Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 356 Obedient and Clingy Younger Brother (67)

“They may be destroying evidence right now,” Wu Qidong instructed. “Try to stop their actions.”

By the time you find the house you're looking for, it's no longer considered a house.

Perhaps the police pursuit was too swift and too intense, causing them to flee in panic.

The place they were currently staying in was actually a prefabricated house that had been abandoned but not yet demolished on this undeveloped land.

The armed police have not arrived yet.

As Jin Shuhe and Lü Chun approached, they smelled something burning coming from inside the house.

The two men exchanged a glance, knowing that whatever they were burning would be crucial to their conviction.

Both of them were carrying standard-issue weapons. But to their utter surprise, the moment they kicked open the door and rushed in, they were met with guns and bullets on the table.

They actually hoarded so many weapons and ammunition!

On the ground to the side, a pile of things had been burned beyond recognition, and next to it was a sack of paper documents and other things, which looked like they were going to be burned again.

There were three people in the room, two of whom had appeared in the photos taken by Wu Xiaohe, one of whom was the wanted criminal surnamed Lin.

Of the three of them, Jin Shuhe and Lü Chun, the latter two would be completely overwhelmed by the variety and quantity of weapons the other side possessed if a direct confrontation were to occur.

The armed police will take a few more minutes to arrive.

These men are all desperate criminals. The crimes they committed, if brought to court, would be enough to cost them their lives. Therefore, they certainly won't surrender obediently; they'll definitely be thinking of ways to fight to the death...

One of the people on the other side has already raised his gun!

In the brief moment when both sides were stunned, Jin Shuhe suddenly rushed into the house!

"Bam—"

In the instant the person on the far right instinctively pulled the trigger, Jin Shuhe was hit in the chest by a bullet.

Fortunately, he had already put on a bulletproof vest in the car. At the same time, his arm was already wrapped around the neck of the man surnamed Xing, and the muzzle of a gun was pressed against his neck.

He pushed the person wearing only a shirt in front of him, blocking most of his body.

The instant he moved, Lü Chun immediately realized his intention, rolled backward, and used the wall as cover to protect herself.

"Don't shoot!"

Lin shouted loudly, and the other two, fearing the consequences, dared not make a move.

"Big brother!"

"Brother! If this continues, none of us will escape!"

After an unknown period of stalemate, one of the men confronting Jin Shuhe, his eyes flashing with malice, forced out these words through gritted teeth.

"Once they get the evidence, none of you will escape!" The man surnamed Lin felt that they wanted to eliminate him as well, and the muscles on his face twitched.

He tried to break free from Jin Shuhe, but felt that the hand holding him was as unshakeable as steel bars, revealing the young police officer's determination to grab him.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his vision blurred. Suddenly, the piercing sound of police sirens rapidly approached from afar.

Since the beginning of this, Wu Qidong has been unable to contact Jin Shuhe and the other person. Realizing something was wrong, the armed police rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.

"ah--"

The oppressive atmosphere and sense of fear had extinguished the other two men's will to kill. They grabbed their guns, jumped out of the window, and fled for their lives.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, I never imagined that I would be in Pucheng, where everything would be over in such a short time!

"Damn it!" Lin roared, ignoring the gun barrel pressed against his neck.

He suddenly elbowed Jin Shuhe backward, and by sheer coincidence, the spot where Jin Shuhe had just been hit by a bullet. The impact at close range was incredibly strong; the fact that he could hold on for even a moment was a testament to his willpower.

The moment Jin Shuhe saw Lü Chun rush in, he curled up and fell backward, his head hitting the wall. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned deathly pale. The situation was truly frightening.

"Shuhe! Has the ambulance arrived? Where is the ambulance?!" Lü Chun knelt on the ground, stabilizing Jin Shuhe's head and neck to ensure he could breathe freely.

She dared not move him, and the armed police nearby were also startled, sending people out to quickly bring in the medical personnel who had come to her aid.

Criminal investigation and forensic teams arrived shortly afterward and took away all the evidence in the house, both burned and unburned, as well as the firearms and ammunition.

When Jin Shuhe was put into the ambulance, he was not very conscious, had low blood pressure, and was vomiting.

Later, after being admitted to the hospital, the doctor gave a detailed diagnosis and said that it was not closely related to the chest injury, but was probably caused by the head injury. After the surgery, if there were obvious symptoms of concussion, further treatment would be given.

Although the bulletproof vest stopped the bullet from entering his body, the impact was still so great due to the close proximity that it broke his ribs.

