    Chapter 62: Imprisoned and jumped off the building Cheng Cheng was lying on the bed, his eyes blank…

    Cheng Cheng lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling blankly, sighing one after another: “Alas… alas…”

    He has been locked up in an apartment on the 22nd floor of this unfamiliar neighborhood for five days.

    On the day Wei Zhi sent him back to Pujiang, after bringing him here, he seemed to have disappeared from the world and never showed his face again.

    Not surprisingly, this apartment is equipped with a signal jammer, and the mobile phone is like a piece of broken iron, unable to receive any outside signals.

    An aunt would come to cook on time every day, and after finishing the day’s rations, she would leave silently, without saying a word the whole time, and rarely even making eye contact with him.

    Cheng Cheng tried to plead with his aunt, begging her to open the door and let him out, but her aunt just had red eyes with helplessness and begged him in a low voice not to embarrass herself anymore.

    Cheng Cheng didn’t have any entertainment at all. The only thing he had access to were English books on the wall in the study room of his apartment.

    The obscure words were like a heavenly book. He couldn’t read a single word, so he could only lie in bed all day long and sleep with his head covered. But even with his eyes closed, he was still tossing and turning.

    To be honest, he was worried about Wei Zhi’s mental state.

    The unwillingness and hatred in Wei Zhi’s heart have never been truly suppressed, let alone relieved.

    Those disabled legs, as well as the things Li Haitian was forced to do, were like poisonous thorns piercing his heart, wearing away his sanity bit by bit, which resulted in the almost crazy appearance he has now.

    While praying for Wei Zhineng to let him out, Cheng Cheng also wanted to see how he was doing now, to see how he was doing now, and whether another person was hiding in the dark.

    What should I do to see Wei Zhi?

    And his review plan, which has been prepared for so long and cost so much effort, must not just go awry.

    He folded his hands behind his head and slowly closed his eyes. His mind was racing, thinking over and over again about how to get out.

    It’s stupid to go on a hunger strike. If you have to starve for several days, you might collapse before Wei Zhi shows up;

    Not to mention hitting the wall, it hurts too much, the skull is my own, if I really hit it, everything will be ruined in the future, let alone the exam.

    Suddenly, an idea came out and I jumped off the building.

    This method is the fastest and can scare Wei Zhi the best. As long as he panics, he will definitely appear. When the time comes, he can take advantage of the chaos to escape, getting the best of both worlds.

    Cheng Chengyi Gulu got up from the bed, rushed to the balcony eagerly, pushed open the window, and the cold wind rushed in instantly.

    He looked down and saw that the 22nd floor was straight down. The figures on the ground were as small as ants. A wave of dizziness hit him, and he shrank subconsciously. The timidity in his heart surged up, and he involuntarily took half a step back.

    If it really falls, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to put all the bones back together.

    He took a deep breath of the cold air, gritted his teeth, forget it, and kept doing it.

    Now is the best time. In ten minutes, the cooking aunt will arrive, just in time for her to send a message to Wei Zhi.

    He turned around and rushed into the study, and laboriously moved the heavy solid wood chair to the balcony. Without any hesitation, he took off his shoes and stood on it.

    The wind outside the window was not too strong, and Cheng Cheng’s large pajamas and pajamas were bulging in the cold wind, as if they were wrapped in a layer of empty fabric.

    His feet stepped on the cold wood, and the chill crept up the soles of his feet little by little. He held onto the window frame tightly, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably, and even his teeth began to chatter.

    Sure enough, ten minutes later, there was a slight sound from the door lock, and the cooking aunt came on time.

    As for Cheng Cheng, he had been exposed to the cold wind for a full ten minutes. The blood on his face had completely faded, and the original redness on his lips had also disappeared, leaving a faint bluish white color.

    “What are you doing!?” The aunt opened the door and saw Cheng Cheng standing on the balcony chair at a glance. Her eyes suddenly widened and she screamed. The vegetable basket she was holding fell to the ground with a clang, and the vegetables and eggs rolled all over the floor.

    She stumbled towards the balcony, but Cheng Cheng scolded her when she was still three to five meters away: “Don’t come over. If you dare to come over, I’ll jump right away!”

