It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 445 [094] Rapid Rescue

As the police car drove by, the clouds in the sky gradually became heavier and acid rain began to fall.

The windshield wipers started working, barely maintaining visibility of the road ahead. Through the blurred glass, one could vaguely see the buildings on both sides of the road. Their exterior walls were mottled by acid rain, with broken windows and crooked porches, and it seemed that no one lived there.

Qin Jiandan, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, explained: "After purchasing the first batch of 11 armored buses, the Night Dragon Society is repairing the roads. These residents are within the scope of the repair plan and are now temporarily relocated to the Border City Special Zone. This is what is called the 'relocation households' in the Earth era!"

Mu Yue looked ahead and gripped the steering wheel tightly: "I hope you didn't demolish the houses violently and compensated them properly."

"Of course! Although they live in container houses now, they will be able to get the agreed compensation houses when the first phase of the special zone construction is completed! Compared with the original dilapidated houses next to the highway, they are in a far cry from the old ones!"

As if to prove what Qin Jiandan said, a two-story building with the words "Keep Out" painted on it collapsed in the acid rain. Mu Yue turned the steering wheel in time to prevent the police car from being affected.

Although it was nearly 10 o'clock in the morning, there was no sunlight outside and I could feel the chill seeping in through the car window.

The ventilation system in the car circulates air constantly, trying to filter out the pungent smell brought by the acid rain. The engine sound of the police car seems dull and depressing in the rain, intertwined with the tiny sound of raindrops hitting the roof, making people feel inexplicably lonely and desolate.

The road ahead was even worse, and even Mu Yue's driving skills could not avoid bumps. The water in the potholes mixed with the acid rain, forming a dangerous acidic mud that could swallow the wheels at any time and put the police car in trouble.

Qin Jiandan couldn't drive, so he couldn't help much. He asked in confusion, "The company clearly has the technology to fly a hovercraft, so why doesn't it allocate police cars for use? Is it because the police department is only responsible for the inner city, and the roads in the inner city are better?"

Mu Yue thought for a moment and then answered, "I also asked the Chief of Police this question. He told me that installing levitation technology would increase the chances of criminals robbing police cars - such as daring criminals like you."

"Nonsense! Why would I leave the pretty policewoman in the car and rob the police car?"

Mu Yue ignored Qin Jiandan's flattery, at least she didn't show an obvious smile because of it.

"At the time, I asked my uncle why driverless taxis used floating technology. My uncle said that driverless taxis were experimental projects. They had no steering wheels and were not easily hijacked. If someone tried to forcibly dismantle them, they would explode."

With a "squeak", Mu Yue stepped on the brakes and stopped the car in an emergency at the cost of tire wear. The sound made Qin Jiandan mistakenly believe that the police car was about to explode.

"Jiandan, get out of the car and take a look! Someone is lying on the side of the road, it looks like a pregnant woman!"

Qin Jiandan opened the door and jumped out of the police car. The smell of acid rain hit him in the face, bringing with it a pungent chemical smell reminiscent of burning plastic.

There was indeed a pregnant woman curled up in a puddle, her clothes were worn and stained with mud, her hair was soaked and stuck to her face, rain and tears mixed together, silently sliding down her cheeks. Her belly, the cradle of new life, looked particularly abrupt in the bitter wind and rain.

The pregnant woman was holding tightly in her hands a tattered package, which might be her only possession. Her fingers had turned purple due to the cold, but she still refused to let go, as if it was her last bit of perseverance for her unborn child.

Qin Jiandan approached cautiously and felt the pregnant woman's breath.

"She's in a coma, and although I don't quite understand it, she looks like she's going to give birth!"

"Don't let her continue to get wet in the rain!" Mu Yue urged anxiously, "Carry her to the back seat of the police car!"

Using Steel Armor Breathing to resist the corrosiveness of acid rain, Qin Jiandan carried the pregnant woman into the car. On the way, he briefly checked whether she was a human bomb - they could not let down their guard in the guild struggle.

The two mutant wolfhounds growled in the shadows, angry that Qin Jiandan had snatched their prey. Qin Jiandan turned around and gave them a fierce look, which frightened them so much that they fled in panic.

The pregnant woman was laid horizontally in the back seat of the police car, and a thermal blanket was placed over her as instructed by Mu Yue, but she continued to tremble. Her breathing was rapid and weak, and her lips had lost their color.

"We must go to the hospital immediately!" Mu Yue said, "Jian Dan, you are more familiar with this place, where is the hospital?"

Qin Jiandan, who sat back in the passenger seat, scratched his head - although he was not a person with a poor sense of direction, he was not an expert in finding his way with a map in his mind.

"This is the junction between the headquarters and the Falling Cherry Group. It's raining so hard outside that we can't see clearly! We can just drive along the main road and reach the prosperous area on Yingtong Street. Then we will naturally find the hospital!"

Mu Yue took action immediately. She flipped a switch on the control panel, causing the red and blue warning lights on top of the police car to flash, indicating that there was an emergency mission and other vehicles should give way.

