Chapter 68 Thrilling Rescue
Qi Xu was extremely anxious and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"No, I won't leave. I want to find my mom. Even if she's a vegetable, she's still my mom. I want to save her!"
Lin Youqian forcibly grabbed her and gave a serious order.
"Qiqi, listen! You are the most important thing now. Only when you are safe can I go all out to save Mom. Got it?"
"And there's more than one vegetative patient like Mom in this hospital. As a soldier, I won't sit idly by. Now, you must cooperate with me and not hinder me. Do you understand?"
Qi Xu knew that Lin Youqian didn't want her to take risks, but whether it was her professionalism as a doctor or her filial piety as a child, she couldn't stay out of it.
"Youqian, I'm a doctor. Mom is a patient now. You don't know how to operate some medical equipment or perform first aid measures, so I have to come with you. Don't worry, I won't hold you back. If you run into danger, I will evacuate with you in time."
Lin Youqian firmly refused. "No!"
The horrific environment in that secret room was so terrifying that even a living person like him felt suffocated. How could he let her take the risk?
"Yuqian, please!"
During the argument, Lu Shiyu, dressed in black and wearing a black mask, walked out from the shadows.
"Qiqi, come with me. Your mother and my people have been rescued. Go and see them."
Qi Xu burst into tears of joy. "Really? Third brother?"
Lu Shiyu answered firmly. "Yes, you and Haozi go out first. I'll go rescue Uncle Lame. The one who just took you to the secret room."
Lu Shiyu winked at Lin Youqian, who immediately understood.
"Qiqi, your third brother is right. Go take care of your mother first, and he and I will go with you to save the other patients."
Haozi was the man Qi Xu had met in the corridor before. He had changed into a new set of blue sportswear and nodded at Qi Xu.
Like Haozi, the delivery guy also dressed up again. He took off his yellow kangaroo suit and transformed into a handsome young man.
He greeted Qi Xu in a frivolous manner. "Dear, come on, I'll take you to the movies!"
Just as Lin Youqian was about to throw a punch, Lu Shiyu held it down.
"Calm down! The most urgent thing now is to save people."
"Qiqi has been targeted. Someone must protect her closely. That guy is quite skilled."
Lin Youqian watched helplessly as Qi Xu was led away by a yellow-haired boy, but he did not dare to get angry.
Lu Shiyu raised his eyebrows and asked him with a smile, "Are the police officers below your men?"
Lin Youqian didn't expect that Lu Laosan was so smart and could guess this relationship.
"right!"
Lu Shiyu patted his shoulder in a familiar manner and gave him a perfect suggestion.
"Your people are in the White Road. Without sufficient reason, they can't come up to this level for search. I can let my people create chaos and provide them with an opportunity. But you have to ensure that my people escape unscathed."
"Colonel Lin, for Qiqi's sake, would you consider cooperating?"
It has to be said that Lu Shiyu is an extremely intelligent person. He has a keen mind for grasping the current situation and manipulating the chess game.
Lin Youqian's opinion of him has been elevated to a higher level.
"Thank you, Third Master Lu. I'll take note of your assistance today. Afterwards, no one will ever know that Third Master has been to South City."
Originally, Lu Shiyu could have stayed out of this mess. But for Qiqi, he risked exposing his identity and came to her rescue in person. He was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, so Lin Youqian naturally had to clean up the mess for him.
"Today, my original intention was not to save you, but Qiqi. Master Lin, if you betray her in the future, I will never sit idly by."
Lu Shiyu's cynical smile was full of jealousy and provocation.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he made a defiant gesture, and immediately deafening gunshots were heard in the corridor.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The continuous, piercing sound of gunfire fell like raindrops, sending shivers down one's spine. For a moment, the once quiet and peaceful hospital was plunged into extreme panic.
"Ah! Help!"
"Murder!"
All of a sudden, the entire building, all the patients, doctors, and family members fled in panic. Screams, shouts, and cries for help mixed with the crackling sounds of gunfire, and the hospital was in complete chaos.
Policemen were already rushing up into the corridor.
Lu Shiyu's ruffian claws restlessly hooked onto Lin Youqian's shoulders, and he secretly touched his chest twice.
"Brother, I'll leave it to you from now on. I'll leave this old lame to you."
Before Lu Shiyu disappeared, she threw him a coquettish glance.
"Your mother's body is really hard. Be gentle with Qiqi in the future."
After the police captain rushed up with the police officers, he secretly nodded to Lin Youqian as a greeting.
"Everyone, gather in the lobby. The police will escort you to safety. Hurry, hurry! In three minutes, we will fully seal off the entire floor."
Lin Youqian showed his ID and spoke.
"Wait. I'm a soldier. I have relatives in the intensive care unit. I understand the situation here. All medical staff, do not leave. You must follow us to treat the injured and sick. Other patients and their families, please evacuate immediately."
The police captain followed up on Lin Youqian's words and gave new orders.
"All doctors and nurses, stay here. Now, follow me and save people."
The doctors and nurses were all frightened by the gunshots and protested.
"Why aren't we medical staff allowed to evacuate? The terrorists inside have guns, and we are just ordinary people without weapons. What can we use to fight them?"
The police captain shouted.
"Shut up! You are doctors, and you should possess noble professional ethics. When it comes to saving lives and healing the wounded, you should be like soldiers and police officers, fearless of difficulties, and bravely rush to the front. Now, without my order, no one is allowed to leave without permission. Otherwise, you will be treated as disobeying police orders."
Less than three minutes later, while patients and their families in the general wards were still being evacuated, a secret room deep in the hallway was enveloped in thick smoke and a sudden burst of flames. The flames, like a surging tide, spread recklessly through the corridor, accompanied by billowing smoke. The scorching air, mixed with the acrid smell of burning, was overwhelming, suffocating.
The alarms sounded sharp and piercing, and the earth-shaking shouts were intertwined. The entire hospital instantly fell into extreme chaos and terror.
The police captain fired warning shots but was unable to control the chaotic situation.
Lin Youqian grabbed a doctor and ordered her, "Follow me to save people!"
The unfortunate female doctor fought back fiercely. "Please, let me go and find someone else!"
Lin Youqian didn't have time to waste on her and pointed the gun at her head. "Stop talking nonsense, or I'll kill you right now."