    The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his pale face was full of feigned anger, but the weakness in his eyes could not be hidden.

    “It’s easy to say, don’t jump!” The aunt was so frightened that she immediately stopped, squatted on the ground with her legs weak, raised her arms tremblingly, and said in a crying voice, “I also have a son who is studying in college, and he relies on my job to support his studies. If you have something wrong, I will definitely not be able to keep my job. I will have to sweep the streets and I can’t afford to support him… Please, really don’t jump off the building!”

    She knew in her heart that the person who hired her was a big shot that she couldn’t afford to offend.

    Although I don’t know the identity of Cheng Cheng who is imprisoned here, but to be specially guarded by such a person, she is not an ordinary person, and she can’t afford to offend anyone.

    When she was hired, she was warned not to meddle in other people’s business and not to show any compassion. Otherwise, her son would never be able to go to college again.

    After saying that, the aunt slowly bent her knees, and with a bang, she knelt on the ground: “Kneel down for you…let me go.”

    Cheng Cheng’s heart was shocked, and he felt extremely sour. He squeezed the window frame with his hand and said, “I want to contact the person who hired you. You call him.”

    The aunt trembled and took out her mobile phone, found the number and dialed it, praying in her heart that it would be connected.

    Fortunately, the call was connected.

    She turned on the speakerphone as if she had found a life-saving straw: “Boss He, Boss He! He is going to jump off the building!”

    He Rui was shocked and clenched the phone with both hands: “Who is going to jump off the building?”

    Cheng Cheng smiled and snorted: “It’s me! If I don’t see Wei Zhi today, I will jump off the 22nd floor so that he can’t even put my bones together. Anyway, my parents are both dead, so there is nothing to worry about after they die. He can also get married as soon as possible.”

    He Rui’s heart beat like a drum, and Secretary He, who was so articulate, started to stutter: “Xiao Cheng, don’t get excited, I’ll tell him right away!”

    “Aunt Zhang, you must watch him!”

    The call was cut off.

    Cheng Cheng was sweating all over his body. He was afraid that if the cold wind continued to blow, he would really get sick.

    The conference room on the top floor was eerily empty, and even the air had a biting chill.

    Only Wei Zhiduan was sitting in a wheelchair, with an indifferent expression on his face, and his whole body exuded a coldness that kept strangers away from him. There was a man prostrate at his feet.

    The man was obviously an alpha, but he didn’t dare to raise his head at all. He touched the toe of Wei Zhi’s shoe with trembling hands: “Please, Mr. Wei, please find a way out of my life. I’m a loser. He’s so cunning. He’s like a loach. He even found a substitute. When we found out, he had already smuggled himself to Country K.”

    “Opportunity?” Wei Zhi’s mouth curved slightly, but his expression became colder and colder, “Book a flight ticket tonight, fly to Country K yourself, and finish him off. If you can’t do it, don’t come back.”

    “No!” The man cried with tears streaming down his face, his body shaking like chaff, “Mr. Wei, I will definitely catch him with my own hands! I promise, I will bring him back to you this time! Please give me one more chance, just once!”

    “Oh?” Wei Zhi raised his eyebrows and pinched the man’s chin with slight force with his fingertips, causing pain. “I assigned you the best investigation team and spent so much manpower and material resources, but you still let him run away. Tell me, how should I spare you?”

    The man’s tears dripped on the toes of Wei Zhi’s shoes, and some tears gathered on the tip of his nose and trembled slightly: “You don’t need help in country K. I will check it out myself, and I will definitely find it! Please give me another chance…”

    “Move your hand.” The corners of Wei Zhi’s mouth raised slightly, but his expression became colder.

    It was as if he couldn’t see the man’s heavy kowtows one after another, and allowed him to continue kowtowing like this until there were blood stains on his forehead.

    After a long time, Wei Zhicai finally spoke softly, without any warmth in his tone: “Okay. I’ll give you another chance. If you still can’t handle it, you know the consequences.”

    “Thank you, Mr. Wei, thank you, Mr. Wei!” The man burst into tears with gratitude. He quickly grabbed the leather bag beside him and rushed out the door with his head lowered. He happened to bump into the extremely anxious Secretary He.

