"Song Yunzheng, if I can get back alive, I won't be angry with you anymore." Lin Yue thought as she ran, fear gripping her heart, and all she could think about was him.
As they approached the intersection, a woman slowly emerged from around the corner. Lin Yue was startled. Wasn't this... the woman she had met at the noodle shop last time? The woman named Wanwan.
"Hurry up and come this way, there are traffic police at the intersection ahead."
Wanwan led Lin Yue straight towards the police ahead. When they were almost there, she stopped and pushed her forward, saying, "I'll take you this far." Then she plunged into the darkness and disappeared.
Lin Yue glanced back hastily, then turned and ran towards the traffic police, knowing she was safe only by staying with them.
The bar was in complete chaos.
After Song Yunxi jumped off the stage, he searched for Lin Yue in the crowd like a headless fly, his body covered in cold sweat and his feet were chilled to the bone...
She clearly saw the gleaming dagger in the man's hand, pointed at Lin Yue. What if... what if something happened to Lin Yue? She would be guilty beyond measure, and Song Yunzheng would go crazy!
The bar doors were locked, the crowd was restless, and a sense of panic had already spread.
Suddenly, with a "bang," the police broke down the door and entered.
"Police! Police! Murder! There's a killer!" someone shouted. Seeing the police meant seeing a glimmer of hope, and people rushed towards them.
Seeing that he hadn't found Lin Yue and had even attracted the police, the man in black cursed inwardly... He quickly took off his hat and mask, blended into the crowd, and tried to escape through the back door of the bar.
Lu Wuqi had been waiting there for a long time. As soon as the man in black appeared, he quickly knocked him to the ground, took the dagger from his hand, tied his hands and feet, carried him up and threw him in front of the police, then turned and left.
In the instant he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Song Yunxi in the crowd out of the corner of his eye; she was staring straight at him…
With just a glance, he felt a jolt in his heart, pressed down the brim of his hat, quickened his pace, and fled through the back door.
Song Yunxi's big eyes filled with tears. She knew she hadn't misjudged! She knew she hadn't misjudged Gubei Water Town!
After realizing what was happening, he pushed through the crowd and followed them without a second thought.
A young policeman, seeing this, was about to give chase, but was stopped by his captain after taking just one step. "Don't chase them, they're on our side."
Song Yunxi ran out the back door and screamed in despair through the dimly lit alley: "Xu Muyao! Come out! Xu Muyao! Come out! Come out! Stop playing dumb! Why are you hiding from me?! Why are you still hiding from me now that you're back?!"
He cried out in despair, sobbing uncontrollably...
The screeching sound of brakes shattered the tranquility of the night as the black Bentley Mulsanne screeched to a halt in front of the bar. Song Yunzheng didn't even have time to lock the car door before he sprinted towards the bar entrance.
Before they even touched the doorknob, the door was pushed open from the inside, and the police escorted the murderer out, followed by a large group of people.
Song Yunzheng quickly retreated to the side, sweat beading on his forehead. Why were there police officers? What happened inside? Was the little girl still inside? Was she alright?
These questions instantly assaulted his brain, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, making him feel suffocated...
He couldn't wait any longer. He pushed his way through the crowd and rushed in. What greeted his eyes was a scene of utter chaos: broken wine glasses, overturned tables and chairs…
His eyes anxiously searched every corner, and he kept calling out, "Yueyue... Lin Yue, Lin Yue!" His tongue was trembling.
He abruptly grabbed the waiter who was cleaning up the mess and asked in a cold voice, "What happened here?!"
The waiter looked at him in horror and stammered, "There was just a...a murder here, there was...a killer..."
Murder? Assassin? Song Yunzheng staggered, shook off the waiter, and rushed out of the bar like a madman. The street was quiet, the police had already left, and his heart was trembling uncontrollably.
He got into the car unsteadily, then floored the gas pedal and sped all the way to the nearest police station.
With a "bang..." sound.
The police station door was suddenly pushed open, startling the officer on duty. He was about to reprimand the man sternly, but upon recognizing the man as the young master of the Song family, his expression immediately softened.
"Mr. Song, is there anything I can help you with?" the police officer asked softly.
"Did your police station just arrest a knife-wielding assailant at the PACSTAR bar?"
"Yes, he has been detained and is being interrogated."
Were there any injuries or fatalities at the bar?
When he asked that question, Song Yunzheng felt his whole body tense up, as if a taut string was about to snap.
"Oh, no, it was just a man who was trampled in the crowd, everyone else is fine."
The police officer's answer was like a calming agent for Song Yunzheng. He let out a heavy sigh and murmured, "It's alright, it's alright..."
After thanking the police, he quickly returned to his car and called Song Yunxi again. Fortunately, the call was answered quickly.
"Song Yunxi!" A roar startled the person on the other end, who nearly dropped their phone.
"Brother, I know you're angry, but calm down first, finding her is the priority! I was on my way to find my sister-in-law when that hitman in the bar was after her! I saw it! The killer has been caught, but my sister-in-law is still missing!"
Song Yunxi finished speaking at the fastest speed she had ever used, her words filled with tension and fear. Yes, she was afraid; she was afraid that her impulsive act would shatter the happiness her brother had worked so hard for.
Instead of Song Yunzheng's angry curses, all that could be heard on the other end of the phone was his heavy breathing. "Find him! Get the bodyguards to go find him!"
