Chapter 956: Jumping off the Building

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Leng’an sidestepped the reaching hand with a stoic expression and asked, “What do you want?”

Seeing her evasion, the girl grew anxious, stomping her foot. “Ye Leng’an, why are you still standing here? I’ve already told you, it’s a matter of life and death!”

“Do I have anything to do with this?” Ye Leng’an maintained her expressionless gaze. “I don’t even know you. You want to drag me away now, why should I go with you?”

Though unaware of the situation, she disliked being coerced. The other party’s insistence on dragging her along without explanation felt like a dream.

“Oh, I’m a third-year student in the Chinese Medicine Department, also your senior. My name is Jiao En’en.” The girl, Jiao En’en, appeared anxious. “Ye Leng’an, hurry, Zhou Cui’an is on the rooftop of the Chinese Medicine Department building, threatening to jump!”

“What, jump off a building?” Zhu Bixuan nearly exclaimed. “Senior Sister, are you serious?”

“How could I joke about this?” Jiao En’en’s urgency increased. “The dean, our department head, and the principal are already there. Zhou Cui’an insisted on seeing you, Ye Leng’an. I just happened to run into you. So, come with me quickly! If something happens, it’ll reflect poorly on everyone,” Jiao En’en pleaded.

Upon hearing this, Ye Leng’an furrowed her brow. “Let’s go then!”

She led the way, unperturbed. Even upon hearing about Zhou Cui’an’s suicidal intentions, she maintained her pace.

She was willing to go not because she genuinely feared Zhou Cui’an’s suicide. Zhou Cui’an’s disregard for her own life and choice to end it held no bearing on her. Her willingness stemmed from a sense of duty to the school, not wanting any negative repercussions from this incident.

Both the principal, the dean, and other teachers had treated her well. Therefore, out of obligation and goodwill, she felt it necessary to go over to check on her firsthand.

Observing Ye Leng’an’s nonchalant demeanor, Jiao En’en hesitated to rush her, wary of her temper. Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei exchanged worried glances, deciding to accompany them, despite their dislike for Zhou Cui’an.

Ye Leng’an got into the car, prompting Jiao En’en to follow suit. Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei rushed to join them before the car set off.

Arriving at the teaching building quickly, they found it cordoned off. Onlookers gathered, staring up at the rooftop.

The teaching building wasn’t particularly tall, only five floors high. On the rooftop, Zhou Cui’an could already be seen seated there, seemingly in a confrontation with someone, her whole demeanor suggesting she could fall at any moment.

Down below, firefighters had already positioned safety air cushions to prevent anyone from falling.

Seeing Ye Leng’an standing there, Jiao En’en grew increasingly anxious and couldn’t help but urge, “Ye Leng’an, let’s hurry up!”

Otherwise, if a tragedy were to unfold, it would truly be too late.

Ye Leng’an didn’t retort, simply striding forward.

As the group crossed the cordon and headed upstairs, many onlookers recognized Ye Leng’an.

This sparked a flurry of discussions among the crowd.

It could be said that Zhou Cui’an’s sudden decision to jump off the building and commit suicide had a certain connection to Ye Leng’an. However, everyone present had been admitted to Capital University, so they possessed the ability to discern right from wrong. Therefore, although there was a connection, Ye Leng’an truly hadn’t done anything wrong.

Ye Leng’an was merely using the law as a weapon to protect herself from being slandered. She hadn’t done anything wrong. It was unreasonable to blame Ye Leng’an just because Zhou Cui’an was now threatening to jump off the building.

It must be said that most of the people present were university students, so their moral compass was relatively upright.

Ye Leng’an paid no heed to the chatter, proceeding to the rooftop where school leaders, police, and negotiators were present.

To her surprise, Murong Yumeng was also there, attempting to persuade Zhou Cui’an. Despite her impatience, Murong Yumeng maintained her facade as the perfect goddess.

Noticing Ye Leng’an’s arrival, Murong Yumeng’s eyes betrayed a hint of darkness. “Leng’an, you’re finally here,” she said urgently. “You have to persuade Zhou Cui’an! After all, the reason she’s attempting suicide now is…”

But her words trailed off, leaving room for speculation. It was as if she insinuated Ye Leng’an’s involvement in Zhou Cui’an’s decision.

“Yeah, you are right,” Ye Leng’an responded, feigning ignorance of Murong Yumeng’s implications. “It appears we share the same view. We both believe that Zhou Cui’an brought this upon herself. It’s really not appropriate for her to resort to suicide to pressure the school like this.”
