Rebirth: I Want to Be a Hot Heroine

Chapter 9 The Fall of Genius

The money is in place, and now the most important thing is to find people.

Lin Tong vaguely remembered that the house number was Building 3, Group 8, Floor 7. The house numbers in the slums were a bit blurry. After barely finding Building 3, Group 8, Lin Tong looked at the deep staircase.

Indeed, in comparison, the environment in her urban village is much better.

As soon as he stepped into the corridor, he was hit by a foul smell. Coupled with the hot and humid weather, the smell hit Lin Tong directly on the top of his head.

I finally climbed to the seventh floor, where there were three households.

It seems to be right in the middle.

Lin Tong knocked on the door, but no one answered. He knocked again and waited for a while, but still no one answered.

Aren't you at home?

This shouldn't be the case. Didn't he stay at home for two months? The day he committed suicide was August 8.2nd. Lin Tong remembered this date very clearly. In her previous life, she was admitted to the mental hospital at this time.

Current affairs news played back and forth on the big screen, too loud for her to ignore.

Today is July 7.29, very close to the day he would commit suicide, so it was perfect that she came at the right time.

Wait, a voice suddenly flashed through Lin Tong’s mind: the time of death is more than 48 hours.

and so……

Lin Tong didn't bother to think too much and kicked the wooden door open.

When I opened the door, I saw a quiet room. The room was bare and empty, with only a bed in the corner.

There was no one there, Lin Tong pushed open the bathroom door.

Sure enough, the man was already lying there, with blood flowing down his wrist and winding to the ground.

Even though I had anticipated this kind of scene, I was still shocked when I saw it in person, and even more heartbroken.

After quickly dialing 120, Lin Tong reached out and touched the tall and thin man lying on the ground.

The body was still warm and he was breathing, but it was too weak.

He tore off a corner of the man's clothes and tied up the artery above the wound on his wrist, then lifted his hand to stop the blood from flowing out.

Seeing him was like seeing myself. I had attempted suicide by cutting my wrists once before, but was rescued. It was a bit ridiculous to think about it. She had tried to die so many times but never did. She really died and was reborn.

God had mercy on her time and time again, and she gave up all the opportunities to save herself. Fortunately, she seized this last chance.

The man looked very young, having dropped out of high school. He was the same age as her.

He looks very well behaved, with very fair skin, which may be caused by not seeing the sun for a long time or malnutrition.

With his eyes tightly closed and his long eyelashes covering his lower eyelids, his fragility and fragileness were fully reflected in him.

The ambulance hadn't arrived yet, so Lin Tong called to urge them. The tone on the other end was not very good: "The slum is so far away, it's normal for it to be slow."

"It can't be that slow, right? Ningcheng Fifth Hospital is in this area. It will take at most fifteen minutes to drive an ambulance from there. So, are you responsible if someone dies, or are you going to wait for someone to die before I gather the people here to cause trouble?"

Lin Tong was so angry that she said a few words. The other party's tone became a little better: "Wait a minute, we are on the way."

When Lin Tong was about to hang up the phone, he vaguely heard a male voice coming from the other end: "He's from the slums, so if he dies, he dies."

Just as Lin Tong was about to retort, the call was hung up.

After this urging, the ambulance arrived within five minutes. Three paramedics got out of the car lazily, but when they saw that they had to bring someone down from the seventh floor, they instantly became unhappy.

I called Lin Tong and said, "You are on the seventh floor. You have to pay extra."

"If the person is gone, how about I burn the money for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person hung up the phone.

Dogs look down upon people!

Two men and a woman came up and looked at the situation in the room. Under the pressure of Lin Tong's eyes, they dared not say a word and carried the person away on a stretcher.

When they got into the car, two people performed first aid, and one man asked questions. After asking almost all the questions, he glanced at Lin Tong and said arrogantly: "We charge money for sending out the car."

Lin Tong raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at him. The man then lowered his head to take notes and stopped talking.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and the person is fine, but is still lying there unconscious.

Lin Tong went outside to buy some food. She was also hungry and needed to replenish her energy.

When I came back, the man was already sitting comfortably with his back leaning against the pillow.

Woke up pretty quickly.

Lin Tong walked over, and the man barely opened his mouth and asked in a weak voice: "You saved me?"

"Well, life is only one, and it would be meaningless to die. Besides, you are still young, you shouldn't die."

After listening to what Lin Tong said, the man raised a very faint smile: "Xu Ci'en."

Lin Tong smiled and nodded, "It's a nice name."

Xu Ci'en shook her head, "Thank you."

Although Xu Ci'en had many questions in his mind, he had no strength and was very hungry.

Lin Tong ate the cake he had just bought while chatting with Xu Ci'en.

Xu Ci'en watched Lin Tong finish the cake bite by bite. He licked his lips unconsciously, swallowed his saliva, and stared at Lin Tong.

Lin Tong finally reacted, "Let me ask the doctor for you to see if you can eat."

The doctor explained the precautions, and Lin Tong went downstairs to buy some food to bring to Xu Ci'en.

"The doctor said you need to eat more blood products. I bought some for you. I don't know if it suits your appetite."

Now Xu Ci'en just wants to have food to eat, and the most important thing is to fill his stomach.

After eating until he was 80% full, Lin Tong stopped him, "You can't eat too much now, just enough."

Xu Ci'en shut up embarrassedly. He knew that Lin Tong was concerned about him. Ever since his parents got into trouble, no one had cared about him with a smile.

When I was in the first grade of junior high school, my parents died in a car accident, and I lived under the care of my uncle.

No matter how his aunt beat and scolded his uncle, he would not say a word. His uncle was a very honest man. He would never go against his wife's words, but he was a man without his own opinion.

When he was in the first year of high school, Xu Ci'en couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the money left by his parents and ran away.

He spent most of his time in Internet cafes. Xu Ci'en has always been interested in games and codes. He taught himself programming language online and wrote a game himself.

After much difficulty in attracting an investor, he ended up being defrauded of all the tens of thousands of dollars in his pocket.

He has always been proud of himself, thinking that he can learn things quickly and can develop his own world with his own strength. However, the reality was not satisfactory, and when he ran out of money, he tried to do hard labor.

But his hands were not meant to be used for hard labor, and he gave up after working for two days.

After that, he begged many game developers, but no one was willing to invest in him.

All of Xu Ci'en's pride and self-confidence were shattered on this road.

Living in an empty, dark room in the slums was like being between steep cliffs, with a bottomless abyss in front and behind. Numbness and despair enveloped Xu Ci'en to the point where he could hardly breathe.

For the first time, he felt that his life had no value.

Death is a kind of relief, isn't it? I can be with my parents in the afterlife.

Xu Ci'en decided to end her life.

He originally wanted to disappear from the world, but Lin Tong saved him. When he fell into the abyss and couldn't extricate himself, he gave him a ray of light and faith to survive.

At least let him know that besides his parents, there are people who are willing to know his name.
