Special Forces Medic-Chapter 742 - 709: Who Is That Man?

"No, that big black car is still there. Xiao Mei doesn't want me to appear in front of that car." Ah San quietly pointed with his finger at the black car in front of the 'Phoenix Tail' entrance.

"Who is it?" Ah San had always mentioned the black car, but he had never seen it. Maybe because he didn't have much time, or he simply hadn't paid attention, as there were many cars in that color.

Guo Guo curiously stood at the entrance. From there, you couldn't see much; apart from a parking space, nothing was clear. The sky had already started to drizzle, much heavier than when she arrived. "It's raining; I'll pack up soon. How long do you think you'll wait here?"

"I don't know, Xiao Mei wants me to wait." Ah San's head was already sticking out entirely, not caring about the rain on his head, foolishly staring at that black car.

"Ah San, don't you know it's raining outside? If Xiao Mei wants you to wait, come inside and wait, why keep your head outside?"

"I'm watching! That person is a bad guy, he hit Xiao Mei, and I want to watch him!"

"What?" Guo Guo couldn't hear this sentence clearly; Ah San spoke a bit fast, and his words were unclear due to his stuttering.

"I'm leaving!" Ah San suddenly dashed into the rain, cluelessly running towards the 'Phoenix Tail' entertainment club. Guo Guo yelled a few times after him, but eventually didn't bother.

Maybe she was waiting for Ah San. On such a gloomy rainy day, Guo Guo would pack up early, but today she held out until seven in the evening, did a bit of business, and the sky had already turned dark.

Just as April arrived, the weather was still very cold. She shivered and threw the materials placed outside into the room, preparing to pull down the rolling shutter while mumbling about Xiao Mei's broken promise.

"Guo Guo!" In the dark, the pond glimmered under the neon lights, and Ah San stood curled up outside, scaring Guo Guo.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Ah San drenched, Guo Guo reopened the door. "Why don't you come in when you arrive, catching a cold out there?" While scolding Ah San, she had already thrown him a dry cloth. "Dry yourself first, then talk."

"No, no need." Ah San wiped his face with his hand, shook the water off his hair, and started searching inside the hardware store.

"What are you looking for?" Guo Guo found Ah San's behavior very strange, seeing his unusual and distracted expression.

"Do you have any rope?" Ah San's actions became exaggerated; he seemed very anxious, like he wanted to tear down the hardware store, throwing out all the unnecessary things. "Rope, I need rope!"

"Ah San, do you want to tear down my store? I don't have any rope here." Guo Guo put back everything he threw out. This store had not sold hardware for a long time; how could there be any rope?

"Didn't there used to be some?" Ah San, unbelieving, tried to search again but was stopped by Guo Guo.

"Sold out!"

"Sold out?" Ah San repeated, his shoulders slumping, muttering, "What to do, what to do!"

"What's wrong with you exactly? What happened?" Guo Guo saw Ah San leaving the hardware store in a daze, wanting to follow but realizing he didn't hear anything she said.

After locking the door, Guo Guo hesitated for a moment before following Ah San with an umbrella. His unusual behavior today couldn't be because of a breakup, could it? If something bad happens, this simple-minded fool might really do anything.

Ah San walked quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Guo Guo ran a few steps to the intersection, but Ah San was nowhere to be seen on either side. "Where could he have gone in such a short time?"

The raindrops made a pitter-patter sound on the umbrella. Guo Guo chose a left alley because the water collected there was shallower, while the right side was almost flooded over her shoes.

There weren't many people in the alley. Between the front door and the back wall was a passageway that led to the street if crossed. Still no sign of Ah San. Could he be on the right side? Just as Guo Guo was thinking this, she suddenly heard unusual noises ahead and quietly moved forward.

A few figures blocked the front; she seemed to see Ah San's silhouette. If she went up directly, she would definitely be noticed, so Guo Guo climbed up a wall, placed her umbrella aside, and slowly approached from the rooftop.

What are they doing? Guo Guo lay on top; a black car was parked in the middle of the road, blocking both the front and back. The woman's screams weren't clear, surrounded by several people, their faces unseen. Ah San squatted to the side, mouth open, his hands protecting his face.

"Kill her!" A voice came from inside the car, ordering Ah San on the side. Ah San shook his head, refusing the man's order.

A black leather shoe stepped out of the car, and he held an umbrella while confronting the woman. "Cheating on me leads to death. You or him, choose one."

Clang! A shiny knife was thrown in front of the woman, and the man sat back inside the car. "I didn't, I did nothing, you have to believe me."

