Chapter 256: Chapter 252: Explosion "Murder!" The crowded scene instantly became chaotic, filled with terrified screams everywhere. People stuck inside tried desperately to escape, pushing against those outside, but it was equally crowded outside. In the collision, many people lost their balance and fell to the ground. Before they could get up, people behind stepped on them. For a moment, the scene was out of control, screams of horror and cries for help intertwined in an instant. The police and the school security responsible for the alert did not expect such a sudden incident, and they froze on the spot, unsure of what to do. Moreover, their numbers could not change anything; they could only watch helplessly as the stampede unfolded, unable to carry out any rescue. "Shiyun!" In the moment the flames surged, Ling Chen’s face drastically changed, turning pale with his lips trembling slightly. The smell of gasoline—it was a homemade incendiary bomb! At this moment, his mind was blank, his only concern was for Tang Shiyun’s safety. He even forgot Su Lin next to him and madly rushed toward the stretched Lincoln Sedan. However, there were too many people outside the Lincoln Sedan, all desperately rushing out while he alone squeezed inside. He clenched his teeth, pushing against the crowd, and madly ran towards the Lincoln Sedan. Seconds later, when he arrived at the Lincoln Sedan, he saw both front and back doors were already open, the driver and passengers had quickly jumped out of the car after the bomb exploded. But, the incendiary bomb made with gasoline was very adhesive and flammable, once it stuck on someone, it was difficult to extinguish. Ling Chen glanced around and saw three men next to the Lincoln Sedan, all male, currently rolling on the ground desperately to extinguish the flames on their bodies. No women? His heart sank, could Tang Shiyun still be in the car? With this thought, he quickly looked into the Lincoln Sedan, hurried forward, and shouted Tang Shiyun’s name loudly. However, the fire inside the Lincoln was intense, flames wildly surged from the car windows, almost enveloping the entire car, making it impossible to approach. "Shiyun, Shiyun..." Bang! Amidst the shouts, the Lincoln Sedan suddenly exploded at the front. Disaster! Ling Chen’s pupils constricted, if the fire spread to the gas tank and ignited the gasoline inside, it would certainly cause a secondary explosion, and people within ten meters could hardly escape. At this moment, the three people who had escaped from the vehicle had extinguished the flames on their bodies, but had large burns all over, looking dreadful and were breathless, lying motionless on the ground, completely unable to flee. "Ling Chen, come back!" From dozens of meters away, Su Lin shouted loudly, her tone unable to hide her own anxiety. Ling Chen glanced at the burning Lincoln Sedan and then at the three men lying on the ground, his expression hesitant. After a brief contemplation, he finally made a decision, picked up the bodies of two men, and quickly rushed out of the explosion range. When he rescued the last man, the Lincoln Sedan exploded loudly, debris and sparks scattered everywhere within more than ten meters around the center of the explosion. "Shiyun..." "Miss Tang... wasn’t... inside..." Suddenly, the last man he rescued said weakly, his words intermittent and his body extremely weak. "Really?" Hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes brightened, feeling like hearing heavenly music, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, he quickly asked, "Where is she?" "The principal’s office..." "Ling Chen!" At this moment, Su Lin rushed over in a hurry, her face full of concern, "Are you injured?" "I’m fine." Ling Chen smiled slightly, knowing that Tang Shiyun was safe and sound, his heart finally settled down. The explosion that happened just a moment ago really scared him to death. Soon, the police gradually gained control of the scene. An ambulance was on its way, and the medical staff from East Sea University arrived first to provide emergency treatment to the three burn victims to prevent infection in their wounds. At this moment, the crowd of onlookers and reporters who had just escaped danger crowded around him, and the flashbulbs flashed non-stop. Several reporters surrounded Ling Chen, eagerly pushing their cameras toward him. "Sir, you just risked your life to save three people, do you have anything you’d like to say now?" "Sir, I am a reporter from the East Sea Daily, and I would like to interview you about your heroic actions." "..." Faced with all these questions from reporters, Ling Chen, unable to bear the attention, grabbed Su Lin’s hand and ran towards the campus. He had no interest in being on camera; as a former ghost squadron member, he strongly resisted revealing his identity. Being a student at East Sea University, with Su Lin leading the way, the two quickly left the trailing reporters far behind. "Where is the principal’s office?" "Just ahead, what are you going to do?" Su Lin looked at him puzzledly. "Shiyun is there, I’m going to see her." Su Lin patted her ample chest, still frightened, and said, "Thank goodness she wasn’t in the car just now. I don’t know who could be so cruel to target her. Whoever did this must be caught and executed." Ling Chen frowned secretly as the attack had happened too quickly, and with too many people around the Lincoln Sedan, the perpetrator had managed to throw the firebomb and then disappear into the crowd without leaving any clues. When they arrived at the principal’s office. Ling Chen pushed the door open, and upon entering, he saw Tang Shiyun sitting there, her expression anxious. Her delicate face was filled with worry, her thin lips slightly pale, having lost their color. Tear stains lingered at the corners of her eyes; she had clearly been crying. Zhu Yansong was beside her, trying to comfort her. "Shiyun!" Hearing that familiar voice, Tang Shiyun quickly looked up and saw Ling Chen approaching. She immediately lost control of her emotions and rushed toward him, burying herself into Ling Chen’s arms and tightly wrapping her arms around his waist with tears brimming in her eyes, her expression sorrowful as she sobbed, "Ling, it’s all my fault, I caused their harm." Ling Chen gently patted her back, his voice soft, "It’s okay, they are not in life-threatening danger. Besides, if anyone is to blame, it’s the person who committed the attack, not you. Don’t blame yourself too much." "But..." "Come on, stop crying." Su Lin watched Tang Shiyun clinging to Ling Chen, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Their relationship... seemed to be more than just friends, as it was clear from Tang Shiyun’s expression that she relied heavily on Ling Chen. After a while, with Ling Chen’s comfort, Tang Shiyun’s emotions gradually stabilized. Su Lin brought over a glass of water, handing it to Tang Shiyun, and took out a pack of tissues from her bag and handed it to her. "Miss Tang, wipe your tears first, take some rest." "Thank you."
