Qin Xue and Han Yan had just arrived on the rooftop and hadn't even caught their breath when they saw Zhou Jin walking towards the edge, preparing to jump.
They were terrified. In an instant, they forgot all their exhaustion and rushed over to grab him.
The students below breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, they had caught it.
Qin Xue grabbed Zhou Jin's hand, her whole body suspended in mid-air, her feet hooked on the railing. Han Yan held Qin Xue's feet with both hands.
Qin Xue, still shaken, shouted, "You idiot, why would you do something so foolish? Shi Xi said the missing surveillance video has been found, and your innocence will be proven soon."
Han Yan pulled them up with all his might, his face flushed from exhaustion. "Shi Xi just found someone who can restore the surveillance video. I was just about to tell you, but who knew you, you bookworm, would actually come here to commit suicide."
"Do you know that Shi Xi suffers from heart disease and cannot engage in strenuous exercise? For you, she ran from the fifth floor to the sixteenth floor, and then to the rooftop. Wasn't that nearly killing her?"
Zhou Jin hurriedly asked, "How is Xiao Xi?"
Qin Xue gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know how the fairy is doing now, but if we don't try to climb up, we'll all fall. I can't hold on much longer."
Zhou Jin said guiltily, "I'm sorry. Brother Qin, let go. Brother Yan can pull you up, but if you pull me, you'll drag both of you down with you."
"Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting now?" Qin Xue roared.
"Why aren't the rescuers here yet? They always fail us at crucial moments."
Zhou Jin didn't dare to struggle and fall, afraid of pulling them all down with him.
"Ah—" Zhou Jin and Qin Xue slid down a little.
"Brother Yan, stay still, don't move, please don't move, I'm scared." Qin Xue's voice trembled.
Han Yan's upper body was already dangling in the air. "I... I don't want to move either. I want to be steady, but... but I'm about to... can't hold on anymore—"
After saying that, all three of them slid down a bit.
At this moment, Han Yan's body was completely suspended in the air, and the weight of the three of them was concentrated on Han Yan's feet, which were hooked on the railing.
"ah--"
Zhou Jin pleaded, "Brother Qin, let go, don't insist anymore."
"Get lost, you bastard! Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about dying."
Han Yan was already speechless; it was too heavy.
Zhou Jin wanted to say something, but seeing the veins bulging on their necks and arms from using too much force, he couldn't say a word.

Shi Xi looked at the number sixteen that appeared in front of her, took a breath, and thought, "We've finally arrived."
She had just reached the top floor entrance when she saw the scene before her, and she almost couldn't catch her breath; it nearly cost her her life.
There was no one left on the top floor; all that could be seen was a pair of rare sneakers hooked on the safety railing.
Shi Xi stretched her upper body out of the safety railing and tightly hugged Zhou Jin's feet with both hands.
Zhou Jin felt someone hug his leg. When he saw it was his master, he was overjoyed for three seconds, but then panicked. "Master, let go! You can't support the weight of the three of us!"
"It's okay, the airbags below are almost inflated. Just hang in there a little longer, the rescuers will be here soon."
Before long, Shi Xi had reached her physical limit, her hands turned white, and she slid down.
All four people were suspended in mid-air, and their weight was concentrated on Shi Xi's feet.
No, I can't go on. Just hang in there a little longer.
Shi Xi tried her best to point her toes, but her feet still slowly moved away from the safety railing.
No, it won't hold anymore.
The four people fell rapidly—
Zhou Jin: "..."
Qin Xue: "Ah—"
Han Yan: "Ah—"
The shouts of the three people instantly resounded through the sky.
Shi Xi, in a coma: ...
