Chapter 438 Night Road (Day 19)

Liang Wei saw Wu Yongcheng as soon as he got out of the car and immediately asked, "What's the situation now?"

The two men walked quickly into the hospital building where the police were maintaining order because the sudden appearance of a large number of police officers caused panic.

Moreover, this is a hospital. It is impossible to evacuate all these people, and there is no need to do so because Fan Tianyou himself does not have the weapons and capabilities to cause large-scale destruction.

"Fan Tianyou has held a nurse hostage and is now on the rooftop. Zhou Yi is confronting him on the rooftop."

Liang Wei was shocked: "He's the only one?"

Wu Yongcheng nodded. "Fan Tianyou is very agitated and won't allow anyone else on the roof. Only Zhou Yi is allowed to stay there. Oh, Xiao Qiao is guarding the emergency exit on the roof, ready to provide support at any time."

"What's the current situation of the hostages?" Liang Wei asked.

"It's not good. Fan Tianyou has already injured the hostage, but his life is not in danger for now. But if it continues, it will be hard to say."

"Also, I've already called Director Xie to report the situation. He's gone to the armed police to request sniper support. Director Xie's instructions are..." Wu Yongcheng paused, "The safety of the hostages is paramount. If necessary, they can be shot directly."

Liang Wei's face was solemn. He knew very well what killing Fan Tianyou meant to the Hongda case.

Fan Tianyou's actions clearly make him a murderer.

However, the truth of the case may be buried, and the grand case may become an unsolved cold case.

Because in the judicial system, if the murderer dies before the case is solved and the verdict is reached, the case cannot be considered solved.

Liang Wei also had another concern, which was the person he had just interrogated, Chen Gengyun.

What role did he play in the grand case?

"I observed this building when I came here just now. This is the tallest one nearby. I'm afraid the sniper doesn't have a suitable sniping position. Unless they can calculate an upward angle from the highest point nearby and lure Fan Tianyou to the edge of the rooftop." Liang Wei sighed and said, "But even then, there's a possibility that the hostages will fall from the building at the moment of the killing."

The two men came to the elevator with worried looks on their faces.

At this time, the building has been controlled by the task force, and the two passenger elevators, one internal elevator and the emergency passage are all under police control.

Just as the two were about to get into the elevator to go to the rooftop, a man hurriedly ran in from the lobby entrance and shouted, "Master."

Wu Yongcheng was about to step into the elevator when he saw that it was Chen Yan.

I quickly called him over and got into the elevator with him.

Wu Yongcheng introduced: "Chen Yan's marksmanship is excellent. I asked him to come to see if there is a chance to kill Fan Tianyou directly on the rooftop."

Liang Wei nodded, as if remembering something, and asked Chen Yan, "It was you who shot Long Zhiqiang, right?"

Chen Yan nodded.

Liang Wei nodded and said three words: "Sharpshooter."

The elevator cable kept pulling, carrying the elevator straight to the top floor.

…

On the roof of the 18-story inpatient building, the wind gradually grew stronger.

Standing at this height and overlooking the city, you can see the new and old of Hongcheng.

The brand new buildings and blocks are mixed with the old and crowded old town areas.

This city, like hundreds of other cities across the country, is slowly moving forward with the tide of the times. One day, it will undergo rapid changes and be completely transformed.

But at this moment, the three people on the roof did not appreciate the view of the mountains.

Because these three people are experiencing a life-and-death confrontation.

Moreover, the sky was getting darker, the wind was getting stronger, the clouds passing overhead were getting darker, and the air was filled with a strong sense of oppression.

Fan Tianyou's words made Zhou Yi very confused, and he asked hurriedly: "Where are we going?"

"The mine in Xinbei Town."

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat. Not sure what he was up to, he asked tentatively, "Why? What's there?"

Fan Tianyou's eyes flickered and he replied, "Lu Xiaoshuang is there."

Did he take the initiative to tell me the location where "Lu Xiaoshuang's body was abandoned"? Why?

