Chapter 87
Firefighters have started to put out the fire with fire hoses. Fortunately, the wind has died down and the fire has not spread to the sides. It has been gradually brought under control.
The students in Class 2 were still in shock, and when they learned that Qi Ying was trapped inside, everyone was panicked and terrified. Several students who were related to Qi Ying were already crying, and were stopped by the police from leaving.
Even Ji Rang was dragged back by two firefighters and handed over to the police who came running over and shouted, "This kid is desperate, keep an eye on him!"
Then he said to Ji Rang with a serious face: "Trust us, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will rescue the people inside."
But in fact, everyone knows that with such a big fire, if there are really people inside, there is no chance of survival.
The boy no longer struggled.
There was no light in his eyes at all, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. His whole body was filled with the dead air of despair, and it was nothing more than a state of total despair.
Two policemen supported him, one on each side, and walked towards the police car, taking him to rest.
There were already many police cars parked on the street with silent and flashing sirens. Logically, a fire shouldn't have caused so many calls. When passing a commercial police car, two plainclothes police officers were stuffing a bloody and handcuffed man into the car.
One of them held up the intercom and said, "Captain Chen, we've caught the last person. Have you found Captain Han?"
A group of people who looked miserable were already in the police car. The man in handcuffs was unconscious and was still struggling: "Why did you arrest me? I want to make a phone call. I want to call a lawyer!"
The policeman behind him kicked him hard and said, "Behave yourself! You kidnapped the little girl and wanted to silence her. Even a lawyer can't save you!"
Ji Rang suddenly stopped.
The two policemen who were watching him thought he was going crazy again, and they grabbed him nervously, but the boy looked at the man in handcuffs and asked in a hoarse voice: "Have I seen you before?"
Feng Xiao looked at Ji Rang for a long time with a dazed look in his eyes, and suddenly he chuckled: "It's you, the young master of the Ji family... Hehe, your girlfriend tastes really good, but it's a pity that she was burned to death."
Ji Rang's eyes instantly became bloodshot and he pounced forward like a wild beast.
Several policemen were caught off guard, and Feng Xiao was pressed into the trunk of the police car by Ji Rang who suddenly went crazy. The young man strangled his neck with both hands, almost breaking it.
Feng Xiao was pinched so hard that his eyes rolled back and his face quickly turned blue and black.
Several policemen dragged, tugged, and yelled at him, holding his limbs and forcibly pulling him off Feng Xiao.
But the boy had lost his mind.
There was only one thought in my mind.
Kill him.
Several people couldn't hold him down, so they had to pin him to the ground like a criminal, handcuffing his hands behind his back. A police officer yelled to the side: "Go call a doctor to inject a sedative!"
At the same time, an excited voice came from the plainclothes intercom: "We found Captain Han!"
The two plainclothes officers looked at each other, one stayed to watch Ji Rang, and the other quickly rushed over with the walkie-talkie.
At the entrance of the alley that was burned into ruins, a disheveled middle-aged man staggered out holding a little girl covered in blood.
Plainclothes police officers quickly rushed over and took the girl from his arms, "Captain Han! Are you okay, Captain Han? Don't worry, we've caught them!"
The doctor ran over here carrying a stretcher.
The little girl in his arms closed her eyes, barely breathing, but suddenly she seemed to hear something, struggled to open her eyes, and looked towards the flashing sirens.
The plainclothes police officer felt his clothes being tugged at. He lowered his head and heard the little girl say in a weak voice, "I want to go over there."
He comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon."
The girl was stubborn and determined: "I want to go over there. I want to go there." Although her consciousness was already blurry, she clearly understood that she had to go over there and be with the desperate and struggling boy.
The plainclothes officer glanced at something not far away and realized something. He strode over with the little girl in his arms and gently put her down.
Qi Ying half-knelt down and reached out to touch the boy's head.
Ji Rang suddenly stopped.
He raised his head with difficulty.
She saw the little girl in front of her with blood all over her face smiling at her obediently.
"I'm fine." She said softly, "Don't be sad."
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes.
He struggled to get up and hug her, but when his arm was about to touch her, he was afraid that she would feel pain, so he hastily retracted it, gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Does it hurt?"
She smiled softly: "It doesn't hurt, don't cry."
The doctor had already rushed over with a stretcher. Qi Ying's consciousness, which had been struggling to hold on, finally gave way. Everything went dark before his eyes, and he fell forward.
Ji Rang's eyes were filled with fear and he hugged her. The doctor put the stretcher on the ground and several people quickly lifted the unconscious Qi Ying onto it and rushed to the ambulance.
…
For three consecutive days, Haicheng News Station reported that a fire broke out in a KTV on Entertainment Street due to a short circuit in the electrical wires, and the fire then spread due to inadequate fire-fighting facilities.
Fortunately, the fire did not cause any deaths. However, a narcotics police officer was beaten by criminals who were gathering to take drugs while undercover to investigate clues. Fortunately, he escaped in the end and rescued a high school student who was trapped in the toilet.
In order to protect the privacy of the victim, Qi Ying's situation was not disclosed to the media.
No outsider knew what she went through in the box.
The undercover anti-drug police officer is called Han Yang. He has been tracking down Feng Xiao and his group of rich kids who are taking drugs together for some time. This group of people has too many dens and is as slippery as loaches. And there is a huge and mature drug supply chain behind them. Han Yang has been keeping an eye on this case for a long time.
This time, after receiving the information from the informant, he immediately issued a mission. In fact, colleagues from the anti-drug brigade had already surrounded the bar. He disguised himself as a waiter, put on a monitoring device, went in to investigate the situation, and was ready to catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Finally I saw Qi Ying.
