"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Ming Zhitian couldn't help but ask.
Fan Miaomiao flashed a beautiful smile. "I'm fine, I remember now. Since I saved you and you saved me, we're even. Then, I, Fan Miaomiao, will be your friend."
Ming Zhitian nodded. "Alright. Before that..."
Ming Zhitian walked to a thug and stomped hard on his arm with his foot! "Crack!"
"Ah—!!" The thug woke up in pain!
Ming Zhitian asked, "Tell me, who sent you, and what was your objective?"
The thug shook his head desperately. "I... I don't know!"
Ming Zhitian let out a light hum and broke his other arm! "Crack!"
"Ah!!—..." The thug was stunned by the pain.
It was too fast, less than a second from start to finish, giving him no time to think. Only now did the thug realize his position: he was a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Fan Miaomiao marveled at Ming Zhitian's decisive ruthlessness.
Ming Zhitian raised his foot towards the thug's thigh, and the thug was so scared he peed himself. "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! No, no, no! I'll tell you!"
Ming Zhitian put his foot down. The thug broke out in a cold sweat, enough to fill a bath. "It was 'One-Eyed Dragon,' the boss of the Evil Dragon Gang, who ordered us to kidnap Fan Miaomiao. He said his boss, One-Eyed Dragon's father, needed a heart transplant surgery."
Fan Miaomiao walked over in her high heels, her footsteps making "tick-tock" sounds. "No matter who it is or what surgery it is, why didn't he just come to my hospital? Why kidnap me?"
The thug endured the pain and said, "Uh... that's because One-Eyed Dragon's father's heart is extremely rare. He recently found a match with ninety percent compatibility from a living person. But the boss's father can't wait any longer; he won't survive for two more days. To ensure everything goes smoothly, we had to find you, the most skilled doctor in Miaohai City, to perform this surgery, so..."
Fan Miaomiao said angrily, "What? Sacrifice a perfectly healthy person to save a dying one? That's inhumane! I refuse!"
The thug said with a pained expression, "We knew you would refuse the surgery, so we planned to kidnap you first. We were forced into this, please, both of you, be merciful and let me go..."
Ming Zhitian chuckled. "Do you think I will?"
The thug quickly spouted nonsense. "I have an eighty-year-old mother, a three-year-old wife who needs feeding, and a one-month-old baby. Please let me go..."
Ming Zhitian said, "Enough. Lead the way."
"What?" The thug thought he had misheard.
Did this person think Ming Zhitian was so foolish as to walk into a tiger's den? Was he crazy?
Ming Zhitian lost patience. "I'll only say this once: lead the way. Where is One-Eyed Dragon's?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take you there right away." The thug, intimidated by Ming Zhitian's hellish gaze, quickly agreed.
Ming Zhitian told Fan Miaomiao that Xiaohong was at the fried chicken shop, described her appearance, and asked her to look after her.
"I'll be back in ten minutes. Thank you."
Fan Miaomiao nodded. "I'll wait for you."
The thug was bewildered and thought to himself, "Taking a taxi to the boss's place takes at least half an hour, so an hour for the round trip. Ten minutes? Does he think he's a speedster? He's not afraid of sticking his tongue out and hurting his back."
While the thug was muttering to himself, Ming Zhitian, having learned the location, flashed and appeared a kilometer away!
The thug blinked his eyes. He only saw a blur, and a gust of wind seemed to have carried him that far. It was faster than flying.
Fan Miaomiao went to the fried chicken shop and immediately recognized the Xiaohong Ming Zhitian had described. She suddenly felt a pang of loss. "He has a daughter already..."
