Chapter 172 The whole world collapses at this moment
Lu Chen had no interest in the couple's quarrel and turned around to go out to look for Xu Nuo.
At this moment, Zhang Man suddenly called out to him: "Brother!"
Her voice was hoarse and a little anxious.
Lu Chen paused and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Man wiped her tears and choked up: "Go to the hospital to find your sister-in-law, she...she's in trouble."
When Lu Chen heard this, his expression changed instantly. He quickly walked to Zhang Man and said in a low voice: "What's going on? What happened to Nuonuo?"
Zhang Man sobbed and spoke intermittently: "She...she was stabbed with a knife, and blood was all over the floor. She is now in the hospital..."
Her voice became lower and lower, smaller and smaller, and she felt more and more guilty...
Lu Chen's head buzzed as if it had been struck by lightning, and everything went blank in an instant.
He didn't bother to ask more questions, and only asked anxiously: "Which hospital? Where did it happen?"
Zhang Man tried to calm down, her voice trembling: "It should be... the affiliated hospital of the Medical University, it happened near the school..."
Before she could finish her words, Lu Chen rushed out like a gust of wind.
His steps were hurried and disorderly, and there was a rare panic and fear in his eyes, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.
Lu Huaizheng's heart tightened and he hurried out the door, wanting to give him some advice.
But when he rushed to the door, Lu Chen's figure had already disappeared in the vast night, leaving only the cold wind blowing the snowflakes flying in the air.
Lu Huaizheng stood at the door, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of worry.
He murmured in a low voice: "When has this child ever been so impatient and impulsive...?"
The night is dark and the wind is bitingly cold.
Lu Chen's figure was running quickly in the snow, his heart was beating like a drum, and Zhang Man's words kept echoing in his mind - "She was stabbed with a knife, and her blood was all over the ground..."
His fingers were clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of anxiety and fear, as if every second of delay would cause him to lose the most important person.
When Lu Chen rushed to the guard company, the Army Chief's guard Xiao Chen had already started the car and was standing beside it waiting for him.
Seeing Lu Chen running over in a hurry, Xiao Chen hurried over to him. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Chen waved his hand to interrupt him: "Get out of the car, I'll drive myself."
His voice was cold and hard, with an unquestionable determination in his tone.
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Lu Chen had already opened the car door, pulled him out, and sat in the driver's seat.
The car engine roared, and he stepped on the accelerator too hard, causing the wheels to spin and skid on the spot and refuse to move forward.
"Captain Lu, you have to step on the gas slowly. The roads are slippery on a snowy day, and the car will slip if you do this..."
Lu Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and lightly stepped on the accelerator.
The car started moving, he slightly increased the speed, and rushed forward.
Xiao Chen stood there, watching the car disappear into the night, feeling a little at a loss.
He scratched his head, and hurried back to call the Lu family and report the situation to Lu Huaizheng: "Commander, Commander Lu drove away by himself and chased me away..."
There was a hint of helplessness and trepidation in his tone, fearing that he would be reprimanded by the Army Chief.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Huaizheng was silent for a moment, then sighed: "It's okay, go and have a rest, don't worry about him, let him go by himself."
"Yes, Chief."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Huaizheng turned around and his eyes fell on Zhang Man.
There were still traces of tears on her face and she looked a little dazed, obviously she had not yet recovered from the emotion just now.
Lu Huaizheng frowned and said in a serious tone: "Zhang Man, didn't you go back to your mother's house? Why did you appear at the place where Xu Nuo was training? What happened?"
When Zhang Man heard the question, tears welled up in her eyes again.
She sobbed and told the story in a halting manner.
When she talked about Xu Nuo's injury, her voice choked with sobs, her tone full of self-blame and guilt: "Xu Nuo...she was stabbed because she wanted to save me. She was so brave. She could have run away, but she insisted on standing in front of me..."
In fact, Zhang Man was being monitored by Scarface's companion at that time.
Until I heard that someone had been killed.
He thought Scarface had killed someone, so he got scared and left her behind and ran away.
In fact, she was also confused at that time.
Who killed whom?
Who is the dead one?
According to common sense, it should be Scarface who killed Xu Nuo. After all, Scarface took revenge on Xu Nuo because his brother was in prison.
If Lu Chen hadn't called the police, his two brothers probably wouldn't have been arrested so quickly.
Xu Nuo is a woman, she is weak and small, so she will definitely be the one who gets beaten.
However, Zhang Man was unwilling to give up until she saw the results.
As she hurried back, she heard passers-by talking about someone who had been stabbed and was covered in blood, with bloodstains all over the ground.
The person has been sent to the hospital, and his life or death is unknown.
She thought the man was Xu Nuo, and she was panicked and scared. She even ran to the scene to take a look. Sure enough, the ground was covered with blood, which was shocking.
She also heard people say that the woman's clothes were covered in blood...which made her even more certain that it was Xu Nuo.
At that moment, she was so scared that she squatted in the snow and cried for a long time before walking back.
On the bus, she thought for a long time about how to tell her family about this when she got home.
So, in response to Lu Huaizheng's question, this answer was derived.
In fact, she knew better than anyone what she had done.
After listening to Zhang Man's explanation, Lu Huaizheng felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, and even breathing became difficult.
Cheng Wanying had already sobbed, tears rolling down like beads from a broken string. Her fingers tightly grasped Lu Huaizheng's sleeves, her voice trembling and anxious: "Huaizheng, we have to go to the hospital, now! I can't let Nuonuo get into trouble. She's such a good person, how can she die because of something like this..."
She loved promising this child so much.
This daughter-in-law is not only beautiful and gentle, but also smart and capable. More importantly, Lu Chen has true feelings for her.
She couldn't accept that such a good person would be in danger or even lose his life because of the second brother's family.
Lu Huaizheng felt sad when he saw his wife crying so sadly.
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his chest, gently patted the back of Cheng Wanying's hand, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Wanying, don't cry yet, things haven't reached the worst. Young people have strong vitality and won't die so easily. Let's stay calm and wait for news from Lu Chen.
Going there now will only cause more trouble. Wait until he figures out the situation and calls back, and then we can go to the hospital to see her together, okay?"
Cheng Wanying raised her head and looked at him with tearful eyes. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded: "Okay."
