Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 342 - 341: Daddy Is Coming Home for His Birthday Today
Li Zhengyi could have survived!!
He already knew he couldn’t make it.
So... Li Zhengyi used all his strength to push Zhao Sisi.
Zhao Sisi got hold of the rope and was rescued.
And Li Zhengyi left this world forever.
Li Zhengyi was a firefighter.
He was also the father of three children, the pillar of a family.
Was this a sacrifice to save others?
The media characterized it this way.
But in Gu Chen’s view, it shouldn’t be like this!
This isn’t called sacrificing oneself!
If it was due to various natural disasters, sacrificing to protect the public, like rescuing in a fire... that could be considered a sacrifice.
But how can this drowning be considered a sacrifice?
Li Zhengyi had been a firefighter for half a year, and swimming was his weakest skill.
Today was a holiday, and Li Zhengyi could take a day off.
Today was also Li Zhengyi’s birthday!
His wife, Tang Ya, made a large table of dishes for him at home.
Tang Ya even made a cake for Li Zhengyi with her own hands....
There were candles on the cake.
Li Zhengyi’s three daughters were happily waiting for their father to come home.
They were all waiting to celebrate their father’s birthday....
The whole family was waiting for Li Zhengyi to come home....
Because Li Zhengyi hadn’t been home for a month.
Today was Li Zhengyi’s birthday, and the team gave him a day off so he could see his daughters and wife.
On his way home, Li Zhengyi encountered Zhao Sisi jumping into the river...
Li Zhengyi, was this really a sacrifice?
When passing by Zhao Sisi, he could have chosen to do nothing.
Because he wasn’t good at swimming in the first place.
Who stipulates that a firefighter must rescue someone jumping into a river?
But Li Zhengyi couldn’t bear to see Zhao Sisi drown, so he chose to rescue her!
Li Zhengyi indeed saved her temporarily; he wasn’t recklessly ignoring his own safety.
But who would have thought that after saving Zhao Sisi, she jumped into the river again!
No matter how good a swimmer Li Zhengyi could be, how could he save Zhao Sisi?
Every time he tried to save Zhao Sisi, she desperately pushed Li Zhengyi’s head underwater.
Even if you’re a swimming champion, with someone constantly pushing your head down, not letting you breathe, anyone would drown!
If it were just this, it would be fine....
But the issue was, Li Zhengyi clearly had a chance to survive!
He initially could have chosen to remain a bystander and not jump in to save her.
After the first rescue attempt, although exhausted, he could still choose not to go back in.
But he jumped in again...
He didn’t hesitate!
After jumping in the second time, some kind people threw a stick once and a rope twice, giving him three chances to escape!
But.... Zhao Sisi pushed Li Zhengyi away all three times!
Zhao Sisi grabbed the stick herself, grabbed the rope herself.
She completely ignored Li Zhengyi, even pushed and kicked him.
If in the video Zhao Sisi was also in a near-drowning state, scrambling randomly, occasionally accidentally pushing Li Zhengyi, it would be understandable.
But in the video, Zhao Sisi was extremely calm, floating on her back in the water, not panicking, in a leisurely state, looking as if she was playing in the water, not drowning at all!
Instead, it was Li Zhengyi who was struggling, obviously exhausted, about to drown.
But Zhao Sisi snatched away Li Zhengyi’s chance at life!
Zhao Sisi kicked Li Zhengyi away!! She herself held onto the stick, held onto the rope!
She was rescued...
Li Zhengyi, however, departed...
Before drowning, Li Zhengyi used his last bit of strength to push Zhao Sisi.
This was the last thing Li Zhengyi could do...
Meanwhile, Zhao Sisi pushed Li Zhengyi to a dead end!
Li Zhengyi had at least five chances to survive!
He could have happily gone home, seen his wife and daughters whom he hadn’t seen for a month, happily eaten cake, celebrated his birthday! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
But disregarding his own safety, he went into the water to save someone, only to end up drowned.
After Li Zhengyi drowned...
Zhao Sisi was rescued.
A woman on-site began to scold Zhao Sisi.
The woman began shouting: "You shameless thing, do you know you’ve caused a death? If you want to die, find a place without people! You go to a crowded place and then jump in again after being saved, why are you so despicable? Can’t you die by yourself without dragging others down? Huh? Say something!"
The woman wasn’t letting Zhao Sisi off.
Unconvinced, Zhao Sisi said: "Huh? Did I ask him to jump in and save me? I didn’t ask him to save me."
After speaking, Zhao Sisi walked away without looking back.
As for Li Zhengyi, who was in the river...
Zhao Sisi didn’t even glance back at him.
What does it have to do with her?
After being rescued, Zhao Sisi immediately posted a video on Douyin.
"Guys, I feel so wronged, I accidentally jumped into the river, but they all blame me, saying I should find a place without people if I want to die. But it’s hard for me too, I’m already struggling, is everything my fault?"
"Why doesn’t anyone care about me? I’m a victim too, I feel life is so meaningless, I’m in this state, why do they all blame me?"
"The firefighter left, and I’m heartbroken, but what does it have to do with me? I was just playing around, did I ask others to save me? They were overly sentimental and turned it back on me."
"Was it intentional on my part?"
"Isn’t there anyone who can truly care about me?"
Zhao Sisi posted the video on Douyin and wrote this in the comments section.
...
At the same time.
In Li Zhengyi’s home.
The three daughters were very excited, wearing pretty little dresses.
"When is Dad coming home?"
"Mom, we haven’t seen Dad for a month."
"I miss Dad, why can’t I see him every day?"
"Dad said he would buy me candy, he promised he would last time!"
"Dad said he’d buy me a pencil case, I’m going to school, I need a new one."
"Hehe, Dad’s going to buy me a new schoolbag, Dad loves me the most."
"No, Dad loves me the most!"
"Hmph, I miss Dad, Mom, why isn’t Dad back yet? He should be off work, I want to wait for him at the door!"
"Hehe, waiting for Dad to come home!"
"Dad is a firefighter, the greatest, greatest firefighter."
The three daughters were chatting together, their eyes full of the joy of wanting to see their Dad.
Tang Ya smiled and said, "When Dad comes home, you all say happy birthday to him, okay? Today is Dad’s birthday."
By the river.
Li Zhengyi’s body was retrieved.
And by the river were the things Li Zhengyi left behind.
A new schoolbag, a new pencil case, and lots of candy.
At the same time...
A call came to Tang Ya’s phone.
"Hello, are you Li Zhengyi’s wife? We’re from 120." Came the call from the doctor.
"Hello... I..." Tang Ya answered the call from Li Zhengyi’s number, momentarily panicking.
"Hello, please come to the hospital." The doctor didn’t know how to tell Tang Ya.
"Doctor... Doctor... what happened?"
"My husband... he’ll be okay, right?"
