Death (Part 2)
Ah Rou! Stop messing around! "At the other end of the corridor, Thyme came rushing over, followed by a group of people. She gave them orders, "Hurry up and stop your master. Find a way to knock her out!"
"Xiangxiang, why are you here?" Xu Rongxuan couldn't help but appear.
When Yue Lanxiu saw Thyme, the fear in his heart gradually grew. If she was here, the guy on the rockery... would suddenly be unable to aim the gun in his hand.
Thyme was also surprised to see him. Seeing the people around him showing hostility towards him, she immediately stopped them, "They are one of us. The first thing to do is to rescue Yue Lanhuan and knock out Zhao Rirou!"
Listening to her words, Xu Rongxuan was extremely confused and questioned her who was walking towards him quickly, "What's going on? So you kidnapped Xiu's mother! Is that Zhao Rirou up there? Why did she want to kill Xiu's mother?!"
"What are you talking about? We didn't kidnap our aunt! We are also curious about why she is here!" Thyme shouted anxiously. This kind of scene made her lose her composure for the first time.
"You don't know, and the person above doesn't know either? Can you explain the actions of the person above? I don't want to hurt you, but if you go too far, I will not show mercy!" Xu Rongxuan pulled the bolt, ready to shoot Chao Rirou at the critical moment.
Xu Rongxuan didn't look at Yue Lanxiu, but he knew that he was in great pain. One was the woman he loved, and the other was his mother. He didn't want anything to happen to them, but in this situation, he would definitely choose to save his mother, but it was difficult for him to attack the woman he loved, so let Xu Rongxuan do it instead!
His stern expression made Thyme sway. Ignoring the pain in her heart, she said forcefully, "I don't have time to explain too much to you, but there's one thing you must know. Ah Rou seems to have been controlled by someone, and something is very wrong. So if you shoot her in this situation, I will definitely not let you go!"
This was the first time Xu Rongxuan had seen such a ferocious Thyme.
He hesitated, not knowing what to do. If he shot and injured Asahirou, Thyme would definitely hate him to death! And from what she said, Asahirou was being manipulated?
If what she said was true, then it would be difficult for him to kill Asahiro! "So what should I do? Watch her shoot and kill innocent people?"
Was he being manipulated? Yue Lanxiu's lower lip had been bitten to the point of bleeding, but he didn't realize it. There was another place on his body that was bleeding, and there was another wound on his body that was a thousand times more painful than this one: his heart!
His heart ached immensely at this moment, for he had already made up his mind to shoot her. Although he wouldn't aim for her vital points, who could easily shoot the woman they loved? He would rather shoot himself ten times than shoot her once!
But this is the only way now!
"Ms. Chao Rirou, although I don't know why you want to kill me, I hope you will stop killing me and not hurt anyone else! If you are willing to agree to me, then I will voluntarily jump off this rockery. My death has nothing to do with you, and no one will hold you responsible!" Yue Lanhuan said kindly.
But at this moment, Asahirou couldn't hear what she was saying at all. The only thought in her mind was to shoot her.
At the same time that Chao Rirou pulled the bolt, Yue Lanjing also pulled the bolt. Chao Rirou aimed at Yue Lanhuan's heart, but Yue Lanxiu aimed at her hand!
Even though it was her hand that was shot, he was still heartbroken. He knew that if he fired this shot, her hand might be crippled!
Just as Yue Lanxiu was about to take a step forward and shoot Rirou, an unexpected gunshot rang out. Yue Lanhuan was shot and fell from the rockery with a scream.
"Mom!" Yue Lanxiu screamed in horror.
I don’t know if it was the sight of Yue Lanhuan’s clothes stained with blood that released her control over Chao Rirou, or if it was Yue Lanxiu’s heart-wrenching cry that stimulated her, and she woke up instantly.
I looked around in astonishment, not understanding why I was here so late at night?
I don't understand why Yue Lanxiu is here. He is running towards this side at a rapid speed, looking extremely anxious.
There was a noise under the rockery, and she went over to take a look. She didn't understand why Yue Lanhuan was here too. She fell into Ya'nan's arms, and a white camellia on her chest was dyed red with blood!
