No one said a word outside of the District Party Committee Building.
There are no sounds other than the fire burning in the building.
Everyone had held their breath when they saw the female staff fall off the building, and they looked at Dong Xuebing and her in his arms, on the cushions.
One second….
Two seconds….
Three seconds….
“Ah!!!” The female staff suddenly sat up and screamed. She looked at her body and shouted. “I…. I am fine! I am fine!”
She is alive!
The female staff is not injured!
Everyone cheered!
“Good!”
“Thank god!”
When the woman got up slowly, she noticed Dong Xuebing remained kneeling with his arms stretched out. Blood is trickling from his arms, and he is not moving. She can hear him breathing heavily in pain. He must be injured from saving her. He had caught her with his bare hands!
The female staff’s eyes turned red. “Director Dong….”
Dong Xuebing looks up. “Get out from here!”
“But… you….”
“Just move!”
The staff gritted her teeth and ran to safety.
Dong Xuebing looks at his bleeding arms and tries to move his fingers. His left hand is fractured, but his right hand can still move.
Dong Xuebing got back on his feet and shouted towards the roof. “Carry on jumping!”
Dong Xuebing moved everyone at the scene.
Catching someone falling from the sixth floor and cushioning the fall with his body…. This is madness, and the impact might kill him. Even if he is alive, he might lose his arms!
Everyone is shocked by Dong Xuebing.
Even Wang Anshi is looking at him differently.
“Jump!” Dong Xuebing shouted. “Hurry up and jump! I will catch you even as long as I am alive!”
Everyone on the rooftop inhaled deeply.
Geng Yuehua regained her senses quickly and looked at Dong Xuebing. She saw the determination in his eyes, and she forced a word out of her mouth. “Jump!”
Another female staff bit her lips and jumped off the roof.
Twenty meters….
Ten meters….
Five meters….
This female staff is falling headfirst towards the cushions.
Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth and adjusted his direction. He raised his arm to catch that staff’s waist and pushed her forward. He managed to re-position her fall and caught her with his other arm before crashing onto the cushions.
“Ah!!!” The female staff screamed.
Dong Xuebing did not even let out a groan, but sweat poured from his forehead.
The woman screamed, and she could get up after calming down. Her legs were injured, but she could still walk.
It was Dong Xuebing who couldn’t even stand.
“Director Dong!” The female staff cried. “Director Dong….”
Dong Xuebing forced himself to get up and looked up. “Continue to jump! I still can catch you all!”
Ma Jian is covering her mouth and crying.
A few female staff were crying and looking away. They can’t bear to look at Dong Xuebing.
Even Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fei, Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Wu Liang, and other District Leaders’ eyes were red. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to do this.
This is Dong Xuebing’s determination.
Everyone knows Dong Xuebing is risking his life to save others.
After catching two people, Dong Xuebing is at his limit. He knows both his arms have multiple fractures, and he couldn’t even move his fingers. His neck and back are badly injured too. The impact from falling from the sixth floor is too significant.
Dong Xuebing mumbled under his breath. “REVERSE, one second.”
He finally used his power.
Dong Xuebing felt his body lighter, and all his injuries recovered instantly. His body had returned to yesterday’s condition.
Although Dong Xuebing’s physical injuries had recovered, his mental damage cannot be erased. He is still sweating profusely, and he feels the pain in his mind.
The third person jumped.
Dong Xuebing caught him, and his arms broke again. His blood had stained the cushion.
Dong Xuebing knows this person. It is a Deputy Director working in the District Government Office. That man saw Dong Xuebing kneeling on the cushion with his hands trembling and quickly helped him up.
“Director Dong! Are you ok?”
Dong Xuebing forced a smile. “I am doing great! Just go!” He said and looked towards the roof. He shouted weakly. “Continue to jump!”
The fourth person jumped.
The fifth person….
The sixth person….
The seventh person….
Only Geng Yuehua remained on the roof. She had let the rest escape first.
Dong Xuebing looks at Geng Yuehua and smiles. “Hurry up and jump.” He felt his mind was at his limit and could not hold on any longer.
“Ok.” Geng Yuehua took a deep breath and stepped off the building.
Swoosh! Geng Yuehua’s body is ten meters from the ground within a split second.
At this moment, another explosion happened. Boom! Flames engulfed the whole building, and another tremor happened. The earth shook, and half of the building collapsed.
Damn!
Dong Xuebing lost his balance because of the tremors.
“Ah!!!”
“Shit!”
Everyone is stunned.
But Dong Xuebing will not let Geng Yuehua get hurt, and he used STOP again.
Everyone can only see Dong Xuebing diving towards Geng Yuehua’s body and catching her in his arms before falling onto the cushions.
Bam!
Dong Xuebing immediately loses consciousness when he lands on the cushion.
Wang Anshi shouted. “Hurry! Go and help them!”
More than a dozen staff rushed over.
“Director Dong!”
“Mayor Geng!”
These people were saved miraculously.
Dong Xuebing’s crazy actions moved everyone. They only think of him as a troublemaker who offends everyone in the past. He doesn’t have any political wisdom, but now everyone’s perception of him has changed. They can only remember him risking his life to catch everyone falling from the building.
This is Dong Xuebing’s determination. He is crazy, but everyone respects him.
