After the gunshot, the world suddenly became peaceful.
Mu Qian could not make a sound anymore and could only watch helplessly as Lu Yuchuan's heavy body slowly fell to the ground.
Until the last moment, he was still looking at her.
He was even still smiling, as if telling her that in the end, he won.
Mu Qian felt as if her soul had been taken away, and she just looked at him almost frozen, until Lu Yuchuan finally slowly closed his eyes.
After that, the room was in chaos.
Mu Qian was quickly pulled up and escorted out of the room.
She no longer struggled or resisted, and was sent to the police car not far away like a zombie.
"Mrs. Huo, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need anything?" A policewoman squatted outside the car and asked Mu Qian's needs with concern.
Mu Qian didn't react at all.
She just leaned on the seat and looked at the small house not far away quietly.
Not long ago, it was hidden in the darkness, a refuge for those who were preparing to flee.
At this moment, the place was already brightly lit and full of people.
And the person who was preparing to flee to the end of the world... ended up there.
He has won.
He won after all.
He won her with his own life.
Seeing Mu Qian motionless in front of her, with no expression or reaction, the policewoman who stayed to look at her was a little undecided. When she was about to ask for permission to send Mu Qian to the hospital first, she suddenly
I saw several snow-white light beams coming from the darkness in the distance, approaching quickly.
Soon, those cars stopped, and a dozen figures came outside the cordon. After identifying themselves, they quickly entered the cordon.
After briefly asking about the situation, several of them quickly rushed towards the room.
Lu Yuan's thin and slender figure looked out of place among this group of police officers.
Seeing those people heading towards that room, how could she not guess what that room was like?
She looked at the figures inside and outside the room from a distance. After being stiff for a moment, she finally couldn't help but wanted to step forward.
Rong Heng, who had been beside her, stretched out his hand to hold her, and then gestured to her in the direction of the police car.
Lu Yan followed his line of sight and finally saw Mu Qian.
She sat quietly in the police car, looking at the house as well. She seemed to be safe and sound, but there was no light in her eyes.
Lu Yan stood stunned for a moment, then finally took a step and walked slowly to the car.
She stood by the car for a long time, and Mu Qian didn't even see her, until she stretched out her hand and slowly took Mu Qian's hand.
Even the palms of Mu Qian's hands were cold.
The moment Lu Yan touched her hand, he held tears for a long time and suddenly fell down.
Mu Qian looked away little by little, and when her eyes finally fell on Lu Yuan's face, she happened to see the tears falling from her eyes.
Mu Qian suddenly came back to her senses.
She suddenly reached out her hand and held Lu Yuan's face. After wiping away the tears hanging on her cheeks, she went up and gently wiped her moist eyes.
Lu Yuan slowly closed his eyes, but his tears instantly became more intense.
"Yuanyuan, I'm sorry." Mu Qian said.
Lu Yuan burst into tears for a moment, but gently shook her head.
The next moment, she reached out her hand, gently hugged Mu Qian, and protected her into her arms.
Rong Heng stood nearby and looked at them quietly for a moment, then showed his ID to the policewoman next to him and whispered: "Please look at them."
After saying this, he turned around and strode towards the crime scene not far away.
After the chaos just now, the room had returned to its proper order. As soon as Rong Heng entered the door, he saw the corpses on the ground.
And lying in the center of the room was Lu Yuchuan.
This man who had been unruly and arrogant for most of his life ended his life in such a dilapidated and abandoned building.
Rong Heng stared at the corpse quietly for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "Who is the person in charge?"
"I am." A middle-aged man who was giving orders to the staff stood up and said, "Are you Captain Rong of Tongcheng? Hello, my name is Lin Ming, and I am -"
However, before he had finished introducing himself, Rong Heng had already walked up to him with a cold face, almost questioning, and said sternly: "Who gave you permission to act without permission?"
Lin Ming didn't expect Rong Heng to open his mouth with a question. After being stunned for a moment, Lin Ming replied: "After we received the notice, we rushed to the scene——"
"Who asked you to rush to the scene first?" Rong Heng continued with a livid face, "I told you to be prepared and cooperate with us at any time. It would be better for you to just rush to the scene on your own! It's because you're afraid that the suspects won't know you're coming.
Right? You’re afraid that he hasn’t received enough stimulation, right? You’ll be satisfied only if you force him to kill the hostage on the spot, right?”
In the same room, there were two teams of people, belonging to two regions. They originally had a cooperative relationship, but unexpectedly, Rong Heng immediately fell out with each other as soon as he came up. The atmosphere in the room instantly became a little tense.
"What are you yelling about? We handled this case, and nothing happened now?" A young police officer retorted unconvincingly, "Those who were killed and injured were all criminals, and the hostages were successfully rescued. What do you have?"
unsatisfied?"
"Rescue?" Rong Heng turned to look at him, "Do you call this situation a rescue?"
"Why not rescue? If we hadn't arrived in time, the hostages might have suffered misfortune——"
Hearing this, Rong Heng suddenly sneered and said: "Okay, what a good sentence to come in time - disobeying instructions, acting without permission, alerting the criminal suspect, increasing the number of casualties by two, and finally relying on the criminal suspect to take the initiative to release the hostages."
I was able to escape unscathed - this is what you call rescue! I'm waiting to see what report you will write when the time comes!"
After saying these words, Rong Heng turned around and walked out of the room.
Upon seeing this, the Tongcheng police officers followed him and left one after another.
There was silence in the room for a while. After a long time, a police officer asked doubtfully: "They arrived at the scene later than us... Why do they seem to know the situation of the crime better than us?"
Lin Ming's face turned slightly blue. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Ignore that! Continue to focus on handling the case!"
When Rong Heng returned to the police car, Lu Yuan was still holding Mu Qian, and they remained silent for a long time.
Rong Heng stood beside the car for a long time before finally saying: "Let's get out of here first... Mu Qian, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up first. Too many things have happened in the past two days, and you are pregnant with the child.
Don’t be careless.”
After a while, Lu Yuan finally straightened up, wiped away his tears, wiped Mu Qian's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Let's go to the hospital first."
Mu Qian didn't express her position. Lu Yuan lowered his head and arranged her clothes for her. He also took the windbreaker he brought and put it on Mu Qian.
After doing this, Lu Yuan exited the car. After a brief pause, he couldn't help but look back and looked at the abandoned hut again.
Rong Heng quickly reached out and held her hands.
Lu Yuan finally looked away, slowly lowered his eyes, turned around and got into the car from the other side.
Rong Heng borrowed the car keys, quickly got into the car and became the driver.
The car slowly drove away from the scene. Mu Qian and Lu Yuan each sat on one side of the car, but their eyes were always looking in the same direction, and they did not look back for a long time.
It wasn't until the abandoned hut finally disappeared. After a long time, Mu Qian came back to her senses and asked, "Where is Huo Jinxi?"
