Chapter 237 Escape
Chapter 237 Escape
In the fierce struggle, Xiang Yuntian's ribs were hit hard by Qu Ying's knee, and he fell heavily onto the newly paved asphalt ground.
Upon seeing this, Qu Ying immediately pounced over, brandishing his knife, attempting to kill Xiang Yuntian.
In this extremely critical situation, Xiang Yuntian could only quickly raise his hand and forcefully grab the sharp blade.
Seeing this, Bai Mengfei was extremely anxious and rushed out, shouting, "Stop!"
Unexpectedly, Qu Ying actually stopped. He arrogantly turned his head and slowly stood up.
"Are you talking to me?" Qu Ying looked at her with a threatening and questioning gaze.
What is he questioning?
It's Bai Mengfei's wounds that can be miraculously healed!
This is an ability that countless girls dream of, yet even Bai Mengfei herself doesn't understand the reason behind it!
“The person you’re looking for is me, and I’m also the one you’ve always disliked. So if you have any problems, come at me and let them go,” Bai Mengfei said firmly.
Qu Ying gripped the knife tightly and approached her step by step.
Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the area as bright as day.
Immediately afterwards, a deep rumble of thunder echoed in.
The flash of lightning shone on Qu Ying's pale face, casting a long, eerie shadow on the wall that looked particularly terrifying.
In comparison, Bai Mengfei appeared quite petite.
When Xiang Yuntian saw that Qu Ying was about to harm Bai Mengfei, he knew he was no match for him and his hand was injured. But he still gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and rushed over, tightly hugging Qu Ying's leg with both arms.
"Run!" He looked up at Bai Mengfei and said urgently, "Quickly!"
How could Bai Mengfei possibly abandon him and leave alone?
At this moment, Bai Mengfei was in a state of great inner turmoil.
Seeing that Qu Ying was about to raise his knife again, Bai Mengfei hurriedly roared, "Stop! You are not allowed to hurt him again, or I will make you pay double the price."
Just then, the sound of police sirens came from outside.
Bai Mengfei and the others all thought the police had come to rescue them, and they all turned to look out onto the balcony.
Qu Ying panicked too!
However, when the police arrived, they arrested Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian.
Yang Kang quickly explained to the police, "They are not the murderers, he is!"
But the police ignored them and went over to ask Qu Ying with concern, "Team Leader Qu, are you alright?"
At this point, Bai Mengfei suddenly realized she had been foolish to have asked Yang Kang to go find the police. After all, these police officers were in the same department as Qu Ying, while she was just a forensic doctor!
"Take them back to me!" Qu Ying ordered angrily.
Bai Mengfei knew in her heart that if she were caught and taken back this time, her chances of survival would be slim.
So she deliberately walked slowly, thinking about how to escape the whole way. When she arrived in the rain, she discovered that one of the policemen was carrying a gun.
It's important to know that not every police officer is allowed to carry a firearm; this officer must have applied for permission to do so!
Upon seeing the gun, Bai Mengfei, in order to survive, conceived a bold idea.
She thought to herself, "I've died before, so I can just die again. But Xiang Yuntian absolutely cannot be harmed. He's innocent and has a bright future ahead of him. He can't be ruined here!"
Taking advantage of the police's inattention, Bai Mengfei quickly ran over and snatched the policeman's service pistol.
"Don't move! Nobody is allowed to move!" Bai Mengfei pointed her gun at them and said, "Release the forensic doctor, or we'll all die together!"
Everyone thought Bai Mengfei was young and impetuous, and assumed she would actually shoot, so no one dared to approach her.
"Don't be impulsive!" the police officers urged.
Bai Mengfei shook her head, wiping the rain off her face, then pointed the gun at Qu Ying and said, "You tell them to release the people, or I'll really shoot you! Don't think I'm joking. You should know my personality; I don't fall for either soft or hard tactics!"
Qu Ying knew that Bai Mengfei meant what she said, and panicked. He could only tell the police, "Release them!"
The police then unlocked Xiang Yuntian's handcuffs and pushed him over.
Xiang Yuntian hurriedly ran to a police car, grabbed the vehicle, and shouted to Bai Mengfei, who was still confronting the police in the rain, "Get in the car quickly!"
Bai Mengfei slowly retreated to the side of the car, and none of the police officers dared to chase after her.
After the two drove away, Xiang Yuntian's hands were trembling because the knife wound on his hands was too severe.
Knives, being made of iron, can easily cause tetanus, especially after being caught in the rain when the body's immunity is lowered, increasing the risk of infection.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian were both very clear about this.
So Bai Mengfei quickly raised her hand and gently touched Xiang Yuntian's forehead, only to find that his forehead was burning hot!
"You have a fever! What should we do now?" Bai Mengfei asked anxiously.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yuntian decided, "I remember there's a village at the foot of the mountain nearby that few people go to. Let's find a place to dump the car and then go there." After saying that, Xiang Yuntian deliberately drove the car in the opposite direction and then went around in a big circle before heading to the village with Bai Mengfei.
As they traveled, the rain grew heavier and heavier, and Xiang Yuntian's body became increasingly weak.
Fortunately, Bai Mengfei was always there to support him and constantly show him care.
"Are you alright?" Bai Mengfei asked with concern.
Xiang Yuntian shook his head slightly and said, "I can hold on for a while longer." But as soon as he took a step with his right foot, he couldn't support himself, collapsed to the ground, and fainted.
Bai Mengfei would never abandon him. She carried Xiang Yuntian on her back and struggled forward. On the way out, Bai Mengfei gritted her teeth, each step incredibly difficult.
Although every step was difficult, Bai Mengfei never gave up!
"Yun Tian, just hang in there a little longer, everything will be alright! You'll definitely get better!" In the rain, Bai Mengfei's tears mingled with the rainwater, making it impossible to distinguish them.
The thought that Xiang Yuntian might be infected and his condition might worsen made her heart ache.
Around nine o'clock the next morning, Bai Mengfei finally brought Xiang Yuntian to the outside of the village.
They had only been walking along the path in the fields for a short while when Bai Mengfei felt exhausted. As a result, the two of them fell down in the field, damaging the vegetable farmer's crops.
The vegetable farmer, having finished weeding in the field, returned to find the two of them lying on the ground. Judging from their clothes, the farmer realized they weren't locals, but he still kindly helped them onto an oxcart, where an old ox pulled them home.
It wasn't until dusk that Bai Mengfei slowly opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" Bai Mengfei sat up, rubbing her dizzy head.
A woman who looked to be about fifty years old came over with a bowl of water and said to Bai Mengfei, "Miss, you have a fever. Here's some herbal soup. Please drink it!"
