continue to pay attention to this matter.

  However, most people didn't see the follow-up because everyone thought that the matter had come to an end because of the previous safe video. Even if a small number of people paid attention to Zhang Xiaoxi's follow-up speech, there were all kinds of different voices.

  'No way. I saw her look quite natural when she was shooting the video!'

  'Are you crazy for wanting to be famous? Are you planning to bring goods with you after returning to China?'

  'I don't think it's impossible. Otherwise, why haven't the police come forward to clarify it…Oh my God, it's so scary.'

  On the other hand, the police who received Zhou Xiuli's feedback have long realized that things are not as safe as the video said. After all, the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles has not contacted Lu Jiajia so far.

  The whole thing seemed to reveal an indescribable strangeness, and it was not like an ordinary kidnapping case.

  Lu Jia didn't forgive Phoenix so easily, because she knew that it was meaningless to continue investigating this matter.

  She had been in the middle of the night, and she had been in the middle of the night, and she had been in the middle of the night.

  But what was she going to do to get Phoenix to spill his secrets?

  Just as she was thinking about this, the truck that had been stopping and going suddenly stopped. Through the thick metal carriage, Lu Jia could vaguely hear noisy voices outside, and even a few dog barks.

  "It's a transit inspection."

  Phoenix lowered her voice and immediately turned off the flashlight that was on earlier. She leaned forward and placed her slender index finger above her lips to signal Lu Jia to be quiet. Her entire body was tense as she looked ahead.

  Lu Jia, who was originally depressed and struggling to hold her energy, also felt the tense atmosphere. She couldn't help but hold her breath and feel her heart beating non-stop in the quiet and dark environment.

  Will they be discovered?

  If they were found out, what would happen to them?

  Her body was exhausted to the extreme, but Lu Jia's spirit was forced to tense up, and her body trembled slightly due to this.

  In the next second, the back door of the truck was suddenly opened, and dazzling light shone through the gaps in the box.

  Phoenix reached out and grabbed Lu Jia's body, curling her into a small ball to avoid being discovered by the Customs Department agents.

  Lu Jia's body was forced to bend over. One of his hands pressed down on her tightly, while the other covered Lu Jia's panting mouth. The already stuffy environment heated up even more.

  Somehow, she recalled the touch between the two hooligans earlier and her body trembled subconsciously. However, Phoenix gave him a completely different feeling. His every move was obviously full of aggression, but it was just different.

  But now is not the time to think about it.

  Lu Jia's entire attention was focused on the spot where the light from the truck came in. She felt so nervous that she almost fainted.

  "Good boy, go."

  Police dogs, smaller than humans, jumped into the car, sniffing east and west.

  "Woof woof-"

  The dog, Bobby, soon picked up the scent and began barking excitedly.

  Phoenix was still calm, especially when he heard the voice of the customs agent outside. His body stiffened at first, but after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but smile and relax a little.

  Lu Jia let go of her tense hands and reached into the box filled with cans. She deliberately picked out a box of herring cans and opened a crack. She stood up nimbly and quickly placed it in the middle of the box.

  Jack, who was outside the car, heard Bobby's roar and quickly got into the car." What's wrong, Bobby? Is there a situation?"

  Therefore, he also got into the car. He raised his gun in one hand and held a flashlight under the gun in the other. He illuminated the interior environment to check. However, before he could take two steps, Jack smelled a strange smell and quickly located his gaze. He saw a box of herring cans on the ground in the car fall to the ground, leaking a small amount of juice.

  "Eh!"

  The smell wasn't acceptable to everyone. It was the canned herring that Jakes hated most in his life. Even trained police dogs would faint from the smell.

  While driving, the can of herring just happened to fall out of the box?

  No... No.

  Jack keenly sensed that something was wrong, but soon, he raised his eyebrows as if he realized something. He smiled and lowered his hands, pulling Bobby, who was still trying to charge forward.

  "Don't go in, stupid dog. Do you want me to be smoked to death?"

  Senior agent Mahoney just got called away by another black agent, and now is the perfect time.

  Jack immediately led poor Bobby out of the truck. The rare smile on his face quickly disappeared and turned into a dead face. He revealed a little disgust and explained to his colleagues beside him," There's a can of herring inside that's overturned. It stinks. Let them go!"

