Chapter 495: The Young Woman Who Fell into the Water
Chapter 495: The Young Woman Who Fell into the Water
He rode the electric bike away from Alice Apartment, just aimlessly pedaling, looking at the scenery and breathing in the fresh air as he went.After dealing with Robert last time, he hadn't had much free time.
Because without him suppressing them, the alternate personalities in the inner landscape world were all gearing up to start fighting for control, itching to make their move.
There was no choice last time; he could only continue splitting, letting the kind memories control the body while the evil memories did the suppressing.
But this time was different.
Because of the 50 million deal, the promise of freedom for them.
So, this time when he came out, they had become obedient, also not wanting to stir up any trouble.
To have a falling out with him.
"This world is actually quite beautiful... too bad, I don't like it."
When Jiang Ran said the first half, there was a smile on his lips, and the second half still had a smile on his lips.
But these two smiles were completely different kinds of smiles.
Right now, he didn't even know where he had ridden to.
It was just a cement road under a large bridge.
To his left was a wide, broad river.
Looking ahead, about a hundred meters from him, a lot of people were gathered by the riverbank, doing who knows what.
He quickly rode over.
Parked the electric bike, went down the slope, and arrived at the riverbank.
About a dozen people, men and women, young and old, were gathered there, pointing at the somewhat turbulent river ahead, gesturing and discussing.
Jiang Ran looked forward.
Turns out a girl had fallen into the river.
Her desire to survive was extremely strong.
Unfortunately, none of the people on the shore were willing to save her.
Licking his lips, Jiang Ran also joined this group of indifferent people.
Indifferently watching a vibrant life fading away in the river water.
Humans, such incredibly fragile life forms.
It takes over a decade, even two decades to grow up, yet a single accident can end it all in a few seconds.
If it were the kind-memory main personality, Jiang Ran, here.
He would undoubtedly go to save her without hesitation.
But, the one here now is the complete version main personality.
He and the words "good person" are completely incompatible.
Therefore, he would definitely not go save someone.
Even though, in this river, saving that girl would be effortless for him, he still wouldn't do it.
Instead, he watched with an amused, almost playful look in his eyes.
He watched for a while, felt the girl was surely done for, and was about to turn and leave.
At that moment, a young man appeared from somewhere.
Seeing the situation here, without a word, he immediately and without hesitation took off his clothes, placed his phone and other items on the bank.
And jumped into the river to save that girl.
Because the girl had been struggling in the water for who knows how long, had no strength left, the young man successfully rescued her.
When saving a drowning person, you must wait for them to struggle in the water for a while, to exhaust their energy.
Otherwise, there's a high chance they can drag their rescuer down with them.
After pulling her up.
The young man performed chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the young woman.
Under the continuous compressions, white water kept gushing out of the girl's mouth.
Soon, the young woman regained consciousness.
A pair of eyes, vacant and lifeless, stared at the azure blue sky.
Seeing the young woman was okay, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
Wiping the water off himself with his hand, he started putting his clothes back on.
As he was getting dressed, he noticed something was wrong and shouted loudly: "Damn! Where's my phone!"
The young man searched for a long time, only to find the phone he had placed with his clothes was gone!
At that moment, an old woman came over and said: "Young man, your phone was probably taken by an old man, I saw him sneaking around."
Hearing this, the young man became frantic.
He was here saving a life, and someone directly looted his base camp?
Do they have any shame?
The young man asked the old woman which direction the old man went.
The old woman suddenly seemed like a machine that had crashed, standing frozen in place, dazed.
"Mom, how did you run off here?"
At that moment, a middle-aged woman appeared from somewhere, supporting the old woman from before.
She spoke with clear annoyance: "Don't run off like this next time, your son and I had to search everywhere for you!"
The old woman suddenly went crazy, shouting loudly: "I was looking for my grandson!"
She grabbed the young man who had done the rescuing, revealing a mouth with only a few teeth left: "Big grandson! Let's go!"
The middle-aged woman was very distressed: "Mom, you only have a granddaughter, where did a big grandson come from?"
"It's all your fault! Can't give birth to a grandson! It's all your fault!"
The old woman went crazy again, frantically broke free from the middle-aged woman, and ran off into the distance.
At this point, the rescuing young man was utterly despondent.
Seems like what the old woman said earlier couldn't be trusted either; turns out she had mental issues.
"Hey, handsome, how much was that phone of yours?"
A middle-aged man in the crowd asked.
The young man said: "Over two thousand, it's a brand new Rice phone I just bought!"
The young man was on the verge of tears.
The middle-aged man said: "These days, once a phone is lost, it's basically impossible to get back, unless you run into a kind-hearted person, but your phone was stolen, so that possibility is directly ruled out."
"So, I suggest, have this girl you saved buy you a new one!"
"After all, you saved her! Surely her life is worth more than a phone, right?"
The rescued young woman, at this time, with everyone's support, was half-sitting on the ground.
When she heard what the middle-aged man said.
Her very weak body suddenly became as energetic as if nothing was wrong, and she said angrily: "Hey, you, a grown man, stop giving such terrible advice, okay?"
"I admit he saved me, but, I didn't steal his phone! Why should I buy him a new one?"
The middle-aged man said: "He only had his phone stolen because he saved you, so you should, after all, if not for him, you'd be dead right now."
The young woman started cursing loudly: "Are you kidding me?!"
"Did I ask him to save me?!"
"He did it of his own free will, okay?!"
Hearing this.
The rescuing young man slumped down onto the ground.
His face was extremely pale, even paler than when he was pulled out of the water, soaked.
Was he the only one who ended up getting hurt?
Jiang Ran, who witnessed the whole thing.
Wore a faint, ambiguous smile.
There are several difficult problems in society nowadays.
Like, if you encounter someone drowning, whether to save them or not.
Saving the person is fine, but you fear saving them might cost you your own life; such things happen often.
Then, whether to help up an elderly person who has fallen.
No one dares to help them up, because if you do, you might get extorted,
The elderly person extorts you, their children extort you.
Especially in situations without surveillance cameras or witnesses.
The person who helped still has to struggle to prove their innocence.
While the false accuser, the extortionist, if finally exposed, only needs to say a simple sorry.
A classic inequality.
Then there's the issue of gender opposition, getting more and more serious.
A series of problems have led to people nowadays becoming increasingly indifferent.
What does Jiang Ran think about all this? He doesn't really think much about it.
Because forget about saving people, if he doesn't harm others, people should be burning incense in gratitude to him.
Returning to his electric bike, Jiang Ran continued riding around aimlessly.
Only after receiving a phone call did he return to Alice Apartment.
