Chapter 171 Rescue

Leng Chuanjin said to Xia Sanghuan. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether he was trying to comfort her or himself.

After a brief moment of chaos, the two of them quickly regained their usual calm demeanor.

"Is there an emergency first - aid kit in the car?"

Hearing her question, he nodded.

"Yes."

"It has all kinds of medicines and hemostatic agents."

"The bandages are also prepared for two people."

Hearing this, she let out a sigh of relief. But then another thought occurred to her.

"Can you find my brother?"

Her brows were tightly knitted, and her voice was filled with unmasked worry.

After all, Xia Sanghuan had just blindly followed Leng Chuanjin out. She didn't even know exactly where her eldest brother was. And from what her second brother had said just now, it seemed he didn't know either.

What should they do?

Hearing the girl's worried question, he reached out and gently patted her arm in a comforting gesture.

"A tracker has been implanted under Ling Shi's skin."

"We just need to follow the navigation to find him."

He tilted his head and glanced at her, noticing the anxiety between her eyebrows.

"I hope so."

The girl let out a helpless sigh. She unconsciously clenched her fists, and her fingertips had turned cold.

For the rest of the journey, neither of them said a word. In fact, they were at a loss for words.

Leng Chuanjin drove the car silently, his thin lips tightly pursed, wearing an expression that Xia Sanghuan had never seen before.

On the navigation screen, there was a small red dot blinking constantly. That was where Fu Lingshi was at the moment.

Unfortunately, this place was not close to the Leng family's residence.

The girl stared at the navigation screen while silently praying in her heart.

She hoped that everything would still be in time when they arrived.

The only silver lining was that Leng Chuanjin was an excellent driver, and they arrived much earlier than the estimated time on the navigation.

Looking at the dark road ahead, Xia Sanghuan's heart sank.

Suddenly, the car's headlights shone on an obstacle.

No, it shouldn't be called an obstacle.

It was a badly - crushed car.

The girl's heart leaped into her throat.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, she pulled open the door and rushed out.

Seeing Fu Lingshi lying in a pool of blood with his eyes closed, she couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Brother!"

Her legs went weak, and she felt as if she was about to faint the next second. But fortunately, she had strong mental fortitude. She held onto the car door to steady herself, then picked up the first - aid kit she had taken out of the trunk in advance and rushed towards Fu Lingshi.

She squatted down beside him and immediately began to check his injuries.

His injuries were mainly on his head and abdomen. The head injury was obviously caused by the impact of the car accident, while most of the abdominal injuries were knife wounds.

Looking at the knife wounds on Fu Lingshi's body, Xia Sanghuan couldn't help but gasp.

Her heart ached sharply, and then tears rolled down her cheeks.

The attacker clearly wanted to kill her eldest brother.

While skillfully treating the wounds, she analyzed the time when the wounds were inflicted.

The wounds were very fresh, and there were no signs of dried blood. Moreover, her eldest brother's blood loss was not too much.

The attacker's decision to stab him again after the car accident clearly showed that they wanted him dead for sure. So this didn't make sense at all.

She tried to calm herself down, but her voice still trembled involuntarily.

"Second brother, the murderer can't have gone too far."

"Search around. You should be able to find some clues."

They both knew that if they chased after the murderer now, they might be lucky enough to catch the culprit. But they were in an unfamiliar place, and there was only a dim street lamp around.

They were in the open, while the enemy was in the dark. Acting rashly might cause unnecessary casualties. Moreover, they had no idea how many attackers there were.

So it was better not to act on their own before Yun Ye and the police arrived.

Leng Chuanjin also noticed this. He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight.

He followed the blood trail on the ground and walked a few steps. Sure enough, he found a blood - stained knife in the roadside green belt.

Obviously, it was accidentally dropped by the murderer.

He had no tools on hand and couldn't damage the crime scene. So he took a picture of the knife and then returned to the girl's side, waiting for the police to collect evidence later.

He squatted down beside her, looking at his unconscious friend on the ground with a furrowed brow.

"How is he now?"

"He's stable for the time being."

Xia Sanghuan finished bandaging the last wound.

"But there's a risk of wound infection."

"The medicine in the first - aid kit can only do some simple treatment. The most important thing now is to send big brother to the hospital."

There were still tears in her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were a bit red.

"Yun Ye will be here in three minutes."

"As soon as he and the police arrive, we can send Ling Shi to the hospital immediately."

She reached out to wipe away her tears but forgot that her hands were still covered in her eldest brother's blood.

"Let me do it."

Leng Chuanjin stopped her and then took out a pack of wet wipes from his pocket.

He took out a wet wipe, gently held her face, and carefully wiped it for her.

His movements were as gentle as last time, but the girl was too preoccupied to be moved.

She sniffed and picked up the wet wipe to clean the blood on her hands.

"Second brother, do you have any clues about the person who tried to kill big brother?"

He immediately had a few suspects in mind. But without solid evidence, he couldn't just say it casually.

He shook his head wearily.

Just then, Yun Ye arrived with a group of people.

The police and doctors quickly carried Fu Lingshi onto the ambulance and drove towards the hospital.

Although Xia Sanghuan wanted to stay and follow up on the investigation, she was more worried about her eldest brother, so she followed the ambulance first.

Fortunately, it wasn't the rush - hour, so the ambulance made its way to the hospital without any hindrance.

Her eldest brother was pushed into the intensive care unit, and she didn't hesitate to sign her name as the surgical guarantor.

Even the nurse in charge of the hand - over work was shocked by her calmness and courage.

The operation went smoothly, and her eldest brother quickly out of danger.

After the chief surgeon came out, he held her hand and kept saying.

"Little girl, if it weren't for your timely treatment, even if the patient was rescued, he might have some sequelae."

But upon hearing this, Xia Sanghuan couldn't feel any joy.

She just let out a sigh of relief and only then realized that her clothes were soaked with sweat.

At the crime scene, after Leng Chuanjin handed over the evidence and information to the police, he was sent back home by the police.

After all, even though he was the head of the Leng family, he couldn't interfere too much with legal matters.

It was already the middle of the night when he got home.

The girl hadn't come back yet. She would probably stay in the hospital to accompany her brother tonight.
