bodyguard against fate

Chapter 48 Saving Lives

"Number 356!"

A passing mental patient saw several people bullying Feng Weida and shouted, and immediately more than a dozen mental patients surrounded him.

Why did they call number 356?

"They weren't wearing uniforms!"

"Blood, blood..."

"They're going to kill Number 356! Fight them!"

The more chaotic the situation, the more important slogans become. At times like these, even a shout of "The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens shall rise!" can evoke a response. Suddenly, one of the mentally ill patients yelled, and a dozen or so pounced on Qiang Ge and his two companions, scratching, biting, tearing, and clawing. Qiang Ge and his two companions, though strong, couldn't withstand the sheer number of attackers. Seeing He Xiuli already lying on the ground, their mission accomplished.

"withdraw!"

The three people were beaten by the mentally ill man and had to run away with their heads in their hands.

One of the patients curiously picked up a phone from the ground, unaware that it was still live-streaming. Viewers were immediately struck by a bizarre face and Feng Weida and He Xiuli lying on the ground, covered in blood…

"Murder!"

Netizens exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of sirens, the police arrived immediately, protected the crime scene, organized medical personnel to provide emergency treatment to Feng Weida and He Xiuli, and successfully rescued He Yong with the guidance of netizens.

"The murderer is Lao Zheng!" He Yong told the police firmly. He had personally seen Lao Zheng go out with an axe, and it was Lao Zheng who tricked He Xiuli into going to the mental hospital.

"The murderer is Wu Renxing!"

He Xiuli lay weakly in her hospital bed as she told the police that she had only been stabbed once, not in a fatal spot, and was quickly saved. He Xiuli had previously thought that Wu Renxing wouldn't do such a thing, but now she realized she was wrong. Perhaps it was Wu Renxing who had followed her that very night.

"Old Zheng also had an accomplice named Feng Weida."

When He Yong learned from Dean Gao that the mental patient released early was Feng Weida, he was somewhat incredulous. After all, Xiuli had said that without Feng Weida's help, she might not be alive today. He Yong believed that Feng Weida was likely putting on an act for his daughter. He decided to find evidence before telling her, because if he directly accused Feng Weida of being an accomplice, He Xiuli would definitely not believe him. This delay had led to such a huge disaster!

"Xiao Feng saved me. How is he now? Is he alright?"

He Xiuli clearly remembered that Feng Weida shielded her with his body, even after being stabbed multiple times. She couldn't think of anyone else who would risk their life to save her, not even He Yong, who had abandoned his daughter and run away when they were in the black market.

"Feng Weida's injuries were a bit serious," the police officer sighed, "but don't worry, he's been rescued and is fine except for excessive blood loss."

The police officer spoke in a heavy breathing voice, nearly scaring He Xiuli half to death. She thought she would never see Feng Weida again. If the dangers she had encountered before were nothing, this time it was truly deadly, the kind that would make her wish she could just die on the spot. He Xiuli still felt terrified just thinking about it.

"Can I go see him?"

He Xiuli now feels more than just gratitude towards Feng Weida. The two have just gone through life and death together. He is someone you can trust with your back in critical moments. All the shining qualities he has are precisely what Wu Renxing lacks. In some ways, this trust even surpasses that between husband and wife.

"No, someone reported that Feng Weida was an accomplice, and he is currently under investigation," the police officer said calmly.

"An accomplice?" He Xiuli exclaimed in disbelief. "Officers, you must have made a mistake. Feng Weida saved me these past few times!"

Whether he was an accomplice still needs further investigation, after all, he was released from a mental hospital, and we don't know if he will relapse.

He Xiuli was bewildered: "Officers, what did you mean by 'released from a mental hospital'? What do you mean by 'relapse'?"

"Didn't you know? Feng Weida is a mental patient; he was just discharged from the hospital less than two months ago—"

He Xiuli didn't react for a moment: "He's mentally ill? Impossible!"

In He Xiuli's memory, Feng Weida's mental state was more stable than that of a normal person, so how could he be mentally ill?

"We've checked, the information is accurate, and the dean also helped identify him, there's no mistake. By the way, how did he get into your company?" the police officer asked.

"It was Renxing... Wu Renxing who recruited him..."

After He Xiuli finished speaking, she was shocked. Wu Renxing deliberately hired a mentally ill person as his driver. What was he planning? Wasn't this a premeditated attempt to kill him?

"Name?"

"Feng Weida".

"age?"

"34".

"Work experience?"

"Wedding planning company, photographer...bodyguards!"

"Do you know why we're looking for you?" the detective asked.

"Is your police force also short-staffed?" Feng Weida felt that this scene was familiar, except that the last time it was in Wu Renxing's office, and this time it was in the hospital.

"Be honest!" The detective thought he was doing it on purpose. "Just tell me the truth, don't give me any useless answers."

After a morning of questioning, Feng Weida honestly told the police everything he knew, including Wu Meng and Chen Ergou.

"Officer, could you help me find Er Gou? He hasn't contacted me for days, and I'm a little worried about him."

"We will. If you remember anything, please feel free to contact us. Just focus on staying in the hospital and don't wander off!"

"Why!"

It's the Central Hospital again. What a familiar place! I played Werewolf here last time, and I almost got killed this time. It seems I have a special connection with the Central Hospital. Thank you!

After the incident, no one saw Lao Zheng and Wu Renxing again. Based on various clues, both of them were suspects. While the police were secretly pursuing the two, they also called Jiang Xue in to cooperate with the investigation. Jiang Xue had also seen the live broadcast that day. She was very angry about what Wu Renxing said about her, saying that he had seduced and threatened her. Now she hadn't gotten the money and had gotten herself into trouble. Anyway, as long as the police didn't have evidence, she would never admit to murder for money. She only admitted that she and Wu Renxing were lovers and knew nothing else. After understanding the situation, the police released her.

However, Jiang Xue is a key target of observation. Due to the significant impact and egregious nature of the live broadcast, it even alarmed the city. The city specially assigned personnel to Leping to guide the handling of the case, and Jiang Xue was placed under comprehensive surveillance. As long as Wu Renxing contacted her, he would be caught red-handed immediately!

"Wu Renxing, you heartless bastard, what were you saying on your live stream?"

Half a day ago, after Wu Renxing sent He Xiuli's location to Qiang Ge, he received a call from Jiang Xue, who sounded very angry.

"What live stream?" Wu Renxing was completely confused.

Are you in a mental hospital right now?

How did you know? I didn't tell you.

"See for yourself!"

Jiang Xue took a screenshot of the live stream and sent it to Wu Renxing. When Wu Renxing saw it, he was stunned. The screen showed not only Lao Zheng, but also himself.

"Xiaoxue, what exactly happened?"
