Chapter 1134: Identity Exposed, the Fish Died but the Net Remained Intact
The three of them feigned compliance with his arrangements and walked toward the thatched cottage—but they did not walk together; instead, they spread out.
Liu Min was closest to Zhu Qingxiang, followed by Qi Heng.
Shi Ran was the furthest away, but since she was on the opposite side in a straight line, she could see her directly.
"Ah!"
A very small stone successfully "tripped" Shi Ran, causing her to stagger.
"Ranran!"
Qi Heng's eyes were fixed on Shi Ran, and while he shouted her name, he lunged directly toward Zhu Qingxiang!
At the same time, Liu Min also made her move.
Her strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
With one hand, she snatched the Dagger from Zhu Qingxiang's hand, and with the other, she snatched the remote control.
Both actions were completed simultaneously; before Zhu Qingxiang could even react, he was tackled by Qi Heng, who then immediately performed a kip-up to jump to his feet and kicked Zhu Qingxiang down the earthen slope!
The entire sequence of movements was fluid and completed in no more than two seconds.
Then Liu Min threw herself onto Yun Qitian, while Qi Heng quickly returned to shield Shi Ran, fearing the bomb on his body might explode.
They waited for over ten seconds, but there was no movement at all.
The quality of the bomb on Zhu Qingxiang's body was quite good, and its stability was high; without the remote control, it would not detonate on its own!
"Wake up, Yun Qitian, wake up."
Liu Min shouted and shook him vigorously, but it was useless; Yun Qitian had no reaction at all.
Shi Ran walked over, picked up a cup of tea at random, and splashed it directly onto his face—*Swish! *
"What are you doing?"
Liu Min was displeased: "The water is problematic, and you still splash it on him? Can he even wake up from this?"
"Ugh—"
Yun Qitian made a sound and woke up.
Shi Ran explained: "The problematic water is all in the bucket; the water on the table is fine. We were all tricked."
Yun Qitian discovered that everyone standing before him was on his side, and he was both surprised and delighted.
His way of expressing his joy was quite unique; he hugged Liu Min and cried.
"Wuu wuu wuu, did the bad guy run away? I'm saved, right? Let's leave here immediately; it's so damn scary..."
He was too terrified, and his crying was loud enough to wake Zhu Qingxiang, who was at the bottom of the earthen slope.
Zhu Qingxiang felt as if all the bones in his body had fallen apart; it seemed his lower leg was fractured, and any slight movement caused piercing pain!
He glanced upward; very good, the people above had not discovered he was awake.
Yun Qitian was still wailing, and the three of them had all their attention on him.
He quietly removed the bomb from his body; since the remote control was not on him, he couldn't detonate it, so he might as well run—as long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood.
He couldn't stand up, and standing up would make him an easy target anyway.
So, he quietly crawled forward.
Ten-plus meters ahead was a field of rapeseed flowers.
The lush green rapeseed had grown over a meter tall; if someone hid inside, it wouldn't be easy to find them.
His plan was sound, but he had crawled less than three meters before he was discovered.
Shi Ran shouted: "Zhu Qingxiang is awake, he's trying to run."
Liu Min immediately arrived at the edge of the earthen slope, pulled out the Dagger from behind her waist, and prepared to throw it.
Shi Ran cautioned: "Don't kill him, I want him alive; his brother Zhu Qingrui hasn't been caught yet."
"Got it."
"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"
Four streaks of light flashed by, and four identical Daggers, glinting with cold light, accurately pinned Zhu Qingxiang's arms and legs respectively.
"Ah!"
He couldn't help but let out a miserable scream!
Liu Min was very smug: "Run, why don't you keep running?"
"This young lady still has two more throwing darts, both prepared for you; if you run again, I'll pin them to your neck." She was extremely arrogant, and she kept her word.
Zhu Qingxiang indeed stopped running.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run, nor was he scared; he had passed out from the pain.
"Wuu—wuu—wuu—" The sound of police sirens came from afar.
The sound grew closer and closer; they were coming toward them.
"Who called the police?" Liu Min looked bewildered.
Shi Ran said smugly: "My mom did, of course. She must have called the police as soon as she received my call."
That was exactly what happened.
First, she knew that her daughter and the group of four were going to meet Hong Yileng.
Second, Hong Yileng was highly suspicious, and she and her husband suspected that the person might be Zhu Qingxiang in disguise.
Third, her daughter's phone call proved the second guess was correct.
Fourth, proving the third point was simple, because her daughter never believed in supernatural nonsense, let alone fortune-telling!
Fifth, when the call was made, her daughter had it on speakerphone; judging by the background noise on the phone, she must have been outside and was definitely being monitored.
The reason Shi Youxuan said so much on the phone, besides paralyzing the opponent, was for the very important purpose of pinpointing the location.
She called the police immediately after hanging up, which is why the police arrived so quickly!
Yun Qitian and Zhu Qingxiang were sent to the hospital for treatment at the same time.
……
Airport.
Shi Youxuan arrived at the airport, and the man surnamed Zhao was indeed waiting there.
"Hand the pendant over to me."
"Seize him."
Shi Youxuan did not give him any pendant, not even a fake one.
Instead, with a wave of her hand, Nianyin and Lao Qi quickly stepped forward, easily subdued the man, and twisted his hands behind his back.
Police cars were waiting not far away; there was no need to return to the police station, as they began the interrogation immediately inside the car.
The man surnamed Zhao confessed very quickly.
He had been entrusted by someone to come to the airport to pick up an item; the employer had found him on a certain recruitment website, and he had never even met the person, knowing only the employer's phone number and name.
The employer claimed to be surnamed Hong.
The task requested of him was not complicated: just retrieve the pendant and take a flight to deliver it to a designated location.
The police investigated in detail, and this man was indeed clean; he had simply been used.
That address was one of the places where Zhu Qingxiang was hiding, only he would never have the chance to retrieve it again!
Hospital.
School leaders, along with many famous surgeons, went to find Liu Min.
They sought to understand the situation from Liu Min, asking her how the knife had been stabbed.
The few stabs she had made were very precise, landing exactly on the arteries; if the knife were pulled out carelessly, it would easily cause massive hemorrhaging, which was no laughing matter.
Liu Min's large eyes sparkled: "Let me go into the operating room to perform the surgery? I studied medicine, and I studied clinical practice too; since I was the one who stabbed the knife, there is no one more suitable than me to perform this surgery."
Such a request was, of course, refused without hesitation.
The reason was simple: it was against regulations.
Liu Min was also blunt: "If you don't let me perform the surgery on him, I won't say anything, you guys can play by yourselves... no, you guys can perform this surgery yourselves, and do it blindly."
"If you don't do it well, it will be a medical malpractice case, and you will bear the consequences yourselves."
Don't look at her as if she didn't study well; she knew the consequences better than anyone.
Doctors: ……
No, they didn't want to bear the consequences either.
In the end, it had to be the leader, who spoke a bunch of grand principles in a friendly manner; it sounded fine, but Liu Min remained unmoved.
"How about this, let's both take a step back, shall we? I won't be the lead surgeon, but letting me enter the operating room should be fine, right? Although I was the one who stabbed the knife, the distance was too far for me to see the exact position clearly, so I still need to see it up close to know."
Leader: "You will only enter the operating room and not perform any operations?"
"Mm-hmm."
"What if you go back on your word?"
No one had any confidence in Liu Min; although she was smiling on her face right now, it seemed as if the words "looking for trouble" were written all over it.
