Chapter 032 The Lady in Red
"Charge through!" the driver hastily scanned the surroundings and furiously turned the steering wheel to the right. He stepped on the gas, and the car instantly surged onto the non-motorized lane. The sight of this frightened the electric and bicycle riders on the non-motorized lane, leaving them completely dumbfounded.
After a moment of panic, people on the non-motorized lane quickly scrambled away, everyone frantically hiding. They watched as this black Elantra car forcefully charged through the traffic light.
Xiao Han was only ten meters away from the Elantra car, his whole body almost standing as he furiously pedaled the bicycle, feeling as if all his strength was almost exhausted. He chased after the car desperately and persistently.
Bang...
Suddenly, the black Elantra car hit the rear of a large truck while running the red light, spinning three hundred sixty degrees on the spot. The car slid far away. Smoke billowed from the front of the car, appearing somewhat frightening.
"Could it explode?" many spectators wondered from a distance.
Screech...
Suddenly, a sharp sound of braking. The performance of the Giant bicycle was good, even the brakes were so sensitive. His hands pressed down on the brakes, leaving a black mark on the ground by the tires, appearing very thrilling.
Xiao Han quickly ditched his bicycle and dashed toward the damaged black Elantra car.
The three adult men inside the car were somewhat stunned from the impact, the three hundred sixty-degree spin on the spot left them disoriented. After resting for a moment, the man in the passenger seat quickly shouted, "Big brother, hurry… that kid is coming!"
The driver in the cab heard this, immediately started the car, and stepped on the gas.
Although the front of the car was damaged, it did not affect the car's performance.
Seeing that the robbers' car was about to flee, Xiao Han pushed off with his legs, stretching out his arms as he soared like a bird against the wind.
Bang...
He landed heavily on the roof of the Elantra car, his hands tightly gripping the windows to prevent himself from falling off.
"Damn, the kid's on the car!" the man in the backseat cursed, holding a six-month-old child crying loudly and heartbreakingly. The man in black gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, what do we do now?"
"Everyone just sit tight," the driver replied, said, "I'll shake him off right now."
Having said that, the driver stepped on the gas again, soon followed by another sharp brake.
It was tough for Xiao Han on the roof, with no points to leverage, he could only rely on his hands to support himself. His mind raced, considering how to rescue the child from the other's clutches.
Just as Xiao Han was intensely pondering, suddenly, the black Elantra car made a sharp turn. Xiao Han's right hand slipped off the window.
Xiao Han made a split-second decision.
He slid down from the roof, using the last of his strength, his legs fiercely kicked through the window into the driver's cabin, not caring whether he hit the person or not. But the force of this kick was definitely great. Xiao Han could clearly feel his legs hitting someone's body.
Screech...
Suddenly, the Elantra car lost control on the spot, its front crashing hard into a nearby building.
Hiss hiss...
The already damaged front now completely emitted dense smoke.
Xiao Han, half hanging out of the car, tumbled out as the car collided, during the landing, he firmly protected his head with his hands, fearing any harm to his precious brain.
After landing, Xiao Han quickly got up from the ground and ran toward the direction of the car.
Suddenly, the car door opened, and the driver crawled out. Clutching his chest, he cursed, "You little bastard, I'll kill you!"
Seeing this, Xiao Han did not hesitate and kicked fiercely.
Bang...
Dazed, the man barely crawled out of the car when Xiao Han kicked him back into the driver's cab.
At this moment, the man in the backseat pushed open the car door and got out. As Xiao Han was about to move forward to subdue him, the man in black drew a glossy black pistol from his waistband and coldly aimed it at Xiao Han, said, "Kid, are you courting death?"
Xiao Han immediately stopped in his tracks and hastily raised his hands.
With a gun in the opponent's hand, although he didn't know if it was real or fake, he definitely could not risk his life. Xiao Han calmly said, "Why are you kidnapping someone else's child? Don't you know what a child means to a mother?"
"Kid, we brothers are only after the money, not lives," the man in black gritted his teeth. "You better mind your own business, or else, don't blame me for not being polite."
"Let the child go," Xiao Han took a deep breath, facing the handgun without a trace of fear, his face taking on an iron blue tint as he said, "It's still not too late to leave. Otherwise, once the police arrive, you won't be able to escape."
