Chapter 1218: The Bad Guy Has Chased Her to Jiangzhou

"Bang!"

The door was shut.

Yun Qitian reacted quickly, shouting loudly, "Ranran, hide quickly!" Before his voice had even faded, he had already been struck unconscious by the intruder.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" Shi Ran did not scream loudly, because it was useless.

The intruder had martial arts skills, and very good ones at that.

The move that had just struck Yun Qitian unconscious was so fast that she hadn't even seen how the hand was thrown, and the man who prided himself on being the best bodyguard for beauties was already senseless.

If she screamed, before she could even make a sound, the result would be the same as Yun Qitian's!

The intruder looked young, but his expression was stiff and unnatural; Shi Ran immediately judged that he was wearing a Human Skin Mask, not his original face.

Who could this person be?

Although she hadn't gotten an answer yet, she had a pretty good idea in her heart.

Her calmness surprised the intruder, but he was quite satisfied.

He threatened viciously, "Don't you dare scream, otherwise I will kill you immediately. Come with me!"

Shi Ran: "I can't walk, I'm injured. Why don't you go push a gurney over? A wheelchair will do too." She was stalling for time.

Kidnapper:...

"Do you think I'm stupid, huh? You only have a hairline fracture in your arm, your legs are perfectly fine, why can't you walk?"

Shi Ran: "You must have read that from the hospital medical records, right? That was written blindly, it was only written that way so my grandparents wouldn't worry."

"In reality, my leg is also fractured. If you don't believe me, look at the X-rays; the X-rays are in the cabinet under the nightstand."

The kidnapper suspected Shi Ran was playing tricks; her mother was cunning, and this woman looked just like her mother.

"Cut the crap, come with me immediately. If you can't walk, crawl if you have to!"

He was just saying it casually, but who knew she would actually fall off the bed and start crawling toward the door, baring her teeth and looking extremely pained.

"Stop crawling." The kidnapper stopped her.

If she went out looking like this, she wouldn't even need to speak to immediately attract a crowd of onlookers.

"Offense taken."

As he spoke, he prepared to use his hands to knock her unconscious; it would be easier to take her away if she were unconscious.

"Wait a moment!"

Shi Ran stopped him and asked, "Big brother, what did you come here for? If it's for money, there's no need to go to such great lengths. Whatever you want, I'll give you."

"You can't afford it!"

The kidnapper prepared to strike for the second time, only to be stopped by Shi Ran again: "Wait, you want to kidnap me to demand the Treasure from my parents, right? I advise you not to waste your effort, we can't get out of this hospital..."

The kidnapper's patience was exhausted. He didn't want to hear Shi Ran's nonsense anymore and was just about to strike for the third time when the door was kicked open from the outside with a "Bang!"

The huge sound of the door being kicked open jolted Yun Qitian awake.

"Ranran, I'll protect you!"

The first thing he did upon waking up was to save Shi Ran, without any thought for his own safety.

Before Shi Ran could stop him, Yun Qitian was struck unconscious by the villain for the second time.

After striking Yun Qitian unconscious, the kidnapper grabbed Shi Ran and took her to the window, opening it to threaten: "Stand back! If you take another step forward, I'll throw her down."

Shi Ran was held by the throat by the villain, standing by the window, unable to speak!

Were the two burly men at the door there to save her?

But why were their faces unfamiliar?

She had never seen them before.

"Liu Quan, don't do anything reckless. Let her go and I'll go with you."

A familiar voice, and also a voice Shi Ran did not want to hear.

Qi Heng had arrived.

He appeared at the door, and the two people who had just kicked the door open immediately stepped aside; it turned out they were Qi Heng's men.

Shi Ran turned her head to look at the white wall, refusing to look at him.

She didn't want him to look at her either.

Dressed in a hospital gown, hair disheveled, face completely bare—Shi Ran did not want Qi Heng to see her like this.

She didn't mind being bare-faced in front of Yun Qitian, but she minded being seen by Qi Heng when she wasn't looking her best.

However, it wasn't up to her now; from the moment Qi Heng appeared, his gaze had remained fixed on her face and never shifted.

"Let her go, and I can agree to any of your conditions."

Seeing his identity exposed, Liu Quan didn't hide it anymore. He laughed mockingly: "Hahahaha... Qi Heng, did you run all this way just to be a comedian? You'll agree to any of my conditions? I want you to jump down from here; can you do that?"

"I can. As long as you let her go, I can jump down." He agreed without any hesitation.

He walked toward the two of them step by step... "Stop!"

Liu Quan shouted for him to stop, his face full of vigilance, and the hand gripping Shi Ran's throat applied two more parts of force.

She immediately felt unable to breathe and coughed non-stop, "Cough, cough."

Shi Ran grabbed Liu Quan's hand with both of hers, trying hard to pry it away, attempting to give herself a chance to breathe.

But she failed.

The harder she struggled, the tighter Liu Quan clamped down!

"Let her go, she can't breathe." Sweat was constantly breaking out on Qi Heng's forehead; he was truly nervous.

Half of Shi Ran's body was already dangling outside the window. This was over twenty stories up; if she fell... the consequences would be unimaginable.

So Liu Quan loosened his grip just a little bit.

The commotion in the Hospital Ward alerted the people outside, and more and more people gathered.

Ji Yingjie shouted from outside: "Liu Quan, you bastard, you son of a bitch! What kind of hero are you, picking on a little girl because you can't handle me?"

"Let her go and I'll go with you; I'm the only one who knows where the things you want are."

Liu Quan ignored her and instead ordered Qi Heng: "Tell that old hag outside to shut up. If she says one more word, I'll strangle your sweetheart."

Ji Yingjie didn't need anyone to relay the message; she had already heard it herself.

She immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.

Liu Quan was anxious to leave this place; the more people there were outside, the more disadvantageous it was for him.

He controlled Shi Ran as they walked out, making Qi Heng walk in front of him as a human shield, fearing that a sniper might be aiming at him.

With Qi Heng as a human shield and Shi Ran as a hostage, he had a high chance of escaping.

Liu Quan kept both of them under control and took the elevator to the roof.

He blocked the door leading to the roof so that the people inside could not come up.

With the door blocked and no other way out, both of them realized that Liu Quan intended to leave by helicopter.

The roof was very flat, with more than enough space to park several helicopters.

Qi Heng did not stay idle and negotiated with Liu Quan: "Let her go. She is injured and will only be a burden to carry. You can take me as a hostage instead; you will still be able to escape Jiangzhou safely."

Liu Quan: "Qi Heng, do you still think I'm someone with simple limbs and a simple mind? You still want to treat me like a pawn of your Qi Family and play me for a fool?"

Qi Heng: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Liu Quan laughed out loud and mocked: "Not bad, you're much smarter than before. People really do need to suffer losses to gain experience; a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. You've even learned how to play dumb."

"You have much more depth than before; you are a teachable child..."

Liu Quan changed his tone and laughed sinisterly: "Qi Heng, stop putting on that hypocritical act in front of me. It's better if we speak plainly. You must already know that I killed your parents, right?"

Qi Heng dug his fingernails deeply into his flesh.

That was correct; he already knew.

The moment he learned the truth, he slapped himself over a dozen times, back and forth!

Because he had been a poor judge of character, mistaking a villain for a good person and a good person for a murderer.

As a result, he had done many wrong things, and they were the kind that could never be undone!
