Chapter 103: I Killed Someone
Liu Xiaofei's eyes seemed to bulge out, blood mixed with foam flowing down from the corner of his mouth. He turned his head to look at the frail girl behind him, and until the moment he fell, his eyes were still filled with disbelief.
If there was one person calmly observing the chaotic scene, it was Jiang Xue. While everyone else was caught up in the fight, this girl standing aside remained untouched. She did not attack anyone, nor did anyone harm her. Because of this, she was able to keep her gaze fixed on Zhang Qiu and was the first to notice the danger Zhang Qiu was facing. Without much thought, Jiang Xue rushed forward, trembling hands pulling out the fruit knife she had secretly brought and stabbing it towards Liu Xiaofei.
Before Liu Xiaofei could stab Zhang Qiu with the spring knife in his hand, Jiang Xue's fruit knife had already plunged into Liu Xiaofei's body. The fear that Jiang Xue felt before stabbing someone dissipated as soon as the knife entered Liu Xiaofei; she became calm, staring blankly at Liu Xiaofei in front of her, mechanically pulling out the knife, stabbing again, pulling out, stabbing again...
Everyone was stunned by this scene when Zhang Qiu was the first to react. He lunged forward, wrapping his arms around Jiang Xue and prying open her tightly clenched hands to throw the knife aside, comforting her by saying, "It's okay, it's okay, it's over."
Jiang Xue stared blankly at Zhang Qiu and suddenly burst into tears, "I killed someone, sob sob sob..."
Zhang Qiu glanced down at Liu Xiaolong lying on the ground. Blood oozed from his wounds, and his eyes were wide open; his mouth moved as if trying to say something, but all that came out was a stream of foamy blood.
"Let's go, I'll take you away from here." Zhang Qiu decisively said. At that moment, he just wanted to get Jiang Xue away from this place quickly. Jiang Xue had killed for her own sake; if she hadn’t rushed over, it would have been him lying on the ground. Zhang Qiu would never allow Jiang Xue to be harmed.
No one expected things would escalate to this point. Although many people at the scene were armed with knives, everyone knew they were only meant to intimidate others; when it came down to it, they would use fists and clubs instead. The local thugs were one thing, but the students from Beiluan High School were different; they panicked and dropped their weapons while running away, shouting "Someone's been killed!"
In an instant, the Yuan Dynasty Ancient City Ruins erupted into chaos after being quiet for days.
Liu Xiaolong watched in horror as his brother was stabbed three times by Jiang Xue, each stab drawing blood. Shocked and furious, he moved over with the help of his brothers and fell to the ground beside Liu Xiaofei, pressing tightly on his brother's bleeding wounds, but blood continued to flow out uncontrollably. His clever younger brother shouted from the side, "Brother Long, call 10 quickly!"
"Yes! Yes! Call 10 now!" The panicked Liu Xiaolong clung to this lifeline desperately. Although Liu Xiaofei and he were not biological brothers from the same mother, they were closer than real brothers. At this moment of Liu Xiaofei’s injury, deep guilt filled Liu Xiaolong's heart.
The chaotic battle had already come to an end since Jiang Xue stabbed someone. At this point, it no longer mattered who won or lost.
Zhang Qiu instructed Yang Yu to handle the aftermath and then left with Jiang Xue. Yang Yu looked around; Zeng Fan had long since disappeared, and most of the people he brought were gone as well. The other troublemakers who had come to join in the chaos had also scattered. Looking at his side, most of the students had fled, leaving only about twenty people, all of whom were injured.
Yang Yu's expression was serious as he said, "Brothers, everyone should go to the hospital and treat your injuries. Please believe that the Hall Society will never admit defeat!"
"Never admit defeat! Never admit defeat! Never admit defeat!" The remaining twenty or so Brothers were filled with passion and unwilling to leave.
Song Weidong walked over to Yang Yu and said, "Brother Yang, I’ll take my people and leave first." He pointed at the fruit knife Jiang Xue used to stab Liu Xiaofei on the ground and reminded him, "Make sure to take that knife with you."
"Thank you," Yang Yu nodded.
"You all go to the hospital first; get checked out and treat your wounds. After that, go home and wait for news," Yang Yu organized everything systematically. At this moment, treating injuries was the priority; what to do next would depend on Zhang Qiu's message.
Gao Zhi, Zhao Pingchuan, Wang Zhengxiang, and Yao Yu were all injured. They hadn’t felt much pain during the fight, but now that they stopped, they realized how painful it was. However, they couldn’t worry about that now; they hurriedly took their students away, helping those who were more seriously injured to leave. The last few students who weren’t badly hurt and were brave stayed behind. In fact, this was unnecessary; no one would linger any longer. Liu Xiaolong held his fallen brother in his arms, unable to care for anything else, not even Zhang Qiu’s side.
Once Yang Yu and the others left, only Liu Xiaolong's group remained. Liu Xiaolong silently vowed that everything that happened today would be repaid from Zhang Qiu!
Zeng Fan, who jumped into a taxi, was still shaken and sighed in relief that it wasn’t him lying there. Just thinking about the fierce glare Zhang Qiu shot him before leaving with Jiang Xue filled Zeng Fan with dread. This Zhang Qiu was simply terrifying; not only were his brothers fierce, but even his woman was so ruthless. That was a stabbing incident—he wouldn’t dare do such a thing himself, yet a girl managed to pull it off.
...
Zhang Qiu tightly held Jiang Xue's hand as they walked quickly for quite a distance when suddenly Jiang Xue stopped and forcefully shook off Zhang Qiu's hand, saying, "I can't go with you."
"Who else would you go with if not me? Don't make a scene, I'll take you with me." Zhang Qiu reached out to grab Jiang Xue's hand again.
Jiang Xue stepped back, avoiding him, and said with a heavy heart, "I killed someone. Where can you take me? It's useless; my life from now on will be spent in prison..." With that, Jiang Xue crouched down, burying her head in her arms and sobbing uncontrollably.
Zhang Qiu walked over, crouched down, and hugged Jiang Xue, gently stroking her hair as he said, "He might not even be dead. Don't think like that. Whatever happens, I will face it with you."
Jiang Xue remained silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and met Zhang Qiu's eyes, seriously asking, "Can you take me to a hotel?"
Zhang Qiu instinctively nodded in agreement; at that moment, no matter where Jiang Xue wanted to go, he would take her there.
Seeing Zhang Qiu's agreement, Jiang Xue stood up. Zhang Qiu took her hand, and this time, Jiang Xue did not pull away but held on tightly.
"Let's go there," Jiang Xue pointed to a nearby motel.
Zhang Qiu glanced over and replied, "Okay."
Hand in hand, Zhang Qiu and Jiang Xue walked toward the motel. Behind them, an ambulance sped by with its siren blaring, and passing vehicles hurriedly made way...