Zhou Yi's brain was spinning rapidly in an instant. At this moment, he suddenly told himself that the mine in Xinbei Town could not be playing a trick on him, nor did it want to confess its crime.

But after he swore that he had not had any relationship with Lu Xiaoshuang, his reaction was shock, panic, and a hint of regret.

Thinking back to her previous life, Lu Xiaoshuang had not been sexually assaulted after her body was dismembered, and her hymen was intact.

And the photo fragment that appeared in Xiao Bing's house, the French word on the back means "pure flower".

It seems...Fan Tianyou's feelings for Lu Xiaoshuang contain an extremely paranoid virgin complex.

Has he been hurt by someone?

Could it be that Lu Xiaoshuang was involved in this life because he tracked her and found that Lu Xiaoshuang had stayed in his house for one night, so he thought that Lu Xiaoshuang had had a relationship with him, and the "pure flower" in his heart was defiled, so he chose to kill Lu Xiaoshuang?

What about Xu Liu?

There is no connection between him and Xu Liu. It is impossible that every girl around him is a "pure flower" in his eyes, right?

And even if Xu Liu’s financial backer might be Chen Gengyun, what does that have to do with him?

Even if he thought he had found "ironclad evidence" in this life, what about the previous life? Why did he kill Lu Xiaoshuang in the previous life? In the previous life, Lu Xiaoshuang had never been close to any men.

Xiao Bing? Even if Xiao Bing and Lu Xiaoshuang had more interactions in their previous life than in this one, it was impossible for Lu Xiaoshuang to stay overnight at his house. Not only would it be impossible for these two people to do that, but the fact that Dong Lu, who had been burned, was in Xiao Bing's house made it absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen.

Why did Fan Tianyou kill Lu Xiaoshuang in the previous life?

Moreover, he doesn't seem to be a person who has been emotionally hurt. Zhou Yi has handled cases where people who have been emotionally hurt have psychological distortion and committed murder. The murderer often develops a vicarious hatred towards people who meet special conditions.

It won't be like this.

What he just denied was himself, and the meaning and value of his existence.

Zhou Yi analyzed the problem in his mind in just a few seconds, but did not come up with any effective reasoning direction.

Fan Tianyou's emotions and psychology are obviously problematic, but his spirit is definitely fine. Everything he does now has behavioral logic, unlike Dong Lu.

But Zhou Yi still doesn’t know the logic behind these things and what the root cause is.

Seeing Zhou Yi didn't respond, Fan Tianyou suddenly shouted excitedly: "Go, why don't you ask them to find Lu Xiaoshuang!"

Zhou Yi stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you feel guilty and regret killing her?"

"I..." Fan Tianyou was suddenly at a loss and didn't know how to answer.

Even the scalpel that had been pressing against the hostage loosened a few centimeters.

Zhou Yi instantly felt that this was a good opportunity.

But just as he took a step, Fan Tianyou came to his senses, put the scalpel to the hostage's neck again and shouted, "Don't come over! Otherwise I will kill her!"

Zhou Yi quickly raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I won't come over. Don't get excited. I'm just afraid that we're too far away and you'll be too tired to talk."

"Go, go find her! She..." Fan Tianyou said halfway, but suddenly stopped talking.

Zhou Yi knew that what he meant was that Lu Xiaoshuang was dead.

Almost two weeks have passed since May 1st, and according to common sense, the bodies should have rotted away.

"She shouldn't have died, I thought... I thought..." Maybe it was because his body was burdened with increasing pressure, or because his mind was starting to become disordered, but he gradually began to talk nonsense, and his words became more and more unclear, mumbling something to no one.

This is a good thing, it means he will soon be unable to hold on.

But at the same time, what was worse was that his hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and the sharp scalpel kept cutting shallow wounds on the hostage's neck, and blood gushed out.

If this continues, the hostage may succumb to blood loss and die before Fan Tianyou runs out of energy.

Zhou Yi quickly shouted, "Fan Tianyou, calm down."