Suddenly thinking of the dream she had been having recently, she felt a headache. When she hugged her head, she realized that she was holding a gun in her hand. It was a loaded gun! She was so scared that she couldn't help but let go of the gun and it fell to the ground.
Did she shoot Yue Lanhuan? In her dreams, someone kept telling her to shoot... so she actually did it! She held her aching head, still confused as to what was going on! It was clearly a dream, how could it become reality!
"Go and see how the young master is doing..." Ya'nan's panicked voice came from under the rockery, reminding Chao Rirou to cheer up.
"I'm fine! How's Yue Lanhuan?" Her greatest strength is that no matter what environment she is in, she will figure out what to do next at the first moment!
"Young Master, you're awake!" Ya'nan's expression was as if a huge rock had been lifted off his shoulders. "Don't worry, Yue Lanhuan's life is not in danger. She was shot in the shoulder. I caught her when she fell, so she's not hurt!"
Ya'nan's words, "You're awake," left Chao Rirou even more confused! What did he mean? Did she kill someone in her sleep? Beads of sweat slid down her forehead, and this realization almost made her unable to stand.
She calmly picked up the gun on the ground and found that there was not a single bullet missing from the gun. So Yue Lanhuan's shot couldn't have been fired by her! Who could it be?
After she calmed down completely, she clearly felt that someone was staring at her.
His sharp eyes swept around.
Outside the wall, on a tall tree, a man probably noticed her gaze, quickly jumped down from the tree, and disappeared into the night.
"Take good care of Yue Lanhuan!" After saying this to Ya'nan, she chased after him outside.
Ya'nan's heart was entirely on Chao Rirou, and he didn't dare to let her be in danger again. He said the same words to his subordinates and chased after her.
"Mr. Yanan, your forehead is still bleeding!" Yanan's loyal subordinates shouted worriedly, but they couldn't abandon Yue Lanhuan.
"Leave her to me!" Yatang appeared at the right time, startling everyone. He looked like a ghost. "Go and check on her quickly. Mr. Ya'nan can't get hurt again!"
"Okay, everything here is up to you. Just hand Yue Lanhuan over to Doctor Baili!" As he was still speaking, he couldn't wait to chase after him.
Yue Lanxiu and Xu Rongxuan were still fighting. Yatang pretended to convey Ya'nan's instructions and arrested Yue Lanxiu and others.
Although this group of people were no match for Yue Lanxiu and his men, they still wasted a lot of time. By the time they arrived at the place where Yue Lanhuan fell, there was no sign of anyone.
"Where's the person?" Thyme panted. She arrived even later than Yue Lanxiu and the others. Although she had been running towards this place since Yue Lanhuan fell, she had no skills and could not take shortcuts, so she had to go in circles. "Why is there no one here?"
Asahiro chased the man into the woods, but did not find any trace of him. After thinking for a while, she decided that she should not act rashly, so as not to fall into a trap!
And she always felt that something was wrong with her and was afraid that she would do something out of control again, so she decided to go back and talk about it!
Deep in the woods, in an unknown place, Guan Shaoling sighed repeatedly, looking at the man sitting on the stone by the pool in a daze, and really didn't know what to say.
"It's you who wants to kill her, and it's also you who wants to save her. Now I want to ask you, what does it feel like to dismantle your own stage? Is it okay? Do you want to continue in the future?"
"Which eye of yours saw me saving her?" the man sitting on the rock denied. His expression was just like the rock, cold and hard without a trace of emotion.
"Hmm!" Smoke was coming out of Guan Shaoling's nostrils. "You only shot Yue Lanhuan. As for why you suddenly intervened, weren't you afraid that Yue Lanxiu would shoot Chao Rirou first? Although there are several cases where Yue Lanxiu would not shoot her vital parts, you still couldn't bear to see that woman get hurt!" Every word Guan Shaoling said touched the heart, making it impossible to refute.
"Don't think I don't know your ultimate purpose in going through so much trouble! You volunteered to be kidnapped, wasn't it just to see if that woman would come to save you, wasn't it just to prove whether she still had you in her heart! You hypnotized her and asked her to kill Yue Lanhuan, wasn't it just to make her and Yue Lanxiu become enemies and never be together! Don't think I can't see it just because you don't admit it, you actually care about her to death!"
