Chapter 206: No Problem (Thanks to Kateliu\'s Hetian Jade + Updates)

The boiler room seemed to be about 2 stories high, with a large and small boiler inside. The large boiler was almost two stories tall, and when approaching it, one could hear the roar of a steam engine. When the group rushed in, there was no one on the first floor.

“The big one should be 20 tons, and the small one probably a few tons. With this configuration, there should be at least a few people on duty. Why is there no one?” Qiao Zhen asked.

“The school wants to save money.”

Yu Minglang noticed that there was a basement below. He exchanged glances with his brother, picked up the shovel next to him, and quietly went down.

Boiler rooms usually operate in three shifts, and it was currently the graveyard shift. As it was the beginning of the heating season and the demand for heat was not that strict, the school, wanting to save on costs, only needed one person for the graveyard shift. That person could very well be the criminal suspect.

Yu Minglang made an accurate judgment and followed Qiao Zhen and his brother in silence as they went downstairs.

To get to the basement, they had to go down an old iron ladder. The three deliberately reduced their footsteps, which was drowned out by the noise of the machinery. The boilers’ conveyor belts made a creaking sound, like the footsteps of the Death God, and the three men held their breaths.

The basement was extremely hot, and Yu Mingyi could feel sweat on his palms, not knowing if it was due to the heat or the nerves. He had experienced many rescue operations before, but none felt as tense as this one.

It was unbearable to think that the girl he had saved from Death God’s grasp over a decade ago was now lying there as a mute corpse…

Taking just a few short steps, Yu Mingyi moved extremely slowly, forcibly suppressing the terrifying images in his mind and forcing himself to stay calm.

Yu Minglang walked in front, using special combat sign language to communicate with Qiao Zhen. He signalled for Qiao Zhen to draw the suspect’s attention while he attacked from the side. He then gestured for Second Brother to rescue the hostage, and the two nodded in understanding.

“You ungrateful woman, you are a bad omen! It’s your good fortune that I’m willing to marry you, yet you are unwilling. College student, huh? What’s so great about being a college student? You still got taken by me!”

The man’s voice rang out clearly. Yu Mingyi saw that not far from the boiler, Dong Yi was lying motionless on the ground, while the lecherous man was tearing at her clothes. She didn’t react, not knowing whether she was unconscious or…

His expression darkened, and Yu Minglang immediately turned around, patting him twice to signal him to calm down and not startle the enemy.

What shocked everyone even more was that near the big boiler, there was a wooden board. This couldn’t help but make people think that the criminal suspect might have intended to burn the body in the boiler after committing the crime!

This was too scary. The suspect intended to destroy evidence!

Dong Yi was wearing relatively tight pants, making it difficult for the man to remove them. After a failed attempt, he grumbled and got up, seemingly looking for tools.

“Dude, what are you doing?” Qiao Zhen suddenly spoke up. The man didn’t expect anyone to come down, and was startled. Yu Minglang rushed over like a bolt of lightning. The man instinctively tried to hold Dong Yi hostage again, with his hand already touching her clothes. Yu Minglang kicked his arm directly, the sound of bone-breaking and the man’s screams resounding throughout the basement.

“Damn, you really have quite a lot of guts, daring to play such dangerous games on campus, huh?” Yu Minglang stepped on the man’s fractured arm, asking viciously.

“I didn’t do anything, I didn’t do anything wrong, she is my wife, she is mine – ah!” The man attempted to argue, but was met with another kick from Yu Minglang, who was so filled with pain that his eyes rolled and he nearly passed out.

Yu Mingyi picked up Dong Yi and carefully checked her. Blood was flowing from her head, as if something heavy had struck her. She was still breathing, still alive. Yu Mingyi took a deep breath.

Her clothes were slightly disheveled but still intact. Thankfully, Yu Minglang and the others had arrived in time, or else…

Xiao Qian also hurried over at this time, standing at the stairs and peeking nervously. Seeing that the bad guy had been subdued, she dared to run down. “Da Yi!” She dashed over anxiously.

“She’s unconscious. There might be a possibility of a concussion.” Yu Mingyi put up a dark face as he handed Dong Yi to Xiao Qian, then stood up.

He took out his phone and stopped his men from coming in, only calling for a doctor. He immediately sent someone to find the school leader, then called the Bureau Chief to send an undercover officer without a police car. In just a few short minutes, everything had been arranged.

Such an incident happening on campus, and with Dong Yi being a student, it couldn’t be made public. Otherwise, the students would spread rumors, and even if nothing happened, it would become a big incident. For the sake of Dong Yi’s reputation, Yu Mingyi had already thought of many consequences.

Yu Minglang continued to step on the criminal suspect’s arm, causing him to scream in pain. “You are quite ruthless, huh? Daring to kidnap a female student in broad daylight, even having the intention to kill and burn the body. How can your heart be so cold, huh?!”

“I was wrong, I was really wrong, I didn’t do anything yet, I just knocked her out and then you guys came in, I didn’t succeed in anything…” The man kept begging for mercy. He had only drunk a little, and alcohol emboldened cowards.

After being rejected by Dong Yi, he had been harboring a fire inside him. His twisted mind caused him to become increasingly distorted. Taking advantage of having been a boiler worker years ago with a stoker operator’s certificate, he managed to take the job at the school when they urgently needed boiler workers. With the three-shift schedule, he spent his free time to keep an eye on Dong Yi and secretly observe her.

Today, seeing Dong Yi go to the small theater to watch a performance so close to the boiler room, he had a wicked idea.

At first, he just wanted to drag her out, hoping she would change her mind. However, Dong Yi was extremely determined, refusing to be with him. They argued on the small path, and seeing a brick on the ground, he grabbed it and hit her when she turned to leave. He then dragged her a few steps, and carried her on his shoulder to the boiler room.

He had intended to commit an outrage, but before he could even take off her clothes, he was caught red-handed by Yu Minglang and the others who arrived just in time.

If not for Yu Minglang, who was used to handling major cases and didn’t waste time, things could have been worse for Dong Yi.

“Youngest, get up.” Yu Mingyi said with a deep voice.

As Yu Minglang stepped aside, the criminal suspect, who had been beaten half-dead by him, tried to escape. However, Yu Mingyi just grabbed him by the collar and dragged him towards the boiler.

The terrified criminal cried out, and Xiao Qian worriedly tugged at Yu Minglang.

“You’d better manage him, what does Second Brother want to do!”

Was he trying to throw the man into the boiler?

Yu Minglang covered her eyes, not wanting her to see the terrifying scene.

“My Second Brother knows what he’s doing, it’s fine.”

“Ah!” A scream echoed behind them, accompanied by the smell of something burning.

Yu Minglang and Qiao Zhen both turned away simultaneously, not wanting to see the scene. Mhm, that’s fine..