But Fan Tianyou seemed to be possessed by a demon, turning a deaf ear to him, and what he spoke was no longer Mandarin, but a dialect that Zhou Yi could not understand.

Zhou Yi knew that if this continued, something bad would happen. He had to either take a gamble and rush over now, or find a way to attract Fan Tianyou's attention.

There was only one solution before him, and he didn't want to do it, but he had to.

After hesitating for three seconds, Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fan Tianyou, Lu Xiaoshuang is not dead. She was successfully rescued on the night of May 1st! She was in the abandoned mine in Xinbei Town you mentioned!"

Zhou Yi's words were like a loud bell ringing out, and Fan Tianyou, who was already a little confused, suddenly came back to his senses, and his originally distracted eyes suddenly focused on Zhou Yi again.

"What did you say?" Fan Tianyou asked in disbelief.

"Lu Xiaoshuang is not dead, she is safe now. You don't have to blame yourself for this, so you can put down your weapon and we can sit down and talk calmly. I know you didn't do this alone, it's not your responsibility and you don't need to bear the blame for others, okay?"

Fan Tianyou's expression was dazed for a moment, he didn't know whether it was because Zhou Yi said Lu Xiaoshuang was not dead, or because of the last sentence.

"I don't believe it, you're lying to me. How could she possibly escape from that place? I don't believe it!"

"I didn't lie to you." Zhou Yi took out his cell phone and said, "I can call her right now."

Fan Tianyou said doubtfully, "Okay, you fight now."

Zhou Yi said, "But I have to come a little closer. It's too far away and the wind is so strong. I'm afraid you can't hear me clearly."

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Zhou Yi took two tentative steps forward, but Fan Tianyou immediately shouted, "Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Zhou Yi had no choice but to dial Qian Hongxing's home phone number. After a while, the call was picked up.

Yao Yuling's voice was on the other end of the line: "Hello, who is this?"

"Mrs. Qian, this is Zhou Yi. Please let Xiao Shuang answer the phone."

"Okay, Officer Zhou, please wait a moment." Then Yao Yuling was heard calling Xiaoshuang on the phone.

After a while, the phone was picked up again: "Hello, Brother Zhou, it's me."

Zhou Yi stared at Fan Tianyou intently and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Shuang, Professor Fan Tianyou is with me. He wants to talk to you."

Lu Xiaoshuang was stunned: "Professor Fan?"

But she didn't say anything more, and replied, "Okay."

Zhou Yi stretched the phone forward as far as possible and pressed the speaker button.

Fan Tianyou stared at the phone in Zhou Yi's hand without saying a word. Only the whistling sound of the wind could be heard faintly.

Then, Lu Xiaoshuang on the other end of the phone took the initiative to ask, "Hello, is this Professor Fan?"

Hearing Lu Xiaoshuang's voice, Fan Tianyou trembled all over as if he had been electrocuted. He opened his mouth but did not speak.

Lu Xiaoshuang didn't hear the answer, only the sound of wind whistling in the receiver.

She felt something was amiss. Zhou Yi would not explain everything to her. And why would Professor Fan be with Zhou Yi?

"Professor Fan, are you okay?" Lu Xiaoshuang asked softly.

These words floated out from the receiver like a feather, and were blown to Fan Tianyou's ears by the wind.

Fan Tianyou's emotions collapsed instantly, his expression painful, and he uttered three words almost in tears: "I'm sorry."

Lu Xiaoshuang on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, as if she realized something.

Just then, a large dark cloud passed by, shrouding the entire rooftop in darkness.

This sudden change in the surrounding environment, coupled with Fan Tianyou's current emotional breakdown, made Zhou Yi know that there was no better opportunity to take action.

He was about to throw away his phone and rush towards Fan Tianyou, but there was only one thing in his eyes, the scalpel in Fan Tianyou's hand.

His left hand was bandaged, and if he used this hand to grasp the scalpel, the damage should be minimized.

As long as he grabs the knife, Fan Tianyou's physical fitness is not enough to compete with him.

But before Zhou Yi could make a move, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from somewhere behind him on the right and pounced on Fan Tianyou.

