Chapter 1: The Beautiful Big Girl

  "Xiao Man, aren't you at work?" A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. "What's wrong? Missing Grandma?"

  "Yes, grandma, I really miss you!" Liu Yunman's tone was tinged with a hint of coquetry.

  "You just know how to coax me, if you really miss me, why don't you come back and see me? Don't say you have no time, it only takes an hour to drive here." The old man's tone was tinged with a few hints of reproach.

  "Grandma, I know I was wrong, I'll come back to see you soon." Liu Yun said with a soft voice, but her eyes were slightly dim. Yes, she should go back and visit her grandma, or else, in a few more months, her grandma might never get to see her again.

  "Xiao Man, you're calling me at this time, is there something on your mind?" The old lady let out a soft sigh and asked proactively. With her understanding of her granddaughter, she knew that during this time period, without anything important happening, Xiao Man wouldn't be making a call back home.

  Liu Yunman hesitated for a moment before asking in a soft voice: "Grandma, have you heard of the Inverse Heaven Eight Needles?"

  Bang!

  On the other end of the phone, there was a sound of a cup shattering on the ground. Then, Yúnmàn heard her grandmother's voice rise by an octave, yet with a slight tremble: "Reversal Eight Needles? Xiǎo Màn, who told you about Reversal Eight Needles?"

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

  "Xiao Man, I'm fine, you quickly tell me, who mentioned the Inverse Heaven Eight Needles to you? Did that person say he would use the Inverse Heaven Eight Needles?" The old man's voice became noticeably urgent.

  "There's a person named Xia Tian, he didn't say whether he could do the heavenly needle or not, but said that he can cure my illness. I asked him how to treat it, and then he mentioned the heavenly needle......" Liu Yunman was afraid that her grandmother wouldn't understand, so she simply recounted the entire process over the phone.

  "Summer? A young person under twenty years old?" The old man muttered to himself on the phone, "How could he be a flower delivery person?"

  "Grandma, is he a swindler?" Liu Yunman felt somewhat uneasy.

  "No, no, I just don't quite understand. Alright, Yunman, I'll go to the city right away and meet that young man myself!" The old man made a quick decision.

  "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 hastily.

  "No!" The old man interrupted Liu Yunman's words. "Xiao Man, if that young man really learned the Inverse Heaven Eight Needles, then I must personally go to pay my respects to him!"

  The old man's words carried an unyielding tone: "I'll set off immediately, you wait for me!"

  "Alright, grandma." Now that things had come to this, Liu Yunman naturally didn't dare oppose it anymore. However, in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a bit more curious about that Xia Tian person - could it be that this big boy was really some kind of extraordinary being?

  Suddenly, a shrill police siren sounded outside the hospital entrance. Liu Yunman looked out of the window and saw several police cars driving into the hospital, with over ten fully armed special police officers getting out of the vehicles, leaving her in shock - what big incident had occurred at the hospital?

  The hospital has indeed had an incident and it is a relatively serious hostage-taking event.

  The incident occurred on the sixth floor of the inpatient department, where a patient held a knife and took a nurse hostage, along with two other patients in the same room.

  "Li Ping, how did you become a police officer? You can't even handle such a small matter!" Leng Bing was furious at this moment. "You'd better pray that the hostage doesn't get hurt, otherwise, be prepared to take off your uniform!"

  Li Ping is the deputy captain of the sixth squadron of the criminal police, a direct subordinate of Leng Bingbing. At this moment, he was scolded by Leng Bingbing and did not dare to refute, but in his heart, he was cursing those few subordinates of his. This group of bastards, wasn't he just away for a short while? How could they cause such a big commotion?

  If something really happens to the hostage, as the person directly responsible for this matter, he is afraid that he will really have a hard time keeping his job.

  Li Ping was secretly cursing while praying for the SWAT team to arrive quickly, hoping that the sniper they sent could take down the perpetrator. As long as the hostages were safe, he would at most receive a reprimand.

  All other patients on the sixth floor have been evacuated, and the sixth floor has also 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 somewhat familiar figure. A young man was walking down from the seventh floor at a leisurely pace. Upon closer inspection, he was overjoyed.

  "Summer, summer!" Li Ping rushed towards that young man.

  "Who are you?"

  "Uh, summer, we met at the police station, I'm Li Ping, under Captain Leng." Li Ping felt a bit awkward, this guy seemed to only remember the beauty.

  But Xia Tian saw Ling Bing and walked over with a big smile on his face: "Officer Ling, you're here too!"

  "Don't bother me!" He glared at Xia Tian with a cold and harsh gaze, "We're in the middle of a case, get out of here!"

  "Captain, captain, don't!" Li Ping hastily ran over. Today was a day of bad luck from top to bottom. How could they let the captain drive away the noble person who had just arrived?

  "Li Ping, what are you doing?" Leng Bingbing said coldly.

  "Captain, have you forgotten?" Li Ping said in a low voice, "That time in the summer at the police station, he easily took away Huang Anping's gun. If we ask him for help..."

