Chapter 195 — The Astonishing Resemblance

"Xiaofen..." Tang Yun called out nervously on instinct, but before she could finish, a white shadow plunged swiftly downward...
"Xiaofen!" Song Huiping let out a hoarse, tearing scream, while Tang Yun and Liu Xinwen froze in helpless terror! None of them had expected Lan Fen to jump just like that, without the slightest warning.
"Lan Fen!" Kang Xiaobo darted forward in a single stride, reaching out to catch the falling Lan Fen.
Yet neither his speed nor his judgment allowed him to fix accurately on the spot where Lan Fen would land.
Wei Zhao sighed inwardly, rushed after him, and swiftly nudged Kang Xiaobo into the right position... In a moment like this, no one would notice such a subtle shift. What Wei Zhao did was perfectly concealed, and anyone who saw would only think he had rushed up with Kang Xiaobo to save a life, and suspect nothing else.
On a battlefield swept by gunfire, sneak attacks from the enemy were impossible to guard against. Without the ability to judge direction correctly, a man could hardly hope to walk out alive.
In the instant Xiaofen hit the ground, Wei Zhao pretended to lunge forward in panic, but in fact he pushed Kang Xiaobo's arm and seized hold of it to catch Xiaofen. With the speed and height of Xiaofen's fall, no one without professional training could have withstood the force of the drop, and would likely have let her slip through his hands even after catching her. Though the catch would cushion her, it could still cause injury, so Wei Zhao could only lend Kang Xiaobo a hand.
This brother who had followed at his heels calling him "Boss" ever since he had transferred to the school was someone Wei Zhao did not mind helping to play the hero for once. Once Kang Xiaobo had caught Xiaofen firmly, however, Wei Zhao quietly let go of his arm without a trace.
In that tense moment just now, Kang Xiaobo could hardly have sensed anything amiss. Under such strain, his mind held nothing but panic and his thoughts were a complete jumble, so even if something seemed off to him afterward, he would not remember it clearly.
"Xiaofen!" Tang Yun, Liu Xinwen, Song Huiping, and the crowd of shantytown residents gathered around. Seeing that Kang Xiaobo had actually caught Xiaofen, they felt relief mixed with astonishment. Kang Xiaobo had actually caught her?
Because it had all happened so suddenly, although the police had already been called, it would still take time for the police and the fire brigade to arrive. Only ten minutes had passed, and no one had expected Xiaofen to jump so soon!
"Xiaofen, how are you? Do not frighten your mother. Are you hurt?" Song Huiping was the first to rush up, trying to snatch Xiaofen from Kang Xiaobo's arms, but Kang Xiaobo was stunned too, and held Xiaofen tightly without letting go.
When Xiaofen had fallen just now, his mind had held only one thought, that he must catch her and keep her from harm. Now that he held her, he clutched her tightly on instinct, and naturally would not let go easily.
