Chapter 1019 - Ye Jian, Die! (2/2)
“Jingjing!”
After Yao Jing fell, her parents were the ones who were screaming the most frantically. The anguished cries of Mother Yao and Father Yao slashed through the air.
Yang Heng didn’t manage to grab Ye Jian’s ankle. Everything happened too quickly. Even though he rushed over instantly, he didn’t catch Ye Jian.
“Ye Jian!”
Mrs. Tong and Princ.i.p.al Cao shouted Ye Jian’s name simultaneously. They were both anxious and panic-stricken. Mrs. Tong’s tears started flowing out too. She staggered as she rushed towards the edge of the roof.
The teachers all ran over. Deputy Commissioner Yao and his wife were at the front. They dashed to the edge of the roof at their fastest speed in this lifetime and looked down with a distraught expression.
Yao Jing fell but Ye Jian didn’t.
“Don’t release your hand, Ye Jian!”
Yang Heng didn’t know how Ye Jian managed to grab the reinforcing bar. He didn’t catch her ankle but he noticed that in the instant she fell, she grabbed the reinforcing bar with her right hand instantly.
Ye Jian knew how she would fall and how she could grab the reinforcing bar.
She didn’t fall backward directly like Yao Jing. Instead, she slid down. Other people only saw Ye Jian slipping because she got pushed by Yao Jing. She dropped down with her feet below her.
At the crucial moment, she grabbed the reinforcing bar with her right hand and held onto it tightly. Her entire wrist was pressed against the edge of the roof. It felt as though her bones would break at any moment and she would fall along with Yao Jing.
“Give me your left hand, hurry!” Yang Heng grabbed Ye Jian’s hands tightly. His handsome and fair face turned red because he used too much strength.
He was around 1.76m in height so he was still able to hold onto Ye Jian with his long arms. But, he was only able to hold onto her. He didn’t have the strength to pull her up.
Ye Jian didn’t make any sounds as she dangled in mid-air. She wasn’t afraid at all. Even if she wanted to scream… she couldn’t.
Ye Jian heard what Yang Heng said but she couldn’t see his expression. She replied, “I’m alright. I can hang on for a while.”
