Sha Rou, panting, looked up at Long Xiuyu who was walking over: “Are you alright?”
Long Xiuyu looked at the side of her face, which was already red and swollen from the impact, and said, “I should be asking you that!”
At this moment, Sha Rou also realized the waves of pain coming from her face and shoulders.
Sha Rou glared and lifted the blondie from the ground: “Speak, why did you attack Long Xiuyu?”
The blondie’s face was covered in blood, but his tone was sinister: “I felt like it.”
Long Xiuyu narrowed his eyes, took two steps forward, and grabbed the blondie’s neck with one hand, applying force: “Now I feel like it.”
“Ugh–” The blondie couldn’t breathe from his grip.
“Let go.” Sha Rou quickly tried to pull Long Xiuyu away, but she didn’t expect Long Xiuyu to be so strong that she couldn’t pull him off.
“Long Xiuyu, let go, did you hear me?” Sha Rou shouted anxiously while prying at Long Xiuyu’s hand, afraid that Long Xiuyu would strangle the blondie to death.

Long Xiuyu seemed not to hear, continuing to exert force with his hand.
The blondie began to roll his eyes.
Seeing that she couldn’t pry Long Xiuyu’s hand open, Sha Rou took out her gun and pointed it at Long Xiuyu, saying, “Long Xiuyu, let go, or I’ll shoot.”
Long Xiuyu turned his head and saw Sha Rou, a small figure, pointing a gun at him. He finally let go and threw the blondie away like trash.
The blondie staggered back a few steps from the force of the throw and coughed aside, while Long Xiuyu coldly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands.
Sha Rou put her gun back, grabbed the blondie’s handcuffs, and wanted to take the blondie away – she felt a violent aura emanating from Long Xiuyu, which was very intimidating. She was afraid that if the blondie stayed here, Long Xiuyu would attack again.
“Security, come quickly, someone’s here!”
“There was a fight here just now, security–“
People from another elevator came upstairs and called for security. Several security guards with batons saw that the blondie had already been handcuffed, a policeman was escorting the blondie, and Long Xiuyu was wiping his hands aside. The security guards greeted Long Xiuyu casually.
Long Xiuyu raised his head and pointed his chin in Sha Rou’s direction: “Go cooperate with the police and keep an eye on him.” The security guards responded obediently.
Seeing that there was no one to help, Sha Rou asked the security guards to watch the blondie, and she called the police station to send someone to take the blondie away.
Unexpectedly, before the police arrived, the blondie suddenly went limp and fell to the ground, convulsing and rolling non-stop, foaming at the mouth.
“What’s wrong?” Sha Rou bent down to check on the convulsing blondie, but the blondie was trembling non-stop.
The security guard said it looked like epilepsy, and Sha Rou quickly asked the security guard to call a doctor. Fortunately, this was a hospital, and the doctor came quickly. The blondie was quickly sent to the emergency room.
The blondie was taken for emergency treatment, and Sha Rou watched inside.
Long Xiuyu saw that the bruise on Sha Rou’s face was a little swollen. After all, the two had just “fought together,” so Long Xiuyu asked Sha Rou if she wanted to treat her injury.
Sha Rou touched it hard and felt a burst of pain in her cheek, but she was worried about the blondie’s condition and refused to leave the emergency room.
Long Xiuyu asked the security guard to call a doctor to treat Sha Rou’s external injury outside the emergency room.
After applying the ointment and instructing Sha Rou a few words, the doctor left with the medical kit. Sha Rou rubbed her slightly stinging face and blurted out: “Does your police force owe the Long Family something?”
Long Xiuyu was puzzled: “What are you talking about?”
Sha Rou looked at Long Xiuyu and sighed: “Your captain was shot to save my brother, I was attacked, and you were attacked, and you were injured,” she said with some melancholy: “Why is it that every time we Long Family members are attacked, it’s your police officers who get hurt? What did we do? Why do one or two people want to kill us?”
Long Xiuyu’s eyebrows twitched: “You’ll have to ask the criminals that!”
Sha Rou touched her cheek hard, feeling a slight pain. She said unclearly, “Murder won’t be without a reason. You’re half my savior, can’t I say something nice because you’re injured?”
Long Xiuyu didn’t comment on Sha Rou’s self-proclaimed “half-savior,” he just skirted the issue: “The truth is I’ve never seen that person before, and I don’t know why he wanted to attack me. Also, you did help me just now. I, Long Xiuyu, don’t owe favors. If you think you’ve done me a favor, you can make any request, as long as I can do it, I’ll definitely satisfy you.”
Long Xiuyu’s stubborn tone made Sha Rou want to laugh. She was just saying it casually, but she didn’t expect this person to take it so seriously. So she jokingly said: “Me, want to repay you? Okay, grandma will let me offer myself, do you want me to satisfy your request?”
“Uh… what did I miss? What about offering oneself?” Long Xinyu, who had rushed over after receiving the news, heard this as soon as he approached.
