Without the driver, the van lost control immediately. The kidnappers in the van could have taken hold of the driving wheel to stabilize the vehicle, but they were scared out of their wits. They couldn't believe that a human can be faster than a van and thought that the thing chasing them wasn't a human but rather a ghost.
Would a ghost save a human?
The following scene spooked them even more. The kidnappers saw Jiang Xiu hang off the walkway's railing then leap off it.
HOLY MOTHER! It's 5 m high! There's also traffic!
There was no doubt he'd get killed by a car crashing into him if he didn't die from the fall.
Who wouldn't think he's a ghost facing such a scene?
The kidnappers still hadn't realized that the van was about to crash ahead. It was already too late by the time they understood it.
BANG!
Jiang Xiu dropped down from the sky, his palm pressing down on the van's roof. A considerable power burst forth and stopped the van right in its tracks. The van's roof also caved in due to it.
It would have served the kidnappers right if they died from the crash but Xiao Xuetong was still inside. The consequences of her getting hurt from the accident were too unimaginable.
OH GOD!
The kidnappers were utterly dumbfounded.
H-He stopped the van with just a hand?
What is he if not a ghost?
Crash! Crash!
The van was okay, but the cars behind weren't. The driver of the car behind them had used the emergency break instantly which caused the car behind it to crash into the tail lights. One continued after another, and a total of 5 cars had crashed into each other. It was indeed a tragic sight. For a moment, only the sounds of horns were audible.
Jiang Xiu went to the door and opened it. The kidnappers looked at him in alarm, "You really have guts. You think you can kidnap a person from this Deity's hands?"
"G-Ghost…"
These people who had never believed in the supernatural were now shivering.
They didn't dare to even put up a resistance.
Though people were surrounding them in this central city district, they didn't feel safe at all. It was because they knew that this demon was watching them.
The sounds of sirens came through from far away.
"It's the police. The police have arrived…"
They used to grunt whenever they heard sirens before, but now, they felt as if their mothers had come to pick them up.
"Police officer, save our lives!"
"Save us!"
Xiao Xuetong didn't know what was happening at all because she was tied behind in the back seat and couldn't see what was happening ahead. She only heard the driver scream about a ghost then roll out of the van. The van went out of control then stopped again. Her head knocked against the seat in the front at this moment, and she felt dizzy due to this. She felt as if she saw Jiang Xiu during her dazed state then passed out.
"Aren't you the kidnappers?"
Sometimes, even kidnappers need to be saved by the police.
They would instead go to prison than face this demon.
Jiang Xiu was startled after seeing that Xiao Xuetong wasn't reacting. He was worried that something happened to her, so he rushed in and grabbed her hand to check her pulse. He judged that she must have fainted.
The kidnappers jumped out of the ban's windows but none of dared to escape.
It was said that it was useless to run if a ghost was targeting you.
Their only hope was to go to prison.
Each one of the kidnappers waited for the police to arrive and arrest them. They even prayed for the police to come faster.
The police had put in an extra effort this time. Someone had witnessed the kidnapping incident, and though the person hadn't seen who got kidnapped, he was sure it was a kidnapping so hesitated a bit before reporting it to the police in the end.
Jiang City's police immediately checked the CCTV footage and determined that it was indeed a kidnapping. They had eyes on the vehicle the entire time, and this was the reason they had arrived so fast.
"No one moves!"
"Freeze!"
The police cars surrounded the seven-seater van, and the police officers aimed their guns at them. The kidnappers had long ago started matching by kneeling down on their knees and raising their hands up.
"Saved. We are saved."
One of the police officers rushed towards the kidnapper's van and saw Jiang Xiu and Xiao Xuetong inside. The moment his sight fell on Xiao Xuetong, he knew that this schoolgirl was the kidnapped victim, but he was stunned soon after. He discovered that the girl was the superstar Xiao Xuetong. He felt blood rush up to his head at this moment.
Great!
He wasn't expecting for the hostage who he saved to be Xiao Xuetong.
