The doctor had never seen anything like it before, and watched helplessly as a "country bumpkin" took down several policemen in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the other person was staring at him with bloodshot eyes. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground, his voice trembling.
"Who...who are you?! What...what do you want?! This...this is a hospital! More police will be here very soon!"
Xu Kuo grabbed the doctor's arm, suppressing his anxiety and trying his best to make his voice sound less frightening.
"Doctor! Don't be afraid! I'm the patient inside, Sheng Xu's friend! Tell me quickly! How...how is he now?!"
The doctor, gripped by him, felt the immense force and urgency in his hand, which finally calmed him down slightly.
But then, the solemnity on his face deepened, and his gaze toward Xu Kuo was filled with sympathy and helplessness. He spoke with difficulty, revealing the cruel reality.
"He's...he's dying...the bullet...the bullet hit a vital spot, he's losing too much blood...we did our best...but..."
The doctor swallowed hard and looked away, unable to bear it.
"I...I came out to inform the family...to prepare for the funeral, to see...to say a final goodbye..."
The doctor's voice trembled, and every word struck everyone's hearts heavily, shattering the last glimmer of hope!
"No--!!!"
A young police officer could no longer bear it. His legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the cold ground, covering his face with his hands and letting out a heart-wrenching cry!
"Captain Sheng!!"
The cry seemed to be a signal, instantly igniting the long-suppressed grief and anger of all the police officers.
The men who had been knocked down by Xu Kuo earlier were now ignoring their pain and struggling to get up. Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at Xu Kuo, their eyes filled with a desire to devour him alive!
"You son of a bitch! I'll fight you to the death!"
The first officer who was thrown off got up, blood still dripping from his mouth, and roared hoarsely.
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, you jinx! How could Captain Sheng have gotten into this mess?! Huh?!"
"Yes! Catch him! We can't let him get away! He's the murderer's accomplice! He's here to gather information, or maybe...maybe to silence him!"
The other officer who was knocked down gritted his teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"We're going to skin him alive today!"
We must take him down today! Avenge Captain Sheng!
"I'm not!"
Looking at the police officers in front of him, who were indignant and almost out of control, Xu Kuo felt that he had no way to defend himself!
These people are blinded by anger and won't listen to anything we say!
He tried to explain, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by a series of hurried and flustered footsteps.
"Sheng Xu! Where's Sheng Xu?! Has anyone seen my old Sheng?!"
A middle-aged woman with a haggard face and sunken eyes stumbled over.
Behind her followed a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with two braids and tears streaming down her face. She clung tightly to her mother's clothes, her eyes filled with fear and unease.
They are Captain Sheng's wife and daughter!
Upon seeing them, the officers, who had been shouting angrily, instantly choked up.
The men who had been so fierce just moments before now had tears in their eyes and didn't know how to speak.
"Sister-in-law... Xiaoli..."
The older officer, fighting back tears, said in a trembling voice, "You...you've come..."
When Sheng's wife saw the police officers' appearance, and then saw the doctor at the door of the emergency room and the somber atmosphere, her heart sank to the bottom!
She grabbed the officer's arm, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
"Old Wu! Tell me! Sheng Xu... what happened to him?! Tell me now!"
The police officer, known as Lao Wu, could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face.
He turned his head with difficulty, pointing at the doctor who had just announced the bad news, his voice choked with sobs.
"Sister-in-law...the doctor said...Captain Sheng...he's dying..."
"No--!!"
As if struck by lightning, Sheng's wife swayed violently and let out an extremely shrill scream!
Seeing this, Lao Wu quickly added, while angrily pointing at Xu Kuo.
"Sister-in-law! It's all his fault! It's this guy! He's in cahoots with the thugs who harmed Captain Sheng! Captain Sheng was ruined because of him..."
He had to let his sister-in-law know who the culprit was!
"What?!"
Following the direction of his finger, Sheng's wife and Xiao Li saw Xu Kuo standing to the side, looking somewhat at a loss.
In that instant, despair, anger, resentment... all sorts of emotions erupted in my heart!
"It was you?! You're the one who ruined my husband?!"
Sheng's wife suddenly shook off Lao Wu, furious, and was about to pounce on Xu Kuo!
"Mom!" Xiaoli screamed in fright and clung tightly to her mother.
Overwhelmed by shock and excitement, Sheng's wife's vision went black, and her body went limp as she collapsed to the ground!
"sister in law!"
"mom!"
The surrounding police officers rushed over and helped the swaying mother and daughter.
The scene immediately descended into chaos, with cries, shouts of comfort, and curses mingling together, creating an atmosphere of despair.
Xu Kuo's heart tightened as he looked at the scene before him.
It's impossible to explain now... There's no point in saying anything...
He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Just then, the door to the emergency room was pushed open again.
The remaining doctors and nurses all came out looking exhausted and sad, and silently shook their heads.
This action was like the last straw that broke the camel's back!
No! We absolutely cannot give up!
A resolute look flashed in Xu Kuo's eyes!
Since they can't save it, let him do it!
He gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on the Sheng family mother and daughter, suddenly accelerated, bypassed the crowd, and rushed directly into the half-open emergency room door!
"What is he doing?!"
"Stop him! He's going in to destroy the evidence!"
"You beast! He's trying to harm Captain Sheng!"
Before everyone could react, Xu Kuo had already slipped into the emergency room and locked the heavy, specially made door from the inside with a "click"!
"Grass!"
"Open the door! You fucking open the door!"
The police officers who caught up with the officers at the door were furious when they saw the tightly closed gate!
The door to this emergency room is specially designed for sound insulation and sterility; it is exceptionally thick and heavy, and cannot be opened by simply ramming it without a key or special tools!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The angry police officers pounded and kicked the door with their fists and feet, making dull thuds.
"You bastard! Get out here right now!"
"If you dare to lay a finger on Captain Sheng, I'll tear you to pieces!"
Outside the door came deafening curses and pounding, along with the heart-wrenching cries and pleas of the Sheng family mother and daughter.
"Please! Open the door! Let me in to see him!"
"Please don't hurt my dad! Please!"
