After thinking it over, Shen Yizhou went up to the 5th floor. He Tiantian was holding a broom from home.
They quietly approached the door, which was open and unlocked, and the sounds inside could be faintly heard.
It looks like it's coming from the toilet!
This time, He Tiantian resolutely protected Shen Yizhou behind her, and she stood in front to lead the way.
She gently pushed open the bathroom door, and there lay Tang Hao, covered in blood, in the bathtub. He Tiantian didn't have time to think and quickly pulled him out.
Shen Yizhou reacted the fastest, locking the toilet door immediately. Wang Lu was turned away. He hid in the kitchen next to the toilet, waiting for the two to take the bait.
Who knew Shen Yizhou was so clever?
Tang Hao looked at the two of them weakly. "This murderer is very clever. He soaked me in water to relieve my pain and slowly made me lose consciousness. You should call the police quickly."
He Tiantian's hands trembled with nervousness. She hurriedly took out her phone to call the police and then dialed 120. Even after doing all this, her hands were still shaking.
Shen Yizhou leaned against the door, listening to the sounds outside. There was a completely dry towel in the bathroom, which He Tiantian took down and placed on Tang Hao's wound.
They pulled him out of the water again. Tang Hao's feet were a bloody mess. He Tiantian recognized them at a glance—they were hit by a hammer!
So that person is still Wang Lu...
Wang Lu, who was outside the door, had lost his patience. He twisted his neck frantically and swung the hammer, intending to smash it down.
The landlady came in and turned on the light. When she saw Wang Lu in front of her wearing a raincoat and holding a hammer, she immediately fainted from fright.
In the end, Wang Lu couldn't bring herself to harm an old woman, who was one of the few who had treated her quite well. She dragged the old woman to the stairwell.
Her initially reluctant gaze suddenly turned sharp. If she pitys others, then who will pity her? If she lets this old woman go, who will let her go?
It had come to this point; she turned her head and smashed the hammer down—there was no turning back…
He Tiantian listened to the sounds outside the door and felt something was wrong. Why was Wang Lu silent?
"Should we go out and check? What if he's already left out of fear?" she asked, trying to keep her voice down.
"Don't go out, this person is terrifying." Tang Hao weakly grabbed He Tiantian.
"I'm not going out! Don't say anything, just hold your breath!"
Tang Hao gave a weak laugh. He Tiantian was still saying such things to him at a time like this.
Wang Lu returned to room 504 and quickly locked the door. Since the couple had come to her, it suited her just fine.
He wrapped two layers of cloth around the hammer so that it wouldn't make as much noise when he hit it.
Seizing the opportunity, he swung the hammer down, and with a loud thud, He Tiantian's heart pounded.
He pounded on the door again and again, and Shen Yizhou was almost thrown into the air by the impact. He Tiantian helped him hold it up.
They had to hold out until the police arrived. Tang Hao had already called his partner, who should be there soon.
Sure enough, there was a knock on the door of 504. "Hello! Someone ordered takeout for 504. Please open the door, thank you."
The partner spoke nervously, unaware that his voice was trembling.
Wang Lu ignored it and instead pounded on the toilet door even harder. Her partner had already called the police, who were certain that someone was inside.
They immediately began the breaching operation. At the critical moment, Wang Lu smashed open the toilet door. Since she was going to die anyway, she might as well take someone down with her.
He Tiantian was startled. Suddenly, she unleashed a powerful force, knocking Wang Lu to the ground. Wang Lu was, after all, a girl.
He Tiantian knocked her to the ground, and the hammer pressed down on her back, the pain shooting straight to her bones.
For a moment he couldn't straighten up, but his mind was already racing. He endured the pain and grabbed He Tiantian, who was trying to leave.
He grabbed her hair and pulled it back frantically.
He Tiantian fell to her knees in pain. Shen Yizhou kicked her, helped her up, and left. Wang Lu was still holding a clump of hair in her hand.
Despite the pain, Tang Haoqiang walked to the door of 504 and opened it. The moment he opened the door, he collapsed to the ground. He really couldn't hold on any longer.
The police rushed in and eventually subdued Wang Lu on the ground. He Tiantian's head was bleeding profusely, which terrified Shen Yizhou, who then took her to the hospital.
The nurse patiently applied the medicine to her and bandaged her up beautifully. She also told her not to wash her hair for the next few days and to try to avoid getting it wet.
Although she was injured, she was still very happy, as she had bravely protected Shen Yizhou once.
On their way home, Shen Yizhou suddenly stopped and stared intently at He Tiantian. "Don't do that again next time. I'll feel even more guilty if you get hurt."
He Tiantian froze in front of him, "But Zhouzhou, we're teammates, we both have to protect each other."
Shen Yizhou looked into He Tiantian's eyes, then put his arm around her. The two of them stood there on the street, neither of them saying a word.
He Tiantian gently patted Shen Yizhou's back, "It's okay. You got hurt protecting me, and I'll get hurt protecting you. We're even!"
"Fool, I don't want you to even things out with me."
As long as you are safe.
The two strolled back to 404. The farce was finally coming to an end. When they got to their doorstep, there were crayfish and lemon tea on the ground.
Shen Yizhou then remembered to take out his phone. The delivery guy had called him a lot and sent him several text messages in a fit of anger.
Hey bro, answer the phone!
If you don't answer the phone, I'll take it.
Okay, okay, just kidding, hehe. I left it at your doorstep. Remember to give me a five-star review!
