Chapter 46 Thriller
Chapter 46 Thriller
An Rushong really couldn't understand why the whole world said that India's IT technology was very strong. At least in his opinion, Haji and Kulma were just stupid as hell. To put it in one sentence, "a wall of dung cannot be plastered."
After working on the fifth floor for more than forty minutes, teaching the two Indian guys step by step how to deal with the problems that occurred in the program, An Rushong only found an excuse to leave when he felt hungry.
He pressed the down button in the elevator room and waited for nearly five minutes, but the elevator didn't come up. The number above the elevator door kept showing "1", and he didn't know whether someone had occupied the elevator or if there was something wrong with this broken thing.
After waiting for a while, there was still no sign of the elevator coming up, so An Rushong simply gave up. He went around to the stairwell and went downstairs directly.
As a result, just as he walked down the stairwell to the fourth floor, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the corridor on the fourth floor. A moment later, with a flash of a figure, Shen Taian with a grim face walked in from the stairwell door.
An Rusong subconsciously stopped and was about to say hello to the other party when he saw more than a dozen people coming in from the stairwell. In the front were three expressionless sturdy men. Behind the three men were several pale, trembling girls.
Almost intuitively, An Rusong realized that something was wrong. He gave up the idea of greeting Shen Taian and consciously stepped aside.
Shen Taian walked past him with a frown on his face, as if he didn't see him, and ran downstairs. The girls following behind him looked dazed, and one of them even sprained her ankle when she was walking down the stairs. If she hadn't been supported by the strong man next to her, she would have rolled down the stairs.
The group of people hurried downstairs, and An Rushong followed them curiously.
There was a noisy sound of footsteps, as a group of people ran from the fourth floor to the first floor. An Rushong watched these people walk straight through the lobby and head straight for the parking lot in the pouring rain.
An Rushong did not go straight to the parking lot. He had already realized that something had happened because the brothers Zhao Chenghao and Zhao Jingsheng were missing. At the same time, there was something wrong with the girls taken away by Shen Taian. Not only were their conditions wrong, but their number was also wrong. An Rushong had noticed just now that there were only six of them, one missing.
Walking out of the front hall's main entrance, there were four or five sturdy men standing quietly under the eaves in front of the building. They were gathered in the corner on the left side of the building's entrance, whispering something.
An Rusong stood in front of the door and lit a cigarette, then approached the strong men as if nothing had happened. He was just curious and wanted to ask what happened.
Just as he was about to walk up to the strong men, he suddenly realized something was wrong, because just outside the strong men, at the edge of the eaves, what was flowing down was not the rain he had imagined, but a red liquid.
The red liquid was like unevenly dyed paint, sometimes dark and sometimes light, making people feel uncomfortable just by looking at it.
An Rushong subconsciously took two steps forward and tilted his head to look above the eaves.
Just by taking a glance, he felt as if struck by lightning. He involuntarily took several steps back, and finally lost his balance and sat down on the ground.
The filter of the cigarette between his fingers hit the ground, and the whole cigarette fell out from between his fingers. The cigarette butt rolled down the back of his hand, but he didn't even feel the heat.
The canopy above the front door of the building was made of concrete, with a staircase that extended out for about ten square meters. There were also some decorative steel frames above the platform. At this moment, a body was hanging in the position that An Rusong saw.
It was the body of a woman. She had obviously fallen from a great height. The lower half of her body was hanging on the steel frame on the top of the eaves, and the naked upper half of her body was hanging on the outside of the eaves, with the upper and lower bodies forming a right angle.
The rusty steel frame pierced her body, and the sight of her skin torn and her internal organs exposed was simply unbearable to look at.
Most importantly, the woman looked like she was dying with her eyes open. Her long hair was hanging down and scattered on both sides of her head. Because it was wet by the rain, it was sticky in clumps. Between these clumps of hair, a blue and purple face was revealed. Her wide-open eyes were staring down, as if she wanted to deeply imprint every person she saw into her pupils.
An Rushong was really frightened. He wanted to look away from the woman's face, but his brain seemed to have completely lost control of his body and he couldn't even move his eyeballs.
He tried to struggle to sit up from the ground, but his hands, feet, arms and legs had no feeling at all, and he couldn't even muster any strength.
