Three Seconds to Save the Hostage

"Xiao Man, aren't you at work?" A kind voice came from the other end of the phone, "Why? Are you missing grandma?"

"Yes, grandma, I really miss you!" Liu Yunman's tone was a little coquettish.

"Girl, you only know how to coax me. If you really miss me, why don't you come back to see me? Don't say you don't have time. It only takes you an hour to drive to my place." The old man's tone was filled with some blame.

"Grandma, I know I was wrong. I will go back to see you soon." Liu Yunman said in a soft voice, but her eyes dimmed slightly. Yes, she should go back to see her grandma, otherwise, in a few months, her grandma might never see her again.

"Xiaoman, is there something you want to talk to me about at this time?" The old woman sighed softly and asked proactively. Based on her understanding of her granddaughter, she would not call home during this period of time unless there was something important.

Liu Yunman hesitated for a moment before she asked softly, "Grandma, have you heard of the Eight Needles Against Heaven?"

Bang!

There was the sound of a cup falling to the ground from the other end of the phone, and then Liu Yunman heard her grandmother's voice rise an octave, but with a slight tremor: "Eight Needles Against the Heaven? Xiaoman, who told you about the Eight Needles Against the Heaven?"

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yunman was a little worried.

"Xiao Man, I'm fine. Tell me quickly, who mentioned the Eight Needles Against the Heaven to you? Did that person say that he could use the Eight Needles Against the Heaven?" The old man's voice became obviously anxious.

"It was a man named Xia Tian. He didn't say whether he had the Eight Needles of Heaven, but he said that he could cure my disease. I asked him how, and he mentioned the Eight Needles of Heaven..." Liu Yunman was afraid that her grandmother didn't understand, so she simply recounted the whole story over the phone.

"Xia Tian? A young man under 20 years old?" The old man muttered to himself on the phone, "How could he be a flower delivery man?"

"Grandma, is he a liar?" Liu Yunman was a little uneasy.

"No, no, I just don't quite understand. Let me put it this way, Yunman, I'll go to the city right away and meet the young man in person!" The old man made a decision quickly.

"Ah, grandma, you don't have to come. If you want to see him, I can go find him and bring him to see you..." Liu Yunman said hurriedly.

"No!" The old man interrupted Liu Yunman, "Xiaoman, if that young man really has learned the Eight Needles Against the Heaven, then I must go and meet him in person!"

The old man's words carried a tone that did not allow for disobedience: "I'll leave right away, wait for me!"

"Okay, grandma." At this point, Liu Yunman naturally didn't dare to object anymore, but she was a little more curious about the boy named Xia Tian. Could it be that this big boy was really some kind of extraordinary person?

Suddenly, there was a burst of urgent sirens at the hospital gate. Liu Yunman looked down from the window and found that several police cars drove into the hospital. More than a dozen fully armed special police officers got out of the cars. She couldn't help but be shocked. What big thing happened in the hospital?

Something did happen in the hospital, and it was a serious hostage situation.

The incident took place on the sixth floor of the inpatient department, where a patient held a nurse and two other patients in the same ward hostage at knifepoint.

"Li Ping, how can you be a policeman? You can't even handle such a small matter!" Leng Bingbing was furious at the moment, "You'd better pray that nothing happens to the hostages, otherwise you'd better get ready to take off this police uniform!"

Li Ping was a squadron leader of the Sixth Criminal Police Brigade, and a direct subordinate of Leng Bingbing. He was scolded by Leng Bingbing so much that he dared not refute her. In his heart, he was cursing his subordinates. What a bunch of bastards! Didn't he just leave for a short while? How could such a big thing happen?

If something really happened to the hostage, as the person directly responsible for the incident, he would probably find it difficult to keep his job.

Li Ping was groaning in his heart while praying that the special police would arrive quickly. He only hoped that the sniper they sent could deal with the criminal. As long as the hostage was safe, he would at most be punished.

All other patients on the sixth floor have been evacuated, and the sixth floor has been isolated by the police. Li Ping kept looking at the stairs. Why haven't the special police arrived yet?

Suddenly, Li Ping saw a familiar figure. He saw a young man walking down slowly from the seventh floor. After taking a closer look, he was overjoyed.

"Xia Tian, ​​Xia Tian!" Li Ping rushed towards the young man.

Xia Tian was a little confused: "Who are you?"

"Uh, Xia Tian, ​​we met in the police station. I'm Captain Leng's subordinate, and my name is Li Ping." Li Ping was a little embarrassed. This guy seemed to only remember beautiful women.

Xia Tian saw Leng Bingbing at first sight, and walked over to greet her with joy: "Policewoman sister, you are here too!"

"Don't bother me!" Leng Bingbing glared at Xia Tian fiercely, "We are investigating a case, get down quickly!"

"Captain, captain, don't!" Li Ping ran over hurriedly. He was extremely unlucky today. It was not easy for a noble man to come to him. How could he let the captain drive him away like this?