  After saying that, he walked to the front of the car and let the driver drive away." Let's go. There's no problem, but you have to clean the car when the time comes. There are cans overturned."

  The driver glanced at Torres, who was nervous all over, and guessed something. However, he was experienced. He smiled and greeted the Customs Department agent beside him before stepping on the accelerator and quickly leaving.

  As the door closed again, Phoenix relaxed her defenses upon hearing that the vehicle had restarted. Lu Jia couldn't help but sigh in relief.

  After experiencing so many things, she was really too tired. Even if it was just a small disturbance, it was enough to make her worry.

  However, the stench in the air made her feel suffocated, and the heat in the environment made the smell even more unbearable.

  Lu Jia's forehead was covered in sweat, and she even felt nauseous. Exhausted, she wanted to take off her coat to relieve the heat and discomfort on her body, but when she raised her hand and touched the zipper on the top of her mountaineering suit, memories came to her again like nightmares. The stickiness on her chest and neck still lingered, slowly killing her.

  It was as if a scar was slowly rotting and stinking. Lu Jia knew that she should get rid of those residual sensations as soon as possible, but she couldn't face it no matter how hard she tried.

  It turned out that Lu Jia just thought that she could face everything calmly and coldly, but in fact, that was not the case. She cared so much that she was going crazy!

  However, she had to face all of this eventually.

  Finally, Lu Jia took out a tissue from her pocket. Then, she turned around and fixed her blurry gaze on Phoenix, who was shrouded in darkness. She asked," Do you have any water?"

  Phoenix didn't say anything. Instead, she reached out and fumbled for her backpack. She took out a bottle of mineral water from her side pocket and reached out in the dark.

  "Yes, here it is."

  However, there was no light source in the truck. Phoenix reached out his other hand and grabbed Lu Jia's hand that was coming towards him. Then, he stuffed the mineral water in his hand into her slightly cold palm.

  Perhaps realizing that the current environment was too dark, Phoenix turned on the flashlight again and stuck it on the cardboard box high up.

  The dim light fell on both of them from above, adding a gentle pale yellow filter to each other.

  Lu Jia paused for a moment and looked up at Phoenix beside her.

  However, she quickly retracted her gaze with a cold face and carefully poured some water onto the tissue. Because of the bumps in the car, she accidentally spilled some water.

  However, Lu Jia didn't care. After taking a deep breath, she unzipped her zipper and frowned in disgust. She covered her chest with a wet tissue, wanting to wipe away the traces on her body.

  A chattering voice sounded.

  Realizing what Lu Jia wanted to do, Phoenix immediately lowered his eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say anything in this stuffy, dark, and sealed space filled with the smell of canned herring.

  From the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Jia's movements. Her face was pale, and compassion and guilt had the upper hand. He really couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Lu Jia's slightly trembling hand and said mutely," Let me help you."

  Lu Jia paused, but she didn't reject him in the end.

  She looked away and glanced at the bottom of the truck. She heard the roar of the motor and felt a slight moist touch on her neck and chest.

  It's completely different than when you wipe yourself.

  "Heavier."

  Lu Jia looked up and said coldly," Do you have no strength?"

  Phoenix stopped moving. The moist tissue had already deformed slightly and stopped at the center of Lu Jia's chest.

  Under the dim light, her delicate skin was still slightly red. Phoenix's expression was complicated, but she still increased her strength.

  “……”

  Lu Jia frowned because of the pain, but she still felt that it wasn't enough. Her brain repeatedly recalled that disgusting feeling from before. No matter how intense the pain was, she couldn't completely suppress it.

  She looked at Phoenix's arm, trying to divert her attention.

  Then, Lu Jia's gaze extended to Phoenix's entire body, which was sitting cross-legged. Her thoughts couldn't help but start to diverge. Was the thing that 'they' wanted a concrete object, or was it a secret that Phoenix kept in her mind?

  Lu Jia didn't have any relevant clues at the moment, so she could only rely on her own exploration.

  Physical exploration.

  On the other hand, Phoenix's movements slowly stopped. Lu Jia suddenly noticed that his protruding throat couldn't stop trembling. Then, he clenched the tissue tightly into his fist, exposing the veins on the back of his hand and arm.

