Chapter 534: Took the Bait

Quan Shaoteng looked at his watch.

Time moved too slowly.

He walked to the window and peered downstairs…

It was very crowded and noisy. The mist from the firefighter’s water hose was several feet high. The evacuees were all outside the boundary, and there were still people coming out of the buildings. As the hospital was located in the downtown area, the rising smoke and flames attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding people.

The fire was much worse than what he had expected!

They had set up a boundary.

No one was allowed to go in, but people could leave.

However, there were some faint sounds of footsteps coming from outside.

Seems like someone had taken the bait and had come for Cui Jiaying.

Nevertheless, the other party was more cunning than expected.

For that person actually came to this ward instead of going after the decoy.

Quan Shaoteng squinted his eyes for an instant and immediately pulled out the gun from his gun holster at the waist as he swiftly hid himself behind the door—

Screech—

The door opened.

A waft of smoke drifted in.

Then the door closed.

That person was wearing a white doctor’s coat. He looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed and adjusted his mask unhurriedly, wanting to walk over to her.

Quan Shaoteng pointed the gun at the man. “Don’t move!”

The man’s back went stiff, he stopped walking and turned his head.

Although the mask had covered the man’s face, Quan Shaoteng was certain that this was a face that he had not seen before.

“Don’t move! My bullets do not have eyes. If you don’t listen to me, you’ll be the next patient just like her…”

“Indeed…” That man’s gaze darkened. “The police is actually resorting to lying so blatantly?”

“Lying?” Quan Shaoteng gave a laugh and stared at the man. “When did I lie to you?”

That man snorted coldly, “The police said that she had come around.”

Quan Shaoteng retorted, “Who told you that she has come around?”

That man shut his mouth and didn’t answer him.

He was a smart person.

There was no point arguing about this here.

Quan Shaoteng smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly frowned.

Outside the window, the smoke was getting thicker and stronger. They could even smell the thick smoke although the windows were closed.

The man revealed a proud smirk. “When I was coming up, I also set the storeroom downstairs on fire. It’s full of bed sheets and quilt covers. There are a lot of flammables in there!”

Cough! Cough!

Quan Shaoteng’s throat itched slightly, he could feel that the fire was close.

He saw flames amongst the heavy smoke through the glass window.

“You’re quite bleeping bold. Not afraid of death?”

“If I’m afraid of death, why would I come here?” That man remarked with a sneer.

Quan Shaoteng loaded his gun as he commanded coldly, “Hands on your head, squat down!”

“Cough, cough! Cough…” That man coughed due to the smoke and started to laugh. “I’m not afraid of death. Do you think I will listen to you?”

With that, he turned around and rushed towards the hospital bed.

So he wanted to resist till the end?

He didn’t want his life! Hmph.

However, Quan Shaoteng wanted to keep his life!

Yes! Right from the beginning, he never wanted to kill this man.

Quan Shaoteng rushed up to him and kicked the man at the knees. The man fell down and he quickly grabbed his arms and locked his legs. But he didn’t expect that the man was so fearless—that man managed to turn to face Quan Shaoteng by sacrificing his arms. Quan Shaoteng had firmly secured his arms, so by forcibly turning to face him, the arms would get dislocated. In an instant, when the sounds of bones dislocating were heard, that man had turned and opened his mouth, wanting to bite Quan Shaoteng in the face.

“D*mmit!”

Quan Shaoteng didn’t expect the man to behave so crazily.

The former tilted his head and avoided that desperate bite. With a sneer, Quan Shaoteng then directly smashed his forehead onto his.

Thud!

That man did not expect that Quan Shaoteng would do this as well and felt dizzy all over. The veins were even showing on his forehead under the impact and pain.

“D*mn!” Quan Shaoteng was swearing. “You want to see who’s more ruthless and tough? You should check out who you’re dealing with first!”

With that, Quan Shaoteng pinned that man to the ground, locked his arms and his knees on his legs. That man was now completely immobilized.

Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!

That man was gasping and coughing loudly.

After using so much strength, Quan Shaoteng started to cough as well.

“Don’t worry! You won’t die. Cough, cough…”

“I’m not afraid of death… Cough, cough. I just feel bad for you… Cough, cough…” That man laughed while coughing. “Just look, you have a good life ahead of you. Cough, cough…” He started to gasp for air and had difficulty talking. “People with a bad life like me… death is nothing to us… Cough! But you’re different… If I were you, I would have escaped… the fire will reach here soon…”

“Hurhurhur… Cough!”

Quan Shaoteng was so angry that he laughed. “Who do you think I am? Do you think I will be moved just because of your words? You’re too naive!”

Cough, cough, cough…

That man laughed and coughed at the same time but didn’t talk anymore.

Quan Shaoteng was very clear that if he continued to stay here, even if he could stand it, the unconscious Cui Jiaying and this man wouldn’t be able to take it. In a fire, the cause of death in eight out of ten people were caused by suffocation. Hence, they need to evacuate immediately…

But how was he going to do that?

He was alone. He knew that he was unable to move the two of them out by himself.

Moreover, he was not certain if this was another trap laid by the Dark Clan?

His mobile phone kept ringing but Quan Shaoteng didn’t answer it.

The two of them had a staring contest, as if they were pitting against each other to see who had more endurance when the man suddenly turned his head away to look at the Cui Jiaying. Quan Shaoteng noticed that his gaze didn’t seem quite right…

Quan Shaoteng was immediately alerted and he quickly clasped the man’s chin…

However, he was still too slow.

The man had chewed the poison he had hidden in his mouth beforehand.

He pursed his lips and looked at Quan Shaoteng with indignance. “I won’t tell anything about what the police wanted to know. What the police wanted to know… would never come out from my mouth… Cough, cough… Cough, cough… Of course, that includes her…”

He was gasping when he said those words and he took a look at the woman on the hospital bed.

And, at that very second…

At that very second, Cui Jiaying, who was in a coma, suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked at him, as though time had come to a halt.

The man was stunned and looked at Cui Jiaying with disbelief.

“You…” He was gasping and could only say a word.

Cui Jiaying opened her mouth. But it was clear that she couldn’t say a word. She tried to say something but nothing came out of her mouth, she couldn’t even cough…

The man’s shoulders went stiff and used all remaining strength he had to shout at Quan Shaoteng.

“Save her! Quick—save her!”

At the same time, the door to the ward was flung open.

The people who rushed into the ward was Bai Muchuan, Ding Yifan, Cheng Zheng and Director Ye another doctor from the hospital.

Quan Shaoteng looked at Cui Jiaying who was out of breath. “Quick! Save her—”

…

They quickly started to move.

Two hospital stretchers were moving amidst the smoke. They were now trying to get out of the building.

The atmosphere was extremely tense as they ran and tried to keep the two alive.

Cui Jiaying’s head turned to look at the man. “You’re… here to kill me?”

The man was also looking at her but he couldn’t speak already.

His gaze was starting to lose focus and his hand slowly lost strength.

“Doctor, I… quick… save him… please… save him…” Cui Jiaying was suddenly agitated. She was currently too weak and didn’t have enough strength. Otherwise, she would have dashed over to him.

Director Ye’s expression and mood was really grave.

It was already difficult enough to save someone in a fire.

Moreover, this was someone who had taken poison.

Cheng Zheng checked that man and looked at Bai Muchuan.

“It’s too late.”

“Mm?” Bai Muchuan’s eyes dimmed.

“It should be cyanide poisoning.” Director Ye also shook his head. “He has passed away!”
