Chapter 154: Fire

~7 min read 1,259 words

In the pitch-black cabin, Chu Yehan's pair of emerald green eyes flashed with cold and ruthless light.

Shi Xi was so frightened that her legs went weak, and her whole body trembled like chaff.

"Young Master Chu, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong... Call the police and arrest me, I won't run anymore, I'll go to prison, okay, I'll go to prison, okay..."

"Hahahahaha!"

Chu Yehan looked up to the sky and laughed, the chilling laughter echoing in the empty cabin.

"Regret it?"

His large hand patted Shi Xi's cheek, looking interested:

"The police were just on the shore, just a few hundred meters away from you. Why didn't you turn yourself in? Why didn't you ask for their help? Hahaha, it's too late to regret now."

"For all these years, I have been desperately looking for a way to get rid of you without the whole world finding out. There's no way around it; that brother of yours is someone I can't afford to offend."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door in the end. This is God helping me!"

Hearing Chu Yehan's words, Shi Xi trembled all over and fell to her knees with a "plop."

She began to kowtow "thump, thump, thump."

After just a few times, her head was broken and bleeding, and the bright red blood flowed down her forehead, flowing into the black hole where her eye was missing, sinister and ugly.

At this moment, she was like a stray dog.

"Young Master Chu, please spare me. For the rest of my life, I'll be a cow or a horse for you, okay... I'll atone for my sins, atone for your sister's sins! You can make me do anything! Please... don't kill me... don't kill me..."

Chu Yehan raised his large foot and kicked Shi Xi hard in the chest.

"Beg me? Heh, have you ever thought that my sister once begged you!"

"You locked the only door that could lead to escape! You left my sister alone in the sea of fire, and she knelt at the door, enduring the scorching fire, screaming for help with all her might, begging you to open the door for her..."

Chu Yehan's eyes were covered with thick red blood, his leather shoes stepped on Shi Xi's chest, and he exerted force bit by bit.

Finally, he stepped down with a "bang."

"Did you save her?!"

Shi Xi vomited a mouthful of blood in pain.

She finally understood that it was useless; no matter how she begged, it was useless. Chu Yehan's hatred for her was bone-deep!

He couldn't let her go!

"Hehehehe, kill me, kill me..."

Shi Xi's mouth curled into a desolate smile; at this moment, she just wanted to end the pain sooner.

Chu Yehan suddenly released his foot.

He sneered, squatted down, leaned into Shi Xi's ear, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Killing you just like that would be too easy for you. I want you to experience... the pain my sister once experienced!"

After saying this, Chu Yehan turned and walked out.

Only a "bang" was heard as the cabin door was closed, followed by a "click."

The sound wasn't loud, but it felt as if it had slapped Shi Xi directly in the heart.

She scrambled up from the floor, stumbled to the door, and found that the door was indeed locked; no matter how she pushed, she couldn't open it.

"Open the door, open the door!"

However, the only answer was the "buzzing" sound of the engine.

Just then, a blast of dry, hot air suddenly blew out from the air conditioner! The hot wind came aggressively, soon enveloping the entire cabin and raising the temperature to a terrifying level.

Immediately after, a "swish" sound was heard.

A wooden box in the corner suddenly ignited a ball of fire!

Shi Xi hurriedly took off her coat and slapped at the flames in a panic, barely managing to extinguish the ball of fire.

She finally saw what was in the bottom of the boxes:

It was actually cotton wool mixed with white phosphorus!

However, the air was getting hotter and hotter, and the ignition point of white phosphorus was only 40 degrees. Even if Shi Xi extinguished one ball of fire, more flames ignited, and in an instant, all the wooden boxes in the cabin were burning!

The raging fire spread throughout the cabin.

"No, no..."

In Shi Xi's eye, which was full of horror, the scarlet flames were reflected. She knelt at the door, like Chu Mengrou ten years ago, painfully and desperately hitting the door.

Even her fingernails were bloody from the scratching.

"Please, open the door, open the door!"

"Let me out..."

"Let me out..."

On the other side, the ambulance stopped urgently outside the abandoned warehouse, and the woman, covered in blood and in a deep coma, was carried into the car.

"Only one family member can follow in the car!"

The doctor decisively stopped the two big men who wanted to get in the car at the same time.

Qin Haobei looked at Xiao Shiliu, who was crying uncontrollably not far away, gritted his teeth, and said with a firm gaze:

"I'll go take care of the child, you follow Xing'er, and we'll meet at the hospital!"

Shi Heng nodded.

"Understood."

*Sob, sob, sob*—

The ambulance sped along the road, and the rain hit the carriage with a "thump, thump" sound.

"Blood pressure 70/40, still dropping!"

The little nurse's voice trembled, her fingers sliding quickly across the monitor, and the green waveform representing blood pressure on the screen continued to drop like a dying heartbeat.

"Oxygen saturation 82%, respiratory rate 12 times/minute... the patient's condition is very dangerous!"

Shi Heng's heart sank suddenly. In an instant, immense panic grabbed his heart like a giant hand.

He held Shi Yi's pale wrist and said in a pleading tone:

"Yi'er, hold on, please hold on!"

"We'll be at the hospital soon... just hold on a little longer, Brother is here with you..."

The attending doctor pushed Shi Heng away, walked up, carefully examined Shi Yi's body, and asked quickly.

"Does the patient have any medical history?"

"Medical history?"

Shi Heng was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that he knew nothing about Shi Yi's medical history.

He didn't even know... how she survived back then?

"I... I'm not sure... I only know she is missing a kidney..."

"What, missing a kidney?! Besides that, are there any other diseases?"

"She... she should have been injected with the Ebola virus, but..."

"But what?"

Shi Heng wasn't sure now whether what Shi Yi was injected with on the live broadcast three years ago was really the Ebola virus. If it was a real virus, could she really have lived until now?

"Doctor, I, I don't know... I really don't know..."

Shi Heng buried his face deep in his palms, almost collapsing.

"Epinephrine, 1 mg, intravenous push!"

The doctor ignored Shi Heng and ordered with his head down. The nurse beside him "snapped" open the ampoule bottle, and the needle pierced Shi Yi's vein precisely.

Shi Yi's eyelashes trembled imperceptibly.

However, in the next second, the monitor's alarm suddenly sounded, and the sharp, long sound pierced Shi Heng's eardrum like a steel needle.

"Blood pressure value dropped below 60!"

The doctor tore off the oxygen mask from Shi Yi's mouth and nose, leaned over to perform artificial respiration on Shi Yi, and ordered:

"Prepare for defibrillation!" ===== CHAPTER 155 =====
