Chapter 201 Speed of Life and Death
The person kneeling on the ground lowered his head, but suddenly raised it when he heard these words.
Looking up at that tall and straight figure, perhaps the man's intimidation was too strong,
Even as he knelt there, his body was shaking like a sieve. "Hey! I'm asking you a question!"
Li Hanting's voice seemed to be covered with ice chips, and the coldness carried the majesty and unquestionable authority that only belonged to a superior.
The people kneeling on the ground almost lost their souls when they heard this.
He said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes! I'll tell you! I'll tell you right away!"
"Tell me, who ordered you to enter Tangtang's studio? Is her fainting related to you?"
After listening to what Li Hanting said, the man knew that if he didn't speak up, he might never see his family again.
The man kneeling on the ground struggled internally for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Hey, Mr. Li, since you've asked this, I'll tell you everything!"
Li Hanting was secretly happy when he saw the person on the ground finally willing to tell the truth, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
" explain!"
The man knelt there, stopping himself from speaking, and said slowly, "Boss Li, this is it."
"My name is Wang Huaiyu. I'm a mahjong gambler. I remember that just half a year ago, I lost all my money again because of mahjong."
Li Hanting and Qin Qian looked at each other while listening to Wang Huaiyu's story.
"Go on."
Wang Huaiyu: "Oh. Okay!"
"Just when I was being chased by my creditors and had nowhere to go, a masked woman suddenly found me one day."
"She told me that if I did something for her, she would give me 10 million as a reward. I was greedy for a moment, so I asked her what it was."
"Did she tell me who he was? Like, his name or something like that?"
Hearing Li Han's words, Wang Huaiyu shook his head and whispered, "No."
"So what exactly did she ask you to do for her?"
Wang Huaiyu didn't say anything for a long time, and Li Hanting was not in a hurry. He knew that Wang Huaiyu was considering whether he could tell this matter at this time.
But he took too long to think, and finally Li Hanting lost his patience.
He stood up from his chair and said coldly, "Qin Qian, take him away and treat him well!"
" yes!"
After saying that, Qin Qian dragged the person on the ground away.
After Qin Qian took his men out, Li Hanting stood alone in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
He was speechless, thinking about what Wang Huaiyu had just said. What was going on? There was one thing that had been bothering him.
Is the person behind Wang Huaiyu just someone with money...
dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the study door, and the man was forced to break away from his thoughts.
He asked loudly, "Who is it?"
"Honey, what time is it now? Why don't you go to bed?"
The girl's clear voice reached the man's ears and sounded particularly pleasant to him.
"Baby, go to sleep first. I have something to take care of. Don't wait for me."
But before he could finish his words, the study door was opened from the outside.
When the girl opened the door, she saw the tall and majestic back of her man.
When the man saw his wife coming, he put away the solemn expression on his face and looked at the figure walking towards him with loving eyes.
At the same time, the voices softened a lot, "Tangtang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Hua Ting Apartment
Jiang Xueyin's residence
10 o'clock in the evening
Everyone should be asleep at this time.
Can----
"Ahhh! Help! Is there anyone here? My house is on fire!"
Maybe the black smoke caused by the flames was too thick, so the entire elevator entrance was filled with smoke.
Jiang Xueyin shouted for ten minutes but no one came to rescue her.
Only then did he remember that this apartment was the one his mother had left for him when he was very young, so he quickly made a phone call.
When Jiang Xueying turned around, she saw the mobile phone she had brought into the bathroom. At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had the habit of carrying her mobile phone with her at all times.
So she quickly grabbed her phone and called for help: "Hello! Is this Aunt Yang?"
"I'm Xueyin, I'm trapped in the bathroom and can't get out!"
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Because she spoke too anxiously, Jiang Xueyin accidentally choked.
Aunt Yang on the other end of the phone was completely confused and had no idea what she was saying.
Aunt Yang: "Hey! Speak slower, I can't hear you clearly."
"Our house is on fire!"
"Help!"
This time the person on the other end of the phone heard it clearly, and his face turned pale as paper with fright.
He hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, hey, I get it. Wait a moment, I'll be there soon. I'll find someone to rescue you."
