Chapter 4: Saving Lives
When Wenjiu walked into the elevator, he found that his palms were a little damp.
I didn't expect that the person who rented his girlfriend was really Shang Jingtian.
Since he was so excited to run out and ask for her name, it seemed that he had not forgotten the past, and he wondered if he would choose her.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously held the phone in her pocket.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and before the door was fully opened, a person suddenly rushed in from outside. Wenjiu reacted quickly, and took two steps back so that he was not bumped into by someone who came. It was a young man who rushed in, and after pressing the button on the twenty-sixth floor, he pressed the door button wildly, and his body blocked the door again, and before Wen Jiu could go out, the elevator door was closed.
The highest floor of the building is the 26th floor. Wenjiu had to follow the elevator to the twenty-sixth floor, fortunately, this afternoon she was already officially on vacation, not in a hurry.
The young man stared straight at the numbers jumping on the screen, holding a mobile phone in his left hand and pressing the keys to the twenty-sixth floor in his right hand, as if that way the elevator would be faster. He didn't seem to see anyone else in the elevator at all.
As soon as the elevator stopped, when the door was ajar, the young man rushed out, the mobile phone touched the elevator door, fell down with a click, and fell right at the elevator entrance, he didn't even look at it, and ran out with a step.
What is it about this urgency that makes such a panic? I don't even want a mobile phone.
Wen Jiu sighed, bent down to pick up the phone, and stepped out of the elevator.
At this moment, there was a shouting and swearing from a loudspeaker in the stairs.
"Lin Maosheng, you bastard! Come to a sticky end! You have a kind of it, don't be a shrunken turtle. ”
"Lin Maosheng, if you don't give money, I'll jump off the building!"
The young man was gone, and the shouts came from the top floor, one after the other, hoarse.
Wen Jiu looked at the phone in his hand that had a rotten screen, and had an intuition that the young man had gone up to the top floor just now, and he must have some kind of relationship with the person who was shouting.
Just then, the door of another elevator opened. Several security guards rushed out of it and ran into the fire escape. A conversation of several people came from the stairwell:
"The police have been called, and the police will be coming soon."
"Call an ambulance."
"It's useless, will you be saved if you jump off the twenty-sixth floor?"
"Hurry up and send someone to the 16th floor to find Lin Maosheng, and ask someone from their company to come over and deal with it quickly."
Wen Jiu hesitated for a moment, went up to the top floor along the fire escape, and before he could go out, he heard a manic and mournful shout.
"Don't come, don't come, or I'll jump!"
Wen Jiu stood at the exit of the fire escape, and saw a man in his forties and fifties sitting on the iron frame on the top floor platform where a huge billboard was placed, his legs hanging out of the platform, the situation was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would fall down, at such a height, there would never be a chance of survival.
Several security guards did not dare to go any further, and immediately stopped. The young man in the elevator, standing more than ten meters in front of the billboard, said to the man: "Second uncle, don't be impulsive, come down quickly, we will solve something together." ”
"Lu Chong, don't come here, I'll jump off the building if I don't get the money." Lu Pingyong's eyes were red by the wind on the top floor, and he was extremely emotional.
At the end of the year, there are many migrant workers who are chasing arrears of wages in extreme ways, and such news is often broadcast on TV.
"Second uncle, don't do this, let's go find a lawyer, and the law."
"The law has a fart, Lin Maosheng is a bastard, if you don't give money, I'll die for you today!" Lu Pingyong waved the loudspeaker in his hand and shouted.
"Second uncle, don't move!" The young man named Lu Chong, his nervous voice had changed tone.
At this time, a clear and gentle female voice came from behind him: "I am Lin Maosheng's sister, you can tell me anything you want." ”
Lu Chong turned his head, only to find that there was a young and beautiful woman standing behind him. She was wearing an off-white cashmere coat, her hair was simply tied in a bun, and the wind on the top floor was very strong, blowing the broken hair on her temples, lined with a picturesque face, cold and bright.
Wen Jiu slowly stepped forward, "My brother is on a business trip, and he called me just now and asked me to deal with this matter." You come down first, we have a good talk, everything can be discussed. ”
When she spoke, she kept looking at Lu Pingyong, who was about to jump off the building, and deliberately put her tone soft and humble, and her eyes were calm and gentle. But Lu Pingyong did not let down his guard, but shouted excitedly: "Don't come here!" Or I'll jump! ”
Wen Jiu stopped in front of Lu Chong, turned around and handed him the mobile phone he had just picked up: "This is your mobile phone." ”
Lu Chong took the phone and looked at her with mixed feelings. Lin Maosheng's sister should have been a hostile party, but at this moment, as long as the second uncle can get off the billboard safely, even if it is Lin Maosheng's sister, he will be very grateful.
Several security guards didn't know the identity of Wenjiu, and thought it was really Lin Maosheng's sister, so they began to persuade: "This brother, you come down first, you have something to say." ”
"It's too dangerous to sit there. Whatever you want, just talk to this girl. ”
Lu Pingyong shouted loudly: "There's nothing to talk about, let's take the money first!" 200,000 points cannot be less. ”
"No problem, you come down first, and I'll accompany you to the bank to withdraw money."
Wen Jiu opened the bag, took out a bank card from the wallet, and said softly: "There are 160,000 in it, you take it first, and my brother will give you the rest in person tomorrow." With that, she gave the card to Lu Chong.