…

Liang Wei and Wu Yongcheng went up to the emergency exit on the top floor and looked out.

It was about twenty meters from the emergency exit to where Zhou Yi was standing, and Fan Tianyou was about ten meters further ahead.

Fan Tianyou was only about seven or eight meters away from the edge of the rooftop behind him.

The wind on the roof was very strong, and Liang Wei had difficulty hearing the conversation between the two, but from Zhou Yi's raised hands, it could be seen that he was trying his best to persuade Fan Tianyou.

The emergency exit is located directly opposite Fan Tianyou.

Zhou Yi couldn't see what was happening behind him, but Fan Tianyou could, so Liang Wei didn't dare to risk going out.

But he observed the terrain of the roof and found that the roof was not flat. Although most of it was open space, there were still some objects blocking the view, such as pipes or equipment.

He pointed to a thick pipe less than ten meters to the left and rear of Fan Tianyou and whispered to Wu Yongcheng, "That spot. If we can find a way to get around it, we might be able to hit him directly in the right shoulder, making it impossible for him to harm the hostages."

Then he turned around and asked Chen Yan: "Are you sure about this distance?"

Chen Yan took a look and nodded: "It should be okay."

Wu Yongcheng asked Qiao Jiali to immediately find the floor plan of the hospital, which is usually hung in a conspicuous place on each floor.

I wanted to see if there was any other way to avoid Fan Tianyou's attention and get to the roof.

At the safety exit on the 18th floor, several doctors, as well as hospital leaders and security personnel were waiting.

They were asked to be on high alert and provide medical treatment to hostages and criminals at any time.

As soon as Qiao Jiali ran down and said this, the security officer quickly ran over and took the floor plan that was stuck on the wall.

Qiao Jiali took a look and asked the other person to go upstairs with her.

The security officer went up cautiously, called out "Leader" several times, and stood nervously by.

Liang Wei and Wu Yongcheng looked at the floor plan. Liang Wei pointed to a location and asked, "What's this?"

The security officer took a look, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh, this is a ventilation shaft. Except for regular inspections and maintenance or special needs, no one normally goes there."

"Can it lead to the roof?"

The security officer nodded and said yes.

Liang Wei knocked on the spot and said, "This is it. Run up from here, then go around to the pipe and act accordingly. While ensuring the safety of the hostages, try not to kill Fan Tianyou."

Chen Yan nodded: "I understand."

Wu Yongcheng said to the security officer, "Lead us, hurry up."

As Wu Yongcheng and Chen Yan left with the security officer, Xiang Jie came running over: "Captain Liang, the reinforcements, the sniper, have arrived, and the fire rescue air cushions are also in place."

This was what he thought of on the way here, and then he asked Xiang Jie to contact the local fire department.

But he knew very well that the height of this floor was too high, more than twice the maximum rescue height of the fire air cushion. If he really fell from the building, even if there was an air cushion below, it was unknown whether he could survive.

Wu Yongcheng and Chen Yan hurriedly followed the security officer downstairs.

The ventilation shaft is vertical, and although there are openings connecting to the interior of each floor, the openings on most floors are too small for maintenance personnel to enter.

The nearest entrance accessible to humans is on the twelfth floor.

The three of them went down to the twelfth floor, and the security officer led them in from the medical staff work area, around to the equipment area, and came to the entrance of the ventilation shaft.

Wu Yongcheng stuck his head out to look, but it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything.

The clerk nearby quickly handed over a flashlight, and Wu Yongcheng took it and shone it inside.

It was pitch black below, but a faint light could be seen above. The ventilation shaft was of a large size, in line with the requirements of the scale of the building.

The air inside was actually very clean, because the structure was designed to promote ventilation, but the wind was howling inside, like a woman crying.

There is a ladder welded to the wall on one side, leading all the way up to the roof of the passage.

Chen Yan also leaned over to take a look and felt a little scared.

"It's so deep, it would be terrible if you fell in."

