Wan Liansheng and another police officer quickly drew their pistols and cocked them, then they all headed towards the rooftop.
As they were about to reach the rooftop, Gu Xingdong patted Wan Liansheng's shoulder, signaling him to hold the person back, while he turned towards the window of the fifth-floor resident, intending to rescue Rui Rui from behind.
This was extremely dangerous without any protective measures, but as they had seen when they came up, Sun Ling and Rui Rui were standing at the edge of the rooftop. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not open fire, which meant Rui Rui's absolute safety could not be guaranteed.
Gu Xingdong could not afford to gamble on any uncertain danger.
In the end, Wan Liansheng nodded, and they began to split up.
On the rooftop, Chen Lishu, holding her stomach, was about to kneel when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs behind her. Soon, Wan Liansheng and a few others appeared in their sight.
Sun Ling saw what Wan Liansheng was holding, the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at her, like an endless vortex that could suck her in at any moment. She was very scared, her previous arrogance completely gone, and she yanked Rui Rui backward.
Now, the child had become her only protection.
Seeing her movement, Chen Lishu's heart tightened, "Rui Rui!"
"Sun Ling, let the child go quickly," Wan Liansheng said in a deep voice, his gun steadily aimed at Sun Ling.
"You, you don't come any closer, or I'll jump down with him," Sun Ling said, her steps unconsciously retreating.
No, this was not the outcome she wanted. She only wanted to retaliate against Chen Lishu. Everything had been planned so perfectly; how did the police get here?
Wasn't she supposed to have quietly dealt with the brat in her hands, and then watched Chen Lishu suffer unspeakably?
She didn't want to go to jail; she absolutely could not go to jail.
"Alright, alright, we won't come any closer. You calm down first. As long as you let the child go now, no major disaster will have occurred, and the law will definitely be lenient with you. Sun Ling, please don't be stubborn."
Wan Liansheng looked nervously at Sun Ling and Rui Rui, who had already retreated to the edge, and stopped his steps, his voice softening considerably.
Seeing Sun Ling's current state, Wan Liansheng couldn't help but place his hope on Gu Xingdong, hoping he would quickly find a breakthrough to rescue the hostage from behind.
"Sun Ling, you want to retaliate against me, don't you? How about I swap with Rui Rui? What do you think about me going over there?"
Chen Lishu and Zhang Xue were both standing relatively close to Sun Ling. She suddenly spotted a pair of hands on the edge of the rooftop behind Sun Ling.
Chen Lishu had noticed when Wan Liansheng and his group arrived. Gu Xingdong was not among them, and she suddenly had a bold guess.
She needed to help Gu Xingdong distract Sun Ling.
After taking two deep breaths, Chen Lishu looked at Sun Ling and said with a relatively calm expression, "He's just a child. With so many people here, you definitely can't escape. Why don't you let him go and I'll go over there instead?"
Hearing her words, Sun Ling indeed stopped moving erratically. The panicked and scared expression on her face gradually turned thoughtful. Everyone held their breath at the sight.
"Oh, you don't know yet, but I'm pregnant with twins. The person you want to retaliate against is me. Let me go over, that's three for one. The police comrades will pay more attention, and you can make any demands you want. They will definitely agree."
Chen Lishu's voice was very gentle, coaxing her, and she began to walk towards Sun Ling, step by step.
A hint of loosening appeared on Sun Ling's face. She looked in the direction of Wan Liansheng, then looked at Chen Lishu, "Fine, you come over and exchange with this brat."
Even if she had to die, she wanted to pull Chen Lishu down with her.
Chen Lishu walked slowly towards Sun Ling, her peripheral vision catching Gu Xingdong already sticking out half of his body. She didn't dare to make any big movements on her face, but instead focused on looking directly at Sun Ling, racking her brain to attract her attention.
"Sun Ling, you really don't need to retaliate against me. That matter back then would have been reported by someone else even if I hadn't. What's fake is fake. But you are still young, you can start all over again. Your parents only have you as their daughter. Is it worth it to ruin your youth for revenge against me?"
"Shut up!" Sun Ling's emotions were on the verge of collapse. Hearing Chen Lishu's words, she suddenly shouted.
"Easy for you to say. My family already paid to settle the matter. It's all your fault, you bitch, why did you harm me? If it weren't for you, my family wouldn't be like this now, and I wouldn't have had the most precious thing a woman possesses taken by that disgusting person Wang Er Biao. I am like this today because of you!"
Seeing Gu Xingdong's hands supporting the edge and about to climb up, Sun Ling suddenly took a step back in agitation, her body almost bumping into Gu Xingdong who was about to climb up.
"Be careful!" Chen Lishu exclaimed subconsciously, and at the same time, she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
Sun Ling clearly also noticed Gu Xingdong. A flash of panic crossed her eyes, and she tried to retreat to the side with Rui Rui, but Gu Xingdong didn't give her that chance.
With a slight exertion of his arm, he leaped up agilely. At the same time, he reached out and scooped Rui Rui from Sun Ling's arms. As soon as he got the child, he quickly kicked out his right leg.
A gust of wind passed, and Sun Ling flew directly towards Wan Liansheng for three to four meters before falling to the ground, dazed for a long time.
Rui Rui landed in Gu Xingdong's arms. Feeling his father's firm embrace, the pale little face, already frightened, finally relaxed a lot.
"Rui Rui, how are you?" Chen Lishu quickly walked over, knelt down, and hugged him tightly.
"Mom..."
Rui Rui finally stopped holding back, wrapped his arms around Chen Lishu's neck, and cried out in grievance.
"It's okay, be good, it's okay," Chen Lishu gently comforted him while patting his thin, small body.
On the other side, after Sun Ling was kicked to the ground by Gu Xingdong, Wan Liansheng and the other police officer quickly put away their guns, stepped forward, and handcuffed her, taking control.
"Get up, come back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."
"My, my stomach..."
Sun Ling suddenly clutched her stomach and curled up, letting out a cry of pain.
Seeing her state, Wan Liansheng unceremoniously pulled her up from the ground. "You were quite spirited just now, causing such a scene. Now you're lying on the ground pretending to be a shrimp? What were you thinking earlier? Even the Emperor of Heaven can't save you. I advise you to come with us honestly. Seeing that you're a woman, don't wait for..."
Wan Liansheng trailed off.
"Boss, this, what's going on?" The other police officer stared blankly at the pants stained with blood below Sun Ling.
"Damn!" Wan Liansheng cursed. Looking at the amount of bleeding, it was clear she had a miscarriage.