    He Rui pushed him away without looking, and walked quickly to Wei Zhi: “Boss, Aunt Zhang just called and said that Cheng Cheng is going to jump off the building.”

    Wei Zhi suddenly raised his head, and his calm eyes immediately stirred up a storm. His eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, “Quickly, let’s go!”

    On the other side, Cheng Cheng was almost frozen to death, his hands and feet were so stiff that he could hardly control his movements, but he still insisted on holding on with a determined look to die. Facing the cold wind, he held the window frame tightly with his hands, tilted his head, and pretended to have a heartbroken look on his face.

    “Cheng Cheng!” Wei Zhi’s voice was hoarse and his eyes were red, “Get down!”

    Cheng Cheng finally heard a familiar voice. He turned back slightly, but still leaned back, half leaning out of the window: “Don’t come over, I’ll jump if you dare me to come over!”

    He had a nasal voice that sounded like he was crying.

    “No!!” Wei Zhi almost shouted, staring at the contact between the window frame and Cheng Cheng’s body with eyes wide open, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe, “The window frame is not strong, get down quickly!”

    Cheng Cheng twitched his lips indifferently and smiled bitterly: “Haha, so what if it’s dangerous? You don’t love me anyway. If you lock me here, I won’t even be able to pass the college entrance examination. The road ahead will be dark. What’s the point of living?”

    “I love you, come down.” Wei Zhi almost blurted out. Severe pain hit his chest, and his breathing became faster and faster, as if he was being suffocated to death.

    “No, you don’t love me. You have already said those words to me, and we can never go back to the past. Wei Zhi, please let me go. Let’s go back to the bridge. I will move away from your house after the divorce formalities are completed. If you are willing to let me see Qiu Yao again…”

    Cheng Cheng frowned tightly, with disappointment and sadness in his eyes, and stared at Wei Zhi quietly.

    “Impossible…” Wei Zhi covered his chest, his eyes filled with madness, “You can never escape from me.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhi suddenly felt a severe angina pectoris, and his whole body seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and he suddenly leaned back.

    The body of the person sitting in the wheelchair was shaking violently, and gradually he could no longer support it. The wheelchair began to tilt. He tilted his head, his teeth were tightly closed, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

    He Rui was so frightened that he rushed forward to hold the wheelchair.

    “He’s having a seizure, don’t let him bite his tongue, call an ambulance!”

    Cheng Cheng shouted loudly, his heart was tightly grasped, and he wanted to jump off the chair to check Wei Zhi’s condition. Unexpectedly, the cold sweat on the soles of his feet slipped against the smooth solid wood chair. His center of gravity was unstable, and he fell straight backwards.

    For a moment, a lot of things flashed through his mind, including the appearance of his parents, the small lamp during review, Wei Zhi’s gentle eyes in normal times, and his appearance when he was crazy… In the end, a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

    It seems that he really wants to confess here.

    But the next second, he didn’t feel the severe pain he expected. Instead, he landed on a soft air mattress. His body rebounded slightly and then stopped firmly.

    Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, then stood up slowly. He was surprised to find that there was a retractable platform device on the outer wall of the 20th floor. At this moment, a section of the platform was stretched out, and a simple fence was installed around it to support him steadily.

    It turned out that Wei Zhi had anticipated this possibility and had prepared everything for him.

    However, since he had already taken precautions, why did he still say the three words “I love you” to himself?Why do I have epileptic seizures because of my words?

    Cheng Cheng didn’t have time to think deeply and quickly looked up at the balcony on the 22nd floor.

    There was already chaos there. He Rui was hurriedly taking care of Wei Zhi, and the medical staff seemed to have arrived.

    He didn’t die, but Wei Zhi’s epilepsy relapsed again, and he was angry both times.

    Cheng Cheng lowered his head feebly. He might be really a disaster. He had a hard life, but he killed his parents, and now he wants to kill his relatives and friends.

    Wei Zhi has the best medical team and the most professional people to take care of him. If he goes up now, it will only add to the chaos, which will not be conducive to his recovery.

    It’s better to leave here first and wait until Wei Zhi’s mood stabilizes before making plans.

    Cheng Cheng no longer hesitated, climbed onto the balcony on the 20th floor on his hands and knees, and tried to twist the door lock.

