Chapter 271 The Shop Almost Burned Down
No sooner had Sang Ruo finished speaking than the leading man suddenly lit the lighter in his hand, intending to throw it on the ground.
It seems these people really do intend to set fire to her shop!
A surge of anger instantly spread through her heart.
The other person rushed up quickly, seemingly trying to throw the lighter onto the spot where alcohol had already been poured.
Seeing this, she rushed forward and quickly stood in front of the other person, saying, "You dare to set fire to my face! Who gave you the guts to do such a thing?"
After being stopped, the man in the lead showed a hint of panic in his eyes.
Sang Ruo quickly reached out, trying to snatch the other man's phone, but the man showed no intention of giving up. After circling around her a few times, he finally ordered the two men behind him to restrain her.
The two men rushed up quickly, trying to restrain Sang Ruo's hands and feet, but she reacted very quickly, kicking each of them in the groin.
"ah--"
"ah--"
Two shouts pierced his ears instantly, and he quickly squatted down, clutching a part of his body in pain.
"They're utterly useless!"
Upon seeing this, the leader rushed over and suddenly kicked Sang Ruo hard in the abdomen.
The other person used almost all their strength to kick her two meters away, causing her to fall to the ground instantly.
A sharp pain instantly spread from her abdomen, making it difficult for her to breathe.
That's really ruthless!
That kick probably caused her internal injuries.
The man took out his lighter again, and the moment he reached out his hand, she suddenly saw a centipede tattoo on the web of his right hand.
It looks just like the tattoos of someone who hangs out in the underworld, a tattoo specific to a certain sect.
Her entire attention was focused on the other person's hand, and she didn't notice at all that he had thrown the lighter to the ground.
The moment the lighter touched the alcohol on the ground, the flame instantly spread in all directions.
This scene made Sang Ruo's heart leap into her throat.
It's over.
That's it, everything's over.
The men in black quickly rushed to the two motorcycles next to them and sped away without hesitation.
The fire is still spreading. Perhaps because she stepped in to stop it, when they poured the alcohol earlier, it wasn't continuous. There was a gap between the ground and the roller shutter door. Otherwise, the fire would have definitely burned up the roller shutter door.
Sang Ruo kept herself calm, decisively went back into the house to get a fire extinguisher, and before the fire could completely spread to the side of the roller shutter door, she quickly opened the fire extinguisher and extinguished the fire.
It took two full fire extinguishers to completely extinguish the fire at the entrance.
Throughout the process, the pain in my abdomen came in waves and did not subside for a long time.
Fearing the fire might reignite, she used a large amount of snow from the roadside to cover the spot where the fire had just started before calling the police.
After making the call to the police, I looked at my phone screen; it was midnight.
"bite--"
Just then, a WeChat notification popped up on my phone. When I opened it, I found it was a message from Bo Jinyan.
Xiaoruo, are you asleep?
Sang Ruo quickly dialed him back via voice call.
The other end answered quickly: "You really haven't rested yet?"
There was a hint of surprise in the man's voice.
Sang Ruo gritted her teeth and finally recounted what had just happened to him briefly.
"I'll be right there."
“I’ve already called the police. You should get some rest! Come back tomorrow…” Sang Ruo quickly stopped him, “Besides, the roads are blocked by heavy snow. It’s almost a kilometer from the clinic to here. You can’t drive here at all.”
"It's okay, I'll find a way to get there. You wait for me there, and be careful. Call me anytime if anything happens."
After pondering for a while, Sang Ruo finally spoke and said, "Okay."
The police arrived at the scene faster than Bo Jinyan, and Sang Ruo told them all the details.
The person who spoke with her about the situation was a policewoman surnamed Chen.
After collecting evidence at the scene, Officer Chen looked around and asked, "Don't you have security cameras installed in front of your shop?"
"No." Sang Ru shook her head subconsciously: "Because this is my newly opened shop, and it was only recently settled. I was planning to install it in a few days, but I didn't expect this to happen at this time."
Officer Chen's brows furrowed slightly: "Next, we will investigate the scene based on nearby surveillance footage, but it's not certain that we'll be able to capture your shop entrance on camera. We will do our utmost to find the culprit and bring him to justice as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, Officer Chen."
"You're welcome." Officer Chen turned to look at her. "Normally, people aren't allowed to live in shops, but due to the special circumstances tonight, we won't pursue your responsibility. We'll also arrange for two officers to keep watch nearby. We still suggest you go home as soon as possible."
"Because the roads were blocked by heavy snow, I couldn't drive back last night, so I had to stay here for the night."
"The snow has been cleared, you can drive back now."
"good."
No sooner had Officer Chen left than Bo Jinyan arrived at the entrance of her shop.
The man's expression turned unusually tense: "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
The moment Bo Jinyan saw her, he quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Coincidentally, it touched the wound on her abdomen.
"ah--"
A sharp, stinging pain made her involuntarily cry out softly, her brows furrowing slightly, her expression one of extreme agony.
Bo Jinyan quickly released her, glancing at her hand as it reached towards her abdomen.
The man's expression changed drastically, and he tentatively asked, "Did they hit you? Did they hurt your abdomen?"
Sang Ruo nodded subconsciously: "They kicked me."
Bo Jinyan quickly picked her up and carried her inside.
The man reached out his well-defined knuckles and lifted the fabric covering her abdomen, revealing a shocking red stain that instantly caught their eye.
Even Sang Ruo was stunned when she saw the scar.
I never expected the injury to be so serious.
"damn it."
Bo Jinyan clenched his fist and swore, a rare occurrence for him.
This was the first time she had ever heard him swear.
"I'll take you to the hospital right away."
The next moment, he scooped her up in his arms and strode toward the door.
Sang Ruo quickly stopped him: "It's too late. Just go buy some medicine and apply it."
Bo Jinyan immediately retorted, "How can that be? You're injured like this, you definitely need to go to the hospital!"
