Chapter 35: Was he too late to save Xi Yuan?
On the day Xi Yuan jumped off the building, she and Fan Ying still attended classes as usual. Xi Yuan forced a smile, but she usually had a very low sense of presence and naturally buried her emotions deep in her heart.
Even if Fan Ying noticed it, she would just make an excuse. But on this day, Xi Yuan did not eat breakfast as usual.
Fan Ying was worried that Xi Yuan would collapse, so she secretly brought two buns into school. Xi Yuan continued to read the text with the class representative as usual, and nothing seemed wrong.
Things took a turn for the worse during that morning self-study class. Xi Yuan had severe abdominal pain, probably because she had skipped breakfast. Fan Ying stuffed a bun into her desk hole and whispered to her, "Eat something, it's not good to overwork your stomach."
"Thank you, Sister Yingying." Xi Yuan said.
Fan Ying was slightly stunned. She had never heard Xi Yuan call her like that at school.
Instead, she felt uneasy. She reached out to touch Xi Yuan's forehead and asked, "Do you have a fever?"
"No, don't worry, Sister Yingying." Xi Yuan lowered her head. She picked up the hot buns and ate several bites in front of Fan Ying.
"Be good, I'll go to the supermarket and buy you some bread and your favorite puffs later." Fan Ying rubbed her head and felt that her Yuanyuan was in a bad mood.
Xi Yuan nodded, and after enduring the pain for a while, she straightened up and continued to read. She would occasionally be distracted, and during these moments she would always tell Fan Ying how to use her notes.
Although I know Fan Ying may not use it.
This situation continues until the 20-minute break at the end of class, and the main class resumes 20 minutes later.
During the break, Fan Ying went to the supermarket next to the cafeteria and bought some of Xi Yuan's favorite foods.
Xi Yuan stood up slowly, and on the way to the gifted class, she stood there in a daze, her eyes following Xia Qiu's every move.
She held the white paper tightly in her hand and walked calmly towards the stairs next to the gifted class. Soon, she reached the rooftop.
The autumn wind was blowing, she sat at the railing, holding a piece of white paper in her hand, on which was written a confession, not a suicide note. This was the only thing she could leave for justice.
She was blown by the chilly autumn wind for about twenty minutes, and her fair skin began to turn dark purple. The person who discovered her standing on the rooftop was none other than her classmate on the sixth floor.
They noticed that someone had gone up to the rooftop and never came down.
They quickly called the teacher. Ye Shao knew that the person standing on the rooftop was from his class, so he rushed to the scene without stopping.
Ye Shao called out to Xi Yuan, "Let's talk about anything. Whether you have a lot of pressure from studying or something else, the teacher can help you relieve the burden. Xi Yuan, don't do anything stupid."
Everyone tried to persuade her, including the principal who had rushed over. Xi Yuan, with tears in her eyes, stood up slowly with her back to them.
The other students started screaming. Ye Shao was afraid that this action would agitate Xi Yuan, so he sent the other students away, leaving only him and Xi Yuan.
Ye Shao said, "What are you worried about? The teacher can help you. Think about your classmates and your deskmate. You and Fan Ying are so close. Are you having a conflict? Talk to the teacher..."
Xi Yuan didn't say a word.
Before the police arrived, Ye Shaosi did not dare to move, and he tried to influence Xi Yuan.
Xi Yuan's suicide by jumping off the building shocked all the students in the building, including Fan Ying who had just returned from the supermarket.
Fan Ying was obviously numb for a moment, her hands and feet suddenly became limp, and her mind was blank. She held the handrail and rushed straight to the rooftop.
"Xi Yuan!" Fan Ying climbed to the rooftop with red eyes. She was heartbroken. Her fingers tightly grasped the door handle of the rooftop. The smell of rust came to her. "Xi Yuan! Come back..."
Xi Yuan raised her head slightly and held back her tears.
Fan Ying held up the things she bought, panting and pleading, with a sobbing voice, "I brought them all back to you. If I made you angry or you are unhappy, you can tell me. Don't stand on such a high position, okay?"
"No, no." Xi Yuan shook her head and looked at Fan Ying resolutely. There were too many things she couldn't express, and everything she wanted to say was on that piece of white paper.
She was never one to express herself, but when she looked at Fan Ying, she couldn't hold back her tears.
It all happened too suddenly. Fan Ying hadn't recovered from the whole incident. She could only kneel forward step by step and beg Xi Yuan not to do anything stupid.
Fan Ying was wearing the same uniform skirt as her. She said word by word, "Yuanyuan, please, I can't live without you... Please, come down first, and we can discuss anything, okay?"
Xi Yuan's expression was painful. She didn't look forward to campus life at all. A terrible gangster incident even made her despair.
She spoke so softly that no one present could hear her.
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Fan Ying tried to use her past happiness to wake up the unconscious Xi Yuan, but she had tried every trick in her power.
In front of the teacher, Fan Ying said that she loved Xi Yuan. If Xi Yuan had no home in this life, she would give Xi Yuan a home. If Xi Yuan had no relatives in this life, she would become her lover.
Xi Yuan nodded while crying. She saw that Fan Ying's knees were scratched and bleeding. Tears welled up in her eyes and she stammered, asking Fan Ying not to kneel, saying that she felt bad.
Fan Ying propped herself up obediently. The moment she lowered her head, she heard Ye Shao's hoarse voice. When she raised her head again, she could only see Xi Yuan's flowing hair.