"Don't move! Put your hands behind your head and squat down…"
Jiang Xiu tried to talk, "I'm not a kidnapper, I saved her…"
The constable seemed around 35-years-old and was the Deputy Captain. He was a brave person and had lots of combat experience. He roared at Jiang Xiu, "I repeat. Put your hands behind your head and squat down…"
The Deputy Captain glared at him while tightening the grip on the gun aimed towards him. It looked like he would fire if Jiang Xiu didn't match his instructions.
Jiang Xiu felt helpless and raised his hands.
The officer didn't provoke Jiang Xiu again, "Get down…" His number priority right now was to guarantee Xiao Xuetong's safety. His mission would be complete if she safe.
The hostage he saved was Xiao Xuetong who was currently popular in the showbiz. He even felt he might get promoted for this deed.
"Can't you see they're wearing masks? They are the kidnappers."
"I came to rescue her."
Jiang Xiu was really worried about the IQ of these police officers. As Xiao Xuetong was unconscious right now, she couldn't testify for him.
"Stop the nonsense. Put your hands forward so I can shackle them…"
Jiang Xiu felt angry. He had saved the person out of kindness but got accused wrongly and even got manacled. He decided to reveal his identity before this turned uglier.
"Are you going to do it this way?"
"I stopped the car. I grabbed the kidnappers. If it weren't for me, would these guys have let you catch them? Do you think they are idiots?"
Officer Chen Bin also felt this was surprising. When they had arrived, the kidnappers were kneeling on the ground, begging for forgiveness. Even if Jiang Xiu's words seemed 80% authentic, he couldn't allow an ordinary person to take the credit for such a great achievement.
"Hah! You know nothing. We had already arranged an inescapable net and blocked the escape routes. That's why these kidnappers had surrendered."
Jiang Xiu was stunned. He scrunched his brows. Although he was in the van just before, he was clear about the outside circumstances. The police had come from a single road far away and didn't come from any other routes. This meant the person before him was telling lies. When Jiang Xiu remembered that the victim was Xiao Xuetong, he realized that this person was trying to steal the credit.
"What? Got nothing to say now?"
"According to what I see, you're a kidnapper and the mastermind behind this…"
A cold glint flashed past Jiang Xiu's gaze, "Say that again?"
Jiang Xiu couldn't care more about such an achievement as it was utterly useless for him. But this person before him was framing him and even made him the mastermind.
"Shut your trap! Deputy Captain, let's just shackle him…"
One of the police officers said rudely, rushed ahead and grabbed Jiang Xiu then pressed him against the police car.
…
Inside the interrogation room of the police department, to avert any accidents, he interrogated Jiang Xiu personally. He had to seal this case as soon as possible as he couldn't allow the achievement to slip through his hands.
"Name and age…"
"Jiang Xiu, 17…"
"Where do you live?"
The news spread out quite fast. Xiao Xuetong's boss, as well as the agent and the lawyer, hurried to the police department as soon as possible. Hundreds of paparazzi and reporters had followed behind them.
The police department was surrounded in a moment.
"How is Xiaoxiao right now?"
"She's fine, right?"
"…"
Even the Captain of the Jiang City's police force, Captain Fang had rushed over immediately. This was no small matter. The disturbance created by the kidnapping of a superstar was worse than the abduction of a leader. Luckily, this case was already settled perfectly, so it brought a lot of face to the police this time.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have no comments on the case currently…"
Captain Fang entered the interrogation room right after this. Chen Bin stood right after seeing the boss come inside.
"How is it going? Has he confessed?"
"It's troublesome, Captain Fang…" Chen Bin replied.
"That brat keeps saying he came to save her…"
Captain Fang cursed out, "Bullsh*t!"
Chen Bin knew what to do after hearing this. "But his lips are pretty tight…"
"It's useless even if he's tight-lipped. You know what to do, right?"
"Xiao Xuetong's influence is too enormous. After the case results go out, the entire nation will know this matter by tomorrow morning. Our Jiang City will be the focus."
"Do you get it? What do you think will happen if it news shows that such a superstar got saved by an ordinary brat?"
"There were 7-8 kidnappers! No one will believe it!"
Captain Fang continued, "Do you still need me to tell you what to do?"
