At this moment, just as the firefighters were on their way, comrades from the police station arrived at the window and, in an act of courage, managed to forcibly enter. Witnessing this, Yu ze loosened one hand, grabbing the waistline of the outer wall with just one hand, and then using his legs to lift the woman, allowing his right hand to grab her arm.
"My, his core strength is truly extraordinary," someone exclaimed, watching anxiously alongside Cheng and Milly.
Just then, a well-built man with strong chest muscles, pressed his lips together, gazing solemnly at the situation on the sixth floor.
With just one hand, Yu ze lifted the woman and brought her to the window, where the comrades from the police station quickly pulled her inside.
"Brother, come up quick!" they urged, pulling the rescued woman up and then urging Yu ze to come up too.
"No need, I will return the same way," Yu ze replied.
"What do you mean, return the same way... Hey, don't be reckless," the comrades from the police station said, watching in surprise as Yu ze leaped to the corner of the wall and then, like a monkey, agilely descended down the gas pipe.
Faster even than when he had ascended, it gave people the feeling of, how could he come down like that? Shouldn't there have been some cushioning? Everyone's breath hadn't been let out yet!
The crowd of onlookers numbered well over a hundred, and probably even three or four hundred, with people holding up their phones to capture the scene, now aiming at the valiant Yu ze who had just performed the act of bravery.
But in reality, suicide is common, and there is no shortage of acts of bravery.
However, saving a life by swiftly climbing the building and then immediately descending again, most people seemed to have only seen such actions in one place - in movies.
"Brother Yu, you're amazing," Cheng rushed over, full of excited admiration, seeming even more emotional than the protagonist himself.
"Are you okay? Are you okay?" Milly asked, concerned about whether Yu ze had sustained any injuries.
"I'm fine," Yu ze waved off the concern, taking back his T-shirt from Cheng and, unfazed by the multitude of cameras, he nodded graciously towards them.
Amidst the chatter and inquiries, with everyone asking for Yuze's name, he remained quiet. That's when Lao Chen squeezed in, throwing an arm around Yuze's shoulder and laughed heartily as he addressed the neighbors, "This is my friend, he often comes to my place for barbecues. Don't be fooled by this act of valor, it's not his first time. He had a similar act of bravery at another time…"
Lao Chen grandly recounted the previous encounter, provoking an outburst of amazement from the crowd.
"Hero, hero, say something," they insisted, surrounded by so many people; he couldn't simply walk away without saying anything, and where would he go? He hadn't finished his barbecue yet.
Yuze had no choice but to say a few words, "Let me speak briefly, it's nothing extraordinary for me. When I see someone in need, it's my instinct to save them. I'm not a hero, just an ordinary passerby. I believe that each person, in such a situation, would surely act to help if capable. Fundamentally, everyone is a hero!"
Yuze spoke confidently, unflustered. The videos shot here would likely spread across the entire Donghai city within just one evening.
At this moment, several comrades from the police station brought the woman who had tried to jump off the building down, and led her into a police car. One of them came over and patted Yuze on the shoulder, "Brave guy, but your method of saving her was too risky. You can't do this in the future. Are you hurt?"
"As you say…"
Yuze noticed the growing crowd around him and furrowed his brow, "My chest does feel a bit uncomfortable. Could it be scratched?"
As soon as he said this, those around him were alarmed. Someone quickly called out, "I have a car, let's quickly take him to the hospital."
"Come, hero, sit in my car…"
"I have an electric bike, it's faster."
Suddenly, there was an overwhelming outpouring of goodwill, as if at this moment, the usually exclusive locals of Donghai were no longer exclusive. Everyone wanted to help this brave hero, and Cheng was moved to tears.
"Everyone, don't rush, let me take a look first."
Suddenly, Yuze took off his shirt and did a quick check, "Can someone help me check for injuries?"
Just as night was approaching, the setting sun's rays inconveniently streamed through the gaps in the residential buildings of the old neighborhood. It landed squarely on Yuze's upper body, the perfect musculature resembling a finely carved marble sculpture, exuding strength and beauty that defied description in any human language, a reflection of flawless physical and aesthetic perfection.
"Brother Yu, you're not hurt..."
Mi Li swallowed hard, not realizing her subconscious action.
"It's good that you're not hurt."
The police comrades were all stunned, and even they unconsciously made a gesture, patting their own beer bellies. They pondered the sorrow of middle-aged men and vowed to strengthen their physical exercise starting today. No more heading for drinks and late-night snacks after work—yes, starting tomorrow, they must improve their physical fitness!
Yuze put his shirt back on, and even the old man's eyes were envious. It was as if he too had a strong and robust physique in his youth. He couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is truly a wonderful thing."
"All right, everyone, disperse... disperse," Yuze said. "I still need to have dinner."
"Hero, let me treat you. Can we get acquainted?"
In this era, admirers were never in short supply. People greatly admired acts of bravery, and when it came to treating someone to a meal, there were always plenty of volunteers.
Just like a few months ago, when someone was injured while acting heroically and hundreds of people donated money.
Yuze returned to his seat, but this time, there were so many people crowding into Lao Chen's small shop that he had no choice but to push a few tables together. Many neighbors and middle-aged men flocked in, wanting to have a drink with Yuze.
Yuze welcomed them all, drinking without reservation. After all, nobody could make him drunk or ask for money.
Even now, there were still people outside the shop, holding up their phones and recording. One couldn't deny that the innate human instinct for watching a spectacle was deeply engraved in our genes. Other things could be put on hold, but watching a spectacle was a must. Otherwise, you'd regret it in your dreams later that night.
While eating and drinking, many people approached Yuze to toast him, passing cups and vessels around, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Hello, hello! May I ask where the hero who acted bravely earlier is? I'm a reporter from 'Discover Donghai'..."
Suddenly, a female voice shouted loudly from outside the shop.
Nowadays, anyone seemed to dare call themselves a reporter. 'Discover Donghai' was just a local media outlet and not an official news organization. However, one couldn't deny that self-media outlets had a keen sense for news, often faster than traditional journalists. Moreover, many had heard of this particular self-media outlet—it was a popular public account with a strong following in Donghai, with each article receiving over a hundred thousand views.