"Li Ping, what are you doing?" Leng Bingbing was very unhappy.

"Captain, have you forgotten?" Li Ping whispered, "That time in the summer at the police station, he easily took Huang Anping's gun. If we asked him for help..."

"No, he's not a policeman!" Leng Bingbing rejected it outright before Li Ping could finish his words. Of course, she already understood what Li Ping meant.

"Captain, it's good that he's not a policeman. The superiors told us to hand this matter over to the special police. If we do it ourselves, it would be a violation of orders. But if an unrelated person does it, it has nothing to do with us!" Li Ping said quickly, "If we get it done before the special police come, we can save face, right?"

"No, the SWAT will be here soon, let them do it." Leng Bingbing still disagreed, "As for face, do you think we still have face after something like this happened?"

"But, Captain, I heard that the level of those special police is average. If someone dies, we will have to bear the responsibility. If we let Xia Tian go, it will be a safe bet!" Li Ping was still persuading him earnestly. After thinking for a while, he added, "Captain, you don't want anything to happen to the hostages, do you?"

Li Ping knew very well that this captain had a strong sense of justice and in her mind, the safety of the hostages came first.

Sure enough, after Li Ping said this, Leng Bingbing was finally a little moved. Others might not know Xia Tian's abilities, but she had experienced them herself. Although she wanted to beat this guy up, she had to admit that this guy was indeed very strong, and it would be more appropriate for him to rescue the hostages.

"Captain, it's bad, Guo Liang is very agitated!" A policeman ran over. Guo Liang was the guy who took the hostages.

Leng Bingbing looked at the stairs. The special police hadn't come up yet. She gritted her teeth and finally made a decision. She looked at Xia Tian and said, "Come with me!"

Leng Bingbing strode towards the innermost ward, where the robbers were. Xia Tian naturally followed her closely. Behind her, Li Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that his job was most likely saved.

"The prisoner's name is Guo Liang, the man who robbed you last night. He held a nurse hostage with a pair of scissors. Go and rescue the hostage." Leng Bingbing said to Xia Tian as they walked.

It turned out that the robbers last night were sent to this hospital, and Li Ping was responsible for guarding these guys. Originally, everyone was handcuffed to the bed, but Guo Liang didn't know how to open the handcuffs, and then he took advantage of the police's inattention and kidnapped the nurse who came in to give him an injection.

"Policewoman, I'm going to rescue the hostage. Are you willing to be my wife?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

"You..." Leng Bingbing glared at Xia Tian fiercely, "You should save the people first!"

"Oh, I'll go right away!" Xia Tian rushed into the ward like a whirlwind, and ran out like a whirlwind a few seconds later, "Police Flower Sister, you are my wife now, right?"

"Didn't I ask you to go save people first?" Leng Bingbing said gritting his teeth.

"He's been rescued!" Xia Tian said with an innocent expression.

"What?" Leng Bingbing was stunned, and then she saw a nurse rushing out of the ward and throwing herself into a policeman's arms and crying loudly. This nurse was the little nurse who was supposed to have been kidnapped.

Leng Bingbing walked into the room uncontrollably, only to find that Guo Liang had fallen to the ground unconscious. As for the scissors, they were still in Guo Liang's hand.

"So fast?" Li Ping's surprised cry came from the door.

Even if Li Ping had seen Xia Tian's skills, he would not have thought that he could resolve the problem so quickly. It took less than a minute!

Of course, if he knew that Xia Tian only took a few seconds to complete the whole process, he would probably be so shocked that his eyes would pop out.

"Brother Li, thank you!" Xia Tian patted Li Ping on the shoulder.

Li Ping was confused again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Xia Tian, ​​if anyone should thank you, it should be me. Why are you thanking me for anything?"

"Of course I have to thank you. If you hadn't given me this opportunity, how could I have gotten the police sister to agree to be my wife?" Xia Tian said with a smile, "If you have any problems in the future, just ask me for help!"

"Of course, of course!" Li Ping was overjoyed. This was simply pie in the sky. Such a good thing actually happened to him. With such a powerful helper in the future, there would be no thief that he couldn't catch.

Leng Bingbing yelled angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who agreed to be your wife?"

"Police sister, didn't you just say that if I rescue that person, you will be my wife?" Xia Tian said quickly.

"I only asked you to save people first. Did I tell you what will happen after you save people?" Leng Bingbing said unhappily.

Xia Tian thought about it and suddenly had a bitter face: "Really? Hey, I must make it clear next time."

Shaking his head, Xia Tian patted Li Ping's shoulder again, looking a little regretful: "Brother Li, if the police sister doesn't want to be my wife, I can't help you anymore."

Li Ping suddenly felt like he went from heaven to hell. He looked at Xia Tian with a bit of grief and indignation. Even if he wanted to regret it, he couldn't do it so quickly, right?

Hurried footsteps were heard from the stairs, and fully armed SWAT police finally appeared, but they soon discovered that their arrival was a bit redundant.
