Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Is She Really Going for the Kill? Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Is She Really Going for the Kill? Several people’s gazes t, and Qiao Qingyu suddenly stretched out her hand and began pounding on the door with force. Although the hallway was narrow and enclosed, it was quiet at the ti. Such loud banging on the door startled the other residents in their hos.
A middle-aged woman, pale with anger, shouted loudly, “Can’t you be quieter? Have you gone mad, banging on doors like that? Are you thieves or what? Don’t you know there are children sleeping in here?”
Another person also poked their head out and scolded loudly, “Keep it down, there are elderly people in my ho.”
This ti, Qiao Qingyu did not respond as usual with a smile and an apology or even an explanation.
After pounding violently for another ten or so seconds, she finally stopped.
anwhile, Liu Min pressed her ear against the door, her brows furrowed tightly, so Qiao Qingyu made a silencing gesture to everyone.
For so reason, everyone standing in the hallway suddenly fell silent. The next mont, Liu Min looked at Qiao Qingyu with shock and blurted out, “I hear Li Bo’s voice, she’s screaming for help…”
Qiao Qingyu’s expression imdiately darkened. The door wasn’t a burglar-proof door like those that would be standard decades later but was just a normal wooden door with a latch above that hooked onto a beam and was secured with an iron lock.
Qiao Qingyu glanced around and noticed an axe placed nearby, which was used for splitting firewood. She signaled Qiao Qingyu to Liu Hong and Liu Min to step back, then he picked up the axe and began to hack at the door’s lock.
So wanted to stop him but were held back by others who gave them a knowing look. So they stopped but frowned and turned to walk out of the hallway. They had to call the police; such behavior could not be tolerated or indulged. No matter what was happening inside, is it right to just smash a door? Isn’t that what burglars do?
Qiao Qingyu’s strength was more than enough to break a lock within a few seconds.
So the lock was smashed, and with a clang, it fell to the ground.
Liu Hong quickly pushed open the door, her pupils dilating in an instant.
Then, the three of them rushed forward together.
The disheveled Li Bo lay on the floor, her face swollen and red, her expression one of fear and pain. Upon seeing the three enter, she burst into tears, “My legs… my dad and Shao Hui broke them…”
The onlookers were dumbfounded, hardly able to fathom or believe the scene.
At this ti, in the hospital, Li Chengming was anxious and uneasy.
At the sa ti, he looked at Shao Hui with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
Feeling his gaze, Shao Hui suddenly looked up sharply, her eyes malicious and fierce, “Li Chengming, what do you an by looking at like that? Are you feeling pity for her? I only hit her a couple of tis, but she was after my son’s life…” Then she sneered, “Yes, you have a daughter now, but I have just this one son. If anything happens to him, I won’t let anyone off easily.”
Li Chengming scratched his head in frustration, “Xiao Bao’s condition has stabilized. The doctor said that as long as he wakes up, he should be fine. I’m going ho to check on things.”
Shao Hui and Li Chengming were sitting in the hospital corridor at this ti.
Xiao Bao had fallen to the ground, hitting the back of his head and had now been unconscious for more than a day.
“Your son hasn’t woken up, yet you’re going to see that slut? Are you even human, Li Chengming? For you, I’ve beco an old maid, I’ve endured so much scorn and bla, I even bore you a son, and yet this is how you treat ? I think you just like Lan Ju, you like that dead woman, otherwise you couldn’t treat and the child like this?”
Li Chengming suddenly stood up, lowering his voice, “Keep your voice down, what are you shouting for, this is a hospital…” Then he continued, “Shao Hui, don’t push all the bla on every ti sothing goes wrong. Did I ask you to wait for ? Wasn’t that your own choice? Could I have forced you if you hadn’t agreed?”
Shao Hui looked at Li Chengming in disbelief, clearly not expecting him to say such things, and her face went deathly pale.
Had it been any other ti, Li Chengming might have felt pity for her, but now his hands clenched tightly, as his eyes replayed last night’s events. He had always seen Shao Hui as a gentle, beautiful, understanding, and knowledgeable girl – which is why he loved her and had continued to love her despite the many hardships and criticisms they faced to finally be together.
He thought they had achieved happiness, but last night he realized how ruthless this woman was.
Shao Hui might have sensed that her attitude was wrong and that she was provoking Li Chengming. Seething inside, her tone softened as she covered her face and began to cry, “What could I do? Xiao Bao is my life, your daughter Li Bo caused him to fall. What’s wrong with disciplining her?”
Li Chengming watched her cry pitifully. In the end, he swallowed the words he wanted to say and didn’t provoke her further. She was distressed because of her child’s injury, and Xiao Bao was also her whole world.
Recalling last night, he thought that since Shao Hui was a woman, even if she had hit Li Bo with increased strength, it shouldn’t be a problem; that girl had always been tough and could take a beating. By this ti, she’s probably at school, he thought, feeling a slight sense of relief, yet he beca angry again.
That damned girl, how could she not co to the hospital to see her brother? Truly heartless.
At that mont, a nurse ca out of the ergency room to the two of them, “The child is awake; you can co in now.”
Both of them looked at the nurse in surprise. The nurse had seen many such scenes before and, unphased, simply nodded her head, but her gaze suddenly shifted past them, filled with shock. Following her gaze, Li Chengming felt a surge of unease and turned around involuntarily.
Two policen approached him, their expressions stern.
They quickly reached him, showed their credentials, and with serious faces, they looked at Li Chengming and Shao Hui, “Are you Li Chengming and Shao Hui?”
The two nodded dumbly, while Shao Hui glanced towards the ward and suddenly spoke with a choked voice, “My son has been unconscious for a night and a day. He just woke up, I need to see him.”
The policen exchanged glances but did not consent.
One of them said, “Li Chengming, your daughter Li Bo has been taken to the hospital, and we received a report. We just learned from the hospital that she is not in good condition… her legs are completely fractured, and there are other injuries. An assessnt is still underway…”
Li Chengming froze on the spot, his ears buzzing, looking incredulously at the two policen in front of him. The events of last night flashed through his mind. Shao Hui, had she really gone too far?
