Chapter 872: Cannibalistic Demon

With those words spoken, Ling Shuang shoved Xu Xiaodong down and swiftly fled down the corridor.

Xu Xiaodong, mid-air, was violently jerked by the noose around his neck, his agony silent. With no time to spare, Lin Dongxue drew her gun, aiming at the swinging rope, focusing on steadying her breath to minimize tremors.

Seeing Lin Dongxue suddenly draw a gun, everyone’s hopes rested on her. Climbing up to untie the rope was out of the question now. Lao Zhang urged everyone to rush downstairs to catch the fleeing person.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiupu sprinted towards a secure passage, concern for Xiaodong didn’t mean he planned to let the suspect escape. At this critical moment, they couldn’t afford to miss the chance to arrest Zhou Xiao.

Lin Qiupu spotted a figure running frantically towards the underground garage. Anger fueled him, and he leaped down ten steps, tackling the person to the ground. They both fell in a heap.

Zhou Xiao looked up, locking eyes with Lin Qiupu. His face mask askew, the sight of his face only fueled Lin Qiupu’s rage.

He landed a punch on Zhou Xiao’s face. Zhou Xiao staggered back, taking another blow to the abdomen. Lin Qiupu roared, “Why wear this mask? Why blaspheme him!”

Zhou Xiao laughed through blood, pulling off his mask. “You really love him, huh!”

This statement further incensed Lin Qiupu, but he didn’t hear the footsteps behind him. By the time he noticed, it was too late. Ling Shuang pounced on his back like an agile vampire, a small knife stabbing madly into Lin Qiupu’s chest.

Lin Qiupu sat back, a large patch of blood spreading slowly across his chest. His limbs grew cold.

Ling Shuang, indulging her murderous urge, prepared to finish him off. Zhou Xiao grabbed her. “Enough!”

Ling Shuang sneered, plunging the knife into Lin Qiupu’s belly, facing him. “Captain Lin, good luck!”

They fled together. Lin Qiupu stared at the knife wound in his abdomen, his vision beginning to blur. Through the radio, someone called out to him desperately, “Captain Lin, respond! We’re about to rush in!” “Underground… garage…” Lin Qiupu managed with all his strength.

On the ground, they successfully caught Xu Xiaodong, placing him down. Upon closer inspection, they found his neck bent unnaturally, a bad omen. Quickly removing the cloth from his face, Xu Xiaodong gasped for air, tears streaming down his face. “Neck… hurts…”

Lin Dongxue realized his neck might be broken, cradling his head. “Can you feel anything?”

“Yes…”

“Thank goodness!” Lin Dongxue cried tears of joy, her shooting skills average, yet hitting the mark at a crucial moment. Lao Zhang, experienced in these matters, took off his jacket, gently supporting Xu Xiaodong’s head to relieve the pressure on his neck.

Too focused on rescue, Lin Dongxue only then heard voices on the radio, “…respond!” “Lin Dongxue responding!”

“Your captain is in the underground garage. We’re rushing in from another entrance.”

“Got it!” Lin Dongxue signaled for everyone to follow. Except for Lao Zhang and Xiao Li, who stayed to tend to Xiaodong, the other police officers and Chen Shi followed her.

The pitch-black underground garage suddenly lit up with bright lights as SWAT team members, guns raised, rushed in from another entrance. Blinded by the lights, Lin Dongxue saw someone sitting on the ground. At first, she didn’t recognize him, then she realized it was Lin Qiupu, covered in blood. Lin Dongxue ran over, kneeling down. Lin Qiupu was covered in blood, and Lin Dongxue didn’t know where to put her hands.

Lin Qiupu tilted his head, desperately trying to open his eyes but lacking the strength.

Others crowded around, sorrowful, shocked, and indignant. Lin Dongxue wept, blaming him, “Why didn’t you wait for us!”

Chen Shi also half-kneeled beside him, grabbing his bloody hand, shouting, “Captain Lin!”

Hearing this title, Lin Qiupu, semi-conscious, opened his eyes, glanced at Chen Shi, and in his daze, he thought he saw Song Lang speaking to him. He moved his lips, wanting to call out to him, but ultimately passed out due to excessive bleeding.

At midnight, Lin Qiupu was rescued and taken to the ICU ward. He cried for hours. Lin Dongxue’s eyes were swollen. When she saw Lin Qiupu, still unconscious and wearing a breathing mask behind the glass, tears flowed again.

Chen Shi patted her shoulder, comforting, “Don’t be too sad. He will wake up.” Then handed her a bottle of mineral water.

With a cut finger, Chen Shi handed Xu Xiaodong a head fixed in a neck brace, and Xiao Li used a toothpick to pick apples for him. The two men laughed and talked, and it seemed that Xiaodong’s spirits were fine.

Lin Dongxue stood at the door and didn’t go in. She didn’t want to bring the heavy atmosphere in. Chen Shi said, “We didn’t lose. At least Xiaodong and his mother survived, and we did our best to save them!”

“If my brother really doesn’t wake up…” Lin Dongxue lowered her head, determined, “I will take care of him for the rest of my life!”

“You can be a policeman during the day and drive a taxi at night, and we’ll make money together.”

Lin Dongxue laughed through tears, “I’ll go to your place tonight. I’m almost too tired to move.”

Chen Shi’s face darkened. “I didn’t want to say this now, but I have to. Yue Yue is missing!”

“What!? She wouldn’t…”

“No, she wasn’t kidnapped. She left on her own and left a diary behind!”

Several days later, in Lie Guojiao’s villa, Lie Guojiao told Liu Feng to move the empty wine glass on the table aside and open a box. Lie Guojiao reached out a hand. “Mr. Zhou, Miss Ling, you did a great job this time. Here’s your reward.”

Money was trivial. Zhou Xiao picked up a passport and looked at it. It had a new identity. He held it in his hand, slapped it and said, “Master Lie, why don’t you run by himself?”

“Ah, my ability is so big, why not run myself? But I can’t run. I can’t run. I’m already poor.” “You’re a good guest.”

“I don’t want to interrupt your conversation.”

“I’m not in a hurry.” Lie Guojiao tapped her hand. “I have other surprises for Miss Ling?”

“Please don’t hurry.” Lie Guojiao gently patted Ling’s hand back. “I have to upset my son in hospital. I don’t like you. I can see. Just hand.” Know what can’t police. them me a don’t do law, but I message, I.
