You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?
Chapter 26: Tears of a Beauty, Blood of a Hero – I give this self-inflicted injury a perfect score!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The heavy thud of combat boots approached from afar, and a large number of heavily armed SWAT team members finally rushed in, their dark gun barrels instantly filling every corner of the auditorium.
What they saw was an extremely horrific scene.
In the center of the stage, a man in a tuxedo is embedded in a broken piano, his fate unknown.
Below the stage, a young girl was bound by countless threads and had already lost consciousness.
When Li Mingyu, who was slumped on the ground, saw the main force arrive, it was as if he had finally found his lost soul.
He scrambled to his feet, pointed at the second floor, and roared at the top of his lungs:
"Quick! Help! Lin Chen has been shot with an arrow!"
All eyes immediately focused on the second floor.
There, Lin Chen's figure still stood tall like a pine tree, but the shirt on his left shoulder was soaked with blood.
The crisis has been averted.
The overwhelming rage that had sustained Lin Chen beyond his physical limits receded from his body like a receding tide.
What followed was an overwhelming wave of excruciating pain.
The wound on my left shoulder felt like it had been scalded by a red-hot iron, burning with pain.
The right arm that caught the chandelier with one hand was constantly spasming, every muscle fiber was screaming, and the bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
Lin Chen swayed, his face as pale as paper.
"Lin Chen!"
A heart-wrenching cry, tinged with sobs, pierced the air.
Su Qingge rushed upstairs like a madwoman, disregarding everything.
At that moment, she couldn't care about anything else.
Forget about being the head of the serious crimes unit, forget about being an icy policewoman; when they saw the bloody, mangled hole in Lin Chen's shoulder, all their reason and strength crumbled.
She rushed to Lin Chen, looked at his swaying body, reached out her hand but then hesitated in mid-air, afraid that touching him would worsen his pain.
"How...how are you?"
Her voice trembled uncontrollably, and for the first time, her usually cool phoenix eyes lost focus. Hot tears welled up uncontrollably, washing over her dusty, pretty face and leaving a disheveled look.
Looking at her tear-streaked face, Lin Chen's ruthless killing intent subtly dissipated.
He forced a smile, raised his bloodied right arm, as if to wipe away her tears.
Su Qingge subconsciously closed her eyes.
However, the warm hand stopped just centimeters from her cheek.
Then, it drooped limply.
Lin Chen's body went limp, and he fell straight forward.
Su Qingge suddenly opened her eyes, and without thinking, opened her arms and caught him tightly in her embrace.
The man's weight was heavier than she had imagined, causing her to stagger back two steps before she could barely regain her balance.
Warm blood quickly seeped into her police uniform, staining her chest red.
The scalding heat burned her skin, and even more so, it burned her heart.
"Lin Chen! Don't scare me! Lin Chen!"
She held him in her arms, feeling the weight of his body in her embrace.
An unprecedented fear gripped her heart.
She cried out, her voice filled with despair and helplessness, all traces of her usual calm and competence gone.
"Call an ambulance! Quickly!!"
The entire auditorium was thrown into complete chaos by her cry.
Lin Chen, nestled in Su Qingge's arms and enveloped by her amazing softness, quietly closed his eyes.
The excruciating pain was real.
It's true that I'm exhausted.
But with his enhanced physique, he really wouldn't have fainted outright.
The abnormal recovery ability brought about by the enhanced physical fitness has actually begun to repair damaged muscles and nerves.
only……
How many times in a lifetime can one have the chance to experience such a soft and fragrant embrace?
Seeing her crying so pitifully, if you miss this chance, who knows when you'll get another one.
Deep within Lin Chen's consciousness, a small figure was screaming frantically.
Brother, remember this moment!
This self-inflicted injury tactic deserves full marks!
……
three days later.
Jiangcheng Central Hospital, top-floor special care ward.
Lin Chen's eyelashes trembled slightly as he regained consciousness.
There was no glaring sunlight, only the faint smell of disinfectant filling my nostrils, and the tingling, itchy, and healing sensation from the wound on my left shoulder.
The arm injury is just a muscle strain and is nothing serious.
He slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, and then froze.
To the left of the hospital bed, Su Qingge was sitting in a chair.
She changed out of her sharp police uniform and into a simple white T-shirt and jeans, losing some of her fierceness and gaining a more approachable and girl-next-door charm.
Her eyes were still slightly red and swollen. She was looking down, holding an apple and a fruit knife, and was peeling the apple with extreme concentration.
However, the knife skills were truly appalling.
The apple peel was peeled so badly it looked like a dog had gnawed on it, with thick and thin pieces, and large chunks of fruit were pulled off with it.
A perfectly good Fuji apple, after being turned around in her hand a few times, has almost shriveled up to the size of a walnut.
To the right of the hospital bed was Su Ke'er.
The little girl's complexion had improved considerably, and she was carefully carrying a bowl of steaming chicken soup.
She gently blew on the spoon and then held it up in the air.
Those big, watery eyes looked expectantly at Lin Chen, who was "unconscious" on the hospital bed, as if they were waiting for him to wake up so they could feed him as soon as possible.
On the left is a cool and aloof policewoman peeling an apple for you.
On the right is a sweet teacher waiting for you to give her some inspirational words.
Lin Chen's heart instantly burst with joy.
Good guy.
This treatment is simply royal!
In order not to break the beautiful atmosphere, he decided to remain "unconscious" for a little longer.
However, the day did not fulfill everyone's wish.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Lin Chen couldn't help but cough twice, his throat itching, feigning weakness.
Those two soft coughs were like two bombs dropped on a calm lake.
"Whoosh!"
The two girls on either side of the hospital bed stiffened at the same time and suddenly raised their heads.
"Clatter".
The apple in Su Qing's singing fell to the ground.
"oops!"
Su Ke'er's hand wobbled, spilling a few drops of chicken soup onto the back of her hand, causing her to gasp in surprise.
But neither of them cared about any of that.
Two equally beautiful, yet strikingly different, faces simultaneously came close to Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen! You're awake?"
"How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Two concerned voices rang out almost simultaneously.
In an instant, the air in the ward became somewhat subtle.
Su Qingge and Su Ke'er exchanged a glance.
One gaze was cold and scrutinizing.
One look was innocent, yet it revealed a stubbornness that refused to back down.
In the air, it seemed as if invisible sparks were crackling.
A war without gunfire seems to be about to begin.
Lin Chen lay on the bed, feeling the atmosphere that was like a rehearsal for a battleground, and was pondering whose question to answer first so that he could treat everyone equally.
Just then.
"Squeak—"
The door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, a loud, energetic voice rang out.
"Son, Mom has come to see you!"
"How did he get injured out of nowhere? I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen it on the news!"