Sure enough, 5 minutes later there was a knock on the door of Huating Apartment.
In order to open the door for the people outside, Jiang Xueyin had no choice but to rush out of the bathroom and head straight for the door.
But the more anxious I was, the more problems happened. Normally the door worked fine, but today I don’t know what happened to the door and it wouldn’t open no matter how hard I tried.
Jiang Xueyin was sweating profusely as she pulled at the doorknob, but to no avail. Then, Aunt Yang's voice came from outside the door, "Xueyin, don't worry, we're trying to find a way to break the door in!" Jiang Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the door, feeling powerless.
Suddenly, she heard a siren coming from far away. "It's the xx car!" A glimmer of hope surged in her heart.
xxx arrived quickly and used tools to break open the door, bringing in a breath of fresh air.
Jiang Xueyin was helped out by xxx. She saw Aunt Yang and a group of concerned people. "Thank you...thank you," her voice trembled. Aunt Yang hugged her tightly. "It's okay, child. It's all over." Jiang Xueyin looked at the burned-out apartment, her heart filled with emotion.
In the end, it might be because I was too nervous, or it might be because I was finally in a safe environment.
Jiang Xueyin's eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, child, child! Wake up! Xueyin! Xueyin!"
Aunt Yang was terrified when she saw the person in her arms faint.
At this time, a staff member came over.
He said in a businesslike manner: "Hurry, take him to the hospital immediately, otherwise his life may be in danger."
Aunt Yang suddenly understood what the man said.
He quickly took the phone that Jiang Xueyin was holding tightly in her hand.
What made Aunt Yang happy was that Jiang Xueying’s phone had no password.
Aunt Yang dialed the number marked "Little Candy" in the address book, and the call was quickly connected.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, I'm Jiang Xueyin's downstairs neighbor. My last name is Yang."
"Excuse me, are you Candy?"
At the same time, the girl who was planning to talk to her husband about something.
Suddenly I received a call for help from my best friend.
And the other person is obviously not a best friend.
"Hey, it's me, hello."
"Your best friend Jiang Xueyin is in the hospital now! Their house is on fire! Can you come over?"
Aunt Yang's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness. After hearing Aunt Yang's words, Shen Qingtang's body shook violently, and the phone in his hand almost slipped.
"What? Xueyin is in the hospital? How could this happen?" Shen Qingtang's voice was full of shock and disbelief.
Aunt Yang sighed on the other end of the phone, her tone filled with helplessness. "I don't know the details, but I heard there was a sudden fire at their house last night, and Xueyin was taken to the hospital."
Shen Qingtang's mind was in a mess. She couldn't believe this sudden bad news. Jiang Xueyin was her best friend. They grew up together and were like sisters.
"Aunt Yang, Xueyin, is she...is she seriously injured?" Shen Qingtang's voice trembled a little, and she tried to keep herself calm.
Aunt Yang was silent for a moment, then said, "Little Tangguo, you should come here in person. Xueyin needs you now."
Shen Qingtang nodded, even though Aunt Yang couldn't see. "Okay, Aunt Yang. I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingtang immediately changed her clothes, picked up her bag, and prepared to go out.
Li Hanting saw Shen Qingtang's hurried look and asked with concern: "Qingtang, what happened?"
Shen Qingtang stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to keep his voice calm. "Han Ting, Xue Yin's house is on fire. She's in the hospital now. I have to go there right away."
Li Hanting frowned slightly when he heard this. "I'll go with you."
Shen Qingtang looked at him gratefully and nodded. "Okay, let's go."
The two of them quickly drove to the hospital. Along the way, Shen Qingtang felt extremely heavy-hearted. She couldn't imagine what Xue Yin was doing now.
When Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting arrived at the hospital, Aunt Yang was already waiting for them at the door. Seeing Shen Qingtang, Aunt Yang immediately came forward to greet him.
I was just slightly stunned when I saw the handsome men and beautiful women.
It seems that I didn't expect that there are such beautiful people in this world.
"Are you Candy?"
"Aunt Yang, where is Xueyin? How is she?" Shen Qingtang asked anxiously.