Lu Chong immediately shouted: "Second uncle, look, she gave me the card, you come down quickly." ”
"Who knows if there's any money in the card?" Lu Pingyong didn't believe that things would be solved so easily, Lin Maosheng was in arrears of wages and did not show up, and his workers were anxious to wait for the money to go home for the New Year, he was like a rat caught in the bellows and cornered to seek justice in this way.
"I'll check the balance on the phone, you wait." Wenjiu took out his mobile phone, turned on the speakerphone, and pressed the voice prompts inside, entering the card number and password step by step, until the balance was clearly reported in the mobile phone: 163,000
Lu Chong shouted: "Second uncle, you see that there is money in this card, come down quickly." ”
At this moment, the top floor has been attracted by Lu Pingyong's loudspeaker shouting, and everyone around Lu Chong shouted one after another: "Come down, you see that everyone has given you money." ”
"Don't do stupid things, life is more important than money, hurry down."
Lu Pingyong slowly moved down from the billboard.
The snow-thin area on the top floor was frozen, and under the iron frame of the billboard hung ice cubes of different lengths, like a crystal dagger, braving the cold air.
Wen Jiu said, "Be careful." Walking quickly towards Lu Pingyong, Lu Chong also stepped forward.
Lu Pingyong cautiously stepped off the iron frame and slowly walked back to the platform.
When Lu Chong and Wenjiu were only a few steps away from him, Lu Pingyong suddenly slipped under his feet, and the thin ice on the platform clicked with a crisp sound, and with everyone's exclamations, he slid back a few steps in a row, and saw that his foot was about to slide off the edge of the platform.
Lu Chong's face changed drastically in fright, and he hurriedly grabbed Lu Pingyong's arm, but unfortunately he didn't catch it.
At this critical moment, Wen Jiu moved faster than him and grabbed Lu Pingyong's other arm.
Lu Chong didn't see how she moved at all, and Wen Jiu had already thrown Lu Pingyong's whole person off his shoulder.
With a bang, Lu Pingyong fell to the snow under the platform, and with a sigh, he grinned in pain.
Everyone exclaimed again, no one could imagine that such a delicate and fragile woman could have such a sharp reaction and explosiveness in an instant. Although Lu Pingyong is thin and short, he is also a man. She threw her to the ground as if she had been thrown something.
And Lu Chong, who was close in front of him, saw this scene with his own eyes, and he couldn't describe the strong shock in his heart, and he looked at Wenjiu blankly, and forgot to help Lu Pingyong up for a while.
Wenjiu bent down and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Lu Pingyong, who was frightened, turned pale and couldn't speak at all.
Wen Jiu straightened up, rubbed his wrist, and then combed his hair that was a little messy, and on his slender snow-white wrist, he wore a golden bracelet that shone slightly.
Lu Chong looked at her in a daze, the turbulent waves were not enough to describe his mood ups and downs.
Lu Pingyong, who was lying on the ground, suddenly howled and cried, he didn't want to die at all, and when death was really one step away from him, he felt extremely afraid. Lu Chong squatted down and hugged his shoulders to comfort him.
At this time, the property manager of the building hurriedly climbed to the top floor with several policemen, and several security guards told the police about the situation.
A policeman asked Wen Jiu: "Are you Lin Maosheng's sister?" ”
"I'm not." Wenjiu took out his ID card.
At this time, Lu Chong knew that Wenjiu was not Lin Maosheng's sister, but a passerby. He returned the bank card to Wenjiu and said gratefully, "I really don't know how to thank you, can you leave a phone number?" ”
"Nothing." Wen Jiu smiled at Lu Chong, took the bank card from him and put it in his bag.
Someone in the crowd picked up their mobile phones to take pictures, and the thrilling atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and low discussions came and went.
Standing at the very edge of the fire escape, Yan Lu, who only saw the scene of Zuihou, turned his head to Shang Jingtian and said, "Replace her." ”
Shang Jingtian didn't hear his words, looked at Wen Jiu who was talking to the police, and a thought flashed in his heart: Will a person become thinner because of practicing judo, or even change his temperament?
Yan Lu nudged him, "What's the matter with you today?" Soulless? ”
Shang Jingtian came back to his senses: "What did you just say?" ”
Yan Lu's gaze crossed the crowd, looked at the beautiful figure, and said simply: "Replace her." ”
Although it is cold and arrogant, its momentum is definitely not inferior to Yu Qianqian. Perhaps, this is the person he needs.
After leaving the building, Wenshu did not immediately drive back, but walked along the snow that had not yet melted to the shore of Lake Kinba. The thick ice surface looked like a huge mirror, some jumping points of light, shiny like small rhinestones, but on closer inspection, there was nothing.
The thrilling scene on the top floor of Fang Cai hooked up the anger hidden in her heart again. The past seven years ago is like a movie kicking off on the ice of Lake Kimbo.
She closed her eyes and exhaled a deep breath of white air: Shang Jingtian, how have you been doing in the past seven years? When you remember your deceased, do you ever feel a trace of remorse or repentance?
She couldn't help but clench her hands and make a few crunch clicks.
In the cold wind, she stood for a while, turned back to the garage to pick up the car, and then drove slowly out of the city towards a nursing home in the western suburbs.
A black Lincoln silently followed her.
