Chapter 1032 - Heroes (2/2)
A building with 30 floors, the Big Golden Eagle Store, had its first to twelfth floors full of a variety of expensive goods for sale. The sixth floor was a clothing area, full of all kinds of famous women’s foreign clothing brands. Yet, by a certain window, Tian Xiaomeng was sweating profusely while nervously holding the display case and pointing the camera at the fierce gun battle below.
“Guys, I’m very vexed, sad, and angry. My grieving is for those innocents who have fallen in their own pool of blood. Yet, I feel so angry… so damn angry at myself that I can’t do anything at all and just watch them lose their lives. Those fucking damn villains are truly so heartless and cruel. They dare to kill people in this bustling block full of people in Beijing!
“All dear fans, Little Meng really didn’t expect to encounter this horrible incident! I was just going to Beijing to attend an entertainment program, yet I must see such a hell loose on earth now. Dear fans and all the friends who are now watching this live broadcast platform and seeing all those innocent victims below, please join me and pray for their survival…”
At this moment, the number of people across the country watching Tian Xiaomen’s live channel had reached over a hundred thousand. As time passed by, the number of viewers flocking in and the number of subscribers also increased at an incredibly fast rate. In just five-odd minutes, the number of subscribers watching the live channel had exceeded 300,000.
And yet, none of them talked nor sent gifts!
Each pair of shocked and sympathetic viewer eyes only stared at the tragic scene playing on the screen. Many timid girls and kind boys even covered their mouths and burst into tears.
Suddenly, Tian Xiaomeng slightly shivered and disbelief appeared in her bright, big eyes. Although the hands that held the camera were shaking, she still exclaimed in alarm, “Who is he? It’s very dangerous over there, yet… w-why did he rush over there?”“Who?”
Her voice that was now heard by hundreds of thousands of people led to an intense curiosity. At this moment, some people among the hundreds of thousands had identified the figure in the footage. The footage itself was bit blurred, but some were still able to recognize that person’s face.
“Tang Xiu.”
It was unknown who the person that typed the two words in the comment section was.
Suddenly, the hundreds of thousands of viewers were pulled by the scene where a figure ran to a smashed SUV and quickly recognized him as Tang Xiu, a well-known small business owner and a kind, good doctor with a golden heart.
“That’s Tang Xiu!”
“Tang Xiu!”
“Tang Xiu!”
“…”
Numerous viewers began typing these two words in the commentary box and the name made the commentary box crazily scroll downward.
Eyes fixedly staring at Tang Xiu’s figure, Tian Xiaomeng’s breathing turned faster while worry and restlessness filled her eyes. Tears even burst out from her eye sockets as they quickly slipped down a delicate and lovely face.
“He… he’s saving them!”
Muttering in a sob and mixed emotions filling her heart, Tian Xiaomeng watched as Tang Xiu rescued the pained and whining injured man curled up on the ground. He picked him up and sprinted to the side of the SUV to avoid the bullets flying around him.
Suddenly, she seemed to recall something. Even though her face didn’t appear in the footage, her voice was spread to the hundreds of thousands of viewers:
“Dear friends, you are all not mistaken! He’s indeed Tang Xiu. The brother I respect the most and the most famous Young Divine Doctor in our country! It’s really him who is now rushing out into the rain of bullets to save the lives of the injured. I’m pleading to Heaven and to the Gods… please bless him. Please let him be safe and bless him in his endeavor to save that injured man…”
“Bless him.”
“Bless and protect him.”
“…”
The “Bless and protect” words replaced Tang Xiu’s name in the commentary box. The deep worry and concern they had for Tang Xiu and their blessing and prayers for him filled the commentary box. Tang Xiu’s name had been etched deep inside their hearts and they remembered his face all along deeply.
What was bravery? What was a hero?
Prior to this, they knew that the existence of a hero was very difficult to find nowadays. But now they just saw what a hero was. They watched as someone ignored his own safety and braved the dangers under the hail of bullets where he could possibly be shot and die at any time, yet still rushed forward to save people.
Time fleeted by and the number of viewers watching Tian Xiaomeng’s live channel had increased more and more and exceeded 1.5 million in just ten minutes. However, everyone who got shocked by the footage had now sobered up and could see clearly the figure that kept running to save the victims under the rain of bullets.
“The eighth one! He has treated eight injured victims and also brought them to a temporary safe place. This man is my idol. A man I deeply respect. Please be safe.” With tears on her face, Tian Xiaomeng’s voice passed into the ears of more than 1.5 million people.
