Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

Chapter 14: Suicide? If you say so, then so be it. [Please collect and read]

There was no one in the grove by the river, the lights were dim, and there were gusts of cool breeze blowing from the river.

At this moment, a woman's faint crying sound suddenly came, and Li Zhixuan couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Originally he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but now he has traveled through time, and it's his soul!
The facts were before him, and he had no choice but to believe it.

But then again, it's not even nine o'clock yet, not even midnight yet, so it's not time for the haunting, right? So...

Immediately afterwards, a word appeared in Li Zhixuan's mind - [suicide]!
South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. With a population of just over 50 million, nearly 50 people commit suicide every day. Of these 50, at least one commits suicide by jumping into the Han River. With approximately 300 deaths annually, the country has practically become a "suicide mecca."

The reasons that led these people to commit suicide are probably academic pressure, financial pressure, poor working environment, bullying, etc.

Moreover, since 2011, suicide has been the leading cause of death among South Korean teenagers aged 9-24 for many consecutive years.

Therefore, Li Zhixuan now suspected that there might be a girl who had lost hope in life and ran to this deserted grove, crying and preparing to jump into the river to commit suicide.

Li Zhixuan is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, but human life is at stake, so he can't just ignore it.

So, he walked cautiously into the woods. In the dim light of the street lamp, he saw a girl squatting by the river and sobbing.

Although he couldn't see what the girl looked like, he was sure that she was a person and definitely not a ghost because the girl had a shadow.

Because he was afraid of scaring the other person, Li Zhixuan didn't dare to go too close. He stopped when he was about four or five meters away from the girl.

After stopping, Li Zhixuan wanted to ask the girl what was going on. If the girl didn't want to commit suicide, he would leave.

But unexpectedly, before he could say anything, the girl suddenly turned around and looked at him, then stood up and dived into the Han River with a splash!

"Fuck! You really want to commit suicide?!"

Li Zhixuan was startled and hurried over to jump into the river and pull up the girl who was struggling in the water.

Well, it was awesome. Because the water at the riverside wasn't very deep, only about thirty centimeters, you wouldn't drown even if you squatted, let alone stood up.

Only someone like the girl, who lies in it with the determination to die, will drown.

Of course, the so-called "determination to die" is what Li Zhixuan thought, but what is the reality?

Just now, Concubine Quan En was frightened, so she wanted to get up and run quickly, but her legs were a little weak due to fear. After she stood up suddenly, she slipped on the small stones under her feet, causing her to lose her balance, and then she stumbled and fell directly into the river!

"Cough cough! Cough cough!"

Concubine Quan Eun-fei was both embarrassed and annoyed, and she really wanted to curse, but she was almost drowned and was choked by the water, so she couldn't say a word and could only cough.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan quickly carried her ashore, then let her lie on her stomach in his arms. While patting her back, he comforted her, "Why are you so depressed? What happened? Do you have to die? There is still hope when you are alive, but when you die, there is nothing left."

"Ah? Cough cough cough!"

Concubine Quan Eun was confused. From what she said, it seemed like I was committing suicide just now?

Who are you?! You scared me, so I accidentally fell into the river, okay?!

Concubine Quan Eun-fei couldn't stand this grievance. Even though she was still coughing, she struggled to get up and prepare to talk to this "good man"!
But when she struggled, Li Zhixuan thought she still wanted to die, so he quickly hugged her tightly: "Don't move, don't move! Tell me what's wronged you, don't die first, okay?"

Who's going to die?! Quan Enfei was about to explode with rage, but the "good guy's" arms were like iron clamps, and she couldn't break free, so she could only look up at the "good guy" angrily. "You!" With just these one word, Quan Enfei was stunned.

With the help of the dim street light, she could roughly see the appearance of the "good guy".

Batman! Wasn't he with the Joker? It ended so quickly?

So, he doesn't play by the rules because he can't, right? Uh...

"Why don't you let me die? Wuwuwu~"
I was instantly hooked! Who cares if he's capable or not? First, let's figure out how to make friends! Since he thought I was going to commit suicide, I'll just go along with his thoughts.

It must be said that Quan Enfei's acting skills were quite good at this critical moment. Of course, this was also related to the fact that she almost drowned just now.

Seeing her breakdown and crying with a look of despair, Li Mingxi quickly touched his trouser pocket and took out a pack of tissues to wipe her tears.

"Why do you have to die? Isn't it better to live a good life? Is there any hurdle that you can't overcome?"

I don't know either. Let me make one for you.

But she couldn't come up with a reason at the moment, so Concubine Quan asked with sobs, "What if I can't survive?"

Li Zhixuan's heart sank: "Are you seriously ill?"

Quan Enfei was stunned: "Uh... no."

"Is that a loan shark?"

"nor."

"That's murder and arson. What kind of serious crime is that?"

"how is this possible?"

"Then what is there for you to live on? What is the reason for your death?"

Yes, what is it?

Not to mention Li Zhixuan, even Quan Enfei herself doesn’t understand. It’s really hard to find a reason for this!
"Ah!"

Suddenly a breeze blew from the river, and Concubine Quan En shivered and couldn't help sneezing.

In May, the average temperature in Seoul is 23°C during the day and only 13°C at night. Now Queen Kwon is soaked to the skin, how could she not be cold?
This sneeze saved her from the predicament.

Seeing how pitiful she looked, Li Zhixuan didn't ask her why she wanted to commit suicide. Instead, he took off his coat and put it on her, sighing softly, "Alas. No matter what the reason is, there is still hope when you're alive, but there is nothing left when you're dead. Go home quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Go home? I don't even have your contact information. Can I go home?
With a quick thought, Quan Enfei came up with an idea. She immediately stood up, returned her coat to Li Zhixuan, bowed deeply, and said with a sob, "Thank you. I won't commit suicide today. I...goodbye."

After saying that, she wiped her tears, turned around and left.

Li Zhixuan was surprised when he heard this. "I'm not going to commit suicide today? What does that mean? Today's auspicious time has passed? I'm going to try again tomorrow?"
Then I saved you for nothing, right?

"Wait a minute! I'll take you home."
