The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

"What the hell do you mean, son!"

"Xiao Chen!" Fang Chi cried out in fright, covering his mouth. He immediately got out of the car, dialed the police, and explained the location.

Chen Yunting was trembling with fear, still calling out "Son, son!" for Chen Jingmo. He gripped the railing as if to jump, then pulled his leg back, telling Fang Chi to call the police. Fang Chi punched him hard, saying, "Didn't you say you'd talk to your son nicely? How did you drive him to jump into the river?!"

"I was trying to talk to him nicely, but then he suddenly said something about dying once to give me back my life... Chen Jingmo! Chen Jingmo! Is anyone there? Please come and save my son! Please come and save him!"

Chen Yunting's voice cracked from shouting, and finally a passing car stopped. A man said he could swim, but he stood by the bridge looking at the dark water below and didn't dare to go in. When he heard Chen Yunting say that it was his son who jumped in, he looked at him with a mocking expression, "These days, parents, when will they drive their own children to their deaths, when will they regret it?"

Chen Yunting understood that he was being sarcastic, "When did I ever force him! He's the one forcing me! He insists on cutting ties with me!"

The man said that Chen Yunting was now just angry and frustrated, and in a fit of impotent rage.

Chen Yunting pounded the railing twice and shouted Chen Jingmo's name at the top of his lungs, but there was no response. His legs gave way and he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Perhaps it's true, as many people say, that we only learn to cherish things after we lose them, and only when our minds are stretched to the limit do all those past events, those impatient tones, those subconsciously ignored glances, and countless other things become clear.

Police, ambulances, and firefighters arrived within ten minutes.

Yunshui Bridge is the largest bridge in Beijing. The river below is swift and has many branches. Every second of delay increases the danger for Chen Jingmo. But it is the middle of the night, and he can't see the water flow or anyone else at all.

The rescue operation continued until 6 a.m. the next day, when a crowd had gathered outside the cordon of Yunshui Bridge.

On the other side, Shi Qianqiu was waiting for the food deliveryman at Chen Jingmo's door. He hadn't slept all night and still smelled faintly of alcohol.

A call came in from an unknown number, and Shi Qianqiu answered it.

"Feed".

"Xiao Shi, come quick to Yunshui Bridge! Xiao Chen jumped into the river!"

Shi Qianqiu's ears immediately started ringing, and his throat felt blocked, preventing him from making a sound, yet he still ran down the steps three at a time.

On the way to Yunshui Bridge, Fang Chi told Shi Qianqiu what had happened.

She didn't know that Chen Yunting was going to see Chen Jingmo that night. She only found out when she heard the door open and noticed that Chen Yunting was dressed neatly. When she found out, she felt something was wrong. Why did they have to go to the bridge to chat? But she didn't think too much about it. Besides, she felt that Chen Jingmo wasn't such an impulsive person.

On the way, she repeatedly told Chen Yunting to speak nicely to Chen Jingmo. In the short time it took her to blow her nose, Chen Jingmo jumped off the building.

When Shi Qianqiu arrived, Chen Yunting was clinging to the railing, saying he was returning the money to Chen Jingmo and that he shouldn't have neglected him because of Pang Nanxing. His eyes were swollen and his beard was unshaven. When he saw Shi Qianqiu, he staggered over and pulled him, "Shi Qianqiu, I didn't mean to treat Momo like that, please tell him—"

Shi Qianqiu brushed Chen Yunting's hand away, went to communicate with the police, put on her life jacket, and went down with the rescuers.

His mind was numb, his whole body was numb.

He was thinking that he should have ignored Chen Jingmo's wishes and let the locksmith force the lock open, then take Chen Jingmo away, trap him in the house, and put him in chains, so that he wouldn't jump into the river.

He should take Chen Jingmo to a place where no one knows them, hold hands and hug every day, and be an ordinary young couple.