The little girl was seriously injured, and he couldn't wait for his colleagues to come in to help, so he had to rescue her first.
Fortunately, colleagues restored the situation on the scene through the audio of the conversation transmitted by the monitoring device, and immediately went out to arrest people. They arrested all the criminals who wanted to take advantage of the fire to kill people and silence them.
There were both witnesses and evidence. In addition to the charge of gathering to take drugs, there were also charges of attempted rape and attempted murder. When Feng Xiao completely sobered up, a ruthless legal trial was waiting for him.
After Han Yang recovered from his injury, he went to the hospital to see Qi Ying several times.
But the little girl didn't wake up.
She was in a coma due to the concussion, and even the doctors couldn't tell when she would wake up.
Han Yang heard from her classmate Hai Yi who came to visit her that the girl had just taken the college entrance examination and did very well. She was a potential for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and a beautiful and bright university life should have been waiting for her.
He also saw the tall and thin boy standing guard outside the ward day and night.
When my colleagues talked about this boy named Ji Rang, they couldn't help but gasp: "He was really crazy, he didn't even care about his life. But when that little girl appeared, he immediately regained his sanity. Oh, it really made me sad."
The boy's eyes were dark and his beard was untidy. He looked haggard and lifeless. It was no exaggeration to describe him as a walking corpse.
Han Yang thought for a moment, sat down beside him, and whispered to comfort him: "Child, don't torture yourself like this. Don't wait for her to wake up before you fall down. Go home and rest for a while, have a good sleep, eat something, maybe when you come back after a good rest, she will wake up."
Ji Rang ignored everyone during this period of time, as if he had closed all his five senses. He could not hear any sound and could not feel anything.
His only consolation was that the ECG monitor next to his bed was still fluctuating.
His little girl is still alive.
Just be alive.
If she could wake up, he would give everything. If she couldn't wake up, that didn't matter, he would just stay with her for the rest of his life.
But he heard what Han Yang said.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the worried police officer beside him. After a long while, his dry throat finally uttered a few hoarse syllables: "Thank you for saving her."
Han Yang smiled and touched his messy hair kindly: "This is what we should do. Don't be sad, kid, we will do our best to catch all the bad guys in this society and give you a safe and beautiful environment to grow up. Believe me, uncle, the little girl will wake up, and she will go to college with you. Go home and have a rest, take a shower, sleep, change clothes, and wait for her to wake up, so that she can see a clean and handsome boy, okay?"
Ji Rang looked at Han Yang beside him, and suddenly remembered the black and white photo on Qi's father's tombstone, showing the man in police uniform with a determined look.
The evil and wickedness in this world will never disappear completely, but there will always be a group of people who rush to the front and try their best to keep the darkness in front of them, leaving only light and warmth for them.
Ji Rang nodded and said, "Okay."
He took a taxi back home.
The house hadn't had a window opened for a long time, and there was a damp and musty smell. He went to open all the windows to let the light in, then took a shower, shaved, and cleaned himself up according to Han Yang's instructions.
But he still couldn't sleep or eat.
He was worried that the little girl would wake up suddenly and would be scared if she didn't see him at first sight.
He had to go back to the hospital, and he had to go back immediately.
He pulled out a schoolbag, casually stuffed two sets of clothes into it, threw it over his shoulder and was about to leave.
When the schoolbag swept across the bedside table, it knocked the glass bottle filled with little stars on it to the ground. With a bang, the glass bottle broke into pieces, and 999 little stars rolled all over the floor.
Ji Rang was both angry and anxious. He knelt on the ground to pick up the little stars like a child who had done something wrong.
The broken glass cut his palm and he didn't care even though the blood was dripping all over the floor.
He stepped on a few small stars and flattened them. When he picked them up and pinched them with his fingers to restore them, he suddenly found that there seemed to be words on the small piece of paper used to fold the stars.
Ji Rang was stunned.
He knelt on the ground, hesitated, and took apart the little star.
There were words on the small piece of paper, in a familiar handwriting, neat and beautiful:
——After opening the little star, Ji Rang wanted to eat a piece of chocolate cake.
His fingers were shaking like crazy, and he opened another one:
——After opening this little star, Ji Rang wants to have a good sleep.
——Ji Rang, who opened the little star, asked for a glass of milk.
——Ji Rang, who opened this little star, should smile more.
——Ji Rang, who opened the little star, wanted to kiss Yingying's eyes.
——After opening the little star, Ji Rang wanted to give Yingying a strawberry candy.
…
He was reluctant to tear it down.
Holding these little pieces of paper, I covered my face, lowered my head, and cried silently.
It turned out that his baby gave him nine hundred and ninety-nine wishes.
He had to listen to her.
Ji Rang stood up, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, put on some medicine and a Band-Aid, and then lay down on the bed.
He wanted to listen to her and have a good sleep.
He was so tired that after he lay down on the bed, his breathing quickly calmed down and he slept until late in the evening.
Outside the window are rolling sunset clouds.
He got up from the bed, went to the kitchen to heat a cup of milk, then carried his schoolbag downstairs to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, it was Yu Cheng who was guarding his bedside.
Seeing him come in, she smiled tiredly: "Are you here? The nurse said you went home to rest, why don't you rest a little more."
Ji Rang shook his head and walked closer in silence.
Yu Cheng stood up and took the water cup: "I'll go get some hot water and buy you some dinner. What do you want to eat?"
Ji Rang said, "Chocolate cake."
Yu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said okay.
The ward was quiet and cool.
The little girl on the bed was breathing steadily and looked like she was asleep.
Ji Rang leaned over, gently kissed her closed eyes with his cracked lips, then took out a strawberry candy from his pocket and placed it in her palm.
He whispered, "Yingying, here's some candy for you."