Guan Shaoling put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth. After finishing his words in one breath, he sighed heavily again. He felt that he seemed to have aged a lot. Could he not worry about this guy less? "After saying so much, I just hope you won't tie yourself up in knots! Think about it carefully. What should you do with her?"
The back garden was empty at this time. Asahirou returned here, wondering where the people were, but she didn't realize that everyone had gone somewhere else to look for them!
When I turned around, I saw Yatang dragging her suitcase, sneaking around and not knowing where she was going!
Asahirou had long felt that there was something wrong with her, but she just didn't have time to care about it. So now she naturally followed her to see what she was up to!
There's also a smaller, two-story house in the back garden, which is used to store gardening supplies. Although Asahirou doesn't live here much, she still arranges for someone to come and take care of her flowers from time to time.
Yatang looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he went inside.
Asahiro had been observing outside for a while, but she didn't see her come out.
Little did they know that Yatang had already climbed out of the window at the back of the house that led to the outside.
Yatang was walking quickly in the woods, with a rare cold smile on her face, counting in her mouth. If she went as she expected, the house behind her would explode before she counted to 300, and Chao Rirou would definitely be killed this time!
It was a pity for Yue Lanhuan. She didn't want her to die. After all, Yue Lanhuan liked her so much, maybe he would match her with Yue Lanxiu! But there was no other way. This was the only way to kill Chao Rirou!
"What makes you shake your head with regret? Is it because I'm not dead that you feel sorry for me?" Chao Rirou suddenly appeared in front of her, leaning against a tree with her arms folded across her chest. Although she looked at her with a smile, she gave her a chill!
Yatang was horrified, "Why are you here?"
"I'm not here, where should I be?" Asarirou looked at me with a look that said, "I can't see through your tricks."
Yatang turned around and tried to escape, but was caught by Zhao Rirou.
"What I mean is, is it okay for you to stay here? Why don't you go and save Yue Lanhuan? Do you think she will suffocate to death first or die from excessive blood loss after being trapped in the suitcase?" Yatang believed that Zhao Rirou would never abandon Yue Lanhuan. As long as she couldn't abandon Yue Lanhuan, she would die!
It was then that Chao Rirou noticed that the suitcase she was dragging was missing. It seemed that it had been left in the house. "I can't believe you are so cruel! Yue Lan must have treated you very well!"
Asahirou didn't have time to talk to her about this now, so she pulled her back into the house.
The fear on Yatang's face became more and more intense. Thinking of the bomb that had been activated in the suitcase, she panicked and broke out in cold sweats. It was not easy to break free from Chao Rirou's grip, but there was still a chance!
Thinking of the countdown on the bomb, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. She had to escape before the bomb exploded. She already had an idea in her mind.
She cooperated and took Asahirou to the second floor, the room where the suitcases were placed.
When I opened the room, it was empty except for a huge suitcase lying on the ground with blood flowing out.
Seeing the blood, Chao Rirou also showed an anxious look, but she was afraid that Yatang would play tricks, so she asked her to open the suitcase.
Yatang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, she could even hear her own heartbeat. She glanced at the window, which was the only way to escape. Although it was on the second floor, breaking her legs was better than being blown to pieces.
She tried her best to control her hands from shaking, walked over to the suitcase, squatted down, and then unzipped it. Because the object inside was large enough, the suitcase automatically popped open, revealing Yue Lanhuan, who was curled up inside with a pale face and unconscious.
"Damn it!" Chao Rirou was furious, but more anxious. She no longer cared about anything else and hurried forward to check Yue Lanhuan's condition.
Yatang took the opportunity to jump out of the window.
Yue Lanhuan is not in good condition and has a weak breath. She needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. She really is not in the mood to punish Yatang now!
Just as she picked up Yue Lanhuan, a stopwatch under the box suddenly caught her eye. Her heart trembled violently and her face turned pale. Is it, is it a bomb?
The time above shows two minutes left, one minute and fifty-nine seconds...counting down.
Is it really a bomb? It's just that the bomb device is a bit novel, the first time she has seen it.