Aunt Yang led them outside the ward and said softly, "Xue Yin is still in a coma. The doctor said she was seriously injured and needs time to recover."
Shen Qingtang looked at Jiang Xueyin lying on the hospital bed through the glass on the door, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Li Hanting held Shen Qingtang's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, she will be fine."
The two of them waited in the ward for about two hours.
The person in bed slowly woke up.
Shen Qingtang saw his old friend wake up.
It was the first time I cried without any image.
She held Jiang Xueyin's hand tightly, as if this could give her some strength and comfort.
"Xue Yin, you must get better soon." Shen Qingtang's voice was a little choked, and she tried hard not to let her tears flow.
Jiang Xueyin forced a smile, her voice weak and hoarse. "Qingtang, thank you. I feel much better with you around."
Shen Qingtang nodded, but his heart was filled with complicated emotions.
She knew that Jiang Xueyin's strength was just a disguise on the surface.
In that family without maternal love, Jiang Xueying learned to hide her vulnerability since childhood.
Shen Qingtang recalled their childhood.
At that time, Jiang Xueying always behaved very independently and strongly. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she rarely asked others for help.
But Shen Qingtang knew that beneath that strong appearance, Jiang Xueyin actually longed for warmth and love.
"No, you're already in the hospital, so why isn't there any news from your dad? Didn't you tell him?"
After hearing what her best friend said, Jiang Xueying's eyes dimmed visibly.
"Forget it... He doesn't even have me in his heart, why should I bother myself?"
Shen Qingtang was indignant. "No matter how busy you are, you can't ignore your daughter! He's going too far."
Li Hanting was silent and thoughtful.
He decided to investigate the situation of Jiang Xueying's father to see if he could find a solution to the problem.
Shen Qingtang gently held Jiang Xueyin's shoulders and asked her to face him.
Her eyes were filled with heartache and confusion, and her voice was low but with a hint of urgency.
"Xueyin, then you...then you don't hate? Don't you blame?" Shen Qingtang's voice trembled a little. She stared at Jiang Xueyin's eyes, as if trying to find the answer from them.
"Do you know that you escaped death from the fire this time?" Shen Qingtang's voice rose a little, with a hint of anger and heartache.
When Jiang Xueyin heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She lowered her head, her voice weak and hoarse.
"Hate? Resentment? Of course I do." Jiang Xueyin's voice was bitter, "But, Qingtang, what can hatred and resentment change?"
Shen Qingtang felt a pang of sadness when she heard this. She knew that Jiang Xueyin had always been a strong person, but behind this strength, there was so much pain and helplessness hidden.
"Xueyin, you're always like this, taking on everything on your own." Shen Qingtang's voice was filled with pity, "But, have you ever thought that this will only make you more miserable?"
Jiang Xueyin was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked up at Shen Qingtang. "Qingtang, I understand what you mean. But what can I do? You know my family situation."
Shen Qingtang held Jiang Xueyin's hand and said firmly, "Xueyin, I know you've always been strong, but sometimes, being strong doesn't mean you have to bear everything alone. You still have me and other people who care about you."
Jiang Xueyin's eyes flickered with tears, but she tried hard to hold them back. "Qingtang, thank you. I know you truly care about me. But, there are some things I can only rely on myself."
Shen Qingtang felt even more distressed when she heard this. She knew that Jiang Xueyin longed for warmth and love deep down in her heart, but she always closed herself off out of habit.
"Xueyin, you don't need to face all the difficulties alone." Shen Qingtang's voice was filled with pleading, "Let me help you, okay? Let me be your support."
Jiang Xueyin looked at Shen Qingtang with tears in her eyes. She knew that Shen Qingtang was really doing this for her own good, but the pain and helplessness in her heart made it difficult for her to accept it.
"Qingtang, I..." Jiang Xueyin's voice was a little choked, "I am really grateful to you. However, there are some things that I need time to accept and digest."
Shen Qingtang nodded. She understood Jiang Xueyin's concerns. "Okay, Xueyin. I'll give you time. But you have to remember, no matter what, I will always be by your side."
Jiang Xueyin finally couldn't hold back any more, tears welled up in her eyes. She threw herself into Shen Qingtang's arms and burst into tears.
