"Don't jump off the building! No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can get through them as long as you hold on!"
“If you encounter a problem that you can’t overcome, you can talk to everyone and they will help you.”
"The country will not give up on you!"
One by one, the onlookers began to shout towards the building.
Everyone is trying their best to save her life.
A shrill voice suddenly rang out.
"If you want to jump, do it faster! Don't waste everyone's time here."
Everyone glared at the person who spoke.
He was a middle-aged man with a look of disdain on his face. "Don't worry, he won't dare to jump. He must be another person who wants to gain attention by pretending to jump off a building. He's crazy about making money. There are all kinds of people these days!"
"That's impossible. It's so high up that it makes me dizzy just looking at it. I definitely wouldn't dare to stand up there."
"That's right, and the people who come here from the hospital must have sick family members or themselves, and they all have their own difficulties."
"You guys believe this kind of sympathy-gaining rhetoric? She chose the hospital as the place to jump off the building just to get your sympathy."
"That does make sense. A while ago, there was an internet celebrity who used jumping off a building as a gimmick and attracted nearly a million followers."
“That internet celebrity seems to still be promoting products.”
Seeing that the public's focus was being led further and further astray, I grabbed the medicine bag in my hand and threw it at the middle-aged man's face, unable to bear it any longer!
The man was stunned by the beating, and then he flew into a rage, "Are you fucking sick? Why are you hitting me?"
"Go wash your mouth if you smell bad. Regardless of whether this is true or not, if you say something like this and someone really jumps down, who will be held responsible? Can you afford to take a life?"
A trace of guilt flashed across the man's face, but he quickly became confident and said, "Even if he really jumped, it was because he wanted to. I didn't push him down. Besides, she didn't jump, did she? How do you know she really did? I think you're her drag!"
I said coldly, "Shut your mouth."
Look at Han Qi.
"Call the police."
Han Qi had already taken out his cell phone and made a call.
I rushed to the hospital without hesitation. Although I couldn't see the man's face clearly, for some reason I had a strong premonition that the person on the roof must be Li Juan whom I had just met.
Even if it wasn't him, I couldn't watch a living person jump right in front of me.
When I ran to the top of the building, I saw the figure clearly before I could even catch my breath.
“…Li Juan!”
Li Juan turned around and looked at me, smiling sadly, "Are you here to urge me to jump too?"
"Of course not!" She really heard what was said downstairs. I knew that Li Juan couldn't stand any stimulation at this moment and didn't dare to approach rashly.
I stood there and said to her, "Those people are indifferent to your situation and are just talking nonsense. They don't know your difficulties and don't have any bad intentions. They just say that because they have been cheated so many times."
"But I believe you would never do such a thing, and I also know why you chose this method. Li Juan, don't jump."
Li Juan stood on the edge. The strong wind blew past, making her clothes rustle, and her body began to shake.
She is too thin.
I was even worried that a gust of wind might blow her off.
"Li Juan, I remember you just said you have two children at home. Think about them. They are still young and can't live without you."
Li Juan burst into tears. "But what can I do? I'm just an uneducated housewife. I can't even find a job. I have two children at home who need my care, and a paralyzed old man who needs my attention. Dazhu works hard outside to earn money, but we haven't saved a penny in all these years. Now he's sick, and the little money we had left has been taken away."
She suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself.
"It's my fault. I'm useless. I can't keep the money, and I can't keep Dazhu either."
I knew she was very emotional at the moment, and it was very likely that a single word would irritate her and she would jump without hesitation.
I had to choose my words carefully. "I know you must be feeling very painful right now. I've been through the same thing as you, and I understand you."
Li Juan's voice trembled. "Same thing?"
"My younger brother has a congenital heart disease and has been living in the hospital for many years. After my mother passed away, my father married a new woman and took away the money for my brother's treatment. I was very miserable during that time."
Li Juan seemed to be more stable. "Then how did you survive?"
"I just thought, if I'm gone, what will happen to my brother?"
Li Juan slowly lowered her head.
I whispered, "Don't be impulsive, don't give up on your life. As long as you're alive, there's hope. Your husband is relying on you now. As long as you're still here, he has the motivation to live."
Li Juan wiped her eyes and said, "But I really have no choice. Dazhu was injured while working on the construction site, but I didn't get a penny of compensation. I can't afford such a huge medical bill..."
My heart skipped a beat, and I said in a tone that wouldn't startle her, "Since you were injured at the construction site, you should definitely get compensation. It's just that these things need to be negotiated. If you don't have experience and are worried about not being able to reach an agreement, I can help you, but the prerequisite is that you survive and take me to learn about your family's story."
Hope finally reappeared in Li Juan's desperate eyes, "Can you really help me?"
"I'm already standing here. If I want to stay out of this, there's no need to come over."
I didn't try to get close to her, but just relaxed my body to let her know that I posed no threat to her.
Li Juan choked up and said, "I consulted a lawyer, but as soon as they heard about the Gu Group, they were completely unwilling to help me..."
I said in a deep voice, "No matter what group it is, I will do what I promised you. If I fail to do it by then, it won't be too late for you to jump off the building."
"At least come down now, because you still have some hope. If you jump now, it means you have given up the hope of your husband's survival. Can you bear to do that?"
Li Juan was finally persuaded by me and came over tremblingly. Only then did I slowly reach out and grab her arm.
Han Qi was watching us at the door.
Slowly gave me a thumbs up.
I smiled bitterly. Actually, I was also very scared just now. If Li Juan really jumped in front of me, I couldn’t even imagine how I would face this memory in the future.
Fortunately, I succeeded.
We sent Li Juan back to her husband's ward. To be on the safe side, I took a look at the card at the end of the bed before going in.
The patient's name was written on it: Wang Dazhu.
