Chapter 301: Chase.
Hao Ren took the driving seat, and started the engine of the sports car that Miss Ye Yue drove. She was not a common teacher but an international artist in her prime and this job was very lucrative to her.
Hao Ren exited the parking lot and said, "Lingshi, call the police and tell them Miss Ye is driving the car to follow the kidnappers."
Han Lingshi woke up from the stupor and dialed the number as she sat in the back seat. The call was connected and Han Lingshi said, "Hello, my name is Han Lingshi, a student at the Prestige High School. Just now, my class teacher, Miss Xia Yulei has been forcefully abducted by someone and we are chasing them with my Music Teacher Miss Ye Yue."
The cops were trying to dissuade them from doing this but Han Lingshi looked at Hao Ren who said, "They are heading out of the city, it would be tricky to catch them without any leads, we will keep a safe distance, just tell them to hurry up."
Han Lingshi did what he told and disconnected the line after the officer said that they will be tracking her cell to keep up. Hao Ren then asked, "Does anyone has the contact for Commissioner Xia Yang? Inform him as well, this could help him come up with some plan on how to deal with this as well."
Han Lingshi replied, "I will tell my father about it. He knows Commissioner Xia."
She was quick in her moves and sent a message to Han Ming who called back and asked her where she was, Han Lingshi said, "This is not a time to baby me, go and inform the Commissioner, I am fine."
She disconnected the call, as she gazed at Hao Ren who was crossing a square. The young man said, "Hold on to something, we are chasing them."
Ye Yue asked hurriedly, "What do you mean chasing them? You said we will keep a safe distance."
Hao Ren said, "They are picking up speed, the expressway is just a hundred meters away from here."
As he said this, he shifted the gears and the car roared as the people felt a front impact pushing them back in the seats and the young man said, "Good car."
...
Xia Yang was sitting in his office with a cigarette when his phone rang. he picked up the call with indifferent mood as he went through the documents and asked, "Xia here,"
Han Ming said, "Commissioner Xia, your sister, Miss Xia Yulei has been kidnapped by someone. This is Han Ming, my daughter saw everything and they are following the criminals, they have also informed the police."
Xia Yang froze and then he calmed down as he said, "Thank you, Mister Han, I will deal with it."
He disconnected the call and quickly pressed a button on the intercom and called the police chief, who interrupted him and said, "Do not worry, Brother Xia, I have sent my best people on the rescue already."
Xia Yang said, "My sister should not suffer, and those people should not live."
The police chief assured him that they will do the best.
...
Hao Ren drove on the highway and the car turned into a streamer under his control. He was just a few meter away from the runaway car and Xia Yulei was visibly held against the window on a gun point. Han Lingshi held on to the door handle and asked, "Hao Ren what should we do? This situation is not looking any good."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "These men haven't even put any seat belts, I cannot risky bumping into them to stop or Miss Xia might get in an accident."
Ye Yue replied, "I have a small two shot stun gun, would it be of any use?"
Hao Ren reached out his left hand and said, "Give it to me, I will try to hit the tyres and slow them down."
Ye Yue hesitated but her hands were still shivering. Hao Ren said, "The city limits are not further from her, and once a jurisdiction issue is raised Miss Xia would be troubled in their grasp."
Ye Yue clenched her teeth and took out a small pistol from the glove compartment and said, "It only has two shots."
Hao Ren nodded and weighted the gun in his hand before he asked, "They are rubber bullets?"
Ye Yue nodded while she held onto the door rails tightly. The young man took the gun in his right hand and lined up his car beside the enemy vehicle. Then he quickly aimed at the tire and covered the rubber bullet with his spiritual energy and fired the first shot. A small explosion sounded and the tyre burst.
The enemy car swayed left and right. Hao Ren braked to avoid an accident and then he caught up again, this time he attacked the front left tyre of the car. Same result and the enemy car slowed down significantly. Dwight saw this and he yelled, "Fuck you, Hao Ren."
As he said this, he raised his gun and fired at Hao Ren and the rest.
Hao Ren did not expect this and said, "Duck, and stay low."
Luckily, Dwight was a terrible shot and missed all the shots. Hao Ren floored the pedal and braked hard to position himself behind the runaway car. He then followed them up from the left side and steered himself into back of the car.
The runaway car was already very slow because of the two damaged tires, and the strong bump from Hao Ren made it steer to the left even more. The driver was experienced but while he was trying to steer clear of the concrete railing, Hao Ren bumped him from the right and ruined his attempt.
Ye Yue and Han Lingshi were surprised, they did not expect Hao Ren to be so gutsy that he would pull something like this with them in the car. Hao Ren saw one impression point falling and said, "I apologize, I got carried away when Dwight shot at us. He could have done some real harm to you. I am sorry."
The runaway car was not moving, Hao Ren said, "Wait here, I will go and check the situation quickly."
Ye Yue and Han Lingshi protested together, "NO!"
However, the young man had already left the vehicle and was dashing towards the damaged car. There were many other vehicles who were slowing down and watching the show, but when they saw a burly man climb out of the driver's seat with a gun in his hand, they pressed the accelerator and left quickly.
The man was still dizzy, he caught sight of Hao Ren rushing toward him and raised the gun, but by that time, Hao Ren was already next to him. The young man punched the burly thug under his chin, and knocked him out cold with one move.
Suddenly, Hao Ren heard a loud voice, "Hao Ren, you son of a bitch, you better stay where you are or I will shot Miss Xia right now."
Xia Yulei was held by Dwight who stood behind her with his gun aimed at her temple. Hao Ren saw another man was getting out of the co-passenger seat with a gun, and he looked at Dwight as he said calmly, "Fine, I am staying right here, but do not harm Miss Xia. She is innocent. Why must you drag her into this?"

Dwight was agitated and his hair were scattered, he replied begrudgingly, "Why else, her brother just came from some backwater and destroyed my family. She is the key to getting my father free."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Dwight, I know who fed you this idea, but is it really that easy? Not only did that person fooled you, but he also made you a criminal in the eyes of the laws. If you do not believe me, as this man beside you if I am lying."
Dwight looked at the thug beside him, who nodded. Dwight was dazed and Hao Ren said, "Dwight, if you stop now, there is still a chance that you might get away with house arrest, otherwise you would be sent to a prison and life will become hell for real. Dwight, look in your heart, ask yourself is that what your father would have wanted for you? After pampering so much, and loving you so much, would he want you to become a successful successor or a criminal just because that fake best friend of yours said so?"
As Hao Ren was confusing Dwight, five police cars appeared with loud sirens. Hao Ren looked at the man and said, "You cannot run anymore, if you resisted they will shoot you before you can cross the county border. Please surrender. You can also become a witness, that would lower your sentence."
The burly man did not have much resistance and dropped the gun before he knelt down and placed his hands in the air. Dwight was still dazed and Hao Ren said, "Dwight, you have always wanted to be better than Ron, right? Then today, you have the chance to put down the weapon and surrender. Ron is a coward who would run away from his sins, but you can be a better man and face all that you have done sincerely. Believe me, you would come out as a better and stronger person. Please, I implore you, let go of Miss Xia, you have five seconds left."
Hao Ren counted, "One, two, three, fou..."
Dwight let go of Miss Xia and threw his weapon to the side before he knelt down. Hao Ren dashed towards Miss Xia, who was drenched in cold sweat and her face was pale. He removed the tape stuck to her face and helped her lay down slowly. The cops and Han Lingshi reached them at the same time, and only the sound of Dwight's wails were heard as the cops arrested him.
