"Thank you Su Chen, but I really don't have that much money. Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be worth that much. Just let me die..." Mo Xiaoxiao said with immense sadness.
"No worries, it's just fifty million, right? I'll cover it for you, let's get you up first." Su Chen could feel the tiles under his hand starting to crack slowly.
Logically, the hardness of the tiles should be able to withstand the weight of two people.
Damn shoddy construction!
But it's not really shoddy.
After all, these tiles were only meant as decoration, now suddenly bearing over 200 pounds, it's reasonable that they can't handle it.
"Xiaoxiao, come up quickly, don't do anything foolish!" At this moment, Mo Xiaoxiao's classmates had finally reached the window and were urging her.
"Come up for what? To be ridiculed by you? To make you look better by comparison?" Mo Xiaoxiao scoffed at herself.
Through today, she had completely seen through the true colors of these so-called old classmates.
All of them are opportunists, coming closer only when it benefits them.
She thought to herself, she wasn't even close with them, why did they invite her to the reunion? Turns out it was just to use her.
Mo Xiaoxiao was a bit emotional, which made Su Chen even more worried.
He said to the people at the window: "Everyone, get back inside!"
Though people were somewhat displeased by Su Chen's shout, human life was at stake at the moment.
If Su Chen failed to hold on, both of them could fall.
They had no choice but to listen to Su Chen.
"Lin Xi can stay here," Su Chen added.
"Su Chen, hold on," Lin Xi didn't know what to do.
Su Chen was only holding on by a few fingers at the window's edge, and she wanted to help but couldn't.
Besides, she didn't have the strength to do so.
Not to mention her, even an adult would struggle to support the weight of two people.
Although Su Chen appeared lean, he actually had a lot of muscles, so he was not light.
Mo Xiaoxiao, though petite, also weighed about eighty to ninety pounds.
Together, they weighed around 250 to 260 pounds; without significant arm strength, it'd be impossible to pull them up.
Especially since the edge of the window was wide, trying to pull Su Chen up meant standing on the very edge of the window, which was very dangerous itself.
If one rashly tried to help, it could lead to both falling down instead of rescuing the person.
Su Chen needed to make sure Mo Xiaoxiao stayed calm, as any sudden movements could hasten the tiles' breakage.
Even if both fell, he had the means to save Mo Xiaoxiao, but unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to reveal too much.
After all, there were already quite a few people standing below.
"Xiaoxiao, trust me, things are really not as serious as you think. Lin Xi, your old classmate, she's actually very wealthy. Have you heard of Yimena Group? Look back, yes, that building right across from you, she is the biggest shareholder and acting president of Yimena Group. We really can help you." Spending fifty million to help someone not close might seem foolish.
But Su Chen didn't see it that way.
Although he had killed many people, at one time human life was less significant than straw in front of him.
He is the Death God, synonymous with death.
Yet, precisely because he experienced so much life and death, he understood one thing.
In this world, nothing is more precious than life.
As long as life persists, everything is still possible.
Then truly, everything is gone.
Like those brothers from the Reverse Dragon Group who have died, if he could bring them back to life, then Su Chen would be willing to spend his entire fortune.
Unfortunately, that's not possible.
No matter how rich he is.
They can't be brought back to life.
So, he respects every single life.
"The president of Yimena..." Mo Xiaoxiao looked up at Lin Xi. Although she had just returned to the country, she was aware of the Yimena Group.
It's one of the top businesses in Jiangdu City.
If Lin Xi really is the president of Yimena, then she indeed could come up with fifty million.
"Xiaoxiao, believe in Su Chen, he didn't lie to you, I really am the president of Yimena." Lin Xi finally revealed her identity.
Mo Xiaoxiao believed her.
Thinking back on what happened today.
Facing her old classmates' various targeting and pressure, Lin Xi remained calm and composed, always so graceful in her demeanor.
Previously, she didn't understand.
If it were her, could she have endured such targeting by old classmates?
But for Lin Xi, it was as though she felt nothing at all.
Now she finally understood why.
It turns out, Lin Xi was a multibillionaire goddess CEO.
The more you trample, the more you're slapping your own face violently...
However, despite her belief, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't plan to let Lin Xi help her.
After all, it's a favor of fifty million.
Could she ever repay it?
Why should she take someone else's money?
"Thank you, EVE, thank you, Su Chen, thank you for your kindness…" A trace of relief appeared in Mo Xiaoxiao's eyes.
But Su Chen could see that this woman was still determined to die.
"Hey, since you're determined to die, I'll join you then; I can't hold on much longer anyway." Su Chen suddenly sighed.
Only then did Mo Xiaoxiao realize.
Su Chen had been holding onto the window ledge for a long time already.
Keep in mind, at this point he was bearing the weight of two people.
It had been several minutes.
"Su Chen, don't do this, I have nothing left, if I die, I die, but you're different, you're so capable, and you have such a wonderful wife... and me, even if I die, probably no one would remember…" A forlorn expression surfaced in Mo Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Mo Xiaoxiao had been orphaned early, having grown up in an orphanage, she vowed to change her life.
She studied hard and worked part-time jobs while studying.
Eventually, she completed her education and even managed to go abroad to improve herself using the money she earned.
She thought returning to the country marked the beginning of a beautiful life, only to encounter such an incident.
She wasn't a woman easily driven to despair.
But fifty million truly made her feel hopeless.
"Xiaoxiao, don't talk like that, I remember you. Do you remember? Back in Shannan High School, when several hooligans were bullying me, none of them stood up to help me, only you..."
"You still remember..." Mo Xiaoxiao recalled the past.
Actually, it wasn't as serious as Lin Xi described, it was just some male classmates verbally harassing Lin Xi. Lin Xi, not good with words,
Mo Xiaoxiao had spoken up a few sentences on her behalf.
Just a small matter...
Yet Lin Xi still remembered.
Is such a small matter worth fifty million?
"Xiaoxiao, you don't want Su Chen to be harmed following you, do you? Please, I beg you to come up, I love him so much, I don't want him to get hurt..." Lin Xi pleaded with clenched teeth.
