Chapter 825: Saving People, Right? Who Isn't Saving?

"He is already dead; we have to go save others."

Li Ye's shout scared everyone silly, and a group of people rumbled toward the rooftop.

Save others? Save whom?

Besides Gu Jianqi, who else was there?

"The elevator is too late, hurry up the stairs."

"Li Ye, you go up first and see if Old Gu is up there..."

"..."

By the time everyone reacted, Li Ye had already scurried up two flights of stairs.

He was also anxious in his heart.

Originally, regarding the behavior of Gu Jianqi and Secretary Guo, Li Ye had always maintained an attitude of "not disturbing, not interfering." If people wanted to get rich, he should meddle less in other people's business.

But when Li Ye saw Secretary Guo in free fall outside the window, he felt self-doubt about whether he had been too indifferent.

It wasn't that Li Ye felt guilty about Secretary Guo's death; after all, whether the other party died or not had nothing to do with Li Ye.

But Secretary Guo's death would affect Watching Liu Muhan.

Although Secretary Guo was a secretary, his rank was not low. To die in a foreign land like this, the higher-ups would definitely investigate in detail.

By that time, some insignificant small flaws would also be infinitely magnified.

Why did Secretary Guo have the opportunity to go to the rooftop to jump off? He left your sight; why didn't anyone follow him?

You say Secretary Guo jumped off because of stock speculation failure? How did he have the opportunity to come into contact with stocks? How could the management of your project introduction inspection team be so lax?

So, as the key figure in this project introduction, Watching Liu Muhan—if she doesn't take the blame, who will?

Watching Liu Muhan's father and mother had a life-and-death friendship with Li Ye's grandfather, and Watching Liu Muhan was getting along well with Wen Leyu now. If Li Ye's "indifference" led to the interruption of Watching Liu Muhan's political career, Li Ye wouldn't know how to explain it to his family.

Li Ye made a decision in an instant.

【Must let Gu Jianqi take the blame.】

When the time comes, just say Gu Jianqi had a high rank and wanted to act privately, and Watching Liu Muhan couldn't stop him at all. Anyway, he was the source of the error. Pushing the responsibility onto him, Li Ye felt there was no problem.

But if Gu Jianqi also jumped off the rooftop, then everything would be over.

Although the old guy was in the second line, his rank was higher than Ma Zhao's! Someone must be responsible.

So Li Ye used all his strength to run wildly this time, which could be considered using all his strength.

Anyone who has run up stairs knows that the exercise effect of running one flight of stairs is more significant than running fifty meters.

Li Ye scurried up more than twenty floors in one breath. When he ran to the rooftop, he couldn't help but pant and shout "Damn."

Because looking around, there were dozens of people on the rooftop, several of whom were already standing on the edge of the rooftop, their eyes blank and muttering to themselves, one foot already stepped into the exclusive economic zone of the King of Hell.

And the remaining people were also crying and hesitant, having the attitude of "You jump first, I'll consider it and come too."

However, Gu Jianqi didn't approach the edge of the rooftop and was very quiet, but the cigarette in his hand had already burned to his fingers, yet he seemed not to feel the pain.

【Hmm, as long as you are afraid of death, it's fine.】

Li Ye felt settled in his heart and found a place where he could save people at any time, intending to wait for Ma Zhao and the others to come up.

"Ah!"

A shrill shout attracted Li Ye's attention.

He saw a man who had already climbed over the railing, stood on the very edge of the rooftop, opened his mouth, and cried out with all his might, as if cheering himself up.

But his two hands were clutching the railing tightly, and no matter how he cried, he didn't let go.

This was the most obvious case of saying one thing but doing another.

But Li Ye saw another person who silently took off his shoes, inserted a folded note into them, and then, without haste, climbed over the railing, jumped lightly, and went with the wind.

Li Ye was shocked.

It turned out that when people were in despair, they didn't even want to waste the strength to shout. They wrote a suicide note, seeking only a quick death.

"Mia, I love you. Tell the children for me... I love them."

A series of English with a crying tone entered Li Ye's ears, and then Li Ye saw Ludwig from the Lighthouse technical team.

He was holding a phone, with tear stains on his face, walking step by step to the edge of the rooftop. Until the last moment of his life, he couldn't bear to cut off contact with his family.

But in the end, Ludwig still stood on the edge of the rooftop. Even though the woman on the other end of the phone was crying and begging, it didn't stop his step forward.

Almost at the same time, Li Ye's figure also pounced over like a cheetah.

So when Ludwig felt his body suspended in the air for a moment, a hand grabbed his wrist tightly.

Ludwig looked up blankly and saw Li Ye's face.

Then he said bitterly: "Thank you, please let me be free!"

Li Ye grabbed him tightly and didn't let go, asking decisively: "How much?"

Ludwig was stunned and didn't understand what Li Ye meant.

Li Ye repeated: "How much money do you owe?"

Ludwig opened his mouth and sobbed: "350,000 US dollars."

"Only 350,000?"

However, Li Ye didn't immediately agree but said quickly: "We need an automotive engineer, but you know our mainland is a developing country and it's impossible to give you a very high salary. You report a monthly salary number, and I'll see if I can afford it?"

In Ludwig's eyes, a bright light like stars gradually rose. He blushed and said: "8,000 US dollars, 8,000 US dollars per month, and I can do anything for you."

"Then you might as well go die."

Li Ye shook his hand and was about to "throw" Ludwig out.

Business is business, after all! One must negotiate the price well. Although Li Ye could pay off all 350,000 in minutes, he was a German-American and had to have some "leverage."

But Ludwig, who had been seeking death just now, didn't want to die at all now. People who have died once know better the preciousness of life.

Ludwig grabbed Li Ye's wrist and arm tightly with both hands: "3,500, 3,500 US dollars, no lower. Any lower and I can't pay the interest, and I have two children to raise..."

【You are using your life as a bargaining chip to negotiate salary with me?】

Li Ye smiled and pulled Ludwig up in one go.

"I'll give you 4,000, but don't play tricks on me. Here's the phone; tell your family first that you, son of a bitch, don't want to die."

"..."

"Definitely, thank you, thank you for saving me and saving my family."

Ludwig hurriedly took Li Ye's mobile phone and dialed his wife far across the ocean, crying and repenting like a child.

Just at that moment, he really was prepared never to see his family again.

And at this time, he felt incomparable guilt for his irresponsible behavior just now.

"Li Ye, what are you doing there?"

"Oh, I'm saving someone!"

Li Ye turned his head and saw Ma Zhao, Lu Zhizhang, and the others, who were almost panting like dogs, and couldn't help but show a gratified smile.

Ma Zhao said speechlessly: "You ran up just to save him?"

Li Ye laughed and said: "Saving people, right? Who isn't saving?"

What is most important in the 21st century?

Talent!

Although Ludwig is not Chinese, he is more worth saving than that Gu Jianqi. ===== CHAPTER 826 =====
