After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?
Chapter 116 Unexpected

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Unexpected

Elder Jiang had a good impression of Zhou Hansheng and rare to meet him, he wanted to invite him for a meal to see what kind of character this young man had.

If his character was despicable, then in the future, he’ll be prohibited from approaching Qingqing.

If his character was decent, then he wouldn’t interfere.

Whoever could win Qingqing’s heart would have to rely on their own abilities.

If his own family’s worthless rascal couldn’t keep Qingqing, then he deserved it!

Elder Jiang: "Comrade Zhou, do you have any plans later? If not, let’s go eat together and celebrate for Qingqing?"

Zhou Hansheng could read the room.

Besides Miss Shi and the Zhou Family, he was the only one giving him an opportunity to pursue Miss Shen.

Elder Jiang wanted to assess him, and if he backed down, that would be too irresponsible.

Zhou Hansheng nodded, "I’m free."

Shen Qingqing: "Aren’t you working this afternoon?"

He was supposed to, but he could swap shifts.

Zhou Hansheng: "Wait for me a few minutes, or you can go to the nearest restaurant first, I’ll be there shortly."

The old man was inviting someone for a meal and was afraid they’d compete to pay or wouldn’t order freely.

He said, "Then we’ll go first."

It was just the right time to order the food, and by the time Doctor Xiao Zhou arrived, it would be about right.

The old man was stubborn, and Shen Qingqing and Madam Jiang could only go along with him.

The three of them walked toward the outside of the hospital.

Suddenly, they heard a clamorous commotion.

At the end of the corridor, several people were holding a young, strong man.

The strong man held a knife, "Quack doctors! Didn’t you say surgery could cure him? Why did my child die! Give me back my child! Quack doctors!"

The man was shouting while trying to rush into the doctor’s office with the knife.

His state was frenzied, looking very frightening.

People around him were either holding him back or screaming in fear, rushing to call for help.

Not far off, a crowd had formed, but because of the knife in the man’s hand, apart from the man’s relatives, no one dared come near.

Though such things happened in hospitals, it was Shen Qingqing’s first time seeing such a scene.

Seeing the knife, she felt a chill down her spine and wanted to leave quickly to avoid trouble.

The old man, who had been righteous all his life and was accustomed to drawing his sword to help in crises, tutted and was about to stop this behavior.

Madam Jiang pulled him back, "Dad, you’re so old already, don’t join the fray, what if you get hurt?"

"I’m in great health, and I can still do grapples, he can’t hurt me."

Madam Jiang felt a headache, "That was in your younger days, we must acknowledge aging and not meddle."

The old man had a heart condition, and he needed good care to avoid injuries!

The man had a knife in his hand, and if anything happened, it wouldn’t be good.

She gave Shen Qingqing a hint to pull the old man’s other arm, so they could leave quickly.

Shen Qingqing admitted she was cowardly; at times like this, she didn’t dare take risks.

Nor did she want the elders to intervene.

"So many people are holding him back, Grandpa, let’s go, they probably called the police already."

Madam Jiang: "The police station is nearby; someone will come quickly. Dad, let’s go."

If they hadn’t seen this, it would have been fine, but having witnessed it, the old man refused to leave.

The knife-wielding man threatened the safety of those around him.

He had to protect the safety of the people!

"I won’t attack. I’ll engage him in psychological warfare to buy time until the police comrades arrive and the problem is resolved."

Madam Jiang still wouldn’t let go, "With so many people here, there’s no need for you to psychologically battle him, especially given your age. If someone needs to step forward, it shouldn’t be you."

Shen Qingqing echoed, "The ones holding him are probably his family, and more people would only agitate him."

In the end, they didn’t manage to leave smoothly.

When the strong man couldn’t break into the doctor’s office, he wanted to take a patient hostage to vent his anger.

His child had died.

Died on the hospital operating table.

Why should others live happily?!

Die!

Die, all of you!

Don’t live anymore!

Emotionally, growing increasingly out of control, the strong man brandished the knife, "Why are you all still alive!"

A woman cried, pulling on his clothing, "Don’t do this, surely the child wouldn’t want to see you lose it!"

"You’re the pillar of our family, what are we supposed to do if something happened to you?"

"Murder is a crime, you’d go to jail!"

The man heard nothing, still searching for a target.

But given the earlier commotion, what patient would dare watch for fun?

They had already scattered.

Those who hid back in their wards even closed the doors, afraid that the knife-wielding madman would suddenly break in and harm them.

The frenzied man scanned around and settled his sights on Shen Qingqing and her group.

Two women and an old man.

The weakest combination.

In a frenzy, the strong man, like an ox, easily broke free from his family’s hold and rushed towards them.

His eyes were wild, face distorted, staring fiercely at them.

At a glance, you could tell exactly who he was targeting.

The old man instinctively shielded Shen Qingqing and her company behind him.

Though advanced in age and poor health, the old man’s sharpness in that moment couldn’t be matched by an ordinary person.

As the strong man charged, he seized the opportunity and struck the other’s weapon-bearing arm with a walking stick.

With a clang, the knife fell to the ground.

The old man, using the walking stick, tried to sweep away the weapon, but being of old age, his vision wasn’t good, and he missed.

Shen Qingqing didn’t know where her courage came from; while her mind was still buzzing, her foot had already kicked the knife away.

The enraged man, provoked to the point of losing all sense, grabbed Shen Qingqing’s arm and yanked her over.

"Qingqing!"

Elder Jiang and Madam Jiang gasped simultaneously, fear and tension identical on their faces.

In such danger, Shen Qingqing, in contrast, calmed down.

Without the knife, she shouldn’t be losing her life.

The old man sternly said, "Don’t hurt her, she’s a patient, just like your child, a pitiful soul."

Mentioning the child, the strong man paused.

Then tears and mucus streamed down his face.

Gripping Shen Qingqing’s hair tightly, "Why! Why are you against me! They’re all patients, why can you live well!"

As he spoke, the man produced a spare knife from his pocket.

"If I can’t have peace, neither can you! Having someone accompany me in death, it’s worth it!"

The old man squinted, "Your child wasn’t harmed by her. Killing her will only bring shame to your child and family!"

"So, is my child supposed to die for nothing?! They said it was a minor operation... How could a minor operation result in death!"

Elder Jiang tried to calm him, "Who was the attending physician? I’ll help you investigate, but first, release my granddaughter; she’s innocent."

"Investigate?"

The man sneered, "Who do you think you are to help me investigate? Even if it’s investigated, so what? Will they admit it’s their mistake? Can my child come back to life?"

Elder Jiang: "At least you can uncover the truth."

"I don’t need the truth, I just want everyone to suffer like me!"

The man raised his arm high, about to plunge the knife into Shen Qingqing’s body.

Screams echoed around them.

Someone cried out Shen Qingqing’s name, fraught with panic...
