Chapter 106: Just Jump Already
"Young man, off you go! My jumping off the building has nothing to do with you; it's none of your business, so don't get involved. Otherwise, young man, you'll have to take responsibility."
At this moment, the old man's attitude was very firm. He first waved at Zhu Bufan, then the next moment, he continued to climb over the railing.
The words of the old man warmed Zhu Bufan's heart. At this moment, this old man was still considering him, Zhu Bufan.
So, Zhu Bufan decided he had to save the old man.
He glanced at the somewhat unsteady old man, then at the bottle that had rolled away and made noise.
Zhu Bufan realized that the old man didn't truly want to die.
He must have been afraid of burdening his family and friends, which ultimately led him to choose to jump. Zhu Bufan guessed he must have been forced into a corner.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to drink a bottle of baijiu to bolster his courage before jumping.
Back at Ice Volcano, Zhu Bufan had cured an Ice Beast!
Therefore, Zhu Bufan believed that no matter what illness the old man had, he should be able to find a cure.
So, the next moment, Zhu Bufan did not hesitate to activate his Supreme Eyes.
Since he wanted to cure the old man's illness, he first needed to find out where and what the illness was!
The reason Zhu Bufan could cure the Ice Beast at Ice Volcano was precisely because of his Supreme Eyes.
So, at this moment, Zhu Bufan turned on his Supreme Eyes.
Once the Supreme Eyes were activated, Zhu Bufan's eyes immediately began scanning the old man's body like a scanner, back and forth.
Before long, Zhu Bufan found the problem!
It turned out that in the old man's throat, there was already a large area of necrotic tissue cells, and at this time, these dead cells were slowly spreading to other parts of the old man's body.
In high school, anyone who studied science would learn biology!
And in biology, they would talk about cancer cells.
And now, the series of symptoms shown by the old man's throat were signs of the spread of cancer cells.
So, seeing this, Zhu Bufan knew that the old man must have cancer!
And moreover, it was already in the late stage.
"Kid, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Perhaps it was because he had drunk a bottle of baijiu, but at this point, seeing that he hadn't climbed over the railing for a long time, the old man became a bit restless and spoke very rudely to Zhu Bufan.
Zhu Bufan didn't take offense at the old man's rudeness. He had already discovered the root of the problem, so Zhu Bufan was not in a hurry. He just watched the old man and spoke:
"Uh, old man! I have to ask, did you drink a bottle of baijiu before climbing this railing?"
"Huh?" Hearing Zhu Bufan's question, the old man was startled, but the next moment, he roared at Zhu Bufan, "Kid, it's none of your business whether I drink or not. Also, I told you, this has nothing to do with you. Hurry along, go back where you came from and stay out of the way; don't delay my jumping!"
"..." Hearing the old man's response, Zhu Bufan was somewhat speechless. What does 'delaying your jump' mean?
Does that mean I'm meddling without good cause by trying to save you?
Although Zhu Bufan was somewhat exasperated inside, he still didn't take it to heart.
So, the next moment, Zhu Bufan continued:
"Old man, you're of such an age, why resort to jumping off buildings? If you're going to jump, then why did you drink a bottle of baijiu before? Thus, I guess you didn't really have the courage to jump, so you drank the baijiu for bravery! Old man, since you don't have the courage to jump, I think it's better if you come down!"
Just as Zhu Bufan said this, coincidentally, the old man belched from the alcohol, and boy, what a stench! It was indescribable.
The old man had just belched, and combined with what Zhu Bufan had said, his face began to show embarrassment. However, it seemed the old man had his pride, so he pretended to be furious:
"Kid, by the sound of it, you're looking down on me, aren't you? Let me tell you, back in the day I carried a gun, fought in wars..."
The old man was boasting, and Zhu Bufan found it both amusing and maddening: Obviously scared to death, and yet boasting like this, this old man...
However, after a while, Zhu Bufan decided to tease the old man before saving him.
So, the next moment, Zhu Bufan spoke directly:
"Alright, old man, aren't you going to jump? What's with the reminiscing about the past? Well then, if you're going to jump, do it quickly—skip the boasting!"
After Zhu Bufan finished speaking, he almost wanted to laugh himself, but he endured.
"Kid, you... how can you urge someone to jump like that? Let me tell you, kid, if I jump right now, you will definitely take responsibility, you know?"
Upon hearing Zhu Bufan's words, the old man was instantly speechless.
"Enough talk, just jump! I'm not afraid of taking responsibility. Now, I'll just sit here and keep my eyes wide open to watch you jump!" After hearing the old man's words, Zhu Bufan's heart was truly rejoicing.
Still, Zhu Bufan didn't show it.
"Kid, you... you" Seeing that Zhu Bufan really sat down and stared at him, the old man was truly on the verge of exploding.
The next moment, he directly climbed onto the railing.
However, just then, a gust of wind blew by and his body instantly wobbled, nearly falling off.
This moment sobered him up from the alcohol.
Once he was sober, he was ready to climb back down, but at that moment, he saw Zhu Bufan staring at him with wide-open eyes.
And he was a man who cared deeply about saving face.
So, the next moment, the old man froze right where he was.
"Ha ha, how about it? Old man, go ahead and jump! I'm watching here!" At this time, Zhu Bufan couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing.
Seeing Zhu Bufan laughing, the old man's face turned extremely ugly.
