Wu Qiuyun’s research project has recently become busy again. The moment Ji Yuanyuan entered the laboratory, Wu Qiuyun a.s.signed her a large number of tasks.
Duan Wenguang’s matter was forgotten in the back of her mind just like that.
Until half a month later, when cla.s.s was over.
After Ji Yuanyuan came out of the teaching building, she went straight to where Qin Mucheng parked his car.
Last night, she had forgotten to lock her car after parking it.
The car was out of battery and couldn t be driven.
Qin Mucheng had sent her over in the morning, so naturally, he would pick her up after cla.s.s.
Qin Mucheng had been relatively free these few days, so he got off work early. When Ji Yuanyuan finished cla.s.s, she had already been waiting in front of the teaching building for quite a while.
After cla.s.s, the road was filled with students.
After Ji Yuanyuan took a few steps, she was surrounded by a crowd.
She could only follow the crowd slowly.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind.
With a bang, something fell from the sky.
Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously turned around to take a look.
However, she was surrounded by a crowd and could not see anything outside
the crowd.
Just as Ji Yuanyuan was still curious, screams rang out from the crowd not far away.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment before covering her chest with both hands.
The crowd became chaotic and clamored.
Ji Yuanyuan covered her chest with her hands. Even though she was pushed by the crowd, her breathing was still smooth.
She didn’t push her way out and just walked along with the crowd.
The corridor outside the teaching building was a little narrow, but it was much more s.p.a.cious after going out.
Therefore, after the crowd came out, the surrounding crowd dispersed, and the air around Ji Yuanyuan became much fresher.
Just as she heaved a sigh of relief, she crashed into a chest.
She subconsciously wanted to push it out.
What’s wrong with this person? Why is he still forcefully squeezing onto others?
When she looked up, she realized that it was Qin Mucheng.
“Why are you here?” There were so many people. It would be dangerous for him to go against the flow of people.
Qin Mucheng’s expression was a little serious.
He stretched out his hand and pressed Ji Yuanyuan’s head against his chest. Just like that, he escorted Ji Yuanyuan out of the crowd and quickly got into the car.
Ji Yuanyuan was separated from the crowd earlier and did not know what had happened over there.
“What happened? Why is it so…” Ji Yuanyuan turned to look at the commotion in the crowd.
Before Ji Yuanyuan could turn her head, Qin Mucheng grabbed her chin.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Yuanyuan blinked.
“Don’t look, it’s b.l.o.o.d.y.” Qin Mucheng said softly.
“What?” The smile on Ji Yuanyuan’s face froze.
“Someone jump off the building.” Qin Mucheng had specially parked his car at this location so he could see the entrance of the teaching building as soon as he looked up.
This way, he could see Ji Yuanyuan’s figure as quickly as possible.
Therefore, he had seen the scene clearly.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a few seconds before struggling, 111 go take a look. Maybe I can help.”
Although there were many medical students in this building, what if she could help?
However, Qin Mucheng still held Ji Yuanyuan’s chin tightly.
“You can’t help. There’s no chance of survival if he falls from the eleventh
floor.”
He saw clearly that the person had fallen from the roof.
There was no buffer in the middle, and the bottom was cement. Therefore, no matter who went to help, it was impossible to change the outcome.
“You’re hurting me.” Ji Yuanyuan struggled for a moment and whimpered.
Only then did Qin Mucheng come back to his senses and let go of his hand.
His hands trembled slightly.
Ji Yuanyuan held his hand.
He had seen someone fall from the building with his own eyes. Perhaps he had even glimpsed at that b.l.o.o.d.y…
No matter how powerful Qin Mucheng was, he was still an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
It was certain that she felt uncomfortable.
Even though he felt so uncomfortable, his first reaction was to rush into the crowd to look for her.
Ji Yuanyuan felt both heartbroken and touched.
She did not see that scene. Furthermore, she was a medical student. In this aspect, she was more able to take it than Qin Mucheng.
“Shall I drive?” Ji Yuanyuan asked softly.
Qin Mucheng took a deep breath and shook his head, “It’s fine. Let’s leave this place first. It’s too dangerous here.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
There were too many people here. Since the person who fell from the building had no chance of survival, there was no point for her to stay.
She might even cause trouble for the school.
Qin Mucheng’s mentality was indeed strong. After a short period of panic, he quickly adapted to it.
He drove fast and steadily, leaving the school at the fastest speed.
On the way, Ji Yuanyuan was still thinking about this matter.
This building was practically a teaching building for medical students. Therefore, she might know the student who fell off the building. They had been taught in the same cla.s.sroom and by the same teacher. At the thought of this, Ji Yuanyuan sighed in her heart.
“Tell me, what’s there to be unhappy about? He had to commit suicide… There are so many people who desperately want to live, but they don’t have the chance.” Ji Yuanyuan sighed softly.
Qin Mucheng freed his hand and held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.
“If they weren’t desperate, they wouldn’t have chosen to jump off the building. Moreover, it might just be an accident.”
“HOW could it be an accident? There’s a very high guardrail on the roof. Who would climb outside the guardrail for no reason?” Ji Yuanyuan sighed. Qin Mucheng did not say anything else. He held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and gently rubbed it twice.
Before going to bed, Ji Yuanyuan asked Aunt Wu to make some calming tea for Qin Mucheng at night.
She then sent Tangtang to the second floor for Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin to watch.
She knew that Qin Mucheng would not be able to sleep well at night after seeing that scene during the day.
Because Ji Yuanyuan was worried about Qin Mucheng, she was half-asleep the entire night.
Sure enough, Qin Mucheng had a nightmare in the latter half of the night and woke up with a start.
Ji Yuanyuan was a light sleeper and soon noticed Qin Mucheng’s abnormality. She woke up and comforted Qin Mucheng silently.
She had thought that this matter would be over soon.
However, the next day, Cao Xiaorui came up to her as soon as she entered the laboratory.
Ji Yuanyuan thought she was here for breakfast, but Cao Xiaorui did not even look at her.
-Did you know that something happened in our school last night?” She asked Ji Yuanyuan mysteriously.
“Are you talking about the one at the Tenth Building?” Ji Yuanyuan asked in a low voice.
Cao Xiaorui blinked her eyes and suddenly remembered, “Did you have cla.s.ses at the Tenth Building in the afternoon?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
“You saw it?” Cao Xiaorui covered her mouth in shock and looked at Ji Yuanyuan in horror.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, “No, I was squeezed by the crowd. I didn’t see anything.”
Cao Xiaorui was silent for a moment. Then, she let out a breath of turbid air, “Do you know who jumped off the building?
“Who is it?”
“Duan Wenguang, Zhou Hua’s student.” Cao Xiaorui whispered.
When Cao Xiaorui said the name Duan Wenguang, Ji Yuanyuan felt a buzzing sound in her ears.
It was as if a string in her head had snapped..
