The exclamations of the crowd were of no consequence to Shen Qiang, who kept his gaze fixed on the falling girl, adjusting his steps accordingly.
Then, under the horrified stares of the crowd,
with a thud! Shen Qiang caught the falling girl firmly in his arms.
An adult weighing over a hundred pounds, falling from the fifth floor.
The force of the impact was nothing to scoff at!
Even Shen Qiang, who had been training with weights for the past few days, felt his arms sink under the weight, as if struck by a massive hammer. Had he not undergone the weight training, even if it wouldn't have left him with broken bones and torn muscles, he would have still been in a sorry state.
But at this moment,
Shen Qiang merely bent his knees slightly to dissipate some of the force, then held on to the girl securely.
Her complexion was deathly pale, her lips trembling.
It seemed she was still caught in the throes of shock.
At this time, a multitude of people rushed over.
A male student looked at Shen Qiang in astonishment: "Dude, holy shit, you're so badass, do you lift weights or something?"
Another one appeared tense: "Buddy, are you okay? That girl came crashing down hard; you sure you haven't sustained any internal injuries? Don't hold back if you're feeling unwell!"
Hearing their words, Shen Qiang smiled faintly and set the girl down on the ground.
By now, the onlookers had begun to clamor in a hubbub.
"Young lady, what got into you to do something so reckless? Why jump off a building just like that? If it weren't for this young man's quick reflexes, you would have been dead!"
"Yeah, there's nothing in this world that can't be overcome. Take it easy," another added.
"Yes, you're lucky today, having met Shen Qiang and survived by luck. If it weren't for him, you'd be a mangled mess right now," remarked someone else.
In the midst of the chatter from the crowd,
the pale-faced girl, who was still quite pretty, suddenly burst into tears, sobbing: "I didn't jump, I didn't jump, someone pushed me!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was taken aback.
Sudden brilliance flared in Shen Qiang's eyes, and he quickly turned and dashed towards the library.
"Shen Qiang, where are you going?" Miao Xiaoxia called out in surprise as she arrived.
Shen Qiang instructed gravely, "Stay here and wait for me, and help me take care of that girl in the meantime."
Miao Xiaoxia nodded in astonishment.
Meanwhile, Shen Qiang had already dashed into the library without looking back.
"That person is on the fifth floor!"
Shen Qiang's gaze shone with an unprecedented intensity.
In fact, Shen Qiang wasn't on duty at the moment; when faced with such an incident, he could have turned a blind eye.
However, the current situation left no room for Shen Qiang to hesitate.
The girl he had saved with surgery before, the girl who died from a fall the previous day, and now this girl that Shen Qiang had just rescued; within a week, this person had already struck three times.
Although Shen Qiang didn't understand this person's purpose or motivation,
Miao Xiaoxia was still studying here, and the goddess-like teacher Ju Yang was still lecturing here.
What a disaster it would be if, one day, that person targeted them?
Moreover, even though he was part of the new member protection program, Shen Qiang was still a member of the Dragon Group. How could he possibly ignore someone acting so brazenly?
He hurried upstairs,
since the library was a building from many years ago, it didn't have an elevator.
Moreover, at this time, aside from the first and second floors, where a portion of people were actually there to read, the third floor and above were virtually deserted, save for the occasional couple on a romantic tryst.
Rushing up to the fifth floor, the area was deserted apart from the meticulously arranged bookshelves.
But Shen Qiang, just arriving on the fifth floor, still detected the stench of blood with unusual sensitivity.
"Over there!"
Shen Qiang's eyes lit up as he rushed over in a few quick strides.
He immediately saw the blood on the ground.
And two bodies.
No, that's not right!
One of them was still alive!
Shen Qiang pressed down on the man who was losing blood and having trouble breathing. He instantly assessed that the man had been stabbed in the lower abdomen, his large intestine severed, but his life wasn't in immediate danger.
Raising his hand, he inserted three Silver Needles into the man's body.
To stabilize his condition.
Only then did Shen Qiang notice that another young man lying in a pool of blood was already dead.
His eyes were still open.
In his bloodstained hand, he clutched an identification card, identical to the one Shen Qiang carried.
Dragon Group!
Almost as soon as Shen Qiang realized this,
a white light shot out from the bookshelf beside him.
Shen Qiang quickly dodged, and the white beam flew past his nose with a whoosh, embedding itself into another set of bookshelves.
"Let me go, or I'll have to kill you before I leave," came a cold voice.
Along with the voice, Shen Qiang saw the ordinary-looking man on the other side of the bookshelf.
He was about 165 to 168 cm tall, with somewhat dark skin and simple hair that clearly came from a cheap barber's shop.
Washed-out blue jeans.
Prescription glasses.
A leather belt, cheap shirt.
He looked just like an ordinary student from a not-so-well-off family, almost exactly as Shen Qiang had been before his fortune changed.
"Why?" Shen Qiang asked coldly, his tone harsh.
The boy with glasses said fiercely, "If you don't get out of the way, you will die too!"
"Very good, Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation. You study medicine, and with effort, you await a stable job, a salary that ordinary people would envy," Shen Qiang roared, the blood stench in the air fueling his anger: "But why did you keep pushing those girls off the building? Why did you kill someone!"
Hearing Shen Qiang's words, the boy looked at him coldly and said, "Looking at your outfit, you seem wealthy—fancy sneakers, a shirt of exceptional quality, and an expensive-looking watch. So I guess you must come from a rich family."
"Therefore, you will never understand the life of a lowly 'dreg'."
"I worked hard, with all my heart, yet I could never compare to you. It was the same with those girls; no matter how nice I was to them, it made no difference. In front of me, they were noble goddesses, but in front of you rich kids, they were nothing more than playthings in sexy lingerie."
"They were willing because they knew they could get money from being promiscuous with you."
"What's the difference between that and being a prostitute? So those unclean women deserve to die!"
The boy with glasses became suddenly emotional, yelling, "So I am administering justice for the people, I can't allow those promiscuous women to live in this world!"
Shen Qiang looked at the man before him and raised an eyebrow, "You were dumped by your girlfriend, and so you think all women deserve to die?"
"Yes, that's right! And you rich people, you're all scum!" the boy with glasses clenched his teeth.
And at that moment, Shen Qiang became enraged. His Iron Fist was wrapped in the wild True Yuan, and he bellowed, "I too have been down and out, scorned at every turn, but I know that as long as I am willing to strive, I can change my life, not wallow in self-pity like you!"
"Administering justice for the people? You're just venting your own dissatisfaction!"
"Women don't submit to you simply because you are not good enough, not strong enough!"
