Chapter 185: Fight for Life
I ran out of the gymnasium, shouting, "Studio, studio, where is Shi Huaizhong's studio?" I found my car, opened the door quickly and got in. I suddenly remembered that Old Man Hua knew Shi, so he should know where his studio is.
I quickly used Hua Jingjing's phone to call my father-in-law: "Hello, old man! That Shi Huaizhong, do you know where his studio is?"
"I know! You're in such a hurry, what happened?"
"Great! Tell me now! That bad guy has kidnapped one of my colleagues and intends to rape a decent woman. I have to go and rescue her!"
"No way? Xiao Shi is usually a very well behaved child, he wouldn't be so bold, right?"
"Oh, just tell me the address right away, it will be too late!"
"Oh, he has a blue bungalow in Sanlinpu, a suburb of the city. There's a Western-style painted sign on the roof. It's easy to spot. Are you going there alone? Do you want me to send someone to help you?"
"Then please help call the police. I have to hurry!"
I threw away my phone, started the engine, backed out of the car, and drove towards Sanlinpu at full speed.
This may be the fastest I have ever driven in my life. My car has reached its speed limit. The phone kept ringing beside my ear. It was the sound of the car starting and Fan Yunting struggling after being tied up. It seemed that they were also heading to the studio in Sanlinpu.
Half an hour later, Shi Huaizhong and his men arrived. He was dragging Fan Yunting down, cursing. I was still five or six minutes away from Sanlinpu.
The sound of a door closing and Shi Huaizhong's lewd laughter came from the phone, and then he yelled again, "You stinking bitch dare to bite me? I'll fucking beat you to death!"
Then I heard Fan Yunting screaming in pain. My heart was burning with anger and I wished I could rush over and kill that bad guy immediately!
Sanlinpu was not far away. It was a small town with only one road. Fortunately, as soon as I entered the town, I saw the bungalow with the sign on the roof.
Shi Huaizhong was already tearing Fan Yunting's clothes off on the phone. Fan Yunting was crying and struggling unwillingly. Suddenly, Shi Huaizhong shouted, "What is this? Damn bitch, how dare you secretly call someone? I'll fucking kill you!"
It happened so fast! I had already crashed into the gate with my car without caring about anything.
With a loud bang, the door, windows and walls were smashed through. I didn't care about the huge shock all over my body, and pushed the door open. I saw Shi Huaizhong kneeling on a small bed, looking at me in shock. Under him, Fan Yunting's hands and feet were tied with canvas, but fortunately her clothes were still intact.
I walked through the broken wall, gnashing my teeth and roaring, "You beast!" I rushed over and punched Shi Huaizhong hard on the chin. Shi Huaizhong was caught off guard and was knocked off the bed by my punch.
Fan Yunting on the bed cried with joy when she saw me arrive in time, and shouted, "Tang Qian, save me!" I saw that her face and hands were bruised and purple, and there was blood at the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she had been beaten by Shi Huaizhong. I was shocked and angry, and hurried over to untie the canvas in Fan Yunting's hands.
Shi Huaizhong struggled to get up from under the bed. He opened his mouth and spat out a broken front tooth. His eyes were bloodshot. He screamed, "It's you, Tang, again. I'm going to fight you today!"
He howled and lunged at me. I had no choice but to let go of Fan Yunting and turned around to wrestle with him. We were not fighting now. We both hated each other so much that we wanted to kill each other. This attack was a fight for our lives.
I was hit hard on the forehead by Shi Huaizhong, and I kicked him hard in the abdomen. We fell apart, and Shi Huaizhong picked up a small stool and smashed it on my head again. Although I had a terrible headache, my mind was very clear. I could see that Shi Huaizhong's face was red, he must have drunk enough. Although he was strong and powerful, his agility must have decreased. I didn't fight him with strength, I just wanted to fight.
I dodged to the side, and Shi Huaizhong couldn't stop his momentum and fell to the ground where I was standing. I saw this opportunity and didn't want to let it go. I kicked him hard in the anus.
Shi Huaizhong screamed in pain and rolled onto the ground, curled up in a ball. Seeing that he had lost the ability to resist, I didn't really want to kill him, so I turned around and continued to untie Fan Yunting.
Fan Yunting's eyes were filled with tears as she cried, "Tang Qian, I was so scared, I thought you wouldn't come to save me!"
I smiled and said, "How could that be? No matter what, I will come to save you." As soon as I untied her hands, Fan Yunting immediately hugged my neck and said, "Tang Qian...you have to protect me for the rest of my life."
I...had to pretend I didn't hear anything and continued to untie her feet. Suddenly Fan Yunting shouted, "Shi Huaizhong! How dare you?"
I turned around and saw Shi Huaizhong had found a rifle from somewhere and was rushing towards us with a grim smile.
