Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 236 Pure Man_1

"Xiao..."

Ding Jianwei’s intended shout was stuck in her throat, her heart feeling as if it were being lifted by a rope, tense and uncomfortable enough to want to kill.

Because they had arrested the head spy Zhao Tinghe last night and the interrogation had not yet finished, she passed on the Mad Dog information Xiao Ming had sent to the local police, asking them to monitor and investigate first.

But when she finished up and rushed to the express hotel with her team, Mad Dog’s car was still in the parking lot, yet the room was empty; the person had disappeared without a trace, and the comrades who were supposed to be surveilling were completely unaware.

After that, she received another text from Xiao Ming, saying that Mad Dog was at the airport, and the likely target was Duan Hongqing.

Xiao Ming hadn’t mentioned he was at the airport too, so she assumed that this was intelligence he got from elsewhere; she didn’t reply and headed straight there.

If she had known this was the situation, she would have called and cursed someone out early on.

Damn it! If you dare to get into trouble, I... I’ll introduce your wife to a boyfriend!

After muttering this vicious thought to herself, Ding Jianwei turned and retreated back to the command center and said to the SWAT team leader, "Looks like my friend intends to become a hostage voluntarily to look for an opportunity to save the girl.

I’ve coordinated with him before, and we have a good understanding. Leader, can you temporarily give me command?

I can sign a military order: if anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility, even if it means going to jail!"

The leader pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision, "Alright! I’ll leave it to you!"

After that, he announced Ding Jianwei’s identity and transfer of command through the walkie-talkie, but Ding Jianwei only said to the three positioned sniper teams, "Wait for my command, don’t hesitate, fire immediately!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Ming had walked up to Mad Dog, turning his back to him as instructed and slowly retreating until Mad Dog clutched his throat.

"Easy there, if you strangle me now, you’ll lose everything."

Lightly prying at Mad Dog’s hand, he then lowered his head to smile at Gu Zhimeng, "Uncle is here with you now, aren’t you a little less scared?"

Gu Zhimeng leaned closer to him and asked puzzledly, "Did Uncle come here especially for me?"

"That’s right!"

"Why? I don’t even know you."

"Because you’re both pretty and cute; Uncle took a liking to you at first sight!"

Xiao Ming smiled like a doting old aunt, "Plus, I’m about to become a father. I really want to have a daughter, and if she grows up to be as lovely and pretty as you, I would be very happy."

Gu Zhimeng’s round little face blushed like an apple, she sweetly said, "Uncle will definitely be a good dad!"

"Hmm, that’s what I think too."

He wore a smug face, teasing the little girl into giggles.

The laughter carried far in the empty hall. Hearing it, the hearts of the onlooking passengers became complicated, especially those who had first cursed Xiao Ming.

"Damn! No matter what, that kid is a real man!" one of them couldn’t help saying.

"Yeah, the real deal!" another chimed in, "If he comes out of this okay, I want to shake his hand and apologize to him."

"Good! Let’s do it together."

"Count me in."

"Me too!"

"..."

More and more people joined in, the surrounding travelers also got riled up.

After all, no matter how cold society becomes, there are always those among us with warmth in their hearts.

Such people might go unnoticed or even be disliked in everyday life, but in critical moments, heroes often emerge from among them.

Similarly, they hold more adoration and respect for heroes.

On the other side, Gu Zhimeng’s laughter made Mad Dog even more irritable. Tightening his grip on the girl’s neck, he harshly asked, "What now?"

Xiao Ming held Gu Zhimeng’s little hand and said, "With you holding the two of us like this, you can’t walk properly, and the other half of your body isn’t shielding you, making it pointless.

It would be better if I stand directly in front of you, holding the girl.

"With a double-layer human shield, the girl in front would make the police very wary, afraid to shoot."

Mad Dog fell silent for a moment, then said, "Fine! But I warn you, don’t try anything slick.

I can snap the neck of a calf with one hand, and catch a fly in midair.

If you dare make a wrong move, I’ll kill you immediately!"

Xiao Ming smiled, "Don’t worry. Even my bodyguard couldn’t subdue you in a short time; do you think I would dare to play tricks?"

Mad Dog promptly let go of Gu Zhimeng, then wrapped his arm around his neck and completely hid himself behind him.

Xiao Ming pulled Gu Zhimeng to his front, his hands on her shoulders, and said softly, "Does that feel better now?

Don’t be afraid, keep walking slowly, and it will all be over soon, Uncle promises you."

Zhimeng nodded and started walking forward.

Xiao Ming followed step for step, with Mad Dog clinging to him as if possessed.

Seeing this, Ding Jianwei immediately ordered the evacuation of the onlookers at the exit and watched Xiao Ming without blinking.

She believed that Xiao Ming would signal her.

She absolutely couldn’t miss it.

Because of their awkward positions, the two adults and one child moved very slowly and only covered about ten meters in two to three minutes.

"Hey! Can you loosen your grip? Leaning back is really tiring, and look, I’m sweating on my forehead," Xiao Ming complained, panting.

"At this rate, I’ll be exhausted before we even reach the parking lot."

Mad Dog was quiet for a moment, and then his arm began to shift slightly downwards, away from Xiao Ming’s throat.

And when the arm moved, the taut muscles were bound to relax.

This was exactly what Xiao Ming was waiting for.

Suddenly, he acted.

As he pushed Gu Zhimeng away with great force with his right hand, he let out a loud shout. His waist powered the movement, transferring it to his shoulders. He twisted his upper body backward, raised his left arm, and his elbow struck Mad Dog squarely on the temple.

Bang!

A muffled sound erupted as Mad Dog, caught off guard, was hit so hard that his feet left the ground, his body spinning more than 270º around his waist in midair, his head hitting the ground first.

Thud!

Xiao Ming, however, dared not take it lightly. He leapt onto Mad Dog instantly, his fists raining down like meteors, like falling stars, faster than lightning. In just a few breaths, he landed more than twenty punches on Mad Dog’s face.

He stopped only when Mad Dog’s face was unrecognizable and he was completely unconscious.

"Damn it, thinking you can compare me to a calf? Now do you know if I dare to play tricks?"

The whole thing happened so quickly that the sniper, watching through the scope, was stunned. The special police officers at a distance were shocked, and the onlooking tourists were all dumbfounded.

The next moment, Xiao Ming straightened up, flashed a toothy smile towards Ding Jianwei, and it was brilliant.

With a roar!

The tourists who came to their senses exploded with excitement. A deluge of whistles and cheers filled the air. People shouted "Real Man", "Well done", "So uplifting", "Great hero" and other words of praise. The applause was thunderous.

Of course, countless cameras and phone lenses were also frantically capturing the scene.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming couldn’t help but sigh to himself as it seemed impossible to keep a low profile now; he might as well raise his arm and wave to everyone.

At that moment, Gu Zhimeng got up from the ground, but instead of looking for her mother, she turned and threw herself into his arms.

Consequently, on that day, all the major media and online platforms featured a photo.

In the picture, among the silhouettes of countless special police officers rushing forward, a young man was hugging a little girl, his mouth full of big white teeth.

Underneath him lay a man whose face was obscured.

The title was highlighted in red and bold, with four big characters: Real Man!