There was a connecting wire on the timer, and the other end of the wire was pressed under Yue Lanhuan.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She saw that there was plenty of time. She had to confirm the situation at the other end of the cable first, otherwise she wouldn't dare to carry Yue Lanhuan out rashly.
She turned Yue Lanhuan's body with very small but powerful movements and found a red button on the other end. Is that all?
She caught a glimpse of the numbers on the timer suddenly counting down at a hundred or a thousand times the speed, which scared her so much that her heart almost burst. She subconsciously retracted her hands and Yue Lanhuan returned to her original position. Strange things happened again. The timer returned to its original speed, but there were only twenty-five seconds left.
Asahirou slumped on the ground, her entire back soaked in sweat.
She seemed to understand the meaning of the red button. If the button was pressed, like now, the button was pressed down by Yue Lanhuan's body, the time would count down slowly, otherwise the countdown would be accelerated!
There was no time to think. Whether it was fast or slow, time was passing! She had only one thought in mind: to save Yue Lanhuan.
I stood up and looked out the window. Yatang was crawling on the ground with difficulty. He must have broken his leg when he jumped from the second floor.
There was no other way. Rather than being blown to pieces, she had to take a chance!
She first stepped on the red button with her foot, then picked up Yue Lanhuan. There were only fifteen seconds left on the timer, and she was not even allowed a chance to breathe.
If she ignored the red button and jumped out of the window with Yue Lanhuan in her arms, they would probably explode before they even reached the window!
So only if she pressed the button to slow down the passage of time would one of them have a chance to be saved.
Chao Rirou calculated everything, and with ten seconds left, she threw Yue Lanhuan out of the window. As she expected, Yue Lanhuan first fell on an old tree with lush branches and leaves, then slowly fell through the gaps between the leaves and landed on the soft soil.
Unexpectedly, when Yatang was passing under the tree, Yue Lanhuan's foot knocked Yatang unconscious!
At this time, there were only five seconds left. Asahirou loosened her feet and jumped out of the window with gritted teeth, but she was still on the windowsill and the bomb had exploded!
Don’t be fooled by the small size of the bomb device, it is powerful enough to flatten an entire house in an instant!
The deafening sound attracted everyone's attention and everyone ran towards this place. Yue Lanxiu was the first to arrive, followed by Xu Rongxuan and Thyme.
"Oh my God! Is it a bomb?" Xu Rongxuan looked at the ruins in front of him in shock.
For some reason, Yue Lanxiu felt a panic deep down in his heart! He couldn't calm down because he didn't see the person he wanted to see standing before him unharmed.
"Mom!" He saw Yue Lanhuan in front of the ruins.
He quickly ran over, picked her up, and found that the thin Yatang was lying under her!
He first checked Yue Lanhuan, and when he confirmed that she was still breathing, he was so excited that he almost cried!
It was his inability to protect her that kept causing such things to happen to her! Thank God, she's still alive! There's still hope!
Yatang is still breathing, but his breath is very weak. Both of them must be sent to the hospital immediately. If they go too late, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Xu Rongxuan and Thyme also came to help, and Yue Lanxiu asked them to send the person to the hospital as soon as possible.
He can't leave yet!
Xu Rongxuan understood what he meant. He wouldn't leave like that if he wasn't sure that Chao Rirou was safe and sound!
"Be careful!" Xu Rongxuan patted his shoulder, thinking that Zhao Rirou would not hurt him, then turned around and hurried away with Thyme.
Yue Lanxiu stood in front of the ruins, looking around for anyone else who needed to be rescued.
Suddenly he saw an arm, only the arm, the rest was buried under the rubble.
He ran over quickly, but when he was still a few steps away, he suddenly stopped, even his breathing stopped, and his eyes were staring at a bracelet on his hand with his eyes wide open.
He remembered the bracelet, everything about her, but at this moment he hoped he was mistaken. It wasn't hers! It wasn't her! She was so powerful, how could she let herself be buried here?
As if to prove that he was wrong, he suddenly rushed over and desperately dug the person out of the rubble!
My fingers bled from digging, tears streamed down my face! It tore my lungs apart! It ached so much! Finally, I fainted from the unbearable pain!
Even though he fainted, he was still holding tightly the person who had already lost his breath and heartbeat!
