Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Gunshots on a Rainy Night 3

What’s the use of being so fluent in foreign languages? If time could give her a chance to choose again, she would definitely become a doctor, to save Niu Rang at times like this, instead of helplessly watching Niu Rang die in front of her.

Nuoyin had been standing by He Zhilan and Niu Rang’s side, holding an umbrella for them, even though the heavy rain came and went. Now, only a drizzle remained, yet both of their bodies were already soaked.

The sudden downpour had not only dampened the hearts of the two onlookers but also extinguished Niu Rang’s life.

After the police arrived at the scene, they followed routine and rushed Niu Rang to the hospital. However, with a gunshot wound right to the heart and so many other wounds bleeding, by the time he got to the hospital, the doctor just shook his head to tell everyone, he had been dead for some time already.

In the hospital mortuary, He Zhilan sat alone, looking at Niu Rang, covered with a white cloth, having cried so much that she had no strength left to speak.

When Xing Ye received the call and rushed over, what he saw was He Zhilan, who looked like she had lost her soul, sitting beside Niu Rang’s corpse, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on Niu Rang.

"What happened?" Xing Ye didn’t know Niu Rang, as he had retired from the military by the time Niu Rang enlisted, so he was unaware of Niu Rang’s identity. But he knew that He Zhilan wasn’t an impetuous person. If it weren’t for something significant, He Zhilan wouldn’t have called him late at night, asking him to come back right away.

"This little punk, I don’t know what happened to him. He was found dead in the alley he often frequents tonight, from a gunshot wound, shot right through the heart, and died before he could be saved." The young policeman by his side never expected to stir Xing Ye, probably worried about being held accountable, so he hurriedly continued, "Actually, with punks like this dying, it’s one less social scourge. His death is nothing to mourn."

Hearing this, Xing Ye knew something was amiss. Indeed, He Zhilan, who was sitting on the side, suddenly turned her head, glaring fiercely at the policeman.

"What do you mean by one less scourge if one dies? What do you mean his death isn’t worthy of mourning?" He Zhilan slowly rose from her chair, "What do you know? You understand nothing. How can you speak of him like that? The police station is so close to the scene of the incident; did you crawl here? It took you a whole half hour to arrive? If you had arrived sooner, maybe, just maybe, he might have still had a chance to be rushed to the hospital. Maybe he wouldn’t have died!"

"You, get out!" Xing Ye called the policeman out. Then he consoled He Zhilan briefly, saying, "What exactly happened? Do you know him?"

"Niu Rang! He’s from the same military unit as my brother; he’s a soldier, not some punk!" He Zhilan spoke, unable to control her tears, "Xing Ye, I watched Niu Rang die in front of me, my hands are covered in his blood, but I couldn’t save him. Now that he’s dead, should he also accept the insult of these civil servants?"

"A soldier?" Xing Ye was taken aback.

"I haven’t seen him for several months in the military. I ran into him in S Province, so I asked my brother, and only knew the day before yesterday that he was working undercover. I was afraid to cause him trouble, so I avoided the places he might go in S Province as much as I could. But I never expected to hear a gunshot tonight, and even less that Niu Rang would die."