  "No way, he's not a cop!" Before Li Ping could finish speaking, Leng Bingbing flatly rejected him, of course, she already understood what Li Ping meant.

  "Captain, it's better that he's not a cop. Our superiors told us to hand this over to the special police, but if we do it ourselves, it's disobeying orders. But if an unrelated person does it, then it has nothing to do with us!" Li Ping said quickly, "If we can wrap things up before the special police arrive, we'll save face too, won't we?"

  "In short, it's no use. The special police will arrive soon, let them handle it." Leng Bing was still disagreeing, "As for face, after something like this happened, do you think we still have any face left?"

  "But, Captain, I've heard that those special police are just average. What if someone gets killed and we have to take the blame? If Xia Tian goes, it's a sure thing! Li Ping continued to persuade, thinking for a moment before adding, "Captain, you don't want the hostages to get hurt either, do you?"

  Li Ping was well aware that this captain had a strong sense of justice and in her mind, the safety of the hostages was still the top priority.

  As expected, Li Ping said that, and Leng Bing finally showed some movement. No one else knew about Xia Tian's skills, but she had personally experienced them. Although she hated him so much that she wanted to beat him up badly, she had to admit that he was indeed very strong. Letting him go rescue the hostages would be more suitable.

  "Captain, something's wrong! Guo Liang is getting agitated!" A policeman rushed over, Guo Liang being the guy who had taken hostages.

  She glanced at the stairs and saw that the SWAT team hadn't arrived yet. Gritting her teeth, she finally made a decision and turned to Xia Tian: "Follow me!"

  She walked quickly to the innermost ward, where the hijacker was located. Xia Tian naturally followed closely behind her, and behind them, Li Ping finally let out a long sigh of relief, believing that his rice bowl was mostly safe.

  "The culprit is named Guo Liang, he's the one who robbed you last night. He's holding a nurse hostage with a pair of scissors, go and rescue the hostage." Leng Bing said coldly as she walked away from Xia Tian.

  It turned out that the robbers from last night were sent to this hospital, and Li Ping was in charge of guarding these guys. Originally, everyone was handcuffed to the bed, but Guo Liang somehow opened the handcuffs with something, then took advantage of the police's negligence and hijacked the nurse who came to give him an injection.

  "Police flower sister, I'm going to rescue the hostage now, are you willing to be my wife?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

  "You...!" He glared at Xia Tian with a cold and harsh gaze, "First save the person, then talk!"

  "Oh, I'm going!" Xia Tian rushed into the ward like a whirlwind and ran out again after a few seconds. "Police flower sister, are you my wife now?"

  "Didn't I tell you to go save people first?" said in a cold and icy tone, gritting his teeth.

  "It's already been saved!" Xia Tian said with an innocent expression.

  "What?" Cold as ice, stunned for a moment, then saw a nurse rush out of the ward and throw herself into a policeman's arms, wailing loudly. And this nurse was the little nurse who should have been kidnapped.

  Her icy feet walked uncontrollably into the room, only to find Guo Liang lying on the ground unconscious, and that pair of scissors was still in his hand.

  "So soon?" came Li Ping's astonished cry from the doorway.

  Even if Li Ping had seen Xia Tian's skills before, he wouldn't have thought that he would resolve the matter so quickly, and all of this happened in less than a minute!

  Of course, if he knew that Xia Tian had completed the entire process in just a few seconds, he would probably be so shocked that his eyeballs would pop out.

  "Thanks a lot, Li!" Xia Tian patted Li Ping's shoulder.

  Li Ping was stunned again, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Xiatian, if anyone should be thanked, it's me thanking you. Why are you thanking me?"

  "Of course I have to thank you, if it wasn't for this opportunity you gave me, how could I get Police Sister to agree to be my wife?" Xia Tian said with a smile, "In the future, if there's anything, just find me to help!"

  "Absolutely, absolutely!" Li Ping was overjoyed. This was like a windfall from heaven! Such good fortune had actually fallen into his lap. With such a powerful helper in the future, what thief couldn't be caught?

  "Cold as ice, yet suddenly bellowed in anger: 'What nonsense are you talking about? Who agreed to be your wife?'"

  "Officer sister, didn't you just say that if I saved him, you would be my wife?" Xia Tian hastily said.

  "I just let you save people first, did I say what would happen after you saved them?" Leng Bing said coldly.

  "Summer thought for a moment, suddenly with a bitter melon face: "Really, oh dear, next time I must make it clear."

  Shaking his head, Xia Tian patted Li Ping's shoulder again, looking a bit regretful: "Li brother, since the policewoman won't be my wife, I also can't help you."

  Li Ping suddenly felt like he was falling from heaven to hell. He looked at Xia Tian with a hint of sadness and anger, thinking that even if he wanted to back out, it couldn't be this soon, could it?

  The sound of rapid footsteps came from the staircase, and the fully armed special police finally appeared, only to find that their arrival seemed a bit superfluous.