Fortunately, several strong men standing nearby saw him, and two of them came over and helped him up from the ground.
It was not until then that An Rushong's eyes moved away from the woman's face. He looked blankly at the sturdy man who helped him up. He only saw the other's lips moving, and he was obviously saying something, but he could not hear the other's voice.
The two strong men obviously didn't want to keep supporting him here, so they dragged him back to the front hall, put him against the wall, and let him slide to the ground.
With his butt and back pressed against the cool wall, An Rushong didn't know how long he had been sitting there. When he came to his senses, he saw two policemen squatting in front of him.
The police asked him some questions, but he didn't answer a word. Then, Shen Taian came from nowhere and took the two policemen away. An Rusong just sat there, watching people walk in front of him and then walk away. Finally, Shen Taian came with two people dressed as nurses and helped him to an ambulance.
This accident really scared An Rushong.
Yes, in his previous life, An Rusong was not a good person, but his "evil" was limited. The program codes he sold may have bankrupted many people and forced many people to jump off the roof. But to be honest, his hands had never been stained with blood, let alone killed anyone.
Therefore, when he saw the corpse hanging on the eaves, his whole spirit collapsed with fear.
Of course, what really shocked him was not just the corpse, but also the fact that he recognized the face of the corpse.
That woman... No, to be precise, that girl was someone An Rushong knew, although they were not very familiar with each other. But not long ago, the other party had just called him "Brother Rushong", and in just a blink of an eye, the girl turned into a corpse, and a corpse with a miserable death.
Just think about it, how could he not have any feelings at all?
As dusk approached, the heavy rain that had lasted almost the entire day was still falling.
In the emergency room of Samsung Medical Center, An Rushong watched the nurse pull out the infusion needle for him, then he turned over and sat up from the bed.
The cell phone next to him was out of battery. Fortunately, before it was about to shut down automatically, An Rushong called Sun Manzhu, found an excuse, and told her that he would not be going back tonight.
After half a day of recuperation, mainly due to the sedative, An Rusong has now recovered. However, he cannot think too much now, because as long as he thinks about something, the girl's face will appear in his mind.
He turned over and got out of the bed, put on his shoes, walked out of the ward and went to the nurses' station.
He wanted to ask the nurse for a mobile phone charger to charge his phone. He was eager to contact Zhao Chenghao and ask him what had happened.
It was almost time for the nurses to change shifts. An Rusong asked three nurses in a row, but none of them could get a charger. These beautiful angels always used the sweetest smiles, the gentlest tone, and the most resolute attitude to reject the most basic needs of patients - at least that's what An Rusong thought.
Just when he was secretly annoyed and wanted to find an excuse to make a scene, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
Looking back angrily, An Rushong was thinking about saying something to the other party, but he suddenly discovered that the person standing behind him was Zhao Chenghao, whom he was eager to contact.
However, Zhao Chenghao looked quite embarrassed at this time. His face was covered with bruises, and there was a band-aid on the left cheek. Most importantly, his right arm was probably broken, and it was covered with plaster from the forearm to the elbow, and hung on the neck with a white gauze.
An Rusong didn't ask him how he got injured. He just grabbed the collar of his hospital gown and asked loudly, "What happened? Why did Huixiu..."
He didn't finish his words because he didn't know what to say next.
Zhao Chenghao did not struggle. He just grabbed An Rushong's hand and said in a tone that was almost gritting his teeth: "It's Liu Taihe! I'm going to kill him!"
The noise made by the two alarmed the nurses in the nurses' station. They thought they were going to fight and hurried out to try to stop them.
An Rushong knew that this was not the place to talk, so he explained a few words to the nurses and then directly pulled Zhao Chenghao to the stairwell.
"Do you have any cigarettes?" Zhao Chenghao, who was wearing a hospital gown, asked in the stairwell.
An Rusong did not change into his hospital gown, so he still had his cigarette with him. He took the cigarette out of his pocket, handed one to the other party, and lit one for himself, then asked impatiently, "What did Liu Taihe do?!"
Zhao Chenghao did not answer directly. He just sat there smoking. After he had smoked half a cigarette, he told An Rushong what had happened in a slightly trembling voice.
