Chapter 44: I'm about to jump

"Hello, your call is temporarily unreachable......"

Hearing this voice from the microphone for the Nth time, Wu Mian hung up the phone helplessly, feeling more and more uneasy.

Look at the time, it's eight o'clock in the evening. Since six o'clock, he has been trying to contact Chai Qing, but the other party's mobile phone is always busy, and then it is simply turned off. Although the office landline number on the business card was called, no one could be found. The person who answered the phone was a secretary of Huisheng China, who claimed that Chai Qing had not returned to the company after attending the financial forum in the afternoon, and no one knew where she had gone.

It seems that Chai Qing is in trouble nine times out of ten!

Although Wu Mian doesn't know much about financial news, according to the many information obtained from Internet searches, it is enough to analyze the general clues.

As the investment director of Huisheng China, Chai Qing is personally in charge and has full responsibility for the company's two most prominent private equity funds, in addition to participating in the company's general investment decisions. Since April this year, it has been rumored in the market that these two funds have suffered serious losses due to investment failures, which has put Chai Qing, who has just taken office, under great pressure on performance.

According to Chai Qing's speech at the forum, she is most optimistic about the prospects of the pharmaceutical sector, and asserts that it will explode in the short term, so it is speculated that she is likely to invest a lot of money in this sector, hoping to turn around the performance.

Unexpectedly, Dongjiang Pharmaceutical, the largest leading pharmaceutical company in the south, suddenly broke out in a scandal involving the manufacture and sale of counterfeit drugs, and at the same time, a number of listed pharmaceutical companies in the Pearl River Delta were also affected. As usual, the news was first disclosed by Hong Kong media and foreign media, and the local media in Dongjiang Province quickly followed up as soon as possible, which caught the entire pharmaceutical industry off guard and was involved in a huge turmoil.

In fact, tomorrow the stock prices of all pharmaceutical listed companies will fall sharply. When Wu Mian watched the stock market news at noon today, he was busy operating purchase orders and did not pay attention to the content broadcast in the second half of the news at all. But just now he rewatched the video recorded by the camera, and realized that the news mentioned the tragic performance of the pharmaceutical sector, but he didn't hear it at the time.

It can be expected that this sharp decline will not end after just one day. Referring to the previous scandals in the milk powder industry and the liquor industry, the pharmaceutical sector will definitely leak for many days, or even collapse completely, and it will be absolutely difficult to recover in the short term.

This will make Chai Qing's situation worse and fall into an even more severe predicament. It is not clear how severe it is, but judging by common sense, it is likely to be a devastating blow to her career, which will cause her to commit suicide by jumping off a building with a single thought.

Everything must be done to stop this tragedy!

Wu Mian hastily completed today's manuscript as quickly as possible, then left the office and lit a cigarette outside, and began to think carefully about the current situation.

The first question is, will Chai Qing's suicide be an "unchangeable fate"? If this is the case, no matter how hard she tries, she will not be able to save her, so tomorrow's Zhuzhou Financial Channel will broadcast the news of her suicide.

However, just now he rewatched the video, and the future news report of just ten seconds was not 100% sure that Chai Qing had committed suicide, only that it was "unconfirmed" news.

There are two possibilities, one is that Chai Qing did not commit suicide despite a major setback, and the other is that she did commit suicide, at least attempting suicide.

Wu Mian analyzes it with the intuition of a professional journalist, and the latter is far more likely. Because the last few seconds of the video showed that the Zhuzhou Finance and Economics Channel sent reporters with cameras to the door of the community where Chai Qing lived to shoot, and also interviewed the property security guard. This shows that there must have been some major accident in that community, and the content that came out of the mouth of the security guard has great news value, which is enough to confirm the rumors of Chai Qing's suicide, so it will be broadcast.

This made Wu Mian's mood even heavier, and he took a deep breath of cigarette and frowned.

Chai Qing committed suicide at midnight, only four hours away! I hope that by then she was just a "suicide attempt" and did not die.

The problem is that the way she committed suicide was by jumping off a building! This is the most difficult and tragic way to "attempt," and even if she does not die, she will probably be seriously injured or even disabled.

Fortunately, the report revealed that Chai Qing jumped off the building at her residence, and as long as she could find the door in time, she could try to save her.

But the next problem came again, Wu Mian didn't know the address of Chai Qing's house! He had just begged the secretary of Huisheng China to tell him, but the other party refused to say anything, saying that this was private information and must not be leaked.

He also tried to inquire with his colleagues at the Zhuzhou Financial Channel, but the answers of all were unclear. It seems that it was after the suicide that the station's reporters found the community based on the clues obtained from the revelations on the Internet. At this point in time, it is true that no one knows the exact address.