The security officer twitched his lips and said, "No, there's a movable iron net every few floors. You just flip it up when you climb up. Maintenance workers use safety ropes when they're working. Besides, who would normally come here?"

Wu Yongcheng drew back and said seriously, "We need to strengthen the security in the future. You didn't even lock this entrance. What if something goes wrong?"

The clerk quickly apologized and said, "It was our negligence in our work. We will definitely correct it!"

Wu Yongcheng looked at Chen Yan and said, "Come on, I'll climb up with you."

Chen Yan was in front, biting a flashlight in his mouth, and Wu Yongcheng followed behind. The security officer naturally didn't dare to go up, so he just stood guard at the entrance.

The closer they got to the roof, the harder the wind made it difficult for them to open their eyes.

Chen Yan simply put away the flashlight because his mouth had become numb.

According to the security officer, after reaching the top, there will be a curve design on the ventilation shaft, and the entrance of the curve will be covered with a wire mesh.

Chen Yan climbed up with great difficulty and saw the light. As soon as he stuck his head out to the bend, he was stunned.

Wu Yongcheng, who was standing under him, realized that he couldn't stop and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yan lowered his head and whispered, "Master, the barbed wire at the exit is open."

…

When Zhou Yi saw the figure rushing towards Fan Tianyou, he immediately shouted, "No!"

He didn't understand why Dong Lu appeared here?

How did she get up there?

And why is she in that position?

But the biggest problem was that her sudden appearance disrupted his plans.

Fan Tianyou was startled by Dong Lu's sudden appearance, because when he turned his head, he saw a man like an evil ghost rushing towards him.

He was instantly frightened and instinctively wanted to step back, but his right hand had become stiff due to the prolonged exertion and the effects of the anesthetic.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Yi rushed over immediately, but he was still a step too late.

He watched helplessly as the sharp scalpel passed by the nurse's neck. In an instant, blood spurted out from the nurse's neck and her carotid artery ruptured!

Dong Lu was one step faster than Zhou Yi and knocked Fan Tianyou to the ground in one fell swoop. Due to the huge force, inertia caused both of them to roll out, and Fan Tianyou even rolled to a place not far from the edge of the rooftop.

But Dong Lu's physical reaction was obviously faster than Fan Tianyou's. He immediately crawled over, sat on him, and started fighting.

He beat me and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Why, why do you do this to me!"

"We just exchanged a few words. I don't even know your name. Why did you burn me with gasoline? Why did you want to hurt me?"

Dong Lu's roar was full of grievance, despair, anger and pain. She didn't know the man's name, but she remembered his voice.

She remembered that late that night, she was awakened from her deep sleep by the pungent smell of gasoline, and then she saw the faint light of a match suddenly lit in the darkness.

The faint light illuminated a somewhat unfamiliar face in the dark abyss. It was the face of a devil.

It was the nightmare in every nightmare she had thereafter.

The face threw the match towards her indifferently. In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky and illuminated everything around, but could not illuminate the dark figure.

She was enveloped in a huge flame, and the burning pain that could tear and crush every cell in her body never stopped from that moment on.

She didn't understand, why? Why? Why on earth was this happening???

"Ahhh!" She seemed to want to vent all the pain she had endured every minute and every second over the years.

She had only one thought in her mind, that she wanted to return the pain to the other person hundreds or thousands of times.

Fan Tianyou, who was already at the end of his strength, was no match for Dong Lu who was in an attack state. He was beaten all over and screamed in pain.

Until he realized that he still had the scalpel in his hand, he began to swing it wildly and stabbed at Dong Lu who was riding on him.

But he found that the other party seemed to feel no pain at all. No matter how many times he stabbed him, the other party's fists hitting him became heavier and heavier, like stones.

He was shaking with pain and almost fainted.

There seemed to be endless hatred in Dong Lu's broken and thin body. She suddenly opened her mouth and bit Fan Tianyou's neck.

"Ah--" Fan Tianyou's painful scream hovered in the air.

The next second, Dong Lu, like Xiao Bing, bit off a piece of flesh from Fan Tianyou.

