Su Tang took a deep breath and shouted towards the empty hall.
The voice echoed in the corridor, but received no response.
Just then, there was a slight thud from the second floor, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Lu Xiao immediately gripped the iron rod tightly and signaled Su Tang to be quiet.
The two slowed down their pace and walked cautiously to the second floor in the direction of the sound.
The handrail of the stairs was already rusted, and it was covered with reddish-brown rust when touched.
With every step, the staircase creaked and groaned, as if it would collapse at any time.
Just as I reached the corner of the second floor, a faint light suddenly shone through the crack of a ward door.
Su Tang's heart suddenly tightened, and he almost instinctively rushed towards the ward, with Lu Xiao following closely behind.
The door of the ward was ajar. Su Tang gently pushed it open, and the flashlight beam instantly shone into the room.
There was a small blue baby suit lying on the bed in the middle of the room.
That's what Cheng'an wore this morning.
There was a little milk stain on the clothes, and Su Tang recognized it at a glance.
"Cheng'an! Cheng'an!"
She rushed over to pick up the baby clothes and looked around anxiously, but there was no sign of the child.
"Doctor Su, don't be so anxious."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the shadows of the room.
Zhou Rui walked out slowly, playing with a sharp fruit knife in his hand.
The tip of the knife gleamed coldly in the flashlight.
There was a strange smile on his face and his eyes were full of madness.
"We finally met at our old place, how could you find the child so quickly?"
"Zhou Rui, what on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Xiao protected Su Tang behind him and stared at Zhou Rui with cold eyes.
"Come at me, don't hurt the child!"
"Coming for you?"
Zhou Rui sneered and pointed the tip of the knife at Lu Xiao.
"Lu Xiao, you destroyed everything I had. Now, I'm going to let you experience the feeling of losing the most precious thing!"
"I have never targeted you, Zhou Rui. It has always been you who has been targeting us."
As soon as Lu Xiao finished speaking, he saw Zhou Rui take out a book from his arms.
Looking at the familiar cover, Su Tang's breathing stopped.
How come he has this book?
Zhou Rui's gaze fell on Su Tang with a complicated tone.
"Su Tang, I've never thought of hurting you. As long as you leave Lu Xiao, I will return Cheng'an to you."
"Zhou Rui, what are you going to do?"
Hearing Su Tang's words, Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Su Tang, you are not from this world, but because of you, many variables have appeared. Either you leave, or your son dies. You choose one."
He pointed to a small, tightly closed door on the inside of the ward.
"Cheng'an is in there, but he's sleeping very soundly now. If you don't agree to my terms, I can't guarantee that he won't wake up forever."
Su Tang's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she tightly grasped the baby clothes in her hands.
She knew that Zhou Rui had lost his mind and was capable of doing anything.
Lu Xiao quietly took out the signal device from his pocket and pressed the signal that he had agreed upon with his comrades who were lying in ambush outside.
Press the power button three times.
He stared at Zhou Rui and spoke slowly to delay time.
"Zhou Rui, calm down. You've already violated the law by kidnapping a child, and there's still time to turn back. As long as you release Cheng An, I can help you plead with the court for a lighter sentence."
"plead?"
Zhou Rui felt like he had heard a huge joke.
"I don't need your fake kindness. I'm at the end of my rope and have nowhere to turn back. However, I can still use someone as a scapegoat before I die."
As he spoke, he suddenly rushed towards the tightly closed door.
"I'll give you three minutes to think about it. If I don't see Su Tang coming over after three minutes, you'll have to wait and collect Cheng An's body."
Su Tang looked at Zhou Rui's back and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
She knew that Zhou Rui could do what he said, but she couldn't abandon Lu Xiao.
Just when she was in despair, Lu Xiao whispered quietly in her ear.
"Don't panic, my people have arrived and are surrounding this place. I will attract his attention later, and you can take the opportunity to rescue Cheng'an."
Su Tang looked at Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao winked at her and then suddenly pounced towards Zhou Rui.
"Zhou Rui, come at me if you dare!"
Zhou Rui didn't expect Lu Xiao to suddenly attack, so he hurriedly turned around and used a fruit knife to resist.
The two men started fighting each other immediately, and the tables and chairs in the room were knocked all over the place.
Su Tang took the opportunity to rush towards the small door and pulled it open with force.
The door was unlocked, and behind it was a small storage room filled with discarded medicine boxes.
Su Tang shone the flashlight around and soon saw Cheng'an's small figure behind a box.
He lay on a worn blanket, his eyes closed, his breathing even, and he seemed to be just asleep.
"Cheng'an!"
Su Tang carefully picked up his son and patted his cheek gently.
"Cheng'an, wake up, mom is here."
Cheng'an slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Su Tang, he was stunned for a moment, then he pouted in grievance and stretched out his little hands to hug Su Tang's neck.
"Mother……"
Hearing her son's soft voice, Su Tang's tears flowed even harder. She hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to rub him into her bones and blood.
"Mom is here, don't be afraid, Cheng'an. Mom is here to save you."
At this moment, a loud bang was heard outside, followed by Zhou Rui's scream.
Su Tang carried Cheng An out of the storage room and saw that Lu Xiao had already pressed Zhou Rui to the ground.
The fruit knife in Zhou Rui's hand fell to the side, his arm was held behind his back by Lu Xiao, and his face was full of pain and unwillingness.
The comrades who were lying in ambush outside also rushed in, quickly subdued Zhou Rui and put handcuffs on him.
Lu Xiao quickly walked to Su Tang, reached out and touched Cheng'an's forehead. After confirming that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the mother and son tightly in his arms.
"It's okay, everything is okay, let's go home."
Su Tang leaned in Lu Xiao's arms, feeling his warm body temperature and strong heartbeat. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air all night, finally settled down.
However, when Zhou Rui was taken away, Su Tang handed the child to Lu Xiao, stood up and walked over.
"Zhou Rui, you too..."
"I'm not. I picked up this book by chance. You are the same as what is described in the book."
Zhou Rui looked at Su Tang with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I would be the biggest winner."
The book says that Lu Xiao died while performing a mission because of him.
He avenged his great hatred and became the most famous businessman in Hong Kong.
It’s a pity that this ending has been ruined because of Su Tang’s arrival.
Both Su Xinyao and he have no future at all.
Zhou Rui was taken away. He looked up at the sky and snatched the gun from someone next to him before anyone could react.
A gunshot rang out and he fell to the ground.
Su Tang covered his mouth and watched the scene.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that Zhou Rui could survive even if he did nothing. It was him who didn't want to repeat such a day.
