Chapter 8: Saving People

The moment she saw Zhao Kun, Ling Yao recognized him. She had dealt with Zhao Kun in her previous life, and Zhao Kun had helped her.

Later, she and Zhao Kun became friends, and she also heard from him about his youth. He said that he was desperate and almost jumped into the river. It was a soldier who passed by who saved him and helped him through the difficulties. However, when he became successful and wanted to repay the soldier, he learned that the soldier had died in a mission. He would go to sweep the soldier's grave every Qingming Festival.

"Master, I want to get off the car." Ling Yao carried the backpack and shouted to the driver. Since she met him in this life, it was impossible for her to watch him die without saving him.

"You can't get off here." The driver refused.

"That man is my friend. I want to persuade him." Ling Yao pointed at Zhao Kun on the bridge pier in front and said anxiously.

The driver looked at Ling Yao with doubt.

"Master, hurry up. If he really jumps down, it will be too late."

"Okay." The driver hesitated and opened the door.

Ling Yao rushed out of the car and ran to the bridge.

At the same time, a jeep was blocked by the traffic in front and stopped.

Seeing that everyone got out of the car and looked in the same direction, Lu Qingyun glanced ahead and told Xiao Liu: "Go and see what happened in front."

"Yes!" Xiao Liu opened the door and ran quickly to the front.

After a while, Xiao Liu ran back, "Report to the captain! Someone on the bridge ahead is about to jump into the river."

Lu Qingyun frowned slightly and raised his hand. His slender fingers were elegant and graceful, with distinct knuckles and hard as jade. He pushed open the car door and walked quickly forward with his long legs.

Zhao Kun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and was about to jump down.

"Zhao Kun, wait a minute!" Ling Yao shouted to Zhao Kun, stopping him from jumping down.

Zhao Kun paused, slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Ling Yao, and found that he did not know her. He turned his head again and smiled bitterly. What else could he do now except die? His wife divorced him and returned to her parents' home with their son. His father became a vegetable because of the factory incident. He also lost the workers' wages. He really had no way out now.

"Zhao Kun, don't be impulsive. Listen to me. I have a way to revive your factory. Can you come down first?" Ling Yao slowly approached Zhao Kun, waiting for the opportunity to pull him down.

Zhao Kun didn't look at Ling Yao again. He didn't believe what Ling Yao said at all.

"Zhao Kun, think about your father lying in bed, and those workers who are looking forward to your return. Do you really have the heart to disappoint them?" Seeing that Zhao Kun was indifferent, Ling Yao could only continue to persuade him.

Zhao Kun's eyes flickered, and then became dim again. What could he do? He didn't want to disappoint them, but he had already tried his best.

Ling Yao saw the opportunity, moved his feet, quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Kun, and pulled him down.

The people around were watching this scene nervously. Seeing Zhao Kun being pulled down by Ling Yao, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and applauded involuntarily.

"This girl is so brave."

"The person was finally rescued."

"I'm so moved, I can't help but shed tears."

Lu Qingyun looked at Ling Yao deeply, his thin lips slightly curved, and walked towards the military jeep.

Ling Yao held Zhao Kun tightly, not letting him climb the bridge pier again, "Listen to me, I really have a way to help you, is there a batch of drugs that will be detained by the Drug Administration? I have a way to help you get that batch of drugs approved."

Zhao Kun didn't believe it at first, but after hearing Ling Yao's words, he looked at her in confusion.

Ling Yao gave Zhao Kun a smile, "Trust me this time, okay?"

Zhao Kun looked into Ling Yao's star-like bright eyes, which flashed with confidence and determination, as if they were the most dazzling stars in the universe, emitting brilliant light in the endless darkness.

Zhao Kun inexplicably felt a surge of warmth and peace of mind in his heart. He pursed his lips and nodded gently, "Okay." Just treat it as giving himself the last chance.

Ling Yao stood up, smiled and stretched out her hand, "Get up!"

Zhao Kun hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand and held Ling Yao's hand, "Thank you!"

This moment will always remain in his heart. Whenever he thinks of it, Zhao Kun will be extremely fortunate that he believed in Ling Yao, which made his life have light and earth-shaking changes from then on.

Ling Yao and Zhao Kun walked out of the crowd side by side and came to a place with relatively few people.

"My name is Ling Yao."

"My name is Zhao Kun." Zhao Kun touched his head. Although he is much older than Ling Yao, he feels that Ling Yao is dominating him.

Ling Yao smiled faintly, "It's too late today. Give me an address and I'll find you tomorrow and tell you in detail."

"Okay." Zhao Kun nodded and told Ling Yao his home address.

"Then I'm leaving. See you tomorrow!" Ling Yao waved to Zhao Kun and turned to walk towards the bus stop. Although she didn't want to take the bus again, it would take at least three or four hours to walk back. By then, it would be almost dark and her mother would definitely be worried, so she could only endure the pain of motion sickness again.

Zhao Kun watched Ling Yao's back as she left, and only when she disappeared did he look away. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Maybe I'm crazy." But he still decided to give himself a chance.

Ling Yao was sitting on the bus, drowsy, and felt the backpack under her feet moved. She quickly opened her eyes and grabbed the other person's hand, "Put the things down."

The thief was caught by Ling Yao, not only was he not afraid, but also threatened, "Don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty." He didn't know how many times he had stolen on this bus, and the driver and the conductor turned a blind eye. Some passengers clearly saw him stealing things, but pretended not to see it, for fear that he would retaliate.

Ling Yao not only did not let go, but also increased the strength of his hand.

The thief grimaced in pain, "Can't I put it down?"

He put the things back into the backpack, and when Ling Yao let go of his hand, he pointed at Ling Yao and threatened, "Just wait for me." He was not the kind of person who would just endure a loss.

Ling Yao casually took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the thief's chest.

The thief had no time to dodge and felt a sharp pain in his chest. He wanted to beat Ling Yao in anger, but found that he could not move. He was very scared, "What did you do to me?"

Ling Yao ignored the thief, stood up, and looked at the people in the car, "Everyone, look, is there anything missing."

"Oh, my wallet is gone. There was twenty dollars in it."

"My money is gone too."

"Why is there a scratch on my pocket?"
