Urban Invincible Medical Divine

To avoid the awkward silence, Liu Wentian initiated some small talk. He mentioned that whenever he had time, he could help Xiao Yu with her myopia and even make her skin as flawless as Bai Ruguo's. Xiao Yu just thanked him, but it seemed that she took Liu Wentian's words as a joke.

Seeing this, Liu Wentian didn't say anything more. It was hard for people to believe such claims just based on words alone.

As soon as the two finished their meal and stepped out of the restaurant, a van came hurtling toward them from a distance. It was blaring its horn madly and speeding down the street at no less than 150 KM per hour, causing other vehicles to panic and swerve out of the way immediately.

Three other police cars were chasing the van, their sirens wailing non-stop.

Then, a truck was suddenly in the van's path. The truck couldn't dodge in time, and the van driver, clearly terrified, quickly hit the brakes and jerked the steering wheel, crashing into the railing at the side of the road.

The police cars stopped behind him. A middle-aged man with blood all over his face got out of the van. He then grabbed an old lady who was passing by, holding a knife to her throat while cautiously eyeing the officers getting out of the police cars.

The elderly lady was obviously terrified, her face pale as paper, her legs trembling.

"Young man, what… what are you doing? Please, just let me go," pleaded the old lady in panic.

"Shut up, you old hag! If you don't want to die, stop blabbering!"

The middle-aged man cursed and then turned to the approaching officers, growling, "Everybody just stay back, or I swear I'll kill this old hag!"

Liu Wentian was startled to recognize the lead female police officer.

She was tall, with a slim waist, long legs, perky breasts, and round buttocks, her proportions nearly perfect—a stunning beauty with an oval-shaped face, dressed in her police uniform, her presence striking and awe-inspiring.

It was the same plainclothes officer he had encountered while teaching Fan Rongkai a lesson the night before last.

She appeared to be the leader of the police group. Seeing the man taking the old lady hostage, she pointed her gun at him and commanded coldly with a frown, "Li Dachuan, don't be delusional. You can't escape. I advise you to drop the knife now, or you're only adding more charges to your crimes!"

Li Dachuan sneered disrespectfully in response, "Shut it, bitch. Don't try to fool me. I've committed murder; A death sentence awaits either way, so what if I kill one more?"

Onlookers gasped at this revelation, hastily retreating further back.

It turned out this man was not just a robber as thought, but a murderer, which explained his menacing appearance.

The old lady was shaking violently, nearly fainting from fright.

"You…"

The female officer was momentarily speechless, then replied coldly, "So, what do you want? Remember, justice has a long reach; it's inescapable. You fled to Shenming City after committing a murder back in your hometown, but weren't you discovered here by us? I advise you to come back to the station with us willingly. If you cooperate, we might be able to get a more lenient sentence from the court!"

"Bullshit! A lenient sentence won't change anything. A life sentence is no different from death," the man retorted, unyielding.

"Then what do you want?" the officer demanded, her anger rising.

Li Dachuan smirked, "Simple. Give me a car, and your gun, and as soon as I'm safely out of the city, I'll release this old hag. If I spot any of you following me, I'll kill her immediately!"

"That's impossible! I won't give you my gun or a car to help you escape! Stop hoping for luck; you can't get away!" she furrowed her brows.

"Impossible? Fuck your impossibles! If you want me to die, it won't be easy!"

"Ah!"

In a sudden move, Li Dachuan stabbed the old lady in the stomach. She screamed as blood started gushing from the wound.

"Are you giving me the gun or not? Are you giving me the car or not? If not, I'll kill this old hag right here!" Li Dachuan screamed hysterically, already descending into madness.

"Ah! This man is completely insane!"

"Officer, please agree to his demands quickly; otherwise, that old lady will be killed!"

"Exactly, human life is of utmost importance, aren't you officers supposed to protect us?? Please save the old lady quickly!"

"..."

The crowd was terrified by the middle-aged man's insane actions; some even blamed the officers as if they were the reason the old lady got stabbed.

"Captain Zhao, why don't we just do what he says?? I think the old lady can't hold on much longer; we need to get her to the hospital fast," a young officer beside the beautiful female officer said.

The beautiful female officer looked at the old lady and saw fresh blood still gushing from her abdomen and her eyes beginning to turn purple, realizing she might indeed not last much longer.

She gritted her teeth and then said, "I can agree to your demands, to give you the gun and the car, but you have to release the old woman first. If she doesn't get medical treatment soon, she won't survive, and keeping her with you is pointless!"

By then, the old lady had already lost too much blood and fainted. The middle-aged man looked at her, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "First, hand over your gun!!"

The beautiful female officer crouched down and threw her gun at the feet of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Stop playing games with me!! The rest of you officers, put all your guns on the ground or else I will stab this old woman right now!!"

A group of officers privately frowned, as they had originally planned to shoot the man the moment he bent down to pick up the gun, but hadn't anticipated his cunning.

Reluctantly, but with no other choice, the other officers also placed their guns on the ground.

The middle-aged man quickly picked up the guns from the ground, turned off the safety, and pointed one at the old lady's head, saying, "I can now release this old thing, but I need a new hostage!!"

He looked at the beautiful female officer with a greedy expression and said, "You, come here and be my hostage!"

The beautiful female officer was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be your hostage."

"No, Captain Zhao, you can't be his hostage."

"Yes, that's too dangerous!! Absolutely not!!"

"..."

The other officers protested vehemently. Joking aside, Captain Zhao's background was intimidatingly influential. If something happened to her, it was not just these officers who would suffer, but even the chief might lose his position; there was no way they could let her be a hostage.

Just as a group of officers were trying to intervene, Liu Wentian stepped forward, looked at the middle-aged man, smiled, and said, "How about I be your hostage instead? Even if you fancy this beautiful officer and are smitten with her, picking an officer as a hostage is just plain stupid. Your actions are incredibly foolish!"

"It's you!" The beautiful female officer saw Liu Wentian, initially stunned, then a trace of happiness crossed her face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although she had previously not had a high opinion of Liu Wentian, considering him somewhat lecherous and probably a violent criminal, possibly even an international assassin, she had to admit, Liu Wentian was capable, certainly much more so than she and her colleagues.

If he became the hostage, perhaps he truly could find an opportunity to subdue the criminal!

Unexpectedly, this guy had a sense of justice. The beautiful female officer thought to herself.

Her impression of Liu Wentian improved slightly.

The onlookers were baffled by Liu Wentian's sudden words; while they admired his courage to step forward, many were secretly cursing him as a fool for voluntarily offering to be a hostage, deeming him idiotic.

"Mr. Liu, you can't be the hostage, it's too dangerous!!" Xie Xiaoyu was startled by Liu Wentian's words and hurriedly intervened, saying.

Liu Wentian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's all right, if that old lady doesn't get treated, she'll indeed be beyond help soon.."
