Chapter 233 – Jumping Inciden (2/2)
“Damn!”
Many people gasped.
Ten meters…
Eight meters…
Five meters…
Thud! A loud, dull ‘thud’ was heard.
The worker had fallen to the ground, and his head was smashed. Blood was flowing from his body. He had died on the spot.
One of the staff workers saw the body and vomited. Many people closed their eyes and turned away from the gruesome sight.
Dong Xuebing turns pale. Sister Xie is in trouble now. He still remembers what Xie Huilan had told him over the phone. “I trust you” and “save that man at all cost.” Dong Xuebing’s heart sunk and felt he had let Sister Xie’s trust down. Dong Xuebing is a prideful person, and this worker’s death will affect Sister Xie’s and his career. At this very moment, Dong Xuebing decided.
Dong Xuebing must not let this bastard die!
BACK 1 minute!
……
The scenes flashed before Dong Xuebing’s eyes.
“The reporters are outside, and they seemed to be from the City. They are taking pictures too.”
“Is the inflatable cushion ready?”
“Not yet… It will be ready soon.”
“Why is the Mayor not here yet? If she is not here within one minute, I will jump!”
Time had returned.
Dong Xuebing had wanted to go back further into the past, but he had almost used up all his BACK during the hostage situation and has less than 3 minutes left now. This is the best he can do. Dong Xuebing could feel a breeze on his checks, and this is the sign of the sudden gust of wind. The worker will lose his balance and fall from the roof soon.
Dong Xuebing must complete the task given to him by Sister Xie!
Dong Xuebing dashed forward towards the building.
Huang Li saw Dong Xuebing and shouted at him. “Chief Dong, where are you going? Don’t stand at the foot of the building! It is dangerous!”
No one was at the foot of the building, as everyone is afraid of the worker falling onto them. Dong Xuebing ignored Huang Li and looked at the inflatable cushion while running. The inflatable cushion is too big and thick, and it’s too late to get the firemen to carry it over to the spot where the worker will land. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing does not have a valid excuse to ask them to move the cushion. Dong Xuebing turns and saw the inflatable boat.
Although the inflatable boat is small and not thick enough, Dong Xuebing had no other choices.
A gust of wind appeared suddenly.
Many people behind Dong Xuebing gasped.
Dong Xuebing does not have time to look up and ran over to carry the inflatable boat to the spot where the worker will land.
One step… three steps… five steps… seven steps…
“Ah!!!!”
“He is falling!”
“Chief Dong, getaway!”
All the leaders and police officers at the scene were anxious and could not understand why Chief Dong ran over to the building. But now, everyone understood what Dong Xuebing was trying to do. They saw Dong Xuebing taking a glance up and threw the inflatable boat on the ground. But… but the boat is too small, and the chances of the worker landing on the boat are slim.
Ten meters…
Eight meters…
Five meters…
To everyone’s surprise, the worker was falling towards the inflatable boat! Everyone can see from the speed and angle of the worker falling, and he will land exactly on the inflatable boat! Chief Dong had predicted the exact spot where the worker will land!
This is unbelievable!
But now, there is another problem.
The inflatable boat is not thick enough to withstand the force of the worker falling from the seventh story, and he will still die from the impact.
The worker was screaming as he fell, and he was getting nearer and nearer to the inflatable boat on the ground.
Now, Dong Xuebing commands a lot of respect in the Public Security, and all the officers look up to him. When everyone sees Dong Xuebing is in danger, all of them got worried.
“Chief Dong, get away from there!”
“Yes! It’s too late to save him! Get away, and don’t let him fall on you!”
“Watch out!”
The officers are shouting out to Dong Xuebing at the same time, and in a split second, the worker is right before him.
Dong Xuebing cursed in his heart. Dodge? If he dodges, the worker will die for sure, and Sister Xie will be in trouble. Dong Xuebing does not know what the impact on Sister Xie’s reputation will be, but no matter what, he will risk everything to prevent this from happening. Dong Xuebing can only try his luck, and he still has slightly more than a minute of BACK left. To everyone’s surprise, Dong Xuebing stretched out both arms towards the sky. He needs to break the worker’s fall and reduce the force on the inflatable boat. This way, the boat can withstand the impact.
Everyone drew in a deep breath as they understood what Chief Dong was trying to do.
Does Chief Dong want to catch someone falling from the seventh story with his arms?! Is he crazy?!
Cao Xupeng and the other leaders were stunned. They wonder why Dong Xuebing is risking his life to do this. Is he doing this to score political points for himself? Indeed. If Dong Xuebing can save that man’s life, and helped the County Government and the Mayor settle this incident, it will be at least a third-class merit! But one mistake, you might be killed!
Chief Dong is a mad man!
Does the government service still have people who dare to risk their lives?!
Everyone knew Chief Dong is daring, but no one expected him to be so daring.
Only the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Huang Li knew Dong Xuebing’s relationship with Xie Huilan, and he can understand why he is doing this. Chief Dong is not doing this for political points or his reputation. He is risking his life to prevent Xie Huilan from getting into trouble, and Huang Li was touched by his actions. He felt Dong Xuebing was not worthy enough for Xie Huilan as the gap between both is too wide initially. But now, he changed his views on Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing is someone who dares to risk his life to protect his girlfriend, and Mayor Xie is the lucky one in this relationship.
One meter…
Half meter…
The worker had almost the ground.
Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth and caught the worker with both arms.
It was too fast, and Dong Xuebing had wanted to let go the moment he caught the worker. But before Dong Xuebing could even blink, the worker landed on Dong Xuebing’s arms, and the impact pulled Dong Xuebing along onto the inflatable boat. Boom! The inflatable boat could not withstand the G-force and burst. The worker’s head hit the ground and died on the spot again, and Dong Xuebing’s arms were crashed!
Dong Xuebing almost fainted from the pain. F**k! BACK 3 seconds!
Time returned.
One meter…
Half meter…
The worker’s body returned to midair.
Dong Xuebing took this opportunity to use his feet to adjust the position of the inflatable boat and lift his right arm slightly higher. This way, Dong Xuebing will be grabbing the worker’s leg first and changed the center of gravity towards the back to prevent his head from landing on the ground first. After that, Dong Xuebing’s left hand caught the worker’s back and shouted in pain. He is trying his best to slow the worker’s fall.
Boom!
The inflatable boat burst again. The position is not correct.
Although the worker did not land head-first this time, after landing on his shoulders, his head still hit the ground and died again.
BACK 3 seconds!
One time, two times… three times… four times…
Dong Xuebing bears the pain, and he finally succeeds when he almost used up his BACK. He successfully adjusted the worker’s falling position and let his butt land on the inflatable boat first. Boom!! The inflatable boat burst, and Dong Xuebing quickly move backward, withdrawing his arms from under the worker, and fell on his back.
“Arghh!!!!”
The worker screamed in pain!
The worker is not dead!
This time, the worker is still alive!
Dong Xuebing exhaled in relieved and fainted.
“Chief Dong!”
