CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 27: WATCH YOUR MOUTH AND HOLD ON TIGHT!

Didn’t expect this girl has a silly and adorable attribute, kind of cute.

But right now, Xiao Tian really doesn’t care about whether she’s cute or not.

Upon hearing her question, he responded irritably.

"Do I look like Ox Head and Horse Face, Black and White Impermanence! Stop talking nonsense, hold tighter!"

The moment the girl jumped off the building, she already felt scared.

Only at the brink of death does one realize the preciousness of life.

Now being rescued, the girl obediently shut her mouth and cooperated with Xiao Tian.

In fact, Xiao Tian himself could single-handedly lift heavy weights over a hundred pounds.

But now his body was hanging in mid-air, without any supporting point, coupled with the force of falling differing from ordinary gravity, and the cement stone platform being very slippery, it was quite difficult for Xiao Tian to hold on.

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on this single move." Xiao Tian shouted loudly and exerted all his strength, gradually lifting the girl with his left hand.

But suddenly, a "crack!" sound.

At this critical moment, the cement stone platform that Xiao Tian was gripping unexpectedly crumbled.

"Damn it, shoddy construction!!" Xiao Tian cursed aloud.

Losing the support, both of them began to fall in a straight line.

"Ah! Oh no! They’re all falling!!"

There was another round of screams below.

"Xiao Tian!!"

Zhang Xuan, who rushed over, also yelled anxiously.

He knew Xiao Tian was skilled, but no matter how good, a mortal body falling down would also mean death.

But looking below.

Xiao Tian was hanging right there on the nineteenth floor.

Turns out, the exterior wall of Huangfeng Mansion was adorned with sandstone relief sculptures, and in that instant of falling, Xiao Tian grabbed onto a protrusion on the wall.

"Thank goodness!" Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Tian, hold on, I’ll quickly find something."

Xiao Tian frowned without speaking, his expression serious.

This protrusion was extremely small, he could only cling to it with two fingers, simply unable to hold on for long.

"Are we going to die?" The girl below Xiao Tian asked pitifully.

At this point, the girl truly felt the fear of death.

"Die my ass! Shut up, if you can’t talk, don’t speak." Xiao Tian considered himself not someone with a short life span, how could he die in such a place.

But suddenly, his hand couldn’t hold on anymore, and he slipped down again.

Wooo——wooo——

Their bodies rapidly slid downwards, the whistling wind filled their eardrums.

"Ah—ah—ah!"

The terror of high-altitude falling made the girl instinctively close her eyes, shouting out in a series of cries.

"Huh?" The girl exclaimed in surprise, suddenly feeling her downward momentum slowing down.

Opening her eyes, she saw that during the fall, Xiao Tian’s hand didn’t miss any protrusion on the wall.

During their rapid fall, Xiao Tian actually used his hand’s gripping strength to clutch onto the wall, forcibly slowing down their descent.

And on the wall, a trail of bright red bloody handprints was left from top to bottom.

Looking at Xiao Tian’s hand, it was already bloody and mangled, yet his face didn’t show much pain.

The wall protrusions were small and scattered, relying on them to remain stationary was simply impossible.

The two were still falling, and when they reached the fifteenth floor, there happened to be a small railing.

Xiao Tian gave up the protrusion and reached for the railing, but the quality of that railing was still shoddy construction.

Crack——

It snapped directly.

But it slightly intercepted their speed, taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Tian grabbed the protrusion on the wall.

Throughout their fall, Xiao Tian desperately clung to every object he could grab.

The people below could only watch as the incredible speed of a high-altitude fall turned into an unprecedented slow descent.

"Oh my gosh! Who is this guy! This wall is so barren, yet he can still grasp it, this is incredible!"

The crowd watching below widened their eyes in astonishment.

"Did I just see Spider-Man?!"

"Spider-Man couldn’t even do this!"

"Yes, yes! This guy is so incredible! Let’s quickly take pictures of these amazing scenes, these photos will definitely become a hit online!"

"Right, right, this hero figure, quickly take photos, as a wallpaper!"

Amidst the crowd at the bottom, taking out their phones for a frenzy of snapshots, the two had already fallen to the fourth floor.

Xiao Tian spotted a railing on the third floor, and let go to grab it directly.

Bang——

Finally, the third-floor railing was thick enough to stop the falling duo.

Beside them, the waiting firefighters hurried over, set up a ladder on the wall, and helped the two down.

A fall from a building of twenty stories, and they were unharmed, such a tale would be a miracle!

Seeing Xiao Tian and the girl standing intact over there, the crowd erupted in cheers, applause thundered around.

"A miracle, this is simply a miracle!" Someone exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, so amazing, so incredible, so dominating, and... words can’t even describe it!"

"Hero, this is a heroic feat! Our Shanghai has spawned a hero!"

...

The crowd lavished their words of praise generously, surrounding Xiao Tian with continuous admiration and worship.

Especially when they saw Xiao Tian’s bloody hand, their awe was beyond words.

On the other side, the rescued girl’s previously lifeless eyes also gained vitality.

Seeing Xiao Tian, her eyes reflected a complex mix of emotions—regret and guilt.

...

Xiao Tian’s hand was injured, and the girl had experienced a degree of shock; both were sent to the city hospital.

Inside the surgical examination room, the doctor looked at Xiao Tian’s hand in shock.

Next, they inquired about the injury process and prescribed some topical cleaning and anti-inflammatory medicine, suggesting that Xiao Tian get some bandages first.

Inside the trauma bandage room.

