Tattooed War God: The Urban Legion

Chapter 21: Hijacking

When people around need help, others usually adopt an indifferent attitude to avoid getting involved. Therefore, when one is threatened, the people around will also stand by indifferently. "Get off, I'm requisitioning your motorcycle!" Tang Yulan said in an unmistakable tone. The motorcycle owner was furious and sneered, "Kid, who are you talking to like that? Do you know who I am?" As he spoke, he freed his right hand and jabbed at Tang Yulan's head. Tang Yulan caught his wrist with his left hand, then used his right shoulder to push against the armpit, and with a twist, threw him out, sending him crashing heavily onto the road. By the time the motorcycle owner stood up, gritting his teeth in pain, Tang Yulan had already ridden off on the motorcycle. "Police, it's a robbery!" Now the street was in chaos, and the armed police were about to chase the desperadoes; they had no time to take care of him. The roar of the engine was thunderous, sounding like that of a sports car, very deep. The black dynamic and sharp lines turned into a meteor-like flash of light charging out in the darkness. Tang Yulan gritted his teeth and sighed inwardly.

Although she didn't have much of a relationship with Su Youyou, seeing this beautiful girl being kidnapped right by his side, he couldn't help but feel anxious and furious. He hated this feeling of unease. When the police car passed by, the piercing siren echoed throughout the entire street, dispersing most of the crowd, but Tang Yulan was not hindered. Su Youyou, still in shock and not yet fully recovered, had a pale face. She had just been hijacked onto the vehicle when the man with the hooked nose on the left had already pressed the dark muzzle of his gun against her head. 'Brother Four, you've got some skills, kidnapping such a pretty chick,' the man with the hooked nose said, his rough fingers gently sliding across her cheek. 'Ah, don't touch me!' Su Youyou screamed in fear, curling up into a ball. The man raised an eyebrow and laughed, 'Such a big reaction from the chick, she might even be a virgin.' Su Youyou hugged her arms, sandwiched between two fierce robbers, feeling no support amidst her fear, and couldn't help but regret in her heart why she had to have dinner with Tang Yulan, that clueless guy. Otherwise, she should be comfortably lying on the sofa watching an extremely sensational Korean drama. The piercing sound of the police siren was getting closer and closer, and Su Youyou's eyes lit up. Great, the police are here to save me. The man with the beard said angrily, 'Damn it, we've been spotted by these cops, what should we do, boss?' The man with the beefy face sitting in the passenger seat sneered, 'What's there to be afraid of? It's just a few armed police, let me give them something to think about first!'

He raised his submachine gun and poked his head out of the window, firing wildly at the police cars behind him. Flames spat from the muzzle, followed by the piercing sound of gunfire. The armed police had not expected the bandit to be so fierce; as one police car dodged, it lost control and crashed into the glass door of a shop. With a crisp shatter, the broken glass scattered through the night light like dazzling diamonds. The police car was stuck, while the Hummer continued to race forward. 'Second brother, calm down, the police will retaliate if you shoot now,' said the man with a beard, his eyes bulging. 'What's there to be afraid of? It's just a few cops. Third brother, you're too cautious. With our skills, we might not necessarily fail to escape,' said the man with a face full of flesh. The man in the driver's seat was very steady, lighting a Nanjing cigarette while driving and speaking slowly: 'What third brother said makes sense. These police came prepared, and many roads must have been blocked by them. It might be better to run towards crowded areas.' The bearded man nodded, 'Listen to the boss, after all, we still have the beautiful chick in our hands.'

Having said that, the seahorse accelerated again, while the police cars behind struggled to keep up. At the same time, the Nan Cheng Sub-bureau of Lingjiang City had also made arrangements, with everyone setting up an ambush at the checkpoints, and the armed police taking their positions. Reporters from the Lingjiang City People's Daily also responded to the news and set out, causing unease among the people of Lingjiang City at night. In this era of information explosion and technological leadership, any stir can spread rapidly. The desperadoes used firearms and opened fire indiscriminately, which was a blatant provocation against the state machinery and the massive public security apparatus. For a moment, netizens on Weixun rushed to broadcast and comment. The desperadoes' driving skills were very sophisticated, performing difficult maneuvers while turning. They realized that the most dangerous places were the safest, and they headed towards crowded sections of the road, so the armed police dared not shoot, and they still had hostages, completely taking the initiative. The armed police were furious; the female hostage was hijacked right under their noses. If anything went wrong, they could not escape responsibility, and the entire Nan Cheng Sub-bureau of Lingjiang City might be disciplined as a result. Speeding all the way, the desperadoes' car crashed through the streets, finally shaking off the police cars behind. 'Haha, these cops' driving skills are really not that great, big brother hasn't even shown his true abilities, and they've already been left in the dust,' the bearded man laughed loudly. 'No, why are there motorcycles behind?'

