People gathered around, asking, "Yeah, what are you doing? Where did this bomb come from? Are you kidding me?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a loud bang came from behind. It was clearly an explosion; anyone who wasn't deaf could hear it. Upon hearing the sound, Cheng Yingli immediately collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself, "Old Song—" before her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Jiang Qiao shoved Cheng Yingli into her daughter's arms, saying, "Watch your mother—"
The man took off running towards the back of the building, and the people in the courtyard followed him out. Although no one knew what was happening outside, the sound of the explosion was no lie, and everyone was worried about Song Zhi.
When Jiang Qiao and the others arrived, Song Zhi was standing by the lake, watching the dead fish floating up, and just grinning like an idiot.
"uncle--"
Song Zhigang was secretly relieved that Jiang Qiao had returned; otherwise, it wouldn't just have been their family that died, but possibly the entire building's residents.
Seeing Jiang Qiao running over like the wind, Song Zhi grinned and gave her a silly smile.
"Girl, I'm still alive—"
After saying that, he wanted to go over and hug Jiang Qiao, but unexpectedly, he fell to the ground as soon as he took a step.
"uncle--"
Jiang Qiao rushed over and hugged Song Zhi tightly. "What happened?"
Song Zhi gave a wry smile. "I guess his leg is broken—"
Jiang Qiao yelled at the people behind her, "Come and help!"
Just as everyone was about to carry Song Zhi to the hospital, Zhao Jian and the others arrived. How could they not hear such a commotion? Their workplace was very close to the apartment building where Song Zhi and the others lived.
"Chief, what's wrong?"
"It's probably a fracture, Uncle Zhao. Send someone to accompany him and take your bureau chief to the hospital first."
When Song Zhi saw his men arrive, he was no longer in a hurry to leave. His leg was already injured, and the most important thing now was to find out who planted the explosives.
He whispered something to Zhao Jian, "Director, don't worry, leave the rest to me. You guys hurry up and get the director to the hospital."
Zhao Jian is in charge of the rest. Jiang Qiao wants to go with Song Zhi, but she doesn't know how her third aunt is doing now.
"The child's father—"
This person just couldn't help but grumble. Jiang Qiao was just thinking about Cheng Yingli's situation when she stumbled over, supported by her child.
Seeing his wife's distraught state, Song Zhi felt a pang of sadness and his eyes welled up with tears. He thought to himself that when he was in the army, he couldn't take care of the family at all. His wife had to take care of the elderly and the young at home. Just when things were finally starting to settle down, this happened. He guessed that his wife must have been terrified. It was only because of Jiang Qiao that things turned out this way. Otherwise, not only their family, but probably everyone in the entire building would be doomed.
However, he couldn't say this to his wife, so he held his wife and child's hands and kept comforting them.
"I'm fine, my leg just hurts a little. I guess it's from falling off the building. Look, I'm perfectly fine. Don't cry, come with me to the hospital."
The group was in a chaotic state. Jiang Qiao wanted to go with them, but Song Zhi stopped her, saying, "Go home quickly. We can talk about it at the hospital later."
Song Zhi knew perfectly well why things had happened today. If Jiang Qiao were involved, things would become even more complicated. It would be better to go after him directly.
The people who carried Song Zhi left in a hurry, while the rest of the people stood by the artificial lake looking at the dead fish on the surface. They didn't have any ulterior motives; this place was managed by someone, and if they tried to fish them out, they would be making a mistake.
Everyone was talking about what had just happened, and they all felt that if Song Zhi hadn't reacted quickly, their entire families would probably be buried under the rubble right now.
The park management staff were there just now, and they're still a bit shaken. What if the bomb hadn't landed in the lake and had exploded on the way? They wouldn't have been able to escape either.
"Qiao'er—"
Jiang Qiao was walking back with the crowd when someone called her from afar. She looked up and couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Ning, what brings you here?"
Ning Hao pulled Jiang Qiao up and down, looking her over. "Are you alright?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "Do I look like someone who has something to do? What are you doing here?"
Ning Hao sighed, "What a commotion! The county town is so small. I happened to be nearby running some errands, but I didn't hear anything about it. What exactly happened?"
In front of Ning Hao, Jiang Qiao couldn't hide it too much, but she just attributed the person she met to Song Zhi.
"What? You mean someone who's completely covered up by a mask and hat?"
Jiang Qiao was taken aback by Ning Hao's reaction, but she still nodded.
Ning Hao's expression also turned serious. "Qiao'er, you go home first. You stay home and behave yourself. Don't go anywhere. I'm going to find someone. Wait for me to come back."
Ning Hao didn't say what he was going to do. Jiang Qiao stared blankly as Ning Hao ran away, then touched her head. What's wrong with this guy? Does he have a fever?
She didn't understand, and she was too lazy to think about it anymore. Actually, she did have a thought in her mind: perhaps Ning Hao had seen that person, but it was all just her guess. She would only know for sure when she saw the person.
Back at the residential compound, she found her car and went upstairs to check on Song Zhi's apartment, worried that the door might be unlocked. However, since the main gate was closed, she didn't think much of it and rode her bike back home.
Because the county town was small, when Jiang Qiao returned home, even the people in his courtyard had heard about it.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, Li Meilan immediately started gossiping, "You know what? I just heard that the apartment building where the police chief lives was bombed! Oh my god, who did this? How many people must have died? That's so despicable! What kind of grudge could they have to go after everyone on this floor..."
Jiang Qiao was puzzled. How could the power of gossip be so strong? In just a short while, even dead people had appeared.
With a helpless sigh, she said, "Who knows? I just heard about it. We'll know the details tomorrow. Auntie, I'm going back now, it's too cold."
Without Jiang Qiao, Li Meilan went to gossip with others, and then Song Lianfeng came over.
Jiang Qiao had been gone for so long that she didn't even know she was back. If her son hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known at all.
She hadn't seen the child in a long time, and she missed him, so she came to visit.
"Auntie, you've come at the perfect time. I've been in such a rush this time that I haven't had a chance to visit you. This is something I brought for you. It's not much, just a token of my appreciation."
Song Lianfeng was embarrassed. "You child, are you going to let me visit again? Why do you always bring us things as soon as you go out? Don't do this again. You don't even earn money yourself. Don't buy things anymore."
Jiang Qiao smiled and pulled Song Lianfeng to sit down. Song Lianfeng also liked to gossip, but she liked to tell Jiang Qiao that the girl was tight-lipped and would never tell anyone what she told her, which made her very confident.
