Chapter 39: Shen Tao : “I’ll Kill You!”
Fang Xiaocao reacted swiftly, grabbing Yun Luoshu’s arm.
She turned and shot a glare at Yun Luoshu.
“Don’t act rashly. Let’s see what’s going on first,” she whispered.
Yun Luoshu nodded, her tense muscles slowly relaxing.
Through the glass, they quietly observed.
There were quite a few people in the hallway—many familiar faces.
Han Xue was holding Su Wanqing hostage at the hospital room door, confronting Wang Qiang.
Beside Wang Qiang stood the young female officer who had taken Fang Xiaocao’s statement last time.
Behind them, two criminal investigators Fang Xiaocao had never seen before were restraining Shen Tao.
Judging by the situation, Wang Qiang had brought Han Xue and Shen Tao to the hospital for examination, but Han Xue had seized an opportunity to take Su Wanqing hostage.
Han Xue, still harboring ill intentions, had stormed into the hospital room seeking revenge on Fang Xiaocao.
But since Fang Xiaocao and Yun Luoshu had already taken Wen Shi and left, Han Xue found the room empty.
Just as she was about to flee, Wang Qiang and his team blocked her at the door.
“Han Xue, stop being stubborn!”
“The more mistakes you make, the worse your punishment will be,” Wang Qiang called out loudly.
“You b*tch, don’t drag me down with you!”
Shen Tao, restrained by the two criminal investigators, glared hatefully at Han Xue and cursed.
“Officer Wang, this wretched woman’s actions have nothing to do with me.”
“I was just fooling around with her. I never had anything serious with her. How was I supposed to know she’d turn into such a mess?”
After yelling at Han Xue, Shen Tao turned to Wang Qiang to plead his case.
“Shut up!”
Hearing Shen Tao’s crude words, the two investigators restraining him frowned and scolded him.
Shen Tao immediately fell silent at their warning.
A real man knows when to yield. He wasn’t a fool—he knew how to handle himself.
Besides, his crimes weren’t that serious.
From beginning to end, he hadn’t been directly involved.
At most, he could be accused of negligence in management.
With the right connections, he could get out of this clean.
Shen Tao had no intention of going down because of Han Xue.
Hearing his words, Han Xue’s face twisted in rage. She glared at him, grinding her teeth.
“Shen Tao, you bastard! You ruined me! If I don’t take you down with me, I’ll never rest in peace!”
She looked like she wanted to lunge at him and tear him apart.
“B*tch, how the hell did I ruin you?”
“Debts should be repaid. That’s how the world works!”
“Damn it, you were the one who offered to pay off your debt with drinking and escorting—how is that my fault?”
Shen Tao wasn’t one to take accusations lightly. He immediately fired back.
“Shut up!”
Seeing that Shen Tao was provoking Han Xue further, Wang Qiang turned and barked an order.
“Gag him. Don’t let him talk anymore,” Wang Qiang instructed the investigators.
The two investigators nodded and shot Shen Tao a warning glare.
“If you say one more word, we’ll charge you with obstruction of justice,” one of them said coldly.
Hearing that, Shen Tao shut up.
There was no point in arguing with Han Xue—it would only bring him trouble.
If she wanted to smear him, let her.
Everything required evidence. At worst, he’d get a lawyer and countersue her for slander.
“Shen Tao, did you think you could just sleep with me and walk away free?”
Suddenly, Han Xue laughed eerily.
Shen Tao’s eyes darkened as he glared at her.
“B*tch!” he muttered.
“Hehehe…”
“Shen Tao, do you know why we came to the hospital?”
Han Xue chuckled sinisterly.
Wang Qiang glanced at Shen Tao.
They hadn’t told him the real reason for the hospital visit—if he found out, he might lose control.
Wang Qiang signaled to the two investigators restraining him.
They immediately understood and tightened their grip on Shen Tao.
“Why?” Shen Tao asked instinctively.
“Hahaha~”
“Why?”
“Because you slept with me~”
Han Xue laughed wildly, her expression deranged.
“Shen Tao, did you know?”
“That old man—his body was full of diseases.”
“I was forced by him. I got infected with everything.”
“AIDS, syphilis, HPV—every STD you can think of…”
Han Xue blinked playfully, smirking.
“If it wasn’t for revenge, do you think I’d have thrown myself at you?”
She laughed wickedly.
Shen Tao froze.
Then his expression twisted in horror.
“You b*tch! I’ll kill you!”
He erupted in rage and tried to lunge at her.
The two investigators holding him reacted swiftly, slamming him to the ground.
“Let go of me! I’ll kill this wretch!”
Shen Tao struggled violently, roaring in fury.
“Hahaha~”
Seeing Shen Tao’s outburst, Han Xue laughed maniacally.
“Shen Tao, calm down.”
“These diseases… they’re not untreatable.”
“With your money, you still have hope,” Wang Qiang said grimly.
“Officer Wang, let me go!”
“Let me kill this b*tch for you!”
Shen Tao’s voice was hoarse from shouting.
“Calm down, Shen Tao!” Wang Qiang scolded.
“Han Xue, everything you just said has been recorded by the body cam. This will be used as evidence of your intentional disease transmission!”
Wang Qiang pointed at Han Xue and barked,
“Surrender now and release Su Wanqing. If you cooperate, we’ll consider it a voluntary surrender.”
“Heh~”
“Officer Wang, if I’m going down, I’m taking someone with me.”
Han Xue licked her lips and grinned.
She opened her mouth and hovered over Su Wanqing’s pale neck, as if deciding where to bite.
“Han Xue, don’t do anything reckless!”
“If you have demands, state them!” Wang Qiang shouted anxiously.
“Demands?”
“Call Fang Xiaocao. Then we can talk.”
Han Xue smirked.
From the very beginning, her target had always been Fang Xiaocao.
Su Wanqing, Wen Shi, and Yun Luoshu were just collateral.
“That’s impossible. We can’t force Fang Xiaocao to risk herself,” Wang Qiang said firmly.
“So there’s no deal?”
Han Xue’s smile widened as she pressed her red lips even closer to Su Wanqing’s neck.
“Officer Wang, do you think if I bite her, I can break the skin and infect her?”
Han Xue asked playfully, tilting her head.
“You…”
Wang Qiang was momentarily speechless.
If she broke the skin, Su Wanqing would be in grave danger. The chances of infection were high.
“Han Xue, if you harm the hostage, the situation changes.”
“We will use force if necessary!”
Wang Qiang warned.
“Oh?”
“Use force?”
Han Xue chuckled.
“Officer Wang, I’m soooo scared~”
She giggled.
“But what if… I just kiss her?”
“A kiss doesn’t count as harming a hostage, right?”
Han Xue teased.
Su Wanqing’s expression turned to sheer panic.