  Seeing this, Lu Jia suddenly couldn't help but laugh at herself." Isn't it dirty? Throw it away."

  As she spoke, she pried Phoenix's hand away, then pinched a corner of the tissue in disgust and threw it to the back of the carriage.

  After throwing away the eyesore, Lu Jiafu raised her eyes again and looked at the silent man in front of her. Thinking of what she was about to do to him, her heart beat like a drum, but…screw him!

  In the end, Lu Jia still made her move. Her soft little hands followed his hand and gradually went up, feeling his arm tentatively.

  Perhaps surprised by Lu Jia's behavior, Phoenix frowned." Lu?"

  Lu Jia didn't know how to explain her suspicious behavior. She felt that she was probably not far from crazy. She pulled Phoenix's big palm gently over her chest like a ghost.

  “……?!”

  "And here."

  "They touched it too."

  ……

  Her hot palm was wrapped in a fragile cloth. Lu Jia suppressed her trembling, but her mind was clear. Because she was telling the truth, the other party's rude behavior was still lingering in her mind. Lu Jia really needed Phoenix to replace this disgusting memory.

  But at the same time, she has other goals.

  However, when Lu Jia raised her eyes and met Phoenix's deep greyish blue eyes, the situation immediately exceeded her expectations.

  The man's hot and trembling breath had already reached her neck. His tall and burly body was like an extremely fierce beast, but when facing Lu Jia, his movements became extremely gentle. Her soft lips approached tentatively, leaving a fine and hot fire behind like a dragonfly touching water. It gradually formed a line, and the raging fire continued.

  Lu Jia thought that she could distract herself to find what she wanted, but her mind was blank at this moment. Only the remaining consciousness urged her to reach out and wrap her arms around Phoenix's body.

  She had already touched her pockets when Phoenix held her tightly in her arms. There was nothing there except for some essential items.

  Where else can I hide something?

  Just as his thoughts drifted out for a while, his palms gradually tightened and kneaded. Lu Jia's weak body was pressed against the corner of the truck compartment. His trembling sigh sounded beside his ears, as if his entire body had been ignited by flames. In the process of turning into ashes, it was enough to burn the air between the two of them to the point of distortion. As he continued to float upward, he arrived at the Paradise.

  Lu Jia really wanted to let go of all the burdens and pain in her heart and indulge in it without hesitation. Although the object was Caspar Phoenix, who had caused her so much pain, to be honest, he was the person Lu Jia was most familiar with in the United States, and he was also the person who made her feel the most conflicted and complicated.

  Lu Jia did not have a bad impression of him. Her intense heartbeat and downward pull were the best proof. Lu Jia could not even bear grudges against his repeated aggressive actions.

  About Caspar Phoenix, he is really mysterious, Lu Jia knows nothing, but she wants to find out all the secrets he hides.

  Her arms wrapped around Phoenix's tight waist, subconsciously wanting to hold onto anything she could, like a life-saving straw.

  However, Lu Jia eventually went against her body's honest reaction. She pulled her consciousness away with difficulty and continued to move her hands downward, trying to find what she wanted.

  Suddenly, the cold metallic touch brought Lu Jia back to her senses.

  It was casually placed on Phoenix's waist by its owner, but Lu Jia didn't dare to ignore its power. She quickly left as if she had been electrocuted. In the end, she had no choice but to place it on Phoenix's plump and sturdy buttocks.

  Whether it was related to this or not, the man's breathing became faster and faster. His soft lips had already kissed every inch of Lu Jia's neck. He raised his head and stared deeply at Lu Jia, who was still unaware of her seriousness, and kissed her lips fiercely like a hungry wolf.

  Lu Jia felt that she was about to be scalded. The suffocating feeling of falling and dying surged from all directions like a tide. Her hands gradually tightened because of the joy she couldn't get rid of.

  Phoenix's body tensed up, and her gaze seemed to materialize into physical contact.

  Unlike the last time Lu Jia slept in a big bed, this time she finally saw Phoenix's aggressiveness. She didn't know when he had squeezed his body in. His firm chest pressed against Lu Jia's soft chest tightly. If it weren't for the two layers of cloth blocking him, the gradual extension would have almost formed a complete whole with Lu Jia. As the truck shook and fluctuated, he kept rubbing against her.