Sha Rou: …
Long Xiuyu glanced at Sha Rou: “It’s nothing, Officer Sha is joking with me.”
Sha Rou was speechless: I know it’s a joke!
Long Xinyu blinked at his brother. He was attacked, and he was still in the mood to joke?
He didn’t have the mind to pursue this question now. He asked Long Xiuyu what happened and looked at the wound on Sha Rou’s face before saying angrily, “What’s going on? Everything is so inexplicable. Xu Ming wanted to kill you, and now another one pops up wanting to kill me. What’s going on?”
Long Xiuyu snorted: “We can’t ask anything from Xu Ming since he’s dead. This one’s still alive, we’ll just ask him later.”
Sha Rou said: “That’s if he can survive. I saw what the blondie looked like just now, he’s still in emergency treatment. I didn’t use that much force, don’t tell me I beat him to death.”
Long Xiuyu snorted coldly: “As long as he’s not dead, I’ll make him talk.”
Sha Rou glared: “Don’t mess around, only you police officers can interrogate criminal suspects.”
Long Xiuyu glanced at her: “He wanted to kill me, don’t I have the right to ask him?”
“Say it again, only the police have the right to interrogate criminal suspects. Long Xiuyu, if you dare to mess around, I’ll arrest you on the grounds of obstructing law enforcement,” Sha Rou declared.
“If you want to arrest me, you need evidence, otherwise I can organize a team of lawyers to sue the police station and have you fired.”
“I…” Sha Rou was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
Long Xinyu saw his brother and Sha Rou arguing, and he was a little confused. Someone attacked his brother, so his brother definitely wanted to investigate. Besides, the person was in their hospital, so whether or not they let the other party speak was up to them. Why was his brother arguing with Sha Rou?
Seeing Long Xiuyu and Sha Rou “bickering,” Long Xinyu quickly pulled Long Xiuyu, and Long Xiuyu realized, why was he arguing with a police officer?
Then, he looked at Sha Rou’s angry face and was a little puzzled by his reaction!
The emergency room door opened at this time, and the doctor came out and said that the blondie’s condition had stabilized, and he was no longer in danger, but he hadn’t woken up yet. He must have had a pre-existing condition, and the specific situation would depend on the examination results. He could now be transferred to a regular ward.
Sha Rou understood the situation and asked the police officers who had just arrived to watch over the blondie. She suggested to Long Xiuyu that the police temporarily protect his safety, but Long Xiuyu refused.
Sha Rou thought Long Xiuyu was too uncooperative, and she said unhappily: “Mr. Long, you shouldn’t refuse police protection. My brother and I have been attacked one after another, and the motive hasn’t been found out yet. Who knows if others will attack us again. You have to know, it’s not like we Long Family members can always be lucky enough to have police officers shield us every time we’re in danger.”
Long Xiuyu didn’t argue with her, only said that he didn’t need it, which made Sha Rou half dead with anger.
Sha Rou wanted to continue to persuade him, but Lu Ye came with bodyguards to pick up Long Xiuyu. Long Xiuyu looked at Sha Rou, walked to her side, lowered his body and said in her ear: “You have your own bodyguards, so Officer Sha doesn’t need to worry about safety. But, no matter what, today I saved you. Give me a promise, in the future, if I have anything I need you to help with, as long as it’s within reason, you must do it for me.” After speaking, he straightened up and left surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
Sha Rou rolled her eyes at his back.
That night, Long Xiuyu received news that the blondie in the hospital had been identified as Wu Xing. Wu Xing confessed that Min Bocai had instructed him to attack Long Xiuyu, but as for why, he didn’t know. He was just doing things for money – but, Min Bocai had been lying in the hospital ever since the small fire, and he wasn’t even conscious, so how could he instruct Wu Xing to attack Long Xiuyu!
“Did the police find anything?” Long Xiuyu asked after listening to Lu Ye’s report.
Lu Ye said: “That’s the news from the police. The blondie is called Wu Xing and has a history of mental illness. I originally wanted to arrange for someone to transfer some police officers to ask more questions, but Wu Xing escaped.”
Long Xiuyu was surprised: “Escaped?”
“Yes.”
Wu Xing had an episode in the hospital. After waking up, he cooperated unusually with the police officers’ inquiries, repeatedly saying that he had received money from Min Bocai to attack Long Xiuyu. Seeing his cooperation, the police officers didn’t make things difficult for him.
Lu Ye felt that it wasn’t that simple and was still wondering if he should arrange for someone to transfer the police and question him in person, but Wu Xing attacked the police officers guarding him and escaped, so they lost the opportunity to personally interrogate Wu Xing.
Long Xiuyu frowned: “A living person, escaped just like that?”
Lu Ye’s face was also not good-looking: “I checked the hospital’s surveillance, he didn’t escape alone, someone was helping him.”
Long Xiuyu felt that things were strange: “Someone was helping him? Then Wu Xing’s words are not credible. According to Wu Xing, Min Bocai instructed him to attack me, then why did he do it in the hospital? There are people coming and going, and the chances of success are not high, and he escaped from the hospital so easily,” Long Xiuyu looked at Lu Ye: “Don’t you think all of this seems to be designed?”