And all this happened in a very short period of time.

When Fan Tianyou was knocked down by Dong Lu and the two men rolled out, Zhou Yi caught the fallen hostage.

In an instant, a decision appeared in Zhou Yi's mind.

Should he stop Dong Lu, control Fan Tianyou, or rescue the hostages?

Fan Tianyou's knife cut the hostage's carotid artery, and blood was flowing out.

Zhou Yi didn't hesitate and immediately pressed the hostage's wound with both hands, saying comfortingly, "It's okay, don't move, the doctor will be here soon."

Then he shouted towards the emergency exit: "Doctor! Come and save people!"

After such a long period of torture, the nurse's spirit and body had reached their limits. She lay on the ground with her body twitching slightly.

Because the previous hostage-taking occurred in the operating room, the female nurse was wearing a surgical cap and mask.

When she fell down just now, her mask fell off.

Zhou Yi then discovered that he actually knew this nurse. She was Maomao, the night shift nurse who gossiped to him about Du Xiaolin's case.

On the night of his rebirth, in the dark Shangyang Alley, Zhou Yi knelt on the ground and pressed Du Xiaolin's wound.

But at that time, Du Xiaolin had lost a lot of blood and was beyond help.

And now, the location is in the hospital. Maomao's carotid artery has just ruptured and the golden rescue time has not yet expired.

"Maomao, you won't die. Don't worry, you definitely won't die!"

The moment the accident happened, Liang Wei rushed out of the emergency exit immediately, while Wu Yongcheng just climbed out of the ventilation shaft.

Liang Wei rushed to Zhou Yi and shouted to Qiao Jiali who was following behind him: "Hurry up and call a doctor to save him!"

On the other side, Chen Yan rushed over before Wu Yongcheng, pointed the gun at Dong Lu and shouted, "Don't move, or I'll shoot!"

But at this moment, Dong Lu was completely in a state of madness. He turned a deaf ear to everything in the outside world and bit off one of Fan Tianyou's ears.

"Brother Yan, don't shoot!" Zhou Yi shouted anxiously. He had seen Dong Lu when she was ill, and if he didn't hit her vital parts, he would probably not be able to stop her at all.

Unless you kill her directly!

Of course Chen Yan can do it.

But the question is, why did Dong Lu die because of this?

The words she shouted just now have already made it clear that the person who set the fire to burn her to death was indeed Fan Tianyou.

Moreover, it seemed that there was no friendship between the two, so Dong Lu had no reaction when she heard the name Fan Tianyou before.

Zhou Yi didn't know what Fan Tianyou's motive was for committing the crime, but he knew that the culprit who ruined Xiao Bing and Dong Lu's lives was this beast in human skin.

And he is also the murderer of Xiao Bing.

The apology and guilt he had just expressed to Lu Xiaoshuang did not make Zhou Yi sympathize with him.

Because Lu Xiaoshuang was truly kidnapped and thrown into a mine to wait for death. Even after her death, she would be suspected and even cursed because of their scheme.

If it weren't for her strong will to survive, she would have been a rotting corpse by now.

For a murderer to say sorry to the deceased is the most unworthy thing in the world!

Zhou Yi even had this thought in his heart: if he could let Dong Lu kill him, it would be considered revenge for Xiao Bing.

It is only right that Dong Lu avenge this grudge!

What's more, she is mentally ill, and a mentally ill person who kills someone does not bear criminal responsibility!

Chen Yan had originally planned to pull the trigger, but when he heard Zhou Yi's words, he hesitated.

He had never seen Dong Lu, so he didn't know that the madman in front of him who looked like a demon was Dong Lu. He was just instinctively performing his duties as a police officer.

At this moment, Fan Tianyou used up his last bit of strength and stabbed the scalpel in his hand into Dong Lu's abdomen.

It was not known whether she was injured in a vital part or because the wound inflicted by Fan Tianyou earlier caused Dong Lu to lose too much blood, but her body suddenly became shaky and she fell down.

Zhou Yi was shocked because Dong Lu fell towards the edge of the rooftop.

