226 Good Devil (2/2)

Wang Lihu, Ye Qiu, and Liu Tieguofound themselves warded in the hospital. Wang Lihu had suffered the most severe injuries. The three bolts had lodged deep into his body and caused severe tissue and muscle damage. After receiving treatment, Liu Tieguo only needed to rest and recover, as the injuries he sustained were primarily to his tendons and bones.

The hospital had set up a viewing area for visitors in the hallway.

It was night, as Xiao Luo stood watching the doctors and nurses running around downstairs.

Gu Qianxue was next to him. She wasn't in her police uniform but instead was dressed in an immaculate white dress, accentuating her natural beauty. She gazed at Xiao Luo with her bright, sparkling eyes, no emotions showed on her pretty face, as she searched for some answers.

”A young girl came to Jiangcheng with high hopes and dreams. She had set her mind on being an exemplary nurse, an 'angel in white' to save people's lives. She was an innocent soul, beautiful and kind. But this world, unfortunately, is filled with filth and abomination. Nasty people found ways to entrap her mind and body with all sorts of despicable means. She kept fighting and resisting, and finally tried to end her life by jumping off from the tenth floor.”

As he told his story, Xiao Luo's voice was soft and gentle. Every word was filled with intense emotion as he recalled memories of Sun Yu.

Gu Qianxue just listened, she could see his pain and did not say a word.

”I stepped into her life… no, she entered my world. When I saw her falling off the building, just like a swallow with a broken wing, I told myself that I would send the filth of Jiangcheng to hell. I will stop at nothing, not even becoming a devil myself.”

Xiao Luo had said more than he intended, turning his head toward Gu Qianxue, he said with a bitter smile, ”Your sister warned you to stay away from me. She is right, you know. A kind-hearted and simple girl like you shouldn't have anything to do with people like me.”

”I am my own person,” said Gu Qianxue.

”But you have to listen to her, don't you?” Xiao Luo said, smiling cheekily.

Gu Qianxue first shook her head, then nodded, and she explained, ”Well, I do have to listen to her on many matters. But I can decide for myself when it comes to some things.”

”For example?”

”Being a friend to you.” Gu Qianxue said seriously.

Xiao Luo laughed and asked, ”Are you sure you can call the shots on this?”

”I am sure!” Gu Qianxue's rosy lips opened in a look of defiance.

Xiao Luo stretched his hand and gently tapped on her forehead and said, ”I'm beginning to like you more and more. I mean, as a friend.”

”Why did you tap my forehead?” Gu Qianxue asked with confusion.

”It represents my approval of you.”

Of course, Xiao Luo couldn't tell her that it was what he usually did when he was kidding around with little kids.

Gu Qianxue thought for a moment, then, in turn, tapped Xiao Luo's forehead gently with her hand as well.

Xiao Luo was a little taken aback, but then shook his head and laughed, ”You're very different from your sister. I think I should apologize to her for your sake.”

”Why?”

”Your sister will know.”

Xiao Luo gave her a warm smile, then from the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Qianlin's black SUV turning into the hospital through the main entrance. He said to Gu Qianxue, ”Alright, you should get back. I need to check on those three guys. See you tomorrow!”

He turned around and left right after speaking. He had no intention of meeting Gu Qianlin at all.

”Good devil.”

Gu Qianxue said to herself. Other people viewed Xiao Luo as a bloodthirsty and brutal devil. But that was not how she saw it; he was a good-hearted person who had turned into this devil out of love and a sense of duty.

Had Xiao Luo known her judgment of him, he would only tell her, ”You're wrong!”
