The middle-aged man was initially very confident, but Liu Banxia’s smile and the glance he cast toward the back of the car made him have to be slightly distracted.

It’s human nature to be cautious, better safe than sorry.

But just as he turned his head to look, he felt a sudden force hit his neck, and his whole body was driven forward by this force.

"Bang"

At that moment, the sound of gunfire erupted, and the cabin was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Before the person behind could pull the trigger again, Liu Banxia, who was using the middle-aged man as a shield, reached out and grabbed the gun barrel, pushing it aside, while his right hand smashed toward the neck of the person behind him.

A muffled groan, the person behind was hit, his head tilted to the side, and he slumped directly onto the back seat.

"Don’t play tricks. Stop the car obediently. Two are already dead. You don’t want to be the third, do you?" Liu Banxia pressed the grabbed gun barrel against the driver’s head, panting heavily.

This was the self-rescue method he had just thought of, also thanks to the national habit of not liking to wear seat belts in cars, providing him the space to act.

Everything happened so quickly, the driver, with the gun barrel against his head, was scared, his hands and feet trembling, and he stopped the car abruptly.

"Tell the person in front the gun accidentally went off, get him back." Liu Banxia continued.

The driver, trembling, took out his phone and dialed.

"Big Lin, what happened? I heard gunshots," San’s voice came after the call connected.

"S-San, hurry, hurry back. The gun accidentally went off, Old Han got hit," the driver urgently said.

"Shit, wait there."

After San finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"You’re good, at least you can save your life. Cooperate, anyway, I’ve already killed two, I don’t mind killing two more," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Cooperate, cooperate." The driver glanced at the unconscious Old Han and the gunman in the rearview mirror, not daring to turn his head.

San didn’t think much ahead, because he figured with three people and two guns in the car, Liu Banxia seemed easy to handle.

He really believed the gun accidentally went off, injuring Old Han. It wouldn’t matter if Liu Banxia were injured; they intended to kill him anyway. Killing Old Han, however, wouldn’t work, as they relied on his channels to escape.

But when he stopped the car and just ran to the car door, he was faced with a dark gun barrel.

"Surprised? Unexpected? NICE, right?" Liu Banxia said with a grin, showing a set of white teeth.

San was dumbfounded, having rushed over anxiously, only to find himself in this situation. His first instinct was to run, but seeing Liu Banxia shake the gun barrel, he didn’t dare move.

"What are you hesitating for? Call the police, and get an ambulance too. Your guy Old Han isn’t dead yet; if he’s treated in time, there might be hope," Liu Banxia continued.

"Trust in my professional medical ethics as a doctor; I can’t turn a blind eye to those in need. But I’m quite busy right now, so you’ll have to think of a solution."

San glanced at him, not moving. He was contemplating how best to subdue Liu Banxia or escape.

"That won’t be on me then. Driver buddy, your good friend doesn’t care if these two live or die. I’m defending myself, after all, and I’m a doctor who’s seen countless deaths," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Of all people to kidnap, why choose a doctor? Anyone else faced with a scene like this, with a blood-soaked cabin, would be scared senseless."

"Are doctors afraid of this? Not at all. We practically bathe in blood daily; we end up covered in it more often than not. Driver buddy, if this San doesn’t care to save them, should I give him another shot? Your car doesn’t seem to have a dashcam, does it?"

San remained unmoved, but the driver couldn’t withstand the pressure.

Even kidnappers have feelings; he shared a good relationship with the leader, Old Han, so he ended up driving this car.

The policewoman on the other end of the call was taken aback hearing the kidnapper reveal the abduction.

"Please contact Captain Shen Xinhao from the city bureau and tell him I’m Liu Banxia. I’ve been kidnapped by an underground egg-selling syndicate, but I’ve already gained control," said Liu Banxia.

"There are two injured persons in the car. Two ambulances need to be dispatched, and some blood bags too. One person is gunshot wounded, with multiple chest injuries on the left side."

"The kidnappers total four. I’m not sure of the exact location, but could you track the mobile signal? Just head to where the location indicates."

"Dr. Liu, can you save Han? He’s bleeding profusely," the driver spoke up.

For him now, there was no other thought. He couldn’t escape, so all he could think about was how to at least save Old Han’s life.

