Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 844 - 542: The Ultimate Skydiving Plan_2

"Ah, just blame it on Andrei," Feng Yi said.

After all, that guy must be up to no good, so it’s not wrongful to pin this on him.

His mind racing, Yue Gengyang said, "Since you’ve already made up your mind, I will cooperate on my part. And, regarding external communication, let me handle that as well."

Once the decision was made, everything moved quickly.

Andrei thought Feng Yi would need at least a few months to prepare, but little did he know that Feng Yi’s planned timeline was far shorter than that.

They began with preliminary training, which wasn’t long, but was highly efficient.

All the necessary documents were ready, and all required notifications had been made; it was time to take action.

In terms of altitude, Feng Yi certainly could head straight for 40,000 meters or even higher, to break some human records.

But there was no need.

This time, he just wanted to change perspectives, to sense and explore meticulously—achieving the goal was what mattered. There was no need to be overly extravagant; the height Andrei had tried was sufficient.

After all, in the eyes of others, Feng Yi was neither a professional skydiver nor did he have ample preparation time. Matching Andrei’s previous diving altitude was plausible. Going higher would be too exaggerated and hard to explain.

Andrei was extremely surprised and shocked when he learned that Feng Yi was ready to skydive!

And he immediately contacted the person sent to provide guidance.

"You’re sure about 30,000 meters?"

"It’s a manned jump, not just instruments being dropped?"

"What’s their hurry? Is Feng Yi really into extreme skydiving, or did they pay someone else to do it?"

"Is Ancestral Factory not concocting some special marketing plan?"

"Keep guiding them there, and report back to me immediately if you discover anything new!"

After contacting the person sent to provide guidance, Andrei made a few more calls to confirm that Yue Gengyang was still at the Ancestral Factory and wasn’t acting unusually, with the site’s senior management being as usual.

"Strange, what are they really up to?"

Andrei even thought of going to the site to see for himself!

But finding out that the person he’d sent was also being watched, he discarded the idea and simply instructed his people to keep monitoring the situation there.

The location chosen for Feng Yi Team’s extreme skydiving plan was a deserted area.

Yue Gengyang and his wife expressed their wishes to come over, but Feng Yi persuaded them to stay at the headquarters of Ancestral Factory.

However, the butler came. He couldn’t be dissuaded.

Not only did he arrive in person, but the butler also employed a team of reliable "security service personnel." Those people didn’t follow closely, however; they stayed at a distance. This arrangement ensured the privacy of their conversations while also being able to act swiftly should any abnormal situation arise.

Wu was in the adjacent RV, checking the medical supplies and equipment.

Bing entered the RV and poured himself half a glass of water. There was nothing he could do to assist Feng Yi at the moment, so he went back to tidy up the kitchen, which would be immediately needed after Feng Yi’s safe landing.

Feng Yi had already explained to them the reasons behind this extreme skydiving plan. This meant that he would need to expend a lot of energy during the descent.

To Bing, this meant a significant demand for energy replenishment after a safe landing.

After tidying up, Bing stepped out of the kitchen and saw Wu calmly arranging the medical kit. Bing asked him,

"Aren’t you worried?"

"Who should I be worried about?" Wu retorted.

Bing was taken aback and suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

Ah... that question...

In another RV not far from this one, the person Andrei had sent to provide training was all here.

Today’s skydiving operation, after completing the preliminary work, they were invited by Feng Yi’s people to stay inside this RV.

They didn’t insist. They knew that the big shots had many concerns and would handle some key issues with their own people, not trusting others’ recommendations too much.

Having concerns was appropriate, anyway, as long as the money was in place. They had already received a considerable amount of gratuity and were very satisfied.

The rest of the work was taken over by the Feng Yi Team, and they just sat by, drinking coffee and playing cards, ready to answer questions when necessary.

It could be said that their mission was quite easy this time.

But still, there was pressure in their hearts.

They had provided detailed equipment settings based on Feng Yi’s height, weight, and so on, but... it seemed that Feng Yi’s team had other plans and put their recommendations aside.

They couldn’t get ahold of Feng Yi’s medical report nor were they able to conduct psychological counseling for Feng Yi, but they did make responsible suggestions.

The rich emotional factors of humans could be influenced by the changes in the high-altitude environment as they approached closer to space. No one knew into what these psychological pressures could mutate.

Therefore, for amateurs who hadn’t undergone professional training, they had psychological considerations and counseling in mind.

Even if it wasn’t space travel, and even if not for long-duration spaceflights, they believed this was a necessary procedure.

Feng Yi’s team accepted the suggestion, but they would hire their own psychologist.

That also made sense. The privacy of the bosses wasn’t something that could be shared casually.

Just like Andrei, while he was generally considered crazy and reckless, the real state of Andrei’s psyche and physique wasn’t known to outsiders. At least not while Andrei was alive.

"Andrei had said, as long as we do our job well, have Feng Yi sign all the necessary agreements, keep our responsibilities clear, we don’t need to worry about anything else. If something happens, it’s not our responsibility."

"Of course, I understand, I’m just curious about Feng Yi’s physical fitness—I heard it’s very strong!"

"No matter how strong the human body is, it becomes pitifully fragile when facing such extreme sports!"

"Why take the risk of doing such a thing personally?"

"That’s why I say, this young but wealthy big shot, is very much like Andrei in his early days."

What kind of mind would make one undertake such a venture?

They were talking when Andrei’s call came through.

"Has he gone up to the sky?" Andrei asked.

The person answering the call looked out the window:

"Yes, he has ascended, but he hasn’t reached the designated altitude yet, he hasn’t started skydiving."

"Are you sure the person who entered the cabin before ascending was Feng Yi?" Andrei asked again.

"Uh...to be honest, we couldn’t see; we were restricted to an RV and couldn’t clearly see who it was that entered the cabin. However, during the preliminary preparations, all equipment was adjusted according to Feng Yi’s size, and the custom-made parachute suit as well. Additionally, their people seemed very anxious."

Not far from the RV.

Even after Feng Yi had entered the space capsule and ascended, they were still standing here, feeling unsettled.

Worry, of course, was very much present.

They also didn’t know if Feng Yi remembered all the skydiving techniques and operational procedures.

Jia, with a worried expression, couldn’t help asking in a low voice, "What if he forgets to open his parachute, or if the automatic chute opening fails?"

Everyone present fell silent. Then sharp looks were cast their way.

After the silence, it was A’que who rarely responded first.

A’que’s emotions seemed not to fluctuate much, and he spoke with a calm and steady voice:

"If he forgets to open his parachute, it means he is in a non... typical state. If the landing site happens to be right here, and if we don’t move away in time, he might not be in mortal danger, but everyone standing here could likely be gone."
