Chapter 133 To Live or To Die
In the darkness, four security guards tightly held Liao Meili, roughly dragging her out of the school.
Emerging into the darkness, one of the security guards looked down at Liao Meili and said, "Which hospital should we take her to? Her injuries are quite serious."
Another security guard immediately replied, "Wait, let me call Miss Wu first to ask for her instructions!"
The security guards immediately stopped.
The security guard dialed Wu Yuqing's number and immediately asked, "Hello, Miss Wu, which hospital should we take this injured student to now?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuqing immediately said in a low voice, "Don't send her to any hospital. Just wait at the school gate. I've arranged for a car to pick up my classmate at the school gate. The car will be here soon, so you don't need to worry about it."
The security guards immediately agreed.
The security guards, still holding Liao Meili, brought her to the school gate.
As expected, not long after, a black panel van stopped in front of the school.
Two people got out of the van. They nodded at the security guards and said, "We are the ones Miss Wu sent to pick up her classmate to the hospital. Thank you for your help. We'll take it from here."
The two men directly grabbed Liao Meili, threw her into the back of the panel van, and then slammed the door shut with a clang.
Liao Meili finally realized the danger. She was a patient with extensive burns, her skin in pain. Every minute of delay would worsen her condition.
Moreover, skin is the largest protective organ of the human body. Now that her skin was burned, it was very prone to infection. Once a widespread infection occurred, it could lead to sepsis or other more serious conditions, at which point her life might not be saved, let alone her burns healed.
Liao Meili kept banging on the inside of the van.
She wanted clean, sterile gauze to wrap her wounds, otherwise, even if she reached the hospital, her condition would be dire.
However, no one paid her any attention. Sitting in the back of the panel van, Liao Meili could only feel the extreme speed and rough bumps of the vehicle.
Liao Meili was confused. She couldn't understand why she hadn't been taken to a hospital yet. At this speed, she should have already reached the farthest hospital in Qingzhou City.
Furthermore, there were two top-tier hospitals within three kilometers of Qingzhou University. Why wasn't she taken to one of them?
After more than an hour, the vehicle stopped.
Liao Meili breathed a sigh of relief. She used all her strength to crawl to the door.
At this moment, the van door opened, and two burly men stood at the entrance.
Liao Meili frowned and said angrily, "Which hospital are you taking me to? Don't you know that for burn patients, time is life?"
"Even if you're taking me to a distant, better hospital, you should have at least bandaged me before bringing me here. Doing it this way will cause me to get infected all over," Liao Meili said, attempting to get out.
Suddenly, her eyes turned cold because she realized this was not a hospital at all, but a small forest. Not far from the forest was a valley, and below the valley, a turbulent river flowed.
Liao Meili stared at the scene for two seconds, stunned.
At this moment, one of the men sneered, shaking his head and saying, "How pathetic. Even at death's door, she still thinks she's being taken to a hospital."
The other man laughed and said, "It's all because he's unreliable and threatened our Miss after messing up. If she doesn't die, who will?"
Liao Meili finally understood after hearing their conversation.
So, Wu Yuqing intended to silence her! But how could Wu Yuqing have such a cruel heart? This was murder! Especially considering how good her relationship with Wu Yuqing had always been, and how much she had done for Wu Yuqing, only to be killed by her people now.
Liao Meili retreated, screaming loudly in terror, "Help! Help!"
The two men's faces were indifferent. One of them pulled out a dagger, while the other picked up a shovel and prepared to work on something nearby.
Just then, with a bang, one of the bodyguards holding the shovel fell to the ground.
The other bodyguard, holding the dagger, turned his head.
He saw a beautiful woman holding a pair of nunchucks, walking towards him. This woman was Zhu Que.
Zhu Que smiled slightly and said, "Oh my! Quite a professional job. Looking at how you handle bodies, you've probably buried quite a few people here before, haven't you?"
"Damn it, meddling busybody. You're asking for death."
The bodyguard lunged at Zhu Que with the dagger, but in the next instant, a precise bang from the nunchucks struck his head, knocking him unconscious.
Zhu Que walked to the back of the van and looked at Liao Meili inside.
By now, pus was starting to seep from Liao Meili's burns.
Zhu Que gave a slight cold smile and asked Liao Meili in a stern voice, "Do you want to die or live?"
Hearing Zhu Que's words, Liao Meili quickly crawled over and cried, "Live, I want to live!"
...
On the campus of Qingzhou University, the originally perfect bonfire party became a topic of gossip due to Liao Meili's unexpected appearance.
Liu Ran looked with some concern, sighing, "Alas, I don't know how much of Liao Meili's injuries can be healed. I hope she can be discharged soon. If there are any scars on her face, I can ask Chen Yang to try."
Gao Juan beside her sighed and said, "This is retribution. She injured your face before, and now she's injured herself. Forget it, let's go back."
"By the way, we still need to work hard on the design for the Qingzhou University Centennial Logo competition tomorrow!"
The surrounding students all surrounded Liu Ran, laughing and saying, "Yes, yes, Liu Ran, you were the Star of the Bonfire today. Tomorrow, we'll win that design competition!"
"I heard the prize money is very generous, 500,000 yuan!"
"What do you guys know! 500,000 yuan is just a bonus. Qingzhou University is after all one of the top two universities in the province, a 985 university with high national recognition. If we win first place tomorrow, various media outlets will come to interview us, and that kind of exposure is worth more than 500,000 yuan."
"Exactly! For us in design, reputation is money. If we can really win first place in tomorrow's design competition, it will be much easier to take on design projects in the future."
The crowd surrounded Liu Ran and headed towards the dormitory area.
Liu Ran temporarily put aside Liao Meili's injuries and fully devoted herself to the Centennial Qingzhou University Logo design.
She wanted to use this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for her future entrepreneurship and her design brand company, "Yang Yang Yang."