The man holding the handgun quickly looked at the man in the driver's cab and asked, "Big Brother, what should we do now?"
"Withdraw!" The man in the driver's cab pondered for a moment, analyzing the pros and cons. The car had broken down, and it had been over ten minutes since the incident occurred. He estimated that the police had already been alerted and were on their way. If the police got involved, he had no chance of escaping. Thus, he felt they had to leave.
He waved his hand and said, "As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood."
"But..."
The man in black looked at the child crying loudly inside the car.
"Go now!" the big brother waved his hand.
Following that, the three men quickly disappeared into the streets bustling with traffic and slipped into a large shopping mall. Xiao Han guessed these guys were typical mobile criminals, planning to hit the provincial city and then withdraw. In fact, they were mobile criminals who had been scoping out the provincial city for a long time.
They had been following the woman in red for a week, and after mastering her routine, they decided to strike right at the entrance of the mall.
However, they never imagined their seemingly flawless plan would be ruined by a kid.
Once the men left, Xiao Han quickly rushed into the car, then carried out the loudly crying child. The child was adorable, with a face like a porcelain doll, utterly endearing. This sight was testament to the fact that beautiful people indeed bore beautiful children, as Xiao Han carried the child out from the car.
Not far away, the woman in red hurriedly jumped down from a vehicle.
"My child, my child!" The woman in red's face was streaked with tears, her heart-wrenching sobs resonated with Xiao Han, a sound only heard when one's own flesh and blood is in mortal peril. She ran over quickly, barefoot, ignoring the pain from the asphalt road.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Xiao Han quickly handed the child to the woman, saying, "Fortunately, he's not hurt."
The woman in red tightly hugged her child, her body collapsing to the ground. She was trembling all over. Her loud cries subsided, and the child, returned to his mother's arms, immediately quieted down, his bright eyes looking at Xiao Han and even flashing him a smile.
"Sister, are you okay?" Xiao Han asked, showing his concern.
"I... I'm fine," the woman in red wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, thank you for saving my child, and saving me."
She looked at Xiao Han gratefully. If it weren't for Xiao Han, she might never have seen her child again.
"You're welcome!" Xiao Han, feeling shy, scratched his head and said, "Doing the right thing is what we should do."
Sirens wailed...
At that moment, police cars raced to the scene. Several armed police quickly secured the area.
A tall policewoman hurried over. She immediately saw the woman in red and asked with concern, "Director Li, are you all right?"
"I'm fine," the woman in red shook her head, "It's all thanks to him. If it weren't for him, the consequences would have been unthinkable."
The policewoman glanced at Xiao Han and asked, "Hello, can you tell me what happened?"
Xiao Han nodded and then earnestly recounted everything at the scene to the policewoman, who took notes. Afterward, she had Xiao Han sign his statement.
"Thank you for everything," the policewoman said earnestly, looking at Xiao Han. "I will apply for a bravery award from my superiors. Thank you for your courageous actions!"
"You're welcome!" Xiao Han quickly shook his head.
The woman in red dried her tears and asked, "What's your name?"
"Sister, my name is Xiao Han," Xiao Han replied with a charming smile, "The 'Xiao' of Xiao Han, the 'Han' of Xiao Han!"
Chuckling...
The woman in red suddenly burst into laughter, touched by the handsome young man before her. His character was excellent, his actions moving. If not for his bravery today, she and her child would have been separated by life and death.
Unable to control her gratitude and feeling indebted to him, she pondered as she realized she had left her bag and phone at the entrance of the mall, with not a penny on her. After a moment's thought, she said, "Xiao Han, thank you. Can I treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?"
"This..." Xiao Han looked embarrassed and said, "Sister, I came from LJ City, I have some business in the provincial city. Although I would like to have a meal with you, but..."
"You came to do business?" the woman in red paused, "What are you here for? I have some connections in the provincial city, do you need my help?"
"Really?" Xiao Han heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Of course," the woman in red tried to step out of her mental shadows, looking at Xiao Han earnestly, "If it wasn't for you today, I might not have survived, you saved two lives. It's the least I can do to help you, even giving you everything I have, I would be willing!"
"Sister, don't say that," Xiao Han said bashfully.