The secondary injury caused bone fragments to rub against the pleura, and surgery was the only way to reposition the bone.

After listening to Lü Chun's report, both Captain Xie and Deputy Captain Wu fell silent with serious expressions.

"This kid reacts incredibly fast, able to make the right judgment in the shortest amount of time. He's a natural-born professional!" Captain Xie exclaimed.

"That's incredibly reckless!" Wu Qidong nodded and then shook his head: "If only that shot had hit..."

Wu Qidong knew that Jin Shuhe was right, but he was still terrified.

There is no shortage of brave people here: police officers who were dragged by a car while chasing fugitives, with half of their flesh almost worn away; martyrs who fought with criminals and died from multiple stab wounds...

Bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable, but it is something no one wants to see.

Fortunately, Jin Shuhe did not experience any concussion symptoms after waking up.

Actually, it's not that it doesn't exist...

After taking a few sips of soup, he frowned slightly and pushed it aside.

"what happened?"

Before Lü Chun arrived, she hadn't eaten breakfast herself. She took a steamed bun and sat down to eat it, saying, "Don't you like it? I'll go buy you something else?"

"No, thank you. It's too disgusting."

Jin Shuhe shook his head.

"Should we call a doctor to take a look? Don't be silly! Captain Xie and Deputy Captain Wu were praising your clever little brain this morning. You can't have hit your head and made yourself stupid!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was too heavy, Lü Chun made a joke.

Jin Shuhe thought to himself, "Forget it... Sister Li Ruan will be even angrier then." He was still worried about it.

Even though Sister Li Ruan kissed herself...

Although Sister Li Ruan was all smiles this morning...

But Jin Shuhe knew that Sister Li Ruan was still angry with him.

Sister Li Ruan has a very good temper. Even if they occasionally have a small conflict, neither of them is the type to yell or argue. Usually, they make up smoothly within half a day.

Jin Shuhe really... lacked the skill to coax Sister Li Ruan from getting angry.

"Thanks to our timely intervention, they hadn't had time to destroy many of their documents and computers. After a quick look, we found not only evidence of crimes committed in Pucheng, but also other evidence. We heard from the anti-drug unit that it had led to cases in other places, which can now be investigated together."

"Have all those girls been found?" Jin Shuhe leaned back.

"Most of them have been found, but there wasn't enough time. The rest are still being confirmed." Lü Chun sighed, unsure whether they were still there or had already passed away.

The caregivers and nurses came in together and changed Jin Shuhe's dressing.

"My dear child, just tell your aunt if you need anything!" the caregiver said with a smile.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

When Lü Chun ate her third steamed bun, she couldn't help but ask, "What, are you worried about me eating a few more of your buns?"

"Sister Lü."

"explain."

"How should I apologize to a girl?" Jin Shuhe really couldn't find anyone else to ask...

"Huh?" Lü Chun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, almost choking: "Hahahaha! With whom? With Xiao Lu?"

"Hmm." Since she had already asked, Jin Shuhe nodded.

"Actually, I don't think Xiao Lu is angry with you. Rather than saying she's angry with you, it's more accurate to say she hasn't recovered yet."

"Don't even mention her, I was terrified myself." Lü Chun pointed at him.

"Instead of talking about how to apologize, I think you should reassure her more. It would be too torturous for her to live in fear at home every time you go to work."

Lü Chun sighed: "When I first started working, I lived at home with my parents. Once, I was hit by a car and only got a minor scrape. When I got home, my mom was so scared that she cried all night and asked me if I could change jobs."

"I moved out later. It's not nice to say it like this, but since I'm not around, they don't see what I'm like every day, so it's actually a little easier for them..."

Jin Shuhe looked somewhat embarrassed.

“Of course you two can’t be separated.” Lü Chun asked him, “How much older is Xiao Lu than you?”

"Six years old."

"Wow! You can't tell at all!" Lu Chun said truthfully.

“She definitely understands everything.” Judging from Lu Liruan’s demeanor yesterday, Lü Chun knew that she was not an innocent and fragile little girl.

"You need to make her feel safe, understand? Since you're in a romantic relationship..."

Upon hearing those two words, Jin Shuhe looked up abruptly and nodded.

“She is older than you, but you are still in an equal relationship with her. Just because she is older doesn’t mean she should take care of you, your feelings, or your humanity. You have to take responsibility in a relationship. Just because you call her ‘sister’ doesn’t mean you should treat her like a sister in everything.”

"I don't."

Lu Chunxin said you have no right to speak!