Fortunately, the last few seconds of that news have been switched to the scene at the entrance of the community. After Wu Mian enlarged the screenshot as much as possible and adjusted it clearly, he passed it on to several retired old-timer reporters. They have all been running social news in Zhuzhou City all their lives, and they are very familiar with every corner, and I believe they can recognize where they were filmed.

After smoking this cigarette, Wu Mian went back to the office to clean up and got off work. When he got home, Shen Yihui, who got off work an hour earlier, had already cooked the meal and put it on the table hot.

Today is still three dishes and one soup, there are meat and vegetarian, and the pattern is completely different from yesterday, which shows that the little beauty has spent a lot of effort to rectify.

Wu Mian sat down to eat after complimenting, although the dish was very delicious, but because he was worried about Chai Qing, his appetite was affected, and he put down his chopsticks after eating halfway.

"Teacher Wu, isn't today's food delicious?" Shen Yihui, who was doing hygiene, noticed that there were a lot of dishes left, and asked timidly.

"How can it be? It's delicious!" Wu Mian was about to explain that he was in a bad mood, but suddenly he had an idea and changed his words, "But eating alone is too boring, you would rather starve than eat with me, alas, I feel guilty in my heart, and the amount of food is discounted." ”

Shen Yihui's face flushed: "I'm not hungry, I already ate before I came." ”

"Anyway, I don't like to dine alone. Wu Mian said seriously, "Xiao Shen, if you want me to eat more, you can eat with me in the future." Eating and chatting at the dinner table will make you feel happy and eat well. ”

He paused, and said in a commanding tone, "That's it! Let's start cooking more tomorrow, let's eat together!"

Shen Yihui became even more shy, let out a thin "um" in her nose, walked to the corner of the living room with a bucket with a flushed face, and buried herself in wiping the floor.

The hem of her beer uniform was wet in a small piece, probably accidentally dipped in the water when she was fetching, and the wet part was close to her fair and smooth thighs, which looked very interesting.

However, Wu Mian lost his appreciation at this time, and was about to smoke another cigarette after dinner to relieve his boredom, when suddenly an old-timer reporter called and reported the good news to him, saying that after careful recall, he recognized that the screenshot was taken in a residential community called "Splendid Garden".

Wu Mian was overjoyed, and immediately ran out of the house, drove through most of the city, and came to the door of the "Splendid Garden".

He took out his press card and told the security guard that he had something important to do with Chai Qing, the investment director of Huisheng China. The security guard was very cooperative, telling him that Chai Qing lived in Room B on the 18th floor of Building D, and gave detailed directions.

Wu Mian thanked him and ran in quickly, and five minutes later, he was already standing outside Chai Qing's house and rang the doorbell.

After a long time, no one came out to open the door. He tried to call her cell phone again, but it was still off.

Wu Mian originally wanted to find a locksmith to break into the door, but after a little thought, he changed his mind and decided to hide in the dark at the staircase to observe quietly.

Because when he was downstairs just now, he saw that the windows and balconies of all units were installed with anti-theft nets. In other words, it is impossible for Chai Qing to jump from his own unit, and he must first go to the rooftop of the building before he can jump down. Just stay at the top of the stairs and stop her when she opens the door and comes out.

So Wu Mian sat down on the steps and waited quietly for Chai Qing.

Time passed very slowly, he played mobile games for a while in boredom, smoked several cigarettes, and finally stayed up until 12 o'clock at midnight, but Chai Qing never went out!

Isn't that weird! Didn't she jump off the building at midnight? Was there a mistake in time? Or was it in the wrong place?

Wu Mian stood up suspiciously, thought for a moment and then simply walked to the rooftop of the top floor, intending to go there first to see the situation.

As soon as he stepped onto the rooftop, he caught a glimpse of a slender figure standing high on the edge of the fence with his back to him, his wavy curls blown by the night breeze, like an angel from a foreign land, and his bare half-snow-white neck looked very clear in the night.

Wu Mian was startled, and realized that he had made a big mistake. It turned out that before he came to the door, Chai Qing had already gone to the rooftop, and after a lonely and painful hesitation for a long time, he finally decided to commit suicide at this moment.

A more violent night wind blew, and Chai Qing's body began to sway, as if it was about to fall with the wind!

Without delaying for half a second, Wu Mian took off his shoes and rushed towards her quickly and silently. He didn't dare to call her, for fear that it would provoke her to jump desperately.

Although he tried to slow down his steps, he still alarmed Chai Qing when he was a few meters away. She turned her head to see him and screamed, her body immediately lost her balance, and her arms shook and fell.

Wu Mian jumped up without thinking, rushed over and grabbed Chai Qing's right arm, but due to the excessive momentum and her weight, Wu Mian was unstable under the action of huge inertia, and the whole person was also taken out and fell sharply......
