Chapter 266: Chapter 266 - Song Mian Arrives
The toilets were separated into the men’s and the ladies’ . The latter was in the front . The former was in the back . Yun Xiangxiang pushed the ladies’ door and quickly ran past the basin before entering the men’s room .
As the washroom wasn’t in the sickbay, nobody was inside . And the floor was dry . She didn’t choose to hide in a cubicle . Instead, she leaned at the men’s door .
It was just a feint . She wanted to see if he could be tricked into checking the ladies . As long as he entered it, no matter how long he stayed there to check, she would have time to escape .
Her heart pounded in her chest . It was almost audible in the quiet washroom . The whole place seemed to be filled with the sound of her heart pounding .
The aircon in the washroom was making her shiver . It was a risky move . She chose this spot to see if she could buy enough time to run away . If he wasn’t fooled and came to the men’s first, he would see her the moment he came in .
He was coming . She could hear the loud footsteps . As he turned to the washroom, the ladies’ door was closed .
He didn’t think an eighteen-year-old like Yun Xiangxiang would be calm enough to come up with a trick to get past him . He went inside the ladies’ without hesitation .
Yun Xiangxiang used this split second to rush out and ran as fast as she could . But luck was not on her side this time . There was nobody in the ladies’ . All the doors were open .
There were only four cubicles . The man could see everything immediately . When he knew she wasn’t there, he quickly turned around . Yun Xiangxiang might have successfully left the washroom, but he was gaining on her .
“Bang!” A bullet shot past her and hit the chair in front of her .
The sound of the bullet wasn’t too loud . It was shot from a gun with a silencer . The voice said coldly, “Don’t move . One more step, and the next shot won’t miss . ”
Yun Xiangxiang stopped in her tracks . She turned around slowly . The man pointed his gun toward her . There were only ten steps between them .
“Ah, such a lovely, clever little girl,” he slowly closed to Yun Xiangxiang .
He was wearing a surgical mask, making him unidentifiable . He looked at Yun Xiangxiang, but there was no warmth in his gaze . He looked at her as if she was a piece of meat, waiting to be cut up . He was thinking about how to slice her up to glean the most satisfaction .
When he was two steps away from Yun Xiangxiang, a familiar figure slid down the building and swung into the corridor from the open window .
Yun Xiangxiang tried to contain her relief, worried she might give Song Mian away . But when she saw him making an impossible entrance like a superhero who came to her help at her darkest hour, she couldn’t keep her poker face, no matter how great an actress she was .
The maniac staring at Yun Xiangxiang was alerted to Song Mian’s presence . He turned around and was about to shoot when Song Mian’s kick had landed on his chest .
He was sent flying to the wall . Song Mian found his footing when he shot at him again . Song Mian noticed the attack and dodged in time . At the same time, he sent a knife flying at him .
As he dodged the bullet, his scalpel buried itself in the maniac’s body . Yun Xiangxiang took this chance to retreat a few steps . She pulled the gurney to her and crashed it into the maniac .
The maniac managed to dodge the gurney that was hurtling toward him, but he couldn’t evade Song Mian’s flying kick that landed on his waist . He grunted in pain and collapsed from it .
He wanted to pull the trigger again, but Song Mian managed to stop him . He tried to struggle free, but Song Mian pounded his arm against the wall until he let go of the gun .
The enemy was also a martial artist . He unleashed a fearsome wave of attacks at Song Mian . He broke free of Song Mian’s grasp, but his attacks didn’t hit Song Mian . He was getting agitated . Suddenly, a short blade appeared from the ring on his middle finger .
He sent wave after wave of attacks with his arms and feet, forcing Song Mian to retreat . Yun Xiangxiang was getting worried . Song Qian and Ai Li had returned by this time . They shielded Yun Xiangxiang .
Song Mian was cornered . As the maniac’s arm swung at him, Song Mian did a backflip, dodging his attack . Noticing his failed attack, he tried to stab downward but was caught by Song Mian .
Song Mian twisted the maniac’s arm, stiffening him . He pressed against the man along with the momentum . Yun Xiangxiang could hear the sound of something breaking . The maniac’s arm was bent to his chest at an unnatural angle .
“Mr . Song! Mr . Song! This man is a wanted criminal!” The police officer who came in shouted .
Song Mian didn’t care . He grabbed the man’s arm and stabbed his chest with his ring’s blade .
The light went out in the man’s cold eyes . He leaned against the wall, with no strength left to resist . Song Mian loosened his grip, and he collapsed into a heap . The officer went ahead to check up on the seemingly dead man, seemingly flustered .
“Mr . Song…,” the officer was annoyed, yet he resigned to his position .
“That won’t kill him,” Song Mian answered flatly before he left, taking Yun Xiangxiang’s hand .
They went to the underground parking lot . There wasn’t anyone there . Not even the reporters . Song Mian was still hugging her tightly even when they were in the car .
She tilted her head and saw him pursing his lips . His lower jaw was tense . Yun Xiangxiang whispered, “You’re angry, Ah Mian . ”
“En,” Song Mian replied curtly .
For the first time, Yun Xiangxiang was at a loss . She drew a line on Song Mian’s palm and pleaded, “Please don’t be mad, I didn’t know they would set this elaborate trap just to capture me . I’d still save them if they were strangers, let alone the innocent mother-and-child he crashed into just to capture me . ”
If she waited until the ambulance’s arrival, the mother-and-child would have already been dead . Even if they didn’t, it would be too late when they arrived at the hospital . She would feel guilty her whole life . Yun Xiangxiang didn’t regret her actions today, even if the maniac captured her .
If she were captured and hurt, her family would be disconsolate .
From the moment this became a conspiracy, there was no win-win situation . Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know it was a conspiracy though .
Song Mian held her tighter . He put his chin on her head, taking in the scent of her hair, “I’m mad at myself . ”
“Huh?” Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled .
“I didn’t keep you safe enough . ”
If he was even a moment later, Yun Xiangxiang might have died . If the man weren’t a maniac and were only after her life, he would have succeeded .
He shivered in fear . That was something he never felt since he was a kid .