  Lu Jia finally realized what kind of beast she had provoked. She immediately retracted her hands and squeezed them into their tightly pressed bodies. Her weak hands pushed each other. She had lost all ability to think, and she only subconsciously wanted to push him away and continue to ask for more.

  However, the strength of her hands was too weak. It took Phoenix a long time to realize that Lu Jia was rejecting her.

  ... she's refusing.

  Denied.

  Stop... Stop.

  Thinking of this, Phoenix took a deep breath. Even though it completely violated the animal nature engraved in human genes, fortunately, his self-control was still effective despite his slowness. In the end, he stood up and prepared to leave.

  However, at this moment, the truck suddenly encountered a huge bump. Phoenix's body uncontrollably pushed into Lu Jia, who was about to turn into a puddle of water. The distance between them became zero again amid the overlapping and unbearable low cries. The distance between their flushed faces was less than a centimeter. The flashlight fell to the ground of the truck with a bang. Under the dim and constantly rolling flashlight light source, they were caught off guard and crashed into each other's wet and deep eyes.

  "…Sorry."

  "Lu…I didn't do it on purpose."

  Lu Jia had never heard Phoenix's voice so hoarse before. She whimpered and tried not to tremble. She thought that her voice could show a strong attitude, but after she opened her mouth, she unconsciously became coquettish, as if she was acting coquettishly."... Let, let go of me!"

  Phoenix was silent. After a long period of silence, he finally moved. His strong arms bulged and he struggled to support himself against the inner wall of the truck.

  In the hot and sealed air, the warm atmosphere quickly dissipated with the help of the canned herring. However, to a certain extent, even the canned herring that was so smelly could not stop their intense chemical reaction. Lu Jia realized it later and suddenly raised her legs. She recalled the serious 'accident' that had just happened with Phoenix, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

  She was shaking again, but it was completely different from what had happened before.

  Lu Jia actually... actually did such a thing to find Phoenix's secret, deliberately seducing him.

  What made her even more puzzled was that Lu Jia could not explain the completely different reaction between her current self and when she was touched by those hooligans.

  Could it be that she…wanted him too?

  Thinking of this, Lu Jia pinched herself hard. The pain quickly woke her up from her earlier flirtation.

  In fact, she could fully understand why she was temporarily confused by this man in front of her. After all, both of them were burdened with heavy psychological pressure and wanted to vent urgently. However, Caspar Phoenix was a mystery and the culprit who caused her to fall into all this. She had to stay awake at all times and definitely not have any more in-depth relationship with this man.

  It was Lu Jia's fault that she was born unlucky. The one who would sink deeper and deeper would only be herself.

  After Senior Agent Mahoney settled Daniel's matter, he quickly returned to Jacques and asked about the truck." What happened to that truck?"

  Jakes was checking out the new car, absentmindedly perfunctory."Oh, there's a can in there that's turned over. Bobby smells it."

  "Wuwuwu…"

  Bobby sat on the ground and looked at Jakes with grievance. He whimpered in protest.

  Jakes understood, but he pretended not to. Who asked Mahoney not to understand dog language?

  However, he did not expect Mahoney to be so easy to deal with. His expression immediately became extremely serious." Then, did you enter the innermost part to confirm the situation?"

  Hearing the other party's suspicion, Jack did not answer directly. His face immediately turned sour." This is the job of our Customs Department. It's already a special permission for you to stay here. Are you questioning us instead?"

  Mahoney stared into Jakes 'face, the microexpressions on his face not betraying him but expressing the anger and dissatisfaction of a suspected man.

  However, Mahoney refused to let go of any possibility. He was already so close to Phoenix, and he definitely wouldn't allow himself to miss out on him at the most critical place.

  "What's the license plate number of that car? I'll follow it to confirm it."

  Mahoney walked quickly to his car and turned to Daniel, who was following him."You stay here and watch. I'll be right back. If I don't get back to you in an hour, call the station and have them come to Tijuana."

  After saying that, he immediately got into the car.

  Jack's expression became even uglier. He threw down the leash in his hand and rushed forward to stop him, but was stopped by a few colleagues behind him." Jack! Don't be impulsive…"

  In the end, Jakes could only watch Mahoney drive off in the direction of the truck.

  Things were…terrible.