I calmly picked up Fan Yunting and jumped to the side. At this moment, the sound of police car sirens came from a distance, and it was getting closer and closer.
Shi Huaizhong's face turned pale. Although he was crazy, he was not stupid. He knew that if he fell into the hands of the police, he would be in trouble. So he said with red eyes, "Mr. Tang, you are lucky today! But one day, I will make you die in my hands, just wait!" As he said that, he ran to open a window, jumped out and ran away.
I held Fan Yunting horizontally, and there was no way I could chase him. Fan Yunting hugged my neck tightly, and I couldn't let her go, so I had to ask, "Mr. Fan, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Fan Yunting shook her head and buried her face in my neck happily. Soon, the 110 police car arrived. Everything that followed was nothing more than investigating and collecting evidence, and sending the victim to the hospital for treatment.
I stayed at the police station to record my statement until almost twelve o'clock, when Hua Jingjing found me. She saw me and asked anxiously, "Tang Qian, what happened? I called your cell phone, but why didn't you answer? Where's my cell phone?"
Cell phones? I smiled bitterly, thinking that both phones were still in my car. Maybe they were scrapped along with my car?
As soon as I stood up, Hua Jingjing threw herself into my arms and cried, "Hubby, I was so worried about you. Next time, you can't leave me alone to take risks. I'll be scared to death!"
I hugged her and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'm fine. It's an emergency and there's nothing I can do. I'll tell you what happened when I'm done here."
After recording the confession, Hua Jingjing and I went to the hospital to visit Fan Yunting. On the way, I told Hua Jingjing what happened. Hua Jingjing said angrily: "We haven't settled the score with Shi Huaizhong for the last time he informed on others, and this time he did something worse than an animal. I'll tell my dad to send someone to give him a good beating!"
I smiled and said, "Let's just hand it over to the police. He has violated the criminal law this time and there is no way he can escape."
We saw Fan Yunting in the emergency room of the hospital. She was very happy to see me, but when she saw Hua Jingjing beside me, her eyes dimmed and she looked a little unhappy.
I comforted Fan and asked the female police officer who was guarding her a few words. After knowing that they would protect Fan Yunting, Hua Jingjing and I left with peace of mind.
While walking on the road, Hua Jingjing suddenly asked, "You once said that you loved a woman deeply, right?"
I was shocked. I wondered why she suddenly brought this up. Could it be...
Hua Jingjing stopped, stared at my face and said with a smile: "This woman is Fan Yunting, right?"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What on earth was going on? I could only ask, "Jingjing, what are you talking about?"
Hua Jingjing said, "Huh! You still don't admit it? Just now, when you received the call, your face changed immediately. You looked extremely anxious. You even left your fiancée behind and rushed to save her. If it wasn't the woman you loved, would you be so anxious?"
I said with a smile: "Please! Human lives are at stake! How can I not be anxious? Ms. Fan is my boss after all, and I still rely on her for a living!"
"Don't give me that! Fan Yunting is in danger, why did she only call you? Wouldn't it be better to call the police? Just now I saw that when she saw you, she immediately acted like she saw a relative, and wanted to throw herself into your arms immediately. But when she saw me, she immediately turned into a sad face, with an extremely resentful look. Tang Qian, can you explain why this happened?"
I... have a headache. I stroked my head and said with a wry smile, "Jingjing, that woman is really not Ms. Fan. Please stop guessing, okay? I have a headache. Please let me be quiet for a while!"
Hua Jingjing knew that I was hit on the head by Shi Huaizhong, so she came over to rub my temple. While rubbing, she pouted and said, "You really can abandon me for a woman. It doesn't matter if you don't confess now, but when you go back, I'll do you a favor... Humph!"
I looked at Jingjing, who was jealous and narrow-minded, and thought that she was going to charge me with a crime just for Fan Yunting. What would happen if she knew about my affair with Xu Shu? Oh! What a headache...
I hailed a taxi and sent Hua Jingjing back home. When I met my father-in-law, I first thanked him for telling me the address of Shi Huaizhong's studio, and then explained to him what had happened.
The old father-in-law couldn't help but sigh and said, "I never expected it. I have watched Xiao Shi grow up, but I didn't expect him to be such a person. What a pity! What a pity!"
By the time I said goodbye and went home, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
I took a taxi back to my old house. I had lived here for many years, and I would be moving out soon. I opened the door and went to the bathroom to wash up. I yawned and walked into the bedroom in my slippers.
I was so sleepy that I didn't even turn on the light. I went to bed, lifted the quilt and crawled in. Suddenly, I heard someone laugh in the quilt, a pair of soft hands surrounded me, a fragrant body came close to me, and whispered in my ear: "You're back? Brother Tang Qian!"
