Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010 Life-and-Death Speed (4)

“Duke, we have ten minutes left.”

On the phone screen, time was rapidly slipping away, as the numbers shifted from two digits to one.

Due to the delay in the plane landing, the previously ample time now seemed a bit tight.

Parking, going upstairs…

All of these required time. Within nine minutes, he had to drive the car back to the hospital. The same distance took fifteen minutes before; now they only had nine. Was it really possible?

The assistant in the passenger seat glanced at the man holding the steering wheel, whose face was calmly unruffled, feeling doubtful that there might not be enough time.

The tires screeched against the ground as the ambulance deftly drifted around the corner, speeding onto a straight path.

Huangfu Jue pressed harder with his right foot, the engine continued to exert power, accelerating once more.

“How many minutes left?”

Huangfu Jue asked.

“Eight minutes.”

Huangfu Jue glanced at the electronic map on the dashboard. He had already studied this route on the map and driven it once before; it was already ingrained in his mind.

The distance at each turn, the distance at each intersection, the number of curves… all crystal clear.

The ambulance was not a race car. Although it had substantial power, it wasn’t a model suited for speed. If they returned via the same route within eight minutes, it might be difficult.

What to do?

Reaching out to adjust the map, Huangfu Jue’s eyes lit up.

“Countdown.”

“Yes!”

The car turned a corner again. At this point, the ambulance was three blocks away from the doctor.

“Seven minutes.”

A traffic police officer stopped a pedestrian about to cross the road, as the ambulance roared past them.

…

Ahead, through the intersection, there was a relatively long straight road. The hospital was on the side of this road. The assistant looked up at the hospital just ahead, and his palms were sweaty from gripping the handle.

Rushing at full speed might still be timely.

“Six minutes!”

As the car reached the intersection, Huangfu Jue suddenly turned the car to the left.

The assistant, unprepared, was thrown to the left side. Fortunately, the seatbelt protected him from hitting his head.

Seeing Huangfu Jue steer onto the left fork, the assistant shouted in urgency.

“Duke, that’s the wrong way, you should go straight…”

In the midst of his voice, the car had already made another right, turning onto a narrow two-lane road.

“Shut up!”

Huangfu Jue barked lowly.

The assistant’s lips went stiff, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat. Glancing at the address, he suddenly realized—Huangfu Jue was taking another route.

This hospital spanned several acres. The road in front led to the main entrance, but now they were taking this route that directly led to the side of the hospital. From the map, it was clear there was only a wall separating them and the inpatient building, with a marked small gate. Compared to the distance from the inpatient building to the main entrance, this was at least two hundred meters shorter. Huangfu Jue intended to enter the hospital from here to gain more time.

While the assistant was calculating how much time could be saved, the car had already screeched to a halt outside the small gate.

Huangfu Jue pushed the car door open and jumped out, pulling open the rear door.

“Give it to me!”

The two medical personnel sitting in the back were all pale. Driving over twenty kilometers within a few minutes, including several curves, at such speed was their first experience. The young doctor holding the heart was already pale as paper, struggling to respond upon hearing Huangfu Jue’s voice.
