Ning Ran was stumped. Despite the life-threatening circumstances, Poker Face is still as snarky as ever.

“The sun is shining brightly outside now. Would I burst into flames the moment I get out of the car before I even have the opportunity to jump into the lake?” Ning Ran asked.

“That's not going to happen. There's no material in this world that can ignite under such low temperatures,” Nan Chen refuted her.

“I'm not so sure about that, as Livingsfill is situated in the highlands. We might not ignite at normal altitude, but the same might not apply here. What if it really happens?” Ning Ran argued.

Her point did make sense to Nan Chen. As his specialty was economics and not chemistry, he figured that Ning Ran's concern might actually be valid.

“Don't worry. I know what to do. There's no way I'm going to let you catch fire. By the way, do you know how to swim?” Nan Chen asked.

Ning Ran instantly knew what was on his mind. “Are you planning to drive the car into the water so that we don't have to get out?”

“Yes, unless you have a better idea?” Nan Chen threw the question back at her.

Ning Ran answered candidly, “No, I'll do as you say. It's just that we don't know how deep the water is.”

“That's why I'm asking you whether you know how to swim.”

“A little...”

“What does that even mean? Do you know or not?”

“I roughly do, but I haven't swum in a long time, so I don't know how far I can go.” Ning Ran finally provided a precise answer.

“That'll suffice.”

In the midst of their conversation, they had arrived by the pond. It was naturally formed from water that gathered in a land depression due to the area being surrounded by mountains. From its murky color, it was obvious that the water wasn't clean.

Meanwhile, Qiao Zhan had caught up to them in his car. However, he kept his distance at Nan Chen's instruction.

After circling the area, the latter found a spot that looked shallow and gradually drove their car into the water.
