With a forceful shove, he sent Yang Rui flying.
"Ah... Ahhh..."
The scream pierced through the eardrums and shot straight into the sky.
Yang Rui gripped the edge of the high platform with both hands desperately, kicking his legs frantically, shouting for help.
"I donât want to die... Please pull me up, I donât want to die... I wonât remarry, I donât want my son, I donât want anything... Please donât let go..."
"Itâs useless telling me that, tell it to the police," Gu Peng said indifferently, eyes downcast, "Think it over and say it again, you get one chance."
Does Yang Rui still need to think?
His arms were losing strength.
"Officer, I donât want anything, I was wrong, I wonât remarry Wang Tianxue, I donât want my son, please let me up, I wonât seek death anymore..."
"Thatâs not right, say it again."
"I wonât threaten Wang Tianxue anymore, from now on Iâll stay far away, I wonât appear in front of her again..."
Gu Peng turned casually to inquire of the officers, "Can you testify?"
The officers were also startled by the scene. If this man actually fell, would the man standing here be guilty of intentional murder right in front of the police?
Though they felt it was quite satisfying to do so.
The officers nodded repeatedly, "We can, weâll testify."
Gu Peng then asked Wang Tianxue and Lin Chuxia, "Is this result okay?"
Yes, very okay.
Wang Tianxue nodded vigorously, her eyes shining at Gu Peng.
Only then did Gu Peng pull him up.
To say Yang Rui had slimmed somewhat over the years of friction, yet he was still a large man.
Gu Peng pulled him up like lifting a chick.
Yang Rui was already scared stiff, sitting on the ground helplessly.
The officers hurriedly stepped forward to take control of him and suddenly smelled something odd.
Yang Ruiâs pants were already soaking wet.
Did he get scared into wetting himself?
...............
Thereâs no need for Lin Chuxia and the others to care about what happens next.
Yang Ruiâs commotion wasnât small, it disturbed not only the police but also city leaders.
With so many onlookers, the mall was shut down, causing extremely adverse effects.
The police department stated that Yang Ruiâs actions must be severely punished.
Otherwise everyone might follow suit, whenever a bit unhappy, theyâll think of jumping off a building, what kind of city atmosphere would Yan City have?
Especially as the officers present are aware of the situation between Yang Rui and Wang Tianxue.
They felt even more disdain and contempt for Yang Rui.
The officers took Yang Rui away.
And Yang Rui looked half-dead, like a wilting eggplant, clearly terrified just now.
"Letâs go, we should go down too," Lin Chuxia glanced around the balcony, "Seems we should keep the balcony door locked in the future."
Wang Tianxue agreed many times, "Definitely, what if we encounter this kind of lunatic again."
The main thing is, todayâs incident with Yang Rui caused quite a stir, who knows if someone will follow suit in the future, all coming to their rooftop?
Thinking of this, Wang Tianxue looked at the man behind her, lowering her voice a bit.
"Chuxia, where did you find this man? Heâs simply too handsome. Iâm so impressed with your taste, sis."
When Lin Chuxia brought him to the garment factory, she didnât pay much mind, even shared the same thoughts as her own younger brother.
Lin Chuxia ignored her own brother, a college student, and chose a cement worker; besides running errands, what else could he do?
But reality soon proved her wrong.
Aside from other skill sets, this man certainly stepped up when it mattered.
As a woman, she sees clearly that while they can work with brains and skills, in many situations, theyâre discriminated against due to gender.
Having such a man as a protector, whatâs there to fear?
Lin Chuxia chuckled awkwardly, "I didnât know he would be so bold either."
Reflecting on the earlier situation, Lin Chuxia still felt anxious.
Just pushing Yang Rui like that, if heâd fallen, the charge of intentional murder couldnât be escaped.
He just returned from the Northwest after a year, and would be straight back in.
No, worse still, he might not even have a chance to go back, just face a firing squad.
Wang Tianxue was currently exhilarated, not thinking much.
"Whatâs bold? Thatâs what a real man is."
Lin Chuxia followed her gaze.
Gu Peng was not far behind them, keeping a close but not too close distance, head slightly down.
He hadnât cut his long hair yet, but it was clean.
His semi-long hair shaded his eyes, upon closer look, there was still some unyielding anger lingering in his gaze.
Lin Chuxia shook her head; in his youth, Gu Peng was indeed spirited.
He had just joined the company and met Wang Tianxue for the first time.
To him, they were still relatively strangers.
This matter had nothing to do with him at all.
Risking oneâs life for recently met people, if not bold, then call it righteous?
Apparently, he needs to be advised in the future.
As they reached downstairs, the officers were removing the surrounding barricades.
Lin Chuxia spotted a man with Qi Qi in his arms from afar, smiling.
"Why did you come?"
Qin Yang felt relieved upon seeing her, responding, "I heard something happened at the mall while at work, so I came over to see if I could help, just in time to see the officers bringing him down."
A few words cleared everything up.
Lin Chuxia casually remarked, "Itâs all dealt with, Jianjun can handle the rest."
Wang Tianxue greeted Qin Yang on the side.
Lin Chuxia remembered something and introduced Gu Peng to Qin Yang, "Oh right, Qin Yang, this is my new assistant, I mentioned a few days ago, Gu Peng."
Originally, Qin Yangâs gaze was fixed on his wife, and even when she mentioned her new assistant, Qin Yang wasnât particularly interested, until hearing that name come out of Lin Chuxiaâs mouth, his pupils suddenly contracted.
His deep eyes looked over, and saw a man standing not far from Lin Chuxia.
In his twenties, skin slightly dark, the color of someone whoâd been in the sun often, yet different from those who worked farms like his older brother.
Such a tone seemed just right for him, carrying a manâs raw allure.
What heightened this feeling were his eyes; although the semi-long hair covered a part of his gaze, it was this half-hidden aspect that allowed Qin Yang to sense his sharp look.
As a man, Qin Yang rarely noticed anotherâs appearance, but the man before him, despite casual exterior looks, had some decent features.
He could understand more clearly now why his mother expressed worries yesterday.
Qin Yang was appraising Gu Peng, while Gu Peng was sizing up Qin Yang.
So much so that Gu Peng seemed not to hear Lin Chuxiaâs introduction.