The man in the passenger seat said with a grim face. Tears glistened in Su Youyou's eyes as she turned her head to look back, only to see the glaring headlights of the motorcycle behind. The man with the beard snorted coldly and said, 'Big brother, slow down, I think he's asking for death.' 'Third brother, shoot him dead, don't dawdle!' the man in the passenger seat shouted. 'Got it, keep a good watch.' As they spoke, the Hummer slowed down, getting closer and closer to the motorcycle behind. When they were less than seven or eight meters away from the motorcycle, the man with the beard quickly stuck his head out and pulled the trigger of his pistol, spraying a burst of shots at the rear. At the moment the gun fired, the motorcycle's headlights suddenly went out, leaving only the glaring flames from the muzzle particularly dazzling. The pistol had a wide shooting range, and it even knocked off one of the Hummer's tail lights. 'Damn it, where's the motorcycle?'

The bearded man bellowed. The Hummer slowed down, and several people poked their heads out of the windows, looking for the motorcycle's trace, cursing incessantly. The fellow with a face full of flesh on the passenger seat pointed his submachine gun and fired several shots at random behind them. Just then, Tang Yulan accelerated sharply on his motorcycle, quickly overtaking the Hummer, then made a beautiful dragon tail turn, spun around on the spot, and suddenly leaped towards the road. The motorcycle lost control and suddenly fell to the ground, sliding towards the chassis of the Hummer with the momentum. This move was both bold and extremely clever; if the Hummer had been going too fast, it might have flipped over, or even worse, exploded. The big man driving stepped on the brake, but it was still half a second too late. The motorcycle slid under the front chassis of the Hummer, getting firmly stuck there. With a brief, harsh, and grating sound, the Hummer was nailed to the road, motionless. Su Youyou's heart trembled with a mix of despair and surprise, followed by regret and remorse, thinking to herself: Was that him just now? Did he come to save me? Am I not bringing disaster upon him? Tang Yulan displayed his ruthless determination to the fullest, even scaring the bandits in the car. From the passenger seat, the man with a face full of flesh jumped out, holding his submachine gun and looking around fiercely. On the street, frightened pedestrians scattered in all directions. An old man who had just come out of the chess and card room shuddered, his dentures falling to the ground, too scared to pick them up, he quickly shrank back, taking big steps that almost caused him to twist his waist. 'Damn it, come out here, you son of a bitch!'

The burly man clearly remembered the motorcycle rider leaping to the right, but when he got off the bike, there was only a shivering beggar by the roadside, with no one else in sight. 'Bang!' The streetlight next to him flickered and went out, the glass fragments of the lampshade falling to the ground with a crisp noise. The burly man's heart lurched, he raised his gun and turned sharply, his palms sweaty with tension, but he still couldn't find his target. Inside the Hummer, Su Youyou was too nervous to lift her head, and the other three bandits also looked very pale. 'Bang!' Another sound, a nearby streetlight shattered, and although it wasn't completely dark around the Hummer, the light was clearly insufficient. The oppressive anger made it hard to breathe, and an inexplicable fear was approaching step by step. The burly man fired his submachine gun wildly, shouting, 'Stop skulking around and come out!' Just then, footsteps came from behind him. The burly man's eyes widened as he turned around, the cigarette butt flickering, and just as he was about to raise his gun, a black fist with a sharp gust of wind swept across, too fast for him to dodge. The burly man's body flew sideways, and with a thud, he fell to the ground. 'Two brothers! Second brother!' The man with the hooked nose opened the car window and shouted loudly. Not hearing any response, he realized something was wrong in his heart. His second brother's body, muscular like Schwarzenegger's, although reckless, how could he have no chance to resist at all? The man with the beard shrank his body, one hand clutching Su Youyou's arm tightly, his palm sweaty. Seeing his appearance, the big man driving the car got angry and shouted, 'Quick, go down and check.' 'Big brother, I'm scared!'

A big man slapped him across the face, 'You're afraid of death? I'll shoot you right now if I want. If it weren't for you being discovered by the armed police, would all this have happened?' The four of them were not blood brothers, but wanted fugitives who robbed and kidnapped wherever they went. At such a critical moment, what feelings could there be? 'Big brother... I...' The man with the beard wanted to say something more, but seeing the pistol pointed directly at his head, he trembled to his feet and walked out with a mournful face, swaying with every step. 'Let's go, we'll get out of the car too, and keep an eye on this chick,' the big man instructed the man with the hooked nose. The Hummer was pinned to the road surface, and if they just waited for the police to arrive, there would only be one way out—death. Just as the two got out of the car and met up, it was silent all around, not a sound to be heard. Looking forward, the bearded man was already lying on the ground, dead or alive unknown. Weird. The two exchanged glances, could it be that there really were ghosts? All four of them had been through countless battles! At that moment, the distant sound of police sirens approached. 'Let's move!' the big man gritted his teeth, and the two of them, holding Su Youyou hostage, walked towards a dark alley ahead. The three of them disappeared into the darkness, with the hooked nose pressing the pistol to the small of Su Youyou's back, warning, 'Don't play tricks, I won't be gentle!'
