As soon as she saw it, Yang Li saw a thin figure standing on the wall of the rooftop. The wind on the rooftop was blowing, making Yao Lanlan's already thin figure even more shaky.
Seeing this scene, Yang Li's heart was in her throat. She could only hold her breath, stand on tiptoe, and try not to make any sound, so as not to scare Yao Lanlan by mistake.
When Yang Li was two meters away from the corner, she stopped, lowered her voice, and asked in the most gentle voice she had ever used, "Can you come back with me? We can discuss anything slowly."
Huh—huh—
The wind blew past, leaving nothing behind except two people standing opposite each other.
Seeing Yao Lanlan still standing silently on the half wall, looking at the sky with empty eyes, as if no words could stir up any waves in her, Yang Li was secretly anxious.
She planned to approach the other person slowly without leaving any trace, and then pull him down.
But for some reason, when Yang Lidang took a step forward, Yao Lanlan seemed to have sensed her thoughts. She hadn't made any move just now, but she turned around and said without a trace of emotion: "Don't come over."
As she said this, the wind suddenly blew harder, and Yao Lanlan's skirt was blown everywhere, as if she was about to fall. This scared Yang Li so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't go over there, and you mustn't move!"
Seeing that Yao Lanlan really didn't move, Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Yao Lanlan suddenly said, "You and I are just strangers. I am not worthy of your concern. Go back."
"No! How can I just stand by and watch someone die when they see him jumping off a building? Besides, I was the one who saved you. If you jump off a building, I will be the first one to be blamed. It would be terrible if I was accused of murder..."
Yang Li just said it casually, not wanting Yao Lanlan to jump off the building, but after hearing what she said, she actually started to think about it seriously.
"That's true. You saved me before, and I can't repay you with hatred. So, after you leave, I'll jump off the building."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Li immediately felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Can you discuss when to jump off a building? This is not playing house. However, this also shows that the other party is a kind girl.
This made Yang Li more determined to help the other party.
Yang Li asked, "I can leave, but can I ask you, do you have any relatives? If so, could you give me their contact information so I can contact them to collect your body?"
When her family was mentioned, Yao Lanlan's eyes moved and were no longer as empty as before.
Yao Lanlan kept murmuring: "Family..."
Her family wasn't here, not at all.
Seeing that this question was effective, Yang Li continued, "Yes, if your family didn't know what happened to you until they died, wouldn't that be very cruel to them?"
There was another silence, and Yang Li waited patiently until Yao Lanlan spoke again: "I can't tell them these things. They are too old to bear it."
Yao Lanlan's parents are just ordinary farmers. They worked hard to send Yao Lanlan to college. If they knew that their daughter jumped off the building for unknown reasons right after graduation, they would definitely not be able to accept it.
This is also the reason why Yao Lanlan didn't tell her parents anything about what happened to her.
She just wanted to die peacefully by herself and get rid of the current pain as soon as possible.
Yang Li noticed that Yao Lanlan was still concerned about her family, so she used this to persuade her, "You're still so young, there's nothing you can't overcome. Just think about your parents. If they knew you were dead, they'd be in tears all day long, and they'd never be happy again for the rest of their lives... Although I don't know what happened to you, I'm sure those who hurt you would laugh at you mercilessly after learning about your suicide. Do you really want to cause your loved ones pain and your enemies joy?"
Yao Lanlan's heart trembled at the mention of this, but she said in despair, "I don't want to die like a coward, but I can't stand up to those bastards. They hurt me and made me dirty, but I can't even argue with them. What's the point of me living in this world? I might as well die!"
Seeing Yao Lanlan's agitation, Yang Li was afraid that she might jump out of control, so she quickly comforted her: "That's not the case. If you want, I can help you. I'm a reporter from M Agency. I can help you expose this matter and get them punished by law!"
Yao Lanlan hesitated: "Is it really possible?"
"Of course! You have to trust me! Come down first and tell me what happened to you. I promise to do my best to help you!"
Yang Li had a firm expression and stretched out her hand towards Yao Lanlan who was halfway up the wall.
Yao Lanlan was conflicted, not knowing whether she should believe her.
Yao Lanlan had also heard of M Agency, a super large company that integrated newspapers, television stations, and websites, and was quite influential in the news industry. If M Agency could really help her expose this matter, perhaps her case would really turn around, and the people who hurt her would be sent to prison and receive the punishment they deserved.
But if she just died quietly, then this case would become an unsolved case. After her death, the bad guys would still be at large and live a happy life. The only ones who would feel pain for her death would be her parents, and the whole family would be torn apart.
This situation was definitely not the result she wanted.
But now, her life in the world is so painful. Whenever she walks on the street, she feels as if others are looking at her with strange eyes. It seems that everyone on the street knows that she has been sexually assaulted and points fingers at her in private.
She simply couldn't stand this kind of mental torture.
As time passed, Yang Li's hands, which were raised in the air, began to feel sore, but she didn't show it at all. She was still gritting her teeth and persevering, her expression still so gentle and firm.
Seeing the other party's persistence, in the end, in this silent confrontation, Yao Lanlan was moved by the other party's patience and began to reach out her hand to respond to the other party.
Maybe Yang Li can really bring those bad guys to justice and she can be redeemed.
Then believe in this world again.
When Yao Lanlan took Yang Li's hand, Yang Li held her tightly, as if giving her strength.
Following this force, Yao Lanlan was finally pulled back into the abyss of despair.
