Chapter 236 Leaving Jinghai
Wen Zhixia did as she said and took two steps closer.
Wang Xinjie looked her up and down. Wen Zhixia was wearing a thick down jacket that covered the safety rope tied around her waist.
"Wang Xinjie, listen to me," Wen Zhixia said, steadying her. "You might not die if you jump from this height. You might suffer fractures first, followed by internal bleeding. Even if you can't move, you might still be conscious for more than ten minutes. You know how painful this process is. You're a surgeon, so you know better than me."
Wang Xinjie cried, "I have nothing left! What's the point of living?"
As she spoke, she took a few steps toward the edge of the rooftop and was about to jump down!
Wen Zhixia rushed forward and tried to pull Wang Xinjie's clothes.
Just as she caught up with Wang Xinjie, she saw Wang Xinjie's eyes suddenly become vicious. She turned around, grabbed her arm, and pulled it in front of her.
Wen Zhixia staggered and was almost pulled down by her.
Fu Ruoshi was so scared that he grabbed the safety rope and his palm was bleeding instantly.
Wang Xinjie was disappointed.
She didn't hold on, her balance was unstable, her feet slipped, and she fell.
"what!!!"
With a desperate scream, Wen Zhixia pounced over and grabbed Wang Xinjie's sleeve at the moment she was about to fall.
Firefighters and criminal police followed up and launched a rescue operation.
Wang Xinjie was too fat, and the force of falling almost dislocated Wen Zhixia's arm.
"Let me go!" Wang Xinjie struggled desperately upon seeing the police. "I don't want to go to jail! I want to die!"
She knew clearly that if she didn't die, what would be waiting for her would be endless mental torture.
It was discovered that she was colluding with the black market to sell human parts, and it was only a matter of time before she was shot. However, in the process, she would be judged, exposed, spurned and abused, and she would wait for death in despair every day, not knowing the exact day of her death.
It is better to jump than to cut your flesh with a knife.
"I won't... let you die... so easily." Wen Zhixia's arm was in pain and cold sweats were pouring down, but her eyes were extremely determined, "Get up here...!"
Everyone pulled Wang Xinjie back together.
Fu Ruoshi rushed over, held Wen Zhixia in his arms, and rubbed her arms lovingly.
Wen Zhixia kept her eyes on Wang Xinjie, refusing to give in.
It was not until she was handcuffed by the criminal police that she finally closed her eyes as if exhausted.
"Let me go!!!" The cold handcuffs clattered, and Wang Xinjie burst into tears. "I don't want to die! I know I was wrong! Wen Zhixia, please let me go! I'm sorry to Dr. Li. I'm willing to take care of her parents in their old age. I'm willing to be their goddaughter!!"
"Go to court and apologize!" Wen Zhixia remained unmoved. "You will have the chance!"
Wang Xinjie's face was in tears, but her eyes were filled with completely opposite malice.
However, when she saw the stern, mysterious and noble man beside Wen Zhixia, she finally shed tears of despair.
This is the eldest son of the Fu family, the man who hides behind the scenes and does his best to protect her.
The person he offended was the woman he held dear to his heart.
Knowing that she was hopeless, Wang Xinjie burst into tears, but her tears were not of regret, but of the wealth and power she had not had the chance to enjoy.
Under the contemptuous gazes of passers-by, Wang Xinjie was taken into the police car.
Accompanied by shrill sirens, police cars roared away.
The police lights left flickering traces in the morning sun, like the light of justice.
three days later.
A rainy morning.
Wen Zhixia accompanied Li Wenjing's parents to her tombstone.
"My daughter! Wang Xinjie has been arrested! Guo Hong, Ma Qingfeng, Cao Yong, they've all been arrested!" Li's mother collapsed in front of the tombstone, sobbing. "You can close your eyes now, daughter. A kind-hearted person has helped overturn your conviction! No one can tarnish your reputation anymore!"
Father Li helped Mother Li up, tears streaming down his face. "Look, my daughter! This is Dr. Wen. She helped you overturn the case. She's never met you before, but she risked her life to help you. How could there be such a kind person in the world? I never believed it before!"
Wen Zhixia felt sad. "Uncle and aunt, I didn't do this alone. It took the combined efforts of many people to accomplish this. You don't need to thank me. Just wait and see their judgment."
"What about Mr. Fu?" Father Li wiped his tears. "I heard he's been secretly helping us. I haven't even met him in person yet. I want to thank him."
Li's mother also said, "Yes, we don't even know what our savior looks like. This is unacceptable."
Wen Zhixia shook her head. "He doesn't want to show up, and he doesn't care about this. Don't worry, just wait for the court to start."
Not far from the cemetery.
The Maybach parked quietly by the roadside.
Raindrops slid down the edge of the wide black umbrella. The man under the umbrella had a beautiful jaw and a cold white complexion. He wore a dark gray windbreaker with a light blue shirt and a collar inlaid with diamonds. He looked noble, aloof and unapproachable.
"My goodness, why does it take so long to burn paper?"
Fu Ruoshi looked at his watch impatiently.
This trip can be considered a success, and they will return to Jincheng this morning.
Before leaving, Wen Zhixia suggested seeing Dr. Li.
Fu Ruoshi would of course go along with his beloved's request, but he still had the arrogance of a young master from a wealthy family in his heart and didn't want to show up in public, so he didn't meet Li's father and mother and waited for Wen Zhixia in the car.
I haven't seen her for ten minutes.
Mr. Fu was getting impatient and got out of the car to get some fresh air, but he didn't dare to send her a message to urge her.
"Mr. Fu," Liu Zhen reminded him with some concern, "It's being rumored everywhere that it was the Fu family who overturned Dr. Li's case. You need to think about how to explain this to the chairman."
"What a wonderful thing," Fu Ruoshi smiled indifferently, "What's the use of my explanation? He can do whatever he wants. The worst that can happen is that he can kick me out of the family tree."
As he was speaking, he saw Wen Zhixia supporting Mr. and Mrs. Li and coming down the stairs.
He got in the car and closed the door.
Liu Zhen took an umbrella and went to pick up Wen Zhixia and put her in the car.
Wen Zhixia said goodbye to Li's parents, and the two elders watched her leave.
As soon as they got on the main road, Wen Zhixia couldn't help but complain to someone, "Why are you acting like a young girl? The parents are already at the car door and you didn't even open the window to show them. Are you shy?"
"No... who did you learn this from? Why is your mouth getting more and more rampant?" Fu Ruoshi retorted, "You've become wild after going out, haven't you? Believe it or not, I can kiss you so hard that you can't speak."
Wen Zhixia turned around and touched the door handle, "I'll take a taxi."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Mr. Fu was a giant in words but a dwarf in actions. He finally shared a car with her, so how could he let her go? "I was just joking. You can't take a joke."
"Your jokes are not as funny as your hair."
"Okay, okay, finally telling the truth?" Fu Ruoshi was furious. "Who is responsible for my funny hair? Who cut it?"
Wen Zhixia was in the wrong, so he just smiled and didn't refute.
In fact, Fu Ruoshi really likes the back-and-forth banter with Wen Zhixia. Wen Zhixia is the only one who can make him speechless, and he doesn't get angry but feels happy instead.
He admitted that he was a bit of a masochist, but only towards her.
"Hey Liu Zhen, take us to Mayfair," Fu Ruoshi said, "She and I will have a simple Western meal at noon."
"No need to go to so much trouble," Wen Zhixia put away her smile and distanced herself from him again. "Just drop me off in the city. I'm going back to my grandfather's house."