“Are you saying there’s a problem with the hospital?” Lu Ye’s expression changed slightly.
Long Xiuyu slapped the sofa armrest: “From beginning to end, these things have been revolving around Xinyu. If someone in the hospital is helping, and Xinyu is in the hospital with Rao Xian, he may be in danger.”
Long Xiuyu keenly felt that something was wrong. He took out his cell phone and called Long Xinyu, but the phone showed that it couldn’t be connected. Long Xiuyu’s face gradually turned cold as the voice prompt said, “The number you dialed cannot be connected.”
Lu Ye also realized that the situation was not right and immediately contacted the hospital.
The hospital security came to Rao Xian’s ward and quickly replied that the ward door was ajar, the caretaker was unconscious, Long Xinyu’s cell phone was on the floor, the sofa was askew, and the vase by Rao Xian’s bed had fallen, spilling water all over the cabinet. The room looked very messy, and Long Xinyu and the patient Rao Xian were gone. They had already called the police, and the caretaker was seriously injured and had just been taken for treatment.
Long Xiuyu rushed to the hospital with Lu Ye, and Shao Hui and Sha Rou also arrived and were checking the surveillance.
Long Xiuyu saw Sha Rou and walked straight over to ask: “Any clues?”
Sha Rou nodded: “On Wu Xing’s side, a person disguised as a doctor attacked the police officer, and then Wu Xing changed into the doctor’s clothes and came to this ward with the fake doctor who was helping him. Looking at the scene, they must have attacked our captain, Long Xinyu, and the caretaker, and then took our captain and Long Xinyu away hidden in a cart.”
Long Xiuyu’s eyes narrowed slightly: “So, attacking you wasn’t the goal, it was to distract you. Their target is Xinyu or Officer Rao?”
Shao Hui walked over: “What do these things have to do with our captain? Why was even our captain taken away?”
“You’ll have to ask the people who kidnapped him!” Long Xiuyu’s tone was mixed with a hint of ferocity.
Sha Rou was worried: “Our captain is still injured, what is the purpose of the people who kidnapped them?”
No one could give her an answer.
Long Xinyu was awakened by the sound of water. He opened his eyes and found that it was dark all around. After a moment, he could barely see the darkness around him. He was lying on his back on the ground, with a wooden ceiling above his head, very high, and the sound of water in his ears – where was this?
Long Xinyu wanted to get up, but he felt a headache and a little dizzy. He shook his head and tried to sit up, but when he moved, he found that his hands were tied behind his back. He felt that his hands were tied, and his feet were also tied. He tried to break free, but he couldn’t.
Long Xinyu struggled to sit up, vaguely seeing a small pile of roses scattered around – he had fallen into a pile of roses, Long Xinyu wondered.
Then he saw a blurry figure lying outside a pile of roses. The familiar figure and the hospital gown made Long Xinyu confirm that it was Rao Xian.
“Officer Rao–” Long Xinyu pushed aside the roses with his feet and moved over, finding that Rao Xian was also tied up. Although his eyes were closed, his chest was still rising and falling. He leaned down and listened to Rao Xian’s heartbeat and breathing, which were very normal, but the person hadn’t woken up.
“Officer Rao, Rao Xian–” Long Xinyu called out twice.
Rao Xian slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at Long Xinyu, obviously not yet recovered. After a few seconds, he hesitantly opened his mouth: “Long Xinyu?” Then he looked around with a face full of confusion: “Where is this?”
Long Xinyu didn’t know either. He only vaguely remembered that he was telling Rao Xian whether to find someone to arrange Ye Yuning’s funeral, when a doctor and nurse came to change Rao Xian’s IV drip and asked him to help. When he was helping to hang the IV drip, the person suddenly took out a piece of cloth and pressed it against his mouth and nose – uh, someone had kidnapped him and Rao Xian, Long Xinyu quickly realized this. He looked at Rao Xian, and Rao Xian also remembered.
“Heh… heh…” A series of men’s laughter came over.
Long Xinyu and Rao Xian suddenly turned their heads and saw two blurry figures standing in the dark shadows not far away. The one in front seemed to be a woman, and she seemed to be playing with something in her hand.
Long Xinyu and Rao Xian looked at each other.
“Who? Who’s there?” Long Xinyu asked.
Rao Xian also looked at the shadows, while forcefully rubbing his hands together, trying to break free, but the feeling under his hands made him realize that he was bound with police hard plastic restraints, which he couldn’t break free from at all.
“Heh…” The woman laughed softly, “Don’t waste your energy, I didn’t plan to let you go when I caught you.”
Long Xinyu frowned: “Who am I, what do I want to do?”
Editor’s note:
Who exactly kidnapped Long Xinyu and Officer Rao? What is the purpose of kidnapping them? Can they escape? The plot behind this is getting more and more exciting.