He immediately stood up and rushed over. When his hand left the wound on Maomao's neck, Liang Wei reached out and pressed the wound in an instant. Behind him, Qiao Jiali ran over with a group of doctors.

But Zhou Yi was too far away and he couldn't catch up. He could only watch Dong Lu's body fall from the edge of the roof.

A huge feeling of powerlessness came over him like a tsunami. Could it be that in the end he couldn't even save Dong Lu?

At the critical moment, a strong hand from the edge of the rooftop grabbed Dong Lu's arm.

Wu Yongcheng, who arrived late, grabbed Dong Lu at the last moment.

At this moment, another thing happened.

Covered in blood, Fan Tianyou gritted his teeth, turned over suddenly, and rolled down from the edge of the roof.

Zhou Yi, who arrived at this time, rushed over and grabbed Fan Tianyou's injured right hand at the last moment.

There were a lot of people downstairs, including police, firefighters and onlookers.

Everyone was watching the scene on the rooftop in shock. Two people were hanging on the edge of the roof, ready to fall at any moment.

The firefighters downstairs immediately adjusted the position of the life-saving air cushion below based on the position of the two people on the roof.

Chen Yan quickly put away his gun and ran over, but seeing Wu Yongcheng dragging the unconscious Dong Lu and Zhou Yi dragging the dying Fan Tianyou, he didn't know which one to save first.

Zhou Yi shouted, "Save Dong Lu first!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan immediately reached out to grab Dong Lu's hand, and together with Wu Yongcheng, they pulled Dong Lu up.

Then, without even having time to breathe, he immediately reached out to help Zhou Yi pull Fan Tianyou.

But at this moment, Zhou Yi could no longer hold Fan Tianyou's hand.

Because his hands were covered with Maomao's blood, the blood reduced friction, and Fan Tianyou's hands slid down little by little.

At first, Zhou Yi thought that Fan Tianyou had given up the will to live because he fell down by himself and wanted to commit suicide.

And he didn't use any strength in his right hand at all.

But when Zhou Yi looked down, he realized that Fan Tianyou didn't want to die. He regretted it, and his eyes were full of desire for life.

But his right hand was disabled and he couldn't even use any strength in it.

The blood on Zhou Yi's hands made him unable to pull the person up. The blood was caused by Fan Tianyou himself.

"Save me." Fan Tianyou squeezed out three words from his throat.

The next second, his hand completely slipped from Zhou Yi's hand.

Chen Yan was a step too late and could only watch Fan Tianyou fall from the 18th floor of the building.

This is not an eighteen-story building, this is the eighteen levels of hell leading to the abyss on earth.

The crowd watching downstairs exclaimed as they watched the man fall straight down and hit the rescue air cushion with a loud bang.

Zhou Yi looked at this scene and his mind went blank.

But the next moment, he heard Wu Yongcheng shouting, "Doctor, come quickly! She has no heartbeat!"

When Zhou Yi heard this, he didn't care about Fan Tianyou who was downstairs and his life or death was unknown. He immediately rushed to Dong Lu's side, laid on her chest and listened. Sure enough, there was no heartbeat.

"No, no, no, it shouldn't be like this. Good people shouldn't die! Doctor, please save her."

Several doctors rushed over and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration on Dong Lu.

Wu Yongcheng pulled Zhou Yi away, patted his shoulder, sighed and said, "Perhaps...leaving is the only relief for her."

At this moment, whether upstairs or downstairs, there was chaos.

Zhou Yi knew that he could no longer help.

Chen Yan came over and said guiltily, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Yi shook his head, patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Yan, we have all tried our best. This is their fate."

Suddenly, Zhou Yi saw his cell phone dropped on the ground.

He bent down to pick it up, only to find that he had not hung up the phone with Lu Xiaoshuang and was still on the call.

He leaned closer to the phone and tried to call out, "Xiao Shuang?"

A firm yet gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "I'm here."

