The two brothers stood quietly, exchanging a silent glance, neither of them speaking first.
After a while, Xiao Weiguo slowly turned his head, looked at Xiao Mengjie, and asked softly.
"Mengjie, you're going to the provincial capital. Is it really okay for your mother to be left alone at home?"
Speaking of Xiaotun, it was originally home to Xiao Jian, Hu Zi, and Xiao Mengjie and her daughter, a total of four people.
But now Tiger is seriously injured and his life is in danger; his fate is still unknown.
Therefore, Xiao Jian's decision to take care of him was out of necessity.
If Xiao Mengjie leaves now, Gu Meiying will be all alone at home.
Xiao Mengjie gently shook her head, then slowly raised her beautiful big eyes and looked at Xiao Weiguo.
"Brother, don't worry! My mother is much better now, and she can live on her own without any problems."
On ordinary days, she not only takes good care of herself, but she can even help with the meals and daily life of all of us.
After saying this, Xiao Mengjie's gaze fell on the two brothers. Her mother's success today was inseparable from the help of the Xiao brothers.
Xiao Weiguo still seemed a little uneasy, so he turned his gaze to his younger brother Xiao Jian, who was standing to the side.
Xiao Jian nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Xiao Mengjie's words.
"Yes, brother! Auntie has indeed recovered quite well. Apart from talking a little less, she's basically no different from a normal, healthy person."
I think leaving her home alone should be fine.
After hearing these words, Xiao Weiguo finally felt relieved.
He breathed a sigh of relief and patted Xiao Jian and Xiao Mengjie on the shoulders.
"Since that's the case, then so be it. Having one more person means having one more person to look after things. You all hurry up and set off. I'll take care of things at home! As for Tiger, don't worry about the money! As long as we can save Tiger's life, we'll spare no expense!"
At this moment, time was extremely tight, and there was no time for any pleasantries.
Just then, Liu Ye's driver arrived in time. Xiao Jian eagerly opened the car door and urged the other two to get in quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had already climbed into Xiao Jian's spacious and comfortable business vehicle.
Immediately afterwards, the roar of an engine was heard, and the car sped off like an arrow, heading towards the provincial capital.
The wheels spun rapidly, kicking up clouds of dust, and roared away into the night, disappearing in an instant.
Xiao Weiguo and Liu Changhe, who remained where they were, stood quietly at the hospital entrance, their eyes following the departing van until it disappeared around the bend at the end of the road.
Although the vehicle had driven away, the deep worry in their hearts did not lessen in the slightest.
After all, Tiger's injuries were truly too severe.
If this injury does damage brain nerves, even if the patient survives, they will likely suffer from lifelong severe disability or become a vegetable.
After a long while, Liu Changhe sighed deeply, slowly walked forward, raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Weiguo's shoulder.
"Alright, Weiguo, we've done everything we can regarding Huzi's matter. But right now, there are still many injured and unfortunate victims to deal with. After dawn, the families of the injured and the deceased will probably arrive one after another. So, you need to think carefully about how to handle this situation."
According to preliminary statistics, in addition to the elderly man in the guardhouse and a young security guard, there are a total of fourteen middle-aged and young cadres staying in this apartment.
Out of curiosity, these people rashly opened their dormitory doors and came out to see what was happening outside.
Who could have predicted that at this moment, that group of vicious thugs would open fire without any mercy!
Among those who were shot, four people died on the spot because they were too close to the assailants and were shot in vulnerable areas of their bodies.
The remaining ten people, though they were lucky enough to survive, each suffered some kind of gunshot wound, some minor and some serious.
This group of ruthless thugs moved with lightning speed and swiftness.
In the midst of that fierce conflict, apart from the guy Tiger managed to drag down as a scapegoat, all the other thugs vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye!
It remains unclear how they managed to escape the scene so quickly.
However, one thing is certain: judging from their modus operandi and level of proficiency, they are definitely not inexperienced novices, but rather seasoned and ruthless habitual offenders!
There was an accountant from Panlong Textile Factory on site who was working late that day because she was very busy.
When he dragged his exhausted body back to the dormitory, before he could even lie down and rest for a moment, he was startled by a sudden burst of gunfire.
Instead of rushing out to check the situation rashly, the accountant carefully walked to the door and quietly peeked out through the narrow crack.
According to his later description, the scene that appeared before him terrified him: there were about twenty people in the group, each of them holding a short-barreled shotgun tightly in their hands, and they looked very dangerous.
They all wore black hoods, completely obscuring their faces, making it impossible to see their true appearance or approximate age.
The leader at the very front was an exceptionally tall man wearing a striking black leather jacket.
Unfortunately, because this person also covered their face with a mask, the accountant could not determine their exact appearance or age.
Extremely frightened, the junior accountant only glanced at the door briefly before slamming it shut and locking it securely.
He had no idea what happened after that.
At this moment, for Xiao Weiguo, the most pressing issue is not how to quickly solve the case and successfully capture those vicious criminals.
Instead, the priority should be to comfort the families of the injured and the deceased.
After all, these family members are currently immersed in immense grief and their emotions are extremely unstable. A slight misstep could trigger a series of unpredictable consequences.
Therefore, Xiao Weiguo was well aware of the heavy responsibility he bore and that he had to handle every step carefully to appease the emotions of these families and give them a satisfactory explanation as soon as possible.
"Uncle Liu, thank you!"
Xiao Weiguo knew that Liu Changhe's words were for his own good, so he thanked him and continued.
"I will immediately arrange for a dedicated team to be formed to handle the aftermath of this incident."
