Sun Yu was wearing a red hoodie. She was sitting on the roof of the hotel, looking at the night view of the city below.
The wind at night was very strong and cold, but she didn't feel cold at all. In other words, her heart was already cold. Tears poured out from the corners of her eyes and slid down her cheeks, leaving two tear streaks on her delicate face.
She sat on the parapet in a daze. Her left hand hugged her curled up legs, and her right hand pressed the phone to her ear. She cried like a lost child.
Hearing her cry, Xiao Luo's anger disappeared in an instant.
He asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Sun Yu sobbed and said, "Brother Xiao Luo, when you announced to everyone that I was your woman that day, I wanted so badly to say that I liked you too. From the first time we met, I was deeply attracted to your temperament. I liked your smile, I liked looking at you quietly, and I liked spending time with you." Sun Yu was sobbing.
She cried and laughed at the same time. There was a touch of sadness on her delicate face.
"How I wish that time could stop at the night when we ate roasted sweet potatoes together. You said to me that childhood was the best. There were no worries, no worries. Fishing in the river, digging rat holes in the field, folding paper planes, rubbing mud … I was so happy at that time. I still remember a nursery rhyme. Brother Xiao Luo, can I sing it for you?"
Without waiting for Xiao Luo's answer, she sang softly. Her voice was pleasant.
"You pat once, I pat once, bathe often, change clothes often. You pat twice, I pat twice, remember to bring a handkerchief every day. You pat thrice, I pat thrice, don't spit everywhere. You pat thrice, I pat thrice, kill flies and mosquitoes. You pat thrice, I pat thrice, kill bugs and rats … "
As she sang, tears streamed down her cheeks, blurring her vision.
At this time, Xiao Luo had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel. As soon as the taxi stopped, he couldn't wait to open the door and rush out. He shouted into the phone, "Where are you?"
"I'm at home!"
Sun Yu smiled sadly and then brought the phone closer to her. "Brother Xiao Luo, I've been wanting to tell you these days. Actually, I love you …"
"Du … Du … Du …"
Xiao Luo's phone beeped.
Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd below.
"Look, someone is jumping down from above!" An ear-piercing scream rang out.
Xiao Luo looked up in the direction they were looking at. Her pupils constricted. A girl in a red hoodie jumped down from the roof of the hotel. She was like a fiery red rose, falling to the ground with a deep sense of death.
Sun Yu!
This was a strong intuition. There was no reason for it. Even if he didn't see the face clearly, Xiao Luo was certain.
It was a critical moment!
He charged forward like a cheetah, stomping his feet on the ground after a dozen steps. His entire body carried a powerful aura as he soared into the sky. He stretched out his arms to intercept Sun Yu, but the momentum of Sun Yu's fall was too fast. Even with his King of Mercenaries physique, he immediately lost his balance and tumbled down in the air.
"Crack!" His arm was dislocated. A sharp pain surged to his brain, and he lost all feeling in his entire left arm.
Sun Yu fell to the other side and fainted on the spot. Blood slowly flowed from her body and soon dyed the surrounding ground red.
Xiao Luo got up and ran over to her without caring about anything else. Then, he endured the sharp pain in his left arm and carried her back to the taxi.
Looking at Sun Yu covered in blood, the driver was so scared that his face turned pale. "You … your friend?"
"Drive!"
Xiao Luo could no longer keep calm. He roared at the driver like a mad beast.
The driver didn't dare to say anything else. He quickly fastened his seat belt and drove the car to the People's Hospital. They arrived in a few minutes.
…
…
The air was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.
Xiao Luo sat outside the emergency room, staring blankly at the blood that flowed from Sun Yu's body. His dislocated left arm had been forcibly fixed by him. As long as he didn't use too much strength, it would be fine for the time being. He would be fine after a few days of rest.
His brows were furrowed, and his mind was racing.
From Hu Shuirong's reminder to Sun Yu's rejection … everything pointed to a huge story behind this. Sun Yu's unspeakable difficulties. But what kind of difficulties could it be that made a girl so disheartened by the world that she chose to jump off a building to end her own life?
Xiao Luo couldn't figure it out. He only knew that it had something to do with He Ruanliang.
"Brother!"
After receiving the news, Xiao Ruyi and Tang Ren immediately rushed over. The two of them were out of breath from running.
"Brother, what's going on? Why did Yu Yu jump off a building? "Xiao Ruyi asked anxiously.
Xiao Luo didn't answer her. Instead, he said in a commanding tone, "Call Hu Shuirong over!"
Although he didn't know what was going on, Tang Ren immediately replied, "I'll call her."
Then, he turned around and ran off.
"How did this happen? How did this happen?"
Xiao Ruyi stared at the tightly shut doors of the emergency room. She kept repeating the same words over and over again, her mind completely blank.
…
…
At that moment, the scene of Sun Yu's suicide was surrounded by police officers.
"Captain Gu, according to a taxi driver, the girl who jumped off the building has been sent to the People's Hospital for treatment. He also said that he picked up a strange male passenger from Gong Village in Taihe District. The male passenger's destination was this hotel. Also, the male passenger kept telling him to drive faster and even threatened him to run a red light. He seemed to know that the girl was going to jump off the building, and the girl was sent to the hospital by the male passenger."
Officer Wang Hanxuan reported the situation to Gu Qianlin.
"Gong Village?"
Gu Qianlin's brows furrowed. She was very sensitive to this place because she found out that the prime suspect, Xiao Luo, lived there. She raised her head and looked at the hotel that was more than ten stories high. She thought to herself, "Jumping off the roof and landing on the ground would turn her into minced meat. How could she be saved?"
"Did you find out the identity of the jumper?"
"Her name is Sun Yu, a guest of this hotel."
Wang Hanxuan nodded and replied, "She is a nurse at the People's Hospital. In addition, the room she stayed in was found to have residual methamphetamine."
"Methamphetamine?"
Gu Qianlin's brows furrowed even tighter. Drugs had always been the target of the country's crackdown, and all law enforcement officers were very sensitive to these words.
"Yes!"
Wang Hanxuan said, "There was a middle-aged man who entered the room with her. The investigation team is looking for his information based on the profile picture in the surveillance video. I believe we will have a result soon. It is worth mentioning that the girl who jumped off the building had sexual contact with him in the room, so it is very likely that the girl who jumped off the building sold her body in exchange for the methamphetamine in the middle-aged man's hands."
After hearing this, Gu Qianlin, who had come across many similar cases, immediately understood why the girl jumped off the building.
The girl must have been addicted to drugs. Normally, she was just like a normal person, but once the addiction kicked in, the torture and torment was unbearable. Not to mention selling her body, she would not hesitate to cut off one of her hands in exchange for drugs.
She chose to jump off the building!
This meant that she was a girl who wanted to get rid of the control of drugs. Unfortunately, every time the drug addiction acted up, she would sink into it again. Sinking into it again and again in exchange for a deeper and deeper sense of guilt and shame.
She struggled bitterly, but she could not break free from the devil's grasp!