…

Maomao, Dong Lu and Fan Tianyou were all sent to the operating room for emergency treatment. The whole hospital was in chaos and the police were maintaining order.

Nurse Maomao was the first to be out of danger. Although her aorta was ruptured, the wound was not too deep. Secondly, Zhou Yi performed pressing and treatment from the moment the blood spurted out. With the doctor's full rescue efforts, she was finally out of danger.

But Dong Lu and Fan Tianyou are still being rescued, and their life or death is unknown.

Because a fire-fighting air cushion was deployed in advance, Fan Tianyou was still breathing when he was lifted off the air cushion after falling, but he was unconscious.

Zhou Yi didn't know whether he could survive, but he was very conflicted. He wanted Fan Tianyou to live, but he also wanted him to die.

But what he really wants to see is that Fan Tianyou receives the punishment he deserves, whether it is from the law or public opinion. It would be too easy for him to die like this.

The person in real danger was Dong Lu. Her heart stopped beating for a while, but with the doctor's full efforts, her heart finally started beating again.

But the doctor said she had lost a lot of blood and showed signs of organ failure, so she was immediately taken to the operating room for emergency treatment.

At this moment, Zhou Yi was sitting on a bench downstairs outside the hospital building in a daze.

The blood on my hands has been washed clean.

He wanted to be quiet and didn't tell anyone.

Liang Wei was cleaning up the mess, while Wu Yongcheng, Chen Yan and others were waiting outside the operating area for the results.

Zhou Yi lowered his head, staring at the ground in a daze, his mind blank.

Suddenly, he felt someone walking past him.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he looked up.

He saw the back of a girl walking towards the front.

He vaguely felt that the girl's back looked familiar, as if she looked a bit like Lu Xiaoshuang, but not necessarily.

The girl was wearing a high school uniform, carrying an old schoolbag that had been washed so much that it looked bleached, and had her hair tied in a high ponytail.

Then, Zhou Yi saw someone standing under the street light in front of him.

He is a boy, not tall, thin, wearing glasses and looking gentle.

Zhou Yi thought he had seen it wrong and couldn't help but stand up.

Isn’t this... isn’t this Xiao Bing?

She just looks so young and full of energy.

Under the street light, Xiao Bing looked at the girl walking towards him affectionately.

The girl walked up to him and opened her arms coquettishly.

Xiao Bing also opened his arms and gave her a big hug with a doting smile.

After the hug, Xiao Bing held the girl's hand tightly.

Then the two of them turned around and looked towards Zhou Yi.

It was not until then that Zhou Yi could see the girl's appearance clearly.

It’s Dong Lu!

She looked exactly the same as the one he had seen in the photo, Dong Lu before she was disfigured.

Xiao Bing held Dong Lu's hand and stood under the warm yellow street light.

The two men bowed deeply to Zhou Yi.

After they finished bowing, Zhou Yi was surprised to find that they no longer looked young, but had become in their early thirties.

Xiao Bing was the Xiao Bing he was familiar with, but Dong Lu was no longer the burned Dong Lu. She had her hair tied up in a bun and looked so gentle and virtuous.

Then they held hands, turned around, and walked away in a farther direction.

Zhou Yi was in a daze. He wanted to ask the two to wait, but he didn't know what to say after calling them.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the conversation between the two.

"I will never let you walk alone at night again, Teacher Xiaolu."

"It's okay. With Teacher Xiao by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of."

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. Zhou Yi looked down and saw that it was Wu Yongcheng calling.

He pressed the call button, and when he looked up again, he found that Xiao Bing and Dong Lu were no longer at the end of the road.

"Zhou Yi, Dong Lu was successfully rescued and is out of danger."

Wu Yongcheng's words left Zhou Yi stunned.

He stared blankly at the end of the path. Was he dreaming or hallucinating?

He suddenly felt salty in his mouth. He reached out and touched it, and found that his face was covered with tears.

At this moment, he saw a familiar figure appear at the end of the road, in the direction where Xiao Bing and Dong Lu disappeared.

When Lu Xiaoshuang saw him standing there, she immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms.