At this moment, Shi Qianqiu had a ring and a necklace in his pocket. Since Chen Jingmo didn't like wearing rings, he would wear them around his neck. He had planned this yesterday. But last night, Lu Sui sent him a message saying that Chen Jingmo longed for a ring and was always secretly staring at his ring. He also said that Chen Jingmo always said the opposite of what he meant and couldn't be trusted.

How ridiculous! He bought a ring to give to his lover, but she chose to lie and hide it because he was incompetent and unable to show the relationship to outsiders, and often pretended to be indifferent.

Now he's been forced to jump into the river.

Shi Qianqiu lowered his eyes and let out a painful, muffled laugh.

They still couldn't find anyone by nightfall. The river was too deep. The police searched for a whole week, deploying three or four times the usual number of officers.

The next morning, Lu Sui asked Shi Qianqiu, "Is Chen Jingmo happy?"

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Xiu asked Shen Qinghuai to bring him to Yunshui Bridge. He collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, calling out "Brother Chen" to the railing. He repeatedly said, "You lied to me," and that jumping into the river was the same as jumping off a building. He cursed Chen Jingmo as a bastard and silently committed suicide.

He said Chen Jingmo was a terrible person, never replying to any of his messages. He thought Chen Jingmo's phone was out of credit, so he topped it up with 300 yuan, but Chen Jingmo still wouldn't reply. He cried terribly, "You deceived my feelings! How could you commit suicide? Did you even think about us?"

"I told you to tell us if you had any grievances, but you just kept quiet and bottled them up. I couldn't take it anymore, so I jumped off a building and went with you!"

Shen Qinghuai pulled Jiang Xiu back, saying, "If they haven't been found, they're still alive. Don't be impulsive."

Turning around, he saw Lu Sui standing by the railing. He led Jiang Xiu over, carried the two of them back to the car, and locked the car door to prevent them from doing anything dangerous.

Jiang Xiu said he wouldn't do anything rash and that he was just talking nonsense. He also wanted to put on a life jacket and go find Chen Jingmo. Shen Qinghuai said, "The rescue boat that the rescuers are on has already gone far away. It's impossible for it to come back and wait for us to get on. What we need to do is stay calm and not panic."

For the next few days, Jiang Xiu and Lu Sui stopped going to school. They would arrive at Yunshui Bridge the moment they opened their eyes. Shen Qinghuai was really afraid that the two children would jump off, so he found two ropes, tied Lu Sui's right hand with his left hand, and tied Jiang Xiu's left hand with his right hand.

Jiang Xiu was always crying, and his eyes were swollen like a sad frog every day. Whenever he cried, Lu Sui's eyes would also turn red with sadness. On the fifth day, Shen Qinghuai stopped bringing the two of them.

The principal hadn't seen Chen Jingmo for a long time. He had a bunch of candy in his pocket. He called Chen Ziqiu and learned about this. He couldn't eat for several days, lost five or six pounds, and his high blood pressure was gone. He spent his days leading the staff around the school to see where there were any safety hazards.

The counseling room has been moved and many more rooms have been added. The number of security guards has increased to sixty. Even at noon, they have to eat their lunch while patrolling. If they see someone going to the counseling room, they quickly turn around and pretend they didn't see them, for fear of making them uncomfortable or turning around and leaving.

Shi Qianqiu dared not go home because Chen Jingmo was not there. His eyes were bloodshot. As usual, he lived upstairs from Chen Jingmo, waiting there when he woke up, knocking on the door on time in the morning, noon and night to remind Chen Jingmo that it was time to eat.

The old man across the street also found out about this and didn't know how to comfort Shi Qianqiu. She sighed and couldn't eat. After developing a fever, she was taken away by her family. Shi Qianqiu was the only one left on the entire fourth floor.

Zhao Han went to the supermarket and bought a can of Red Bull. After drinking it, he felt energetic and grabbed Shi Qianqiu's collar, saying that Chen Jingmo was dead and that he should let it go.

Shi Qianqiu beat him up.

Zhao Han: ...Work-related injuries must be reimbursed.