Oh, what is this plot? Guo Guo looked on in confusion. The man in the car said Xiao Mei and Ah San were having an affair. Could he be wrong? It was totally unrelated!

"Kill them both," the man's cold voice came again. The people standing by began to approach Xiao Mei and Ah San.

"No, don't, not you guys." Ah San suddenly went wild, picked up the knife from the ground, and started waving it frantically at the three approaching men. "You, you go quickly, there, leave it to me." Ah San was protecting Xiao Mei, urging her to leave cleanly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mei stood up, pushed Ah San down, snatched the knife from his hand, and slammed it toward his chest.

Guo Guo covered her mouth, unable to believe Xiao Mei would be so cruel as to kill someone trying desperately to save her. "I'm sorry, if I don't kill you, he'll kill me. It won't hurt much; it'll be over quickly, Ah San."

Xiao Mei couldn't bring herself to stab Ah San with the knife. She saw distrust and sorrow in Ah San's eyes. This man truly cared for her, for no other reason than to see her well. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Let him go!" Xiao Mei threw the knife down and ran to the car door. "Let him go, it's really nothing to do with him."

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from the car. "A whole box of drugs, you say it has nothing to do with him? What did we find on him?" The man held a bag of drugs in his hand. "If you want to steal, do it beautifully. Don't let people notice. Want to graze on the grass next door? Check with the owner first."

The man kicked Xiao Mei to the ground. "Deal with them both."

"No, don't!" The woman screamed, mud dirtying her clothes as she crawled on the ground. A man came forward, grabbed her hair from behind, and dragged her away. Ah San saw this and immediately lunged forward, accidentally knocking the man off balance to one side. In anger, another man picked up a stick from the side and hit Ah San, knocking him unconscious on the ground.

Guo Guo wanted to retreat but found her pants caught by an iron hook and couldn't move. She closed her eyes, not daring to look. The man who had dealt with Ah San once again grabbed the woman, pushing her against the wall. "After you find out the whereabouts of the account book, finish her off."

"Yes!"

Xiao Mei was in a terrible state. The people attacking her didn't treat her as a woman at all. Guo Guo felt the pain listening to the screams. Perhaps revealing the truth now would save her life! However, Xiao Mei seemed unwilling to speak, unexpectedly stubbornly holding her ground.

The man got out of the car, looking down at Xiao Mei, who had fallen to the side. As if afraid of getting himself dirty, he took a step back as Xiao Mei crawled towards him. "I ask you one last time, where are the things?"

Xiao Mei stopped crawling blankly and slowly lifted her head, her beautiful face already ruined by the dirty water.

Guo Guo opened her eyes, thinking it was over. She moved slightly, accidentally dropping the umbrella in her hand, making a noise. The man happened to turn and look at her. Upon seeing her face, in a panic, he pulled down the brim of his hat and, without hesitation, stabbed the knife through Xiao Mei's back. The man's subordinates also spotted Guo Guo's location and chased after her.

Guo Guo, no longer concerned about Ah San, yanked her pant leg free and ran across the rooftops, using her knowledge of the area. She hid inside a house, her knees trembling in the water. She bit her hand and crouched behind the door.

The two people running outside glanced at where she was hiding. One even approached and peered inside from a window. Fortunately, there was no light, and the inside was pitch black, allowing her to escape unscathed.

Once the pursuers had gone far away, Guo Guo crawled out from the other side of the room's window. If she went forward, she'd surely encounter them, but from the window, it was at least a different street. Even if discovered, escaping would be quicker.

"Who is the man who killed Xiao Mei?"

"Yao Zheng!" Guo Guo responded to Hua Qingyi's question in a very quiet voice. "Looked a lot like District Chief Yao."

Because it was too far and the rain too dense, Guo Guo couldn't be certain if it was him, only judging from appearances, they were very similar.

"Yao Zheng killed Xiao Mei to find something," Xiao Lin was catching the details in Guo Guo's account. "You said Ah San went to your place to wait for Xiao Mei, and the black car was parked outside 'Phoenix Tail' club at that time." Guo Guo nodded. "Why did Ah San want to find a rope?"

"I don't know about that. At the time, I was so scared I just ran, so I don't know how Ah San ended up dead. But that guy indeed forced Xiao Mei to hand over some account book."

"Xiao Mei's body was killed in the alley and then buried on the banks of Center Lake Dam. Ah San was killed after meeting Director Zhao. At that time, he told Director Zhao he didn't kill anyone, so during Ah San's coma, the other side already set up a fake scene, making Ah San believe he killed Xiao Mei. But why move the body afterward?" Hua Qingyi voiced the doubt in her mind. "Why did they want to kill Ah San?" (To be continued.
