<h4>Chapter 1410: Chapter 1718: Carjacker (2)</h4>


    "Hmph! Do you think everyone has as much free time as you?"


    Just as Xia Mutong finished speaking, an urgent voice suddenly came from the police channel on the radio: "Attention all personnel near Jinhai Road, a medical transport vehicle has been hijacked. The driver and staff are in the hands of the hijackers, please proceed immediately for reinforcement. Repeating, all units near Jinhai Road..."


    Upon hearing the call for backup on the radio, Xia Mutong immediately picked it up and replied, "This is Xia Mutong, I’m on my way."


    After speaking, Xia Mutong swiftly reversed the police car and then turned onto another road. Meanwhile, several other police cars followed suit.


    "Jinhai Road..." Ling Chen took out his phone to check the map and found that Jinhai Road was less than two blocks away from their current location, very close indeed.


    "Nowadays, there really are all kinds of people, even robbing medical transport vehicles."


    Xia Mutong remained silent, eyes fixed on the road ahead, pressing the gas pedal with his right foot, elerating the car.


    "Watch out! Watch out!" Seeing the red light at the intersection ahead and the constant flow of traffic, Ling Chen couldn’t help but grab the car handle and loudly remind him.


    However, Xia Mutong showed no sign of slowing down, instead, the speed increased. Watching the vehicles at the intersection move toward the center, Ling Chen widened his eyes, his heart pounding.


    In just one second, Xia Mutong drove the police car straight through the red light. Fortunately, the other vehicles reacted quickly and braked urgently, otherwise, a severe traffic ident would have happened.


    Crossing the intersection, in no time, Ling Chen and Xia Mutong saw the hijacked medical transport vehicle. Around the vehicle, more than a dozen men had gathered. Some were moving boxes of medicine from the transport vehicle to two other vans.


    Ling Chen nced around and immediately locked eyes on the two staff members being held hostage.


    With the arrival of the police car, the criminals turned their attention toward them. Ling Chen observed them, eyebrows raising slightly, these people... looked somewhat familiar, as if he’d seen them somewhere before.


    That’s it! In a sh, Ling Chen recalled and quickly picked up the newspaper beside him. On the front page, there were photos of the criminals who escaped the previous day. No wonder they seemed familiar, these were the ones who escaped yesterday.


    Strange!


    Why are these people here and hijacking a medical transport vehicle?


    "Officer Xia, leave the hostages to me." With that, Ling Chen directly pushed open the car door and quickly charged toward the criminals.


    "Courting death!" A burly man wearing a tight vest, muscles bulging, roared and swung a machete toward him.


    Ling Chen didn’t slow down, acting as if he didn’t see the attack. As the machete was about toe down, Ling Chen slightly tilted his body, easily dodging the blow. Simultaneously, his fist flew out, striking hard at the man’s abdomen.


    In an instant, the man’s body flew away like a ball, hitting the ground heavily.


    Witnessing Ling Chen’s prowess, the other criminals hesitated for a moment, then quickly gathered and surrounded him, intending to take him down together.


    As the group slowly approached, a faint smile appeared on Ling Chen’s lips. His body suddenly leaned forward, turning into a blur, disappearing from their sight. Before the criminals could pinpoint Ling Chen’s location, screams erupted from their midst.


    In seconds, the six or seven men around had all been knocked to the ground.


    At this point, the men moving the medicine boxes saw this, their expressions changing, abandoning theirrades, and hurriedly jumping into the vans to escape.


    However, Xia Mutong had already blocked the vans’ path.


    "Crash through, run her over," one man shouted loudly.


    Watching the two vans quickly driving toward her, Xia Mutong’s expression didn’t change at all.


    When the first van was about to reach her, Xia Mutong suddenly leaped up, kicking through the van’s windshield, hitting the driver squarely.


    The driver couldn’t even struggle before passing out under Xia Mutong’s kick.


    As the first van came to a halt, the second van couldn’t dodge in time and crashed into its rear, the fronts and ends of both vehicles deforming instantly.


    This gave Xia Mutong the opportunity to quickly jump from the first van, circle around to the second, and forcibly drag the driver out.


    "Captain Xia!" At this point, Xia Mutong’s colleagues arrived one by one.


    "Arrest them all, and call for reinforcements," Xia Mutong ordered.


    "Officer Xia, are you okay?" Ling Chen, with his hands in his pockets, walked over with a smile.


    Xia Mutong nced at Ling Chen, saying, "Thanks for your help this time."


    "No need to be polite." Ling Chen looked at the handcuffed criminals being led to the police cars, curiously saying, "What’s with these guys? They just escaped yesterday and now they’re hijacking in East Sea City. Whoever broke them out surely has aplex motive."


    "I know, I’ll investigate this thoroughly." As they spoke, a male officer approached, reporting, "Captain Xia, we’ve captured them, seventeen in total."


    Xia Mutong nodded, "That’s right, there were seventeen people who escaped yesterday, the numbers match. Bring them all back for a thorough interrogation."


    "Yes."


    "Officer Xia, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now."


    As Ling Chen turned to leave, Xia Mutong immediately called out, "Where do you think you’re going? Don’t forget you still have unresolved matters."


    Ling Chen scratched his nose and said, "Officer Xia, I’ve made up for my mistakes. Can’t you let it go? How about this, I’ll treat you to dinner another day."


    "Alright, you said it."


    d that Xia Mutong didn’t pursue his mistakes further, Ling Chen thanked her, and after watching the convoy leave, he took a taxi home.


    Bam!


    In an alley not far from the crime scene, Zhu Hong smashed his coffee cup on the ground, his face livid. Ling Chen, it’s Ling Chen again... Zhu Hong gritted his teeth, his eyes zing with anger.


    After all his efforts to gather a team, the entire n was ruined by Ling Chen. Zhu Hong couldn’t fathom how Ling Chen suddenly appeared at that ce.


    A ghost that won’t rest. Now, all the medicines have been taken by the police as evidence. Where on earth will he find more in such a short time?


    Thinking of that crucial experiment, Zhu Hong felt utterly despairing.
