"Ahhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh!"
Terror filled the air with shrill screams.
Time rewound to just before Liu Yaoyao had attempted to jump from the building.
The crowd below was engaged in a chorus, cheering the young girl on.
Naturally, nobody on the ground could hear the events unfolding above.
However, as the crowd sang, they were also deeply concerned about what was happening above, so they would occasionally look up, some even holding up their cell phones, aiming them toward Liu Yaoyao’s location.
Until one of them suddenly spotted something amiss.
"There on the third floor, why is there a person there?"
As soon as he spoke, the others around him hurriedly looked in the direction he pointed.
What they didn’t know until they looked was enough to give them a shock.
It was not just one person but two!
These two had somehow managed to climb up when nobody was looking, and as the crowd noticed them, they had just scaled from the second floor to the third.
This was an old residential building with low rent, which meant that people living here were not exactly wealthy.
It was a five-story building with only two air conditioner external units.
The two people climbing upward, a man and a woman, seemed to be martial artists, coordinating with each other and progressing in strides with perfect synergy.
To outsiders, what seemed impossible barriers to climb over were effortlessly scaled by the pair in the blink of an eye.
Not only were the crowd stunned, but even the police officers on duty below were taken aback!
When had these two climbed up?
How had they not noticed?
"You two, come down! Come down!" an officer shouted frantically, his face filled with terror as he watched their figures.
God forbid the person above hadn’t fallen yet, and these two would instead fall first!
But within a few seconds, they started to question their assumptions.
These two were like monkeys from the mountain that had acquired magical powers!
Their agility was astounding.
Some spots they stepped on were ones even the officers doubted they could securely tackle, yet these two didn’t even seem to think before leaping across!
The chorus had unknowingly ceased, with everyone watching the climbers in horror.
Even though the pair hadn’t announced their motive for climbing, it was clear to everyone that they were definitely attempting a rescue.
Watching them climb evoked an involuntary thrill and tension among the onlookers.
All present held their breath for Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou.
"Ridiculous! Simply ridiculous!" one of the officers exclaimed angrily.
No matter how nimble Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou might be, in his eyes, it was extremely dangerous behavior.
The two had no safety measures whatsoever. If one of them slipped and fell, it would be a matter of life and death!
But these two were clearly not backing down until they hit a wall.
They didn’t listen to him at all.
There wasn’t the slightest sign of them coming down.
"Old Chen, these aren’t our colleagues, are they?" another officer hesitated to ask.
The agility with which these two moved was too impressive, their movements flowed seamlessly; whether it was explosive power, stamina, or core strength, all were exceptionally strong.
Seldom would ordinary people possess such great physical prowess.
"No!" Chen Ming was livid.
If they were colleagues, how could they climb without any safety measures?
And doing so secretly, at that!
Chen Ming turned his head, looking left and right, intending to have two people go up and bring them down.
Luckily, the pair’s location was directly above the safety air cushion.
They didn’t need to spread a new one, at least for now.
As he was looking for helpers, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou had already climbed up, clinging tight to the wall like two large geckos.
"Wow! They’re so close to that little girl!"
"Yeah, yeah! If they adjust the angle right, they could push her back inside from outside!"
No sooner had the crowd’s voices died down than Liu Yaoyao, sitting on the roof’s edge, suddenly leaned backward as if about to free fall.
Liu Yaoyao, staring death in the face, didn’t scream; nor did Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou nearby. Instead, it was the crowd below that let out a collective cry of alarm.
Terror filled the air with shrill screams.
In fact, after Jiang Ning had climbed up, she had also been looking for the right angle to push Liu Yaoyao back in when the girl wasn’t paying attention.
But Liu Yaoyao suddenly let go.
And Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were still slightly below her.
Jiang Ning, without time to think, instinctively reached out to grab her.
Liu Yaoyao, fifteen years old and slim, still weighed around 70 or 80 pounds.
The moment she caught hold of her, Jiang Ning felt a sharp pain in her arm. A snapping sound came from her arm.
Her entire arm had been dislocated.