Fan Ying suddenly tried to grab Xi Yuan. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she shouted hoarsely, "Xi Yuan!!"
I saw my lover jumping off the building. There was no slow motion like in TV dramas. It only took a few seconds for Xi Yuan to jump.
Fan Ying's eyes blurred, her hands hanging in the air were cold and trembling, and Xi Yuan's small body became unclear.
When the special police arrived, the scene was chaotic for a while.
Everyone fell silent and dared not look towards the playground.
Fan Ying didn't know how she got down from the roof. The playground was cordoned off by special police. Fan Ying crossed the cordon and tried to hold the lifeless Xi Yuan in her arms.
She was still holding the puff that Xi Yuan wanted, and the puff was slowly being stained with blood. Fan Ying burst into tears, but Xi Yuan refused to take her things no matter what.
The bracelet given to Xi Yuan was severely deformed.
The medical examiner pronounced him dead at the scene.
Fan Ying was forcibly dragged away and watched Xi Yuan being carried into the ambulance. The special police found a charge sheet at the location where Xi Yuan jumped from the building.
The content included Xia Qiu's "murder". Xi Yuan said that their case had not been resolved for a long time, and she knew that the only way to convict a rich kid was to kill him.
She wanted to write down Xia Qiu's crimes in this book.
She wrote that Xia Qiu had clearly hired the thugs to harm them, and the thugs were attracted by her beauty and molested her. Even though Yu Zhao helped in time, Xi Yuan developed many mental problems within just a few days.
She often dreams of those strong men's dirty hands wandering on her body. She is so scared that it is both a dream and reality.
The police investigating the case immediately arrested Xia Qiu.
This is when Shen Wuhuai saw the scene where Xia Qiu was arrested. He looked at the ambulance which had not yet left, and he stared blankly at Xi Yuan inside the ambulance.
He couldn't see the bottom.
Shen Wuhuai felt indescribable pain in his heart. Why did Xi Yuan give up her life so easily... He turned around and was about to leave, but saw Yu Zhao not far away.
Yu Zhao stood there, listening blankly to the voices of his classmates passing by. It was the Xi Yuan he knew, who had completely left this world.
Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously. He was at a loss as to how it could become like this. The wound on his abdomen was still hurting. This wound was a symbol of his rescue of Xi Yuan and his fight with others.
This also symbolizes that he saved a life.
Shen Wuhuai walked towards Yu Zhao.
But for some reason, Xi Yuan left them.
Yu Zhao couldn't control his tears, and the hot tears rolled down his cold cheeks.
"Zhao Zhao." Shen Wuhuai took a step forward with a trembling voice. He raised his hand to wipe away Yu Zhao's tears.
"Shen Wuhuai, Xi Yuan she..." Yu Zhao had accepted this fact long ago, but he still confirmed it with Shen Wuhuai over and over again.
Facts cannot be changed.
Yu Zhao's nose felt sore. He recalled whether there were any mistakes in the process of rescuing the man. He asked Shen Wuhuai if he rescued the man too late or left too late.
Shen Wuhuai hugged Yu Zhao gently from a distance, "Don't be afraid, the police will give you the result. It's not your fault, it's not your problem."
He cried softly, "Why did it become like this? It shouldn't be like this. It was fine yesterday..."
There are many ways for life to end, but Yu Zhao couldn't accept any of them. When he saved Xi Yuan, he just hoped that Xi Yuan could live well.
When Xi Yuan came to see him, he originally thought it was just a greeting between classmates.
It turns out that everything has a traceable path.
"I'll go and ask, don't worry. Just take good care of yourself." Shen Wuhuai patted Yu Zhao on the back. At this moment, he could not express in words how sorry he was for the deceased and how distressed he was for the living.
After the jumping incident, all students of No. 1 Middle School in the city were given three days off while the entire school reviewed the incident.
It was discovered that the incident started with a lottery, which was done by the school under the instigation of Xia Qiu. Zheng Qi's report was unsuccessful at first and he was almost expelled from the school.
Then they conducted a carpet search for evidence and found several screenshots of Zhuang Han's messages in the hands of Xia's driver. Then all these messages were sent to a cancelled account.
The account had been cancelled for several days, and the police contacted the software official to restore its user, who turned out to be Xia Qiu.
Furthermore, although the arrested strong man said nothing, the police found out through the transfer records that the money had gone to different places of origin.
After checking one by one, they were all the wives, children and young and old of that group of strong men.
This gave everyone a handle.
Because Xia Qiu was involved in so many things and also involved Xi Yuan's affairs, the case became complicated.
Three days passed quickly, and when it was time to go back to school, Wu Shi had already rushed back from abroad. She wanted to stay, but she never thought that so many things had happened in her class.
She stood on the stage and looked at the people below. There was Shen Wuhuai, whose arm had not yet healed, and next to him was Yu Zhao, who did not attend class due to injury.
Xi Yuan's seat was always vacant, Fan Ying asked for a long vacation, Zheng Qi was ordered to go home and reflect on himself, and some classmates were frightened and had psychological problems.
She confirmed many things with Ye Shao.
It doesn't matter if Wu Shi goes there, because all the bad things will happen to him once he goes there.
I am always worried during every class.
After class, Wu Shi walked to the office. She would occasionally look at the outcome of the case, but no result came out after a long time.
She calmed down and called Yu Ke.
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
"I need your secretary to investigate a case. I want it as quickly as possible."
