Su Xiangbei arrived at the gate of the dilapidated temple and looked out. He saw Su Xiangnan with a cloth bag on his lap.
He licked his lips and said to Su Dahai, "See? Su Xiangnan's pension is on his leg. Shout it out and have him throw it over, then we'll release him."
Su Dahai steeled his resolve and shouted towards the door.
He and Su Xiangbei are now in the same boat; neither can retreat nor advance, and at worst, they'll both perish.
He's already this old; he has no way out.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiangnan actually listened to him and threw the cloth bag in his hand over.
The cloth bag containing the money landed less than two meters away from him. Without thinking, Su Dahai pushed his wheelchair out to pick up the money.
With the money bag within arm's reach, Su Dahai's face was filled with greed, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
He could almost see that big bag of money already his.
However, in the next instant, more than a dozen police officers suddenly appeared.
Su Dahai was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that he fell off his wheelchair.
He clung tightly to the bag of money, crawling forward while repeatedly shouting, "This money is mine! This money is mine!"
Two police officers pinned Su Dahai down on either side, handcuffed his hands behind his back, and shouted sternly, "Behave yourself!"
Su Xiangbei, who was observing the situation from behind, turned pale the moment he saw that something was wrong.
He pulled a short knife from his pocket, but froze on the spot the moment he turned around.
Seeing Meng Shuyun suddenly appear, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Get out of the way! Don't think that just because you're my mother I won't dare to touch you!"
"Really? I'm standing right here. If you want to get past me, you'll have to get past me first!"
Meng Shuyun's eyes were filled with determination as she looked at her eldest son, her gaze revealing deep sorrow and disappointment.
"Su Xiangbei, turn back before it's too late! You may have escaped today by luck, but can you escape tomorrow by luck as well?"
Turning yourself in is your best option right now, and the police will likely give you a break.
What exactly did that man from Beijing say to you?
If you tell me the truth, I will definitely speak to the police on your behalf.
Su Xiangbei raised the knife in his hand, his eyes almost overflowing with killing intent, the tip of the blade pointed at Meng Shuyun's brow, "This is your real purpose, isn't it? I'll count to three, and if you don't move aside, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Gu Xue woke up at some point. She stood up and saw Meng Shuyun being threatened. Without thinking, she rushed towards Su Xiangbei.
"You're not allowed to bully Grandma!"
Gu Xue roared and rammed into Su Xiangbei, knocking him off his feet.
Gu Xue also fell headfirst due to inertia, her forehead hitting the stone block hard, instantly spreading into a blotch of bright red blood, like a blooming flower.
Startled, Meng Shuyun quickly stepped forward to protect Gu Xue.
Su Xiangbei has a knife in his hand!
This completely enraged Su Xiangbei. Before he could react, Meng Shuyun kicked the dagger out of his hand.
Su Xiangbei scrambled to his feet and pulled a short knife from his pants pocket.
He looked at Meng Shuyun with a cold smile, "Do you think I only have a knife?" After saying that, he stabbed at Meng Shuyun.
Meng Shuyun saw Su Xiangbei strike with his knife clearly. She could have easily dodged it, but behind her was the unconscious Gu Xue, and she couldn't dodge.
Meng Shuyun's heart was in her throat. Without thinking, she grabbed the knife that Su Xiangbei was thrusting at her with both hands.
In just one minute, that breathtaking scene unfolded.
At this moment, Su Xiangnan pushed his wheelchair to the door, but was blocked by the threshold and could not get in.
Police officers rushed in with guns drawn...
With lightning speed, Su Xiangnan snatched the gun from the policeman, gripped it tightly with both hands, and pointed the dark muzzle directly at Su Xiangbei's head.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was low and filled with anger as he roared, enunciating each word clearly: "Where's Gu Xue? Release her!"
Seeing this, Su Xiangbei remained calm and deftly drew his short knife.
A sharp blade was pressed against Meng Shuyun's neck. His face was contorted with rage as he roared, "Get back! If you take another step forward, I'll slit your throat!"
Meng Shuyun's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
His hands hung limply at his sides, blood dripping continuously from between his fingers, staining the ground with a dark red pool of blood.
"Don't worry about me! Su Xiangnan, shoot! Kill him!" Meng Shuyun shouted with all her might, her voice filled with determination and resolve.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangbei suddenly increased the force in his hand, and a thin bloodstain instantly appeared on Meng Shuyun's neck, with blood slowly seeping out.
"Shut up!" Su Xiangbei said fiercely.
His eyes were bloodshot, like a maddened beast, as he stared intently at Su Xiangnan and the police, shouting, "Get me a car, I want to leave here! If you don't do as I say, you'll never see Gu Xue again!"
"Gu Xue is fine, she just fainted on the side, and you couldn't see her because she was blocked from view!"
Meng Shuyun shouted anxiously, "Su Xiangnan, what are you hesitating for? Shoot! Kill him and it will be the end of it!"
"I told you to shut up!" Su Xiangbei roared in fury, raising the blade in his hand and stabbing it hard into Meng Shuyun's shoulder.
Just as he drew his knife, Su Xiangnan seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
With a loud bang, Su Xiangbei's wrist was hit by a bullet, the bone shattered instantly, and the short knife clattered to the ground.
He clutched his injured wrist and collapsed to the ground in pain.
Meng Shuyun's ears were ringing from the gunshot, and she felt dizzy.
In a daze, I saw Su Xiangnan at the door throw the gun back into the policeman's arms, grit his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and struggle to push his wheelchair over the threshold.
Despite the excruciating pain in her shoulders and hands, Meng Shuyun went behind Su Xiangnan, gripped the wheelchair handles tightly with both hands, and used her last bit of strength to push the wheelchair forward.
"I owe Gu Xue, and I will keep my word."
Meng Shuyun said breathlessly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she used up all her strength and collapsed to the ground, then fainted.
