Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System
Chapter 437 399: Overestimated His Own Strength (Part 2)
Because that little boy had actually fallen!
That's right! He had fallen!
Just as Lin Yi leaned half his body out the window, looking upwards trying to think of a solution.
A scream erupted from the opposite building. Accompanying that scream, the boy who was originally lying there suddenly plummeted downward.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "This is not good!"
Dropping from such a height, the consequences were unimaginable.
And at this critical moment, Lin Yi instinctively reached out to grab the falling boy.
It was quite a coincidence; because there was no wind at that time, the boy's falling trajectory was very smooth.
It could be said he was falling in a straight line downward.
Following this trajectory, he would slide right in front of Lin Yi.
Because of this, Lin Yi swiftly reached out his hand and just happened to grab the boy by the collar.
However, because Lin Yi had leaned more than half his body out the window and reached to grab the boy, the inertia from six stories up pulled him straight out of the window.
The incident happened so quickly; the young man who had just scolded Lin Yi barely reached him when Lin Yi's feet had already left the window.
When he realized Lin Yi had fallen while trying to save someone, his first reaction was to reach out to try and save him!
But Lin Yi and the boy had already fallen, and the young man grabbed nothing but air!
This left him filled with remorse and he immediately took out his phone to call the police, reporting that someone had fallen.
In that split second, Lin Yi's mind went blank. Holding onto the boy with one hand, he instinctively reached out with his other hand.
Quite coincidentally, during the rapid fall, Lin Yi randomly grabbed hold of a protruding object, bringing both his and the boy's descent to a halt.
Seeing everything clearly in front of him left Lin Yi speechless.
His left hand was firmly gripping the boy's collar, while his right hand was holding onto the "building" character.
Indeed, when the boy fell onto the "west" character, Lin Yi grabbed him, but the big inertia pulled them both downwards. Amidst the panic, Lin Yi grabbed the wall's character.
In an instant, the situation changed from the boy hanging outside to Lin Yi hanging with him.
This was something Lin Yi never expected.
At that moment, it was purely instinctive, his body reflexively grabbed the falling boy.
As a result, he overestimated his own physical ability.
Even knowing his physical limitations, even knowing the potential to fall, he would still unhesitatingly choose to catch that boy.
After all, Lin Yi had a kind heart.
When he looked down, everything seemed blurry.
Oh boy, the spot where he hung was still 20 stories above the ground!
Falling from such height wouldn't end well either way.
Yet, Lin Yi wasn't overly scared.
If worse came to worst, he could always pull out the Iron Man armor from the System Space using his mind.
With that, saving someone and jumping from this height wouldn't harm him at all.
But unless there was no other alternative, Lin Yi absolutely would not use the armor.
After all, using it would expose many of his secrets.
Even previously at sea when attacking that carrier battle group, many people were let go.
Someone might have seen him. Facing that situation would definitely bring troubles.
Of course, if Lin Yi's life were truly under threat, as a last resort, he wouldn't risk his life.
After all, staying alive was the most important thing.
While Lin Yi was pondering quickly, the crowd below and the crowd in the opposite building had already gasped in shock.
Those who had closed their eyes and dared not look waited for a long time without hearing anything.
Curiosity got the better of them, and as they opened their eyes, they gasped.
They clamped their hands over their mouths.
What was going on? Why was there an extra person? And that person's situation seemed dire.
"Oh my God, what did I just see? That person actually tried to catch the child with bare hands!"
"Oh no, please don't let anything happen, please, young man hang on. You must hang on!"
"Good people always come through safely! Young man, you have to hold on!"
Lin Yi's actions had moved countless onlookers to tears below.
Even online, live streams began spreading the story.
The video of Lin Yi falling while saving the child quickly went viral, bringing tears to many netizens' eyes.
Such selflessness is most admirable.
But soon, some keen-eyed netizens noticed something off.
"Hey? Look closely! Doesn't that young man look familiar?"
"Yeah, yeah, he looks familiar, but I just can't place him."
"Damn, I figured it out, it's School Trash Lin!!!"
"Oh my! It really is School Trash Lin! This person is School Trash Lin!!"
As Lin Yi's identity was confirmed, the online buzz grew louder.
While worrying about Lin Yi and the boy, they also exclaimed.
School Trash Lin, now a mega-rich tycoon.
Such a person would risk his own life for a boy's.
This made people appreciative, saying no wonder he was wealthy, his responsibility justified the fortune!
Meanwhile, nearly three minutes had passed.
Security personnel, would-be rescuers, and hospital staff had rushed into the building.
But the elevators required specific cards, meaning not everyone could go up.
Luckily, the security quickly contacted a doctor inside and explained the situation, and the doctor led them upstairs immediately.
In another half-minute, a window closest under the "building" character was suddenly opened.
Heads popped out, starting to shout at the scene above.
"Young man, are you okay? Hold on a bit longer. The firefighters are coming."
"Yes, young man, how are you now? Can you hold on? Don't worry, don't panic, we'll save you."
Hearing the noise below, Lin Yi bitterly smiled, knowing he was still four or five floors above them, meaning they couldn't reach him.
At that moment, piercing pain shot through his right hand. Straining to look, he saw a spike had pierced his hand!
Blood trickled down his palm, his arm, drenching his shirt.
Even though his shirt absorbed some blood, the wound was too large.
Finally, blood dripped down, collecting at the shirt's hem before falling.
Drip, drip,
The man shouting below suddenly felt a drop on his face.
When he touched it, he shouted in horror:
