Chapter 265 (First Update) The Depth of Life

News of the incident of revenge against society occurring at the entrance of the primary school spread quickly.

At that moment, Tang Mingli was buying soy sauce at the convenience store at the entrance of the residential area. When she heard the news, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole being turning ice-cold.

The soy sauce bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the dark soy sauce instantly seeped into the ground.

The convenience store owner exclaimed, "How can you not even hold a bottle of soy sauce properly?"

But Tang Mingli couldn't hear what the shop owner was saying at all; all she could hear were the words of the person who had just run past the convenience store.

"A bloody incident was discovered at the entrance of the primary school."

There is only one primary school in this area.

This is the time when school lets out.

Coming to her senses, Tang Mingli ran frantically toward her daughter's school.

Having lived a life of luxury for over a decade, Tang Mingli had hardly ever exercised. Normally, she would have to stop and rest after running only a few meters.

But today, the fear in her heart made Tang Mingli forget everything.

Even though I was already out of breath and my heart was starting to ache, my legs kept running.

She had only one thought in her mind: she had to get to the school and find her daughter and mother-in-law.

When I finally arrived at the school, the situation seemed to be under control.

She saw the police car, which calmed her down.

Amid the noise and commotion, she heard someone nearby say that the person who had harmed the students had been subdued by the police.

Tang Mingli felt much relieved.

However, the next sentence was heard from someone next to him saying that someone might get hurt.

My heart, which had just settled down, jumped back into my throat.

My eyes searched through the crowd, trying to find a familiar figure.

No.

No.

I didn't see any familiar faces.

Tang Mingli squeezed towards the door, and when she saw the pool of blood on the ground, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

It wasn't just because I saw blood, but also because of an instinctive unease.

The pool of blood made her extremely uneasy.

“Fu Yu’s mother.”

In a daze, Tang Mingli heard someone calling her.

Tang Mingli looked in the direction of the sound and saw the parents of her daughter's classmates.

The other person was deathly pale and trembling all over, as if they had just experienced something terrible.

“Fu Yu’s mother.”

The other party spoke again.

Tang Mingli walked towards her.

"Xiaofang's mother."

Xiao Fang's mother said tremblingly, "Fu Yu's mother, Fu Yu, her grandmother, and her cousin just got into an ambulance."

These words nearly shattered Tang Mingli's spirit.

It felt as if all my strength had been suddenly drained away, and I almost collapsed.

Fortunately, the other party quickly added, "They're fine."

Tang Mingli then felt as if she had come back to life.

"However, it seems that my cousin's grandmother is injured."

Tang Mingli was about to suffocate again; Xiao Fang's mother's words were truly deadly.

She grabbed the other person's hand and asked anxiously, "Xiaofang's mom, what does it seem to mean?"

"The scene was too chaotic, I don't know much. Anyway, there was someone covered in blood, and Fu Yu's older sister kept crying and calling for her grandma. You have no idea how scary it was..."

Through Xiaofang's mother's account, Tang Mingli roughly understood what had happened.

A middle-aged man came to the school gate with a knife and threatened to harm someone. Fortunately, the school security guards, teachers, and some parents bravely resisted, and the police station was nearby. The police arrived in time and subdued him, preventing an irreparable disaster.

"Several students and parents sustained minor injuries in the chaos. The most seriously injured was an elderly woman, whom Fu Yu kept calling 'Grandma.'"

Xiaofang's mother still trembles with fear when she recalls the image of her wife lying on the ground covered in blood.

She really didn't expect that an old woman could muster such courage to fight against a knife-wielding assailant in order to protect her child.

On the other hand, she herself, who was decades younger, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she couldn't even run.

If it weren't for the brave people who stopped the assailant, she would probably have already fallen to his knife.

Hearing this, Tang Mingli had no doubts.

The injured old lady is most likely my aunt.

Tang Mingli panicked so much that her hands and feet turned ice cold, but she had to tell herself to stay calm.

According to Xiaofang's mother, her aunt was seriously injured, but she had been taken to the hospital and would definitely be alright.

She had to get to the hospital immediately.

Yes, she needs to go to the hospital immediately.

Realizing what she was about to do, Tang Mingli hurriedly went to the police officers who were still at the scene and asked where the injured person had been taken.

After receiving the answer, she didn't dare to delay and rushed to the hospital immediately.

-

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

Fu's mother and her two children waited outside the emergency room.

The two children were crying, and the two police officers beside them kept comforting them.

No matter how the police tried to comfort them, the two children couldn't stop crying.

On the one hand, what happened at the school gate was too terrible, and on the other hand, they were worried about Li Hong, who was being rescued.

When Tang Mingli arrived, the two children rushed towards her as if they had seen a savior, crying and shouting.

Tang Mingli opened her arms and hugged the two children.

The next second, her heart ached so much it felt like it was about to break.

The two children were trembling like leaves, showing how terribly frightened they had been.

Tang Mingli wanted to comfort them, telling them everything was alright, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Hearing her child's heart-wrenching cries, she couldn't stop her tears from falling.

