"It’s not that she was mad at you for scolding her; she was mad because you beat up her handsome brother like that," Ruo Lan added.
"..." Hao Jian smiled awkwardly, "Silly girl, what’s so good about Murong Chengkong? He looks good but is useless. I barely pushed him a few times, and he ended up like that. How can such a man provide a sense of security to women? Tongtong, wouldn’t you agree?"
"So the handsome brother is called Murong Chengkong, yay, I finally know his name!" Tongtong cheered.
Hehe... Hahaha...
Hao Jian squeezed out a smile uglier than a cry. It seemed that the next time he met Murong Chengkong, he’d have to engage in a deep exchange of martial arts with him.
Just then, Hao Jian’s phone rang; it was Old Zhang calling.
"Hello, Old Zhang, what’s up?"
"Hao Jian, where are you?" On the other end, Old Zhang’s voice trembled with tears.
Hao Jian was startled, "Me? Aren’t I at home? What’s wrong?"
"Can you come over? There’s been an accident here, my daughter... she’s trying to jump off the building to kill herself!" Old Zhang’s voice shook with panic and fear.
He didn’t want to bother Hao Jian with a phone call, but now he was really out of options.
"Where are you now? I’ll come to you right now," Hao Jian said urgently.
Immediately, Old Zhang gave him an address.
Hao Jian quickly grabbed his coat and left the house, heading to Old Zhang’s residence.

By then, the area was already crowded with people.
Old Zhang lived in a rental house, since people with a salary like his couldn’t afford to buy a house.
At that moment, Hao Jian saw a woman in white standing at the railing of the top floor, her figure wavering. It was indeed Zhang Wenying.
Hao Jian furrowed his brows. He didn’t need to think to know that Zhang Wenying was devastated by being dumped by someone named Xuanye, which was why she was driven to consider suicide.
But what Hao Jian hadn’t expected was for everything to happen so quickly and for Zhang Wenying to react so drastically. After all, the impression Zhang Wenying had previously given off was that of a gold digger. Would a gold digger care about these things?
Meanwhile, both of Zhang Wenying’s parents were trying to persuade her. Their eyes were red with tears, and Zhang Wenying’s mother was worse off, collapsing on the ground, crying inconsolably.
However, Zhang Wenying looked numb, completely unmoved by their pleas, clearly unaffected by their words.
"Hey, are you going to jump or not? You’ve been standing there for half an hour; do you dare to jump or not? I still have to hurry home for dinner!" At that moment, a seemingly gentle boy shouted.
Though he looked gentle, his words were anything but gentle.
At that moment, Hao Jian couldn’t help but frown. Was this even human speech? Wishing death on someone else?
"Hey, hurry up and jump. Die early and be reborn early, don’t waste everyone’s time!" Another youth, apparently a companion of the boy, also started yelling at the same moment.
From the badges on their clothes, Hao Jian could tell these two guys were university students.
Seeing university students with such a moral decay deeply saddened Hao Jian.

Because many people now say that Huaxia is in a phase of moral decline, with most people lacking faith, their only faith being in money!
The sole criterion for men and women being together is no longer love but cars, houses, and money.
Parents want their children to succeed but overlook moral upbringing, leading to a general indifference among modern society’s youth.
This could be because we are transitioning from a traditional society to a modern one, but this transition lacks proper moral standards and values.
This reminded Hao Jian of a recent news story: a top-university student brutally killed his mother and continued to take loans in her name after her death. Having murdered his own mother without any remorse and continuing to exploit her identity for loans was utterly ruthless.
However, what you wouldn’t expect is that this student was previously highly esteemed, ranked first in his school and revered almost as a deity by his classmates, winning scholarships every year, and his mother had always said she was proud of him.
But what good was that? Teachers and parents had taught him knowledge but failed to teach him how to be a person.
What’s more ridiculous is that his mother was a teacher herself. Being both a teacher and a mother, yet she raised such a monstrous murderer. This shows that today’s society values knowledge over moral education.
Hao Jian mourned because a strong youth leads to a strong nation. But if every young person is ruthlessly crazy, what hope does the country have?
"Are you going to jump or not? If you’re scared, stop pretending, okay? Are you just trying to keep us in suspense?" the gentle-looking boy shouted.
