Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 235 Superhero_1

In his previous life, Xiao Ming had made the acquaintance of a general from Mianbang, and had spent a few days learning Burmese; simple conversations were not a problem for him.

He took another step forward and said, "The child in your arms is just a passerby, I don’t know her, and she has nothing to do with the target you want to kill, nor will the police compromise.

Therefore, by taking her hostage, there is only one outcome for you: you’ll fail your mission and be taken out by a sniper."

Mad Dog immediately looked up, scanning the surroundings, and then swiftly retreated to hide between a column and the wall.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming couldn’t help but admire him.

Mad Dog truly was someone who had grown through countless life-and-death trials, with just one glance being able to identify the best position in the sniper’s blind spot, his perception of the environment and danger as keen as that of a wild beast’s.

Because of his actions, the little girl began to cry in fear again.

"Hey little sister, hello!" Xiao Ming smiled and waved at her, "What’s your name?"

The girl’s attention was diverted, and she sobbed in response, "I... my name is Gu Zhimeng."

Xiao Ming was stunned, thinking to himself: Damn! What are the odds?

In his past life, he had met countless young talents, and among those who made the deepest impression was a person named Gu Zhimeng.

This girl caught a very serious cold at the age of fifteen, which left her with an after-effect that was hard to say whether it was good or bad—hyperosmia.

Simply put, she had acquired a dog’s nose.

Not only could she smell things that others couldn’t, but she could also accurately distinguish a variety of mixed scents and could even detect different body odors emitted by people in varying emotional states.

It was nothing short of amazing.

This incurable yet non-fatal "unique condition" made her miserable, as most smells in the world were unpleasant to her, and for her, it was as if they were all magnified countless times, as if she were living in a toilet.

So she could only stay home, where she had a laboratory-grade cleaning system installed, rarely stepping outside.

That is until Xiao Ming gave her a job she could do from home—blending perfumes.

Upon reflection, the first time they met was twelve years later when Gu Zhimeng was in her early twenties, an age that matched that of the little girl standing before him.

It was almost certainly her.

This was a future genius-level master perfumer; she absolutely couldn’t die here in confusion.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Xiao Ming’s smile became even warmer, "Hello, little Zhimeng! Can Uncle call you Mengmeng?"

Gu Zhimeng, still hiccupping, said, "Ye-yes, you can."

"What a good girl! Listen to Uncle, don’t be afraid, you won’t get hurt, and soon you’ll be back with your mother," he reassured her.

Gu Zhimeng blinked her tear-filled eyes, "Really?"

"Uncle promises you!"

"Then I won’t be... I won’t cry anymore."

Apparently finding it dishonest to say she wasn’t scared, the little girl hastily changed her claim to not crying, which was quite endearing.

Xiao Ming gave her a conspiratorial wink, and then his face turned serious as he looked at Mad Dog and said, "Your target is now in my hands, the girl who just injured you is my bodyguard.

Which means, only I can give you the chance to complete your mission."

In the distance, the forms of the special police began to appear, and Mad Dog seemed to become anxious, grabbing Gu Zhimeng by the neck and hissing, "Damn it, what do you mean?"

"Don’t panic," Xiao Ming took another step forward, "I mean it’s simple, let the girl go, and take me hostage instead.

I’m taller than you, I can block the snipers for you and make it easier for you to escape to the underground parking lot.

Most importantly, only by taking me hostage can my bodyguard hand over your target.

I warn you not to underestimate the quality of our Han Country Special Police, they are much more formidable than the Southeast Asian Monkey Police Force.

So, I’m giving you just one minute to think it over."

At that moment, Ding Jianwei finally rushed over with her colleagues in a hurry, showed their IDs to the policemen guarding the cordon, and approached the temporary command table of the special police.

Upon seeing the leader of the special police, she immediately said, "The culprit is from a Southeast Asian assassin organization called Mad Dog, known for their extremely brutal ways. They disregard the lives of everyone, including their own.

Therefore, we recommend, if there’s a chance, to shoot to kill immediately!"

The leader nodded, "Thank you for the intelligence, but the current situation is still quite complicated.

The culprit is holding a child hostage and is hidden in a blind spot. There are also innocent travelers lingering on the premises. Given these circumstances, it’s difficult for us to act."

"Travelers lingering?"

Ding Jianwei frowned, deeply dissatisfied with the efficiency of the airport security.

"Yes. That traveler, I don’t know if he has watched too many personal heroism movies or what, but he ignores our calls and has even started chatting with the culprit. It’s very likely he’s trying to save the hostages.

Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that they are in cahoots, putting on a smokescreen for us."

"This is absurd!"

Ding Jianwei was furious and grabbed a pair of binoculars from a nearby officer to take a look at the scene, his mouth gaping open.

Xiao Ming?

What is he doing here?

Could it be that the message he sent me wasn’t about getting information, but that he had actually seen Mad Dog?

This idiot, what is he trying to prove? Mad Dog isn’t just some loser taking out his frustrations on society; even a negotiation expert might not be able to handle them. What good would his martial arts do?

After silently raging to himself, Ding Jianwei put down the binoculars and said, "I know that person, he’s a businessman from the mainland. He offered us a lot of help in a case before, so we can be sure he’s not with the culprit."

The leader was taken aback, then overjoyed, "That’s great, persuade him to come back quickly!

He’s at the scene, and our negotiation experts can’t get there."

"Alright! I’ll try."

Meanwhile, Xiao Ming teased Gu Zhimeng a few more times, feeling that it was about time, he asked Mad Dog, "What’s your decision?"

Mad Dog nodded, "I’ve made up my mind."

"What is it?"

"I’m taking the two of you hostage."

Xiao Ming’s brow furrowed, and he said gravely, "Greed will do you no good."

Mad Dog licked his lips with a ferocious look, "I don’t care!"

Xiao Ming’s eyes narrowed, his thoughts rapidly spinning as he considered his options.

Just then, Mad Dog suddenly shouted, "Don’t move, or I’ll kill her right now!"

Xiao Ming turned his head to see Ding Jianwei standing about a dozen meters away, looking at him with concern and anxiety.

"Xiao Ming, get your ass back here!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven’t even started with you for losing the suspect, and you’re already cursing at people.

What’s this, now that you have your merits, you’re thinking of killing the donkey when the grinding’s done?"

"I really wish I could butcher you, you stupid donkey!" Ding Jianwei snarled through clenched teeth, "Don’t you know what Mad Dog is, playing superhero here? Come back to me this instant!"

"Sis, you think I’ve got nothing better to do than play with Mad Dog!" Xiao Ming spread his hands, "That bastard has taken a kid hostage, what do you expect me to do, turn a blind eye and walk away?"

Ding Jianwei’s expression softened a lot, "This isn’t your responsibility." frёeωebɳovel.com

"If it were an adult, maybe I could ignore it.

But unfortunately, it’s a child. As a man about to become a father, I’m taking on the role of that superhero!"

Having said that, Xiao Ming flashed a grin at the woman, and then turned to walk toward Mad Dog.

"You win. From now on, both of us are your hostages."