You're just a child who hasn't grown up and hasn't experienced anything!

If you get scared the moment someone speaks, how can you be in a relationship with them? You're still just acting like their younger brother.

"You shouldn't be thinking about how to apologize, but rather what to do, how to put her at ease, how to make her happy... You can't just be her younger brother!"

Jin Shuhe leaned back, feeling a little flustered: Why shouldn't he become Sister Li Ruan's younger brother?

Originally, he was thinking every day about how to let Sister Li Ruan know his feelings, but now... Jin Shuhe's heart was shattered by joy, and he was also a little anxious and helpless: What should he do to be worthy of Sister Li Ruan and not disappoint her?

All the tension and pressure suddenly pressed down on him, leaving him at a loss.

He had been Li Ruan's younger brother for too long. The change in his identity left him completely at a loss as to what to do.

Lü Chun was a little confused: What's going on here?

Lu Liruan went back to get her change of clothes and brought her computer and spare phone. According to the doctor, Jin Shuhe would probably have to stay in the hospital for two weeks.

When she returned to the hospital, Lü Chun had already left.

Several tall, burly men stood in the ward. Lu Liruan peeked through the gap and met Jin Shuhe's gaze.

"Xiao Lu, we've come to see Shuhe, don't be shy!" Wu Qidong smiled.

Qi Silang had heard them talk about Jin Shuhe's beautiful older sister, but this was the first time he had met her. He greeted her with a silly grin.

They didn't stay long before leaving in a hurry.

Leave behind... three large fruit baskets.

"Do you want some?" Lu Liruan took out a mango.

Jin Shuhe shook his head, and Lu Liruan cut it with a knife, preparing to eat it herself.

Then I realized... no matter what I was doing, Jin Shuhe's gaze was always following me, as if if I looked away even slightly, I would turn into a bubble.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?" Lu Liruan sat on the edge of his bed, picked up a piece of mango with a fork, brought it to his lips, touched it, raised an eyebrow, and then put it in her own mouth: "Just smell it. Let's eat liquid food today."

Jin Shuhe subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, and then the next moment, her neck and cheeks turned completely red.

"Oh my..." The obvious color change stunned Lu Liruan.

I was trying to keep a straight face and not give him a nice look, but I ended up laughing so hard that I bent over.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Liruan propped herself up on his leg. "What's wrong with my little brother...? Something's weird."

Upon hearing the word "younger brother," Jin Shuhe subconsciously looked up, remembering what Lü Chun had said to him.

"Sister Li Ruan... um, I listened to the recording very well."

Actually, he hadn't forgotten what happened; it's just that his memory was a bit dull.

After Lü Chun left, he put on his headphones and listened to the recording over and over again, and something gradually became clearer.

"Well, then what?"

Lu Liruan looked into his eyes.

"I don't want to die. I will live well and protect Sister Li Ruan... I won't make any decisions on my own."

He paused for a moment, then said, “Now I feel… I am a useful person. I am a useful person just because I am alive. I really think so. If I had done that yesterday… I wouldn’t have been able to continue searching for the truth for the victims, nor would I have been able to stay by Sister Li Ruan’s side.”

There's nothing we can do... to find out the truth about my mother's case.

Jin Shuhe looked at Lu Liruan: "Sometimes I wonder what the meaning of my life is. Although I haven't figured it out yet, death is meaningless and has no meaning for anyone."

Lu Liruan was surprised; she hadn't expected Jin Shuhe to say something like that.

"I originally wanted to apologize to Sister Li Ruan..."

"No need, I'm not really angry," Lu Liruan said sincerely.

“But I should put Sister Li Ruan at ease.” He took a deep breath: “I need to shoulder the responsibilities I should bear, as…”

"Ok?"

"As Sister Li Ruan's boyfriend!" He steeled himself and blurted out those words.

Fearing Lu Liruan might reject him, he hurriedly continued, "Sister Liruan, how am I supposed to be your boyfriend? Can you... tell me?"

Instead of guessing, it's better to ask directly; this was the conclusion Jin Shuhe finally came to.

"Sister Li Ruan, what should I do?" He tugged at Lu Li Ruan's clothes, asking earnestly and shyly.

Not having a younger brother means you're born a natural boyfriend! Not having a younger brother means you're born a natural dater! But younger brothers are studious!

My younger brother always has that "younger brother" vibe, like both a younger brother and a boyfriend. It's not just about being young; he really is my younger brother. That's the joy of being younger! (Just rambling—)
