Chapter 165 - Struggle and despair (2/2)

Sitting outside the trauma room, Xiao Luo stared at the dried blood stains from Sun Yu’s injuries, still visible on the ground. He had reset his dislocated left arm himself. As long as he didn’t exert any pressure, it would be fine. A few days of rest would suffice.

With his hands on his head, he sat there a despondent figure. There was so much going through his mind at the moment.

He kept recalling everything that happened since that night. From Hu Shuirong’s reminder to Sun Yu’s rejection… everything pointed towards a sinister intrigue that he needed to unravel. What kind of unspeakable suffering would make a girl choose to jump off the building to end her life?

Xiao Luo couldn’t understand any of it. He only knew that He Ruanliang was involved in this somehow.

“Brother!”

After receiving the news, Xiao Ruyi and Tang Ren rushed over immediately. They were breathing hard by the time they got to him.

“Brother, what happened exactly? Why did Yuyu try to commit suicide?” Xiao Ruyi asked anxiously.

Xiao Luo did not answer her, but he immediately demanded of her, “Get Hu Shuirong over here!”

Despite not knowing what was going on, Tang Ren immediately replied, “I will get her.”

Then, he turned and immediately left.

“How could this be, how could this be…”

Xiao Ruyi looked at the closed door of the trauma room and muttered to herself. Her mind was in total confusion.

…

…

Elsewhere, the site where Sun Yu had jumped off had been cordoned off by the Jingcha, specifically its investigation department.

“Team leader Gu, according to a certain taxi driver’s account, the girl who jumped off the building has been sent to People’s Hospital for treatment. He also responded to a situation in which a strange male pa.s.senger was ferried from Gong Village in Taihe District. The pa.s.senger’s destination was this hotel. Also, the male pa.s.senger kept telling him to drive faster and even threatened him to run the red lights. He seemed to know the girl was going to jump off the building, and the girl was also taken to the hospital by this same male pa.s.senger.”

J member w.a.n.g Hanxuan reported the situation to Gu Qianlin.

“Gong Village?”

Gu Qianlin raised her eyebrows in a dramatic arch. She was quite familiar with the name of that place. This was because the number one suspect of the “September 12 Incident”, Xiao Luo, lived there. She then looked up at the hotel, it was a dozen floors high. She thought to herself, “jumping from the top of this building would have made anyone minced meat. Could it be possible to save anyone?”

“Have you checked the ident.i.ty of the jumper?”

“Her name is Sun Yu, a guest of this hotel.”

w.a.n.g Hanxuan nodded and replied, “She is a nurse in the People’s Hospital. In addition, residual traces of crystal meth and other drugs were found in the room she stayed in.”

“Crystal meth and other drugs?”

Gu Qianlin furrowed her brows intently. Drugs had always been the target of this country’s crackdown. All law enforcement personnel were extremely sensitive to these words.

“That’s correct!”

w.a.n.g Hanxuan said, “There was also a middle-aged man who had entered the room with her. The investigation team is looking for his information based on what we have picked out in the surveillance video. I believe there will be results soon. Something worth mentioning as well is that he has had s.e.xual intercourse with the girl in the room. The woman who jumped off the building had likely exchanged her body for crystal meth and drugs from the middle-aged man.”

Hearing this, Gu Qianlin, who was familiar with similar cases, immediately a.s.sumed the reason for the girl’s suicide by jumping off the building.

The girl must have been addicted to drugs. Addicts usually appear to live a normal life and behave like the average person going about their daily lives, but once the drug craving kicks in, their torment would become unbearable. To satisfy their needs, they’d not only sell their bodies but would not hesitate to even break their arm in exchange for drugs.

Making the decision to commit suicide!

This only showed how desperate the girl to break free from her drug addiction. Unfortunately, each time the drug-induced craving came, she would sink again. Each time she fell, she would experience a deeper sense of guilt and shame. It was a continuous path down a dark, living h.e.l.l.

No matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to break free from their habit.

Her eyes teared slightly and turned reddish. She knew the struggle and despair this girl had to endure.
