NOVPUBYue Ran was in a hospital that wasn't very tall. Mu Chen had placed her in the nearest hospital due to her critical condition, which was only five stories high.
Yue Ran was standing at the highest point of the roof, listening to the crowd downstairs that had formed a half circle at the bottom of the hospital building, all looking towards where she was.
"She hadn't jumped down yet."
"Has someone already called the police?"
"I heard that someone did."
"Why doesn't she jump?"
"Could it be that she dared not jump?"
"There are a lot of people that want to commit suicide by jumping off buildings these days, but few actually dare to jump!"
"That's right, maybe this is also one of them."
"Maybe she's just trying to catch attention by doing so."
"But whose attention?"
"Jump down, why don't you jump?"
"Maybe she had second thoughts?"
When Yang Chi heard these words as he stepped downstairs, his eyes watered and veins popped out on his neck. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"You people are sick! If you guys like to watch others commit suicide so much, why don't you all just commit suicide yourselves?!"
After saying his piece, he raised his head upwards, and his pupils dilated when he saw an ever-so-familiar figure on top of the building.
Yue Ran!
It was Yue Ran!
Her appearance had been deeply imprinted in his mind, and Yang Chi could recognize her anywhere, even from so far away.
"Yue Ran, you dare to commit suicide?! You are not allowed to jump! I will not allow you to jump! I will not allow you to die! You hear me? You are not allowed to jump, Yue Ran!"
Yang Chi kept repeating his shouts; his pleading voice sounded like he was about to cry anytime soon.
But his words fell on deaf ears as he watched her climb over the railing. He immediately felt that the blood in his whole body was about to coagulate.
He didn't know why she had suddenly decided to come this far.
Why did things suddenly become like this?
How did things suddenly become like this?
He felt that he had just fallen in love with her and was already imagining their happy future together.
So why does fate have to be so tricky?
And why does fate have to be so cruel towards Yue Ran?!
Yang Chi's eyes were bloodshot, and his vision gradually blurred. When he blinked, his vision cleared up, but something warm dropped down his cheeks.
He touched his face.
Were they tears?
Was he crying?
"Stand there! Don't move! Don't jump! Don't jump!" He roared hoarsely.
Yang Chi trembled uncontrollably. He had never been so scared before.

Mu Chen was already on the rooftop when Jin Yao and Jiang Yi appeared. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"Yue Ran, don't be too hard on yourself."
"You can tell us anything if there's a problem."
"We don't mind what happened before; I don't mind whatever happened before."
"If there's a problem, you can discuss it with us."
"Please get down from there, Yue Ran."
"Yue Ran, please listen to us."
The three persuaded her in turns, trying their best to prevent her from jumping.
They knew that Yue Ran was concerned about her innocence, which was gone, and she was also so seriously injured because of it!
They wished that they could peel off Fei Niu's skin and cut him alive into thousands of pieces, but the three male protagonists—Yang Chi, Jin Yao, and Jiang Yi—have no idea where Mu Chen has asked his men to take Fei Niu!
Rui Qin was, of course, not let off!
She was the one who had started all of this, and for such a petty reason!
They had no idea how Rui Qin had avoided all "accidents" and how her company had thrived despite the four men's joint efforts to bring it down.
There must be other cards that they are not aware of.
Rui Qin seemed to be much more of a dangerous person than they had first thought.
At this time, Yue Ran had climbed over the railing, and the wind on the roof slightly lifted the corners of her white hospital gown.
"No, it's dangerous!"
"Don't move, it's dangerous!"
"Stand there; don't move!"
The three were still trying to convince Yue Ran to get down, but she had already fallen like a fluttering leaf and hit the ground heavily.
—Boom!
The people around Yang Chi screamed and ran to the outer circle in a panic to watch from a distance.
But Yang Chi stood in the same place and didn't move. He was just looking at the girl lying in a pool of her own blood.
He could touch her, but she was no longer breathing.
Yang Chi's white suit and trousers were splashed with scarlet liquid, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. He could even taste the iron on his tongue as he breathed in.
He wanted to cry, shout, and vomit, but his nerves seemed to have lost their response, and he could only stand silently, as if his soul had been drained.
Yue Ran fell to the ground; her eyes were closed and could not be opened again, and there were still tears in the corners of her red-rimmed eyes.
Yang Chi had once seen this expression on her face not long ago, but to see it reappear again...
He never thought that one day she would die in front of him in such a tragic way.
His legs felt limp, and he bent down and knelt beside her with a loud bang when his knees came in contact with the ground.
He was growling and whimpering in a low voice, muttering, "Yue Ran, Yue Ran, Yue Ran..."
Yue Ran's name was the only thing that Yang Chi could utter from his lips.
How could she jump?
How could she die?
How could she?!
Yang Chi crawled to Yue Ran's cold body and cradled her head against his chest with trembling hands.
"Yue Ran…"
