Chapter 57 - Feng Ru (5) (1/2)

Three people coming from the police car's direction cut through the crowd and pushed themselves to the front line. Two were male police officers, the last one a female college student. Needless to say, two of them were the male and female leads of this world, Gu Feng and Tang Lan.

Xie Delan, the bespectacled friend of Jiang Li saw the latter and immediately gave her a piercing glare. The woman saw it and immediately showed a dark face. However, she didn't say anything, even when his other friends did the same. After all, she knew their reason. It was enough that in her heart she was clearly innocent.

”She is planning to commit suicide, my good heavens!”

Not few gasped and swallowed their saliva after hearing this exclamation from someone. As most of the eyes were looking up to the silently crying female student above, not many caught sight of a young man dressed in a white shirt and black pants running back inside.

”He Chen!” The dark blonde guy shouted in an urgent voice, but the man did not look back.

Since the voice was drowned in others' shouts, prayers, and murmurs, apart from the bandmates of that person, only Tang Lan turned her head to the entrance. Her brows were furrowed, but since she did not see the figure of her ex, she went back to exchanging glances with the male lead. The police officer looked very anxious as he talked with his fellow officers through the walkie-talkie.

Tang Lan looked up. Hiding her nervousness, she said, ”I know her. She's from the Accountancy Department. Her name is Na Yu, a sophomore student. She's a strong girl, and has many good friends and a nice family. Like the previous cases, it's weird that she suddenly wanted to do something like this.”

”It's already the fifth one this year... We must rescue her! No harm must come to her!” Gu Feng seemed very concerned about the person above. The female lead understood that it was because the man disliked seeing someone dying. To stop the current cases of suicides, they must solve the issue once and for all.

”I think we must have the place cleared and put some safety measures around in case she jumps off.”

Gu Feng sweated buckets. He and his companion ordered everyone to vacate the area so that no one would get hurt if ever the unthinkable happened. At the same time, the police officer phoned the other officers coming over to bring a landing airbag with them. When Tang Lan helped out, he threw an appreciative look before darting into the building and climbing the stairs to reach the rooftop as soon as possible.

However, before the male lead could, another person had long arrived there.

The door to the rooftop was flung open. Jiang Li appeared from the entrance, looking so pale, drenched in sweat and out of breath.

The woman who was only one stepped away from falling to her death slowly turned her head to his direction. The young man who saw her expression immediately noticed what was wrong with her.

'Damn those spooky eyes...'

Jiang Li stood still for a second. It had been a long time since he saw lifeless eyes like hers. No, actually they were not really lifeless. It was a pair of eyes that longed for life, more than anyone else. But unlike the zombies of the apocalypse world which desired to devour the living, hers only purely desired to come back to life.

Why would a living person who seemingly wanted to take her own life wish for something she already has?

The man cautiously took a few steps forward and met those weird eyes of the female student.

”Don't do that.” He said in a very serious and commanding tone. Of course, he received no reply. So he added, ”Talk to me instead. Let's have a serious discussion about our existence in this world... I'm like you.”

The female student's hair danced along with the passing breeze. The man managed to see her face clearly for a brief second and was reminded of the reason why he momentarily froze earlier.

This woman was beautiful. In fact, she was way more beautiful than the female lead. For a second he wondered if this was the reason why she died. However, that thought got thrown somewhere far away. After all, the real reason he fell into a daze was that she really looked like someone he met not long ago.
