Chapter 176: The Crazy Assassin (2/2)

Although he was reprimanding Xiaotao, he still kept the smile on his face because we were still in front of all the guests. I saw how Xiaotao’s ears had turned red. Then, she suddenly grabbed my arm and announced, “No, I’m not good enough for him, because I already have a boyfriend!”

Her father’s eyes widened. Before he could respond, he was interrupted by a sudden scream, which diverted everyone’s attention.

“Oh my god, she’s bleeding!”

The crowd turned to the source of the scream, and there was a rich lady who had collapsed to the floor with a pool of blood slowly spilling out of her body. The crowd panicked immediately. Some even knocked down the tables and chairs while others ran and screamed.

I saw a man trying to escape from the chaos that ensued and shouted, “Stop that man!”

The bodyguards responded immediately and caught the man. He avoided three or four of the bodyguards and slipped through their grasps like a slippery fish. His suit jacket was torn off in the fight. More guards swarmed to him, and he suddenly pulled out a dagger. I noticed that this man was indeed Chen Da.

The guards were experienced fighters, so the dagger did not faze them. They quickly got hold of Chen Da and pinned him to the ground. Still, Chen Da managed to slip out of their grasp again and bounced back up to his feet. He ran in the opposite direction, which was towards the window.

I realized that the man was going to commit suicide. Before I could do anything, I heard a strange noise in the room. I turned to the direction of that noise and saw that it was the sound of Xiaotao tearing of the lower part of her dress to make it easier for her to run. She rushed towards the buffet table and kicked it. The table slipped just in time to block Chen Da’s way.

Chen Da squarely slammed into the table, yet there was no change of expression on his face. It almost seemed like he could feel no pain. Soon, the guests caught up with him again and they subdued him.

The bodyguards had stepped in the pool of blood, leaving trails of bloody footprints. I almost cursed at them for destroying the crime scene.

I rushed over to the victim. She was stabbed through the right shoulder blade with a knife, but I could see that she was still faintly breathing. I shouted for someone near me to call for an ambulance, then turned her over so she lay on her back. This was to prevent her blood from accumulating in the internal organs and clogging the trachea.

I put my ears on the victim’s chest and listened. I found that there was a lot of blood in her lungs. She was almost asphyxiated now, and her nostrils were full of blood. If she wasn’t rescued soon, she might die before the ambulance arrived.

“Does anyone have a syringe?” I shouted.

“Who are you?” a man who looked like he was the victim’s secretary asked me. “Don’t mess around! We have to wait for the doctor!”

I glared at him. “If no one gives her first aid, she’ll die before the doctor arrives! Get downstairs now and buy a syringe! Hurry up!”

The secretary was stunned for a while, but then uttered, “Okay, right away!”

Soon, he returned with a first-aid kit. I took out the syringe and pierced it through the victim’s chest, drawing blood from it. The people around me stared suspiciously and kept muttering, “Who is this kid?”

“Is he a doctor?”

“Who will bear the responsibility if he kills her? She’s the head of Ronghua Pharmaceuticals after all!”

I ignored them and continued pumping out four tubes of blood. Then, the victim was finally able to breathe. She opened her eyes slightly, and the secretary knelt beside her and took her hand, saying, “Director Zhang! You’re awake!”

“What happened to me?” she asked weakly.

“Someone tried to kill you, Director Zhang,” the secretary explained. “This young man just saved your life!”

The lady looked at me and was about to say something, but I stopped her.

“You shouldn’t talk for now,” I said. “Let’s wait for the ambulance! Fortunately, none of your vital organs were hit, so you’ll definitely be fine.”

Then the people around me changed their tune and started praising me for being brave and smart. They truly were hypocrites. Not only did they mock me just minutes ago, but they also did nothing to help and just stood there idly as the event happened. Yet, now they were trying to show their concern for the victim.

I noticed that there was a commotion on the other side of the room. Then I heard Xiaotao’s voice shouting, “Come here, Song Yang! The suspect is dead!”
