and pull the trigger," the tall man smiled indifferently. "Unfortunately, firstly, you won't hit me, and secondly, your gun is completely out of bullets."Isabella's expression changed again; indeed,...Chapter 749: Lucky Hu

The Provincial Department.

Hu Tu stood by the window, looking at the road below with a look of anger mixed with helplessness.

As the head of the Public Security Department, he was responsible for safeguarding the safety of all citizens in Pinghai Province. Yet now, he found himself unable to even protect his own wife, which was truly tragic and infuriating, especially given how brazen the criminals were.

What made it even more unexpected was that he received a call from the kidnappers, who demanded that he release Cai Pengcheng. This instantly made him realize that the kidnappers had come specifically because of Cai Pengcheng.

Although Hu Tu was worried about his wife's safety, he knew that he couldn't compromise with the kidnappers. He wouldn't trade Tsai Pengcheng for his wife; all he could do now was wait for the police in Jianghai City to solve the case, and stay here while doing so. He wanted to go find her himself, but he also understood that in his current state, trying to take action would likely only make things worse.

"Ring ring..." The office phone suddenly rang.

Hu Tu quickly turned around and walked to the desk, picking up the receiver immediately: "This is Hu Tu!"

"Director Hu, it's me, Leng Bingbing," a voice familiar to Hu Tu said from the other end of the line. "Miss Su is currently at the East District Police Station. She was frightened but otherwise okay. Could you come and pick her up"

"Little Leng, what did you say I didn't hear it right," Hu Tu doubted his own hearing, or rather, he hadn't expected such good news to arrive so suddenly. "Are you saying that you've found Mei Ping already You've rescued her"

"Director Hu, actually I wasn't the one who found her, but Miss Su is currently with me. Apart from being slightly frightened, she hasn't been harmed in any other way. If you're too busy to come over, I can take Miss Su to you," Ling Bing was surprisingly polite despite not needing to be so courteous towards Hu Tu, as it had recently been the opposite—Hu Tu often asked her for favors.

"No no, I have time. I'll be right there!" Hu Tu hurriedly said before hanging up and running out of his office.

After about ten minutes, when Hu Tu saw his unharmed wife at the Dong District branch, he finally believed that even heaven had a moment of kindness. His wife was rescued by the police less than an hour after being kidnapped; it truly was a miracle!

"Meiping, please take a seat first. I need to talk with Little Bing for a bit," Hu Tu comforted his wife before leaving her once she calmed down and heading over to Ling Bing's office.

"Little Bing, thank you so much this time." Hu Tu looked at Ling Bing with sincere gratitude.

"Director Hu, you're being too polite. This time it really wasn't my achievement," Cold Ice said coolly.

At this moment, Hu Tu also became curious: "Little Cold, what's going on Did we catch the kidnappers"

"We caught all of them and they are currently at our police station. Director Hu, you can send people to take them away," Cold Ice replied. After a brief pause, she added, "Actually, it was Xia Tian who helped find the kidnappers."

"Xia Tian" Hu Tu was surprised, then he realized something. "No wonder! I was wondering how we could have found the kidnappers so quickly. Little Cold, this time you two really saved the day. Otherwise..."

Hu Tu didn't ask for more details because he knew Xia Tian had extraordinary abilities. Of course, Hu Tu was unaware that although it could be said to be Xia Tian's achievement in a way, Xia Tian hadn't actually done anything himself. It was just good luck that coincidentally led to the rescue of Su Meiping when Hu Dong was kidnapped and Chu Men people were searching everywhere for the kidnappers.

However, this time, Hutu was once again indebted to Xia Tian for a major favor. The credit for rescuing Su Meiping naturally went to Leng Bingbing, even though she hadn't actually done anything herself—she had merely answered Xia Tian's call and someone had directly delivered the kidnappers along with Su Meiping to the East District Police Station. She had simply received them.

Hutu didn't stay at the East District Police Station for long since he needed to take Su Meiping home right after she was rescued. As for the kidnappers, he just had someone detain them temporarily and planned on questioning them personally later on.

Meanwhile, Yun Qing had just finished dinner with Xia Tian in her home.

"I have something I need to discuss with you," Yun Qing said after they were done eating and then pulled Xia Tian into her bedroom.

"Sis Yun Qing, there's also something I want to talk to you about!" Xia Tian stated seriously. "You still like me right now, so it’s time for you to keep your promise and marry me!"

Yun Qing couldn't help but blush. She felt rather helpless; though she had been away from Xia Tian for a period of time, which wasn’t long—about ten days—but after meeting him this time, she realized that she still didn’t mind the intimate behavior between them. Not too long ago when she first met Xia Tian again, she even threw herself into his arms.

"Can we talk about this later" Yun Qing's tone carried a hint of pleading. In fact, her feelings towards Xia Tian had unconsciously changed; during Winter’s kidnapping incident, she was at a loss and panicked, but after Winter returned home, she realized that Xia Tian was actually the strongest support for both her and Winter.

"Alright." Xia Tian wasn’t in a hurry either. There was plenty of time tonight. "Then what do you want to discuss with me, Senior Sister Yun Qing"

“Today’s incident made me worried; I don't know if she will encounter such things again in the future. After considering it, I think we should perhaps hire a bodyguard for her” Yun Qing was hesitant. Usually, those who hired bodyguards were either wealthy tycoons or political figures. She was just an ordinary lawyer, and hiring one for her daughter seemed exaggerated. But she really feared another incident like today’s, which left her indecisive.

"Senior Sister Yun Qing, you can leave this to me. I will arrange someone to protect both of you." Xia Tian felt that he should start looking into protecting his wife too; not every one of them was like Xiao Qiao who had a bodyguard by their side. To prevent any possible dangers, it would be better to have some form of protection for them, whether obvious or covert.o pay thirty yuan each day for this bridge.