As the red and blue interwoven light cut through the curtain of acid rain, Mu Yue seemed to have switched into official mode.

The sirens blared, the engines roared, and the police car set off again like an arrow from a bow, with tires splashing water on the slippery road. Mu Yue gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes as sharp as a falcon, piercing through the rain, looking for the best unobstructed path. She drove the police car through the streets, sometimes accelerating, sometimes turning sharply, and every operation was precise and decisive.

The rain was pouring down, and the police cars left streaks of light in the rain. Some residents wearing plastic raincoats hurriedly walked on the flooded streets. Some were unlucky and were splashed with mud by passing police cars. "Damn it! The city police didn't hide in the inner city, but dared to go crazy in the outer city? I, the "Hizashi no Oki", will dismantle the police cars and sell them as scrap metal!"

"Brother Gui, you're almost there. I didn't see who was driving the police car, but the young master of the Night Dragon Society was sitting in the passenger seat. A little splash of mud and water won't kill anyone."

"Is that so? Damn it! The city police are too arrogant! They even dared to arrest the young master of the Night Dragon Society. The young master must want to wait until there are fewer people to kill the city police! In this case, I will not take action for the time being!"

Despite the bad road conditions and the blinding rain, Mu Yue still managed to shorten the usual half-hour drive by half. When arriving at Yingtong Street, the acid rain gradually stopped, a rare rainbow appeared in the sky, and pedestrians on the street took off their umbrellas and raincoats.

The buildings on Yingtong Street are not as tall as those in the inner city, but they also have a crisscrossing beauty that blends the ancient with the fashionable. The girls who are active there are especially young and pretty. They wear beautiful clothes, carry brand-name bags, and stand in the streets and alleys in a coquettish manner, discussing prices with customers.

Qin Jiandan boasted: "This is what I think. Wherever there are poisonous snakes, there must be an antidote within seven steps. There must also be a maternity hospital near the Customs Street."

If the steering wheel in his hand could be thrown away, Mu Yue would have definitely hit Qin Jiandan on the head with it.

"This pregnant woman's problem is not just giving birth! She is suffering from severe hypothermia and her skin has been burned by acid rain. A small maternity hospital cannot solve the problem!"

"I have just solved the problem of hypothermia."

"what?"

"Just now on the road, I used my inner strength to increase my body's core temperature, and then used 'time overwrite' to transfer the fact of 'warming up'. At least I can ensure that the pregnant woman will not freeze to death."

"Besides," Qin Jiandan opened the car door and walked down, "this place is very close to the Luoying Group's headquarters, which is the castle tower. I can just make a phone call and ask Xiaoxia to help find a big hospital."

There happened to be a medium-sized store with a pink sign nearby. Qin Jiandan thought it looked familiar. He asked Mu Yue to wait in the police car for a while and he pushed the door and walked in.

The heavily made-up mama-san in the lobby immediately came up to him and said, "Young Master, you are here again! This time... you don't need to use the restroom, do you?"

Qin Jiandan then remembered that he had used the bathroom here last time after drinking the beer that Linlin had mixed with laxatives.

"This time it's not the toilet..."

Mama-san was delighted: "Then I will call the girls out right away..."

"Don't talk nonsense! My wife is outside!"

Mama-san looked out through the small window and saw a police car parked outside the door. The red and blue lights on the roof made people dizzy.

"Oh my, the city police will scare away other guests..." Mama-san muttered, "Young Master, please stop scaring me. What's the matter?"

Qin Jiandan said: "There is a pregnant woman in the car. She is about to give birth and is injured. She needs treatment in a large hospital. Where is your phone number?"

"Phone? The phone is on the second floor, because customers don't like being seen making phone calls..." Mama-san hopes that the police car will be moved away as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay her business.

"I know the phone number of the largest hospital nearby. I see patients there myself! Young Master, I'll call an ambulance for you! But... Young Master, can you please ask the police car outside the door to turn off the lights and move a little bit?"

With the help of Mama-san, an armored ambulance arrived and took the pregnant woman in the back seat of the police car away. Qin Jiandan asked them to do everything they could to treat the pregnant woman, and all the expenses incurred would be charged to his account.

"No, put it in my account and send me the bill." Mu Yue insisted on her opinion, and Qin Jiandan had to do as she wished.

"Tsk, Mu Yue, why do you have to settle accounts with your dear husband..."

Mu Yue interrupted Qin Jiandan's complaints and said, "I want to stop by Luoying Group's castle tower and pay my respects to Silang, whose body is resting there. After all, Silang was killed by Rui Shuang, and I have this obligation."

Qin Jiandan slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, this is indeed the case. It's just that Silang has died several times, and I'm a little confused. I have to ask the Luoying Group to give Silang a free gift. Muyue, don't snatch it from me this time."

Mu Yue smiled bitterly: "I can't help it even if I want to snatch it from you. I'm used to using bank cards, and I don't have that much cash on me."
