Su Yue hurried over.
As soon as she reached the entrance, she saw police officers from the Yuluo Street police station arriving, among them was Chen Ziming.
He did not notice her presence, entering the building directly and disappearing from Su Yue's sight near the stairs.
He reappeared in the stairwell window on each floor.
Until the fifth floor, where he vanished completely.
Su Yue felt a fear she had never experienced before, not even when Su Minghua had pinned her down on the bed.
Feng Jingjing's position was so perilous, it seemed as if she would be blown off at any second, landing with a splat before Su Yue's eyes.
Although the floor wasn't that high, a fall from it would either be fatal or leave her crippled.
This was the first time she had faced the fear of death.
She stood there, frozen, only able to tilt her head back, her gaze not daring to leave Feng Jingjing for a second.
When Chen Ziming reached the top floor, he first took a moment to catch his breath and calm himself.
At the same time, he temporarily held back his colleagues who had followed him up, signaling them to stay away from the rooftop for now.
They had also notified the fire department, who were on their way to set up a rescue airbag.
After regaining a semblance of composure, Chen Ziming walked through the rooftop door.
"Feng Jingjing," he called out to her.
The girl standing at the edge of the building clearly paused, then turned around directly.
The onlookers below gasped instantly.
Su Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes, her mouth opening, but no sound came out. Thankfully, she hadn't fallen.
"Officer Chen, you're finally willing to talk to me." A smile appeared on her pale face, making her look even more haggard.
"Yes, come over here first, and I'll talk to you properly," Chen Ziming said softly as he slowly approached.
However, Feng Jingjing took a small step back.
The young officer stopped in his tracks, raising his arms and leaning forward slightly: "Don't move, I'm not coming any closer."
"Officer Chen, do you like Su Yue that much?" she suddenly asked, her tone filled with resentment.
The people below couldn't hear what was being said upstairs, only watching nervously.
Chen Ziming's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face. His expression remained gentle as he slowly replied:
"This has nothing to do with the current situation. Come down from the ledge first, and I'll take you downstairs."
"I always believed in you, Officer Chen, but not anymore. You're just a man swayed by beauty. If I were pretty enough, you would have been with me long ago."
Her voice suddenly grew louder, so much so that the people below could hear her clearly.
Su Yue covered her mouth, looking helplessly at the girl who was beginning to lose her composure.
When emotions ran high, people were more prone to foolish actions.
If she truly jumped...
But she was willing to believe in Chen Ziming. He would surely handle this situation well, pacify Feng Jingjing, and help her get down from the building safely.
On the rooftop.
Feng Jingjing's words seemed to have no effect on the man. A slight smile appeared on his face, and he slowly replied:
"You're right. I'm just an ordinary man, not worth you doing something so foolish."
Before Feng Jingjing could say more, he spoke first:
"To be loved by others, you must first learn to love yourself. Su Yue would never do something like this. If she ever found out I didn't love her, she would dump me first."
"She might even..."
Seeing that Feng Jingjing was starting to listen to him with a dazed expression, Chen Ziming subtly shifted his focus to another direction.
Feng Jingjing's gaze followed his shift, and he quietly extended a hand, signaling his colleagues who were observing from the shadows to approach cautiously.
Meanwhile, he kept his eyes fixed on Feng Jingjing, patiently and slowly continuing:
"She might even find a younger, more handsome man than me to alleviate her inner distress."
"She might not even feel distressed, but rather be quite happy about it."
A look of shock appeared on Feng Jingjing's face, and she asked in disbelief:
"You like her so much even though she's so promiscuous?"
Her voice was still loud, loud enough for the people below to hear.
At that moment, murmurs arose from the crowd.
Su Yue stood there, stunned.
Was she talking about her?
"Yes. That's why I'm just a common man. The more she loves herself, and the less she cares about me, the more I like her."
"So, Feng Jingjing, doing this for me is not worth it, do you understand?"
