"Are you crazy?" Cheng's mother was shocked and angry, and felt inexplicably panicked.

Cheng's mother had Pei Zhi brought here by kidnappers in order to shut her up completely.

But Cheng's mother was just a woman; thinking about it was one thing, but making her do it was another.

Pei Zhi is a person, a living, breathing person.

The mother suddenly found it hard to bring herself to do it to someone who could talk and move.

Normally, Cheng Mu buys chickens at the market where they are slaughtered.

Cheng's mother made a demand: "As long as you promise me that you will not talk nonsense in front of Xue Lin and that you will never see him again, I will untie you."

Pei Zhizhen never expected that at the last minute, Cheng's mother would let things fall apart.

Regardless, she has to hang here today.

"You kidnapped me, and you expect me to make a guarantee? Dream on."

Pei Zhi could only try her best to provoke Cheng's mother, "I will definitely tell Cheng Xuelin everything you have done, so that Cheng Xuelin will know what kind of mother he has."

"No!" Cheng's mother shouted angrily, "You can't do this."

Pei Zhi continued to threaten, "Either you kill me right here today, or you can wait for Cheng Xuelin to break ties with you."

Cheng's mother raised her hand; her hands were trembling.

Pei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, pleading inwardly, "Please push it quickly."

If Pei Zhi hadn't lost points for taking her own life, she would have just fallen backward on her own. Why go through all this trouble?

"What, you're scared now?"

Having seen Cheng's mother for a long time, Pei Zhi couldn't push her hand away, so she could only continue to provoke her.

"Then you can just wait for your son to never come home again and become a lonely old man."

Suddenly, Cheng's mother shouted, "Shut up, shut up!"

Cheng's mother was driven to a state of near madness by the stimulation. She wanted to shut Pei Zhi up, and she wanted to push Pei Zhi down, but Cheng's mother didn't dare to.

"Want me to shut up? You can just give me a gentle push and I'll be shut up forever."

Pei Zhi coaxed gently, "Once your son is heartbroken, he won't think about me anymore. Your family will be happy and harmonious, won't that be better?"

Cheng's mother was somewhat moved, and just as her hand was about to touch Pei Zhi, the door in the stairwell was kicked open.

When the police opened the door and saw this scene, they immediately shouted, "Don't move!"

Cheng's mother was surprised to see the police and took two steps back, bumping into Pei Zhi and causing her to stumble. The railing behind her also swayed a couple of times.

The police officer immediately shouted, "Don't move! Don't move!"

Cheng's mother began to tremble uncontrollably; she knew she was doomed.

"No matter what conflicts you have, never act impulsively."

The police officer softened his voice, "Take your time talking, we'll help you resolve this."

Pei Zhi lowered her head, concealing the irritation in her eyes.

She hadn't expected the police to come, which completely disrupted her plans.

Cheng's mother was already too afraid to make a move, but if she were provoked, she might act impulsively.

The police have arrived, and it's clear that Cheng's mother is so frightened she's about to wet herself.

Having missed this opportunity, Pei Zhi knew she wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon.

Cheng's mother choked up and said, "Officer, I didn't mean to kill her, I just wanted to threaten her."

The police officer nodded repeatedly, "We know. Come down first, I'll come get you."

Pei Zhi immediately whispered, "Auntie, if the police take you away, you'll go to jail."

Going to jail?

She can't go to jail.

Cheng's mother immediately shouted excitedly, "Don't come any closer, or I'll push her down!"

Cheng's mother's mind was completely in chaos.

She regretted it, but she had nowhere else to turn.

If the police take her away, she'll go to jail. What's the point of her living then? She might as well be dead.

The police didn't dare to make any sudden moves. "Okay, we won't move, and you shouldn't act rashly either."

Panting, Cheng Xuelin climbed to the rooftop and saw a scene that horrified him: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Pei Zhi had specifically requested dumplings made by her sister-in-law today, but Jiang Qingyuan had already returned, while Pei Zhi hadn't.

Before going home, Pei Zhi went to her department to find out that classes in her department ended early today.

Everyone couldn't sit still, so they immediately went out and searched separately.

Cheng Xuelin was also brought back by Jiang Qingyuan to eat dumplings today. He ran through two streets and heard that someone had been kidnapped or something.

Cheng Xuelin, as if possessed, asked for the address and ran over.

Cheng Xuelin never expected that her mother had tied Pei Zhi up, and the two of them were now on the edge of the rooftop.

The arrival of the police had shattered Cheng's mother's defenses, and she didn't dare to lay a hand on Pei Zhi.

After the police arrived, she became even more hesitant to take any action.

After Cheng Xuelin arrived, Cheng's mother completely broke down.

“I didn’t mean to do that. I just wanted to scare her. You have to believe me.”

The policeman whispered to Cheng Xuelin, "Say a few nice words to coax your mother down first. Don't upset her; it's too dangerous."

Without a second thought, Cheng Xuelin knelt down.

"Mother, I was wrong. Please come down. Don't be impulsive. I will never see her again."

As Cheng Xuelin spoke, he began to kowtow, saying, "I will be a good son to you from now on, please don't do anything reckless."

Cheng Xuelin witnessed the most unbearable scene of Cheng's mother. Watching her son frantically kowtow, Cheng's mother couldn't help but back away.

Seeing this, Pei Zhi reached out and stopped Cheng's mother from behind to prevent her from falling.

Pei Zhi sighed softly. She hadn't expected the police to come, nor had she expected Cheng Xuelin to come as well.

Wouldn't it be too cruel for Cheng Xuelin to fall down in front of him?

Will this provoke Cheng Xuelin to the point of...?

Pei Zhi hesitated. Should she change her plans?

"Son, I'm so sorry, I haven't done my duty as a mother." Cheng's mother suddenly shouted, "In the next life, I will definitely be a good mother, please don't hold it against me."

Pei Zhi sensed something was wrong; Cheng's mother wanted to end it all.

Cheng's mother was just a woman and didn't have much courage.

Tying Pei Zhi up was already the limit for Cheng's mother; otherwise, she wouldn't have delayed for so long and hadn't dared to push Pei Zhi away.

She was caught by the police and her son, and she was no longer in her right mind.

Cheng's mother took two steps back, about to rush over the railing and jump down.

Cheng Xuelin immediately shouted, "No!"

In the critical moment, Pei Zhi shifted her body, placing herself in front of Cheng's mother.

Pei Zhi even kicked Cheng's mother hard with both feet to prevent her from falling down with her.

In the instant of weightlessness, [System, disengage from consciousness.]

Once she loses consciousness, her body falls to the ground, and Pei Zhi will not feel any pain.

In an instant, Pei Zhi detached from her body and watched her husk fall from the rooftop.

In fact, the moment Pei Zhi detached from the body, that body was already dead.

So regardless of whether falling from the roof causes fatal injuries, death is already a foregone conclusion.

Pei Zhi was still somewhat worried: "Wouldn't this count as suicide?"

The system's cold voice replied: [Not counted.]
