The man held a steel pipe, which he repeatedly struck against Qin Tianyi's back. Susu watched as Qin Tianyi, unable to withstand the blows, spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Stop hitting him! Stop! You'll kill him!" she cried.
Qin Tianyi looked up at Susu, trying to feign indifference. He smiled at her and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? These few hits are nothing, I'm fine..."
But before he could finish speaking, he couldn't help but cough, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Seeing him like this, Susu felt as if her heart were being slowly carved. She turned to Shu Yan, who was watching indifferently, and pleaded, "Please, tell your people to stop! It's me you hate, kill me and vent your anger, but let him go!"
Shu Yan waved her hand, signaling the man with the steel pipe to stop. She walked towards Qin Tianyi with elegant grace, placing a foot on his shoulder. She said to him with mock pity, "Aren't you always so strong? Is it worth it to be on the ground like a dog for a woman? Qin Tianyi, I'll give you one last chance. Her begging me is useless. If you beg me yourself, I can let you leave here alive."
Qin Tianyi said with a laugh, "Beg you for what?"
"Beg me to marry you, and say you'll divorce this bitch!"
"Dream on!" Qin Tianyi scoffed. "Look at yourself now, a hideous murderer, a fugitive... No one will want you!"
Shu Yan kicked him hard on the shoulder, then crouched down and grabbed his hair. She laughed instead of showing anger and said, "Brother Tianyi, I really don't understand what I lack compared to this Gu Susu? Since you like her so much, I'll ruin her right in front of you!"
She smiled and released his hair, then stood up and said to the two men guarding Susu, "You're lucky. Have your fill first, and then I'll disfigure her face."
"You dare!" Qin Tianyi roared, struggling to get up from the ground.
But the person behind him struck him down again.
The two men holding Susu were one tall and one short; they were the same men who had tied her up.
They had already coveted Susu's beauty in the car, and now that they had the opportunity, they eagerly lunged at her.
Susu screamed in fear, "Don't touch me, get away!"
Qin Tianyi's eyes turned red, like a beast struggling to break free from its cage.
As the person behind him raised the steel pipe to strike him again, he instantly flipped over and grabbed the steel pipe from the man's hand with his backhand.
At that moment, the person guarding the door rushed in and said, "Bad news, there are many police cars heading towards the warehouse!"
Shu Yan and her subordinates were stunned.
Qin Tianyi seized the opportunity to twist the man's wrist, snatch the steel pipe from his hand, and strike him on the head. He immediately ran towards Susu.
The two men who were about to harass Susu were knocked to the ground by Qin Tianyi before they could react.
Qin Tianyi quickly untied the ropes binding Susu's hands and feet. Hearing the sound of police cars outside and seeing her subordinates scattering in all directions, Shu Yan despaired, realizing that the situation was lost.
She stared hatefully at Qin Tianyi, who was untying Susu. She picked up a barrel of gasoline at her feet, unscrewed the lid, and splashed it towards them. "Qin Tianyi, how dare you call the police! You all deserve to die, all of you!"
Qin Tianyi pulled Susu, whose restraints were now gone, behind him, blocking the gasoline. He tried to distance himself from Shu Yan and said, "What madness is this? Surrendering to the police is your only way out!"
"Way out?" Shu Yan splashed the remaining gasoline everywhere and laughed coldly, "I was driven to this point by you, and I have no way out. Today, I'll make you die with me!"
Saying this, she took out a lighter. After escaping from the psychiatric hospital, Jia Nanfang had sent people to meet her, intending to send her away.
But she was unwilling. She used the money Jia Nanfang gave her for her escape to hire these people she had used before. She only wanted to get revenge on Qin Tianyi and Gu Susu before leaving Lancheng, to humiliate them, and then send them all to hell.
In a short period, she thought of having someone first capture Gu Susu and the child. She repeatedly instructed her subordinates to at least capture Gu Susu, and it would be even better if they could capture the child.
Her two useless subordinates failed to capture the child, but they managed to capture Gu Susu.
As expected, with Gu Susu in hand, Qin Tianyi quickly fell into her trap.
Qin Tianyi's love for Gu Susu filled her with both hatred and pain. In fact, regardless of whether Qin Tianyi begged her today, she would not have let the two of them go.
This barrel of gasoline was meant to be their final gift, but she hadn't expected the police to find them so soon, just as the show was about to begin.
She found it amusing. She thought Qin Tianyi loved Gu Susu so much, but before coming here, hadn't he called the police without regard for Gu Susu's life?
Thinking this, she felt somewhat better. She looked at Qin Tianyi and chuckled, "Do you know what is piled up here? It's all expired fertilizer, which is also flammable. You think you're protecting her by blocking the gasoline, but she'll still be burned to death. As soon as I light this lighter, this warehouse will instantly turn into a sea of fire! No one will escape, you will all be buried with me!"
Qin Tianyi looked directly at her and said, "I'll be buried with you, let her go..."
"We'll go together!" Susu felt a stab in her heart. She stepped out from behind him, tightly holding his hand, and looked up, saying softly, "Don't abandon me. The one who survives is the most tormented. I'm not afraid of death."
Shu Yan stared at them with despair and indifference, hating them, and sneered, "You slut, even when death is imminent, you're still putting on a show of dying together!"
At this moment, the police outside the warehouse began to pry open the door. Shu Yan saw some of her subordinates trying to climb out of the skylight to escape. These useless people had to die too.
If any of them survived, Jia Nanfang would be investigated. Who would avenge her after her death?
She no longer hesitated and picked up the lighter.
Qin Tianyi held Susu's hand tightly. It was time to fight for their lives. He whispered, "Then let's live together."
Susu hadn't yet understood what he meant when she saw Shu Yan light the lighter and throw it towards them with a shrill laugh.
Qin Tianyi dodged the thrown lighter with Susu and shouted, "Run!"
The lighter landed on a patch of gasoline on the ground, and with a roar, the flames erupted.
Qin Tianyi held Susu's hand tightly and ran towards the warehouse door. But the terrifying heat wave behind them still lunged at them like fiery snakes.
Susu felt the smell, like marsh gas, growing stronger. She felt enveloped by the heat, but she didn't dare to look back or stop. She followed Qin Tianyi in a desperate sprint.
When they reached the door, the police had just pried it open. A wave of heat and thick smoke rushed out. The police who were prying the door rushed back, and someone shouted, "It's on fire! Contact the fire department quickly!"