Xiao Tian stretched out his mangled hand.

"Go ahead."

"Oh my God, Officer Xiao, how did your hand get injured like this!"

The moment he stretched out his hand, the young nurse bandaging Xiao Tian was shocked and her mouth fell open.

"It’s just a few layers of flesh torn off, nothing much, let’s start the bandaging." Xiao Tian said nonchalantly.

Just looking at it felt painful, but listening to Xiao Tian’s calm demeanor, the young nurse couldn’t help but feel admiration.

This Officer Xiao is really not an ordinary person.

"Don’t worry, Officer Xiao, I’m the best at bandaging in the hospital, I’ll make sure it’s done perfectly for you."

Saying this, the young nurse began to clean Xiao Tian’s wound.

Filled with respect, the young nurse was especially patient with Xiao Tian, and her hands were quite skillful.

Soon, Xiao Tian’s palm was bandaged neatly and securely, and he didn’t even feel restricted when moving it.

"By the way, do you know how Officer Yu Ningxue is doing now?"

Xiao Tian suddenly thought of the beautiful mentor and realized he hadn’t seen her for two days. Since he was at the city hospital, he thought he might as well go see her later.

"Oh, you’re talking about Officer Yu? She’s doing well, she’s already woken up."

"Hmm." Xiao Tian nodded and stepped out.

Outside Yu Ningxue’s ward.

Knock, knock, knock—

Xiao Tian stretched out his intact hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Yu Ningxue’s voice came from inside the room.

After many days, Xiao Tian finally heard the pleasant voice of his beautiful mentor again, feeling a bit excited deep down.

Clack—

The door was turned open by Xiao Tian.

By the window, a graceful silhouette stood quietly in a patch of soft sunlight, turned away from him.

Upon hearing the door open, she slowly turned around, and that gentle face immediately came into Xiao Tian’s view.

"Ningxue, you’re finally awake."

Having gone through life and death separation, this reunion felt exceptionally precious. As long as his beautiful mentor was awake, everything was good.

Xiao Tian smiled as he walked over, spreading one arm with an inviting gesture.

Unexpectedly, unlike Xiao Tian’s enthusiastic excitement, Yu Ningxue’s originally calm face suddenly changed when she saw Xiao Tian.

"What’s wrong, beautiful mentor? I’ve been eagerly waiting for you to wake up, and you’re not happy to see me?" Xiao Tian thought puzzledly, I haven’t offended her.

What Xiao Tian might not know, but Yu Ningxue remembered was when he secretly kissed her.

Originally, Yu Ningxue was quite conflicted about the fact that she was clearly awake at the time but didn’t get angry and slap this rascal.

Later, she analyzed bit by bit, realizing that being pestered by this rascal every day saying he wanted to be her boyfriend, she had inadvertently started to like him a little.

That wasn’t the main point, the main point was, after stealing her first kiss, this rascal never appeared again!

Who knows if he took advantage of her and then went off to flirt with other women.

Thinking of this made Yu Ningxue very angry.

So, how could she not have a change of face when seeing Xiao Tian!

"Oh, it’s Officer Xiao. How come you have time to see me?"

Yu Ningxue replied expressionlessly, her tone cold.

As soon as Xiao Tian heard these sarcastic words, he immediately understood and felt a little secretly pleased.

It seems the beautiful mentor doesn’t have zero feelings for me.

"Beautiful mentor, I didn’t come to see you these days, did you miss me a lot?"

Xiao Tian said this with a giggle as he walked over.

"Hmph! Who would miss you, you little rascal, stop flattering yourself."

Yu Ningxue gave Xiao Tian an angry look, exasperated by his audacity.

"You may not miss me, but I sure miss you. Come, beautiful mentor, for your awakening at last, let’s have a hug."

Xiao Tian continued to shamelessly inch closer, intending to pull Yu Ningxue’s delicate body into his arms.

"Get lost~"

Yu Ningxue dodged, her face turned bright red from Xiao Tian’s shamelessness, not knowing whether it was from anger or embarrassment.

"Ouch~ that hurts!" Xiao Tian groaned in pain.

"What’s wrong?" Yu Ningxue looked at Xiao Tian with confusion, suddenly noticing his hand wrapped in bandages.

"I injured my hand during a mission, and you still treat me like this, beautiful mentor, it makes it hurt even more!" Xiao Tian said with grievance.

"Pfft~" Ever since Xiao Tian arrived, he always appeared fierce in front of everyone, but his current demeanor amused Yu Ningxue.

Those bandages weren’t fake, it seemed Xiao Tian was indeed occupied with work recently, which was why he didn’t come.

Having understood this, Yu Ningxue stopped being upset.

"Looks pretty serious, how did you get hurt?" Yu Ningxue asked with concern.

Xiao Tian sighed inwardly, glad to have pacified her.

He briefly informed Yu Ningxue about the recent events at the bureau.

The two of them sat and chatted for a while.

Yu Ningxue’s injuries had mostly stabilized, and she planned to be discharged in a couple of days.

Initially, Xiao Tian didn’t agree, wanting her to rest at the hospital a bit longer.

"The smell of medicine in this hospital is too strong." Obviously disgusted by it, Yu Ningxue insisted on leaving.

"Alright then, I’ll come to pick you up when you’re discharged," Xiao Tian said helplessly.

...

When Yu Ningxue needed to rest, Xiao Tian finally left.

"I’m sorry sir, I really didn’t mean to."

"Damn it, clumsy and useless!"

Just a few steps away, Xiao Tian suddenly heard shouting and cursing from a distant ward.