As for Fu's mother, after Tang Mingli appeared, the last breath she had been holding on finally burst forth. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the police officers nearby who helped her sit down, she probably would have collapsed to the ground.

Tang Mingli knew that she was now the backbone of the group and couldn't afford to lose her composure.

Composing herself, she asked the police officer, "How is the person being treated?"

The police officer looked grave and answered very tactfully, "The doctors are still trying to save him."

But Tang Mingli had already sensed something was wrong from those words, and her heart felt like it was being crushed by a heavy object, making it hard to breathe.

She then asked her mother-in-law, "Did you call Mingmei?"

Fu's mother shook her head blankly, looking guilty: "I'm sorry, I... I'm so confused, I have no idea what to do."

"It's alright," Tang Mingli comforted her. "Mom, you've done a great job."

As she spoke, she asked the two children to sit down as well, saying, "You two stay here with Grandma, I'm going to make a phone call."

After explaining everything, she went to the nurses' station and borrowed the hospital's phone to call her cousin's clothing store.

She wanted to handle things calmly, but when she told her cousin the news, she couldn't help but cry.

My cousin on the other end of the phone was calmer than I expected, telling me not to panic and that she would be right there.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Mingli called the garment factory again.

Fortunately, Fu Ci happened to be here at that moment.

Upon hearing her husband's voice, Tang Mingli broke down again and tearfully told him what had happened at the elementary school gate.

"Where's the child? Is the child alright?"

After asking that question, Fu Ci didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of hearing news that would make him wish he were dead.

Tang Mingli told him, "The two children weren't injured, they were just frightened."

"Don't panic, I'm coming right away."

Fu Ci, who was on the other end of the phone, was actually in a meeting with several managers in his office. Upon hearing the call, he didn't care that the meeting was only halfway through and hurriedly left the office without even leaving a word.

At that moment, he truly wished he had wings so he could fly to the hospital immediately.

After finishing the call with her husband, Tang Mingli held the receiver and kept crying.

While feeling sad, I was also thinking about what else I had forgotten to do.

The nurses, who had worked in the hospital for a long time, were used to this kind of scene and calmly handed Tang Mingli two tissues.

"Don't cry, you need to be strong, especially in times like these."

Tang Mingli gratefully said thank you and took the tissue to wipe her tears.

She finally remembered what she had forgotten and dialed another number.

I almost forgot to tell my uncle.

But she didn't dare to call her uncle's house directly to tell him the bad news, fearing that he was too old to handle the blow. So she had to call home instead and ask her father-in-law to go to the Tang family to tell her uncle in person.

When Fu Cheng'an heard that such a heinous incident had occurred at the school gate, he felt a chill run down his spine.

I can't even imagine what would happen if my child were to suffer harm; I'm afraid life would lose its meaning.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the Tang family to find your uncle right away. Don't worry about him, I'll keep an eye on him. But you have to hold on at the hospital."

Tang Mingli nodded, "I'll hold on."

We must hold out until Fu Ci and my cousin arrive.

After making the call, Tang Mingli didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed back to the emergency room.

The lights in the emergency room were still on, which was good news for Tang Mingli.

The light is still on, which means the person is still being treated.

The fact that the person is still being treated means there is still hope for survival.

She prayed in her heart that God would grant her aunt a miracle so that she could get through this ordeal.

Perhaps it's because so many people pray to God every day that He can't hear everyone's wishes.

For example, this time, Tang Mingli's prayers were in vain.

Over the years, as life has improved, she has noticed that her aunt has changed; she has become a better person overall.

But she never imagined that her aunt would become a hero.

A hero who bravely fought against criminals to protect students.

How could someone who was once so selfish and petty change so much and become so great?

Doesn't this go against common sense?

But this defied common sense, and that's exactly what happened to my aunt.

My aunt, a person who could be found to have a whole host of flaws, was so radiant and noble in the last moments of her life.

The government awarded her the honorary title of "Heroic Act," and the school held a memorial service for her.

At the memorial service, many students' parents came to bid her farewell.

Watching the people coming and going to say goodbye, Tang Mingli didn't understand the meaning of it all.

Perhaps there is, no, there definitely is.

At least all the teachers, students, and parents in the school know that there is a grandmother named Li Hong who is willing to risk her life to protect the students.

This is perhaps what people often refer to as the depth of life.

She has left this world, but she lives on in the hearts of many more.

Do you think that if you knew in advance that someone would become this good after they turned out to be good, you would rather they lived selfishly and lived a long and healthy life?

The depth of life is truly a painful topic.

But ironically, this profound sorrow is reserved for the living.

Tang Mingli felt as if a hole had been dug in her heart, and the biting cold wind was howling into it, making her wish she could just rip her heart and liver out.

However, her cousin and uncle were stronger than she had imagined.

Whether in the hospital or at the memorial service, they all showed great strength.

But Tang Mingli also knew that when others couldn't see it, their sorrow was only a thousand times greater than hers.

How can one not feel grief at the passing of a loved one?

They simply had to be strong.