"I can’t help it, I have to keep an eye on you two. How do I check him out? The one in the back, I might have dislocated his cervical spine, and over time, it could also become life-threatening," Liu Banxia said.

"If you care about them, help me control this guy, tie him up. Otherwise, if it were you, do you think you’d have time to save people?"

"San."

The driver called out to San outside the car.

"Why are you still pondering? Even without a gun, you’re no match for me. You can either run and I’ll shoot you from behind, or charge at me and I’ll shoot you in the chest," Liu Banxia said.

"Are you standing there hoping I’ll get tired from holding the gun? Don’t count on it; we stand with surgical knives for hours, much more tiring than holding a gun."

"Dr. Liu, is that you?"

At this moment, the voice of Shen Xinhao came through the cell phone.

"Captain Shen, it’s me. The head of the black market Binhai City branch approached me, trying to abduct me, but I managed to restrain him." Liu Banxia said quickly.

"Hurry and bring people over, two are already seriously injured, and there might be another one. Now they’re in a deadlock with me, not running, not fighting, and I can’t let him go. Anyway, it’s a standoff."

Shen Xinhao, who was originally very anxious, froze at Liu Banxia’s somewhat casual words. If he didn’t know Liu Banxia wasn’t joking, he’d think it was a prank.

"Our people are on their way; hang in there. An ambulance has also been dispatched," Shen Xinhao said after a brief pause.

"Alright, hurry up. I have a gun now, don’t be scared when your people arrive," Liu Banxia reminded.

"Driver brother, get out of the car and follow my orders. Use your waistband to tie up this heartless San. Uh... you’re wearing sweatpants? Then use your pants to tie him up."

"Control him, then I’ll tie you up, and I can free my hands to save these two. They’re bleeding a lot, and it seems they are close to hypovolemic shock."

Without hesitation, the driver pushed open the car door, took off his pants, and regardless of San’s willingness, tied him to the car door with a dead knot.

"Not bad, I’ll give you a chance for merit. Get in the car, use whatever you can to press on his wound, it will help reduce the bleeding," Liu Banxia said.

"I can already hear the police siren; it looks like they can still make it in time. I’ll report your actions to them; setting aside other matters, you are a man of honor."

The driver didn’t care what he said, tore the seat cover off and directly covered Old Han’s wound, glancing at the original gunman who now had no movement at all, just slumped in the third-row seat.

Only now did Liu Banxia’s heart truly settle down. The reason he was rambling on was to calm himself down; he was also quite shaken.

In the hospital, no injury frightens him, but this time was different; it happened right in front of him. Whether Old Han can be saved or not, he doesn’t know.

And earlier, it was his quick and forceful actions that pulled Old Han aside, or else he would’ve been hit instead. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

There was the seat in between, or Old Han would probably be dead now.

The first to arrive were the patrol officers, who were shocked upon seeing the situation, with blood on the ground beneath the car.

Liu Banxia quickly identified himself, handed over all three guns, and then confirmed with Shen Xinhao before checking Old Han’s wound.

"It’s okay, looks severe, just excessive bleeding. Once the ambulance arrives, timely blood and fluid replacement will be fine," after examining, Liu Banxia said.

"This guy gave me some headaches; I’ll check his cervical spine now, no idea what kind of damage my earlier move caused."

He gently touched the guy’s neck, and Liu Banxia frowned slightly.

The cervical spine joint was somewhat dislocated; the force was really too strong. Whether it affected the nerves remains unknown, as the cervical spine area is quite critical.

He slightly moved his wrist, adjusted the position, and directly reset the dislocated cervical spine.

Whether this guy wakes up, or if there is any nerve damage, is uncertain at the moment. But he felt no guilt for his actions; it was a life-and-death situation. If he had acted softly or slowly, he would be the one lying there now.

Fighting one against four, it sounds easy, but he summoned great determination to dare to act.

He regretted not acting outside the car, but after pinpointing the opportunity, he didn’t hesitate again. It was risking his life because if he didn’t, they would kill him anyway.

Fortunately, he won.

Even now, his heart was pounding rapidly, and his heart rate hadn’t decreased yet. The effects of the adrenaline surge would last for some time.