"Shut up!"
Hao Jian finally couldn’t contain his anger any longer and burst out shouting.
The two were stunned, not expecting anyone to dare to scold them. They both turned to look at Hao Jian, and seeing he was alone, they immediately showed disdain. "What’s it to you? Get lost!"
"From now on, if you dare utter a word, I will break your legs!" Hao Jian’s gaze coldly swept over the two men.
"Hey!" The two men were instantly enraged and pushed through the crowd, walking towards Hao Jian.
"Just try and hit one of us, damn it! Where did this fool come from to meddle in other’s affairs? Did we talk about you?" The refined-looking student moved his face to within two centimeters of Hao Jian, and his expression was filled with arrogance and disdain.
Hao Jian smiled faintly, then suddenly made his move. He grabbed the man’s face and delivered a knee strike.
"Boom!"
"Cough!"
The college student instantly vomited bile and fell to the ground, motionless.
"Since your parents failed to teach you, let me do it." Hao Jian grinned fiercely and stepped on his knee. "When you see others facing misfortune, you may not sympathize, but do not gloat over their misery. Life is long and unpredictable; you never know when you might end up miserably. Put yourself in others’ shoes, show more tolerance and kindness, and the world will be a better place."
"Crack!"
Hao Jian stepped down, and the student’s kneecap shattered instantly.
He grimaced in pain, his face twisted, and his screams lasted a long time.
Then, Hao Jian moved his foot onto the knee of the other leg and continued sneering, "Furthermore, what makes us human, and different from animals, is our sense of morality and civilization. Thus, humans must not slaughter each other; otherwise, what difference is there from a wild beast?"
"Crack!"
The other leg also broke.
"Ow!"
The miserable scream echoed throughout the venue, shocking all the onlookers.
The college student had passed out from the pain.
But in Hao Jian’s eyes, there was not a trace of pity as he said, "Sorry, even though you have a long life ahead of you, I don’t want to waste time letting you slowly learn what humanity is. But now, you have a lifetime to ’sit’ down and ponder this issue!"
Immediately, Hao Jian looked up at another man who was already scared silly, "What about you? Do you also need a lesson on morals and ethics?"
"No, no!" The man quickly shook his head, his face pale with fright.
"Then why haven’t you scrammed already?" Hao Jian said with a cold laugh.
"I’m leaving! I’m going right now!" The man, who was terrified by Hao Jian’s fierceness, quickly turned and ran away.
Afterward, Hao Jian snorted and walked towards the building.
The firefighters were also placing safety air cushions, but they were unable to position it ideally because a sports car was illegally parked at the roadside.
The sports car arrogantly blocked the entrance to the apartment, making it inconvenient for people to come and go. This illegal parking also prevented proper placement of the safety air cushion, potentially resulting in a tragedy if Zhang Wenying were to jump at that moment.
"Why not use a crane to move this car?" Hao Jian asked the firefighters.
The firefighters, also frustrated, replied, "Do you think I don’t want to? Where can I find a tow truck in such short notice? The girl could jump any moment. I don’t know who the irresponsible idiot is who parked here, causing inconvenience and now hindering our rescue efforts!"
Thereupon, Hao Jian frowned and walked towards his own car.
Everyone watched him with a mix of respect and awe, wondering what Hao Jian was planning to do next.
Hao Jian got into the car, started it, and then, amid the gasps of the bystanders, he suddenly revved up and charged at the sports car.
"Bang!"
A loud noise followed as the sports car was knocked a distance away and the front of the car was badly dented.
Everyone was stunned, no one had expected Hao Jian to go to such lengths to save the girl.
That was a sports car after all, worth at least several million. Hao Jian had caused damage that would cost at least 500 thousand to repair.
The firefighter who had been talking with Hao Jian was completely dumbfounded. Despite their urgent wish to resolve the situation, none had the boldness of Hao Jian to completely wreck someone’s car like that.
However, Hao Jian remained undeterred, continued to reverse, and then charged again!
"Bang!"
Another hit, and the sports car was completely moved out of the way, thus clearing a large space. But correspondingly, the sports car was now totally unrecognizable; at this point, it looked less like a sports car and more like a pile of scrap metal.
The sports car let out a series of piercing screeches, voicing its misery.