    This turned out to be a coded lock that could be opened and closed normally. He randomly tried a few simple numbers, and the door lock opened with a “click”.

    He opened the door and ran wildly, rushing out of the apartment building and community, running barefoot on the road.

    He was penniless, without a mobile phone, barefoot, with dust on his face, and a gray face. He looked like a tramp, even more embarrassed than a tramp.

    He stood on the side of the road and hailed several taxis. The drivers either pretended not to notice and sped away, or they glanced at him and drove past without hesitation. No one was willing to take him.

    Just when he was about to despair, a taxi slowly stopped.

    Cheng Cheng rushed over, bent down by the car window, and said in an urgent and pleading tone: “Master, don’t go! Please give me a ride. I have sleepwalking. I ran out of the house when I fell asleep. I didn’t bring any money with me. When I get home, I will definitely pay you the fare. I will never lie to you!”

    The driver hesitantly let Cheng Cheng get in the car. He was relieved when he saw that Cheng Cheng didn’t smell like a homeless person.

    Cheng Cheng took a taxi to the residence of Xu Zhiping and Tian Qianqian, and said apologetically, “I’m going to bother them for a few more days.”

    Seeing his appearance, Xu Zhiping gave him the money without saying a word.

    After taking a bath at Xu Zhiping’s house and putting on thick clothes, Cheng Cheng sat down and told the couple everything, and shed tears involuntarily as he spoke.

    Xu Zhiping was very generous. He patted Cheng Cheng on the shoulder: “Chengzi, no matter what, you have to go to the exam. You can live here with peace of mind. I can provide for you until the exam is over.”

    Cheng Cheng stood up hurriedly and bowed to the two of them: “I still have some money in my card. I can pay the rent, and I will pay it according to the market price outside. If you don’t accept it, I will go wandering outside!”

    Xu Zhiping and Tian Qianqian couldn’t agree on the process, so they had to agree on the rent.

    Cheng Cheng borrowed Xu Zhiping’s mobile phone and logged into his bank account, and found that all the money he had transferred to Shen Pingjun had been transferred back.

    He quickly logged into WeChat and saw the message Shen Pingjun sent a week ago.

    “Cheng Cheng, after working in this business for so long, I have also saved some money. I must not take your money. Five thousand and fifty thousand, totaling five thousand and five thousand, I transferred it all back to you. It is also a thank you for waking me up and letting me know that I can’t continue to make mistakes. I will continue to look for a job. I am willing to even sweep the streets. It is better to work at a low salary than to step on the legal and moral bottom line.”

    Cheng Cheng looked at the news with mixed feelings in his heart. He did not feel relieved because the money was returned, but became increasingly heavy.He was silent for a long time, only replied with an OK emoticon, and then logged out of WeChat.

    He sat on the sofa and subconsciously wanted to touch a cigarette again.

    He picked up the chewing gum on the table, opened the package, and threw two pieces into his mouth. The refreshing feeling of mint surged up, but he still couldn’t suppress the irritability and guilt in his heart.

    At this moment, he suddenly realized his problem.

    He didn’t tell Wei Zhi about Shen Pingjun from the beginning. Even though he knew Wei Zhi might be able to help him, he still chose to carry it on his own.

    He had never smoked in front of Wei Zhi, and he had never told him the real anxiety and uneasiness in his heart.

    Just like this time, he didn’t take the initiative to reveal Cheng Xianggui’s matter, and he didn’t give his complete self to Wei Zhi without reservation.

    He relied on Wei Zhi, got used to Wei Zhi’s care, and was used to Wei Zhi shielding him from wind and rain. But on the other hand, he subconsciously regarded Wei Zhi as a “patient” and felt that he should be taken more care of because of his disabled legs and fragile emotions.

    But he forgot that Wei Zhi also needed to be understood, trusted, and honest.

    Many times, instead of talking to Wei Zhi, he would rather hide, smoke a cigarette, and hide all his emotions in the smoke.

    A cigarette seems to be more of a qualified person to talk to than Wei Zhi, who has his heart and eyes full of him.

    Cheng Cheng closed his eyes, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind. Those bad habits that he had deliberately ignored, those moments of dishonesty and distrust were all revealed one by one at this moment, making his heart ache.
